  • I’ve written two drastically different replies to this and neither of them really addressed what you’re talking about. I think about the only thing you can do is keep in mind that fanfiction is all practice. The rules are all out the door (except basic grammar, hopefully) and you’re pretty much at the mercy of the writers as they inflict their vision on their universe of choice. Add to that fact the idea that people can drift away from canon so lightly they might not even realise and it turns into even more of a Wild West landscape.

    It sounds like you’re taking a pretty measured approach to your own writing though. Do you rewatch the source material much?


  • I’ve been using the SuggestMeABook sub on reddit. I just search for a title I’ve read and liked and then trawled all the comments that touched on it.

    I’ve started to use the recommendations on StoryGraph the last few months and have been pleasantly surprised. The biggest issue I’m having is that my local library doesn’t carry a lot of the more independent authors but I’ve managed to add a bunch of series to my TBR.



  • I have a Kobo Libra 2 and I think the only extra features are that it’s waterproof and you can do audiobooks on it via Bluetooth (you might be able to do that on Kindle too, I’m not sure).

    I went with Kobo because I’m not a fan of Amazon and because I wanted to access a subscription service through it. With the optional sleep cover I never turn it off so it’s always ready to go.
