i know how hard it can be to promote your own stuff, and i'm also genuinely curious to see if anyone does?

My name should give it away but that's mostly all I write. Well and some recursive fics as well but none of them are in a state to be posted yet.

Actually, I do have one story posted, at least a couple chapters, but it’s currently under a rewrite hiatus. … It was my first time and I realize now I made my MC fit too well with the environment.
_{fine she's a bit of a Mary Sue.}
But I'm working on fixing that… when my procrastination isn't biting me.

I write on Wattpad and create fanfiction. It's really fun to interact with people who like the same things but I'm not very popular yet.

I like to write fanfics, mainly Marvel ones. Anyone wanna share an OTP?

Hell yes!! Cap and Tony Stark

I do Sanders Sides ones.

HOLY SHIT!! Sander Sides is god

It is, I also do cosplay.
If you're on AO3, my user is Logic_With_A_Pinch_Of_Deciet
My most popular fic is In Which A Dragon And A Prince Meet

Sanders sides is great.
I love fanfics and write them for almost any fandom I enter

I have a Peter Parker one that I started a couple months ago that was never gonna go anywhere.
The main character is a Stony girl, and she's lowkey a mini Natasha.
I was never planning anything, but people liked it for some reason (i'm posting in on this website called Quotev).
I actually have solid chapter plans and ideas for other books.
I don't like telling my friends about it cause it's embarrassing. But I don't know any of you and none of you know me, so it's not so bad.

yeah, i write for x1 lol

Oh god same I–

But uh yeah! I work on fics when I'm not doing other things(good god I have a lot on my plate)! For the most part, I do Pokemon stuff but I have a few Kid Icarus fics I'm writing as well

I do lel. Mostly Fallout stuff but I just wrote a Great Gatsby fic.

It is, I also do cosplay.

I'm reading In Which A Dragon And A Prince Meet right now, it's really good! Great work!

I joined Notebook.ai to organize my ideas for the fanfic I want to write since I'm 14. But yeah, I'm so lazyyyyyyyyyyy. Need to focus. Focus in it Yuki!

I started writing a Sanders Sides fanfic during Algebra, I'm three chapters in so far, and I want this to be a pretty long fanfic

Ooooh, I really want to try a sander sides fan fic with my own sides. (I haven't met them yet, only one)

Update: Starting chapter 5, just started getting into the story

I have maybe 5 or 6 fanfics I've started, but never have gotten more than 5 chapters done. :(. I should really get moving on those. I also want to start a marvel one…

Y'all, I wrote a Pokemon Sword and Shield fic that I'm pretty proud of if you want to check it out…

It's called Redemption and it focuses on Bede and it's angsty and it's basically "what if helped out with that thing at the end of the game that I won't spoil if you haven't played" and he's just pretty sad in general

I joined a new fandom, and it's a kids show (although a lot of people in the fanbase are in their late teens). I wrote a 200+ page fanfic about it, because I have no self control when it comes to these things.

I'm in the middle of writing a One Piece fanfic
Because why the hell not

I have multiple incomplete Supernatural fanfics, and one Dragonball Z story that's sadly going nowhere. I used to use wattpad and deviantart, but I stopped using those due to some bad experiences.

Some advice! Just try to keep going. If you lost the inspiration, (I can relate with all my incompleted fanfics spanning multiple fandoms) just try to work on something you have the passion to write, and don't push yourself too hard. Don't try to finish a chapter in one go. It's okay to need to think it through and take a while. Stress will lead to lack of inspiration. In the end, just write what you want when you want!

Also, whatever you write on now – if anything– I hope that no one's being toxic! If they are, remember that you fanfics are still great and that you tried. We all have haters, but it's best to focus on positivity!

(Haha, this is probably stupid, but hey, here to help! I've been a fanfic author for slightly over two and a half years and I'm here to help people! Also, any of you can ask me for advice on writing! I'm not incredibly good, but I'm good at tips on staying focused and motivated, and maybe some other tips!)

Oh no, the passion and inspiration is alive and well; my problem is that I have so many ideas that I just keep hopping from one project to the next! 99.9% of them are Spn, the .1 is the DBZ story….

I actually didn't get any hate on any of my projects…. On wattpad I asked one of the admins if there was an easier way to get more traffic to my stuff. I had been using tags, commenting on things that I was reading, etc. No help whatsoever; they replied with something among the lines of "keep doing what you've been doing"…. Which, to me, was equivalent to telling me to screw off. The lack of views and comments on something that I worked so hard on left me severely depressed and disheartened (until I rekindled myself with an idea or two).

Basically the same thing happened on DA…. I had submitted a scanned drawing of mine to a group, and got the response of "the picture is of poor quality. Retake the photo with a better camera, and we might accept your submission."
I went on to point out that it was scanned, and even said that not everyone can afford a high-end professional camera. While I can and do understand that it's their right to reject submissions, it is not okay to assume that everyone has access to equipment capable of taking "quality photos." Sadly that one person ruined DA for me, but I have been debating on returning to that site!
^{Aaaaaaaand that was much longer than I thought it would be…………}

^^ I haven't published much on wattpad, but I heard that it's pretty hard to get noticed on there unless you have a somewhat large fanbase :( I don't like it.
Buttt I'd be willing to read and hype up anybodys stories/fanfics ! I love reading, and would 100 % support anyone who wants it

Ah, those are also problems of which I relate to! I write on Wattpad – though I've considered quitting a lot throughout the past year and a half – but for 136 followers, no one reads my books and it makes me feel like my efforts are going unnoticed. My girlfriend, who has like eight followers, gets more reads per part than I do. I would leave if it weren't for my few friends and running role plays there. I put a lot of effort into my fanfics making sure each chapter is long and is free of spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors, as well as properly paragraphed.

Then with having a lot of different ideas, that's also an issue of mine! I have ADHD, so my attention span is everywhere. Once I turned a strange BTS and Phoenix Wright sort of fanfic (please don't question where that idea came from, because I don't know myself) into pure gayness. Then I stopped writing it because that was not meant to happen, and I got more idea. I've had multiple ideas throughout multiple fandoms as well and many incomplete stories due to my wacky attention span and multiple ideas.

To resolve that? I don't know myself, but I write while listening to music, which helps me focus on writing. The writing itself comes easy since I get into character quickly, but I still have a lot of ideas. That's also why I had a short story book. It was where I could test out my other ideas and focus on a main fanfic. Oh, and I also made a page to keep track of ideas to come back to later!

I hope that some of this helps!

Heh, that's true… kinda… I got 200 reads in a day when I had less than fifty followers, and now, with 136 and writing about a much larger fandom, no one cares. I'm unnoticed everywhere I write, though, so I'm used to it. I do support my friends, though! Also, what fandom(s) do you write about on there? That plays a role. I mostly write about BTS, but it can be any of my random fandoms.

As I said, most of my fanfic is Supernatural. Love it, "live" it, crave it!

I can see how BTS fanfics would be hard to get noticed, there's so many of them! I've only published a couple parts of a Dallas Winston/the Outsiders fanfic, but I've been writing a marvel one I'd like to publish as well. I just have so many projects and never know which one I want to prioritize :p I haven't gotten many reads at all, but so far I don't mind. But if I do want to complete a fanfic, I want to know people are reading it
