Types of fanfic writers

You can find me on all my other social media!

Thanks so much for watching! :)

Best part is that "That Writer" can be seen as both a Smut Writer and an Angst Writer.

I'm the "I have ideas but I'm just too lazy to post my fanfiction" type of person

[SteviePorter]

'The lost poets' hits different. So many, so so soooo many, great fanfics never get finished. It burns every time...

[theofficialkermitdefrog]

As a fanfic writer I can confirm this is accurate

[cornonthejob]

I’m the “has a lot of lore but inconsistent writing ability”. Running five major plotlines at once while bouncing between two different works with a menagerie of different characters is fun but hard.

[angelzlife]

I'm the "I have ideas and form entire stories and AUs in my head, but I'm not a good writer and I'm scared people will judge what I post" type of person.

I honestly ask myself why are lost poets writing fan fiction when they could’ve gotten a writing degree

[flowerontoast]

This video was PURE true things. Also, the newbie thing… yeah, the not connecting sentences and badly written words are pretty stressing

[arizonasucculent]

My favorite writers are the ones who you can tell have read a lot. Their words are really high level, they describe things so well you can almost imagine it, and they know how to pull your heart strings. Unfortunately, they have one condition and its called "disappearing" 😭

[OwlKitto]

The "overexplainer" should be grouped together with the "THAT writer"
They practically work together like bread and butter!

It's so hard to understand when they have bad grammar, bad spelling, and such but the sad part is sometimes the story is actually good.

Something a lot of people don't know is that there's a very good reason for the poor spelling and grammar in fanfics, and it isn't just people being bad writers (at least a lot of the time). Almost all fanfics are written in English, and so there's a shocking amount of people who don't speak English, but will read or write in it using translators. You'd be surprised how many fanfic authors post in English, despite writing everything in their native language.

My only point is: don't be too harsh on people. You never know when a writer is a kid, has dyslexia or something similar, doesn't speak the language... there are lots of reasons a fanfic might have plenty of issues other than the writer just sucking.

How has this not blown up yet It's the most accurate thing to date.

[empress_eve]

I'm the type of writer "that was peer pressured to post my "good fics" online and not many people read them because the fandom is slowly dying" but I can relate to the other types as well.

[rainedans]

You forgot the "actually good writers who made fanfics in their free time" group

[FloweringFennec]

The lost poet on reminded me of a fanfic i used to read, it was really nice had a good plot was well written and stuff, sadly i came to find out that the author died before they could finish the fanfic, so i keep it as a memory of their work and i hope they rest in peace

Edit: thank you for the person that brought me back here, i had forgotten in which video i had posted this. Sadly it has been a long time since i read it like 3 years ago and i no longer use wattpad(where it was posted) and cant currently go look for it, but i still remember the plot if anyone is interested in going on a fanfic hunt

[Kb-kymk]

I am "the murdere" but also the "rewrites cannon" and "can't write smut or romance so writes vIoLeNcE" pretty fun 😅

[mayahawkesgf]

as a fanfic author i can confirm that this is accurate.

[kawaiicookie]

Im the lost writer skdjks
I always start fics really well, but end up losing motivation and never finishing them

[Frame_Late]

0:36 never have i been more offended by something I 100% agree with.
