ATTENTION: For anyone who reads fanfiction without leaving feedback

Here’s a few things you should know:

Fanfiction is a gift. 

Fic writers don’t have to share their works with you. They don’t have to write them at all. They do it and they share it because they’re fans of the show/book/movie etc. just like you, and they want to contribute to everyone’s enjoyment of fandom.

Fanfiction is hard to write. 

You need a lot of creativity and passion to write fic. You need a ton of motivation and drive to write a complete fic, let alone a good one. Fic authors write for hours and hours and hours, often staying up late into the night just to write. They write through job struggles and personal issues, resorting to phones and tablets when their computers are on the fritz, tapping away on public buses and trains just because they can’t find any other time to write.

Fanfiction is free. 

Fic writers give away thousands and thousands of words of pure fandom magic, and you get to consume all of it for the wonderful price of nothing. The only reward writers receive for themselves (besides a sense of accomplishment) is the response they get from you, the reader. Some don’t even feel that accomplishment until they see kudos and comments telling them how much their work was enjoyed. 

Please. 

No matter how much time you have, even just clicking the kudos button takes less than a second. And if you have time to read 5k words at one go, it’s no stretch at all to take a few more seconds to type ‘good job!’ or ‘i loved this!’ in the comment box and hit send. 

Still not convinced?

1. IF YOU’RE EMBARRASSED / SHY,

Fic authors LOVE hearing from you. Don’t worry about whether you think you’re going to phrase your response well. That’s literally the last thing we care about. Just knowing that you had a good time with something we made is EVERYTHING to us.

2. IF YOU STILL JUST DON’T SEE THE POINT,

I have a very special challenge for you, my friend.

Write a fic.

Go forth, and write a complete, well-structured, well-characterised fic with organic, stimulating dialogue interwoven into a proper, fully fleshed-out storyline. 

Publish your work for all the Internet to see.

And then get back to me.

OKAY.

So for those of you who get upset when writers ask for reblogs instead of likes, this is what my most popular fic looks like. The number of likes is astronomically larger than reblogs which means so many less people left any sort of feedback whatsoever and didn’t bother to share it with anyone.

It doesn’t mean us writers aren’t super grateful for likes! We are!! We like that you like our stuff!! But imagine how little time it takes you to reblog and say “wow I liked this a lot” so that a) the writer feels super awesome about something they worked really hard on and b) it gets shared to your followers so that it reaches more people along the way.

If you love the writers that you read reblog their work to get it out there more. Seriously.

Love on the Dancefloor

(This is my very first Keith fic, so sorry if it’s a little short and if he is a little out of character!)

Keith stood from the sidelines as he watched his team mingle and dance. He pulled at the bowtie of his suit gingerly, his purple eyes scanning the room of sharply dressed Aliens of all shapes and sizes, it was easy to spot the person he had been watching most of the night.

(Y/n) was standing near the table of, what Keith figure it was food, talking to a sharply dressed alien, but his eyes were strictly on her. Her dress was a dark red, down to floor, shoulders showing and a neckline covering her chest modestly while dipping far in the back, Keith couldn’t his eyes as his gazed dipped down to look at curves being hugged by the dress. Keith’s trance broke when (Y/n) walked over to him, prodding him on the shoulder.

“Hey, mister statue.” (Y/n) giggled. “What are you doing against the wall? You know that the party is more fun when you socialize.”

Keith shook the head, “I’ve never been good at socializing.”

(Y/n) flashed Keith a smile and stood beside him, “Then I’ll keep you company!”

Keith returned the notion with a small smile of his own, and turned back to look at the crowd. He didn’t need to fully turn his head to see (Y/n) swaying and slowly fluttering her dress, becoming antsy from staying in one place. A more slower tune drifted through Keith’s ears, eyes scanning the room, watching everyone (mostly everyone) pair off to dance.

“Wanna dance Keith?”

“What?” Keith tossed his head and looked at (Y/n), who was holding out her hand towards him.

“Do you want to dance?”

“I don’t know how to dance..”

(Y/n) grabbed his hand and walked to the dance floor, draping her other hand on his other arm. “Don’t worry, it’s easy!”

Keith slowly laid his hand on (Y/n)’s hip, as he started the gentle steps of a small waltz. (Y/n)’s smile was contagious, making Keith smile back at the her.

“And you said that you couldn’t dance…” (Y/n) said, giving Keith a sly smile.

