Severus Snape Soalan

A little help with my fanfic?

I just started Penulisan a SeverusxHermione fanfic. Do anda think I'd get a lot of readers if I don't put much "Adult Content" in it? because I don't plan to.(Well, okay, I'd put some but not as much a fangirl is expected to.) I want to make it sweet and not flaming hot atau erotic atau anything of the sort. All I plan to do is to tunjuk the readers how the two characters would fall in Cinta and things like that...I need your opinion and maybe I would change my mind. :)

Posting your story when it's complete is great for some writers. I don't do it that way. I serialize. Nearly everything I've published on line I've done that way. If I know I have people waiting to read what I'm writing, I feel motivated to write, because I don't want to let the readers down, and it helps keep my own interest up. If I'm not posting until the entire story is complete (or mostly complete), it's just not going to get done. No one is waiting to read what I'm writing, no one gives a damn if I don't post it, I have no motivation to finish. But then, I have issues, and it just works better for me to do installments.

As for Content Warnings: anda have got to be aware of your readership. One of the worst things anda can do is to squick a reader. (Squick: "The physical sense of repulsion upon encountering a concept atau situation one finds disgusting.") Once you've squicked someone, they'll likely never read your work again. It's also just a courtesy to your readers, who may not be Membaca anda on their utama comps, atau may have little ones around, and a Content Warning in the header is nice for them to have.

Find what style is right for you, and go for it! Good luck with whatever anda choose to do. :)

I quite agree, but I want it really polished and I write pretty slowly, (not that I AM slow, I just want everything checked first) I plan to put some -as LadyNottingham berkata it- steamy stuffs, I'm just not sure if I am THAT good in writing, yet. But I certainly will, just not as torrid as that fanfic I've read once. Thanks, anyway!

BH is right about the squick thing. So the M rating + something like "Beware Adult Content" + warnings in Author's Notes are wise precautions. I had once a review sejak a reader that had complained about a blowjob in one of my stories. She had found it disgusting and that I should have warned. I replied to her that readers had been warned 3 times, that the M-rating was not there for decorum and she should have paid attention to the author's notes. I bet on my readers' intelligence but sometimes I'm wrong. LOL

Another piece of Nasihat I may give anda BTW : reply to your readers when they leave anda a review, first to thank them. It's always nice to share a few thoughts atau give explanations and explore new ideas with one's readership.

If there isn't much Adult Content, then anda don't have to rate your story with a M for mature.
and stories without a M-rating are lebih read then stories with a M-rating because those stories are normally hidden. (you have to change the rating above the page to see M-rating stories)

So I think anda get lebih readers if the story hasn't much Adult Content.

It's not the rating that makes a good story, but the plot, the characterization, the correct spelling ang grammar, etc.

Some stories have an adult content, even very graphic, but if it serves the plot just right, no problem. Some authors also note their story as PWP (Porn Without Plot), but at least, we know where we're about to tread upon. The worst is when people insert steamy stuff that is completely useless atau a bit Mary-Sue atau whatever.

Rate it M if anda plan to have some steamy stuff. Otherwise, there's no need, so don't. Some readers expect steamy stuff if the story is M-rated !

anda may also change the rating even if the story is published, like on FanFiction.net, for example.

Remember, what makes a good story is the plot and how the story is told.

Good luck with your story and keep us telah diposkan about your progress !

That was actually something I DONT want to do: The PWP. Seeing that it's my first time to write, will it be okay to finish it first atau I'll make people wait for the seterusnya chapters?

I advise fanfic writers to write their stories almost complete before posting them. In case of a change of plot, it is still possible to change, while when it's posted, it looks weird with the readership. I start posting when I have completed lebih than 80% of my story. After that, anda may post 1 atau 2 chapters per hari atau per week. Regularity is the key to keep your readership on their toes.

I must confess that, although generally I'm not much of a porn reader, when it comes to Severus I mostly look for steamy fics. But I am a freak who's sexually obsessed with him ;-P
