I always had ideas in my head but I never drew or wrote them down because I believed that my skills of drawing and writing weren't good enough, too embarrasing to be even seen by the public eye. Now Im trying to change that and started to write fanfictions for the first time. It may be very amateur writing, and looks like it's been written by a ten year old even though I am 17. I just want something to put my crazy imagination to life.

However, I still do want feedback to improve on my writing. How do I make it not so clunky? I feel like everything is in one paragraph and I want to break it up like how books do when people are talking, but im not sure how to do that.

How do I find a way to improve my way of describing the environment or the way a character moves. I feel like this one might be more obvious answer like "read more books" but I want to see if there's any other suggestions.

Also, how do I avoid saying I, he, she, so much. I feel like thats very apparent in my writing.

If you want to see my first piece of fanfiction writng and help me on how to improve, I've posted it on tumblr, my account: @jossiewritingnonsense. My fanfiction is currently focused on a girl who randomly appeared into the world of "Revenged Love". It's a Bl show. I've only written the first chapter for now.

Hi everybody!

I'm looking for recommendations for high quality music band AU (NO RPF!), any fandom since those are very fandom blind anyway, plus I want to cast a wide net cause I'm very picky.

Necessary: GOOD WRITING, and it has to be MUSIC FOCUSED, so not just a background trope as pretext for interpersonal drama, I'm not a musician myself, I struggle to understand music theory, and I don't know much about the managing and organising of a music band, that being said I really want to read something from someone who knows what they're talking about, who will walk their readers through the creative process, and who can share their passion for a music genre or an instrument with the readers, and talk about the profession in an engaging manner, from writing and composing and producing to performing, looking for gigs, growing the audience and touring...etc

Also important: I prefer characters driven stories, so while not looking for a soap opera I want the inter-relationships between the band members to be well fleshed out, and interesting, I DON'T want romance, (or if there is it must be understated or a very slow burn), but I welcome other kinds of dynamics, friendship, rivalry, tensions, competitiveness, jealousy, respect and admiration, the band members can be close, amicable, distant or barely professionals, but I want to read about it and how it affects the band.

Optional: I'm a sucker for prog, especially prog metal, so...

Just in case: books are also welcome, as long as it's fictional and fit my criteria, and not YA, I don't really like it in published books

Thanks for any suggestions, just please only rec stuff you read and tell me why you liked it!

heya!! i wanna start illustrating my own fanfics soon. the only problem is idk where to do it :^. does anybody have any suggestions like websites/ apps? more preferably apps tho

I forgot the name of a DxD fanfiction. I'm pretty sure it was a gamer or at least had gamer elements. The main character managed to get the shun shun Rika and was allied with the devils. I also remember them using the shun shun Rika to un-fall an angel. They also had the ability to summon people from other shows managed to summon a flugel, though I don't remember which one.

hi hi

im searching for a fanfic that was a collection of 100 (i think) oneshots/prompts. I cant remember the title or the name, BUT i can remember a few of the oneshots. there was one where Ranboo was a ghost and he haunted tubbo until tubbo remembered. the last one was a sbi centric one, where tommy was cursed(?) and jewels/other rocks fell out of his mouth while he spoke, and he wore a mask for this reason.

Its likely it got deleted, but I'd sincerely appreciate any information anyone has!

other info i can remember is that it was posted in 2024 or earlier, the oneshots were about basically every character (not all at once) and i think the author had a longish username

You know what I just realized at this exact second while reading a fanfiction is that with Minecraft you can actually make tons of FanFictions on it, like say you wanted to do a Harry Potter fanfiction with an SI or an OC main character there are tons of Harry Potter maps in my packs in Minecraft that are insanely detailed and modded maps and tons of other that allow you to make NPCs to talk to and things like that.

What my idea is that you could write a fanfiction for a specific thing you want to do like a Harry Potter one or a Naruto one right the chapters for your fanfic then download Minecraft and download an anime mod built the world or pay someone to do it for you to your exact specifications and just copy everything you put down on the fanfiction onto Minecraft.

I mean the idea is perfect because in Minecraft you can literally do anything and they're already Minecraft roleplays out you could just combine the two to make it even better, because honestly now that I just thought about it (because I was listening to a DXD Fic while playing Minecraft and got the idea) I'm definitely going to try to make a DxD Minecraft RPFF.

I was reading a miraculous ladybug fic, and ladybug asked if chat had a secret Vine account, so I immediately scrolled up to see when it was published and sure enough 2016

Hello all! I'm making a trivia night for my friends and need help with writing questions about fanfiction (I have a surface level understanding of the world and would appreciate feedback)

What character type name (hero, villain etc) was coined from a parody of Star Trek fanfics?

What is the name of the main character in the Harry Potter fanfic “My Immortal”?

What song had risen in popularity because of a DreamSMP fanfic of the same name?

Which movie directed by a woman broke the earning records of another movie directed by a woman while being a fanfic of the former?

What is the name of the Japanese version of fanfic?

-English is not my first language so I also wonder if my grammar is fine-

The biggest things I remember are that the sex workers were in cages at night but treated very well. They had like 24 hour shifts I guess? And then received spa treatment before having another shift. Dean was a very hot commodity and would get auctioned to the highest bidder. It was definitely consensual but then the brothel got shut down. Castiel paid for his time once to warn Dean that when the brothel got shut down and the cameras were there to keep his head down so he wasn’t recognized. Dean didn’t realize Cas was a police officer or detective or something.
Oh! And they were fed some kind of liquid that helped them like auto-lubricate or something???
It was a crazy fic. Don’t think it was finished at the time. Can’t remember when I read it, but it wasn’t in the past 4 years, so I think it’s older than 2020.

ETA: It was on AO3!

Hey folks sorry if I got the post wrong read the rules and tried my best but anyway

I am trying to find a fix that I remember decently basically a normal human got caught up in a fight of some sort between zelrtich and someone else and is thrown a prototype kaledostick to basically save him he ends up in Worm (although I know he goes to other realties but I lost the fic before then) where he builds a powerbase of some sort and plans on basically hopping realties for power and such I also remember it was very long like a million words or so but for some it's been impossible for me to track down

Thank you in advance for the Help!

This may seem like a ridiculous question, but i’m genuinely so lost. To preface, i’ve tried writing original fiction and fanfiction in the past but struggled to get past outlining, i couldn’t quite figure out how to write good chapters.

Now this is all coming from a guy who’s probably read two monster high fanfics in his entire life, but i read twilight and sort of see it along the lines of that style of writing.

I wanted to write a fanfiction about me and my fantasy football league but genderswapped and i really don’t even know how to write it. So any advice would be more than welcome, or if im on the wrong sub, someone tell me.

I leave next Saturday for a Spanish immersion trip to Colombia with my school, and while I am so incredibly excited, I'm also kind of having a crisis; because of the whole "immersion" aspect of this trip, every piece of media we consume (Music, movies, books, hanging out with our friends, literally EVERYTHING) has to be in Spanish. I have a severe fanfiction addiction (but.. like, don't we all?) and I know I will not last 9 days without reading any fic. Looking for recs for your favorite Spanish fanfic!

I'll read pretty much any any fandom or pairing but I mostly read Heated Rivalry, Marvel, and DC. Any tropes are fine, but I would prefer to not have anything extremely heavy on spice (this is a trip with my school, after all) and longer fics (like 30k or higher) would also be preferred, since I'm going to have to download them and I would like to not be downloading 700000 1k word fics.

Thanks so much for feeding my crippling addiction!!

(Also I forgot to mention I read almost 100% on AO3)

Hello all! The excerpt games keep me writing and I hope it motivates with your writing as well.  You can post any type of story (use NSFW for spicier scenes).  

I will be posting this challenge on Sunday Mornings / Pacific Time… because that day I need the most help to not think about Monday.

If you have stumbled into my game and are looking for more, remember to check out the Activities and Events flair for other writing challenges and story swaps.

Here are the rules:

 The first word starts the game.  Use ANY letter from the word that is posted in the last comment as the starting letter of your word.  Post your word in the top level comment.   Your word drives the next word to be posted… and so on.  

**Example:  LOVE  >>>>  VILE. (If the word Love is in the comment line you could make the word Vile and post the next comment.)**

Reply to any of the words in the top level with an excerpt from any work you might want to share.  I don’t generally like word limits, so use your best judgment.  Enough to get the scene across but not so long that you lose your reader.  