“You said it would be easy.” Keith shot back slyly, pull her closer to his body.

She let out a light chuckle as she rested her forehead against his. Keith pressed his lips lightly to hers, letting the party melt around them, only allowing (Y/n) to be his center of attention. His hand slipped from (Y/n)’s hand to join the other one already on her waist, their movements slowing down to a simple sway. Keith was the first pulled away, not daring to look away from (Y/n).

“You’re getting better at that too Keith~”

Keith chuckled and bumped his nose against hers lightly. “Ahhh love you too (Y/n).”

Within the Deep (Hiro Hamada x Mermaid!Reader) Pt. 2

It has been more than a week since Hiro has met the mytersical girl (Y/n), and every night he has gone to see her. They had agreed to meet at night, it was the best idea than constantly looking over their shoulders in the daylight. Hiro had yet to tell his aunt and brother about his secret friend, which caused him to sneak in and out without their knowledge. He did get questioned when he appeared more tired in the daytime, but refused to say the truth, giving excuses.

Hiro, quietly snuck out of his house, making sure that none of his family woke up. Once he was a little ways from the house, he pulled out his lantern hidden in a bush outside his house and lit it. Once he got used to the light, Hiro started walking down to the shore. Every so often, Hiro would stop and look around, thinking that he heard something, but saw nothing. “Probably some animal.” Was the only thought Hiro thought of.

Once the shore came in sight, Hiro quickly took off his shoes and waded into the water, to a rock that he and (Y/n) would meet at. He shined his light around at the water, “(Y/n)? You there?”

“You called?”

Hiro jumped and quickly turned around to see (Y/n), her torso and head poking out of the dark water, a giggle escaping her lips. “Did I startle you Hiro?”

Hiro scoffed and turned the rest of his body around to fully face his friend, a blush crawling up his neck. “What? Nooo! I don’t get scared!”

(Y/n) giggled and hoisted herself on the rock next to Hiro, pushing her wet hair off her shoulder. “How was your day? Did anyone follow you?”

“My day was fine and I’m pretty sure that I wasn’t followed.”

(Y/n) smiled and tilted her head, cupping Hiro’s cheek tenderly, making Hiro try to swallow down the blush that was threatening to crawl up his neck again. “Wha-what are you doing?”

“What is with your eyes? Why is there darkness underneath?”

“Oh, humans get them when we don’t get enough sleep.”

(Y/n) frowned, “Oh this is my fault, I keep you awake most of the night.”

“Don’t worry (Y/n), I’ll be fine.”

“That’s not good enough.” (Y/n) cupped his other cheek and made him look her in the eyes. “You will not visit me tomorrow, get some rest!”

Hiro chuckled and placed his hands on her waist, just above where the scales started and squeezed playfully. “Alright alright. I’ll do that.”

(Y/n) looked at Hiro seriously, before bursting out into giggles, causing Hiro to join in with her. As their laughter died down, Hiro noticed that his hands were still on her waist and her hands were still on his cheeks. Hiro’s cheeked flushed as well as (Y/n)’s.

“I didn’t know that she could blush, and why does it make her look cuter??”

Hiro made no move to remove his hands from her, but choose to lean in towards her slowly, almost if he was in a trance. Hiro’s eyes fluttered shut as well as (Y/n)’s. Their lips were just about to touch, Hiro could feel her warm breath on his lips-

A loud snap from the treeline caused the both of them to jump back. Hiro quickly grabbed his lantern and stood up on the rock. A splash sounded from behind him, signaling him that (Y/n) had dove back into the water. “Who’s there!? Hello?”

“Hiro?”

Hiro’s arm slacked and his eyes widen. “Tadashi?”

“What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?”

Hiro shifted on his feet, trying not show his nervousness. “I-I could ask you the same thing Tadashi..!”

“Okay, new question, who’s she?”

“What? I’ve been here alone?”

Tadashi crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

(Y/n) hoisted herself back on the rock, much to Hiro surprise. “Hello there. My name is (Y/n).”

“Can you keep a secret?”

“What secret am I keeping?” Tadashi asked, slowly getting more confused.

(Y/n) shifted so her sparkling tail came into view, causing Tadashi to drop his arms and drop his jaw. “A mermaid! You’re talking to a mermaid?”

“What? I didn’t know. (Y/n), why didn’t you tell me?” Hiro restored, getting a giggle from (Y/n) and a deep sigh from Tadashi.

