In high school I secretly became obsessed with fanfiction. My reading habit was expensive at time, though I lived next to the library so that really cut down on my costs. Finding fanfiction was like diving into a weird, funny, wild rabbit hole that I've never truly found the bottom of or stopped digging down. Over the last 10+ years I've had at least six different accounts, published over 50 stories (only one of which was complete lolol) and had a top story view count of 300,000+ for a wild Harry Potter was abandoned in the streets and taken in by a small secret society functioning in NY. I was so obsessed with fanfiction that I would copy and paste whole chapters of content into the Lyrics section of songs I had on iTunes and upload that to my iPod so that I could continue reading stories without wifi when my family took me up to our cabin for the Summer. I didn't explore fanfiction in a communal sense until COVID19 got us stuck at home and I ended up being invited to a discord for authors and readers. lmao this was my favorite and longest living obsession.
Thanks for posting this. I've been writing fanfiction for just over two years and I can commiserate with those who've comented about popularity of a particular story. I have some stories that have 80+ reviews and some that have fewer than 10. I have to agree with Micheal though. I write what I want to see and hope others like it.
Oh my gosh thank you so much! I just made in account ever since I fell in love with fanfiction! Now I can actually write. I just hope my writing is good enough... Wish me luck!
It depends on where you are, I think. I'm not popular but I have noticed a pattern in reviews. When I submit a chapter at 12-3 pm, I get more reviews. It might be that it stays in the front pages of the categories longer.
@UmbreonAndEspeon1 first you need to have a documet (like a saved story on microsoft office word) then click "publish" and click "doc manager (upload)" save the document there then you click "new story" and publish it there. If you have more than one chapter then click "manage storys" and click the story you want then click "edit" and then "content/chapters" then "add new chapter" hope this helps you
@bakkahentai2600 iirc, its a very annoying ad. You just click the Skip Ad button in the top-right corner. I think there's also an ad blocker in the Help tab if it really irks you enough.
IT would probably be prudent to mention that you have to accept the guidelines first. Even though the site tells you that, it'll at least clean up any false impressions that they messed up something in the process. But nevertheless, good work on putting this up. Fanfiction is an art rarely come across. =D
I was able to figure out how to upload a ff on my own, but the site messed it up by combining paragraphs and making the last quarter of the ff all italic. I've tried updating it but nothing happens. Does it usually take hours upon hours to update or should it happen right away?
If you don't update in 60 days, it will be trashed.It doesn't matter however, as most of the time people have already published it or have a document on their desktop.
im saying this sarcastically but dose anyone else notice the whole you know new site lay out? every single tutorial is on the new lay out and i cant find where i post for the life of me. anyone else know?
i can't even get on! i've sighned up like 3 times and haven't gotten a response on my email account! i have so many ideas just waiting please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@WeLookLikeCookies err... you probably did something wrong, did you get a conformation email from fanfiction to say that your story is up? If not then there's defineately something wrong. Have a look at the guide to posting stories that fanfiction provides if you are still unsure.
whoever is watching this right now please help me save my document because everytime I've save it keep changing my words that I put I their all wrong.so please help me :'(
It pretty much boils down to luck at one point, meesa thinks. I've read some amazing fics in my days that weren't that popular at all. I recently started writing myself, and it's frustrating when you put a lot of work into something that not a lot of people read. But you got to ask yourself, do you write to get popularity, or because it's fun? Luck's a bitch that way. =D
does anyone have a free ccount in fanfiction net cause i have many ideas but dont have an account or can you help me create or can you create forme please need your help

The chapter part is really hard to figure out, yes I watched the video but still can't get it right.
Shesh! You saved me
Thanks for the help, and btw what song is in your vid?
+Da Kirisame magician Oh :3 didn't read the description lol :)
is posting a sotry the same way to make a forum cuz that's what I came here do learn was to know how to comment on a forum and make my own.
@bakkahentai2600 iirc, its a very annoying ad. You just click the Skip Ad button in the top-right corner. I think there's also an ad blocker in the Help tab if it really irks you enough.
when uploading a text file, can it be blank or little of words?

But nevertheless, good work on putting this up. Fanfiction is an art rarely come across. =D
so do i need something like microsoft word starter?
I was able to figure out how to upload a ff on my own, but the site messed it up by combining paragraphs and making the last quarter of the ff all italic. I've tried updating it but nothing happens. Does it usually take hours upon hours to update or should it happen right away?
This was very helpful!!!
I was just wondering... What's the song?
How do you make an account please answer I'm dying to know for like a couple of months now😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'll even subscribe to your channel!!!😭😭😭😭😫

Make sure you write the story a lot, because after 60 days it will be deleted from your stuff

If you don't update in 60 days, it will be trashed.It doesn't matter however, as most of the time people have already published it or have a document on their desktop.
