[quote=@metanoia] "Fanfiction doesn't improve your writing" Which is objectively false. Fanfiction helps one gain confidence to write in general (IMO) and thus will lead to one eventually writing their own stuff. It's why I also despise when people shit on fanfiction writers. [/quote] Fanfiction is also practice, and practice is ultimately the only way to get better. As for my submission: "Romances shouldn't be planned"
