Thank you for doing the math and writing it out. It shows how much work goes into not just writing but editing and even posting take a minute or two. - Lio

How long does it take to write a fanfic?

I just thought about how I posted the teaser for Just hold me like three weeks ago thinking I would just quickly edit and publish it the next week. Writing takes a long time but editing takes long too >.<

This made me wonder how much time I spend writing for the internet. Last year I published about 121,000 words so if I divide that number by the number of words I can write in an hour I would have the number of hours I spend last year on fanfics.

How much time did I spend writing last year?

Now, this is not so easy to say bc I edited most of my stories or even straight-up rewrote them, which takes time but doesn't always add that many words so I made an estimation.

I asked myself what is the maximal number of words I can write in an hour and divided that by two to account for editing. I think it's reasonable to assume that editing takes about as much time as writing on average. There were some stories where editing was faster but also some where editing took longer than actually writing the thing.

So I said I can write up to 300 words in an hour (I think I'm a slow writer?? idk) half of that is 150 words which means last year I spend about

121,000 / 150 = 807 hours

writing and editing last year, so about 2 hours every day. That sounds about right XD (I definitely spend some weekends writing like 8 hours and some days I didn't write)

So how long does it take to write a fanfic?

I can also use this as an estimate for how long it took to write a story. For example, Voices is one of my most popular stories and it has about 7k words. With the numbers from above, that would be around 47 hours on this story.

I don't record how many hours I write but I record how many words I wrote each day and on what story.

I started writing Voices on the 12th of October 2021 and finished the first draft by the 31st of October 2021 with had 5400 words. After that, I did a complete rewrite of the first draft between the 8th and the 17th of November 2021. 47 hours seems like a lot, but it could be accurate??

Conclusion

It takes a long time to write so, please support your fanfic writers and be kind to them <3

It’s so sad that this is still a discussion. Please just listen to the writers, those small things inspire us to write. I know some people don’t have AO3 so if you don’t want all your favorite writers to run there then show some deep appreciation, please. It happening in every fandom not just one.

guys i’ve been noticing something a lot and i kind of want to talk about it.

i’m not sure if it’s just the tags or if people really have stopped writing as much but there has been such a decline in fics recently. especially in stayblr.

when i first discovered stayblr i remember almost every day there would be new series, new one shots, new blurbs and drabbles… for all members. it was truly what attracted me to even start this blog—noticing how tight the community was and how eager everyone was in hyping up other people’s work and showing them love and appreciation.

i feel like as an outsider looking in, i never noticed how much of a lack there was in interaction and feedback. a lot of big accounts would get interactions; but after a while i realised it was just other writers trying to hype each other up, with a few anons here and there.

meanwhile the feedback from general readers was very scarce. but that was back then. since then… there has been an even bigger decline in feedback and interactions. which led to so many wonderful writers leaving this app and taking their brilliant work with them. and it honestly breaks my heart a little because the skz tags used to be so alive, yknow? they really were. now they’re practically teetering on the edge of death.

i never understood the importance of reblogs on this app until i properly became a part of the writing community, so i get it. i get that you might feel shy. i get that you might not want fics you read on your blog feed. i get that you might have social media anxiety. and those are all valid issues. they really are. but… there has to be some way you can give back to the community. not even for the writers’ sake, but to keep it alive. because idk if you’ve noticed but the fanfic side of stayblr is slowly dying out.

i know a lot of you leave likes. and gosh, do we appreciate it! genuinely. thank you for the likes. but in the long run likes don’t help as much, besties. i’m so sorry. i wish they did ☹️ i know it would be easier, but they don’t. not just from a tumblr standpoint, but even as writers—we need feedback, so we know what exactly you like and what you don’t.

there are so many things you can do:

if you don’t wanna ruin your blog aesthetic, have a separate blog for reblogging fics/giving feedback

if you can’t reblog, write a comment

if you don’t wanna do that, tumblr literally has an option for you to send anonymous messages. what is there to lose?

if you don’t want other people seeing your feedback, request the writer to not post it. or DM them!

but even then… if you’re feeling anxious about it… find something that works for you. make the person who entertains you feel appreciated. drop a meme, an emoji, anything!

think about it. would you guys treat your faves like this? i get that fanfic writers aren’t as desirable as actual celebrities. i’m not even trying to make that comparison. but your faves provide you entertainment and/or comfort the same way your fav fanfics do. and if you feel like your support drives them to make better content, why can’t that apply to the fic writers too?

i’m not trying to say you have to. you don’t. you really don’t have to. but this is a beautiful community and it’s made so many people feel safe and loved. it’s a safe space for so many of us. and it’s dying out because people are not appreciating it enough.

people who’ve been on stayblr for a long time… you all remember all the amazing fics we used to get almost everyday, don’t you? you ever scroll and try to look for them and then feel sad when you can’t find them? it’s because the accounts who wrote those fics deactivated. if you want good work that gives you comfort, please show the people who give you that comfort some love. we’re human too. we need encouragement too.

there are wonderful writers still on this platform but there’s been a decline in numbers. don’t let it get worse, please. we need you to keep this community running. your support, your feedback, your appreciation. readers are just as valuable to a writing community as the writers. please work with us, not against us.

support your fav writers, besties ❤️🥰

#same as star #I hope this wasn’t seen as harsh #but please #tumblr is maybe the only platform some people can go to #and tumblr is one of the only fanfic friendly sites there is #please don’t make it more welcoming #you’ll see an influx of more writing and writers and it may just be for your favorite fandom #sorry for the rant #I just liked what op and star said #and want others to see it #Lio admin

Omg I'm so mad at myself for not finding your blog sooner. I freaking love A.C.E!!!! And it's so hard to find people on any writing platform that write for them. I literally almost cried when I looked at your A.C.E Masterlist because I have never come across someone with as much A.C.E content as you. You are a literal blessing. I-

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR YOU. 🥰

THANK YOU FOR WRITING A.C.E CONTENT, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY: THANK YOU FOR WRITING SPICY A.C.E CONTENT.

