what tips would you have for those trying to get into fanfic writing?
honestly i am not the best person to ask lmao i ended up here on accident 😭 for me the process was like. be a college student -> covid senior year -> be home w parents for winter break -> be stuck in childhood bedroom -> start losing mind -> decide to rewrite a book series from the love interest's pov -> finish that -> decide to do it again -> this time a bunch of people actually read it + suddenly ur talking to people + reading fanfic etc -> get sucked into fandom -> become plagued by fic ideas -> write
so like. honestly social isolation and random chance were the biggest factors 4 me...but also all of that was undergirded by being somebody who already had always enjoyed creative writing + had posted writing on the internet before, just had never really gotten into fanfic or fandoms.
i guess my most serious advice would be just. don't prioritize getting attention/having an audience. write for fun, write whatever you want, don't worry too much about who's gonna read it or what they might think. i don't really see a point to writing fanfiction if u aren't first and foremost having fun, so just like....don't try to force anything, i guess? if ur just getting into creative writing + want to use fanfic as like a playground 2 explore then i'd say don't put any pressure on urself to like....churn out huge massive multi-ch stories. i think it's easy to get burnt out if u think of writing as something that "isn't worth it" unless ur like writing novels or whatever, which seems to be a perception that many people have. if ur trying to like plan out really long stories and finding urself frustrated then just...start somewhere else! write little oneshots or microfics or drabbles or whatever + don't pressure urself to produce a specific type of "content," bc that's not what fanfic is about. at the end of the day we're all just kids in a sanbox + it doesn't matter if u wanna make mud pies or sandcastles or just dig holes, bc it's literally all just sand so u should do whatever's most fun for u. otherwise why r u sitting in a sandbox yknow
