types of fanfiction writers 

I wonder how many sticky notes she's used at this point

Where's the "Have planned out everything from start to ending but struggling to write it" writers at? ✋

You forgot the writer that starts writing because the fandom doesn't write the fic they're looking for so they do it themselves

The Sprinter: Writes an obscene amount of fanfiction in a short period of time and then doesn’t for a month.

“i hate this fanfic” *adds to library*

“How do people write this with a straight face??” Simple: *We don’t*

Being a writer has made me realized how incredibly shady my search history can become. One second it says ‘fae outfits’ and the next it says ‘what’s the most inconspicuous weapon you could bring to a party?’

"The researcher" "The perfectionist" Did y'all know that a group of boars is called a "singular"?

These aren’t types hunny, this is just the stages of a Fanfiction writer.

And let's not forget the fanfictions that actually could have a decent story but the grammar is so atrocious you literally cannot comprehend what is says.

I can't even write a kiss-scene without feeling that the main character is self insert, while it really isn't. Help

I remember editing a very explicit piece of smut at my grandmother's birthday party. Thank you.

"it's fine, I'll finish this one!" "they did not, in fact, finish this one" how dare you call me out like that

“how can people write this with a straight face” how can people even write them-

"Why do you write like you're running out of time?" sent me flying because yes

"Oh, it's fine! I'll...I'll actually finish this one!" "They did not, in fact, finish that one." leave me alone dammit.

What is the scariest thing writers are scared of? *Writers block.*

"loves to torture their readers" "only writes fanfic prompts" "struggling" "never finishes their wips" are all me 😔

OH. MY. GOSH. There was this AMAZING Loki/OC fanfic back on Tumblr. The author had wrote multiple chapters and updated twice a month. Then it dwindled to once a month due to her being busy. No big deal, completely understandable. Then, after quite some time on hiatus, she posted that not only was she not finishing the fanfic, she was taking it off the internet because she was changing the character names and publishing it into a novel. Okay, I was a bit sad but happy that she was publishing. I could always insert Loki and the OC's name in when I read it in book-form. I immediately signed up for her emailing list so I could buy the novel when she published it. It's been 5-ish years and I've never gotten an email. I can't even read the old chapters because she deleted them. I'll never know what happens to Loki and his wife, or why she had magic, or what the necklace did. It was a slow burn romance and I really loved both Loki and his wife despite their character flaws. It was one of the best stories I have ever read and it's just...gone. 😢😭😭😭😭😭

I did exclusively one-shots for a tiny fandom that kinda blew up long after I'd left it (the fandom I mean, my one-shots were just decently liked). It was all fluff. Pointless, filling in the blanks, make you feel all warm and cozy fluff. I stand by my contributions to this world.

Let’s be honest. Most of us are watching this instead of writing our fanfics (me included) Edit: It’s got to have been a good 4 years or so since I made this. So much shit has happened in that time (which… honestly would’ve made for hilarious author’s notes. Damn.) but I can confirm; I am still watching this video instead of writing my fics

You forgot me, the “Writes so many fanfics but tells themselves it’s not good enough to post and never posts any of them and keeps it to themselves f o r e v e r”

"Never finished their WIPs" Well, thanks to NaNoWriMo, I managed to finish three WIPs, post two of them, complete a High school AU story, AND work on my actual novel. So to all of my WIP writers out there, don't worry, you'll get there one day!

I *felt* the first one. I was looking up Pokemon fanfics expecting them to be bad and cringy, y'know, to have a good laugh, but I ended up with a 30 chapter story that was so fucking well written it destroyed my heart with all the angst, misunderstandings and shit. I'm never recovering from it.

“No beta we die like men” is unequivocally the best ao3 tag

"never finishes their wips" "one shot master" ....I feel called out.

I swear, everything Coley does is just pure Meme material.

“Only writes fanfic prompts and outlines” “Perfectionist” “One shot master” Yup

As a fanfic writer, I can honestly say all these things are true.

