#Bits I Want To Write and none of the actual setup or fallout or walking around

[mylittleredgirl]

i love how there's the genre of fix-it fic where the author goes into great granular detail of how our heroes manage to avoid or undo whatever character death or other unpopular choice occurred, in a way that abides by the laws of the fictional universe and definitely required a substantial plot outline, and then there are fix-it fics where the author just went "that's bullshit and didn't happen," and we as readers all go "agreed. carry on."

#i love writing fanfic because if i don't want to write something i just. do not. #and i'm doing it for free so no one can make me #this is why the five times fic is actually the best format because it's entirely composed of #Bits I Want To Write and none of the actual setup or fallout or walking around #that would be required in an actual book #how did the characters get here? well that's for me to not know and you to not find out #on fanfic #containment breach
