Hi, ive just started writing fanfic for the first time, do you have any tips?

honestly, just writing what makes you happy because who gives a fuck what other people think! if YOU like it, that's all that matters.

also don't be afraid to experiment with sentence structure, etc! rules are made to be broken and i am a staunch believer that breaking grammar rules (intentionally...not just having bad grammar lol) adds so much character to your writing and really gives you your own voice and style. I do it all the time! i love me a good intentional run-on sentence, some comma splices (i am a slut for comma splices i cannot lie to you), some fragments, starting sentences with a conjunction. etc etc etc.

also if you're having trouble getting a feel for your Style or whatever, it's okay to take inspiration from the style of some authors you enjoy (that obviously does NOT mean to copy their work, but look at their sentence structure, at how they piece their puzzle together; my new current sentence structure experiment is based on the way one of my friends wrote a fic, and i'm loving it.)

oh i know people preach active over passive voice, but i am telling you now that passive voice can be used and it adds to your writing sometimes! ESPECIALLY if you're trying to set a more serious, sort of prose-like tone....passive voice my beloved. some of the craziest lines i've written are passive.

use adjectives but dont OVER use them--and if you are overusing them, make sure it's intentional. (intentionality is literally the main thing; if you do something intentionally, it's probably going to come across like that, and your readers are going to understand it the way you wanted them to)

similar to the passive vs. active debate...showing vs. telling. it's a bit tricky to find a good balance sometimes, but you'll learn. but also, it's not as black and white as a lot of people make it seem. "showing" the way i see most people use it is just excessive use of adjectives and verbs, while telling is simply stating something (which i don't necessarily agree with)

Im going to use an example from the fic i'm writing right now:

And so he goes to them, like a ship to a beacon of light, a sailor to a siren. He goes because he cannot possibly stay away for a moment longer, cannot bear to not have them in his arms. He lies beside her and she relaxes into him, and it is too much, this love. Too much for one man to feel, too much for him to hold back. It thrums through his veins, begging to be released.

I would argue that most, if not all of that paragraph is me telling, not showing. "he goes to them" "he goes because" "he lies" "it is too much" etc etc. i use metaphors and whatnot, but i'm telling nonetheless. (there's another good point, actually: most of this is me telling, but it's also active voice, so they balance each other)

anyway enough of my babbling about grammar lol. just have fun and write whatever makes you happy--and don't feel like it has to be perfect, or like you're obligated to churn out content, because you're not. one of my favorite fics of mine EVER has been rotting in google docs hell since christmas 2022; what matters is that EYE love her and am with her in spirit, not that she's done and produced and perfect.

#i feel as though i'm not a Good Person to give you advice #however you asked and this is what i got for ya #also you get better with practice!! #and writing isn't natural to everyone so dont feel bad if what you write isn't 'perfect' immediately #ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm #yeah #i would elaborate more on the showing not telling thing because it drives me up a fucking wall and all of the sentences they use to 'teach' #it are so fucking bad. #'john was mad' vs 'john stomped his foot' like bro that is for a 1st grader not for someone venturing into creative writing #i find that telling is what i do more of. it's just that i write sentences longer than 5 words long so it doesn't sound like dog shit #ANYWAY #taylor answers #ask tag #anon

if I want "totally average girl interacts with magical faeries that reflect the inner-self and has a romantic interest in a boy who also transforms into a cat boy and embarks on a quest of self-discovery" I hate that my only options are ML and Shugo Chara

#except iirc shugo chara ended with her getting together with the adrien-lookin character #so its not a 1-1 #my point still stands #also the whole incest thing is ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not great so ML gets a point #wait maybe not cause like if Fathom and Kagami are sentis and fathom considers sentis family then #holy shit #im having an epiphany
