Introduction
Fanfiction is a fan written story based on a popular media, book, anime or literature. It needs no detailed intro for a lot of us know what we want when getting into fanfiction. But if you don’t, read around for some ideas.
Basic Guidelines
-
Be respectful - A fanfic is above all else, a safe space for one to explore and experiment. You might encounter others who have different opinions and views as you. And that’s fine. But be reminded that fanfictions are written for free, a true labor of love. In this case, “if you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all” applies.
-
Valid Criticisms are Welcome- that said, a fanfic can be an avenue for some to improve their writing. Valid and sincere constructive feedback are welcome.
-
Be civil - let’s keep this place a safe and warm place for everyone to enjoy their fandoms.
-
Proper Credits- Always credit when sharing works that aren’t yours.
-
Proper tagging and labels- Do label your fandom when sharing a story for easy searchability. Example- Fanfiction Title [Fandom]
Writer’s Resource

- Write… and write - it’s always the first step that’s most difficult

- Proofread… or not. It’s up to you.
