Help

I'm having the biggest crisis of all, that is I can no longer write fluffy romcoms even if I want to! Why is this happening and how can I cure this symptom? Serious help needed.

@edyeon Then probably the others that commented here are right. You probably need to write something different.

Still, you don't have to force yourself: just write what you feel like writing and if it makes you cringe, don't worry, take it more lightly, don't let it stress you.

I don't know of this can help, but I have a Prompt Shop: http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1257938/spark-creativity-prompt-shop-angst-bigbang-comedy-fxband-romance-snsd-writing-you-exo-occ-prompt-originalstory-promptshop-vixx-bts-seventeen-redvelvet-twice-pristin

Maybe you'll find something that would inspire you there.

@KYX1994 Yes,because there's too much cringe and people like it when there are rated chapters but I'm tired of writing those too.

@edyeon oh man i was gonna suggest to get a girlfriend then but i guess thats not gonna happen now xD what always seems to get me pumped to write is watching those fmvs of the idols i want to write about because some of them are breathtakingly well made and it acc gives me shivers down my spine sometimes maybe that could help?

@edyeon Ahahah, sorry, English is not my mother tongue.

I meant, is the problem that you have ideas but after you start writing you get stuck? Like, you don't like the idea anymore?

What do you mean with "I can no longer"?
That you have no inspiration or that you hate the little you write and stop the story at its early begin?

It's you getting used to fluffiness. The familiarity numbs you. Try other genre for awhile. Something extremely different. Thriller. Murder. Sad fics. I dunno, anything. Come back after awhile. :) Don't panic, it's fine.

Maybe you should try a different genre, like action or maybe dram or a slice of life, dont force yourself to write fluff if you are not in that mood ^^

@edyeon maybe you need to be in fluffy environment. somewhere comfortable like your bed. don't force yourself, let the ideas come out by itself

@MyStarryNight I tried and got the feel but when I actually tried to write my fic, the fluffy feels all flew away

maybe think of happy things, watch some fluffy romcom drama or anime. look up really cheesy things. I'm sure you'll be cured soon!
