Man, it's tricky isn't it? Everybody loves the big action set pieces—and you should absolutely write those eventually—but I've found my most read scenes are actually the quiet, in-between moments. That cafeteria conversation where Bakugou grunts a single word and Kirishima beams like he won the lottery. Or that time Aizawa just silently drinks his jelly pouch while the class chaos erupts around him. These smaller beats let you explore character voice without the pressure of a plot. They're also way easier to start with; pick two characters, put them in a mundane setting (laundry room, convenience store after school, waiting outside Recovery Girl's office), and just let them talk. The 'My Hero' world is so dense with unspoken history, even a simple interaction can feel loaded. My last fic's most kudos'd chapter was just Tokoyami and Dark Shadow arguing over a manga. Give yourself permission to write the small stuff first.
Another thing that helped me: I stopped trying to mimic the anime's pacing. In a visual medium, fights can last episodes. In prose, a blow-by-blow description of a training exercise can get tedious fast. Focus on the sensory details the anime can't: the smell of burnt sugar from Bakugou's sweat, the specific ache in Deku's fingers after a smash, the texture of Todoroki's ice underfoot. That immediate, grounded perspective pulls readers right into the scene. And if you're stuck on where to even begin a scene? I literally just use a random dialogue generator prompt like 'You owe me five hundred yen' or 'Is that my toothbrush?' and drop two characters into it. Sounds silly, but it works.
I take a completely opposite approach from a lot of guides. I don't start with the characters or the setting. I start with the emotion I want the reader to feel by the end of the scene. Amped-up? Heartbroken? Uncomfortably seen? Then I work backwards. If I want a scene that leaves a hollow, aching feeling, I might write Shinsou after a failed mind-control attempt, alone in his dorm, staring at the ceiling. The dialogue, the action, it all services that final emotional beat. MHA is perfect for this because the characters' powers are so metaphorically tied to their inner lives. A scene where Uraraka accidentally makes herself float while crying? That's a whole mood right there, no fancy fight choreography needed. It forces you to be intentional with every line instead of just filling space between explosions.
Honestly? Steal from the source. Not the plot, but the structure. Re-read a manga chapter or re-watch an episode and just...transcribe it into prose. Describe the panels, the camera angles, the sound effects, as written sentences. It's a mechanical exercise, but it teaches you how Horikoshi builds tension and releases it, how he balances dialogue with action. After a few scenes, you'll start instinctively understanding the rhythm. Then you can swap out the characters or change the setting—what if the USJ attack happened at a mall instead? What if Kirishima was the one to find Kota on that mountain? You're using the existing scaffolding, but you're decorating it with your own ideas. It demystifies the whole 'how to start' process.
Biggest lesson I learned: cut the internal monologue. In the anime, Deku's narrating is a staple. On the page, a paragraph of his anxious overthinking can kill a scene's momentum. Show his anxiety through his actions—muttering, fidgeting, writing frantic notes. Let the dialogue and action do the heavy lifting. Start a scene in medias res, right as the conflict kicks off, not five paragraphs before.

You think I care about titles?” he asked, stepping even closer until I could feel the heat radiating from him. “Do you think that matters to me?”
“It should,” I said, my voice breaking slightly. “It matters to me.”
He tilted his head slightly, studying me. "Why? Why does it matter so much to you?"
“Because,” I said quickly, searching for the right words. “Because people like me... we don’t belong with people like you. You’re... you’re powerful, and I’m—”
“Beautiful,” he cut me off, his voice firm.
I froze, my words dying on my lips. “What?” I whispered.
“You’re beautiful, Sophia,” he said again, his tone softer this time. “And I’m tired of pretending I don’t notice it. You think being a maid defines you, but it doesn’t. Not to me.”

Honestly, I think aiming for 'popular' right out of the gate is the quickest way to burn out. The biggest fics in 'My Hero Academia' didn't start with that goal; they started because someone had a weird, specific idea they couldn't shake. Maybe it's 'What if Izuku had a different quirk?' but we've seen a million of those. Dig deeper. What if the League of Villains ran a legitimate temp agency? What if Aizawa secretly fostered cats from the USJ incident? Find the detail that makes you cackle alone at 2 AM and build out from there.
Structure helps me when I'm drowning in ideas. I don't plan every chapter, but I nail down the emotional beats. Where does the story hurt? Where does it soar? Knowing that Izuku and Bakugou have a reckoning in chapter 8, or that Uraraka has a solo hero moment in chapter 12, gives me a roadmap. The filler action scenes get written around those pillars. And update consistently, even if it's short. A loyal, small readership that trusts you to deliver is worth more than a viral one-shot that never continues.
My current WIP is a slow-burn romance between two background characters, and it gets maybe a tenth of the hits of an OP Izuku story. But the comments are from people who genuinely care about these characters I fleshed out from a single panel. That feels more like 'popular' to me than any big numbers ever could.
Writing fan fiction for 'My Hero Academia' is such a blast because the world is already so vibrant and full of possibilities. The first thing I always do is decide whether I want to stick close to canon or take a wild detour. If I’m exploring an alternate universe, like a quirkless Izuku still becoming a hero or a villain-centric story, I spend time brainstorming how the ripple effects would change the dynamics. For canon-compliant stories, I reread arcs or rewatch episodes to nail the character voices—Bakugo’s explosive temper isn’t just yelling; it’s got layers of insecurity and pride.
One trick I swear by is stealing tiny canon details and expanding them. That throwaway line about Midnight’s teaching style? Perfect for a slice-of-life fic in UA’s staff room. I also love writing OCs, but they need to feel organic—like Mei’s eccentric inventor friends or underground heroes who’d logically exist but never got screen time. Fight scenes are tricky; Horikoshi’s art does half the work in the manga, so in prose, I focus on kinetic language (think ‘how’ Stain moves, not just ‘what’ he does). Lastly, I drop drafts in Discord servers for beta readers who spot when I accidentally make Todoroki too chatty. The key is balancing what fans love about the original while carving out your own space.
Man, this is a dynamic I love seeing explored but it's so easy to mess up. The main pitfall is turning Eri into a prop for Deku's heroism. She's not a damsel, she's a trauma survivor learning to trust again. The most gripping scenes I've read aren't about him saving her from physical danger again, but the quiet moments where her learned fear clashes with his inherent gentleness. Maybe she flinches when he moves too fast, and he has to figure out how to recalibrate his entire energetic presence around her. That's character work.
Focus on the contrast between his analytical mind—the way he probably studies child psychology notes from Recovery Girl—and his sheer emotional instinct to protect. Let him make mistakes. Let him get frustrated when he can't 'fix' things, because that's real. The engagement comes from watching two broken people build something stable together, brick by tiny brick. A scene of them just coloring, where he's carefully not using his full strength to snap a crayon, says more than another Overhaul fight rewrite.
