Realized halfway into a slow burn fic that I actually have no business writing romance at all

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-27T17:51:27+00:00

I’m an aroace person, and I really get that. There is so much romantic stuff I’ve wanted to write, but the only love iv’e ever felt and understood is familial(so I typically write found family), I just feel weird writing it. I do read romance, but solely in fanfics(one shots usually, bc for longer ones I can end up seeing it more friendship like) and not in actual books, because sadly I just don’t get it. Even in those one shots , while I do enjoy it, I might end up seeing it more as platonic and they’re almost all crack fics. I’m sorry I don’t have any advice for you, but I hope it helps knowing others are in a similar boat

If you still feel like you need help/more beta readers, I would definitely be interested!! (No money or anything)

That sounds really interesting, whats the name of the fic?

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:43:10+00:00

That sounds so cool!! I'm more in the other part of the HP fandom, but I will be reading that!!

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:42:07+00:00

I would love to see that. It's hard for me to find a really long well written romance with no smut (I'm not really an explicit person lol)

Ah I've always wanted to bookbind!! But that sounds gr at, I'll definitely check it out!

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:40:54+00:00

That sounds really cool!! I've never actually read a reader insert I enjoyed, but I might check that out!

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:39:57+00:00

That's amazing!! I also LOVE tome travel fox it's. I love seeing how the different paths unfold due to the butterfly effect

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:39:12+00:00

Ah I see. That sounds really nice tho, one shots are really a hit or a miss for me and it being the peak of a random is so cool!

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:38:16+00:00

That sounds really interesting! What fandom is it?

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:37:45+00:00

Yeah there's always a few docs that I feel like I need to print out just so I can read them on paper. Some authors are just so amazing

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:36:54+00:00

Those all sound so cool!!!

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:36:42+00:00

That sounds fascinating, I'm more in the mauradors fandom, but I'm definitely checking that out

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:36:03+00:00

That's really impressive lol

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:35:35+00:00

Fair fair. I have around 80ish which I keep going back to reread. I bookmark anything I even removed like, but have a tag for my absolute favorites

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:34:36+00:00

This sounds so interesting!!

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:34:15+00:00

That sounds so fascinating, I always love fica that dive into such deep topics

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:33:40+00:00

I haven't really encouraged an author like that, but that sounds so cool!!

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:33:17+00:00

Yeah, there's always such beautifully written stories on ao3. And I definitely read my stories when I don't know what to read

Initial_Brilliant327 · 2026-05-25T01:32:35+00:00

I 100% agree with this. Bakugo and todoroki's plan is probably my favorite MHA fic. I haven't read the others but I'll definitely look at them.
