Re: What Are Your Fanfiction Writing 'tragedies'?

[(Anonymous)]

I once called an OC by a canon character's name and didn't notice it for a good year. The OC was definitely related to the canon character but that was supposed to be part of the twist, lol. Oh well.

Running out of steam on a 100K+ WIP sounds familiar too. Goddamnit.

Another time, I wrote a backstory for a canon character, only for the creators to release the true backstory shortly afterward... oops.

I missed all the signs of a canon couple while writing my OTP at the time, and had to revise some stuff after someone clued me in... because I'm a ninny who tends to run canon-compliant. The fic turned out crappy, but I still like the idea of the pairing itself.

Also forgot to mention I wrote 33 chapters of another OTP then dropped it. I was one of those idiots who took fanfiction way too seriously and wanted to write a fic "correcting" all the shitty mistakes I saw other writers making, only to end up with a fic that was a caricature of itself. Serves me right, I guess. (Oh well, at least I made some lemonade from that lemon and wrote a shorter pairing fic that had a few writing issues of its own, but it moved faster and made actual sense, and ended on a happy note.)

Slight tangent so ignore if you want, the "taking fanfics too seriously" thing reminds me of when I was younger and the same.

I wrote a few fics to "fix" tropes I hated in the fics rampant in my fandom. Thankfully those fics have been eaten up in the bad library of old internet.

I had a friend too who was always super harsh on fic tropes she hated too. When she began fiction writing I didn't have the courage to tell her that her fics were a lot like the fics she hated

Just, yeah, taking fanfiction too seriously can make one a bit of a dumb dumb
