Been hearing this is a problem again. Don't be a dick in bookmarks, folks. And yes while I made this image, I'm giving free reign. Take it. Spread it far and wide. Because I'm hearing that some readers don't know that their bookmarks are visible.

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

everyone keeps talking about men being radicalized etc etc but no one mentioning the elephant in the room that majority of white women voted for trump too

Fics that make the Batfamily an incestuous family and turn Wayne Manor/Batcave into a type of sex dungeon are disgusting

Was I the only bitch who just imagined the marauders boys as the queen band members when I was reading the book?

So as a little fanfic writer I sometimes run into a writing block. And something that's worked for me is to shift to writing a different fic for a little while. A special kind of fic I call "This will never see the light of day". Like how artists do warm up sketches, I like to use this fic to do warm up writing or break writing. It helps to get myself focused and in the mindset of writing a story. I can work out any awkward bumps and then it helps me focus more in the fic I'm working on.

For this warm-up fic I usually write something super self-indulgent (more so than usual anyway) or some sort of self-insert cringe fest and there's just something so fun about writing fic without the thought that someone else is going to see it. I feel less pressure when shifting to writing my "actual" fanfic that I'm working on.

The only danger is when the self-indulgent cringe fest starts to become so fun you forget to go back to the other fanfic lol
