Let's talk about fanfiction real quick, and more specifically the "reader" character and why I think it's absolutely genius.
You've created a premise, you've created a person to experience this world that you have created, then created the option for your readers to experience it one of two ways: as though it's actually them or as just another character. Literally that's amazing writing and an absolutely marvel of writing creativity.
In other stories, a reader could immerse themselves but there will always be that disconnect. In fanfiction, with "y/n" that disconnect is lessened or totally not there. And to be able to create a reader!character well is a sign of absolute mastery over writing imo.
Idk, the fanfiction community has me in a chokehold. I love y'all, keep doing what you do <3
One of my first real attempts at a poem outside of school. I'm intrigued to see what people think it is and what the general story of it is.
"You to me.
Was is meant to be.
Gone from me.
For all eternity.
Alone in the dark.
Trapped inside this mental ark.
With no end in sight.
I deserve no delight.
Around me bring nothing but blight.
My wings clipped, I can't take flight.
Never will I rest.
But I tried my best.
You with me.
It was supposed to be
For what I thought would be all eternity"
