For example, songs like "I ain't worried" by One Republic or even "So Beautiful" by DPR IAN. Any that have those sweet sweet whistles.

If this is the wrong sub or flair, I'm sorry.

What I'm asking is if there are any fics that base off the world or anything in general. I try to be an experimental person, but smut or anything explicit is a no go for me.

It can just be the world or the characters in general.

I'm already working on one of my own, but I wonder if there are any other works with a similar idea to mine.

Sorry if it's too vague, I struggle with wording.

In a few words, I've been writing my first fanfic (and long fic), but everytime I sit down and write I feel like it's not enough.

Even when I finished the first chapter itself, I felt frustrated for not knowing what to cut out or change. I'm kind of afraid it will turnout "bad" in the sense that I couldn't convey what I wanted to say properly.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking it, but it really feels that way.

Besides, it's a crackfic, but I want to take the premise seriously. And I don't know, I keep putting this invisible pressure on myself that it won't turn/feel that way. I don't know how to put myself in that mindset where you know not everything will come out perfect on the first time or something like that.

Perhaps I've worded this wrong, but like many, English is not my first language.

If I didn't phrase this correctly, what I mean by this is if its possible to write multiple fics at the same time without losing focus/motivation. Currently, I'm not doing this, but my head constantly overwhelms me with potential fic ideas with these unique concepts that fascinate me. For instance, I already have a pending fic with a whole fantasy world in mind.

At the moment, my solution is focusing on a single one then moving to the other, as most of these ideas have big concepts that require at least 50k words or somewhere along those lines. However, my brain is itching to start the other ones. Another problem that I have is time constraints, like most people, school and life in general consume a lot of my time and I really only get like two to three "free" hours in an average day.

So I ask you people, far more experienced than me, to give me tips or ideas to help with this. Please and thank you in advance!

Can a non-romantic fic still gain attention?

Romance or anything in general just doesn't fit my tastes. It's not that I can't write it, but rather I don't like it much. If it's necessary to make this aware, I'm openly an asexual. Thing is, I'm afraid it won't gain any level of attention, small or big. Romance feels kind of the point of a fic, but I don't really want it to be for my fic.

Or at least, I don't want it to be the main focus. I'm more of an action person. The thrill of the suspense, all that kind of stuff. I know there will always be someone that likes something, no matter how niche. But I don't know, I'm still afraid it won't find its audience.

Sorry for the bad explanation, I'm not good with words.
