The Last one went well enough.You writing?You reading?
anything good out there? I just find tons and tons of goonslop on ao3Only fanfics i really keep track of is one rwby writer, and only the ones that are interesting/funny
The only fanfiction I ever read not including "official fanfiction" which is 90% of all content these days is the one where Shocker (the Spider-Man villain) becomes a superhero, because /co told me it was amazing. Surprise, it fucking sucked. Garbage characterization and most of it only seems to exist as an excuse to suck off Shocker for some reason. I guess every shitty character needs an obsessed fan.
>>153297977if you keep finding, as the kids say, ''goonslop'', why don't you just limit the ratings to general?
>>153298095cuz i like mature themes but i don't want to eat shit?
>>153298095You can filter the porn by excluding Explicit, but some authors put even mild violence under mature, so you’re really limiting yourself.
>>153298126i was reading an mha fic a while ago on ao3 that i found via tvtropes that was a realistic take on statuatory rape and it was a pretty good read. but its tags mean its included with all the poorly written goonslop
>>153297959All the Tech Jacket cunnylust posting got me to write smut of Zoe getting raped, mindbroken, and bred by Viltrumites.
>>153297959Why are there so many people on fanfiction.net saying I can make this into a comic now?
>>153298149Bots trying to scam you.
>>153298149better imagination than you i guess? call their bluff and ask them to do art
>>153298149The site is infested with bots unfortunately.
>>153298152 Yes but how is it so stupid why is it so common now and why hasn't it gone away I mean does anyone ever fall for it?
>>153298158>>153298152new ai prompt like "you should put this on a t-shirt"?
>>153298161I guess so. Otherwise it wouldn't keep happening.
>>153298149Same on AO3 and Tumblr except it’s people asking if they can do art of your stuff or if you take commissions. I don’t understand the scam.
>>153298161>does anyone ever fall for it?That's how these kind of shotgun approaches work. If 5000 people see your AI shitpost and only 1% takes it seriously, that's still 50 people.
>total word count of all my works is over 3.6 million
>>153298182And it's bound to be the 50 dumbest people in that group, so the most likely to fall for whatever scam you're pulling.
>>153298175>I don’t understand the scam.You give them money and they either give you AI generated art or jack fucking shit. I took the bait the first time but I wised up before I actually sent the fucker any money.
>>153298140Well done
>>153298211thank you, i do this for the homies
>>153298095you want to exclude by category, not by rating
Is it true people are migrated from fanfiction.com to archiveofourown and is it because of those annoying Bots who wants to make your comics?
>>153298232>infinite bots>horrible fucking tag systemYou just can't win
hey! About to watch Hoppers tonight, and I know there's a ship between the MC and the villain, is there any good fanfiction you'd recommend for this pair?
>>153298232from the single author i read on FFit's also because FF as a site itself is just getting shittier through lack of maintenance and old bugs
>>153298232People have been migrating to the Archive for at least 10 years now. FFN's just been naturally declining. The bots don't help though.
>>153298242 Is that why none of the newest stuff I uploaded is measuring how many people saw the Fanfictions I made at the certain point? You know keep it track of the views?
>>153298256I have no idea, just the author I read occasionally runs into issues with uploads and the like and complains in the totally necessary authors note
>>153298232I only haven't done it because I have one ongoing story on FFN I'd feel bad for cutting off.
>>153298256Probably
>>153298184What are you even writing about?
>>153298232I migrated to AO3 from a completely different website but I don't want to say which one because I'm one of the few people to migrate to AO3 from that website, and if I say it here then anyone else who is familiar with that website would probably be able to guess who I am.
>>153298297he's that one guy writing that uber autist super smash bros or whatever fic that's longer than anything else in the world
I'm trying to upload my stuff one chapter at the time after doing that amount of editing and reading it from fanfiction.net to archiveofourown.I think one chapter a day of one thing is a good pays to do stuff and not over exhaust myself. These 3 are what I have uploaded so far.
I was never autistic enough for fanfic.
>>153298308Spacebattles or Sufficient Velocity. Maybe even Althist or whatever the fuck then.
>>153298297Pretty much whatever the hell I feel like writing, really. I can honestly say that the universe I write has everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink.
>>153298184Bitch numbers. Get into 10 digits before bragging.
>>153298326Wrong on all three counts. The only hint I will give you is that it's a community with roots right here on 4chan.
>>153298312>assisted by ai
>>153298375I really don't understand this nor the sheer autism of thinking AI will be trained on your writings some delusional faggots have.Like, come on
>>153298375>>153298395And I must clarify that I think AI is shitty to use with my first remark.
>>153298375depends on what kind of assistance. if anon's only using it for copy editing, it's really no different than using something like Grammarly.
