On new writing ventures

[hazliya]

I kind of want to start writing fanfiction as a creative outlet.

Anyone have any opinions on fanfiction.net and that whole shebang? Beta readers?

I... don't really know how to start this. The only fanfiction I've ever written was a few years ago for nyren's Nobilis game, which was short and thoroughly ridiculous.

Well, I told myself I'd stop giving solicited advice, but this was solicited

A friend-of-a-friend is trying to start a wordpress-based ff.net alternative site called fanfic.me. They had some site design issues early on that affected usability, but they seem to be in the process of fixing that. I'm not connected enough to fic to have too strong an opinion, but maybe worth looking at if you're looking for places to contribute?

Probably Dragon Age. It's one that has a lot of options, so anything could be canon. xD

Most of the good fic that I find is on ArchiveOfOurOwn.org.

fanfiction.net tends to have things of WILDLY varying quality, although it is a good place to put it that you can link to from all sorts of places
