Re: Fanfic Writing & Self Publishing Advice (No relation)

There's no way it would work as a standalone, unfortunately. It's all just way too dependent on the existing canon's groundwork. And the canon I'm pulling from would be some kind of epic-length fantasy saga like LotR or ASOIAF if you tried to put it in book form.

I've only ever posted a couple of fics (though I have a lot of drawer fic). The last time I worked on something big I posted it chapter by chapter, but it didn't pan out and I never finished it and I still feel guilty fifteen years later about abandoning the damn thing. So this time I'm writing the whole thing out, or at least get enough done that whatever I post could act as a standalone piece.

Haha, sounds more like West Wing or some other sort of govt drama type thing to me! But there's nothing wrong with telenovelas, there's a reason every culture on the planet makes soap operas! They're entertaining!

Make sure you write at least an outline for those scenes you're picturing. I've dreamed up and forgotten so many great scenes and plot twists for my fic, all bc I was like "I'll definitely remember this later!"

Hey there's no need to decide how it ends yet! I'm a planner, but I know a lot of writers just let things develop organically. Your characters might end up surprising you. :D