"the good noodle" more commonly known as the endangered species of writers

The “lost interest but keeps going” been there. Wrote 25 chapters and had to add another one cuz I got so excited to finish it I forgot to explain the most important parts Needless to say I switched to being a one-shot master

I am... too many of these. Though the "can only write smut" also applies to angst. The smut is fun, but I have legit been horrified by the darker scenes I've written.

the people who literally write “orbs” instead of “eyes” makes me angry

*when you can't figure out a title for your fanfic*

I haven't posted fanfic in awhile, but to save my readers from pain I wrote out the whole fic before posting any parts. It worked out for the best for some fics I couldn't finish

I’m the one who has tons of ideas of what to write but I literally cannot write a good story so I settle for simpler ideas ✍️

"One-shot master" Listen. Listen. It's the only thing I can write, because otherwise, I don't finish.

When you wrote a fanfic suddenly you put a vocabulary you never knew.

I don’t write smut with a straight face. I write it at three am when my family is asleep and only god can judge me

This has reinvoked a fear of revisiting my old Wattpad. Last time I checked, people were still reading my god forsaken, unfinished [Name] X Reader fics I wrote when I was 11. I shudder of the thought that people are still writing compliments in the comment section of those.

"how do people write this with a straight face??" Oh Coley... *They don't*

You missed the "I spend hours creating the perfect music playlist for my fic and ended up not writing at all"

"And then they wam bammed thank you mammed" I CAN'T

She really be calling everyone out though 😂

"So why do you have poisons and types of gun in your search history?" *nervous laughter* "I... I write stuff."

I’m the “I have some plot ideas but need stuff to fill the rest”

Me: *sees that a fandom or story doesn’t have what I’m looking for because there’s either very little or they’re always poorly written* Me: Fine I’ll do it myself

“How do people write this with a straight face??” Bold of you to assume I’m straight to begin with.

The question isn't why the author loves to torture us... *It's why the hell do we put ourselves through the pain*

It's rare I see a platonic fanfic with one of the characters from the fandom I like so I started writing it and now I can't stop

"You'd be surprised at how intricate and fascinating the mafia network system really" Truer words never spoken

"How do people write this stuff with a straight face?!?!" Honey, bold of you to assume that I'm not blushing and dousing myself in holy water every two seconds

*that awkward moment when youre just an innocent baby-*

What's the scariest sentence ever? "I know about your fanfiction".

You foregot the one who can't find the fics they want so they just do it themselves.

My process of writing a fanfic: **Facepalms** "Is this realistic?" "Literally what the fck am I doing" **Searches up fandom wiki for how the character acts** **Laughs uncomfortably for a very long time** "You know, maybe this can just be for my eyes" **Starts over a thousand different times** "Why not just make this a oneshot book. Oneshot books can be just about one character, right? Yeah, they can." **Looks at other fanfictions for inspiration, just so I can feel insecure about mine** "Shit." **Deletes everything** _"I have an idea"_

Me reading a fanfic: "Wtf is this? Literally this is just trash??" *gets upset and decides to write own fan fic* Me a few days later: "well shit."

I'm that one monster that wishes there was more angst in those stories

The Hamilton song had me rolling

The “good noodle” is like what all the rest of the fanfic writers wish they would be like when it comes to updating stories 😂

How did you forget "he let go of the breath he didn't realise he was holding"?

One shot master is me, I find a new obsession every few weeks (rarely lasts for a while but some do, like the one I have now thats lasted 2 months) and I feel like I would have a million unfinished fics if I did multi-chapter ones

I just stared writing fanfic again and this really helped me understand my kinda of writing in a funny way, thank you!!

i'm the "i wanna write so bad" but stares at a blank doc for two hours before reading someone else's fic -writer edit: y’all???? thank you hehe uhhh i actually started writing again ;-; i’m really excited lol

“Can’t finish their wips”, “the researcher”, and “the perfectionist” hit way to close to home

What about the “has a fully fleshed out story in their head but can’t write it to save their life”?

It always be the good writers that never finish or be taking forever to upload the next chapter 😭😭

_"Has lost interest but keeps chugging on"_ *My actual life.*

"loves to torture their readers" "struggling" "only writes fanfic prompts and outlines" "can't write smut to save their lives" "never finishs their wip" "had lost interest but keeps chugging on" 'hasn't updated in literal years" "has simple taste" "the perfectionist" "the classic" Yep, seem pretty accurate.

