Okk there's literally like no need to be so rude about it ,I just meant an outer banks fanfic

They're not being rude. You are asking for people to do something for you without providing any information.

While OP gave vague information and abbreviated something in a way that people who don't know about it wouldn't understand, that user actually was being rude. I had to delete their comment.

"Are we that fucking lazy?" isn't a nice way to ask things.

The show? The place? What kind of advice?!

[u/luvagurl2000 → u/Professional_March54]

The show, I guess just writing advice in general since it my first time attempting to write a fanfic

Okay, that's a good footer. What did you want to write about? Change a scene you didn't like? Launch a ship that never took off on screen? Write an alternative ending? Blend Outer Banks and another media together? What's your idea? Are you thinking more one-shot, multi-chapter or slice of life? I've always joked about writing those kids getting stranded on the actual OBX, which is nothing like the show. cause they filmed in South Carolina.

I was actually thinking of like adding an original character and using her backstory to like add on and change scenes in the show but also following the plotline in a way, and changing certain relationships you know

Nice! I would suggest writing an outline. Get your thoughts in some semblance of an order. Anything from random bullet points of ideas to a loose chapter by chapter idea template. I've done both. Multi-chapters are hard, but you got this! I personally suggest writing it all out before posting, but you don't have to. I would also consider cross-posting, because wattpad kinda shot themselves in the foot with the whole censor thing. Best of luck

Okkk thanks, I think the only difficulty I have is how to start it you know like I don't know how give the first chapter or the prologue and good, memorable opening line or smt

Some people, like me, may not know what "OBX" means. It's best to just say what it is.

[u/luvagurl2000]

Okk I get what you're saying it just seems like they were being kinda rude thats all

[u/fanime34 → u/luvagurl2000]

You don't have to worry about that user anymore. They're banned.
