Welcome one and all to another corner of the internet devoted to fanfiction, /m/fanfiction!
Whether you are a reader, a writer, or both, you are welcome here. This is a place to talk about what you are reading, working on, the fandoms you like, and the craft of writing.
The rules:
- Be nice. Disagreements are fine, being mean is not. The usual Golden Rule.
- Only link to your own work if someone asks you directly or, in a post requesting for certain types of work, the OP specifies self-promo is okay.
- You can complain about things you don't like to find in your work and others, but no posting links to direct people toward something you don't like. We are not a mob.
- As this is fanfiction, don't bring up getting paid for the hobby.
- Posts to share passages or a review exchange are great! Specify these in the title of the thread, as well as whether concrit is or is not allowed.
- Make sure to check the NSFW box for any adult topics. They are allowed here, but this magazine is for all ages!
- When discussing specific fandom terms, try to be as inclusive as possible! This includes explaining or linking to an explanation of tropes some people might not be as familiar with the name of, or writing out the full name of your fandom before you use any abbreviations.
Update July 15th 2023: These rules are to be applied to the Threads section of this magazine. The Microblog section automatically pulls inposts with #fanfiction. Only rules one and three will be enforced there. So look and click on anything there at your own risk!
I'll admit I don't know what I'm doing yet, but I'll try my best. Please introduce yourself here however you best see fit!
Hello, Gao here =) I've been writing fanfic for around 10 years now and I'm an avid reader. I've never really been an active participant in fandom circles, though, and something focused on fanfic writing and not a specific fandom? A total first. But with the Great Internet Chaos Of 2023 I find myself in lots of new spaces where fannish corners are not necessarily well established and I want to try and do my part in helping these bloom, so here I am! For technical federation reasons none of the current threads here are visible from my instance so don't expect me to react to anything posted before now, but I'll do my best to participate in anything coming in the future =) Wishing everyone a good whatever-time-of-the-day-it-is-for-you!
Welcome! Glad to see you around. I know I've been busy and this place is generally quiet when I'm not pumping out posts, but I hope you will enjoy this small corner of the internet!
*looks at the two communities they're the only poster for* Yeah I feel you. But we're all in this together, it'll work out in the end =)
