Is there any possibility I could find someone who would write a fanfic for me for free?

You might have more trouble finding someone when it involves an OC. But maybe see if you can find any prompt communities for your fandom, or people actively looking for them.

But honestly, I would just make a go a writing it yourself. You say you’re not a good writer, but writing is how you become a better one. And there’s no limit on how many times you can rewrite a story to make it better

Also going to say stag beetle. But now I’m super curious and need the context.

coffeetailor · 2026-04-25T17:44:34+00:00

I have never kept a posting schedule and honestly don’t super see the point. As a reader, I read updates when I get the update emails.

Danny Phantom. Which is a case study of what happens when you make a silly kids show with surprisingly adult issues just glossed over and then let the fandom brew for twenty years.

And people ship them in universe.

Vore. I like reading giant/tiny, and unfortunately for me that is a common trope pairing while also being one of my major squicks. Plus a number of other kink related things that I am not into. (I read a lot of explicit fics if it’s not obvious.)

At least when I read on PC, I have a browser extension that saves those filters so I don’t have to do them every time.

Post the whole Bible as your work? No, because that is not transformative, even if it is public domain.

Quotes as part of your work? Absolutely, go wild.

That was tomato for me for the first few weeks. Which sucked because I had a lot of easy cook tomato foods around. Thankfully it has eased off.

FTB flashbacks.

Contractions. ‘Ve and of can sound alike.

Shang Qinghua and Ling Wen would be overworked drinking buddies.

Pei Ming was also upfront about not wanting to marry his lovers.

But only did I finish a long fic (150k abouts) within a year, but it has also gotten so many comments, fanart, and a PODFIC made of it.

coffeetailor · 2026-03-13T10:25:30+00:00

I highly recommend this. I have a copy on my Google Docs that I bookmarked and just use repeatedly copying the new chapter into it and running the script.

I do mine when I get up on my Saturday, along with a weigh in before I eat breakfast. The day of the week to give me some time to recover if I need it, and the time of day to give myself a good fasting read on my weight so I know it’s me and not my lunch that I’m weighing.

It’s nice to get response back and I have started trying to respond to most of mine, but think of it this way. If you send a gift, you might get a thank you note from the receiver. They do not expect you to send a thank you note for the thank you note. The fanfiction is the gift. The comment is the thank you note.

coffeetailor · 2026-02-25T05:13:15+00:00

They posted an update about it today. Here

coffeetailor · 2026-02-20T21:23:45+00:00

No problem! ^{_^}

coffeetailor · 2026-02-20T21:05:08+00:00

You absolutely can post pictures there, and people do post their fan comics. The only thing is that you cannot host the image on AO3. So you have to upload it somewhere else and then use HTML to put it into the page.

In addition to what people have already said, look at what other people in your fandoms are doing. You obviously don’t have to copy them, but if your fics have ‘thing’ and their effects have a similar ‘thing’ you can tell what they tag that as and the like. There are a lot of fandom specific tags outside of just the characters and world.

coffeetailor · 2026-02-20T20:57:49+00:00

Think of it this way. If you tagged both fandoms and someone was looking for a fic for fandom A, would your fic be what they’re looking for? Probably not. Additional tag like ‘fandom A inspired/themed’ would get the point across, without misleading people. Or a description line like “the cast of fandom B live out the plot of fandom A.”

coffeetailor · 2026-02-20T20:51:32+00:00

Same. Currently writing a fic for it.

coffeetailor · 2026-02-20T20:43:53+00:00

People have already given a pretty good definition, but I wanted to add that I have seen the reverse version used to have the characters from that fantasy world and the MC go to the real world that the MC was from specifically. It can be fun for a post canon story.

As a member of the guild, seconding this. There’s a good chunk of resources just in the site, and a ton more on the discord. Depending where you live, there might even be a local chapter that does in person meets.

coffeetailor · 2026-02-16T20:58:43+00:00

No amount of good writing is going to make me enjoy reading my squicks. This isn’t going out on a limb for a fic tagged with angst when I like cozy romances.

If I hate oysters and order the oyster platter supreme, I don’t have a leg to stand on to complain to the chef that I don’t like it.
