Fic Writers I Recommend

by @jotypes

Just gonna make a big list of reader insert writers, and my favourite works from each of them <3

@amidalaraan

I adore Mar's writing style. She knows how to hook you in with clearly depicted emotions so easily, and it continues to resonate throughout the entire fic! Also my go to writer for angst <3

My Fave: Hope You Never Read This - Poe Dameron x Reader

↳ angst, made me cry, death tw

@maharani-radha-writes

Priya is so good with details, like I'm talking fully realized worlds, things I would've never thought of, but it makes sense when you read it. Plus her writing makes me laugh, she has a great sense of humor :)

My Fave: Married to Your Work - Duke Leto x Reader

↳ Slow burn, arranged marriage stuff, pretty funny, I live for Reader's internal thoughts

@no-mercy-bby

Sooo Mercy is obviously just one of my favourite people on here, because she's a total sweetheart and is also talented at writing to boot. I think she's great at writing characters! Somehow she knows exactly how each character would act in every scenario, it's never OOC. And she's great with fluff :D

My Fave: Dead to Me - Wade Wilson/Deadpool x Reader

↳ Fluff, angst, multiverse shenanigans, made me sad and happy at the same time

@raincoffeeandfandoms

Rain is super inspiring, she's great at angst and enemies to lovers, which is something I'm trying to work on! Also she's really great if you love Evan Peters' characters.

My Fave: Mistakes (ongoing series) - Peter Maximoff x Reader

↳ Enemies to Lovers, Medieval AU, angst, fluff, future smut

@whirlybirbs

Birbs is a multi-fandom writer who's works I'm not super familiar with yet, but the fic I did read? The emotions conveyed in it were so real and so potent. Really good grasp on how emotions build characters and all that.

My Fave: Reunion - Din Djarin x Reader

↳ Friends to Lovers, fluff and comfort, a little angst

@foggywells

If I'm not mistaken, Olivia is a newer writer (please correct if I'm wrong!) but even so her writing already shows a great grasp on everything good about fic writing! Her fluff>>>>>

My Fave: This Ask Based On a Prompt - Matt Murdock x Reader

↳ Basically just fluff but somehow perfect in a few words!

@lune-hime

Skye is a super awesome multi-fandom writer who somehow manages to write exactly like how the original media is written, even when there's a lot you gotta make up on your own.

My Fave: Family Outing - Logan Howlett x Reader

↳ Fluff and angst, really cute, based off of Old Man Logan

@moonbeambucky

I love Bucky, and even though I've written for him, I haven't really gotten him as well as Tara has! Somehow even in AU works she keeps it as in character as possible

My Fave: The Guardian - Bucky Barnes x Reader

↳ Demon AU, series, angst, fluff, depression, body issues, violence/torture, suicide***

@savage-snikt

She's a great writer for descriptive stuff, and I love that people still unabashedly love Logan out here :D (I miss the X-Men era of film)

My Fave: Easy Like a Sunshine Caf - Din Djarin x Reader

↳ Fluff, part of the mando'a challenge, really just cute <3

@hufflepuffs-and-hozier

I've just found Thora but from what I've read, I really love her stuff! Dialogue and banter is just off the charts>>>>

My Fave: I've Already Lost - TASM!Peter Parker x Reader

↳ Series, unrequited love kind of, angsty as hell but WORTH IT

@milkiane

Liane is awesome at fluff. It will make your heart clench but in the best way, because it's just that cute <3

My Fave: The Coolest Twinkie - Peter Maximoff x Reader

↳ Just the fluffiest fluff that made me smile super hard

@inknopewetrust

Kelsey is another multi-fandom writer who always seems to know exactly how to write for every character, and her prose is so gripping- you always want to keep reading no matter what.

My Fave: When She Loved Me - Loki Laufeyson x Reader

↳ Angst, death tw, made me real sad but in a good way

@bumblebeezer

Beez is crazy underrated. Definitely my go to writer for Din because she writes him so well, and I just can't describe how easy it is to digest her work but also feel smart for doing so :) <3

My Fave: Show Yourself - Din Djarin x Reader

↳ Soulmate AU, Princess/Royalty AU, series, fluff and angst

@quicksilverownsmysoul

Kat is a go-to for Peter Maximoff. Trust me, I love every single one of her fics and she updates really frequently, too!

My Fave: Convenience Store - Peter Maximoff x Reader

↳ Fluff, Peter being protective, just very cute <3

Have any suggestions of writers? Send me an ask and I'll check them out <3

Reasons to Keep Writing Even When You Want to Give Up For Good

1) Sometimes you don’t really want to give up forever. You just need to take a break, step back, and do something else for a few months.

2) There are stories inside you that only you can tell. There are poems inside you that only you can write. Nobody else can write them for you. Nobody else can say exactly what you can say.

3) Writing is an act of creation. No matter how good or bad you think your work is, you have created something that didn’t exist before. This is important. This is good. 

4) You do not write for anybody else. The only person you write for is you. Nobody else’s opinion should hinder your ability to write for yourself. 

5) Everybody fails. Really. Even the most accomplished writers mess up. This is okay. From every misstep, you learn and you grow. I’ve always found this article very soothing: Falling Short: Seven Writers Reflecting On Failure (my personal favourite section is Anne Enright’s section.)

6) Writer’s block is an opportunity to try new things. Have new life experiences. Experiment with new styles. Writer’s block is that pause you need to reflect on your thoughts and ideas, see which ones work and which ones don’t. Writer’s block isn’t the end of your writing capabilities. It’s downtime that allows you to attempt new techniques. Which leads me to (because I think both are connected):

7) In my experience, much of writer’s block comes from fear or boredom. Why are you afraid of writing? Why does it bore you? Is there a disconnect between your idea and your passion to write? Why? There are reasons for everything. Try to figure out the reason behind this too.

8) You know those vain articles and comments accomplished writers make about “bad” or “amateur” writers? That’s all it is: vanity. It is a reflection on them. Do not let their words get to you. They are giants looking down on us. They’ve forgotten the struggle they themselves have been through. Writing is hard and deeply personal. ‘Making it’ is viciously difficult. That doesn’t mean you do not try. 

9) You will regret it if you throw in the towel now. Write because the future you deserves to know that when things were hard, you kept going! The future you deserves to be proud of the present you. The future you is counting on you to continue. Don’t let them down.

10) Write because you wouldn’t have read through this entire post unless you were looking for a reason to write, even in your darkest and most hopeless hours. Write because this shows you’re passionate about it, shows that no matter how hard it seems, you want to keep writing. That’s really the big secret: you just keep writing.
