q: how to start an au?
for me, once i got an au idea that i really liked and somehow plans to write it, i usually thinks first about the synopsis. after that, i would get a notebook or anything i could write to and write detailed plot. then once i settled with that +
for me, once i got an au idea that i really liked and somehow plans to write it, i usually thinks first about the synopsis. after that, i would get a notebook or anything i could write to and write detailed plot. then once i settled with that +
plot, i would make a chaptered section of it and each chapter has a much more detailed things that would be only included in that chapter.
once i finished all them, that is when i start my au. i know lots of work but it really helped me to not sway away from my original plot.

q: how to get more au/fics ideas
i sometimes get ideas from songs, pictures, movies, clips i saw in the internet and even in books.
for example, i listen to some sad songs and then i would imagine it to some kind of story and then *poof* idea (why am i so bad at explaining) +

another one, from pictures, when i roam on pinterest, i see a lot of pictures and when i look at the photo of (example) taehyung in the forest then i imagine taehyung in some kind of forest then he met jeongguk blah blah blah blah.
reading a lot of books and fics also help +

you can get inspiration from it just like from songs, you think of it as a new whole story with a big twist so it would be different from the story you got inspired from.
remember that stealing ideas and stories are part of plagiarism so please refrain from making au/fics +

that are almost similar to each other, you can get inspired of it but do not copy the plot or anything.

q: how/where to get motivations?
i mostly get motivations from readers, whenever they leave nice messages for my aus it makes me feel nice and sudden rush of motivation come to me whenever i think of people waiting and loving my aus.

q: what to do when you're out of motivation?
rest for a while and do some other things, for me i watch random videos (like bts/txt/kpop/anime) until i lighten my mood. i sometimes sleep to regain my energy. also eat! do not forget to eat since they make our braincells work lmao.

q: how to stop procrastinating?
i myself can't even but focusing on things you want to do first would work. finish things that are more priority than doing other works.
(i can't really answer this question cause i procrastinate a lot ngl but i try not to!!)
