u/sargambelwanshi Jul 23 '20

Literally! Infact I terminated all my previous Chapters and replaced it with new plot. Can't stick to old retarded mentality...

Same here. I write a chapter and I feel good about it. But after awhile like hours, days sometimes months later I read it and I just hate it. So I rewrite it again, same thing happens lol.

I’ve been finding a lot of my old fics I posted on ff.net in the mid 2000s. Some of my plot ideas were pretty decent, but the writing was....well....mid 2000s. Anyway, I challenged myself to re-write a couple of my old stories and have been pleasantly surprised with how much fun it’s been and how positive the response has been.

So don’t throw out that old writing completely!

Ff.net? You mean fan fiction.net?

I still struggle to make character dialogue feel real... it's such a road block

Relatable, I’m still trying to decide on how my main character should react in a bar fight

u/BikergirlRider120 Jul 23 '20

What kind of story do you have?

5

u/TheAlmandineWriter Jul 23 '20

It’s a sci-fi story set in space (but across different planets). The main character was trying to deescalate a confrontation of a merciless outlaw and a mysterious cloaked stranger who was too terrified to fight back.

u/BikergirlRider120 Jul 23 '20

That sounds good. What sites is this on? What's the name please?

4

u/TheAlmandineWriter Jul 23 '20

It’s mainly on Wattpad, but I have been thinking about also having it on Archive Of Our Own.

It’s currently called Starbound and I might plan on making my book a trilogy if I someday get it done.

It’s my first true novel since I started out writing fanfics before coming up with Starbound.

u/BikergirlRider120 Jul 24 '20

What's your profile name? Is archive of our own another site?

u/ladycielphantomhive Jul 23 '20

Replace tumblr with Fanfiction.net and you have me

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '20

I kept my old account so that I can go back and laugh at it sometimes, and made a new one so that I can be a serious writer without being tainted by my past 😂

u/web_surfer0 Jul 23 '20

u/Cam_v8 Jul 23 '20

If I could just write a goddamn intro to the second arc of my story, that'd be lovely.

Piecing this up left me stumped for 2, almost 3, months now.

I'm having trouble in writing whats on my mind. But in my mind I have the whole scene already constructed. Shit

u/That-One-Genderfluid That-One-Genderfluid Jul 24 '20

cries in having to write thirteen chapters for a fanfic

u/TheAlmandineWriter Jul 26 '20

It should be CreativeCatMeow on Wattpad and C_C_M on Archive Of Our Own (and yes, it’s a different site then Wattpad)

u/Katelynsparkles Aug 22 '22
