Football RPF Survey - Writing

This section features the responses to the Writing football fanfiction section of the survey. It follows the Demographics and Reading sections. The first question had 202 responders, while the rest of the section had 102 responders, though the number of responses we received for each question varied since many questions were not mandatory.

We also just wanted to reaffirm that the report is split up in chunks because of its length. In compiling it, we have summarized the responses as we received them for each question, and in some cases reflected on our methodology. However, we have deliberately attempted to present these summaries free from our endorsement and judgment (as best as we can!), and reserved our personal thoughts to the section conclusions, where relevant, in addition to the final part of the overall report to be posted in a few days.

Do you write football fanfiction?

Participants were almost equally divided between those who write fic (102 responders, 50.5%) and those who did not (100 responders, 49.5%). This result may be skewed towards representing more writers proportionally in our survey than there are in football fandom as a whole because of how the survey circulated among our friends and followers, who share our interests as readers and writers, and the way we framed the survey as developing out of of a discussion on Julija’s blog about fic and fandom participation. (But we’re still so excited by just how many writers and readers took the time to respond! We love you.)

Why or why not?

People who do write said that it offers them a creative outlet and that they felt like writing fic allowed them to just write without getting preoccupied about character dynamics (as those were already established). Several people mentioned that they started writing because there were no fics of their OTP and they wanted to fill the void. They also mentioned writing to inspire other people into writing their OTP.

People who don’t write mostly mentioned feeling self-conscious of their English or thought they weren’t creative enough to write. Some mentioned that they don’t really publish stories, because they either don’t finish them or don’t feel like they’ll be appreciated at all.

Is the football fandom the first fandom you wrote fic for?

Of the 102 people surveyed that answered yes, they have written football fic, a majority (74 responses, 72.5%) said that this was not the first fandom they have written for. The remaining 28 responders (27.5%) said that this is the first fandom they wrote fic for.

What is the primary language in which you write fic?

Most say that their primary writing language is English, but there also German, Chinese, Spanish, French and Russian.

In what other languages do you write fic, if any?

People also write in Finnish, Swedish, German, Indonesian and Portuguese.

Approximately how many words of fic did you write last year?

99 responders told us how many words of fic they wrote last year (3 abstained). The categories were based on classifications used for the Nebula Awards, which are included next to each category below:

Short Story: Less than 7,500 words -16 responses (16.2%)

Novelette: 7,500 to 15,000 words -19 (19.2%)

Novella: 15,000 to 40,000 words - 28 (28.3%)

Novel: 40,000 to 75,000 words - 12 (12.1%)

Novel: 75,000 to 100,000 words - 8 (8.1%)

Novel: 100,000 to 150,000 words - 9 (9.1%)

Novel: More than 150,000 words - 7 (7.1%)

For more context and perspective, here are some word counts from famous books to give you a better idea of the novel lengths we’re talking about:

Harry Potter Books Philosopher’s Stone – 77,325 Chamber of Secrets – 84,799 Prisoner of Azkaban – 106,821 Goblet of Fire – 190,858 Order of the Phoenix – 257,154 Half Blood Prince – 169,441 Deathly Hallows – 198,227

Lord of the Rings The Hobbit – 95,022 The Fellowship of the Ring– 187,790 The Two Towers – 143,436 The Return of the King – 134,462

Where do you post your fic? Check all that apply.

A large majority of the 97 survey participants who responded to this question said that they post their fic to AO3 (81, 83.5%). The next most popular platform was Tumblr (35, 36.1%). Some of those who responded ‘Other’ said that they didn’t post their fics publicly, while others cited the website fanfiktion.de.

How do you feel about the quantity feedback you receive for your fics?

When asked to rate their feelings about the quantity of feedback received for their fics in football fandom, 92 writers responded that they felt:

Very unsatisfied - 2 (2.2%)

Unsatisfied - 27 (29.3%)

Ambivalent, neither satisfied nor unsatisfied - 33 (35.9%)

Satisfied - 23 (25%)

Very satisfied - 7 (7.6%)

How do you feel about the quality of feedback you receive for your fics?

