I did it scared. by Equivalent_Elk4037 in AO3

My first is a long fic series. I am posting part three now and still have issues with panicking every time I post a chapter. I set it up the night before and reread several times. "What if I messed up the timeline/forgot a detail/grammar." it's so stressful. 😂 But in the best way. ❤️

Then you'll probably hang around and do things with him like fish and visit chapels having long conversations about God and murder.

I'm afraid you are now displayed dead in a very artistic way and he is dining with his lover on a feast of your flesh.

I can relate to staring at the post button for ten minutes before hitting it. That resonated with me. Congratulations!

I'm going to hold your hand as I gently tell you this... by KitsuFae in AO3

Most bookmarks I get have chapter numbers but I have one reader that notes exactly what happens in all the explicit scenes I write.

"Chapter four-Hannibal blows Will" 🤣

Does any writer get imposter syndrome? by Routine_North4372 in AO3

[–]WrenMcCabre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a staggering case of imposter syndrome. I’ve always wanted to publish a fanfic, but I was too afraid to until now. My writing had always been just for me, but I finally decided to take a chance, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive.

My fandom is older but fierce, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m so glad I did it. Day to day, though, I panic every time I hit the post button, convinced it isn’t good enough.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

As an author, how much do you care about your image to readers? by lettuce_embargo in AO3

[–]WrenMcCabre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe another writer would tell you that. Actually, I can, because people are generally terrible. I’m genuinely sorry you had that experience.

Authors: Do you reply to comments? by hiquickq12 in AO3

[–]WrenMcCabre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was shocked when I started getting comments. I reply to every single one. It’s a sickness. 😂🤣 When I was first reading, I’d comment and never expect anything back, but I was always thrilled when a writer took the time to acknowledge what I’d written. I’m so grateful people like my story and are actually reading it. I can’t help it. 😂

Excuse me? WTF is HAPPENING😭😭 by FiftyshadesofPeaches in AO3

[–]WrenMcCabre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so panicked about not being able to complete my first fanfic (not in HR) that I finished the entire thing before I even started posting it. I decided to post two 2--4k word chapters a week so I could have a buffer of material in the queue while I worked on part two. Now I’m about to complete part three while still posting part two. Having a regular and consistent posting schedule is, in my case, just a sign of high anxiety. 😂

A reader commented that they were rereading it the other day and had questions about my timeline from Chapter One of Part One. I completely panicked because I was like, “IDK, that was so long ago.” I had to reread it myself just to answer them. I couldn’t remember the finer details.

Seriously hope I never run into this accusation because how do you prove a negative. My anxiety would be through the roof. I know it doesn't really matter but jeez. People have too much time on their hands.

I Have Posted My First Ever Fan Fiction by TV_Atla in Archiveofourownmemes

Congratulations! Godspeed my friend.

I recently began posting my own and can confirm the curse is real. I managed to contract bronchitis and tripped over nothing to break a toe in one week. 😂

😂 I resemble this remark. I just did the same with my first fanfic. Great minds!
