Me who has 57 fics on ao3: I NEED THIS

[Scottthespy]

Some of my best characters were made after I wrote down a 'personal fic', one I didn't intend to show to anyone, then looked back on it and asked 'what would I need to change to make me willing to share this?'. I feel like the 'just write stuff down' and 'have fun' aspects are easier when you're only writing for *you*, and editing something is easier than editing nothing. For perfectionists who are too worried what people will think, starting with something that's just pure self-indulgence can get you past the 'its not good enough' concerns and get something written down to start with.

One of my biggest problems is that I'm a people-pleaser. I love what I write, but after I finish a chapter, I get so self-conscious that I want to rewrite the whole thing to please others despite the nice comments I get. :(

omg this came on my home page and you give really good advice for beginners! i've been writing fanfic for 4 years now and have amassed almost 200k reads on my latest fic so far. i personally never thought about people seeking out this sort of content because i began writing fanfic to prove that i could write better fics/explore a niche that the fics i was reading couldn't develop well.

outlining is super important for any kind of writing (fanfic included), so i would suggest new and experienced writers start by identifying the conflict of their story/protagonist and its resolution. this can work for ppl who want to build in-depth outlines (ahem me plotting out my next fic chapter-by-chapter) and ppl who prefer free-writing!

hope this wasn't too info-dumpy; i study creative writing in university (i fell in love with it through writing fanfic and i'm diversifying my work at the moment) so i've learned a lot about writing this past year.

have a great day :) thanks for supporting new writers w/ this content

I just published the first chapter of my first fic! Thank you!

[Moxalotl]

Thank you for this. I have a lot of fanfic ideas for years but I’ve been to scared to post them. I think I might make one this year

[murdergse]

This showed up right when I was considering writing my first fic, youtube knows me too well XD Thanks a lot for the tips, I'm gonna stay around for longer after that video 😌

[Crxwned_Thxrnes]

I've written fics before, though with barely any traction I eventually lose interest and discontinue them. Your advice is things I know already but your Vibe is VIBING, love the feels <3

I am in the middle of writing an Epic with draft chapters on AO3 right now, and your amazing voice is giving me motivation to get off my bum and complete my unfinished chapter that's been in the drafts for literally 3 months. Thanks for the awesome vibes! You gained a new sub!

this video came up on my home page, and I immediately knew it was a sign! i've had an idea about a fanfic for a month now and am just too lazy (and kinda too busy) to start writing it. definitely going to do it tonight. thank you <3

[eliasblake]

[windaanggia]

Could you give us a video on cultivating an audience, please? Thank you.

[fifty_thousand_dollars]

Whoa, this video felt so professionally made and was really helpful! Thank u

[anthony_janthony]

Literally saw this when I was procrastinating editing my first chapter. I reckon I'll get back to it 🔥

[flowerfoxified]

This showed up on my recommended. Never seen a guide for fanfiction specifically before, so I didn't know what to expect.

Pleasantly surprised to see such solid, grounded advice. Very concise, too. Granted, I knew all of this before watching, but going to keep this in mind if I ever find someone who wants to get into writing fanfiction.

You just got one more subscriber.

[reallygoodcreativename]

Thank you so much for making this! I always tend to get discouraged when writing and this gave me motivation!

[Redhoops]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS GOING INSANE WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO (its 3am btw)

[Sakii_]

I have a question, I’m starting my first Fanfic on Wattpad ( I will also upload on AO3 ) [maybe tumbler too but I’m not sure],
I’m in high school and i get busy with school work, what would you recommend for balancing school and writing?
ALSO Thank you SO SO MUCH !! ❤️ this video is really helpful!!
