Previous Thread>>4255745>The main places to read fics:https://archiveofourown.org/https://www.fanfiction.net/>An ancient archive of fics compiled and shared by a kind anon (note that this is not a curated collection, just a very extensive archive)https://mega.nz/#F!oaphAAaZ!6FnZFfH2f-Vx5d9A47pSowPost links to fics and discuss them and fanfiction in general. Link fics you like, your own stuff, it's all good as long as it's yuri.
how do you guys feel about authors turning their fics into actual books? i have heard of it happening in some fandoms but i have never seen it happen personally to any fandoms i am in yet
>>4321543I don't mind it, there's a lot of published mirandy fics that I've enjoyed.
>>4321529As a haggered old sinner, I gotta say it's really nice to come back and see that these threads are still working the same way after a decade
>>4321543I doubt it would work. Either you end up losing the context the original work provided or the work was already an AU to such an extent that I wuoldn't have enjoyed reading it anyway. I've got nothing against the authors doing it, though, I just don't think I'd be interested in such work.
>>4321543Good for them, as long as I can get my hands on archived fic if they decide/are forced to delete it.Just recently stumbled upon one. Title seemed familiar, checked out synopsis and had a brief moment of wait, I've read that fic. Even has authors fanfic pen name in bio. I'm actually curious how it turned out, will give it a go (Truth and Measure by Roslyn Sinclair, turned from Devil Wears Prada Andy/Miranda fic with the same name by Telanu).I've read one or two non-/u/ fanfics that got removed before being turned into books (praise the hoarding compulsion and FanFicFare), but have yet to look them up.
Is it a good idea to edit your work as you write it or do the first draft and then edit itI feel like that's what makes my fics take ages to complete
>>4322786I personally do the first draft and edit later, trying to edit for quality while simultaneously writing the foundation sounds exhausting. It's a lot easier to revise and edit later.
>>4322786The latter. It can be easy to get lost in the weeds while editing. Better to lay everything out and then smooth out the edges, fill in the artistry and all that.
>>4322786Depends on the person. I edit as I go because knowing that something early on is wrong makes me fixate on the issue, and I hate trashing scenes because of possible said issues. But your writing speed will decrease, since it’s both writing and editing.My posted work is 95% similar to my first (and often only one) draft because of the constant polishing.
>>4322786You do you. Both approaches have their merits and pitfalls. Editing as you go can sometimes lead to a writer being stuck rewriting the first chapter of a what in their minds is supposed to be a 600k trilogy. Making it all up as you go can lead to a 600k work desperately in need of an editor armed with a flamethrower and pruning shears. I tend towards editing as I go because when I get stuck, that usually means there's an underlying issue there that I need to address sooner or later. Vomiting another 5k words on top of it doesn't help if I don't address the issue. Writing like this does take long but I don't have to make massive changes between draft and publishing. I work without a beta reader though.
Send me fanfics with the theme nerd x popular girl. With sex scenes.
>>4323221Ask like a normal person would
>>4323221me and your mom (she's the nerd)
>>4323221What's your address?
>>4321543the problem with it is pretty simple, theres a good example of a reylo fanfic that got turned into an original book that spends so long trying to create a shitty facsimile of star wars that it loses anything compelling about the original. These works are so heavily based off another work and so dependent on prior knowledge that they just crumble on their own.
>>4323221I may want to write something like this, got any actual pairs in mind?
>>4323524Ships or pairings? If we talk about ships we have Junna/Nana from Revue Statlight, You/Riko from Love Live Sunshine and Rinko/Sayo from Bang Dream, ChuChu/Reona from the Bandori can also work.
>>4323527I've also read some ChuChu/Rei fics from Bandori, that's definitely nerd x popular girl with a nice height gap to boot. On a side note, is it possible for a fic to be the opposite of slow burn, where it seems like the relationship is progressing too quickly? I started reading a 500K longfic where the characters meet for the first time in chapter one, and I'm only on chapter seven and they're already almost fucking. I mean, it's nice that it's getting to the good stuff pretty quickly (and the battle scenes are really good), but I can't help but wonder if their relationship is going to stagnate over the next 106 chapters. I don't think I've ever read a longfic where things have moved quite this quickly.
>>4323517Junko/MukuroPlease
>>4323744Damn misclickMeant for >>4323524
>>4323744Mikan serves the role of a nerd much better.Junko, Mukuro and Mikan should be a poly threesome, so nerd x popular girl x scary tomboy would be best!
>>4322786I tend to write a whole chapter give myself some time to think about it and then edit. Usually it’s either inclusions or alterations to the plot after I think up something good that should be present. Then I move onto the next chapter. While I’m writing that I may write a story beat I hadn’t planned that requires the first chapter to be altered so I go back and do that. So it’s mostly just a edit as necessary to make the plot consistent process.
I watched Sharp Objects last weekend and spend reading every fic on AO3...any Camille/Amma fics in any other place?Shit was top tier siscest bait.
I got some fanart for my fic and someone just made like a little video edit thing for my fic too. I feel like the belle of the ball
>>4330010holy jesus. How many hits/kudos did you get I gotta know how this manifests.
>>43300133.4k hits and 220 kudos. I think part of it is that it's a small/newer fandom that I'm very involved in, I also do some of my own original art for the fic that I sprinkle around in it. And I've been updating it really frequently, I started posting a few weeks ago and I'm up to 21 chapters. So with all that combined, I've been having some pretty dedicated readers, it feels really nice.
>>4330015What a fandom?
>>4330018The Wild Robot. Fic is "Together in the Quiet", I just updated it actually. It's my first multi-chapter fic, and I didn't even intend for it to be this long. Originally it was just gonna be a smutfic with a few chapters, but I really liked writing it so I decided to prolong the story. Considering both girls are non-human and one isn't even anthropomorphic, I felt like writing them was the most satisfying way to explore their relationship since I couldn't rely on simply drawing human anatomy for making ship material for them.
>>4330037>The Wild Robot>smutuhh wtf?
>>4330652Modern problems require modern solutions
>>4330652we do it because we can
>>4330652It's the 21st century, non-android robots can have sex now. Catch up, grandma
>>4331360with animals a tenth of their size?
>>4330652>that yuri manga about dinosaurs>that thread about the periodic table where people were shipping the elements>and now this fanfic about robotsI finally have all three KEK.>>4331672Where there's 2 girls, there's a wayWhere there's 2 girls, there's a wayWhere there's 2 girls, there's a wayWe don't wanna go to sexualize robots todayBut as their hands touched and their eyes locked we said "Nay, nay, nay" (there's a way)We're gonna ship them all day, all day, all day (where there's 2 girls, there's a way)
