I’m not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but you literally do not have to be a good writer to write and post fan fiction. Yes you will naturally get better at writing and finding your voice the more you do it but you do not have to be or become a professional level writer to enjoy writing and sharing fics. It’s common to hear people praise fic writers by saying their work is better than published books, and while I think this comes from a good place, that’s not the norm or expectation. There is also a sentiment that fic writing is “good practice” for becoming a better writer or doing something else later, but if fic is the only creative writing you ever do that is literally okay. Your technical skill does not mean you cannot have fun and build community with your writing, or that other people cannot love and find meaning in your work.

Fanfiction is a hobby. You are not obliged to improve at a hobby. You are not obliged to monetise a hobby. You - the hobbiest - are not obliged to be on par with professionals.

Turn your back on the insidious whispers of the capitalism mindset and return to posting fics that make you happy and are tagged "srry if thsi is confusing its 3am n i'm high".

I always feel so cheated in stories when characters are walking around with this Big Guilt and then...you find out that the thing wasn't their fault at all. And not in a "they thought they did it but it turns out they were set up" way, or even a "accepting that just because they did A which caused B which caused C it doesn't mean C was their fault", way but where they finally lay out the sequence of events and it's clear that any thinking person would not connect them. Like, fucking commit!!! The character isn't LESS compelling if they actually did the thing! You can't have the haunted brooding meow meow who is...also completely blameless

im sure thats normal

[birdplushie]

suicidality is the best trait you can give to a character

[birdplushie]

second best is an unbreakable will to live in spite of it all. and bonus points if both apply to the same character at different points in time

the thing about stella is its like "why is she so stupid why does she keep putting herself in crazy dangerous situations and why is she ALWAYS FILMING" and then you get to episode 4 and its like she lost her parents at a relatively young age, has coped with none of that, her desire to find cryptids is half desire to find her parents ghosts and half suicidal ideation, and she has a huge grief-related gap in her memory that probably explains why she might trust a camera more than she trusts her own mind. and its like oh fuck the saddest girl in the world is a clickbait youtuber
