When does the path we walk on lock around our feet?

“Haruno-san, they’re ready for you.”

When does the road become a river with only one destination?

“We’re gathered here today to discuss what has become a glaring issue that can no longer be ignored.” Councilman Makoto’s hardened eyes scan over every occupant in the meeting room but they slide over Sakura as if she’s not there.

“It’s come to our attention Haruno Sakura that you’ve broken numerous codes of conducts as per our shinobi handbook of rules,” Koharu’s disdain rumbles in her age-roughened voice; around her various council members nod gravely.

In their midst sits the Hokage, grave in a way Sakura has never seen her. With her fingers steepled under her chin, and her gaze carefully shuttered, Tsunade appears to be the perfect picture of a leader.

“Rule 72: a good ninja must always prioritise his mission above all. Rule 34: a good ninja must kill his emotions and act only on the will of his village. Rule 89: a good ninja must always differ to the judgement of his team captain. Rule 11: a good ninja will never take decisions that could compromise the safety of his village. Are you not familiar with those rules, Haruno Sakura?” Makoto barks. He doesn’t slam his hand over the desk the way Tsunade might do in a fit of explosive anger but there’s enough fury in his voice to make Sakura’s finger twitch in the direction of her sword.

“Your actions have cost us greatly,” councilman Haru intones. “We have lost valuable intel because of your rash judgement. Your mission was to secure a scroll at all costs. Not only have you failed your mission objective, but you’ve compromised your whole team in the quest to save one person. What’ve you to say for yourself?”

Sakura stands under the stripping gaze of nine councilmen feeling naked. The mask clipped to her hip is a sharp reminder of how much she’d gotten used to being anonymous; just another bone-white monster killing in Konoha’s name.

Sakura bitterly reflects on where that has landed her and doesn’t deign the council with a response.

It turned out to be a hot mess, and hardly anyone reacted when it was posted.

I’ve been writing 7 years now and I’m considering giving it up. The love I had for it has almost completely dwindled. It’s like I can never get it right, like when I think I’m improving I’m really not.

About this chapter:

After I came down from my posting high, I cringed while reading it. It’s very slow moving, has info dumping, and is perhaps too boring. But now I don’t have the energy (or time) to fix it.

Overall I’m just really down about this. I thought my writing was good/better than it actually is. Oh well…

Hey, it’s you. Thank you again for getting me out of the game. And… my deepest apologies for my unforgivable behaviour earlier. I never thought that I could say such- uh, crude words. I think that this demon was already taking a hold on myself, I felt like I was not controlling my words, nor my body, for the matter. However… Somehow I do not mind. It felt atrocious, but… it felt like something. I felt alive. I-, I am sorry, this must be hard to understand. I feel like I just woke up for the first time. It is terrifying. To think that before, I wasn’t alive. And to think that now I am and I have to deal with the real world.

Bebop boop be!

Haha, right. Thank you for understanding… Well, I should go. If your girlfriend’s father is as, um, ‘severe’ as this demon described it, I shouldn’t stay around any longer. I am sorry I won’t be able to apologise to your girlfriend. Will you tell her I am sorry for my words?

Skedoo bip.

Heh, okay. Farewell, my friend. I now have to discover life.

I started writing a fic focusing on a ship. Recently new episodes have come out and I no longer feel the same love for the ship I did when I started my fic. I’m finding it harder to write the moments between the characters. So I’ve been focusing on other side characters and plots and now it doesn’t feel like the story I started. I take things really slow it took 17,000 words for the characters to get together. But recently I’ve done a lot of time skips and I don’t pay attention to detail like o used to. It feels so rushed. Whenever I’m writing it I’m always thinking about the stories I’d rather be writing. It’s not enjoyable anymore. But I feel bad about abandoning it because I know how frustrating that can be as a reader. People have been supportive even though I’m not the best at updating regularly it’s normally every few weeks. My story hasn’t got a huge following but the support people gave me was incredible and really helped me in so many ways. I feel like this is a sucky way to repay them. I don’t want 30,000 words to lead to nothing.

(I’ve never posted before sorry if I did anything wrong)

I feel like a lot of people find it pretty awkward if you kudos your own work with your guest or your other account. Am I wrong?

I’m a writer. But most of all, I’m a human.

In an attempt to combine these two things, I’ve got to consider the title of this post.

See, like many of you, I care about people. I think that every person has the right to live their lives happily so long as they are not harming anybody else. People can be black, brown, or white; religious or not; from wherever; liberal or conservative; and any sex, gender, or identity, and so on.

For me, if you are happy and are not hurting anybody, then you are cool. I try to show all of this in my writing by including POCs, different genders, differently abled, etc. I’m still new at it, but I try.

It would be easy to write about only straight white, cis, non-disabled, American people, like me, but not everyone is straight, or cis, or white, or American, or able-bodied, now are they?

So my question (finally!) is this: at what point is ‘trying,’ 'trying too hard’?

I ask because I headcanon the main character that I write about as being Jewish. I don’t know why, that’s just always been stuck in my brain. Because of this, I’ve learned a lot about the Jewish people and their history. This had been incredibly interesting and rewarding … and disturbing.

Since I write modern AUs, this history is relevant.

So how much is too much? I don’t want to drag up a soapbox and preach at people in my fics but I also don’t want to skirt around a topic because it’s difficult to read about. I rather hard-headedly want people to acknowledge this stuff.

So if I want to have a trans character, is it annoying to show the horrific prejudice they face? If I have a Muslim character is it distracting to have a scene in a mall where she’s harrassed for wearing her hijab? If I have a Jewish character is it tiresome to talk about how his grandmother survived the Nazi death camps and how he remembers her having a fucking number tattooed on her arm?

So what’s the inflection point for you? When does inclusion become “Oh, honey, just no …”?

Self-Inserts too, of course, haha.

I started a fic on Wattpad and then forgot about it (I moved to AO3) for a couple years only to return to see three THOUSAND views, 432 votes and 313 comments??? INSANE??? I’M CRYING THAT’S SO MUCH WHATHJDGSF

Guess I’ll have to complete it now :’)

It’s literally the first time anyone has read my work and I can’t wait to finish it. I’m also kinda nervous because I don’t want to dissapoint the reader if it doesn’t come out as expected. I’m going to get started on it this afternoon and try no finish it by Monday at the latest. I don’t think anyone will read this or will care, but I wanted to get it out there. :D

Fanfic is when you love the created world so much that you just need more!

BUT

Do you have some fandoms that you will never touch, because the original has such a place in your heart, that no matter how good the fanfic, you don’t want canon meddled with?

A huge fan I mean you’ve watched/played something countless times; you’re maybe an active part of the fandom (or at least sunk hours into reading fan wiki/discussion threads/watching fanarts etc) and, in general, someone could wake you in the middle of the night and ask about an obscure detail and you’d recite it off the top of your head?

Or maybe you just watched/played a game and you liked it, so you said “might as well write for it?”

Or a little bit of both?

I was looking back at my works and my main fandom is the one I’m obsessed with (I’ve sunk 2k+ hours into Mass Effect trilogy; know every little nook and cranny of the fandom; take active part in fandom spaces; forced my friends to play, so I could talk with them about it—don’t worry, they actually loved it lol)

…and then I also wrote 4 fics for Far Cry 5 which I didn’t even finish because FPS shooter games bore me to death it appears, but the villains were cool, so I wanted to write about one of them lol.

What about you guys?

I had a flash of inspiration so I wrote instead of doing math, and I realized that there could be more to that story, so I posted chapter 1 of the first multi chapter fic I’ve done in years. I tend to be very anxious about my writing and that makes anything other one shots difficult because the longer something is, it feels like the more there is to be done badly. It won’t be a long fic, only about 4 chapters, but I felt good about it and wanted to share.

Why does most people in wattpad like to put character bios before telling the story/fanfiction?

Like whenever I found even an oc driven fanfiction, writers tend to put character bios before going on to the story. It kinda removes the mystery of the oc and what makes him/her ‘special’.
