Writing Fanfiction by Hand

[(Anonymous)]

Does anybody else do this? I currently have about five notebooks full of fics that I keep meaning to get round to typing up, but at most while I re-read them I just write in edit notes with a different color pen like I'm my own school teacher.

I can't get to a computer during the day and by the time I do - I just manage to forget or run out of time to type it up before going to bed. But I've been taking notebooks with me for any time I've not able to focus on a book during a break, and just either write more chapters or re-write part of a story.

I used to, back when I was still living at home and we had no internet and the ancient computer didn't have Word. I would write it out in a notebook and then whenever I got a chance to go to the library I would type it up and post it on ff.net immediately. As soon as I got my own laptop with Word I never wrote any fic by hand again because it took so damn long to transcribe it tbh.

Oh my God. What a throwback! My first fics were written on paper (with pencil, however one was written in pen). The last one I wrote on paper...was almost 15 years ago? When I was about 15? Lol.

But I like the idea of going back and writing them in a notebook! These days I just write them on my phone using a word processor app. I used to write them on the computer, but that's time consuming and the phone is quicker on the go/I always carry it with me. Looking back, I always used to read fic on the computer too. Turning fic into PDFs has really changed how I consume fic...but I digress.

The most I'll write on paper might be a few lines of dialogue I want to incorporate later, or bits of a scene. Maybe I'll go back and handwrite. It's a completely different beast, looking back. Makes me a bit nostalgic :)

I do that too, particularly for first drafts, I find I don't let myself get stuck trying to edit and write at the same time that way. And there's something I really love about just sitting down with a notebook and pencil to write.

Hehe, way back in the day when my internet access was limited.

I do this too anon. It's one of my small pleasures in life. I work on a computer all day, so it also helps me to be away from a screen.

I used to, way back in the day before I had a phone or the Internet. I used to carry around notebooks and just stream-of-conscious wrote anything that came to mind. I had roughly 10-15 notebooks, and even a few journals, full of weirdness only kids could think up. One notebook in particular even had a 20 page story about lizard people in it.

Oh man, long ago I did. Very, very rarely, I'll do it if I'm in a setting where typing would look like I'm not paying attention but writing looks like I'm taking notes. And no one can see what I'm writing.

I do, I do! I have a job where I sit around all night, so when it's dead I write in a notebook, either story ideas or journaling. I usually transcribe everything onto my computer when I get home, though.

I used to do this back when I first started writing fic. I came across one of my notebooks from back then and nearly died from cringing so hard, but it was a nice little reminder that I've worked hard on improving my writing (though my handwriting has gotten way shittier). These days, I use mainly my computer, but I'll write out ideas and lines of dialogue in a little notebook I carry around.

I used to when I was a student, sitting bored in the lesson theater an/or getting overwhelmed by IDEAS WRITE NOW and using the margins and the back of my textbooks.
(I don't know if it'll freak out US people less or more to know that the textbooks were free.)
