What makes a fic worth reading?
Aug. 5th, 2021 10:31 pmThis is really a question for anyone and everyone:
I've had quite a few thoughts and discussions lately about reading and writing fanfic, and I was just looking over my wips and wondering, how do people decide what fics they want to read? What makes readers keep reading, or stop? At the end of a fic, what feeling would you have that would confirm to you that it was a fic worth your time?
If you are a writer, are there any things you do to make your fics appealing, engaging, and ultimately worthwhile?
