Fanfiction Readers and Writers

Post Reply New Topic

Oh, I see you are being harrassed in the reviews of your work by the same troll who keeps asking me under so maaaaany different nicknames recently if I would want to have the art collaboration with her PAID art collaboration. Don't pay attention to her - she insists every time it's not her.

I will post my "Lost" fic when I get its chapters back - corrected - from my betas. It's a very, very unusual fic with a veeeery unusual pairing (the Man in Black and Claire)

^FFN seems to be completely over-run by fake artist spambots at the moment.

Unfortunately I must get on with writing more chapters of my multi chapter "Lost" story, as well as my other - this time one shot stories from the same fandom. I have many cool ideas for fics about the Man in Black and Claire Littleton. And the family they started on the island. Now I'm getting on with writing this

My brain being what it is, beyond the long Homestuck fic I'm working on I have ideas for not one, not two, not three but four other long Homestuck fics. Have to tell myself to save them for later, as it's doubtful I'll even finish one before this round of Obsession Roulette ends.

I also have several ideas for the whole "Lost" fanfic series

I'm now writing my "Lost" story as of this very moment. It is going to be a multi chapter ROMANCE fic - something I don't like to write (both in terms of length as well as when it comes to the genre) - but I think when I'm done with it, another multi chapter fic from this fandom is going to appear on my profile - I only need to get my long chapters back from my betas, as I'm not a native speaker. I posted recently on my profile several Polish translations of my fics originally written in English - to get more readers.

I will post soon also my Pokemon fic - when it's corrected by my beta, together with those five chapters of my "Lost" fic

I actually managed to post weekly for 12 weeks running, but I've come to the end of the stuff I wrote in an early burst of enthusiasm. Those were all tiny chapters. The bit I'm on now is more complicated and each chapter needs to be longer to work properly. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!

I don't like actually multi chapter fics when it comes to my own ones, so far I have written just one such a fic, it's a Peter Pan one and even this was in 2009

P.S. I have an idea for a "Lost" fic, in which the island is not a magical, mystic place but the actual explanation of all those paranoral phenomena happening there, is very simple - a spaceship crashed in there and all those so called "paranoramal" things can be actually explained by science, pure and simple. I have also an idea for the Man in Black's daughter who can warp reality fic - but also with the scientific explanation of what she does to do this I think I'll start writing this very fic tomorrow - the one on Amatia, the daughter of the Man in Black aka Samuel and the island itself

I've personally read too much fanfiction. And it's not exactly voluntary or conscious...
It started during my worst years, burnt out from highschool after consuming more (canon) stories and "wanting more".

Not as a skill to cultivate to aspire to nor because anyone likes it, but as a really massive distraction.


I'm not actually into any fandoms.
My head just happened to choose this medium as a coping outlet.

I can be into visual arts, known certain facts of characters and events, the stories...

But actually a fan? Identifying myself liking fiction? No.
Never aspired to read and write to such extent. I hate words.

No favorites, no crushes, no OTPs, no real opinions, etc.
They're all equal to me; doesn't matter what prompt, what situation, if it's crack or something disturbing. If it's just under 50 words or a million.
Doesn't matter. My head just like to consume to know.

... Surely, there's something I can get out of 20+ years of maladaptive daydreaming and 15+ years of disruptive fiction addiction?

While I overcame said maladaptive behaviors...
.. It didn't help me improve my reading skills or listening skills or my language skills overall. It's just mindless consumption and self triggering as a way to avoid the nuisance that is my emotionality.


Like, well, like being more professional about it?
The potential for me to tap into a niche markets if I acquire the skills?

And yet with no biases over shipping, headcanons, etc. while getting enough nuance over what fandoms think?


Sorry if this isn't in the vibe of being a fan in any fandom.

I do not regret my worst years.
But surely I can get something out of this? And coming from a more stable and voluntary states, too.