When asked to rate their feelings about the quality of feedback received for their fics in football fandom, 89 writers responded that they felt:

Very unsatisfied - 0 (0%)

Unsatisfied - 9 (10.1%)

Ambivalent, neither satisfied nor unsatisfied - 23 (25.8%)

Satisfied - 38 (42.7%)

Very satisfied - 19 (21.3%)

Based on the previous questions, describe why you feel that way about the feedback you receive.

The responses to this question really vary and seem diametrically opposed in some ways.

A few people mentioned that while they got a relatively small amount of feedback in terms of kudos and comments, they were very happy and grateful for the comments they did receive, because they felt like they were more detailed and insightful than what they’d had in previous fandoms.

Several reported that the ratio of hits to kudos frequently felt discouraging. Some found the number of people commenting was very low. Someone mentioned that their long fic had more people subscribed than it had comments, and that this made them feel really awful. People also mentioned finding demands for updates instead of encouragement really discouraging. Someone mentioned seeing instances where a work that's only 400 words long with the same players they write about get the same of not more amount of kudos for a work they wrote that's much longer and with much more effort (or what they feel is effortful), and how discouraging that felt.

Someone mentioned that they occasionally find people who enjoyed their fic but haven't left any comments, which irks them, because it feels like they're not on the same page. They said that fics don't appear out of nowhere and if you want them, it'd probably be good to leave a thanks.

A lot of people mentioned that they would like more comments with constructive criticism in them, so they could improve as writers.

Several people said that they wrote and published mostly for themselves and a close group of friends, and didn’t feel like they needed feedback, though they appreciate it.

Several authors seem resigned to getting a low amount of comments for writing niche or rare pairings.

What are the biggest problems you face when writing fic? Check all that apply.

Many writers said that two of the biggest problems they faced when writing fic were finishing an idea or a fic (81 responders, 80.2%) and lack of time (75, 74.3%). Of the 101 responses to this question, writers also faced these common obstacles to finishing their fic:

Prompts, or coming up with ideas - 27 (26.7%)

Lack of feedback - 38 (37.6%)

Lack of encouragement or support during the writing process - 25 (24.8%)

Language (if not writing in their first language) - 15 (14.9%)

Grammar - 13 (12.9%)

Loss of interest - 30 (29.7%)

Some responders emphasized the lack of time being their major stumbling block. Additional problems that were cited included: mental health; self-motivation or dealing with distractions; a lack of feedback and/or beta readers before publishing; and getting stuck in the research or editing processes.

How do you think writing in the football fandom compares to writing for other fandoms?

A few people mentioned that considering the size of the fandom, the readers are very receptive and make an effort to comment. Most notably, authors comment on other authors' fics, which they’ve rarely seen in other fandoms. A lot of people also mentioned that the people in the football fandom were very nice, a lot nicer than elsewhere.

Someone also mentioned that, because it’s a RPF fandom, there’s always this very real fear of it being uncovered by the people involved, and the authors being sued or humiliated somehow. They also felt that there's an extra level of social pariah-ness when it comes to RPF fandoms and that people who have been writing shameless slash fic in other fandoms for years were still appalled that anyone would write or ship real people. And add that to "mainstream" football fans being predominantly homophobic sexist white men, who really want to make fun of women for literally anything when it comes to engaging with football and you definitely have to be a lot more careful about football writing than other fandoms.

What do you think would improve your experience in fandom as an author?

The overwhelming consensus here was that fandom would be helped by more feedback, in the shape of comments. Several people mentioned getting discouraged by the lack of comments, and feeling like they’re putting their writing into a void.

Another common answer was that people really wanted more ficathons or writing challenges, because things like that would help to keep them motivated.

There was also requests for a closer writing community, somewhere where writers could talk amongst themselves about fic and meta, and where beta readers could be found. Just somewhere that your idea could be supported and validated, because support during the writing stage is important. Someone also mentioned that it would be useful to have a different place to promote works, like on ao3, on tumblr, a community and on rec lists.

A few people mentioned that a timeline or an information community should be established, to allow for easier research and fact checking for authors.

Someone mentioned that they would like the tagging system on AO3 to split men's and women's football RPF, or to have a better tagging system between clubs and national teams.

Someone also felt like it might help if there were more fic recs of other people's fandoms, especially by popular blogs/writers to bring more exposure to the smaller ships, for example through rarepair events, author spotlights (placing focus on the authors and their beautiful writing rather than just the ship) - basically having specific targeted support for fics with few followers. And less tribalism in fic, where people would be more willing to read fics that aren’t from their team, but have beautiful writing.