>>153298395the nu-moralist mob is like that. Kids were pretty much raised in moral purity so now they thing intellectual property is sacred
>>153298406>>153298395>>153298375>>153298312 Honestly it was just me having fun with the new AI thing at first but more and more I made an actual Direction and actual plan and structure with a story and actually did more editing including Oxley making changes from the AI myself and on archiveofourown I actually edited individual scenes and took out parts that were on it on fanfiction not net for those fanfics.A lot of times it's my proof reader and grammar and punctuation editor.
>>153298366Is it that choose your own adventure thing that used to have its own board here? I forgot the name of the site but I dabbled a bit there years ago.
>>153298432Just do it yourself, Trust me when I say you'll learn more if you have to actually go through your own writing instead of leaving it all to a computer. You'll notice oddities in your prose, maybe better words to communicate what you mean, and a greater overall structure to a paragraph or sentence. When your medium is purely one element, small details matter more than you think
>>153298437Nope. Honestly, I'm hoping you can't guess it, so I'm not gonna make it any easier for you.
>>153297959The problem is that good stories, if they exist, are impossible to find. With art, you gauge the quality in a matter of seconds. With stories, it takes at least a minute unless it's utter shit, and by the 30th one, you're burned out for the day.I usually search for smut, and you would think 34 fics would be easy to write, especially with all the lore and characters already established, but the quality to garbage ratio is absolutely grim. I guess because the entry barrier to writing is so low. But then some fandoms that are huge on /co/ barely break a dozen stories. There's actually a far greater amount of fappable original stuff that I find.If someone can recommend some good 34 writers that write within any of the /co/ fandoms, go ahead. I'm into a lot of stuff, so as long as the core fetish is not some completely fringe crap like vore, gore or scat, I'll check it out. If you know some original writers, you can recommend those too.You can also ask me if I can recommend you something. I follow a lot of different authors. Although ironically, the more vanilla and popular the fetish, the less recommendations I have, because it's so hard to find in a huge pile of mediocre crap.>>153298395My problem with AI is 99% that it's shit and only 1% that it's immoral. It's like you're reading the most generic pulp imaginable written by someone with a bad memory and terrible pacing problems. It can't even rip-off sex scenes in an exciting manner.>>153298413No, it usually means that they make AI write something, but then actually go over it and remove the most egregious and confusing errors before they post it. So it's closer human-assisted AI.
The first fanfic I posted online is 18 years old now. I was 15 when I wrote it. God, I'm old.
>>153298395>thinking AI will be trained on your writingsI mean, that part is somewhat true. If it's text and it's freely available on the internet, it's free data going into the big AI machine. The thing that people get wrong is thinking this means it's going to copy your shitty Dr Who slash fiction or whatever. Fuck, earlier today I conversed with someone who thought AI literally just copypastes stuff it finds online.
>>153297959I started writing a Wonder Woman fan fic. Premise is what I would do if I got to write her post another reboot.Didn't get far because homework is quite a lot right now.
>>153298457 A few things with that I have Asperger's I do not know how to do punctuation correctly as evidenced by a lot of people tell me on this board and I need to use speech to text and the internet program I use that on does not read it back to me. Also over time it's been a lot more me doing it than just leaving it to the computer to do it you can notice it the most with later chapters in my one fanfiction where I started making the actual chapters. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14459440/7/Ashes-of-Trust-The-Gamble-of-Zero-Assisted-by-AI
>>153298484What are you doing on /co/ unc?
>>153298480>My problem with AI is 99% that it's shit and only 1% that it's immoral. It's like you're reading the most generic pulp imaginable written by someone with a bad memory and terrible pacing problems. It can't even rip-off sex scenes in an exciting manner. And my experience most Ai are prunes about stuff like sex scenes.
>>153298491oh
>>153298491>I have Asperger's I do not know how to do punctuation correctlyThose two things are 100% unrelated and I think less of you for using your mental illness as an excuse to be a lazy faggot. You can be an autistic piece of shit and still learn how to write properly.
>>153298503That's when AI started getting really shitty. When it refused to translate raw manga pages. Fucking piece of shit. Yes, there are titties. Tell me what the goddamn thing says.You can't because the dialogue is sexual in nature?Are you fucking kidding me?
There's one fanfic on Ao3 I keep coming back to, it's a crossover between Metalocalypse and Pilot era Hazbin Hotel called "Life After Dethklok". The author did a wonderful job of keeping it true to both series and meshing them together. It felt like reading a novelization of an actual episode.In terms of what I'm writing, I'm currently finishing up a new chapter of a crossover between Armored Core 6 and Murder Drones called "Armored Core: Copper Frost". Previously, I wrote an Emmy the Robot fanfiction entitled, "Bringing Mary Back Redux".Fanfiction like everything else is subject to sturgeon's law, 99% of everything is crap, and you need to sadly swim through a lot of shit to find the diamonds, but when you find good ones, it can make the bullshit worth it.
>>153298480>The problem is that good stories, if they exist, are impossible to find.I've been on the hunt since I was a young teenager and downloaded all the stories that have even passively interested me. Everything from each author. Within the last few years, I've been going back, ranking them on how they fit my tastes and character accuracy.At work, I learned how to use MS Access to create databases, and now I'm importing my spreadsheets into Access to create a similar database. Except instead of medical work information, it curates thousands of fanfictions for me. There's an AI site that tries to do the same but this maps my interests over a decade, so I don't feel too bad about the time i've invested.
>>153298563NTA and my answer is only tangential to what you just said, but I'm currently working on some AO3 offline library that lets a user track what fanfictions they read, plan to red, lets them build shelves and most importantly scans for updateswould you be able to do what you did with just shelves, or should I implement more cataloging tools?
>>153297959Hear me out (1/2)
>>153298618(2/2)
>>153298618>>153298628>TMNT and NarutoI could see that working, just off the top of my head I can see some rando inventing something akin to ooze in the Naruto setting or someone on TMNT Earth discovering something akin to jutsus.
>>153298658That already happened officially, as well as TMNT meeting He-Man. This idea crosses all three plus one more ingredient. (Can you guess?)
>>153298687Beats the hell out of me, I haven't kept track of those kinds or shows in ages. But it does sound like you'll have fun writing it, so go nuts.
>>153298612If that's all you need, I don't see why you would catalog more. Just know if you ever want to expand your tracker, it would be a pain to go back and re-catalog everything. I always catalog excessively in case I ever want to add anything new in the future. >most importantly scans for updatesI want to do something similar but I'm not good enough of a programmer. My basic attempts at site crawling were blocked; things are too advanced now.
>>153298486>AI literally just copypastes stuff it finds onlinePeople who think that are much closer to the truth than the idiots who think LLMs are something even resembling sci-fi AI that can actually "think". If you ask the AI to write Dr. Who slashfiction, it's pretty much going to regurgitate some median of all Dr. Who fanfiction and all slashfiction it has catalogued. So it could very well rip-off some of your scenes and plot points.
>>153298731yeah cloudflare is a pain in my ass but I finally got something working. I hope I build something good enough so that it actually gets usage from other people than me, but if not it's okay
>>153298232I wasn't aware of the bots. I've been moving away from FFN because everyone else has been doing it.FFN has slowly and gradually been bleeding users to AO3 for years by now. It's partly because AO3 had superior features to offer, and partly because the migration created self-sustaining momentum at some point. Increasing numbers of people would go for the modern and active website instead of the old stagnant one, which would only speed up FFN's fall to irrelevance.Tagging/filters/commenting are a lot more useful on AO3. Most of the new fandoms get an active fanbase there yet no content on FFN. Meanwhile, I don't know about others but I've had some major functionality issues with FFN. It feels like both the userbase and the owners of the site have given up on it.There are still a handful of old-timers who keep sticking around on FFN. I'll occasionally check out some of those guys. But almost everyone else has been migrating to AO3.
>>153298834I moved to Ao3 because I thought FFN was gone. I didn't realize it was there until I decided to look it up after 20 years. Hell, my old fanfic is still there, that cringey mess.
>>153298834>It's partly because AO3 had superior features to offerI fucking love work skins, the AO3 versions of my works look so much better than the originals. And there's a 4chan workskin too but I can't post the link so you'll have to find it yourself.
>>153298834>Tagging/filterno, they're not
>>153298406I remember using AI for a while to spell check. One time it did a multi response thing, and in one it told me "get in" is the most natural, while in the other response it told me "get on" is the most natural. After that I just ask a friend I have in the States to clarify me these things. AI is trained on too many retards to be trusted to write any serious work.
>>153298184I don't think I've ever published over a million words, though I have broken the 100k for works several times.
>>153299010Well, yeah. It's not real AI. It's a fucking large language model.
>look for Batman crossover fics>have to exclude Spider-Man/Danny Phantom/Ladybug because there's so fucking many of themI know its all because there would be one pretty good fic to begin with and then everyone copies it with their own flair, but god is it annoying sometimes.
>>153298480Sometimes I check the author’s bookmarks or who bookmarked the fic when I find something good in hopes of getting similar quality and taste.Original works is an underrated nsfw goldmine though.
I read 40 Bittersweet Candy Bowl fanfics.
>>153297977It varies, i don't have the best taste so far as i can tell based off what people mostly write but there's just not a lot to read atm either.
