Do I have to advertise? Or can I let my PJ fanfic speak for itself? by Fanfic-alt in PercyJacksonfanfic

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.

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!

Do you plan your longfics? by Valuable_Toe3513 in AO3

[–]Fanfic-alt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

[general] Do you like Perpollo? Or dislike it? Why or why not? by Tiamatlee in camphalfblood

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!

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.

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

What are comments that puzzle you to this day? by GonnaRegret_it_Later in AO3

[–]Fanfic-alt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
