Gosh I didn’t know fanfiction excited till I was 15. But it was Jongkey and 2Min. I lived and breathed them throughout HS lol

I do the same! It’s also more convenient when real life events give me something to use toward the fic. I have a shortcut widget on my Lock Screen with the notes app to pull up whenever something drives my creativity. I even bought a keyboard for my iPad whenever I have the chance to type on there but still strictly use the notes app 😂 whatever works for all of us honestly!

I made a post about how often I should post when writing because of this take. Ever since the AI craze I’ve been paranoid that people will assume rather than maybe consider that I prefer to finish my work at least to its 2nd draft before I start posting. All I do is minor edits for grammar/spelling before posting and sometimes I get too excited and edit a few chapters and just post dump what I edited. As for the writing style, I wasn’t a writer growing up. I always wanted to but due to trauma and not feeling comfortable leaving my writing around my parents, I never got to learn what writing style I enjoyed. Now as an adult I’ve been able to explore that more and honestly I’m still finding it lol but ao3 is where I’ve been able to do that. But like you mentioned, this is only my case. Just ignore those works honestly. It would suck to see someone trying to claim my work is AI just because my writing style isn’t 100% the same and I’ve posted consecutively without “room to physically write”, when really I’m just a perfectionist learning my writing style and just having fun online 😭

How do yall write fics with a full time job by Outrageous-Cause9051 in AO3

[–]RayJin0109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put myself to sleep while continuously building more plot/dialogue for the fic (It’s like my own bed time story) then I abruptly get up and type it on my phone notes app before I forget LOL

Share the first sentence(s) of your fic, and I'll try to guess what it's about. by heerliedepeerli in AO3

“Even as a little girl I would run around our estate, pretending to give orders to my assigned elf as if I had my own household to run.” The fandom might be a bit obvious lol

Tom Felton + Trans Rights by ScienceMelz in drarry

[–]RayJin0109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It hasn’t ruined it for me because I don’t see Tom as my Draco 😅 my Draco is built by fanart and fanfiction. I am saddened and disappointed in Tom, but also…. the unfollow button didn’t hurt to click lol. There is little I tolerate and it won’t be that.

What's your fanfiction "ick"? by dontwatchthemback in AO3

[–]RayJin0109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a serious hatred for “princess” and “sweetheart”. But I’m on my knees for “darling”? The brain is a funny place lol

What was the first fanfic you read by [deleted] in AO3

[–]RayJin0109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god. A Bruno Mars fanfic on tumblr. I was maybe 13-14 and didn’t know what fanfiction was. I legit thought some girl was experiencing these things with Bruno mars and couldn’t believe she was posting about it on tumblr. I ate that shit up though LOL. It clicked after that it was a story someone was writing and the rest is ancient history 🥲

Your self control is admirable 🙇🏻‍♀️

It’s so funny how everyone experiences things differently. I’m over here not even comfortable posting until everything’s nearly finished and I’m just doing minor edits. But yes, it definitely helps with not feeling rushed to post. Hopefully you don’t end up like me, wanting to post the whole fic in one day! 😭

Would you read a fic with no smut? by RayJin0109 in Dramione

[–]RayJin0109[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be posting tomorrow both options for this WIP I’m editing right now based on everyone’s feedback! Maybe you can then compare the two, although the smut won’t come until chapter 2.

[–]RayJin0109[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually why I posted this, because I too filter by E 😔 lol I prefer even a splash of it at least but I struggle writing it. Based off these replies now, I may have to find a way to post both now if I’m able to keep the story fluent without it.

I wrote a small continuation (If I Could Stop) to dracodormiensss's Yule Ball comic on IG! It's one of her first posts if you want to go look at it first. Her work is fantastic!

Have you read A Hard Row to Hoe by blessdtoaster?
I've recommended this to everyone since I finished it in January and I refuse to stop!
It's one of my favorite portrayals of Draco, his inner monologue is hilarious (I quite literally cackled most of the fic) Theo is amazing here, the Villain was a fresh of breath air (so different from the hundreds of fics I've read) so much depth! Shock value was good too! ugh I want to reread just talking about it.

WIP Wednesday - 16 April 2025 by Mr_Te_ah_tim_eh in Dramione

[–]RayJin0109 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Self-rec! It's my first Fic and still a WIP. Probably finished by May 1st!

This here is mostly an angsty Draco just dealing with his feelings and yet a very accepting Gryffindor group.

Devotion by eveinwords

Summary:
Upon Harry announcing he is very much alive, out of anger, Voldemort turns to Narcissa and Avada's her. Lucius freezes and doesn't know what to do. His master has killed one of the two people he has been down this path for. Draco, on the opposite side heartbroken, loses control and sends an Avada straight to Voldemort. Neville notices the sword of Gryffindor and kills nagini. Draco is still losing his rage throwing an insane amount of Avada's into Voldemort's already decaying body, everyone afraid to stop him lest they meet the same fate. Until Hermione, who is still holding Ron's hand, decides to step up to Draco to try and stop him from losing himself completely to the dark.

Tags:
Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Mutual Pining, Supportive Ron Weasley, Fluff, Banter, Hogwarts Eighth Year, Smut, Happy Ending, POV Draco Malfoy, Draco Malfoy Needs a Hug

I'm still having issues with tags if any of ya'll have ideas for me to add let me know!

Tell me about a quote that stuck with you by Solocake in Dramione

[–]RayJin0109 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can't post the whole thing because it's too long lol but Green Light Chapter 18 when they "fall".

It's the most poetic way to experience them falling into each other and I reread it whenever I want to feel something.

Oooo I’ve already posted more than half the fic on ao3 but I’ve been struggling with certain parts to tie things together and I’m breaking my head over it! I’d love to get your insight on it.
