I really want to try and start writing some fan fiction. I really like writing but always struggle coming up with characters so fanfiction seems perfect for me to practice writing without having to stress on the characters. (And what characters do I know better than those of the 100?). Any advice?

Hey there, Anon! Sure, I’m happy to share what I’ve learned from my own fic writing experience, hopefully something here will be helpful to you!

I started writing fic very recently in the wake of the s4 finale. It’s been a creative outlet for me, and a way to emotionally cope with the hiatus as well as stress in my real life. I used to write a lot more (poetry and original stories mostly), then I had a few years in a terrible professional situation, and I gave up writing altogether.  I was putting myself last for about 3 years before I realized that was not sustainable and I had to sort out my priorities. Long story short, I switched jobs, started making more time for myself, and picked up writing fic as a form of self care.

I was on the fringes of t100 fandom for a while before I “officially” joined after the last season wrapped up. I didn’t read much fic until that point either, though I’d read a little here and there in other fandoms. I tend not to read much fic when I’m writing a lot, both because I don’t have time for it and because I want to preserve my own voice. I’m always happy to recommend other authors though! Check my #fic rec tag for lots of good stuff :)

When it comes to inspiration, if I get stuck (esp on a multi chap) I find it super helpful to switch gears and write something else entirely. Ask your followers for fic prompts, there are lots of great lists out there to choose from! Give yourself a time limit (say: an hour) to write ~1000 words, and see what you come up with. You might be surprised what you’re able to accomplish when you switch mental tracks, and often that allows your subconscious to get over the hurdle you were stuck on with your WIP.

Push yourself, but not too hard. Critique your work, but not during the writing process itself. If you’re stuck on something that can be fixed during editing (word choice, sentence structure, etc), make a note and move on so you don’t lose momentum. When it comes to editing, try to read your own work out loud, particularly dialogue. It’s a great way to make sure things flow naturally, and I always catch repetitive word use during this stage as well.

If you’re getting extremely frustrated at any point, take a step back. Ask a friend to beta for you, skip forward to another scene, or take a break from writing altogether. Don’t put too much value in the stats (hits, reblogs, comments), especially at first. Don’t be afraid to promote your own work, either! Self reblog, schedule, and queue your own work strategically to ensure your followers in any time zone have a chance to see your posts. Submit to @bellarkefanfiction when they have flash contests, its a great way to get exposure and challenge yourself.

Fanfiction is, at the end of the day, a form of fun and escapism. There are so many awesome writers involved in the 100 fandom, and a great diversity of content, but there’s always room for more! There can never be too much smut, fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, etc. Not everything you write will be someone’s cup of tea, but if you’re enjoying yourself and benefiting from the process that’s enough to keep going for a while, in my book.

Which brings me to my last bit of advice: write what you want. There are certain tropes and AUs that I love, and others that I just don’t, but I write for myself, not anyone else. You gotta do you. Sometimes you might be writing for a niche audience, sometimes you may strike a chord that resonates with a larger portion of the fandom. As long as you’re doing what you love, it’s a win.

Those are all the tips I have off the top of my head! I’m not a professional writer by any means, but these are things that have helped me stay productive and satisfied with my own output. I hope something here will be useful for you! Good luck, welcome to the club, and happy writing :)
