why is writing fanfic so hard. i just want to be able to sit down, think my idea, and have it magically show up in my doc exactly how i see it.

the feminine urge to post a wip even though it’s not edited it’s not complete it’s nothing like you envisioned, and yet — u want your three mutual blorbos to pls pat u on the head, to pls validate u, to tell u ur words are something and that you aren’t alone and that the words on the screen are worth the endeavour. and sometimes it’s about the one to one understanding of the words on the page. sometimes it’s about the story making it from head to paper. sometimes it’s just about being deranged in your DMs and making the idea happen just for your own sake, or the two of you. the snake eats itself but it sustains and sustains, and i just think that’s beautiful.

The life of a fanfic writer:

Me: Okay so I've planned out another scene for my fic, and I am literally so excited to write it and share it!!

Someone else: Cool, when can we expect to see it?

Me: In about 10 years when I finally get to that part in the story!

accidentally turning a fic about Ellie gardening that was supposed to be short and sweet into something 10k+ words of feelings why does this keep happening to me 😭

#this was supposed to be done by now #just like a little brain reset before I got back into busfic #and yet it keeps growing #like the plants I barely know enough about to keep writing #someone help me #make me stop #the last of us fanfiction #tlou fanfiction #the last of us #joel and ellie #fanfic struggles #tlou fic

If I could just get my ADD ass to stop scrolling through Tumblr I'd be able to get this tooth rotting fluffy Valentine's Day special chapter ready to be queued for the 14th.

Alas my brain be like:

"spammed like on your works" bestie hit the reblog button on that shit otherwise stop complaining that authors don't post anymore/ don't update their works, it really is that simple

TFW you write by the seat of your pants and you’re following your bullet points and it occurs to you that you have NO idea how to transition scenes here. Like the previous scene is OVER, it’s time for us to move into the Next Bullet Point but it is. Simply. Not going. At all. So you just sit there typing the characters bantering like “Fun character banter take the wheeeeeeel~ take it from my handssssss~ idk how to get this guy into this lady’s bed~—“

Writing the next chapter of "Signed L.W." but I can’t even form a coherent thought today:

[cats-obsessions]

I want to write reincarnating elves soulmates au with tav/Astarion. But I also want to write evil durge/gortash. Like man, I hate those bastards, but they’re like a car crash I can’t look away from. They’re like a bizarre case study. I want to look at them under a microscope and make little weird notes about them.

[anxious-m3ss]

Fanfic ideas come to me in the form of a snappy one liner summary. Which is great until you want to work on the idea and realize you have no idea about the actual plot behind it🤷🏻‍♀️

The trouble with oneshots is I’m jumping into this rich and nuanced world, but I can only explore a small portion of it. I feel like a time-traveler on a budget, trying to figure out where I want to land because I only get one shot at this and I want to make the best of it.

The pros and cons of getting fic ideas at complete random:

Pros

You're always going to be surprised by what you think up

You get inspiration on the go

Marvelous show stopping ideas nobody has ever seen that they won't believe until they see it with their own eyes

Cons

It's never going to be something you already have in your WiPs

Most of the time you can't write your idea right away and by the time you can it's already gone

Whoops there it goes again, good luck catching it
