Re: What kind of advice about fanfic do you wish you had gotten when you started out?

[dani_phantasma]

Don't take the words of one single person as gospel.

So when I was a younger writer, I held everyone who I thought was better or more experienced on a pedestal. I had this story idea, that required knowledge about Victorian England and a gender role swap sort of thing. So I asked someone in a roleplay I was in for help. they gave me a bunch of useful tidbits and then when asked I told them about my idea. When I told them about it they told me very firmly that my plot was bad and I should write something different.

According to them an original temporal-fish-out-of-water story with a (somewhat explained) magical plot was exactly the same as dropping self inserts into an established canon through a plot hole, and I needed to totally scrap it. They convinced me to write something that was completely different, that I ended up losing inspiration for and leaving to sit for a while.

Years later I looked back on it and the memories came back. I was annoyed at them for twisting my arm into changing nearly everything in my story. But mostly I was mad at myself for letting them.
