I wrote several fanfics and I'm currently writing my own book. I'm against AI and it hurts me when people use it to write their books. Like, I mean... Don't. Just DON'T. It doesn't give you any benefits AT ALL.

But, though I don't accept it, I know why people are doing this with books.

BUT. WHY. FANFICTION?

You don't get money from it. Only thing you get is your own pride of yourself and some nice words from other fans. So why???

Fics are fundamentaly controdictions with AI. They grow from love and passion, they connect people. Most of fanfiction authors have zero or very small experience, but who cares? They always can improve and if you don't want to read their works, you just don't. AI don't have a passion, it doesn't feel. It don't know those characters. You can tell it about them, but it doesn't pass the test (lol sorry. I have this kind of parallel in my native language. Not sure if something like this exists in English).

What do you think about this? Can somone explain?

Now I'll just cut to the chase, if you want to submit a challenge for my SMG4 fanfic, type it down below and I might include it with credit. But seriously, please I'll take anything I only have one challenge submitted so far.

Chapter 8 is out now!

Thank ya'll for the hits and kudos!

Mutual Assured Vulnerability

Hello! I recently rewrote my first fanfic and am excited to share it! It’s called Finding My (Supernatural) Family. It’s a Twilight fanfic.

It’s a found family adoption-ish fanfic. It’s a OC reincarnation fanfic. It focuses more on family more than mates. If that’s your thing, then please check it out!

Thanks and I hope you enjoy it!

My favorite is 1st person, but I get nervous because maybe the audience might disagree with their characterization from hearing their inner monologue. Or just dislike 1st and prefer 3rd. I never really use 2nd person because it fits more of the y/n setting in fanfics and I don’t write to that. 3rd person just feels a bit disconnected to me; i honestly don’t think I’ve stepped out of 1st at any point in my story and it has to do with it being the beginning of the story. Right now I’m trying to show characters mental processes and behaviors.

But even then I use the characters voice to describe whatever’s going on instead of 3rd person. Whether it be setting or revealing an objective truth in the story I just use other characters to do it. For example, a royal character is insane and their 1st person POV is filled with delusions that don’t fit reality. So to show that I use a servants POV to reveal the truth instead of an omnipresent voice.

If you have a preference as a reader or writer why is it your preference? And if you like 1st as well, do you like being the voice in a certain characters head like I do? I think doing it makes me more interesting in my own story…lol

Hello everybody! I just posted chapter 3 of "If Tomorrow Finds Us" on Wattpat (I will be posting it on Ao3 as well once i got my Code) and I am already working on chapter 4, since honestly, i'm having SO much fun. I feel like my 12 year old self, writing fanfics about my shaylas. Anyway, what i had in mind for chapter 4, so you'll get a little taste, was:

- Jean avoiding Marco. He chooses different places to sit, finds excuses to leave conversations, yada yada. Bro is not as subtle as he think though.

-Marco noticing. Let's just say, Marco is a people pleaser and won't say anything at first, but it DOES hurt.

-A fresh cadet-training scene. Jean's gotta confront the fact that avoiding Marco isn't as easy as he thinks..

-A little tension between them. Because, we love that.

-A small but meaningful change. Jean doesn't understand his feelings yet. He does however have to decide whether he's willing to risk hurting Marco just because he doesn't understand himself.

Stay tuned!

So the first two are two variants, one has the enforcer helmet on and the other doesn’t, the third one is a completed fanfic I finished a couple of days ago on Wattpad.

Here’s the link to the completed story I’ve done down below 👇

Welcome to a new: What Are You Writing This Week? weekly thread!

This thread serves as a community check-in. What are you working on? What are your goals? What fandoms or genres are you writing for? What is inspiring you to meet those goals?

This thread also serves as a way to share our stories with eachother, while holding ourself accountable for at least one small weekly goal. Maybe your goal is to design a characters backstory or finish that one scene--either way, making a goal at the beginning of the week can be an awesome way to track your progress by week's end.

So, what is everyone working on this week?

Drop your updates below:

• What fandoms are currently occupying your brain?
• What fic/project are you focused on right now?
• Any weekly writing goals?
• Current progress update? (feel free to post a link!)
• What scene/chapter are you most excited about?
• What part of your story is currently fighting you?
• Have you posted or finished anything recently?
• Any new ideas sneaking into your drafts and derailing your plans?

Remember: 10% progress is always better than 0% progress.

Happy writing!

A while ago I started writing a Half Life fanfic, a 98 game that was part of my childhood, and to write it I preferred to give it a tone of terror and that they tell it in the first person.

Hi Everyone!! I started writing my first story about 8 months ago and kinda just never kept going. Im thinking about picking it back up but wanted some feedback before i do so.

This is just the very beginning, and it is not even a full chapter. Just looking for tips for writing style and clarity etc.

The risk of being aware

Thank you guys!!

I’m very happy with how this turned out!!

Do you ever just want to read fanfiction where its just an all out slug fest featuring your favorite character?

Me too.

That's why I wanted to get some opinions on it. I use to write these types of stories in my youth, thinking about how cool it is for these character to fight each other.

While I have other suggestions for some other fights, like Apocalypse vs. Doomsday or Xenomorphs fight Godzilla, these are what I could come up at the spur of the moment. I might write them all or use a few stories but let's see where things go!

Hello authors of Reddit, I am Bluejay and this is my first time posting on this app. I feel like there are different types of people on here with different perspectives that can help me with my writing. I am a fanfiction writer and I want to make writing a career in the future. I feel like this is my best work. This is also the biggest work I've done so far. I know it's really not much (which is fucking pathetic because I only have 4 chapters done) and it might be mediocre, but please be honest and upfront with me, I'm trying to do better here. I know I'm very far from being the greatest writer in the world.

In honor of spooky season, here's a direct continuation I wrote of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," revealing Ichabod Crane's fate after being chased by the Headless Horseman, and a new twist on the infamous ghost's motives.
