I kind of want to write a fanfic


Champion RD92

I kind of want to write a fanfic, but the problem is, I'm horribly unimaginative, and I'm not really that great of a writer. My spelling and grammar is pretty much flawless though, so I wouldn't have a problem with that. However, I really don't think I would be able to write a very good fanfic and I doubt anyone would really want to take the time to read it. I also probably wouldn't have the patience to even write it.

 

If I were to write it, I have kind of a vague idea of what the story would be. I would want to make it like a shipfic about my OC and Rainbow Dash. I would want to add some drama and stuff though, so I would maybe have him like cheat on Rainbow Dash with Rarity or something lol. Idk, I'm not very good at being creative :/

 

Maybe if someone who is experienced with writing fanfics could help me out or give me some advice or something, that might help.

As much as I would love to help, I'm trying to come up with my own ideas right now, and I don't ship much. Especially not shipping. But I'd be interested in the story if you do write it.

First-time stories are rarely going to be great. You might not think you're that great now, but what's to say you don't have the potential? Start small, end big. Even Twain or Hemingway had to start somewhere. And if you fail--who cares? It's a learning experience. Sometimes, failure is necessary to succeed.

 

Write something. Anything. Don't let your confidence stifle your creativity.

Lol I guarantee your going to write a little bit and then take a break for a while, and then when you come back your going to read what you wrote and be all like:  "WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING!  THIS IS SO BAD!" and out of embarrassment trash the whole thing.

First of all, NEVER write an OC x Mane 6 shipping story. Ever. It won't have good comments/critiques--many people detest these stories. Unoriginal, common, and cliche. You won't get good feedback. At all. Trust me, I've seen comments on fics like that.

 

I had a few tips written down for you, but...ah, I'll post them tomorrow.

The only way to get better at something is to keep doing it. If you never write stories, then you never will get better at it. I say go for it, who knows, maybe you'll end up being really good at it.

I've never written a fanfic in my life, how was I supposed to know that? :/

Of course you don't know, so now I'm telling you.
