I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.
You don't get better at things by avoiding the things. You have to do them.
if any of you lack whimsy let him ask of god

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I
Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.
now how about a functionally suicidal character saying "I will sell hot dogs for you"
Hotdog vender lays down their life to protect their suicidal partner, who then takes over the hotdog stand to carry on their memory...
every time y’all say “I want to fuck that old man” then point at a 30 year old you are introducing an invasive species into the fuckable old man ecosystem
we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you
Yeah, I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't inject as someone who comes from the opposite world, but: why do fanfiction revolve around ships? I'm just... I'm reading books for the story. I'm reading fanfiction for the story. I'm fully fine with skipping the sex scenes for the plot, why is there a base assumption that fics are inherently about ships?
I'm just a bit confused. And possibly on the aspec somewhere, which may or may not explain this considering the common claim that ace writers write great sex scenes.
Romance is the highest selling and most popular genre. Always has been and always will be. And I don't think it's because the genre includes erotica (although that helps). I think it's got a lot more to do with why horror is always close on its coat tails. Both genres lean towards first person/limited as they live and die by interiority. They often are written in present tense as well to increase a feeling of connection as well as immediacy in the reader.
Both also do really well for short stories or ongoing serialized work. So that's also a plus.
When people describe a style present tense writing in the first or limited 3rd derogatorily what do they call it? Pulp Fanfiction! Which is odd because none of that is unique to fanfiction at all. Those style choices are common in two of the most ubiquitous and popular genres in literature. Globally.
So, IMO, fanfiction is a subculture of writing that reflects broader trends in literature. The reason why romance feels so overwhelming in fanfiction spaces is because we don't sort fics by genre. It's hard enough to find what you want to read in a library or bookstore. Imagine then how impossible it would be if everything was trope tagged like it is on Ao3. I'd search "ice" and how many pages would I have to scroll through of "Ice Barbarians" before I found "The Left hand of Darkness"? I'd get the impression there isn't a lot of Science Fiction out there either.
But there is!
So much good fanfic in every genre, our filing system for it just has some issues.
EDIT: As an aside, authors please consider writing down what genre your story is even if- especially if- you don't think it fits neatly into one genre. You don't gotta tag it as that, it's just a good media literacy exercise. It will also help you if you ever you decide to query work in the future.
"this is unbecoming of me" is genuinely a useful thing to have in your mental toolbox
