I am bulletproof?

Hi everyone, I'm Eden. I'm not a fan site maker (at least not yet) and I primiarly do fanlistings, but I eventually want to learn how to be a good fan site maker. Writing was never my strong suit and in school, I was always berated for my writing skills by teachers and even my boyfriend laughed at how I wrote like a 12 year old. You know how you know you're good at something and bad at another? Writing is my bad thing.
I'm way too shy and ashamed of my writing skills to make fan sites and I'm also afraid of getting eaten by fandom purists for any content I put on a fan site. I want to get away from this fear and write a fan site eventually to some characters I think deserve some love. However, I want to break away from the mold and do something different than the standard essay and analyze thing. (To be honest I just don't get those things and they bore me to death. Most of that stuff flies over my head tbh!)
I hope by that being here and breaking out my shy shell will allow me to not care about what I put on the internet and enjoy creating for myself. I already admit that I am good at what I do (design and code wise--moreso with code) but I'm also quite modest at times.
I'm pretty certain there are others that feel like me and I hope I can get to know everyone and hopefully make my first fan site a success. :) I do have two fandom-centric domains which house only fanlistings and one upcoming all-purpose domain (mostly going to be used for TCGs), but I hope to one day add to these and expand my talents beyond just code, design, and fanlistings.
A little about myself... I'm an indie game developer and my team consists of my boyfriend and two of my best guy pals. We are doing visual novels, classic-style RPGs and other fantastic stuff we feel is underrated. I do coding, character design, concept art, and other things having to do with characters. I like playing piano, indie-gaming, playing online TCGs, web design, coding (python is my favorite language) and I've been using Linux OSes for almost 9 years. I'm proud to call myself a Computer Scientist, though I don't have any degrees in it. My boyfriend has a Masters in it, but I'd love to go to school one day for it! I love pets but don't own any. My one and only cat is living with my parents a thousand miles away from where I live now. :(
I hope I can fit in here. ;o;
Edited to add: If anyone would like to add me on AIM or Google Talk and Twitter I'll include those here! Just make sure when you poke me, tell me who you are! I love chatting ^o^/
