My solution to there being no fics about a character that I want to read? Writing my own, or just reading X readers on Tumblr or something. Usually writing my own.
The issues with this method?
1) I've written the fic, so I know what's going to happen most of the time, meaning sometimes I don't want to read it
2) I'm currently desperate for a Marauders era Remus Lupin fic, and all the ones I've found look really badly written, or follow the same 3 basic plots (James' sister, "I love you but I'm a werewolf and I can't do that to you" (ft. "I'M A MONSTER, YOU CAN'T LOVE ME" and "idk what to do, I love him but he won't let me") or something either they're a werewolf too or they're meant to hate werewolves). My solution to this issue, I'm writing my own. The problem is, I don't really have a good idea, any song I can think to base a fanfic off of, I can't, and plot shops aren't offering anything that I can structure chapters around, and even if I have a basic idea of sorts, I can't think of how to write it or what to put in a chapter.
HELP ME PLEASE.
