hey. hey hey hey. you. fanfic writer. you need to kill the critic in your head right now immediately. your fanfic does not involve too much focus on an oc. your characterization is fine. whether you chose to write first person or 3rd person you chose what was best for your story. never ever start second guessing your fanfic based on imaginary critics and the memes you see making fun of things you ended up doing in your fic (first person/oc focus/formatting) it will kill your drive for your fic slowly and insidiously. kill the concept of your work being marketable; your fanfic does not need to be marketable; your fanfic will never be marketable. mute and delete anyone who leaves shitty comments or bookmark blurbs on your work. if you finish writing a chapter at night wait until the next morning to edit and post it. I love you. remember to skim over your work in ao3's rich text box to make sure strikethroughs and horizontal lines are where you want them to go and there's no extra space between italicized words and periods. I love you. "no archive warnings apply" means none of the listed content warnings apply to your work; "creator chose not to use archive warnings" means you're not sure if they apply or not or you want to avoid spoilers by not specifying which warning applies and you should use this at your own discretion and for the love of god don't use the first one when you mean this one. I love you. "&" means friendship/parental/platonic and "/" means romantic. I love you I love you I love you

Fanfic writers are like crows. If you give them treats (comments) they will bring you shiny things (fanfic)

me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has

me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier

I long to kill the writers block fairy

there’s absolutely nothing better than writing 10k word in a single sitting, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived, your finger are cramping, your shoulders screaming and you haven't used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago

Fanfic reader's prayer: may my favorite author's hyperfixation on this fandom last longer than mine 🙏

Me when I finally finish writing the next chapter in a story:

writers whenever they’re starting a new fic: I have these ✨ vibes ✨ now I’ll have to build an entire plot and write an entire fic about those vibes

my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone
