Lately, I’ve been writing to people as those characters.

Bakugou Katsuki. Levi Ackerman. Stiles Stilinski. Dean Winchester...

Letters that sound like someone who cares. “I see you, I care. I want you to feel better.” It’s fantasy, yes, but it's also therapeutic in a way. Sometimes we need to hear those things from someone else, even if in the voice of someone who isn't 'real'.

And it’s been affirming for them, for me. I am blessed for the opportunity to touch so many lives. I’ve watched these words motivate others to shift, to get out of bed, to care for themselves, to reach out for help. Even something as small as brushing your teeth? It matters when no one else seems to care.

This kind of thing saves peoples' lives. Isn't that crazy? A simple letter from a fictional character? It’s comfort, yes, but it's more than that. I'd argue it's an anchor. It's what some people come back to, again, and again, when there's nothing else.

And if that brings them enough joy to keep trying, then I will never stop.

So if you need a little saving... then,

you know where to find me.

Hey friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful day so far. Fanfiction isn’t just storytelling; it’s love for the characters, worlds, and fandoms we all hold dear. Whether you’re writing your first one-shot or working on a multi-chapter epic, here are some tips to make your fanfic even better <3

💡 1. Stay True to the Characters

Their canon gives you the blueprint, but your job is to bring the characters to life in new situations. Ask yourself:

How would they react to this scenario?

What’s going on emotionally that wasn’t explored in canon? You can add depth or explore alternate versions of them, but keeping their core personality intact makes your story feel authentic and lifelike.

✍️ 2. Play With Tropes

Fanfic is a space to have fun, so lean into the tropes we all love! From slow burn to enemies-to-lovers, from hurt/comfort to time travel AUs—write the kind of story you want to read.

🖤 3. Balance Canon and Creativity

Canon is the foundation, but fanfic shines when you expand on it. Fill in the gaps, write missing scenes, or twist the story into an alternate universe. The best fanfics respect the source material while boldly reimagining it.

📖 4. Use the Fandom’s Language

Fan communities thrive on shared knowledge. Using terms, references, or memes specific to the fandom can help readers connect with your story. Just make sure it enhances the story and doesn’t feel random.

💡 5. Use Tags Like a Pro

Good tags help readers find your work. Include:

Pairings or relationships (e.g., #Destiel, #Reylo)

Tropes (#SlowBurn, #EnemiesToLovers)
