I find this kinda brain tickler for me. I mostly see fanfics on wattpad about creepypastas, homestuck, (recently) undertale, relationships, anime, the list goes on lovelies.
This is cringe worthy.
"Why is it cringe worthy, Doc?" I bet you're asking, well its fact that most of these fics are basically porn/nsfw or a build up to it. There is no development at all. I understand if it's a oneshot fic but still a small build up will be needed in all story situations. (That rant will be in the next chapter)
There are other options to this, you can use cannon characters but use an original idea, change the scene to something they are not use to. For example: Doctor Alphys being in a social enviroment, with many different people. She would be out of her comfort zone and she would try to find somewhere she would comfortable and safe in her eyes.
Trying a horror I see, research is good to do; you can base it of pictures, old stories/fables. LIKE scooby doo.
Romance is a bitch, awkward to write (especially if your single and never dated before). You want a good story but not too lovey dovey incase it's over the top and makes you feel sick.
To be honest writing is a bitch, its hard for people to enjoy it and sometimes reading a review of it on how to improve helps, take it as constructive building blocks to make your story a perfect house. If that makes sense.How does it feel to read thrice chapters in a row, what comes after thrice. I guess we'll get to find out.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Happy writing
