why do you say that you're average/mediocre? what do your readers think/comment on your work?
from my own experience, i always thought i was substantially subpar compared to my favorite fic writers, but the response i got from my readers was generally more supportive than that.
holy what, around 150k worth of fic omg....

anons on birth control, do you still use condoms?
oh i don't really compare my writing against what comments i receive say - i compare it to the writing resource blogs i follow and what they say about writing. idk i guess i look more into writing as a story telling device master scientific formula of ultimate possibilities. aka what the hell am i even talking about i like the technical aspect and i guess i should focus more on the romantic aspect of writing. aka what the hell am i talking about.
it's a good fic but it's really really really really long (which is why i don't think i ever finished it lol)

so, do you see yourself as mediocre for fic standards or general lit standards? because obvs there's a difference between the two. which isn't to say that fic writing can't hold up to literary standards, but i think it's generally accepted that there's a lower standard for fic.
star trek fandom is replete with talented writers capable of mind bogglingly lol fic. how do they do it....

honestly yeah. i doubt myself a lot and have periods of rly low self-confidence but at the same time i can think i'm awesome lol. i feel that i am a 'solid' writer so to speak. then again part of why i like my writing is probably because i write things and have a writing style that i enjoy and prefer. others might not at all think i'm that good, but i don't think they'd think i suck either. that's what the 'solidness' is about. IDK i even making sense? i feel bad for being cocky even if we're all anon u_____u
isn't it supposed to feel better without one tho?
I don't consider myself a goodfic writer, but I don't think I write badfic. I actually think a few of my fics are pretty good (and this takes a lot from me cause I think nothing I do/produce is good) but I guess I mostly dont consider myself a goodfic writer because I don't get the kind of comments, or have people talking about my fic, like known goodfic writers do? does that make sense, idek ;;
I don't have any specific fic links for her but I consider coyotecolored a goodfic writer!
and this shinee fic is an example of a fic I think is good and really enjoyed (and how I wish I could write): http://pateshie.livejournal.com/4617.html

why would it be delusion to think that you are good? bec you aren't good? everyone have things they can improve on. i think it might as well be delusional to say that you aren't good, bec we can be so good at bringing ourselves down. "good" is such a loose term lmao, it's about comparison and general mindset in life and, idk, i think one should be more careful with calling themselves not good. idk what writing resource blogs you follow but maybe you should be careful with using that as your frame of reference?
I probably should, but I don't. me and my bf are monogamous. if I had multiple partners, I'd use condoms.
in my experience it makes little difference for me, but for the guy it makes quite a difference
if i was going to hold my fic to a lit standard i'd prob have to say poor lol bc i've only written 2 that i consider to have a good intro to conclusion storyline, while the rest are just stand alone stories. i'm still standing with mediocre for fic writing bc i guess i do compare the things i've written to writers outside the kpop fandom that have more experience than i do and i admire lots of aspects in their writing that i see myself lacking when i edit and reread my writing. honestly i've even written out a list of things i should improve on gradually as i continue to write (for however long that will be!)
have you ever had any pregnancy scares?
lol sorry for sounding so creepy. i've been thinking about it recently and instead of trawling the internet for the right forums, i'm asking here haha

tbh i think my fic is pretty good, or at the very least i'm not ashamed of most of what i've posted and would stand by it. but the top tier of writers who i like for their writing alone (windowright, colorfunk, gdgdbaby, qp) is more than just "good" to me, and i definitely would not put myself on that level.
i don't read fic so i can't really give an example. partially bec concentration issues + i read rly slow and there's other things i'd rather spend my time on. but even with fics i enjoy i always manage to find something they could have improved and tbh i sort of tend to stay away from goodfic writers and bnfs bec i don't like feeling inferior lol :I i can get so bitter and try to pick out all the small bad points from a good fic that i feel it's not rly worth it.
aww, anon i totally get you!! tbh, i only figured out that people considered me to be a good writer because of the meme. i got like maybe six-seven comments on average for my fic and the comments, while positive, were hardly ever substantial. that's always been one of the things i hated about kfic fandom bleh
oooh, thanks for linking that pateshie fic anon! i miss shinee goodfic ;__;

when i was on it i still used them most of the time, even with the same partner. i did feel a difference though with and without
not any proper scares, I've gotten paranoid because I really don't want kids, but that's it. The birth control I'm on means I don't even have periods anymore. but I do use condoms if I might forget a pill, or when I'm on other medication that can nullify the effects!
lol it's perfectly fine, you don't sound creepy! I don't mind talking about it!

that's a really great idea, anon! i think i should do the same lol
also, you sound a lot more prolific than i ever was, so i tip my hat off to you for not settling for what you know you can do and for always trying to be better.

woah i didn't think that saying how i perceive my own writing would incite such passion! it's just how i personally feel and it's exactly like you said about how it's a loose term. my definition of good probably isn't the same as someone elses and i'm not really good at explaining how i view it - unfortunately i'll never be able to give you a straight answer. and i don't feel myself by saying that i'm an average writer is putting myself down lol it's actually the opposite and is helping me to improve myself! maybe i am a backwards thinker, but i'm glad that you have such thoughts on this subject.
the writing resource blogs that i follow are resource blogs in which they explain things about writing. they are great tools lol i've never taken a creative writing class in my life this is new to me :)

totally get you on the inferiority thing, but i feel like reading superior work has only improved me as a writer :) lol
I always wish I wrote the kind of fics people like to talk about/freak out over, but I write so rarely and I guess people just forget about me?
I've gotten some really nice and positive comments on fics in the past, but I don't get mentioned on meme, so I have no idea if other people consider me good, bad or mediocre. (I really hope I'm not mediocre though ;;)
I wish there were more substantial comments to be had, too! I appreciate any comments I get, as they're so rare, but I always try to leave somewhat substantial comments myself for people!
you're welcome, anon! I've gotten into shinee recently so I've been working my way through a lot of old, goodfic! there's so much *~*

would you recommend not using them then? LOL i feel so weird asking this
i'm just sad that a lot of ppl think that they're bad when they can get a brighter outlook by just adjusting their standards lmao. i think being confident in yourself, even just a little bit, is very important, especially so for the sake of having the strength to keep improving. but if you feel that you have that anyway, then that's great lol.
