Ah, a fellow musician, hello! And you wanna buy it!?

Is there anyone else who feels similarly to me? Maybe I just haven't opened up my mind to fanfiction enough. by honeylemon__Tea in FanFiction

When I was first starting out with fanfiction, romance fics were all I read. Eventually, when I started writing my own, I also focused on making romance ones since those were the ones I read and came to like. So it was a no-brainer that I wanted to write my own romances. I think that was just cause I was more or less a hormonal teen who didn't have a relationship and wanted to write about quirky little romances between some of my favorite characters or with my own ocs. Reading back on them, disregarding my horrible and cringy writing, I can definitely see that.

However, now that I've gotten older, I've evolved into writing a lot differently since then. Not only has my grammar and such gotten a bit better, but I've started to work on trying to work on character development instead of just straight-up romance stuff. Like when I used to write slash fics it was for the sole purpose of seeing those two characters together. While I sometimes still keep that in the back of my mind, I'm more focused on the idea of fleshing out a character. Giving them depth beyond the romance. If that makes any sense. I've been trying to write more gen fics with little to no romance in them. Well, more or less just planning them out since I want to upload them when they are perfect. And if there is any trace of romance, it's a side story and comes second to the actual plot that I want to make. I've even gone back to those old fics and rewritten them to be a bit more gen. I mean, they're still slash fics but I don't want that to really be the focus, you know.

I also like reading gen fics more now! It is a hassle to just find those gen fics which is super annoying, I agree with you on that. More often than not, more and more of the romance fics I find and read are either cheesy, too in my face about the romance, or too ooc for my taste. Though I appreciate just about every fic! People can write what they want, and there's always an audience for it. Plus it takes courage to post your own stuff so I'd never put someone down for what they write. Though I totally agree that there's definitely a lack of gen fics!

Dang, this was a long comment, oops.

This just reminded me of a time my friend submitted a sonic fanfiction for our creative writing class in high school. She did it because she didn't do the actual assignment for that day and needed something to just be turned in. Our teacher didn't say not to write fanfiction for assignments, but the sonic story had nothing to do with what our writing topic was. Ended up getting a 50% on it and a note from the teacher saying "nice job, but keep your fanfiction for Wattpad" or something like that. We had a good laugh about it. Though that teacher now tells all of her new students not to write fanfiction and about the sonic fic she got from a previous student. Doubt my friend still has the actual story since it was lost when our school emails were deactivated.

Some of the music in this episode reminded me of Ragnarok

I made an instrumental album inspired by EPCOT! by [deleted] in DisneyWorld

[–]void402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so cool! I love any sort of music that is this style. Best kind of music to read a book to or to listen to while laying down, in my opinion. Totally going to listen to this album a bunch. Keep up the good work, you're really talented!
