I've been lurking on the edge of filk circles for a bit now, trying to get up the nerve to sing on my own rather than with someone else, or with a group.
They're kind of nice places to do that--pretty supportive.
In a way, I think filking is like the fanfiction of music. Which is fine for me, since music for me is definitely in the hobby camp. And many of those filking are just a little bit better than me, rather than a lot better, which makes the prospect of performing a little less frightening.
It makes me understand a little better how a fanfiction community can be a reasonable place to start writing, actually.