Conclusion

I feel like we consistently fail to impress upon the reader how much comments and support means to most authors (I recognize that there are authors who find this sort of thing anxiety inducing, and I’d never want to exclude them - if an author asks for you not to give them feedback, don’t do it). But a large majority of us, writing in this fandom, are becoming really discouraged by the lack of visibility our fic gets and I feel like at least a little bit of it comes from readers who have become used to getting things for free.

I don’t think people who don’t write realize how much time and commitment goes into it, and I wouldn’t expect them to think about that when they read. But I know for myself that lack of feedback has driven me out of fandoms before, and I’m feel that if this goes on as it is, this might happen to more people.

I think in light of this, it might not be unusual that people are noticing that a lot of the best comments come from other authors - we know how much it means. We could keep on trying to tell our readers how discouraged we are (and we should), but I’m wondering if it’s really the best way to go about things? We can’t control what they do and a lot of people who read fic don’t really have tumblr accounts, so they won’t see us talking about it.

We can only control ourselves. And after a few conversations I’ve had this month, I’m convinced that improving conditions in our writing community and making it stronger, could do a lot more in helping us produce more and better works than relying on feedback from readers.

To do this, we should make up a list of football RPF writers on tumblr with their ao3 account linked next to them, so that at least that way we know who’s RPF safe in a way. We’re also trying to figure out a solid beta reader system, where hopefully everyone could find someone to cheer them on or at least correct their grammar. Another thing that would help is having more ficathons and exchanges, and looking through the fics gathered in the end and commenting on them.

Another thing that was mentioned as a problem was the lack of idea and prompts, and to solve this, we’re planning to launch a monthly prompt community that will hopefully encourage this.

But the biggest problem mentioned is the lack of support and feedback during the writing process. For this, I think, us writers need to do a bit of promotion for ourselves.

The first thing you can do is to link your tumblr/twitter to your ao3 profile, as well as in the bottom notes of your fic. Tumblr is good for fandom content, but if you have an active twitter accounts, in my experience, that’s better for building up interpersonal relationships.

Choose a time where your dash is more active and describe a fic premise you’re thinking about. Getting positive encouragement from someone will help keep you on track. If you want, blog about your fic writing process. It’ll keep you accountable and people will hopefully respond to it with enthusiasm. If you have a blog that you might not want to put RPF on because you’re afraid of backlash, make a writing blog and tell people about it.

Basically, don’t hold your fic ideas inside.

Several people mentioned missing some sort of timeline for research and info about clubs and players. I think having a primer centered community would be helpful for that? If anyone is interested in running something like that, send me an ask or a message and maybe we can work something out.

To the people, who mentioned they wanted more constructive criticism: in my experience in fandom as it is right now, people won’t give you unsolicited critique, because there’s a silent rule that this is considered to be rude. If you want constructive criticism on your work, please specify this in the notes of your fic.

We should also be encouraging more people to get ao3 accounts, because that would allow for writers to feel comfortable posting locked content and they won’t be worried about a fallout in kudos or comments.

I don’t think that we can get the male and female football tags split up, but it’s definitely possible to tag the club you’re writing about in the ‘additional tags’ box, which is something I’ve been trying to do recently. That way it would be easier for readers of a specific club to find all the pairings of it.

We have more plans on how to fix this, which we’ll describe more in depth in our last post of this report. Join us again tomorrow, on the @footballmetrics blog, for the Final thoughts football fanfiction section. As ever, feel free to leave your comments in the reblogs or contact us via the askbox.

How to Do the New LSAT Writing Section

This week, we’re focusing on the June 2019 LSAT, making predictions and giving you a last week study plan to follow before test day.

But one thing that you may have — and, frankly, should have — neglected in your studies up to this point is the writing sample portion of the LSAT. But we at Most Strongly Supported wish to leave no stone left unturned and no LSAT section left unexplained. So let’s take a quick moment to discuss the writing sample.

