Can you recommend fan fiction for someone(myself) who had never really been introduced?
I don’t care so much for theme or world building. But I love strong and vulnerable characters (think Perks Of Being A Wallflower).
Any advice?
Ps I’m a guy fwiw. (I love love but I am not into lovey-romance focused books, I mean)
I would love to but I think it would help if I knew what sort of fandoms you were into! Not that it’s crucial because I do believe really good fic is capable of standing on its own but I do think it’s easier to start with a universe you’re familiar with.
So, any books or movies you’re into and would like to read fic about? Maybe I know something about it!
If not I did make a general fic rec post a while ago that is still up here somewhere!
hiya daffodil💛
it’s been a while, how are you? i hope you had a sweet valentines :]
i thought it would be the perfect time to watch pride and prejudice cuz i never have seen it, but i keep putting it off..not sure my poor heart could take it heh
i see that you have been writing a lot more, me too! actually it’s more of journaling because at least the whirlwinds of my mind have a direction they want to go—surprisingly it’s the same way every time, who knew?
i hope you’re staying warm and safe!

will you move to another question site when this one expires in march?
tips for writing fic for the first time? <3 sending much love your way fran! x
Don’t worry to much! Write something you really love and don’t overthink it. There will be more time to get your style down, to experiment, and there will be other stories to tell, so don’t try to pack it all into the first one.
I would personally advise against starting with something on the longer side just because it can be a little overwhelming. A oneshot is probably easier to handle for your first time.
Writing fic is wonderful because you get to play with the characters you love and make up your own world for them. Sharing it and receiving feedback can be quite daunting but also really fun.
Mostly, my advice is to write for yourself — what is it that you’d like to read? Being that to life! The rest is confetti.
Best of luck and happy writing!
Thank you for being an endless source of inspiration, your romantic soul saved mine 🥹
i love ur acc sm and i hope u dont mind if i keep qrt-ing ur twts to post about my god tier ship 🤧
Romantics who can’t emote their feelings >>>
you’ve been quiet do you have a new obsession keeping you busy? 😂
Hi fran! do you have any groups you would recommend for someone who is just getting into kpop? I feel like our tastes are similar so I trust you. thanks advance 💌
&Team! Oh my goodness, &Team. I cannot overstate how incredible they are. Technically Jpop, they’re a nine member group that recently celebrated their second anniversary. They’re incredible dancers and performers and their music has a really, really cool alt-rock vibe. Their concept is also super interesting (they’re werewolves — canonically — and there’s lots of lore surrounding the story, including a webtoon) and if you, like me, are very into storytelling, theirs is a great one to sink your teeth into!
They have two full albums, plus last year they released projects that followed all four seasons of the year and not only are the songs truly great, the videos are stunning. The cinematography is gorgeous! Their latest release is Deer Hunter (a serve and a HALF) but the way to do it is to go back and binge all their music if you want to feel something (or everything).
All the members are incredibly talented and sweet and they really feel like a pack. They have a fun variety show called Go One you can watch if you’d like to get to know them better.
The fandom, as far as I know, is also quite chill compared to others so if this is your first experience it would probably be a nice way to ease yourself into this sort of space.
🤍
