Has writing fanfiction helped you guys with your English?
Has writing fanfiction helped you guys with your English? (question to non-native English speakers).
I’m writing my MA thesis about the impact of writing fanfiction on English skills and proficiency, as well as on several individual differences.
Could you take some time to fill out my questionnaire? I would be forever grateful <3 It's a bit long, but I wanted to conduct a comprehensive study.

Sometimes I stumble across a word I never use in my own writing and then I want to use it in a fanfic immediately. And also remember it so I can use it more often instead of always choosing the same boring words.
Does this only happen to me? Or is this common for other writers as well? I regularly hate my own writing after I've read someone else's fanfic because they've used so many nice words that are also part of my vocabulary and yet.... I can never remember them when I write.
(that's the problem when you'r never writing in your own language)
Creative writing for the first time in 6 years turns out to be trickier than I thought.
Apparently, it doesn't matter how much you read in English; your grasp of the English language is still going to feel very faint the moment you start hitting the keys on that keyboard trying to make fiction happen.
Rereading my WIP that I haven't touched in 7 years turns out to be another challenge. It seems that Chaos 7 years ago had another literary style than current Chaos. For one thing, she wrote the characters very, very introspective. And very awkwardly and confusedly kinky. Part of me wants to rewrite the entire thing before continuing, but that somehow feels like taking something from Chaos 7 years ago, so I'll settle for some light editing on obvious errors.
I still stand by the confusion and awkwardness, though.
And I'm currently on my third draft of the first chapter in over 7 years. I actually had to scrap the two previous drafts since the idea I had was too advanced for my current ability to use English grammar in a fictive text.
I think this is what we called Beginner's Mind in DBT...
I've been in fandom too long.
I just realised how incredibly strange it now feels to attempt fiction in my name language. Suddenly, my narrative voice does no longer speak my mother tongue.
