Re: Fandom secrets you can't be bothered to make

This. I write both, and have written both for years. I've heard it argued that fanfiction is good practice for writing original and I think... well, only up until a point. It's as you said, you get used to sitting down and producing words. But there are a lot of skills original fiction calls for that fanfiction does not - or at least, not to the extent that original fiction requires.

Original fiction also doesn't rely so heavily on fandom specific tropes and pairings for popularity. You have to write an engaging story and make up your own engaging characters. You don't have fandom expectations and backstory to rely upon, or favorite ships to build off of.
