I’ve been writing fan fiction for a long time. Only two tips I can think of and both refer to writing multi-chapter fics.
The thing I do nowadays when working on a MC fic is write out as much as possible in one document first and then, when the story gets to be like 20-30 pages long, split it up into chapters. I’ve always found MC fics intimidating to write and hard to finish.
But when you’re not thinking about chapter length to start, it’s less scary.
The other thing, is after splitting up said fic into chapters, keep the writing consistent. Work on it everyday. No breaks. That’s what I did with my CS fic, If You Love Me. I had an idea and just ran with it.
Action scenes I know are hard to write. I write angst better than action, although one could argue writing a “taco” scene is action and can be tricky too.
Just don’t force it. It’s good to have an idea for how it should go but don’t force the action in the writing.
Also, watching movie scenes similar to what you want help too.
Awesome idea for a thread btw.
