Swedish/English-speaking; would love to get more involved in writing (fanfic, ffxiv, fantasy - all sorts!) and find a community

I finally got over my need to over-prepare and actually wrote the first few lines of my story with Näcken! I also think I'll use the name "Näckrosor" ("Waterlilies") for it. I'm pretty excited, so here they are! 😃

We are poor judges of our own writing. When we find amazing, transcendent writing, ours will always seem to pale in comparison. Why? Because our writing always looks like OUR WRITING. To others it might BE transcendent & amazing, but to ourselves, it's always going to look like ours.
I’m reading one of those books that is so exquisitely written that it makes me wonder why I keep writing, when I am not capable of reaching these heights of creation. So, creators of Bluesky, what are your best tips for motivating yourself when the gap between your skill and your taste is too wide?

If anyone is curious, the story I have brewing about Näcken is somewhat inspired by this painting by John Bauer (Agneta och Sjökungen) from 1911. Though with a male love interest in mine, but the mood is on point. (Check out Bauer's work, btw - it's gorgeous!)

Lately I've been playing with writing a kind of fairytale-esque story based on one of the variations of Näcken - a kind of romance story. I just...have such a love for that tale, but it feels a bit odd since I'm not Swedish/didn't grow up with it... 😅

Thanks to everyone who answered my last wail into the void about only make the same little guy in situation after situation. I will absolutely try those methods!

Though...I did also find another answer, and it seems to have...reignited some motivation to write (tho it remains to be seen).

Hmm... I have so many ideas, but I swear I keep making the same characters over and over again... Just the same little guy in different realities and situations. Any advice?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

y'all have GOT to stop shaming people for posting/engaging with NSFW

and while we're at it, stop being weird to people who DO post/engage with NSFW

moderate YOURSELVES and YOUR feed, not other people, damn, it's not a hard concept.

Attempt 2 at gposing. Something isn't working right, but at least you can see Mer and Sév side by side - the brain and the brawn, lol.

Normalize slow writers with seasonal depression and full-time jobs. Like, 500 words is a good day for me and I will not be made to feel bad about it 😂

Well, figured I'd give this a shot. Ifera and Mer!

You may have seen this post circling talking about how important it is to tell creators when you appreciate what they do.

The irony is it's MY post from Tumblr stolen by someone else. Please reskeet THIS post & NOT the stolen one bc we support creators making their own work on bluesky.

First attempt on my quest to learn how to gpose a bit! Here's Séverin, the sad gay bunboi who once was conscripted into the Garlean Empire to serve as a mage/alchemist.

Fic writers are like vampires: you gotta tell us we’re explicitly invited, and that our work is actively wanted.

Is there anyone else who prefers discord rp to in-game rp? It might be fun to find some friends for my OCs if so - might dust off my old carrd...
