So I'm kind of a quiet person on here, I don't leave that many comments on other peoples articles because I'm kind of socially awkward and overthink things especially when it comes to Text where I feel like the tone of a comment can be hard to decipher when I make a remark. I'm the type of person who is more comfortable talking than texting.

That said I do read a lot of Fanons and comments and I am interested in contributing to the Wiki in a constructive and fun way So I hope this helps some new writers learn something new while also giving veteran writers a chance to have some fun and explain how they made specific seasons or events from a season work. Originally I was just going to make a blog explaining how the finale of my first season worked, but I didn't think that warranted it's own blog since it was just me and decided to open up a forum for everyone to share some of their favorite moments, episode and eliminations to write and how they made it work.

I remember a while back someone asking the wiki in general what the best way to write a fanon was. I responded by saying I noticed three different distinct types of writing styles. Planners, who lay out their whole season start to finish before uploading them to the wiki. Improv Writers, who fly by the seat of their pants and write based on what they feel would happen in the moment. and Hybrid Writers who lay out a basic skeleton of the story, but then fill in the body of events as they see fit.

Of the three I'm definitely a Hybrid Writer I always know my boot order and who wins every challenge before I start, but I prefer to feel out the more personal scenes as I write. Sometimes I take in user feedback and change some scenes at camp or on Reward, but I never really budge on the boot order or challenge winners.

I do hope this does get some good feedback, because I am interested in some of the inner workings of how people like to write. Like I said I wrote out my whole thought process on the finale of Survivor: Comoros which I may upload later to show a more specific example of how I personally handle my seasons. I just hope you all find this as interesting as I do because I am legitimately interested in hearing more about how other writers came up with their favorite moments to write and I do think exploring this can be very helpful to all of us as writers.
