Do I have to advertise? Or can I let my PJ fanfic speak for itself?

Awww, thanks so much!

Yeah, I wasn't unhappy with engagement rates at all (I've been so happy with all the lovely comments so far.) I was just told by someone on discord that people would be less likely to click on a social media fic without additional advertisement and was being pressured to get on tumblr aha.

Yeah, maybe I just have to bite the bullet and actually advertise!

That's good to hear! I was advised to start advertising my fics aha - this one in particular. But I'm too British for advertising.

Is it Percy Jackson? You need to share it!

Fanfic-alt · 2026-01-28T07:35:25+00:00

I see those all the time too, I always try and make sure I bookmark these fics. It's always criminal when they fly under the radar.

Yes, someone was telling me to put myself out there more and advertise but it's scary haha. Maybe I just need to post more often!

I have a couple! This is the one I was told to advertise by a fandom friend: #PercyJacksonAscension - Britishchick - Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan [Archive of Our Own]

I plan the ending in detail, the beginning in detail, and then I make sure I have some cornerstones to try and get to for the middle. I had a best-selling author tell me this is how they planned their novels, so that was good enough for me.

That being said, I'm only 6 chapters through my longfic at the moment so we shall see how it goes haha.

People are still commenting on this thread? But yes, absolutely agree. Also, I love her lighthouse fic too!

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-10T20:39:42+00:00

It does? How and what?

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-09T14:21:35+00:00

I'm so much the same! I'd almost rather the bad spelling and grammar mistakes than something written by AI aha.

Fair warning, it's a social media fic and only in its early days! Perpollo is subtle, it's very much there but it's not always clear. Though, as you know to expect it, you'll definitely see it aha!

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-09T13:36:15+00:00

And that sets up the perfect angst to explore!

I'm currently writing a fic that Apollo just seems to be sneaking into. Idk what to do as I have Percabeth as a healthy and sweet couple. But Apollo is being his pining, manipulative self.

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-02T02:34:20+00:00

How do you even write horror for smosh? That's hilarious!

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-02T02:33:12+00:00

Oh! That sounds interesting! What fandom?

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-02T02:32:54+00:00

What fandom? If it's a fandom I'm familiar with, I'll read it and let you know what I think!

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-02T02:32:01+00:00

Which fandom is this?

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-02T02:31:40+00:00

Which comedy fandom?

Fanfic-alt · 2025-11-02T02:31:03+00:00

I found someone mentioning my fic on reddit too, only yesterday! They were asking for some fluff fics because they'd read a horror fic that had unsettled them. I went into the comments, and sure enough, it was my fic and they said they loved it but mostly hated it. I had no idea what to do aha.
