SA: Sorry- Cut My Post Off Early

Post your fic in the movie category, "all media types" would be secondary, and do not add the 'comic-verse' (for example) since those are a completely different set of individuals and not the same characters you are writing about. Also be careful about fourth-wall referencing, I'm not sure how to phrase this, but to use 'Gotham' as an example, it was a big thing in the fandom to ship both the characters and their actors. I had to exit out/pretend really hard sometimes when the author would try to cleverly adding in plugs by way of the RPF shipname and things like that. Basically try not to layer your fic with other forms of shipping that aren't part of canon.

Finally, know your warnings. If you're writing a multichaptered fic, have a plan! You don't need to have the whole thing written in its entirety (though that absolutely helps, and generally prevents stories to go uncompleted) but a basic plan where you know what you want to do with the plot and the characters/their relationships is kinda essential when knowing what to tag. (good tagging lets the people who want to read your fic know about your fic)
Parings. (if there are multiple than the main most focused on relationship first, be it platonic or otherwise, and followed by lesser relationships which take less screen time, and so forth) Triggers/Squicks, F!S has a list of them, tag what applies to what you've written. Theme. (angst, hurt/comfort, fluff, etc.) Leniency to canon. (AU's of any kind, established relationship when the characters aren't together in canon, future fic, and the like)... I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting, but you get the gist.

I'll cut this off now, since I already screwed up and have to double post, but basically so long as you're tagging and listing your story properly, are aware of who the characters are and how they act, and check over your work, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about!
Your skill of a writer can only improve as you continue to write, if you're worried about people mocking you, all you need to do is leave in an authors note that you would like to improve and will accept kindhearted criticism. (of course this is me putting words in your mouth, if you're not a fan/aren't willing to hear criticism please just disregard this) The want to improve, from what I've experienced is enough for your readers to take what you've written seriously. I know some dicks might crawl out of the woodworks, some intentionally, some not, but people are less likely to mock (or think about mocking) when they know you take your writing seriously and want others to do the same. (if that makes sense?)
