anyone have any advice on how to break a HORRIBLE, long standing writer’s block? 🙃

Try writing a topic you haven’t done before. Maybe sci-fi, comedy, tragedy; or your usual type of story in a different time period? A World War 2 or Roman Empire romance, maybe?

Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you aren’t a fish… or was that for hiccups? 😅
Sometimes I write a sentence and that’s enough or maybe somebody kidnapped your muse?

Nope. Good luck though! I’m sure you’ll crack it eventually and kick some literary ass!

To start a new story, finish one of the many WIP, or clean. Hmmmmmm.

Fell down the Tiktok FF/book binding rabbit hole last night. SMH. What is wrong with people?

Been reading up… and there’s authors deleting their stories due to the proverbial game of whack-a-mole, which AO3 makes this easier too with PDF downloading. AFAICT, the etsy/book-binding is like charging HUNDRED or more bucks for printed/bound copies of particular fanfictions, acting as the publisher. Yeah, this is pissing the writers off.

Rightfully so! I was offended as a reader – you, oh bottom feeders, are jeopardizing our “harmless” entertainment. Go away!
In our defense, downloaded from AFF is not easy. As a writer, I tried with one of my stories to take a red pen to it. NO DICE.

Getting high-priced lawyers involved is how you get the new rules around Star Trek fan-films (15 minutes max, no episodes, etc...), or the rights holder goes Anne Rice and prohibits all fanfiction with cease & desist orders. Anybody rich enough to counter with lawsuits is also well off enough to negotiate authorized derivative works, leaving the average fanfic writer high & dry. Hope those bottom feeders suffer from papercuts, lots and lots of vicious papercuts.
