When I Come Across A Fic With A Long, Lowercase Title (perhaps With Parentheses) Thats Over 20k Words

when i come across a fic with a long, lowercase title (perhaps with parentheses) that’s over 20k words and only one chapter

Do you have any tips for writing fanfiction, or just writing in general?

Do the thing

Do not try to be perfect

Remember that every doc is editable - and so is every fic you post on AO3/FFN

If something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to cut it - even if it’s your favourite thing

Take any and all writing advice with a grain of salt

Anyone else have some advice to share?

me: that’s it i’m definitely going to get some writing done today

something distracting that isn’t writing:

I’m writing my novel in fifth person, so every sentence starts with “I heard from this guy who told somebody...”

*passionately thinks about story instead of writing it*

I don’t want to write this extremely specific fanfic of which I am the primary audience, I just want to read it.