Hiro smiled, but faltered into a serious look. “Tadashi, you got to keep this a secret. She will be killed if people found out about her.”

Tadashi nodded, that was all (Y/n) needed.

“Thank you.” (Y/n) looked at the sea’s horizon, her eyes widening. “Oh! It is almost day break! You must go!”

Hiro nodded and was about to jump into the water, he felt a tug on his pant leg and looked down to see (Y/n) motioning for him to come down to her height. Giving in to her wishes and got down to his knees. Hiro’s eyes widen and his came back in full force once again, when he felt a pair of slightly chilled lips press against his cheek.

“Goodbye for now Hiro. Until the next!” And with that, (Y/n) dove back into the water.

Hiro smiled to himself and looked back at his brother. He jumped down into the water and waded back to shore. He couldn’t wait a full day.

“So just friends huh?”

“Shut up Tadashi.”

Within the Deep (Hiro x mermaid!Reader)

Hiro walked down the shoreline, a rather large book in his hands. The crash of the waves on the shore was peaceful, the sunlight made the perfect reading light for Hiro. he was so deep into his book, that he didn’t see the ripple of movement in the water and the head popping out of the water.

“What are you doing?”

Hiro jumped, sending his book flying into the sand. He tossed his head around, his eyes finally landed on the upper part of a female, no older than he was, her damp dark hair curtaining her face, which held a friendly smile. Hiro couldn’t help the brush crawling up his neck as his eyes scanned the rest of her body. While the woman in his village wore long dresses and skirts, the girl was wearing nothing but a black cloth wrapped around her chest, having no shame in showing it off.

“Hello? You speak English tongue, yes?”

Hiro shook his head, “yes, I do.”

The mysterious girl giggled, making Hiro feel slightly embarrassed. “Good.”

“Who are you? Where did you come from?”

“My name is (Y/n).” The girl-(Y/n) said, giving Hiro a friendly smile. “And I come from the sea…”

“How did you come from the sea?” Hiro asked, his eyebrows furrowing together. “There hasn’t been any new boats coming in the port today or lately for that matter.”

“It seems like I will have to show you..”

Hiro could only stand there silently in shock, as he saw a large fish tail being lifted out of the water, blue and purple scales shimmering in the mid-day sun.

“You-you’re-!” Hiro stammered out, unable to finish the sentence.

“A mermaid? I believe so, yes.” (Y/n) giggled out, wiggling her tail in the air.

“But-! You’re not real! Mermaids aren’t anything but a fable!”

Laughing out lightly, (Y/n) wiggled her tail again, watching the sun bounce off her scales. “Well, I am talking to you, so I would assume that I am real.”

Hiro couldn’t help but be speechless once again. He remembered the stories of mermaids as children’s fables, never once believing that they were real.

“-llo? Hello? Hello!”

Making a slight warbled noise, Hiro looked back at (Y/n), a teasing smile had being put in place. “Did you-ah, say something?”

“I have told you my name, and a rather large secret of mine. And yet, I have not been told yours and what exactly what you are reading?”

“Hiro, my name is Hiro.” Hiro replied, scanning the sand for the book that was still there. Once his eyes caught sight of the book, he quickly shuffled over and plucked the book back up, brushing the sand off the pages, “I’m reading about history.”

“May I see, Hiro?”

“Sure!” Hiro shrugged and waded in the water and hoisted himself on the rock that (Y/n) was leaning against. “Wouldn’t you know some of these though?”

“How old do you think I am?” (Y/n) giggled, raising an eyebrow.

Hiro simply shrugged, causing (Y/n) to giggle more.

“I am 14, what you human would call a ‘teenager’!”

Hiro chuckled and nodded, “Noted.” He put his book on his lap and flipped to the first page, so that (Y/n) wouldn’t be totally lost.

As Hiro read, he couldn’t help but look at the mythical girl beside him. How her eyes moved along the page, curiosity swimming as deep as the sea. He smiled softly, she was truly a wonder to behold. He could feel his heart flutter the more he looked at her, spend his time with her. A single emotion flashed through his head but he quickly dismissed it, making his heart ache. He tore his eyes away from her face, hoping to make the ache fade away.

After hours of reading and answering questions on Hiro’s part, Hiro finally looked up at the sky and his eyes widen slightly. “Oh! It’s almost dusk...the fishermen should be getting back soon.”

