MrMallard 07/29/20 6:55:39 PM #1:	What terms best describe someone who's written Skyrim fanfiction? Irredeemably nerdy - you spend so much time playing the game already, and then in your IRL free time you write about the game? That's dweeby as hell! Basic bitch shit - most Skyrim characters don't have enough personality to expand on, you might as well make your own original fiction instead of watering down an existing property Both - it's incredibly nerdy that you would expand on a game as large and varied as Skyrim, but it's probably the most basic-ass, vanilla property to write fanfiction for in the first place What terms best describe someone who's written Skyrim fanfiction? - Results (1 vote) Irredeemably nerdy - you spend so much time playing the game already, and then in your IRL free time you write about the game?

Or are you a basic bitch who picked one of the blandest properties imaginable to write your own budget Game of Thrones about, when any mediocre hack can throw together an original swords-and-sorcery setting of their own? Alternatively, are you a basic bitch among nerds - still nerdy enough for your fanfic to be regarded as nerdy and weird to the average layperson, but for a property that basically makes you a normie to other fanfiction writers? ~~Asking because I had an idea for a WLW story about Solitude's housecarl and Temba Wide-Arms, lmao~~ --- Are you proud to be a Mayonnaise American? <cite>MrMallard posted [p:942748152] in Writing Sk...

That, even though I like Skyrim. The characters are pretty simple and the Dragonborn is a blank slate. <cite>garan posted [p:942749037] in Writing Sk...

Unspecified_NPC 07/29/20 7:17:26 PM #3:	The first one, but with such a lore-rich series, there's a lot to write. I myself have considered writing a story starring Sissel and Britte, the twins from Rorikstead.

josifrees 07/29/20 7:32:14 PM #7:	dont see the point in writing fan fiction. Its a pretty generic universe and you would have a lot more freedom in writing your own universe and ability to actually do something with it besides posting in a fanfic website. All media is derivative so ripping off the elder scrolls universe isnt the end of the world --- Quit Crying <cite>josifrees posted [p:942749827] in Writing Sk...
