I still reference this post today. And yes, when I say I reference it I mean I sing it.

I’m not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but you literally do not have to be a good writer to write and post fan fiction. Yes you will naturally get better at writing and finding your voice the more you do it but you do not have to be or become a professional level writer to enjoy writing and sharing fics. It’s common to hear people praise fic writers by saying their work is better than published books, and while I think this comes from a good place, that’s not the norm or expectation. There is also a sentiment that fic writing is “good practice” for becoming a better writer or doing something else later, but if fic is the only creative writing you ever do that is literally okay. Your technical skill does not mean you cannot have fun and build community with your writing, or that other people cannot love and find meaning in your work.

Ask not for whom the gurdy hurds. It hurds for thee.

the point of fanfiction is to write something so self indulgent that nobody else has thought of it before or cares

take my hand 🫴 let's write self-indulgent fanfic together forever

most of writing is just looking up the definitions of words to make sure that they haven’t suddenly changed to something entirely different than what they’ve always meant
