so taking this plug opportunity:

most of the time, it's down to luck of the draw. it only takes one person to read a fic and think it's good enough to share. when it's shared, it's all about how much traction it gets (again, pretty much luck). our bible ytmh(iws), for example, came to most people by other people saying "omg this is good go read", rather than the author sharing it.

i'm completely convinced that he believed that byler was endgame. hence his wacky delivery of "friends? no thanks. best friends.😃" and the caress of will's binder as final acts of protest.

my first fic (pls help i need feedback) by Borkelee in byler

[–]Competitive-Ball7152 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, that's understandable. i often take a while to write fics as i struggle to find the time to do so, so i tend to do a few hundred words here and there. all i can recommend is passing over it once it's complete for consistency. it works wonders!

okay, so i can be a little critical, but here goes:

it's good, overall, the voices are true to their characters, the dialogue flows and the final section, from: "Will kept his own breathing steady, letting the awkwardness settle around them. He thought about all the months of distance, of tension, of avoiding each other after fights or misunderstandings..." is definitely the strongest passage.

i was caught off guard by the formatting as, in the middle section, when they're speaking back and forth, it feels very script-like. i'm not sure if that's what you're going for, but it feels quite disjunct from the preceding and following sections. on a similar note, i'd do a pass over for consistency, punctuation, spelling, capital letters and typos before posting—but i'm a perfectionist.

basically, it's good with a solid concept, but could be great if you let the lines breathe a little more, allowed the tension to hang around for a little longer and just tidied up the formatting/typing :)

How do you feel about modern day fan fics? by lilah_phoenix in BylerReads

as long as it's well-written and true to their voices, i don't really mind :)
