#fanfiction writers

Me every time I start a new WIP:

you’re scrolling

your wips are gathering dust, abandoned

and you’re scrolling

teamcapwasrightandishouldsayit:

This happens so much to me omg.

I am so sorry I have the right scene in my head and it’s beautiful, I swear! But every time I think I’ve done it the document is blank…. I’m sorry

Ah! That glorious moment when you have been working on something for a week and when you read it back you’re just like NOPE and hit the delete button.

Guess I’ll try again.

Friendly reminder that fan-made content (fanart, fanfic, fanvids, etc) are:

• extremely time consuming. Remember someone actually took time out of their life to create that, time they could’ve used to, idk, sleep, for example
• entertainment you’re consuming for free. I can’t stress this enough: you’re enjoying someone else’s craft for free. You paid exactly zero money to look at/read/watch it.
• S H A R E D  with you, not made for you. This is the most important point: someone created that, put it online and you found it. No one forced you to consume that fanwork, you C H O S E  to do it. 

Whenever you feel like leaving a mean comment, anonymous hate or make a ~clever post about how ‘lol look at all of these overused tropes every fic writer crams into their fics’ remember you’re being a dick to someone who shared their work with you. You’re not being funny, you’re not being edgy, you’re not being brave for calling something out - you’re being a dick.

S H A R E D  with you, not made for you.

Read that again.

Also tags.

Me: Okay, I’m gonna knuckle down and finish this fic!

Me, 20 minutes into writing: *gets bored and starts writing a different fic* okay I’m definitely gonna finish this one!

*the cycle continues*

massive shout out to everyone who writes fanfic for classic novels. i’m talkin that good good public-domain required reading. it’s a tough act to follow and with next to no eyeballs on the results but by god yall are out there scratching those inexplicable and dare i say unspeakable itches. gods bless
