i may have only managed to get about three hours sleep last night and one of my packages may have been lost in the post but i am at least happy to say that i’ve finally wrangled my shorter je wip into something that i can see going somewhere over the course of the past few evenings. it’ll be a long time before i finish because of burnout but i’m at least confident that this structure will work.

> There are only 2 rules when it comes to writing fanfics:

> 1. Write whatever you want.
> 2. Have fun doing it.

> That’s literally it. There is no “show and don’t tell”. There is no “make it realistic”. There is no “fit in with the trends”. And of course, there is no “write as fast as possible to keep up engagement and please others”.

> No.

> Most fanfiction writers are not professional writers. This isn’t a job, we’re literally writing for shits and giggles. We don’t have a team of editors behind us to make our story perfect. Fanfiction isn’t about creating the most perfect plot with the most perfect prose and the most perfect pacing.

> Fanfiction writing is for you first. To make your heart happy. Other people just get the benefit to also enjoy it if they wish.

> That’s it.

> Write whatever makes you happy, with whatever writing style you want, whenever you want.

once again i am feeling discouraged about my writing. i am so desperate for this fic to work but it feels like pulling teeth, and being unsure of what i actually want the end product to look like isn’t helping matters. still, all things worth doing are hard, so we persevere.
