This is dumb and vulnerable and I may regret asking and delete, but here goes anyway: fic writers, how do you deal with the heartbreak of having a project you were very excited about absolutely flopping? I had a bunch more planned & written. I can’t bring myself to open the doc
people r so spoiled about fanworks nowadays like did everyone forget fanartists and writers are under no obligation to draw stuff for you to look at let alone do it for free and yet you will have people demanding you to draw x and y in the replies or why didnt you draw z

everyone talks about the struggle to choose a tittle for your fic but nobody talks about the NIGHTMARE that is finding out WHAT THE HELL you put as your summary
My fic writing hot take is that everyone is asking the wrong question when it comes to characterization. "Would he say that?" is only part of it. What you really should be asking is, "What would happen to make him say that?" There lies the real joy of writing fanfiction
20. recently i have been listening to music while i write! which is new... usually i can't focus on writing and music concomitantly but i DO listen to a lot of music throughout my day to get myself inspired to write later on or to have ideas regarding the plot
6. most of the time i just write locked up in my room lol i moved recently so now my desk is facing the window so i get to stare at the mountains and the beach whenever im having a block... sometimes i write on the commute or at campus too but it's rare!
11. i think it's "fingers crossed"... i don't really know... I'm only halfway through writing it yet but i had to go deep into reddit to search for some things and it's the most immersed i have been in a fic in a while
1. for a long time it used to be "kiss me, set my soul alight" cuz its the most poetic i have ever written but i have come to love "the sweet taste of you" equally now... i love both of these so much
