My tips are to one: not stress out about what other people will think when they find out. writing fanfiction can be weird to some people, but it certainly isn't to me. so if anyone asks why you write it, just say why not or because it's fun. Two: make sure that you know your "facts". If you're writing about a YouTuber, go on a video binge of their channel before you write it. Also, look up as much as you possibly can about them, even if it seems a little weird. Being wrong about something can be embarrassing, so you wanna make sure you know your facts. Three: have fun with it. I know that this sounds a little cheesy, but honestly, it's true. If you're forcing yourself to do a certain schedule or write things a certain way, you'll get bored with your fanfics quickly, and discontinuing a book can make you feel like a terrible person. And something really important that you should know is that, not all fanfics start out great. It may take a while for one to get popular. But don't give up if it doesn't right away.