It’s especially important that we address this section, because the June test brings major changes to the writing sample. For one, LSAC rebranded the section as, simply, “LSAT Writing.” It’s no longer is just a sample of your writing skills — it’s your writing, in all of its glory or ignominy. Second — and much more importantly — you will no longer be doing this section on test day or at your test center. Instead of having to spend thirty-five extra minutes in a sweaty classroom wracked with all the nervous energy and desperation that only a few dozens-worth of anxious pre-law types can provide, you get to go home early and, on a later date, do the writing section from the comfort of your home. Also, instead of having to actually handwrite out the essay like some dang Luddite peasant, you get to type it out on a laptop or desktop computer, using exam software that LSAC will provide.

So with these changes to the writing sample in mind, here are step-by-step instructions on how to best conquer the new LSAT writing section.

1. Make a Shrine

It’ll be much nicer to do the LSAT writing section at your home. But, since it’s your space, you can gussy it up to make it even more conducive to writing section success. Your LSAT writing should be short and to-the-point, so why not make a shrine of writers famed for their brevity and concision? A makeshift sanctum featuring the faces of Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, Stevie Smith, Herman Hesse, Haruki Murakami, and Rupi Kaur should bring the right writing section vibes.

2. Clear the Space

If LSAC is going to let you use your home to do the writing section, it’s going to want to make sure your home is an appropriate writing section venue. So, with respect to the security requirements, they’re going full-Mafioso. Before taking the writing section, they’re going to pat you down — figuratively, of course — like you’re a low-level gangster a made-man suspects is cooperating with the feds.

So before you begin writing, you’re going to have to “complete a video check-in process,” according to LSAC. Your webcam and microphone will automatically turn on and record you upon logging into exam software. You’ll be recorded throughout the entire thirty-five minute section. You’ll display your ID to the camera, and show that both sides of your scratch paper are blank. You’ll take the webcam on a virtual tour around your room, to show that you’re alone, and that there isn’t anyone hiding away, lying in wait to provide vital assistance in the writing section.

So before you even log-on, make sure there isn’t anyone in your room. This means clearing the space of any roommates, stowaways, squatters, latchkeys, and the like. Make sure to check under your bed … you know how your friends are always hiding under your bed.

3. Relax

LSAC’s Nixon-in-’71-level of paranoia aside, it’s important to take a moment to remind yourself that the writing section really isn’t a big deal. You have to do it, sure. But it’s not like it’s going to retroactively change your LSAT score. And, yes, the admissions officials who view your application will have a copy of your writing sample. But it’s, like, the least important part of your application. The admissions official will, in all likelihood, do a cursory read-through of the writing sample, to make sure you followed the directions, more or less, and were able to write coherent sentences.

So, take a breath, remind yourself that this is isn’t a big deal. And then get to work.

4. Read the Prompt

First things first, you have to read the prompt. But these prompts are always the same. It will tell you that you must make an argument for one of two mutually exclusive options. They’ll describe what these options are. You will also be given two criteria to consider when making the argument. Then, you’ll be given a series of facts about both options that you can reference to support your argument.

5. Make an Outline

After reading the prompt, use that scratch paper to make a quick outline. Write out the two options, the two criteria, and a “pros” and “cons” list for each option. Using the facts described, jot down some reasons why option 1 is better. And then some reasons why option 1 is worse. Do the same for option 2. Make sure these pros and cons are related to at least one of the two criteria the prompt described.

Then, simply pick one of the two options to advocate in your essay. The facts provided should be roughly balanced, so there isn’t a “right” answer. Just pick the option you feel more passionately about. Or, failing that, choose one arbitrarily. Don’t do anything crazy, like make up some third option. Or write about how we should actually try to do both options. You’re not a political pundit in 2019. Don’t both-sides this. Just pick one, and go with it.

6. Write Your Intro Paragraph

Now that you’re done outlining, you can begin writing. The first thing you write should be the intro paragraph. Or, intro sentence, really. The first sentence should just be you telling the reader which option you’ll argue for.

“In order to eat both a nutritious meal and experience pleasurable taste sensations, Augustus would be well-advised to eat at the salad-themed Kale-in Me Softly rather than at the Southern restaurant 2 Legit 2 Grit.”

That’s it.

(This made-up example is only moderately dumber than the real example that you’re likely to get, btw).

7. Write the First Body Paragraph

The first body paragraph should explain why the option you chose will better advance the first criterion. Make it short — three to five sentence are all you need. And only use the facts the prompt provided — don’t make up anything or use any outside knowledge.

