Any Fanfiction Writers/Readers?

Post Reply New Topic

I read the description from Amazon and I don't know whether it's the same as it was a short reading.
Back to our conversation, I noticed the word imagery, and that the author is connecting things as patterns, supposedly autistic, but not restricted to AS. It might be of interest.
Are there other books about autism you read and would like to share?
As for fanfics, do you think there are existing autistic characters unsuspected by the great public, or not even designed as autistic by authors/creators? Who may be autistic themselves, aware of it or not?

Fluke. I'll wait then. I read an article/blog online, watched videos, about women with AS.

Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock could be.
From the books, I don't think so, but I read them a while ago.
Not much really. I thought after watching The Closer that Brenda Johnson may be a good example of a brilliant - not cliche - aspie woman.
Unlike several here I think neither Mulder or Scully are on the spectrum, just saying...

Women aspie

I don't know if you read that, it's not long. It helped me put perspective, distance from tools and charts and focus more on the individual/traits more widely and patterns - as opposed to strict assessments.

You are welcome, glad it helped.

Despite almost all the fanfictions are crap, I think some are correct and need to be known. I want to write about some of the fandom, because that helps a lot to understand how to write.

(Sorry for the mistakes. I am a french speaker. You can correct me if you want.)

I definitely agree with both statements. What fandoms do you read? Could you give any recs (recommendations) if we're part of the same one(s)?

I read about a lot of fandoms, but as I said, it's difficult to find some great ones. Almost 95 % of the fanfictions are crap. Or more.

I read the great stories from any fandom than I find. I read mostly Pokémon, Hunter X Hunter and Digimon stories, but I want to write my ones. I dislike the mostly commun stories, and you see, you need patience to find ones which are good. I don't have a lot of experiences in writing, but I know a lot of the caracteristic of bad ones. You see, the great stories are rare outside of fanfictions. So inside of fanfictions, that's difficult. On fanfiction.net, you find mostly the bad ones and you need to search sometimes outside of this website.

You're right about that. Commun stories? Ones with more than one author? If so, I've never read one of those, though I've seen a few. I'm on Fanfiction.net but only because it's easier to find and filter main characters. Ao3 doesn't have anything like that aside from searching by way of the tags and that takes a very long time and is often fruitless. I'm not on any other sites, unfortunately.

So sorry for the abominably late reply — life, what can ya do? (This is the same reason I haven't written anything postable in years, hope to change that soon.)

Hi, newbie here. I've been writing Labyrinth fanfics for almost ten years now (yikes!) and been reading for about thirteen, although not as often anymore (sort of staving off the burnout.) I'm Shadowlurker on ff.net, AO3, and 13hours.com. Actually, I'm working on my first crossover right now - just two chapters to go - with Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber series, and...well... things have been going a little odd lately. Maybe this post should go in one of the other 'writing issues' topics but I guess I'll try it here first. I just had a fight to the death between two secondary characters and it feels like one little part of me is torturing another little part of me and I just can't make the emotion resolve - I know it's not real, but it doesn't change how I feel and it's making me a little nutty. I tend to have a hard time separating myself out from my characters mentally and emotionally sometimes just due to how I create them - they don't do anything in my mind unless I act and emote for them, it seems like. They just don't come across as having any depth at all otherwise. Anybody else in this boat? I truly am scared of the idea of having to go to some random counselor out here who has no background in Aspergers (there are not good resources like that where I am). That and...I honestly don't know how to create otherwise; even they do manage the separation, I really think that would be it. Thoughts and advice definitely welcome. Hi.

It makes me feel a little better just to hear you describe what the writing process is like for yourself - pretty similar here most of the time. Sometimes I even find myself picking up physical mannerisms from a character I've been working on too much recently. I would definitely be up for chatting (heads up, though - I don't smartphone so I'm not online all the time, usually just once a day unless otherwise scheduled. No Wifi on purpose.) I'm still finding my way around in here; what other sections would you think would get answers for a query like this? Thanks!

Glad I could help.

I think that could be linked to the fact that we're women with Aspergers; we, apparently, mimic others to fit in better. I did a bit of that at school.

That's totally fine

Maybe, aside from this section, you could try: viewforum.php?f=35

I used to write Digimon fan-fiction when I was much younger [with ideas mainly 'borrowed' from Digimon Frontier].
