the biggest secret that Big Fanfic doesn't want you to know is that the best way to find fics you'll enjoy is to scroll through the bookmarks of a fic written by an author you already like. people gravitate toward fics written in similar styles, etc that they enjoy. so if someone's read your favorite author, chances are they've read fics that are similar to those written by your favorite author. if i get killed by Big Wattpad we'll know why

some of you guys didn't get this the first time around (understandable), so i'm gonna say it again:

> find a fic written by an author you like

> click "bookmarks"

> scroll through everyone who has bookmarked said fic

> click a random username

> search their bookmarks for [pairing]

> enjoy a bunch of new fics

For research purposes: please let me know how you feel about reading Fic in first person POV

For reference first person POV is just any fic where the narrator is a person in the story using “I” to tell the story

Please reblog for a wider reach!

reading/writing fanfiction about your otp be like:

there’s just some fics... they never leave u bro. i’ll be sitting on the toilet four years later thinking about the 94k enemies to lovers fic that captured my soul

im sorry but writing enemies to lovers on ao3 is so fucking funny. one of them will go a whole paragraph saying how much they hate, absolutely despise, have genuine burning contempt for the other and we’re all here knowing damn well that enemies to lovers tag is just sat there. like we already know what’s coming bro you’re just embarrassing yourself

Plot twist. It’s the same ship.

a short story

you ever read a fanfic and just sit back and think...someone wrote something THIS good... and then just....published it on the internet....for free.....

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes
