I’ll Leave My Ribcage Open (part one) | chris evans

Word Count: 1866 Synopsis: Three months after Y/N and Chris call it quits, they meet again at a friend’s engagement party. A/N: I’m super stoked for this series, it’ll probably be 4 or 5 parts. Enjoy.

You’d been avoiding the highlighted circle at the top of your phone for months now. The circle of Chris’ face, surrounded by a colour you really only wanted to be green… but you knew that would never be the case. At least, not anymore. After eight months together, you and Chris had called it quits—or rather, Chris had sighed and said nothing more to you than, “seems like we both want different things, Y/N,” stood up and left the room after a heated argument that had started over which bowl was good use for the fruit. The argument escalated quickly, with mentions of suffocation and moving in hurting your feelings, and then mentions of engagements and pregnancies scaring you off. Wine had never been a good mix for either of you, and usually you stuck to a cider and Chris to a beer, but when his mother opened the bottle in celebration for something that seems so long ago and out of reach now, you couldn’t help yourself.

So now, you sit with your phone in your hand, staring at that purple circle. Knowing whatever he posted, it was for everyone, and not just you. You thought that maybe if you looked hard enough, you’d get some telepathic message about what it was, because the truth was you didn’t want to open it and see. What if he’d moved on? What if it was a eulogy of some sort for someone? What if it was just a post about his business? Either way, you couldn’t face it.

There's actually something kind of beautiful that happens when a piece of media screws its fans over. After the grief and the anger and the resignation, you tend to see the fandom rise up and say, "okay these characters are ours now." I hate the circumstances that led us here, but I wouldn't be surprised if we get some of the most amazing fan works out of this situation

Sometimes, the urge to write a fic doesn't come from the genuine need to write something, but from wanting to read it. And, unfortunately, no one has written this specific thing you want.

Your Readers Don't Know

                So recently I shared the first 30 pages of my WIP with my writing mentor, and she had some pretty brutal feedback. It was too slow, you didn’t get to know the characters very well, and she said my worst nightmare “it was hard to get into, and I didn’t want to keep going.”

                Oof.

                My first reaction was to think, well that’s because it’s only the first 30 pages. If she only read a little bit more the characters really start to shine in the next bit—and that question she had about the world is answered just a few pages later.

                Then I realized I was missing the point. It didn’t matter if I had the most amazing story after page 30 that would have brought her to tears. Because she would never know—she wouldn’t have read past the point that I lost her.

                That was the moment I realized I needed to completely rewrite my first 30 pages. The point was—the reader doesn’t know when it’ll get good. They don’t know that your characters are amazing once you get past a certain point, because in all likelihood, they won’t suffer through to get to that point.

                It has to be solid from page one all the way through to the end. Most books and authors don’t have the liberty to retain readers through anything less.

                We’re going to be talking about the advice she gave me a bit more in the next few posts, so watch out for that :-)

Hey fanfiction writers: If no one's ever told you this before, it's not just fanfiction.

It's something you spent hours, days, maybe even months on, pouring your heart out onto a page because you were so full of passion and thoughts about a story or characters, you felt like you were going to explode if you didn't get it out. Maybe you lost sleep because your mind was racing with ideas or you forgot to eat or drink water because you were so focused. Maybe your back aches from being hunched over for so long, unmoving. Maybe you even felt like you were going a little feral because you were so excited about what you were creating, or were frustrated when you got stuck. Either way, you put your heart, mind, soul, and body into making something.

It's okay to want people to read it, and it's okay if you're disappointed that they don't or it doesn't get as much of a reaction as you were hoping for. Humans are social creatures. Sure, we write for ourselves, but we also share because the joy of doing so is just as powerful as the joy of the process. Of having created something.

We all experience that joy and that disappointment, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

So it's okay. It's not just fanfiction.
