Hello, I love the work you and Chrome do and was wondering if you have any advice for aspiring fanfic writers? I want to write an AU lemon where Vincent is gagged and forced to watch Sebastian fuck a blindfolded Ciel begging his “daddy” for more but I’m nervous that it won’t be good.
Chrome and I remind each other constantly that we are primarily writing for ourselves. We write what we want to see, about subjects and themes that we enjoy, and if other people happen to like it and support it, then that is just a bonus. You know the phrase, “Do what you love and the money will come?” It’s kind of like that. You can’t let yourself get bogged down looking for kudos and comments, because sometimes, it just doesn’t happen. But no matter what, you have to keep writing whatever makes you happy. That’s the only way you will learn and get better. If you’re forcing it, or tying to write for someone other than yourself about something you don’t particularly like, it will show in your writing, and you won’t be happy! So run with your idea about Ciel begging for “daddy” while Vincent is forced to sit back and watch it. Don’t worry about if it’s “good.” Write with confidence, write with purpose. Eventually, you will find someone who loves the same things you do, and they will support you, and share it with their friends, and they will support you too. And you won’t even be worrying about whether or not it is good, because all that matters is if it’s good enough for you!