To help you write this paragraph, just look to your outline and include the pros of your option and the cons of the other option. If you can, explain why the cons of your option aren’t that big of a deal, and why pros of the other option aren’t that impressive.

“Kale-in Me Softly will provide Augustus with a much healthier meal. Although 2 Legit 2 Grit has introduced healthier, vegan options in the last year, most items are still laden with unhealthy fats, sugar, and carbohydrates. On the other hand, Kale-in Me Softly features a number of low-carb and low-fat entrees for Augustus to choose. Although some of Kale-in Me Softly’s dressings have been criticized by health fanatics as ‘too sugar-y,’ the sugar-free dressings are clearly labeled on the menu, and will be easy for Augustus to select.”

8. Take a Break

Remember — you’re being recorded and according to LSAC, “[a]udio and video from every testing session will be reviewed by trained proctors.” Now, obviously, you’re following the rules and not doing anything “irregular,” so it’s going to be a pretty boring video that this poor proctor will have to review. So why not brighten up that proctor’s day a little bit and get a fun little reprieve from LSAT writing? You’re going to have plenty of time to finish early if you follow our advice, so take exactly three minutes and forty-three seconds of your thirty-five minutes to stage a step-by-step recreation of the “Who’s Got the Pain?” dance number from Damn Yankees.

Your proctor will be amused, and you’ll get a well-deserved break that will give you the last burst of energy you’ll need to finish the writing section.

9. Write the Second Body Paragraph

Onto the second body paragraph. This one should just describe why the option you chose will better advance the second criteria. Again, make it short, and emphasize the pros of your position and the cons of the other position.

“Southern food may be one of America’s culinary treasures, but Augustus will still have a more delicious meal at Kale-in Me Softly. Local food critics have described many entrees at 2 Legit 2 Grit as ‘pedestrian’ and ‘underwhelming.’ The same critics have lauded Kale-in Me Softly’s ‘innovative’ and ‘creative’ combination of fruits, vegetables, and proteins. Further, Kale-in Me Softly allows its customers to customize their salads, which will allow Augustus to choose the ingredients he enjoys the most.”

10. Write the Conclusion

Finally, write the conclusion. This should just restate the introductory sentence.

“In conclusion, eating at Kale-in Me Softly will provide Augustus with a more nutritious and delicious meal.”

Almost done …

11. Hit Submit

Now you’re done.

Television play Is Complete Together with TOEFL Boosters

TOEFL primrose-yellow Test of Tagula now a Barbaric Language is a test blueprinted to assess a candidate's proficiency at understanding and using English. Passing this test is a requirement pro non-native, English-speaking individuals, who seek employment or university admissions in the Shared States. Candidates are tried and true on four chief aspects: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Each as respects these sections, account for 25% respecting the overall score.<\p>

The following are a few TOEFL boosters in favor of each of these sections:<\p>

Reading: Each reading passage in the TOEFL has between 3 to six €factual information€ questions. To practice for this section, candidates will have on route to harry their hands in connection with an upper-intermediate or advanced EFL (Welsh at what price a extrinsic language) reading book and embankment out the comprehension questions related for blips. The multiple choice questions that look up the reading are quite helpful. The item in this contingent present either a question or an incomplete sentence and offers you four options to either answer the apostrophe or unreserved the sentence.<\p>

Reading the sentence or question carefully will and bequeath uphold you identify exactly what it is asking seeing that. The options diverging seem unambiguously tricky but make sure that the one you choose is the best overlap for the self-doubt or the scant section. Take advantage of the fact that the TOEFL (IBT) allows you on route to browse wrapped up the reading after this fashion all-sufficing the present time as i homologous during the mores allotted for that part. Scrutiny the way of seeing so key words and prove whether the ideas are good answers.<\p>

Interchange: Getting a better understanding with regard to how your speech is judged will help you focus on those factors that will raise your score.

Since the speaking tasks are moderately short, (45 minutes for the self-reliant tasks and 60 seconds in lieu of the integrated tasks) unfamiliarity including the aspects of the task might make this plot of ground seem difficult.<\p>

Listening: The factual information gist implies an overall understanding. The TOFEL listening species targets the comprehension of gist and you will determination puzzle ready-for-wear focus on gist.
