By the way, fanfiction isn't the place for reviews or criticism.

When you're a published author, it's like you're preparing a meal in a food competition. You expect a rating and to be told what worked and what didn't to improve your craft and embark on your career.

When you're a fanfiction author, it's like taking some of your free time to enjoy the process of baking cookies and then offering them to someone to be kind.

If you take a cookie from the plate, you don't spit it out and tell them it sucked.

Unless the writer asks for your opinion, you can keep it to yourself.

Adding this to clarify, and you don't have to agree with this by any means, I cannot force you to, but the reason Ao3 and Fanfiction isn't the space for criticism and ratings...is that it is a fan space created by fans for fans.

It isn't school.

It is a space where people with the same interests can congregate and enjoy the same fandom.

When you think about commenting on an fanfic authors fics, don't think if it as fishing around in your pocket to give them a compliment.

Compliments are nice. Most everyone likes compliments.

"I like your character development."

"You paint wonderful imagry."

Those are comments that are compliments. Speaking for myself as a fanfic writer they're nice, but they're not what my fan heart craves.

I want engagement with my readers.

The best comments I get aren't talking about my skill as a writer, but what just happened in the story because you and I (the reader) are already fans of the world created.

Comments like:

"NOOOOOOOO!"

"Did she actually just do that?"

"EXCUSE me?!?!"

None of these comments are compliments and none are critical. They are emotionally aligned with the story. They are engaged and with this engagement we create a little community in this tiny little space we get to call ours.

I cannot stop people from saying cruel things, but I can inform those people of the "dangers" so to speak when people treat fandom spaces like Ao3 as if it's Goodreads.

Writers, who write for themselves and offer it to you out of kindness, can decide that if people are just going to spit out their cookies they don't need to post about them anymore and that is how fandom spaces die.

If you don't like the flavor of cookie they made, or you're allergic to one of its ingredients...don't eat the cookie. Put it back for someone else to enjoy and then go find the flavor you do like.

Honestly, with the amount of detail Lewis's suit has, you could say he's a bad liar. That man slept next to that suit for more than a month, for sure. 😭

Sinopsis: Franco quiere sorprender a Lewis por su primer aniversario, pero todo lo que puede salir mal saldrá mal y le termina recordando a su novio sin querer porqué se enamoró de él en primer lugar.

i really love writing on AO3 for ships that have few stories or aren't very well-known. my new muses now are lewis and charles. how is it possible they don't have 500 stories in their tag yet?

brocedes lore is crazy. what do you mean nico interviewed alain prost on his podcast. they talk, they laugh, and then, when nico is wrapping the discussion up, as if it's nothing, prost says he hopes nico and lewis can make amends. the world goes on for everyone but nico. he is half-dead on the battlefield, struck through the heart, vision curling around the edges.

he chokes down the shock. he manages to say--oh, yeah, i'd be open to that, casually, as if he isn't split in two, as if the wound is not still fresh. then he begs the wizened old champion to tell him how does someone make amends with their former rival. 'doesn't someone need to apologise first?' his voice caught between bone-deep anxiety and yearning, between the need to keep his composure and the desperate hope that maybe it isn't too late for him to reconcile with lewis.

Looking for a beta reader

I don't know how to start this, but it's really my first time trying to find people to read my stories and get feedback on it, since I started writing I always wanted one, because I like the idea of being able to understand another person's point of view about writing.

Lately I'm having a hard time proofreading the stories myself because I proofread them in my original language (Spanish) and then translate them into English (something that takes a lot of work and makes me wonder if the story is translating minimally to what I want to express after all) plus I'm wanting to write a lot more than a thousand words and develop my ideas a bit more now that I have free time before I start my classes. In the end it gets a bit confusing not having someone who can guide me in the translation and at the same time start to get more involved in the plot of my characters.

I understand superficially how Beta's work, however, since I am about to come into contact with this type of reader for the first time, I would like you to bear with me if you plan to interact with this post to find out more about what I wrote.

For now I'm focused on writing stories about Formula 1, you don't need to understand much about this sport if you are not a fan since I didn't touch too technical details during the stories. Anyway, it would add a lot of points to it if you are a fan. :)
