Fan Friction

Poetry, Rupi Kaur 1 Minute

I’d never heard of fanfic till I started writing on Wattpad now I’ve realised with a start I’m practically writing the stuff.

My new Wattpad book Light and Bitter is my failed attempt to write like best selling poet Rupi Kaur. I say failed because our styles are totally different.

Rupi made her name on Instagram. Her work is invariably short, often striking but to my mind not really Poetry. I’m intrigued more than a fan.

Sometimes Light and Bitter tries to imitate from a different perspective. Other times it will expand on a suggested theme or question what has been written.

Is this fan fiction? Perhaps I’ve invented a new genre Fan Friction?

I am a regular contributor to Wattpad where I write as andrewagreen. My first two collections on Wattpad were featured. My first published book Margaret’s Story - a biography of my mother in verse is available on Amazon. I live near Windsor, Berkshire and have offered my services, so far unsuccessfully, as the next Poet Laureate.
