Not going to lie, I've been feeling kind of demotivated to write lately. Like I found so many new fanfics to read and I started reading them instead of writing and now I think it's affecting my creativity. I keep thinking about other people's stories instead of mine. Is that normal? Does it count as plagiarism if I make my own fanfics based on other people's fanfics but change some details?

@CatJanaYT I literally started writing fanfic because of someone else’s. I read lots of them still, which helps me know A: what’s ‘in’ with the fandom, B: learn new writing skills and styles as previously mentioned, and C: opens my mind to new concepts I’d not considered before! I have a concept sheet I posted once and it took the idea of Joel being a shapeshifting alien, but for my version, he was just a shapeshifter. Of course, you can also always ask the creator, I believe. Clarifications are always important! 
          	  
          	  ^i hope this helped, if not, feel free to entirely ignore everything I just said and I apologize for the ramble

Hello, so, I've been looking for a new mha fanfic to read but I can't find any so I'm hoping you guys have recommendations? 
          
          Just saying, I have very specific tastes so if you can't recommend anything I won't be surprised. 
          
          1. Complete (I hate cliffhangers)
          2. No villain Deku (unless he gets a good redemption arc or is more of a vigilante villain)
          3. Little to no character death (I hate it when people die)
          4. Aizawa is a good teacher (I read a few where he was a bad one and it really rubbed me the wrong way I didn't even realize I liked Aizawa that much)
          5. Villain redemption arcs or they weren't villains in the first place (not required but I would like it)
          6. Little to no romance (I usually can't stomach it or smut but I know that other people really like romance so I guess I'm okay with some romance but no smut period)
          7. No swearing or dirty jokes (I'm unfortunately getting desensitized to it though so this one isn't required)
          8. Not too angsty to the point where it focuses on angst like a microscope (if it gets too depressing it starts to reflect on me)
          9. Humor or crack (I like to laugh)
          
          Thanks

Hello- I was wondering if you were interested in making a deal. I am a relatively new writer on Wattpad and am hoping to share my work.  I was thinking that I could star every part of your story "Wings of Fire Oneshots"if you starred every part of my two stories. I only have 4 parts published, though by the time you read this I may have more. In addition, I would be happy to follow you if you follow me. Both of these actions would help us both gain visibility on Wattpad. Please respond to my message with yes or no so I know whether you want to do it! If you want to just star each others stories or just follow each other I would be happy to do that too. 
          
          I am a Wings of Fire fan and appreciate your work! Here are links to my stories:

I think I'm getting obsessed with my hero academia... Like I just finally binged it a few weeks ago and now I'm thinking of so many different fanfic ideas like am I hyperfixating or is this normal? I just hope it doesn't distract me too much from my other projects.

@CatJanaYT I'm also hyperfixated over stuff, its complete normal:D
