I am not sure if everyone is screaming the sky is falling and nothing is going to happen, but fuck it… here’s everywhere you can find me if this website actually dies. I’m also hearthouses on discord, if you want to chat with me directly.
my niche version of “he would not fucking say that” is “he would not fucking carry that baby to term” for mpreg headcanons. sometimes there is power in recognizing that a fictional man WOULD get a mabortion
Is tagging a fic writer's blog on a fic rec list disrespectful if you've never interacted with them?
I am not sure why I am being asked this, but I don’t think disrespectful is the word I would use. Simply put, you don’t have to have spoken to the author directly to rec them, but it would be kind to have commented on the fics being recced so the author knows you like them.
There are only 2 rules when it comes to writing fanfics:
Write whatever you want.
Have fun doing it.
That’s literally it. There is no “show and don’t tell”. There is no “make it realistic”. There is no “fit in with the trends”. And of course, there is no “write as fast as possible to keep up engagement and please others”.
No.
Most fanfiction writers are not professional writers. This isn’t a job, we’re literally writing for shits and giggles. We don’t have a team of editors behind us to make our story perfect. Fanfiction isn’t about creating the most perfect plot with the most perfect prose and the most perfect pacing.
Fanfiction writing is for you first. To make your heart happy. Other people just get the benefit to also enjoy it if they wish.
That’s it.
Write whatever makes you happy, with whatever writing style you want, whenever you want.
