Resources for Writers

Greetings, fanfiction writers and fellow *NSYNC fans! I come to you today to offer a few resources to our authors looking to level up their art.  I also want to gently encourage writers to please do a round of read through and editing on your fanfiction chapters and stories. The reading experience is very important-- if your reader can't get lost in the story, your reader can't reap the benefits of your work.  In this time when fans are inspired, the archive may receive some attention and I want your work to SHINE. Spelling, grammar, spacing all need a closer look.

Need more assistance? Reach out. We are NSYNCFICTION on twitter and Instagram and nsyncfictionarchive at GMAIL.

Following are great free/low cost resources for spellcheck/grammar/writing and story planning- don't forget that for $3 a month you can join our Patreon (PATREON.COM/NFCOMMUNITY), which gives access to our discord community where you can commune with our writers and fellow fans. We have a GREAT time in there!
