Wait, do people re-read their own fics after writing/editing? Why? You would already know everything that happens.

[vethica]

Sometimes people like their own writing.

[fingalsanteater]

Yeah. I do. I reread all my fics on AO3 like a month ago to remind myself that I don't suck as much as I think I do. (I was reading a fic that was poorly and annoyingly written and I thought seemed similar to my writing and I got nervous. It wasn't anything like my writing, I found, after reading my fics.) There's one I wrote that cracks me the fuck up so I reread it like once a week, I swear.

If knowing what happens stopped me from rereading things, I would not have books stacked on virtually every flat surface in my room.

[dancing_serpent]

I'm an avid re-reader/watcher. It doesn't matter that I know what will happen - surprise is not the main reason why I enjoy something.

[(Anonymous)]

You only watch or read things once? Ever?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah. The fics I write are some of my favorite fics in every fandom I've written in.

[(Anonymous)]

I re-read mine on occasion, usually when I'm in the mood for a particular trope and run across my fic in the character!whump list.

Also, my memory is terrible and I don't really remember my own fics that well. After more than 70 fics in the same fandom - I've mostly forgotten what happens in the early ones or the ones I wrote in less than 24 hours for a challenges or communities. It's fun to rediscover a fic I've forgotten.

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes, if you take a hiatus from writing, rereading can help refresh the story in your head and help you remember where you wanted to go.

[nyxelestia]

I often read/watch things I've read/watched before because I enjoy them - and given that I often write what I enjoy, that means re-reading my own writing.

Up until a few years ago, I also liked to read the comments on my stuff as a pick-me-up, but that pretty much ended when anti-concrit culture became the norm in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Because I write fic to fill holes in my fandom reading that I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

Besides, it helps me remember my writing "voice" if I've been spending too much time betaing for others. I start picking up their writing quirks, and sometimes it clashes.. dreadfully. So going back and reading my finished work helps me get back on track.
