the most fun thing about being a fic author is when you know what’s supposed to happen but when you go to write it you realise that, for the event to be plausible, you need to add another 2k of development and establish like six extra things before you can even get to the scene you need to write, and by ‘most fun’ I mean fuck everything someone take this fucking story away from me I’m on strike
writing fanfic more like:
- have I used that word recently *ctrl + f* shit
- “are you still working on that fic?” last edited: 24th January 2005 “haha of course”
- that feeling when someone comments
- planning a fic down to the words you’ll use without anywhere to write it down and getting home and remembering none of it
- it’s just a fic no one will care about inaccuracies *spends four hours researching a 2000-word one-shot*
- grammar
- *sees word in advert* yes that’s a good word I’ll remember that word *never uses word*
- my last four fanfics are centred around this character and while it means their characterisation is perfect, people are yelling at me
- “oh you write? can you name a character after me” “ummm”
- is that a real word *red line appears* well why isn’t it
