okay… genuine question, is there such a thing as fanfic trauma?
because i think entertainer might have traumatized me. that story took everything out of me, it was the hardest fic I’ve ever written, the longest it has ever taken me to finish one and i thought that once it was completed i would jump straight into the next fic and instead my brain said absolutely not.
i can write other things just fine but the moment i open my new yw chapter, my brain just stares back at me.
chapter 2 of ciwyw has been sitting at around 1k words for ages, i actually wrote those before i even finished entertainer and now i can’t seem to write a single paragraph more.
so like… is post fanfic burnout a real thing? fanfic trauma? writer’s emotional damage?
i hope it goes away soon cause i genuinely miss writing for yw, and i want this new story to happen so badly but my brain or hands idk just refuses to cooperate.
someone diagnose me please

Well it might be a huge writer block and it’s totally fine many people have that just don’t force yourself to write anything and trust me it will come out so naturally. Maybe you should focus on other things or your other hobbies? Maybe watch some dramas for 2-3 weeks and once u get tired of watching dramas or other stuff just start writing it will do it.

Awwww come here ❤️ I think it’s really possible and maybe it will go with time. You have to tell yourself that no stories will be this hard for you

@OmegaverseUniverse probably so. You should take a break to clear your mind, Mom, and find things that inspire you to want to write again, but take it one step at a time.
