A Story Should Entertain The Writer, Too.

“A story should entertain the writer, too.”

I'm sorry is it just me or are college squirrels way too freaking bold!?

101 Family Prompts

I see a bunch of OTP prompt lists floating around, which is cool and all, but not everyone writes stories focusing on couples, so I decided to make something different! Some of these can be used for couples if you really want to, but I had families in mind when writing them. Enjoy!

So like I made CW Flash oc and I want to write some imagines for her but like I have no ideas. So again I’d really appreciate is some of y’all would send in some ideas/request or just ask questions about my oc. It’d mean the world to me. Plus it lets me know what you like and what you don’t.

Write fanfiction guiltlessly. Do it not only because it’s good practice, not only because you don’t feel like putting your energy into original stuff, but because you do feel like putting your energy into fandom. Write fanfics of epic proportions or tiny one-shots; write fluff or angst or cliches or tropes; publish the roughest version or keep the twelfth draft for only yourself. Do it without feeling bad. You owe no one anything; the act of creation is a gift in and of itself, and it doesn’t matter if you’re creating fanfic or original stories or whatever else you want. All that matters is you enjoy it, because why else would you do it at the end of the day?
