Fanfiction help, tips, prompts and ideas

I planned on making this a private post just to help me find all the links and wonderful help made by these wonderful people but it can be helpful for others too to have it all in one place.

I hope this helps you! I know how frustrating it is to come here looking for actual tips, and the only things you find are inspirational posts that just repeat the same "you can do it" message over and over, these posts here have saved me a million times already

But if the creators of these would like me to take down/private the post please let me know and I will, no problem ^^

Little Tips

✦ A little advice I just remembered, but when adding paragraph breaks: Imagine your scene as a movie, and every time the camera would change - that's a paragraph break.

✦ Stuck in a scene? Put what happens in brackets [Our hero escapes death by doing something clever] Then write what happens next. Keeping your writing momentum is key. Often you'll find the answer later in the work. - C. Robert Cargill on twitter

✦ And my own little tip: if you're trying to write a little every day but you just can't do it, - if you feel comfortable - write a silly, SILLY, smut oneshot and just have fun making the most absurd things happen.

Sit down and keep adding "and then", "and THEN". After a bit you can look back at what you just wrote and either laugh or cringe, either way you'll have written something that day ^^

You can do it with a fluffy/comfort scenario too, write a domestic scene where nothing is bad, and keep making things better OR write that scene you've been daydreaming of for weeks and that originally sparked that need to write