May both sides of your pillow always be cool, and may you meet your bias someday.

P.S. Your work is seriously underrated. I can't believe you don't get more notes.

Oh my gosh hello!!! When we first got into A.C.E we were so sad to not find many writers, so we decided to flood Tumblr with them ourselves. You're words are so sweet oh my god 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Thank you so much for being excited about our content. Lio admin always feels like we have too much so thank you for saying that.

WE LOVE SPICY CONTENT. A.C.E deserves spicy content (of course they deserve all genres but...) Spicy content is needed for this group. There's a lot of masterlist to go through but stay tuned for more spicy A.C.E coming soon!!

Thank you so much for this, we've been feeling discouraged about the lack of interest of A.C.E content so thank you so much for encouraging us and making our month with this ask.

(The pillow and bias comment made us smile so big we can't even tell you.)

P.S. thank you for saying that 🥺. You are an angel and have cheered us up so much 💜💙- Lio and Ju admin

I really am not a fan of the turmoil they put people through with those shows, but the performances that come from them are beautiful and art to watch.

JYP has a stone expression with that, but it's been so long since I've seen it I can't remember all the details 😅😅.

Matryoshka was good, I remember getting chills the first time and knowing they were talented rappers. The dance was so cute and I was so glad they got to do it as a group (Minus Minho who had already been "eliminated"). The vocal performance was 'As If It's Your Last' by Blackpink and Jisung rapped while Chan and former member Woojin sang. The arrangement that Chan did on the song was so well thought out and really genius. It stuck out to me and it's one I go back to.

YES. I think his name is Bang YeDam? He is part of Treasure and has a solo song called 'Wayo' and he still sings wonderfully.

I can't believe it's already been 4 years since that show came out... They've all grown so much since then and their performances is still the stroke of genius it was back then.

Hello Star! I know in recent weeks you've gotten into Stray Kids so I imagine you are must better equipped to talk about them than I am but I thought I'd send an ask anyway. I know reality shows that debut groups are hard to watch and many people don't watch them, but I love seeing performances from those shows. Have you watched the JYP vs YG performances with Stray Kids? I'm interested in hearing your opinion on them if you have. - Lio

Hi Lio <3

That show was so heart wrenching to watch >.<

Honestly, idk how people can put kids through something like this :/ It must have had a big emotional toll ...

I know this wasn't the question but the thing I remember when I think about this show is when they talk with JYP about Hellevator. He doesn't even flinch when they write a song about how their time as trainees was hell. Okay^^;;;;

JYP vs YG was interesting. Jisung and Changbin are both amazing rappers even then. I know the dance performance was cute and funny but I can't remember for the life of me what Skz' vocal performance was XD

For YG, I only remember that one guy having a really good solo song (I think he is in Treasure now???).

What did you think about the performances? :3

Title: Let Me Fix It

Pairing: San x Reader

Genre: Fluff; I Love You Prompt

Word Count: 271 Words

Writer: Whattodowithkpop [Lio]

Summary: San has a bit of trouble with his stage outfit, but he has some help from one of the backstage helpers.

*****

San had a broadcasting scheduled. He has done many before, but he always got nervous. When he could dance he didn't feel as nervous, but when he had to just talk and entertain in that way he got nervous. His hair was styled and his make up was already applied. He was working on getting dressed. His white buttoned down shirt was tucked into his black slacks as he attempts tying his tie with shaky hands. The door to the dressing room he was in creaks open.

"San, you're on in five."

San looks to the woman peaking her head in, his eyes nervous as he drops his tie. She smiles at him, coming into the room fully. She walks up to him, inspecting his person.

"Come here, let me fix it." She offers as her hands reach out to meet him.

She unbuttons some of the buttons, fixing the ones that were in the wrong hole. She reaches up for the tie, untying the messy knot he had created.

"You're going to do great." She whispers as she begins tying the tie correctly, San's eyes stayed on her face as he watched the dim lights illuminate her features. "You always do."

He can't help but smile at her words, his nerves calming slightly because of them. She finishes his tie, pushing it up to his neck gently before running her hands along his shoulders, smoothing out the crisp white shirt.

"You're all set."

"Thank you." San smiles. They stay silent for awhile before they hear his name through the intercom.

"That's your cue."

STRAY KIDS / you never ask for help

warning: these are long! it’s all fluff and some suggestive themes in changbin’s part (only if you squint, really)

requested by anonymous.

↣ chan

Chan sometimes struggled with interpreting social cues the right way, so he preferred it when you were direct with him. The problem was, you were only direct with people when there was absolutely no other way around it. Like asking if someone could move, please, because they are blocking your path in a café, and you’re holding a scalding hot cup of coffee that is starting to burn your fingertips.

When you finally reached your table, in your haste to put the hot cup down, you ended up splashing some of the liquid on your hand. Chan heard you hiss and immediately asked what was wrong.

Sitting down, you gave him a pained smile and replied through clenched teeth, “nothing. I’m okay.”

But you were hiding your hand in-between your thighs, irrationally hoping that the harder you squeezed your hand into the chair, the less pain you’d feel.

Chan squinted his eyes. “You burned your hand, didn’t you?”