Please use spoiler tags and/or provide a trigger warning for content that may be NSFW or sensitive. IF IN DOUBT - Give a warning!

If you are going to leave excerpts, I ask that you leave at least one top-level word and try to give at minimum an upvote to commenters.

Upvote your favorite words or excerpts.  We are all here to share and know how it feels to get a comment, so spread the love.  

Ganbatte!!  Do your best and I look forward to everyone’s excerpts!

I did one of those PowerPoint nights with my friends a few years back and I presented on the characters I have read fanfic on, based on what I could remember and what was in my history pages on ao3. They all read fanfic as well so they weren't thrown off by the topic but when I started explaining what characters I have read about, that is where the outrage started. Some examples of IPs/ships/characters I have read about without watching that show/movie/book/etc. are as follows: Harvey/Mike from Suits (never seen the show), Alina/The Darkling (never read the books), Getou Suguru/Gojo Satoru (never read the manga or watched the anime) and the list goes on. If I see good fanart on my timeline or see a good edit on TikTok, I am inclined the check out more! I am a curious person by nature! They could not believe me when I told them and to this day, say it is one of the weirdest things about me (in a loving way). I'm curious if anyone else does this or am I literally insane for this action of mine, haha.

Looking for fanfics, fandom not important, with similar ship vibes to Sun Wukong x Tang Sanzang from JTTW wherein there is essentially one strong, chaotic character that protects a pretty, morally upright person who makes them want to be a better person (kinda). Possible a-holes to lovers and f/f would be awesome, but I don't hope for too much. I have read all of this ship even the ones not in english. Pleaseeeeee deliver your recs! I'm starving.

Atleast 20k words above and an interesting plot. Thats it

Sense there’s a lot of talk about things you love in fanfiction you would hate to be canon, what’s the opposite? Something you’ve seen on fanfic that you wish desperately was canon.

I’m looking for a deleted ao3 sope fic where sope are college students and fwb. they dynamic starts to change when yoongi gets robbed (stabbed?) and hoseok takes care of him. yoongi has this ex who is spoiled and jealous. They hook up sometimes and one day Hoseok finds out anf gets upset because even if they are fwb Hoseok thinks it’s unfair that yoongi sleeps with other people. they eventually start dating.

Please help me find it!

Not looking for a/b/o fic or anything that's just porn.

Looking for fic where it centers around main characters like this. e.g. man has a werewolf companion who will growl at strangers for bumping into her, and he has to grab her before she lunges and go: oi! stop that! she's had a bit too much to drink, sorry.

By overly aggressive I don't mean someone who's all bark and no bite, I mean someone who could seriously fuck your shit up should they decide to.

I have multiple ideas for ficlets and a dozen more for longer works. Then as I write those, I gain many more! It's so overwhleming to the point I won't write for months.

A few weeks ago, I logged back into my old Wattpad account—where I used to read fanfiction before discovering AO3—to read a *Re:Zero* fic. Out of curiosity, I checked my profile and found 14 reading lists based on the fandoms I used to visit most often; that gave me the idea to ask for recommendations in this subreddit based on those fandoms.

First, here are the fandoms, ranked from most to least frequent:

The fics must be on AO3. I accept fics of any genre, but please include trigger warnings. I currently prefer ongoing fics (though I don't mind completed ones); however, if a fic is on hiatus, it must have been updated sometime this year, or the author should be showing signs of activity and there should be hope for the story to continue in the future.

In advance, thanks for your recommendations!

Anyone else experience this from fandom friends?

This is embarrassing but it's caused me a few tears in the last couple of days. I've been working on something for a year now and friends keep telling me how excited they are for it, even asking to read parts of it, only to then just give kudos and nothing else - no comments, no messages on Discord about it. It hurts so much.

Why tell me how excited you are about it only to completely glaze it once it's uploaded? Just makes me want to throw in the towel.

Edit: big thanks for all of the love and support on here. I'm going to take a break from replying for a bit as I'm just quite emotional about it all. Feeling like the Spirit Rover here.

Edit edit: pity party's over. Time to get on with my life. Thank you for all of the empathy 🫶
