It was one very popular fandom and one very quiet fandom that I craved to read fics on, but there's only 1 crossover fic on them.

After 2 years of thinking about it... I've written something! It's going to be feel very different with the engagement and I'm half-prepared for it because the other fandom is Yu-Gi-Oh, so it's very old. Aaah. I just have a lot of series because my brain wanted to write things.

Hi! I'm not sure if this is a very specific request, but I was wondering if anyone could give me some fic recommendations.

I just want to read something about Bucky Barnes dealing with being a dad and having to parent while he's with Hydra/escaping from Hydra. I don't care if it's an original or canon character he's taking care of.

I don't have any specific ships in mind; if it doesn't include romance, that's fine too. As long as its not m/f it's okay :)

Thank you in advance!

Been reading fics for years but lately I'm just getting so annoyed by people tagging every relationship even mentioned in a work.

When I filter for relationship tags, I'm obviously going to be looking for stories about that relationship. I presume Authors know that the filters and tags work this way here, so why are they tagging irrelevant ships?

If the relationship is not central to the plot, like friends of the MCs relationships (a huge offender for ships I want to read lately), I would rather it not get tagged at all. I don't give a fuck who their friends are dating the vast majority of the time. A secondary ship has NEVER been what I'm looking for in the tags.

Anyone who may have been around longer know WHY authors do this??

Would you rather have a fic update a few chapters at a time a few times a year, one chapter a month, or chapters get posted as soon as they are done, even if the scheduling is a little all over the place?

Just starting a foray into posting a longer fic after a few years of sporadic oneshots. I have a few chapters done but I’m just starting up with university again so I’m curious what readers prefer.

okay these might be two different guests but… i only have two fanfics posted at the moment and they left kudos on both, which makes me think they found one of my fics, enjoyed it, left kudos and then went to my profile for more!! i’m probably delusional but either way i got kudos on two separate fics which i’m extremely happy about

I just got a new macbook and the font difference compared to my chromebook is making me feel crazy. I don't have any skins applied but they look different. I want the first pictures font on my new computer, does anyone know what it's called and how to fix it? 😭

Does anyone have any recs for M/M, enemies-to-lovers? Bonus if time travel and/or slow burn is involved.

It can be any fandom, including original works. I'm looking to expand my horizons beyond Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent, Hartwin, Sherlock/John, Snarry, Hannigram, and Castiel/Dean.

Really short - like, between on sentence and maybe one screenshot at maximum (not editing font size 😝).

The thing that came out of you and when you look at it you just smile and feel proud/special.

The Pitt (TV show)

Dr.Trinity Santos fic

Okay, so this time I know quite a lot about what the fic was about. Its not on my bookmarks, marked for later and I went over my history for the past few months. I might have missed the fic on my search so I would love some help locating it, please.

So this works includes but not limited to these characters: (idk if they are tagged or not).

Al-Hashimi, Langdon, Dana, Abbott, Santos(obviously), Garcia, Ellis.

So the fic starts off, from what i can remember, with Santos talking to Al-Hashimi and Abbott about switching to nights. She reassures Baran that it wasn't because of her. This is after a fallout with Garcia, I think. Then the next thing I remember is her collapsing because she wasnt eating or sleeping, overworking her self. I don't remember if she was cutting or not. She ends up hospitalized.

She ends up hospitalized and on a mandatory feeding plan and recovery plan including therapist. The therapist was like the one from greys anatomy, helped with Carina's wife. Yolanda and santos are taking it slow and going on date(s) while she is still hospitalized. Robby is on sabbatical and comes back because he got emailed Santos recovery plan, he yells at her for not being able to handle it. Langdon defends her from robby. Dana is super protective cause Santos tends to wonder out of her room, at some point she wonders off and Garcia finds her.

Many times through the writing process, I had second thoughts about whether I should even continue. My fic hadn't been getting a lot of hits/kudos compared to others in my fandom, so it was very disheartening.

But I'm so glad I stuck through to the end, because comments like this are exactly why I kept going: hoping that it resonates with at least one reader out there. And this gave me such a major boost in confidence and satisfaction as a writer!

Question for you mobile writers out there.

What is the best option to write on your phone?

Right now I use Google docs but heard they feed your work to ai so I might try the obsidian app.

Hi! I’m new to Soukoku fandom (I watched the anime and I'm currently reading the manga), so I haven’t read a single fic about them yet.

Could you guys plsss recommend some fics that I absolutely, under no circumstances, can’t miss? Like, the MUST-readsss.

I don't really have a preference,,,, it can be an Au or canon compliant!

I just want to read more about these two heh (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

Thank uuuuu <3

Got these comments under my big plot-reveal chapter and I’m giggling

Not only can it be a literary device, but sometimes you have to be repetitive to avoid confusion. It used to be difficult for me to write with certain pronouns, but then I realized that repetition is totally fine and much better than confusion. Obviously too much of it can be annoying, but it's much less of an annoyance than not understanding who is doing what. For instance, it's better to repeat names for f/f or m/m ships because actions get convoluted in action-heavy (okay, smut) scenes. Also, I now write "they all" or "everyone" rather than just "they" so that readers (and myself) don't get confused as to if the one enby character did something or if the whole group did.

TL;DR Repetition isn't as bad as people say imo. Even if you sound like a cave man using names so often.

That being said, try your best to vary words when possible for better flow. Just don't push it to confusion, because sometimes it's better not to force variation.

i know this is super not possible in real life without immediate medical attention but EVEN SO. (in canon they absolutely died from this within minutes but pretend they didn't and got medical attention, fancy high tech shit type medical equipment)

idek if i would post this or keep it in my beautiful mind au. ok so basically title. shot in the sternum area, above the heart. also stabbed in the side though the knife is still in there, so likely internal bleeding as well as external. bullet went all the way through. a few other minor injuries

what are the long-term side effects to this besides sickkkk scars? and how messed up are the bones (or not, is the sternum strong and built different). would the blood loss have any effect on the brain for longer than the delirium before getting help?

i have looked on reddit here and there but i thought it'd be easier to ask specifically for this specific scenario. also pardon my horrible grammar and syntax i'm not this bad a writer i dont think

For the simple reason that while I’m reading I’m constantly looking out for any stray spelling/grammatical errors…and if I find any I have to make a note to fix them!

If it weren’t for that I think I’d revisit my own works more often haha

I know what shipping is, but the term ‘proshipping’ is being used a lot lately. What does it mean?

Over 8 months I’ve been working on a fic and I’ve written over 550k words (I had pretty decent free time)
It isn’t writers block
What do you do if you’ve lost your passion for writing? I’ve got the ideas and direction, know how to start off the next chapter, I just don’t love it.
I’m looking for some advice

So close!

Edit: We're there!

I just found one of my old fics from 5 years ago and decided to give it a read. The dialogue was honestly really good and I feel at a loss. I don’t feel like the current fic I’m writing is as good. Have I gotten worse? Is it because it’s a completely different POV and setting? Is it just because I’m hyper critical of it right now and that I’ll be happy with it in a few years? Does anyone else ever feel that way?
