I really want to write fan fiction again but, I'm kind of bad at articulating and creating different scenes and I thought about using chatgpt and I know that's frowned upon but I need help writing lol. Need some advice.

Do not use AI. People look down upon it for a reason. People will always have more respect for genuine, clumsy first attempts at writing rather than someone who publishes what a machine spit out for them. AI is not your work, and you will not improve by having a computer do things for you. I am being stern here to strongly discourage you from Shit GPT. If you tell people in the author’s notes that it’s your first fic, or first fic in a long time, you may very well get supportive comments! If anyone finds out it’s AI, at best, you’ll get people clicking out of the fic because they don’t think it’s worth their time to read something a person didn’t even write, and at worst, you might get angry comments calling you a cheater, in a similar way AI “artists” do. Please don’t do it. You’ll only be hurting your writing and the progression of your skills.

So, what should you do? First of all, know where your strengths lie and lean into them, and know where your weaknesses lie. I’ll give an example. Readers of my fic can feel free to confirm or deny my self-assessment, but I actually don’t think scenery and that kind of descriptive writing is my strong point. I think about what the reader needs to know about the physical space in a scene, maybe little things that could add to the atmosphere, such as describing candlelight glowing upon someone’s face, and I move on. I make sure the reader knows what’s happening in the physical space so nothing is vague or confusing, but that’s about it. I instead focus my writing on the internal monologue/prose of the character’s emotional state and dialogue, because I think those are my strongest points. That’s what I can do well and what pulls people in.

How to create a scene to begin with? It depends on the kind of fic you’re writing, but most of my fics have started out with me thinking about the characters so much that different scenarios pop into my head, and eventually, one takes root; or I’ll watch a scene and think it would be interesting to explore if it had gone differently. My current WIP is at 65k words with 6 chapters, and it began with the simple change to one scene in canon: Aziraphale and Crowley not simply knowing each other in Heaven as angels, but having a romantic relationship. A starting point as simple as that can produce a lot. Think about what you actually want to say about these characters, what kinds of scenarios you want to see them in. You can even think of a type of fic you’d love to read, and instead write it yourself. You can start small! Instead of searching for a fluffy morning-after in bed, for example, write it!

Once you have a starting point, ask yourself what is the most realistic, in-character next step for these characters. Good fic relies on good character analysis. That’s how you make your fic in-character. I generally don’t plan out my fics a lot, and instead have a core idea and some future scenes I want to write, and I ask myself how these characters would naturally build up to those future scenes. Would it be natural for the character to say this? What would they do in this situation you put them in?

Lastly: the key to writing well is reading. This goes for all kinds of writing. Read widely, read often. It helps you expand your vocabulary and to see how descriptions, dialogue, and the structure of scenes and stories work in real time. I began writing as a young teen, and while I absolutely think my writing is better now than it was in my first fics published in 2014, I was able to write at all because I was such a voracious reader at the time. It’s also why I was a good writer in school, because reading helps you write multiple types of pieces.

I hope this was helpful. Also, at the end of the day, it is just fan fiction. It’s fine if it’s not perfect. Open up a document and start jotting down ideas or snippets of dialogue to get your brain started

I had a nice little chat in the comments section of the latest chapter of my WIP about why I changed the dislodge for the, “You go too fast for me, Crowley” moment, and I’m sitting here like, yes, please ask me about my writing choices, please engage with the fic 🐽🐽🐽

When will the s2 stuff happen in your fic? How long until then?

(Yes, please, send more asks about my fic, I’m starving for them)

The events of s1 begin next chapter. I’m not going to cover everything to avoid boring repetition, but there are definitely multiple important moments for their relationship that I can’t ignore, so that might wind up being 2 chapters? We’ll see. I want to write a little bit about the time in between the seasons, specifically during the pandemic (yeah, fuck the idea that they didn’t hang out together lol, Crowley will basically live at the bookshop then), and then move on to s2. There’s actually a bit less to cover in s2 than s1 because a lot of s2 was flashbacks, which I already covered in the chronological timeline of my fic.

So, chapters 7-8 will likely be about s1, 9 will probably have some pre-s2 stuff and the beginning of s2, chapter 10 will finish s2, and 11 onwards will be totally made up by me with post-s2 events. That’s the plan, anyway

Me, listening to the final scene of Sweeney Todd for the 5,000th time: wow Sondheim was so insane for this

I know this was probably just a joke, but I can't imagine misreading the characters (especially Mrs. Lovett) so badly lol

It’s amazing how a good 8 out of 10 of the posts about current events that come across my dashboard now got me like this:
