You ever just throw a story together? · 4:20pm Aug 22nd, 2021
Sometimes I feel like I'm working at McDonald's when I'm making these fanfictions. It's like a fast-food item I just throw together at you. Sometimes I just can't seem to hold back, and stop and think for a moment. There are a few stories I had made in the past that I wish I had made longer.
I even looked back on some of my older stories and I see that I've made mistakes and fixed them up years later.
Yeah, I usually don't even think about what I'm going to write or even a real story outline to go off of.
And I don't give a damn what people think about my stories, they don't know how awesome my stories are!

I care sometimes. I sometimes get an editor/co-writer to help improve my work. Since I know I can be a bad writer at times.

Cool
I’ve got plenty of ideas in my non publish stories list. The idea just comes to me in my head and I’m like;

But, will I ever publish it? Who knows. I’ve still got my other stories to finish.

Same here. Some stories have been sitting in my google docs for years. Some I even dug out of my google docs trash.

The problem I have is finding the time to put the story into action. Eventually, I know I’ll come round to looking at it and then find the motivation to jump on that train to get the story going and then I’ll just lose the time due to circumstances.
Sometimes whenever I get a story idea I write it down first and come back to it later to see if I can expand on that idea and make it into a legit story.
Depends on what you're asking.
If you mean, whether I just sat my ass down and decided to write some crap in one go based on an idea I had, then... yes. It happened once... My first story was sort of successful, so driven by naive enthusiasm and the fact that it was the Christmas season, I decided to quickly write a one-shot Christmass spinoff. This... abomination was the result:
- MLP: FiM
- Slice of Life
Hearth's Warming Eve is coming, everypony is happy... except Luna. Certain human have a little idea, to cheer her up...It never happened, again
If you're asking whether I ever had this moment when an idea for a story struck out of nowhere... That happens all the time. I got a few dozen such ideas in my file.

Seems like a good idea.

Yeah, hard-luck man.
I feel giving your story a read nonetheless.

Trust me, it's not worth it. I only keep it around because I'm against deleting published stories on principle. But this thing is just... meh. A waste of time.
But at least it pushed me to start reading the books about writing. In retrospect, THAT helped a lot.

Oh, you.
You seem to have more professional conduct than me. I have made some really.... really fan fiction over the years. Granted some of them were done deliberately bad. Er.... a lot of them.

It can help remind you of your past mistakes. Which is good.
