I began my writing journey on fanfiction.net after a fan page on wetpaint.com went down (wetpaint was my OG springboard for all things fanfics, then ff.net, livejournal and tumblr). I still visit it from time to time, reading fanfics that are not present on AO3....
Do you see them as anticipation? Or just unnecessary stress in reading fanfics? Have you dropped fanfics that ended in cliffhangers?
I am not always on the site daily. So for dedicated posters, watchful users and avid lemmy users, I am humbly requesting assistance in growing and monitoring this community....
How long do you consider a normal length for a fic?
What do writers look for in comments? I read a lot but I’ve only written a little. I’m working on writing more in-depth comments then “This is great! Can’t wait to see where it goes!” but so far I’m really just setting word count goals and dragging it out until I meet them. What do writers want to read?
I noticed that I love Mariner/Boimler in fanfiction, but if it went cannon I’d be upset. Thoughts? Is this common?