“Fisherman? I must go! Before I am spotted!” (Y/n) cried out, diving back into the water, splashing Hiro in the process.

“Wait!” Hiro called out, standing up on the rock. “Will I see you again?”

(Y/n) popped her head out, hiding her body in the water. “Of course! Have no doubt about that..! But I must go! Farewell for now!”

Hiro waved as he watched (Y/n) dive back into the water, a growing grin at the thought of seeing her again.

Life’s Moments

It was a quiet morning in the Hamada household, not a noise to be heard and everyone was fast asleep, stuck in their own little dreamworld...if only it were that was the case. The only person who was doing this was (Y/n) Hamada. She was so tired that she couldn't hear the banging that was happening downstairs in the kitchen, but only woke up to a gentle voice.

"(Y/n)...? (Y/n) honey, wake up..."

She stirred slightly and cracked her eyes open and turned her head to see her husband and three year old son standing at the foot of the bed, with Hiro holding a breakfast tray and Matthias holding a vase with a single red rose.

"Guys..." (Y/N) slowly sat up, being mindful of her five month baby bump and smiled brightly. "What's all of this?"

Matthias put the rose down on the bedside table and gave his mother a toothy grin. "We made food for you mommy!"

(Y/n) giggled as Hiro placed the tray on her lap. "I see that. Thank you."

"Your welcome baby..." Hiro said as he sat beside his wife and kissed her on the forehead lovingly.

Matthias climbed onto the bed and looked at (Y/n), waiting for her to take the first bite.

"Mmmm....it's really good! And you helped make this?" She asked her son, trying not to shove as much as she can at one time.

"Yea! Daddy let me pour the cakes! Just me!"

"Well...you did an amazing job Matty." She smiled brighter at her son's reaction. "So...am I missing something?" She looked at Hiro and took another bite. "This today like a special day or something?"

Hiro chuckled and shook his head. "No, you have been so wonderful lately with taking care of our unborn child and Matthias and working around the house during my crazy late nights at work. We just wanted to thank you for being the amazing wife and mother that you are." Hiro smiled softly and gently caressed her stomach.

(Y/n) couldn't stop her eyes from getting glossy and kissed Hiro's cheek. "Awww...you two are the sweetest."

Swallowing another bite, (Y/n) pointed her finger at her husband. "Speaking of which, aren't you working today?"

"Nope! I decided that I was gonna skip work today and spend time with my family, I'm starting to miss you guys.."

(Y/n) giggled and swallowed her last bite and pushed the tray to the end of the bed. "We missed you too...haven't we Matty?"

"Yeah! And baby too!"

Hiro chuckled and leaned down to place a small kiss on his wife's bump. "You've missed me too baby right?"

As if it was a fast response, both (Y/n) and Hiro felt a little ripple of movement. Hiro chuckled and placed more kisses on her stomach. (Y/n) hummed quietly and gently played with her husband's soft hair.

"So, what do you guys what to do today?"

"I was thinking that we can go to the café today..? Visit Aunt Cass and maybe the gang if they're there?"

"Sounds great! Wanna go see your aunts and uncles today?" She asked, stoking her son's hair lightly.

"Yea! Yea!" Matthias responded happily, bouncing on the bed.

Both (Y/n) and Hiro laughed. "Okay Okay...! Go to your room, one of us will be there in a second."

Matthias jumped off the bed and ran to his room as fast as he could.

"Well...I better go help him." (Y/n) tossed off the blanket to get out of her warm comfy bed, only to get held down by her husband.

"No no no...Let me, it's my turn to do things around here."

She wanted to get argue with her husband but just smiled happily and sighed. "Fine...I won't yell at you...this time...~"

Hiro gave her a slight smirk and shook his head. He loved his lovely hormonal wife. Just as he was about to step out of the room, when a lovely sentence rang through his ears.

"Can you at least help me out of bed?"

Hiro turned back around and could help but laugh at his wife's attempts to get out of bed, a sour look resting on her features. Yup, his lovely and very hormonal wife.

"Haha sure honey."

(Y/n)'s sour look shifted into a scowl towards her husband. Her scowl stayed focused in Hiro, even as he lifted her and gently set her on her feet. Hiro let a small smirk show and quickly pecked his wife on the lips, making her scowl turn into a bashful smile.

"I knew you can't stay mad at me dear~"

(Y/n) slapped Hiro in the chest, slightly laughing at his antics. "Hiro Hamada! You...!"

