    You forgot the writer that starts writing because the fandom doesn't write the fic they're looking for so they do it themselves

      sounds like you probably need to make character bios. That helps you draw connections between different facts about a character, so that you can extrapolate information about how the character might behave sexually from the facts about them that appear in the source material.

    OH. MY. GOSH. There was this AMAZING Loki/OC fanfic back on Tumblr. The author had wrote multiple chapters and updated twice a month. Then it dwindled to once a month due to her being busy. No big deal, completely understandable. Then, after quite some time on hiatus, she posted that not only was she not finishing the fanfic, she was taking it off the internet because she was changing the character names and publishing it into a novel. Okay, I was a bit sad but happy that she was publishing. I could always insert Loki and the OC's name in when I read it in book-form. I immediately signed up for her emailing list so I could buy the novel when she published it.
    It's been 5-ish years and I've never gotten an email. I can't even read the old chapters because she deleted them. I'll never know what happens to Loki and his wife, or why she had magic, or what the necklace did. It was a slow burn romance and I really loved both Loki and his wife despite their character flaws. It was one of the best stories I have ever read and it's just...gone. 😢😭😭😭😭😭

      Not gonna lie I tried to write and read smut (out of curiosity) and it did just not work. I couldn't take it seriously. So I stick to writing animal fantasy books. But I suspect one of my stories will still not be appropiate for smaller children. There will be themes of war, and oh no, abuse! A scene where a character is suicidal too, and just plain old pain. I love torturing my characters! Don't worry though, the main characters will end up happy.

      Wait... is it possible to be both? How can you have a WIP one shot, unless you just don't ever post it?
      Sorry, haven't really read much fanfiction, especially recently, so I wouldn't necessarily know. Why am I on this video..? Um. Honestly, I don't know. I'm also subscriber to a historical fashion youtuber, and a hunch of book tube channels (I don't even read YA fiction much), and... I don't know why. Sometimes people are just entertaining.
      Also you probably never even wondered why I was here; that's just me trying to justify it to myself.

    . The quote/lyric borrower
    . The distracted one/procrastinator
    . VAMPIRE FICS! VAMPIRE FICS EVERYWHERE!
    . WEREWOLF FICS! WEREWOLF FICS EVERYWHERE!
    . The journal writers
    . Proofreads all fics apart from their own
    . Inspiration from a picture/fanart!
    . Only writes when drunk or stoned
    Edit: And who could forget, the one who spends most of the fic on the front cover, as well as thinking up titles rather than writing!
