No, you're doing fine!

>> because (a) this is a first draft <<

Plenty of people do that in a Creative Jam. The idea is inspiration. People even post fragments and that is fine too. Some folks later revise and repost their work, others don't. It's all fine.

>> (b) I don't write regularly or professionally <<

Not required for this project. We have novices and experts, hobbyists and professionals, all hanging out and making stuff. Just jam. It's a great place to practice.

>> (c) I think this is a poem and it is more about me speaking to the experiences I know I haven't had and other people have than a science fiction story which is where the prompt felt like it was going <<

That's fine. Sometimes a prompt matches the resulting work very closely, others times not because the author's mind went on a long tangent. All that matters is making some cool stuff.

>> (d) I just do. <<

You feel what you feel. You are entitled to your feelings. But sometimes, the sneaky little fuckers lie to you.

>> But here goes anyway.

No particular world or fandom, completely open to people doing whatever with this. <<