"Did I make you speechless Mrs. Hamada~?" Hiro chuckled out, wrapping his arms around her waist to the best he can and leaving a lingering kiss on her cheek.

"Someonnnnneeeee! Helllllpppp!!"

Hiro chuckled and slowly let go of his wife. "Coming son!" Hiro gave his wife one last peck to the lips and walked out of the room, towards their son's.

(Y/n) smiled softly and began to shift through her closet to see if she could find something that would fit over her big belly. "Hmmm...."

"I like the blue one~"

She squeaked and turned to see her husband standing behind her with a cocky grin on his face. (Y/n)  pulled out the blue dress that Hiro was eyeing and held it up. "This one?"

Hiro nodded. "I like that one on you...~"

(Y/n) sighed and smiled. "Alright alright! But let me get dressed without any touching..."

"Aww! why not??"

After a challenging time getting dressed (because the dress was a little hard slipping on and a certain Asian man couldn't keep his hands to himself), (Y/n) was sitting on the bench in the porch, while her husband slid her shoes on for her.

"Why you do that for mommy?" Matthias asked, kicking his legs on the bench.

"Because mommy has trouble looking at her feet, the baby is blocking the view." Hiro chuckled out.

"It's the baby's fault? Bad baby!"

(Y/n) laughed lightly and smoothed out her son's naturally straight hair. "It's not the baby's fault, the baby is growing and it needs to block the view sometimes."

"Ohhhh!" Matthias drawled out. "I sorry baby! I not know!"

Hiro chuckled and helped (Y/n) to her feet. "C'mon you two, lets go."

As they walked, (Y/n) and Hiro chatted quietly and watched their son run down the sidewalk, then right back.  

"Be careful of other people Matty!" Hiro called out making both his wife and child giggle.

Once they walked in the Café, Matthias ran ahead to find his family. "Awuntie Cass!!!!"

"Aww! There's my little man!" Cass emerged from behind the counter and scooped the giggly child in her arms and walked over to (Y/n) and Hiro. "And there's my favourite family!"

"Hi Aunt Cass!" The (H/C) woman hugged her aunt-in-law to the best of her ability.

"Hey Aunt Cass."

"How are we doing today? And Hiro, aren't you working today?"

"We're fine Aunt Cass, and I skipped out on work today. I need to spend time with my family."

"That's good! Oh! Tadashi and the gang is here if you were wondering!"

"Unca Dashi! Unca Dashi!!" Matthias yelled out, bouncing in his great-aunt's arms.

Cass chuckled and let the bouncing toddler down in order for him to run to his uncle. (Y/n) and Hiro chuckled and followed their son to the table where their friends were sitting.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Hamada." Tadashi chuckled out, holding his hyperactive nephew in his lap.

"Hey big bro." Hiro greeted back as he helped his pregnant wife into a chair. "We thought, we come see you guys today."

After a few hours of many old stories shared and laughter, the family of three decided that enough was enough for the day and headed out. As they walked, (With Matthias on Hiro's shoulders) (Y/n) suggested that they stop at a ice cream shop.

"Are you sure this isn't one of your cravings dear?" Hiro smirked, turning his head slightly to look at the Brown-haired woman.

"Nooooooo......"

Hiro chuckled. "C'mon then."

As they began to walk to the ice cream shop, (Y/n) couldn't help but think this was one of life's moments that was sweeter than anything in the world....even sweeter than ice cream.

Why I Write

I write because because I can live out realities that I can only imagine. Worlds of fierce kings and gentle heroes. Alternate realities to shows, books and movies that people want to see or see themselves in. or that I want to see myself in.

I write for the people who want to see themselves with a certain character for whatever reason may be. So they could also live out realities that they want to go to.

I write because I want my characters to come to life and be viewed by others. To use in future stories, to project the person I want to be. SoIi can feel like that they could be real, even if it’s for the slightest moment.  

I write because it’s my calming method, to recharge my mental battery. To get the day’s troubles out of my system and to feel refreshed for whatever tomorrow has to bring. So I know that when the day is done, that I have my stories waiting for me to continue and relax.

I write so other people can take refuge in the worlds I create. To cheer up any random person who may stumble upon my writing. So I can also take refuge from the harsh grip life has on me that moment.

Writing has been one of the best tools at my disposal. I continue to write so I can get better within time and hope to be a well known author one day. I know to start small, so that way I can grow into something great. That is why I write.