The researcher one reminds me of me and my sibling writing fics... researching certain procedures and whether or not certain things happen when you get injured, they also did a whole big research deep dive on Stockholm syndrome and the emotional effects of abuse and kidnapping

You did not have to call me out so hard with the "Well that's not how law enforcement works" for the researcher

"how do people write this with a straight face?" We don't. At least I don't. I just randomly laugh to myself every fifteen minutes or so until it's finished and I can torture my readers with it :)

“Can’t write smut to save their life” shh don’t call me out like that

I’m the one that goes through it about two weeks later and laughs at it.

I'm the type of writer who loves writing the story and wants everyone to see it, but then goes on Wattpad/Ao3/Whatever to post the next chapter and chickens out.

"Loves to torture their readers." As a fanfic writer myself, who tries to give the best for my readers even if I have to stay awake all night, I just have one thing to say: *LONG LIVE THE KING*

You ever write a fic that hit way too close to home and almost cried or actually cried during the making? :')

I'm that one who writes several stories at a time, stops, comes back later, cringes because my writing style has changed, unpublishes all stories, works on a new one and pretend my old WIPs never happened 😎

I’m definitely the one who never finishes wip and struggles to finish a fanfic even though I lost motivation

People who can’t write smut and use “the dance without the pants” are honestly my favs

Is it weird to not read fanfic from the fandom that you are actively writing in because you are scared of stealing their ideas/dialogue by accident?!? Just me? Oh, OK then.

2:55 literally me today. I've just received a review for a fic I was writing in 2014 and never finished. I'm not even in the fandom anymore and I'm too old for this. Anyway I decided to finish writing it, wish me luck!

You forgot one: *The person who makes mental fanfics but never bothers to type them out*

"only writes fanfic prompts and outlines" "struggling" "can't write smut to save their life" "never finishes their wips" "the perfectionist" Oooff, the burn.

0:43 PLEASE- I LEGIT DO THIS FOR EVEERYTHING 💀

1:10 damn i'm the complete opposite, I can write like 10k+ words of pwp (not to mention with a poker face)

You forgot the writers literally incapable of oneshots. Author: I'll just write a short little drabble. *two minutes later* Author: *stares at 70k incomplete fic* Author: WHAT ELDRITCH DEMON HAVE I CREATED--

Don’t forget the “can’t write a fight scene to save their life” fanfic writer

I'm the "never shares her fanfictions because everyone will probably hate them" one

I started writing what might be my first serious actual fic that I’d consider posting and I realized I’d be the “torture your readers” person because I had an idea for a plot twist/change to canon that would potentially destroy me if I read it done well and probably would others too. So you know I’m gonna put it in there.

May I add: the one person actively writing non-crossover, well written fanfics who's keeping the fandom alive?

*reads a really good fanfiction* "I wanna write one like this!" *starts* "Three chapters up in 2 days! Yes!" *loses interest* *abandones fanfic" PROCESS REPEATS ~a few days later~ Wattpad friend group: *Begging you to continue* "It's so good!" "PLEASE DON'T DISCONTINUE IT." "I love your writing!!" *feels guilty* *uploads a chapter* QUITS

I literally CANNOT write smut even if my life depended on it, i just CANT 😭

3:41 *Me trying to explain why I know how weed works and why I know so much about persistent post-concussion syndrome like.*

"This seems to be a literal cliffhanger!" "Long live the KING!" Ladies and gents I present to you the Erins and the Warrior Cat fandom interactions after EVERY book so far in The Broken Code. We know who it is Erins. We know. Trust us WE KNOW. Just....JUST GIVE US THE 400 PLUS PAGE CALL OUT POST DAMMIT.

"Why do you write like your running out of time" Me: *dies of laughter*

I’m definitely a mix of “torturing the readers” and “never finishes wips” lol

As a fanfic writer, yeah this is entirely accurate.

I'm a mixture of: "can't finish their wips" "one-shot master"

“ How do people write this with a straight face?“ *we don’t. i tend to have a very bi-asexual face*
