Fanfic writing questions from a relative newbie - 12/07/18 04:18 AM
I'm just going to throw this out there.
What's next? That's really my burning question right now. What should I do?
I started writing on 11-1-18 and furiously wrote a story over the month of November (google nanowrimo to find out why) that is now about 54,000 words and only about 65-75% done (I'm totally guessing here, I know its at least half done though...)
I go back and forth between feeling stuck or not liking what I've written and making fantastic though completely out of order progress. I keep considering asking someone I know to read it, but I'm pretty sure its awesomeness will be lost on someone not 'in the know' with the show.
Which brought me here. But I'm overwhelmed by all this and now asking for guidance. I'm obviously surrounded by experienced fanfic authors (because I see your names in posts and its like I'm a kid meeting my favorite celebrities). I don't even know what I need and I'm hoping you guys can tell me.
I'll happily answer any questions you might have because I'm not sure what else I should say here. Thank you in advance for any advice you have to offer!
(P.S. I said 'relative newbie' because this is the first fic I've written by myself, but I devour all I can between other reading, and I edit for the archive)
