I'm planning to write A03
So I'm planning write either fanfiction or original
Here the thing I'm never finished a full on page as full book before only comment. I don't have money either for beta readers, and I suck searching topic, like A03 author has full on Wikipedia information even not found in wiki, and I'm don't keep up with schedule (even though I have full on free time lol) Also I used to be good in English now I suck at it

Tag your work. Be k...... reply
For writing better english I'd recommend reading more fics and writing down their best lines. Also you don't have to be a linguistic genius to write a fic. Just keep your basic grammar correct. Write your fic in Google docs first. It will automatically correct some noticeable grammar mistakes. Like if you have troubles with prepositions, it will au...... 2 reply
Choose your fandom, read and comment on other fics too. Think about WHY you want to write. For me it was “I like this ship, but there’s no fics, so I’m going to write them”.
I don’t read/write on ao3 any more, but I was very involved in the Haikyuu fandom, and I offered beta reading to people before I got my own betas. Doing a bang help...... 1 reply
