To all those that think there is an age limit to fanfiction or you “have to be this” to write fanfiction — fuck off.

I hope this reaches every author on this site. If they haven’t written a word in years, only are writing in their head and haven’t put it down yet, are hip deep in their own War and Peace wordcount fic. 

Tallahassee spent so much time worried about eating a Twinkie, he neglected the perfectly good twink right next to him. Stop shooting up general stores for a hostess cake and shoot up Columbus' intestines. That's not the only cream filled cake he should be eating.

Best trick I ever picked up. Seriously.

This is seriously the best advice, and it really helps put it into perspective that the first draft is just that- a draft. There’s no reason to agonize over a particularly tricky bit of writing when you could just leave it in brackets and skip to the good parts, the parts you’ve visualized. I also use brackets for [fact-check this], [use a stronger verb], [is this in character?] and other notes as I write, just so I don’t forget what I want to work on when I go back and edit.
