I like to think of myself as a historian, this book just tells you what I know. In this book, you can find a rough guideline of how to start a historical fiction book, how to keep going, and how to end it. I'll include everything I've learned over my time writing historical fiction. There's a lot to watch out for; lots of dos and don't;s, can be's and would-be's, lots of rules and all the time in the world. In this book you can find helpful advice and discussions on tackling things like:
* Everyday life
* Slang
* Fads
* The do's and do not's
* How to deal with touchy subjects specific to the times
* Resources
* etc.

How To Write Marvel Fanfiction by miss-johnny-five

What it says on the tin. Some ranting, some advice, some archaic reference, and a lot of cussing. My take on how I think fanfiction should be written and some of the biggest problems with it right now. Because I may not be the best at writing, but damnit I am the best at yelling about writing and rules I won't follow myself. More of a what not to do than a what to do sort of guide, really. Technically completed, but still adding chapters and anything past like part 35 is just me ranting with little actual advice in there. You have been warned.

nyx's fanfic collection by luv_nyx

I wrote a lot between 2019-2021. Most of it was fanfiction, but looking back on it the progress I made between them is cool to me. They will all be in order of when they were started, but none are complete and some are just a few pages long. Others last near a hundred pages. You could somewhat consider these oneshots, but they really range in length; one is just more than 100 words but another is close to 30,000. Plus, some don't even get to the part where you meet the love interest. Some of the older stories contain sensitive subjects, i.e. self-harm, suicide, abuse, bullying. There may be other things that I missed.

Legends Life - Out of control by klancelover13

This is a novel about a topic we technically made up randomly and if there are any mistakes, errors, or just places I could fix and add more details please tell me, I want to make this book enjoyable and exciting to read! Also please be aware that some of these will be notice's and this book does need and have a blood warning and a swear warning! Please do be aware if you can't deal with blood this book does get descriptive (Partly true) and I will be explaining what scars, burns and wounds look like and the pain felt for them. This book is more themed in the future than it is nowadays. You may also find some technology that is more futuristic, and there are things talking about the past. Most of the book is switching between views of the main characters. We want you to expect the unexpected in this book, for example: Most books don't kill off the main character, we want you to think we will kill off one of them. Most of the characters in this will have birthdays and age in the background and it may not be written. There will be more books coming out so we will end this one on a cliffhanger.

Glorious Purpose || Loki by vegemite-n-weetbix

Loki fluff. I don't do smut because I don't feel comfortable writing it. Fanfiction / fem x reader. You're an ex hydra experiment. You get kidnapped by a mysterious person and get taken hostage bringing back painful memories. You're basically being tortured until your kidnapper realises what he's doing. You both end up being taken hostage at the avenger tower. What will happen next. I didn't intend it to be but it's a slow burn Tw: Abuse mentioned.
