Hello! 

The good news is that with fanfic, there are pretty much no rules. You can write whatever you want. One-shots, drabbles, or a 300k fic. Someone will read it. A plot isn’t always necessary. Sometimes people just wanna read about their fav characters snuggling on the couch or making pancakes. Some people just wanna read smut. No plot necessary. 

If it’s subject matter you need, i.e. a fandom, look at stuff you like. Books, movies, tv shows, etc. and go from there. If you don’t wanna write something in a specific time period, make it an AU. The world is your oyster!

If you are wanting to include plot, my best advice would be to outline your fic or at least create a timeline of events so you know where you’re going with it.

As to not being used to writing prose on your own, you could collab with a writer friend to ease yourself in if that would help! Or just start by writing short stuff before you decide to crank out a super long multi-chapter fic. 

I’ve even seen (and enjoyed) fanfic that wasn’t in a traditional prose format. It was presented as the chat log of a group chat between characters and it was cool in an of itself. 

TL;DR: Fanfic has no rules. Do what you wanna do! 

Hope this was helpful!

angel: what makes you feel loved?

People willingly spending time with me at like. telling me reasons they appreciate me and why I’m valuable. Quality time with people, mostly!!

heavenly: name your three memories that you cherish the most.

oh man this is hard. I can’t pick a top three so this is just going to be three random ones that I love.

1) One random summer afternoon when I was lying with my laptop on Rebecca’s bed and she was lying with her laptop on the comfy chair and we were just chilling together (I think reading fanfiction) in her calm quiet house with the road and bird noises outside the window and the sun making the room all warm through the curtains and her cat was curled up on the floor by our cups of Kool Aid.

2) When we were in California for a couple of days on business, my Dad went out of his way to drive like four hours into the “countryside” (Idk what to call it I’m sorry haha) so we could drive past Tesla and Apple and I could see what that part of the country looks like because I’d never seen terrain like that and it was so DIFFERENT from home. We came back around and took the long way to drive across all the San Francisco bridges RIGHT at sunset, just the two of us with music playing and me reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix out loud while he drove. I hardly ever get Dad to myself anymore and that was really really special.

3) Every time one of my nephews or nieces has fallen asleep on me while a baby or toddler. There’s nothing more humbling than that kind of trust, especially from the really nervous ones who tend to cling to mommy and daddy. Even when they got super heavy as dead weight I was so honored I love them SO MUCH ALL THE TIME

heart: if you’re sad or upset how would you like someone take care of you?

Ok hopefully this isn’t weird or anything idk but beyond the usual sympathy-and-empathy-will-always-help-anyone, there are a lot of times where I’m just so tired of always taking care of myself for so many years I just wish someone would step in and do it for me for once and reassure me that things are going to end up working out okay and just kind of direct me to do things that’ll make me feel better so I don’t have to scrounge up energy to tell myself to do them. But generally just caring and trying to make me feel better in the little ways!

Thank you so much for the questions!!!

nah let’s ship him with the manipulative fuck who used the line “what if thomas was SOMEHOW SAVED–” /and then didn’t tell him abt that for real until it suited his agenda/

I LOVE SILVER I JUST… HHHH…

Aw gosh, thank you friend, that means a lot to me <3
