Hi! I just saw your text post about wanting to write about past experiences through Keith or Lance and not know how to do so, and the ask u answered about example fics, and I just wanted to throw mine out there as an example. I recently did a self-projection fic where I channeled it thru Lance, and I know how you feel and the confusion on how to do it, so I hope it'll help? It's called "The Cracks In Your Mask" by Chyeahlex16. It's not a plug, hope it doesn't come across as one, I hope it helps!

This answer got really long so I posted it under the cut, do give it a read if you’re interested. I queued up the actual fic and it should be posted at about 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Happy Reading! :)

Hey there!

So it’s been more than a month since I received this message and it’s a shame that I didn’t get around to answering it anytime sooner. Before I get into the specifics about the fic itself, let me preface the context that warranted this message.During mid-November of 2017, there was an onslaught of sexual allegations that were being made against top Hollywood celebrities. Almost every single day, there was a new person who was being accused of sexual misconduct, sexual harassment, sexual abuse and rape. These crimes spanned decades and it wasn’t merely one voice that was speaking out about the wrongs committed against them; there were dozens.

Now, while I may not be a celebrity or anyone of great importance, I started feeling a bit anxious and claustrophobic. There had been something that I really wanted to get off my chest that I had kept hidden for a long time. And so I did. I told one of my closest friends as to what had happened to me as a child and he supported me the best way he could given our distance. But there was still something wrong. There was still something that I had to put to bed but I just didn’t know how.

So that day, on this blog, I asked for advice in regards to how I can cope with my personal feelings through the medium of fictitious narration. I got a lot of recommendations (some of which I still need to get around), and The Cracks In Your Mask was one of them.

This fic was everything I had needed at the time. Of course there are obvious differences in regards to the setting (it’s set in space and revolves around characters who fly around giant robot lions who have the ability to merge into a larger robot and save the galaxy from an alien tyrant); the plot (Lance slowly descends into a breakdown to the point all his secrets are laid before the team); and obviously the characters (Lance, Shiro, Keith etc.) But in other ways, it really clicked with me: the uncle, the family who never suspect anything, or having to come to terms that what happened was not my fault.At times I was taken aback by how connected I felt with Lance because I had never expected someone to just get how I was feeling. But then again, while Lance was a fictitious character, the author behind it is not. They are very much real and so are their experiences, their feelings, their struggles and accomplishments. So in a sense, I was connecting with the author and by proxy the fictional Lance.I guess what I’m trying to get at with this long ass answer is that there is a reason why people invest so much time in either reading or writing fiction. Yes, it’s all make believe. Yes, the concept, the characters and the struggles they go through are a part of someone’s imagination. But the seed for this imagination grew out of a real life experience. The idea and inspiration for these thoughts to be manifested in prose or poetry are derived from a very real and valid place.

So if you are thinking of using the medium of fiction to help cope with whatever it is you are feeling, then go right ahead because there is no one who can tell you otherwise. It’s not necessary that whatever you have written gets published for a wide audience. You can write it out and then delete it and no one would be wiser. You can publish it under an anonymous pseudonym and leave it at that. It can gain kudos and receive comments about how well it was written and you can choose not to respond because you don’t wish to get too personal. Or you can communicate with the world about how the subject material has affected you personally and how you have used this writing experience as a method of helping yourself heal. Of how you wish for the readers to find their moment of utter peace as well. You can do all this and more or none; it doesn’t matter because when it comes to writing you are in control. YOU get to choose the story you write, not anyone else.

I for one, am extremely thankful for not only the author but for the fic itself for it helped me a lot when I was going through a bad time. More than a month has passed and until today I have never looked back at that time of my life and felt any negative experience towards it. It was an awful event which occurred to me but I have made peace with it and now I can let it go. For anyone who has gone through a similar experience, I really do wish and hope that you get to a point in your life where you find your peace.

I will conclude this post by saying one last thank you to the author for recommending me this fic and for everyone who read until this far.

Thank you.
