As an aspiring writer who never posts my shit i shall also help our little friend.

1. NEVER add too many of , because those make your fics seem slow paced and annoying to read, especially to those with short attention spans. Using less of , makes your writing seem more confident and relaxed.

Example and how to spot where you need it;

Instead, consider changing how you write it. Is it necessary to use it?

Instead consider changing how you write it. Is it necessary to use it? This advice is better to speak outloud.

With the , you speak slower. It also happens with reading something in your head and makes you stop the reading in your mind, and as a person with short attention span that gets frustrating. (also i have noticed that fics with less , per chapter are more favored than those with more)

2. Allow others to comment and suggest shit, but never change a fucking thing unless you actually WANT it and see it as something YOU ARE NOT PRESSURED TO DO.

3. If you feel like you want to rewrite a fic, dont delete the old one. Use it as both a draft and the basis for the rewrite, and a way for you to see your improvements.

4. Write when you are NATURALLY inspired. This is the reason i hesitate over releasing my writings to the internet. My computer and phone are full of many WIPs, but most of them are more like long prompts i havent worked on in like... 5 years or more? I have tried forcing myself to do things that are similar to what originally inspired me to write those things, but i find my work severely lacking compared to when the mood strikes me, in both length and quality. I know the pain of having to wait for a new chapter to release, and the hell of seeing "discontinued" on a work i enjoy, and i swore to myself i would NEVER do it to anyone myself.

(i am a big fat liar. I have one work posted and i havent posted on it for two years, but i am in denial.)

5. Use the tags properly. I dont give a fuck if its an international event on the fucking platform, i better see the fucking correct tags on that post or i will fuck you up. If you tag it "english" it better fucking BE english. If its an event, USE the PROPER TAG for the event. (Example, MerMay 2022). If it is FANART, TAG IT AS FANART. Its an extreme trigger for me to see improperly tagged shit. If it lacks a tag that isnt THAT important im alright, such as "we die like (character)s fat ass". But if its something like the work is promised to be Pure Fluff but is ACTUALLY ONLY SMUT AND NO FLUFF i will PIKA-CHUU!!!! YOUR ASS SO HARD.
