Lol, you've just described the impetus for about 85% of the fanfiction I've started
What fanfic do you do if I may ask?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Probably... If I feel that I can pull it off...

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

None that have ever been finished.
The primary fandoms of my pitiful, unpublished career as a fanfic writer were X-Files and Harry Potter, and I'm currently still sufficiently pissed off about events of The Walk Dead season 5 that I've plotted out an alternative story line for some characters. We'll see whether Fear the Walking Dead and TWD season 6 cure me of taking the next step in the process. The fandom I'm surprised with myself for not wanting to write fanfic for has been Game of Thrones.
The one thing that fanfiction has taught me, though, is that I'd probably make a way better editor than a writer. I rarely make it past the plotting/outlining phase to the actually writing scenes phase.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

Bad books can be good for that. I hope to read your book. Are going English lit or German?
Shit someone already asked. Your writing skills on here seem adequate enough. Though my 2 cents is for a physics/ sci you don't want fancy stuff anyway. Nice simple and clear cut, like a Isaac Asimov or frank Herbert book. I want a copy when your done.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

See above. The problem is that there is one nonfic in production,one in the last stage of CE, and one half done, and before that is all completed I can't even touch this though I'd love to, or editor will go to kill mode...

I read and edited my comment. Any advice for a wonnabe writer?

Since I've only ever published technical and non fiction literature I don't feel entitled to give out advice for aspiring writers. But how about that: obtain Frey's "How to write a damn good novel" 1+2 and read them. It's entertaining most of the time and self conscious enough that he points out the limitations and problems with his advice. Other than that: write, write, write. What do you want to write?
