You can and should write fanfiction that isn't perfect. You can and should write whatever fanfiction you want. You can and should write fanfiction that brings you joy even if it's silly or goofy or weird.
Except for me. My fanfic has to be perfect and read like a novel and ruin at least one person's sleep schedule.

"i don't comment on ao3 because i don't wanna be annoying or weird" skill issue + you greatly underestimate the power dynamic here, writing multi paragraph comments is like feeding a bunch of deeply insane and possibly starved ducks at the park and watch them go completely mad over having received a piece of bread

Non-writers don't understand how much of writing is just googling things like "when was the croissant invented" for worldbuilding reasons and staring off into the distance.

writing is 10% storytelling and 90% rearranging three sentences for an hour like you're trying to solve an ancient curse

I just want all you fanfic writers to know that you don't have to stress about your works being perfect. I WILL READ IT.
12 different spelling mistakes? I WILL READ IT. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
Used the same word 24 times? I WILL READ IT. THAT WORD IS PERFECT FOR THAT SITUATION.
Too many run-on sentences? BITCH DO I LOOK LIKE I GIVE A FUCK? TWO OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS ARE DOING IT NASTY STYLE!!!
