I'm not trying to be sexist, and I apologise if you see it that way. The thing is, I'm thinking to start writing fanfictions (I have some good stories in mind), but most fanfics I see are written by female fans of the series, so I worry that I might be a distinct and they might see it as strange if a guy like me writes fanfiction. |

| Yeah, it seems like it to me. Based on my interests, I'd say I'd be very likely to write fanfics, and yet I haven't, not even once. |
 |
| it's like a mutual agreement, girls write the fan fiction and guys draw the hentai |

| yes most are written by girls thats why most are yaoi |

| There is no correlation between gender and the tendency of writing fanfiction. |
| Most are but that doesn't mean guys can't and haven't written fanfics before. I'm not a fan of fanfiction so I don't know how common or uncommon male fanfic authors are but I imagine they're in short supply. |
MellowJello knew that, unbeknownst to his followers, he was actually a giant tub of flan. Much did he do to keep this a secret, so much that he would sometimes eat himself to maintain his jello-y appearance. It was then that the people who are reading this just now, now realize that MellowJello is actually a TanFlan. And thus, Mellow's attention whore days were over forever. Hey guess what? I wrote a fanfic about Mellow. And I'm male! Am I doing it right? |

| 50 Shades of Grey started as a Twilight Fanfic by the now infamous (for sucking royally) E.L. James - a woman. i don't know what the real male/female author ratio is in terms of Fanfic authors but i encourage every single one of you to write something better. It shouldn't be difficult. Apparently you will make loads of money for a steaming pile of shit! |
MellowJello said: You forgot all the romantic subplots. Also, how could you possibly be a Spanish dessert? Much less a tub of a Spanish dessert?!Hey guess what? I wrote a fanfic about Mellow. And I'm male! Am I doing it right? First person perspective of Mellow: I took the key from the right pocket of a windbreaker I'd owned for eleven odd years now. It was a gift from mom, although I'm not sure if the love she put into the purchase would show this far down the road. Whatever. The street lights were just going on at this point, and the early November wind was hurting my neck. I had made my way to clear-stop station, I was taking the subway into the city, green line. The people on the train didn't seem to notice my old jacket, I was hoping it wouldn't be a big deal. Whatever. I got off the train after seven stops, we were supposed to meet in ten minutes right outside the station, by the convenience store. Now, I'd like to say that I was super relaxed and completely prepared for whatever might happen, but then I'd be lying. I paced for a bit, bought and ate a hotdog, paced some more. Thirteen minutes past the agreed time, was I lied to again? Whatever. Thirty seconds and I would go. That turned into five minutes. Eighteen minutes past the agreed time. I was the only one standing out here, where was she? Just a few more minutes, it was getting really cold. Fifty-two minutes past the agreed time. She's not coming is she? Again! Ugh, fine, whatever. I bought a can of coffee and went back into the subway, third time this month she hadn't shown up. I was searching around in my pocket for some money when I got caught in the back and stumbled forward. Turning, I looked behind me at who had assaulted me in this dark mood "Sorry I'm late!" And now she shows up, sixty-seven minutes past the agreed time. I couldn't be happier. I considered ending it so that Mellow went home and made angry loneliness posts on MAL. But I thought this was happier. |

| Fanfiction has nothing to do with original stories guys. If you write about yourself you're not writing fanfics. Anyway, I have no fucking idea, but really, let's take this logically, why would they be the only ones to write fanfics or stories? This sounds to me like a retarded stereotype. I am currently at 266~ pages on my first book (actually, I didn't finish my first part, the last part is part of the 266 pages, I'm stuck). |

| Contrary to Immahnoob's thoughts, it is not a retarded stereotype, but a grounded fact. Females are more in tune with their emotions inherently, like I elaborated on in WhiteQueen's friendship thread. Creative writing is very much about emotions. It stands to reason that there would be more female fanfic writers, as the more intense the connection with the hobby, the more likely it will be pursued. This is why most good male writers are in tune with their feminine side. |
| No, it's mostly called gender problems. There is no such thing as "Men are less emotional/feel less than women.", it's called "Men must show to feel less emotional/feel less than women". There is no difference, maybe slight, but that has nothing to do with sex, only with the individual. This is just like the stereotype that only guys play games, while gamer girls are 47% of the gaming population. So yeah, gender has nothing to do with writing. And even if it would, correlation does no imply causation, at least without proper proof. |

And you're wrong in your points/beliefs by the way. It's called the natural shape of evolution, and we have by no means changed that shape just yet. We assert things like you said there as propaganda to this end. |
| What you said still has nothing to do with how being more emotional means you can write better or that women are more emotional than men and it's not simply a slightly different way of showing the same emotions. |

Thoth_ said: Immahnoob said: What you said still has nothing to do with how being more emotional means you can write better or that women are more emotional than men and it's not simply a slightly different way of showing the same emotions. Creative writing is emotive. I won't use myself as an example, but I have to say, I'm so feminine writing about armies slaughtering each other, the end of the world and trying to induce a state of uneasiness into the reader whenever they read about the description of the main character's actions. And as I said before, let's take it for granted that creative writing is indeed emotive. Why would it matter? Men and women feel the same emotions on almost the same level with negligible differences depending on the individual. Just because masculinity says "You don't have to show emotions" that does not mean you don't have any. Let's see what creative writing is, shall we? It's any writing that puts emphasis on narrative, character development and literally tropes. Describing the emotions of your characters is the only place where you need to think back of how you would feel or how people would feel in that certain situation you're describing. But that doesn't mean you have to be emotive to be able to write. |

| Hahahaha! Fuck's sake, lads. Just noticed this shit. OT: It's not about how we feel emotions, it's about emotional intelligence -- something women are inherently more adept at. And when you write creatively, you assume the character your writing. Meaning you must emulate the emotions they feel in order to understand their character. This is why I said good creative writers are in tune with their feminine side. |

Nah, 'good' in this context denotes technically proficient writers. This is not a case of each to his own. You did not say anything that discredited the samples. And the areas most relevant to creative writing were ones that the females were more dominant in. |
| "Technically proficient writers". Yeah, like grammar, right? I can't think of anything really technical except for grammar and maybe the paper they used to make the books. "As hypothesized in the present research, males have high emotional intelligence when compared with females" < First study. "Interpersonal Relationship (+4) 101 97 Social Responsibility (+6) 102 96 Empathy (+9) 103 94 " < Second one. 4, 6 and 9. Do you really think these numbers are that eligible? They're not, in the end we're pretty equal on EQ, also, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostWritersAreMale. Let's not forget we're talking about Intelligence here, all these type of intelligence tests are quite biased overall. This claims that most writers are males and discredits the whole "most fanfic writers are females". Also proven by this: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/feb/04/research-male-writers-dominate-books-world The first one might be more biased than the second one, also, as I said, males can feel the same things like women, there's no difference. |

Technically proficient indeed. Think harder. Both studies back up my stance. If you can't logically think all this through then I see no productive reason to see this through. |
