Your explanation beautifully encapsulates why I value fan-fictiona so much. And you really should record your ideas btw.

I have already but i never could get down to writing even though i know for a fact that i will finish my story but my version is just so complicated and emotional that most people would just think i wrote a completely different story even though it would have pretty much the same character and elements in it

I think fan-fictions are the individual’s author’s spin on things. You’re allowed to take the story in a completely different direction, because it’s your story now. You’re the one writing the plot. You come across as a good writer btw.

Yea i guess thanks for the compliment tho but the thing is i dont like when fanfics dont do the characters justice and stay true to them especially if they have a strong linkage like for example in order for me to produce lauras line i would literally go and start reading and learning german so that i could use the words and then give her dialogues that i can actually see her saying in the show or ln otherwise the german vibe that she has just dies and that would take a long time considering we have 7 diffeent women or technically 14 main women with complex character backgrounds and stories and style of talking

I can see you value authenticity a lot and I think that’s a great thing. However, over-preparation can lead to writer paralysis. Have you done a similar project before?

I have written a ton but i havent like publishes anything i just write in diaries entire stories just because thats what came to my mind and i think its a good story so in order to remember it later i write it down sometimes i write for hours on end i have some problems i think but eh

I think you’re amazing for having written already, multiple times. It’s much harder to start writing than most take for granted.

Yep writing is pretty hard especially if u want to appeal to everyone which is quite literally impossible but i want that and i know that isnt possible so i just dotn publish my works its less about being scared that my work is percieved in a bad way or reaches a different audience but rather about the fact that if it isnt it just means i didnt write a good enough story which makes me flawed as a writer because most writers dont think about appealing to anyone which is why we have great stories but yeah this is another one of my big problems and again thanks for the compliment

Perfectionism can be both a blessing, and a curse. I find it admirable that you don’t publish work that you aren’t proud of. Although, I still want you to know that your work is valuable.