>>153299231Miraculous ladybug in particular is 90% Marinette dating Damian or occasionally Dick but you've always got the robins/batgirls talking about her being adopted by Bruce because he has a problem with dark hair and blue eyed children
FFN is nice because you can still find some very comfy old fics and fics before people were mindraped by tumblr/tranny/jew nonsense
>>153299010It’s predictive text, it’s putting words in order based on algorithmic probability not referencing a body of knowledge the way your mind does
>>153299497what
>writing about xj9 taking horsecock from alien invaders>writing about neytiri taking horsecock from alien invadersi need new material
>>153299616bruh
>>153299027My longest individual work is over 200k words and 30+ chapters at the current time, and it's still ongoing. Only five of my works have passed 100k, but quite a few more are close.
>>153299616wb ruby gillman taking horsecock from alien invaders
>>153298184Once I publish chapter 36 of my current work, it will be sitting just north of 120k words.
>>153297959Reading
There should be a fanfiction board.It sucks that /lit/ doesn't allow fanfiction discussion.
I did this fanart for Stand and Deliver (I posted it at the end of last thread).
There needs to be more Ruby crossover suffering kino.
>>153297959This was this really good ATLA fanfiction where Ursa and Kya somehow got swapped (Ozai married Kya and Hakoda married Ursa) I can't find it anymore
>>153300136I wish Oneiros would finally do something with Four Deadly Secrets, it's been over a decade and last i heard (like a year or so ago) he was doing a re-write that's making progress. But i haven't heard much since. Suffering is fine so long as it builds character and they actually grow from it. And in the case of Ruby i mean tells her team to fuck off and just runs off to kill Grimm till she dies like she wanted (and get a team that's not a bunch of little shits till she gets to a point where beating salem is actually possible even if it's more in vein of stopping her current plans and forcing her back to her castle)Awhile back i did a bunch of background work on a potential fic with the premise that Glynda never shows up in Ep 1, Ruby's still fine because unlike canon she remembers like 1 minute earlier when Roman shot at her and she avoided it so the only real change is Ruby being at Signal instead of Beacon, and considering she was likely one of the top first years in beacon based off what we see i assume she's kinda terrifying to everyone else at signal.
>>153299616Well I hope they enjoyed it
>>153299616People need to realize there's more to life than horse cock.
>>153297959>try to write fic idea buzzing in your head>can’t get a paragraph without it feeling bad>try to draw it>oh god your art sucks you’ll never escape your failure life kill yourself now>mope until sleep then ignore it a few weeks and repeat patternHow to escape?
>>153301005The reality is no matter what, the first fic you write is going to be shit regardless of how good you feel about it now, because years later you'll look back and go, "oh god, how did I think this was decent."On the bright side, the truth is you're going to have other ideas for new stories you'll feel just as strongly about later, if not even more, and one day after you've written and posted enough about those other stories, you can go back and rewrite your first idea to give it the justice you feel it really deserves.
>>153301005>can’t get a paragraph without it feeling badFuck it feeling bad, just do it. You can always go back over and improve on it. Get some friends to help you write and proofread it. Feeling cringey? Fuck it, it's a natural part of the process. Keep at it and you'll get better. One of the best things about fanfiction is that you can always go back and change it, it's not like a published book. I've gone back and made changes and fixes to my own work ( >>153298525 ), and even put in notes at the end of chapters letting readers know what I did, especially when it comes to adding stuff like pictures and recommendations for music.Keep on keeping on, don't let yourself get in the way.
>>153297959>You reading?Throuple fics to cope with how bad ASM is I don't mind all the sex stuff but I wish more of them explored the dynamic, system of trust and interpersonal communication needed for it to work
>>153301186Peter has been cucked and raped beyond belief.he deserves two thicc bitches
>>153301186 Is she offering him sex?if yes give me the link .
>>153297959I've had an idea or two for fanfic but I always feel like my ideas would work better as like one-off fetish art than a full story. The only issue with that is, I can't draw for shit, and I'm too cheap and too broke to commission stuff, especially with multiple characters. I also don't trust my writing abilities enough to keep consistent and source-accurate characterization for the characters, which is why my attempts at writing thus far have been original characters and settings. All that being said I still have the idea budding to try and write something even if it turns out middling or outright bad.I feel like "I find it hot" isn't a good idea alone for fanfic, especially anything extended to more than a short story or something
>>153301197https://archiveofourown org/works/51286153/chapters/129582487Here's another onehttps://archiveofourown org/works/71173701just add the period
>You reading?A writer I've been following put out a new chapter for his Coffin of Andy and Leyley fic so I gotta read that. Otherwise, just some TLH fics to cure the boredom!>You writing?At a snails pace.
>>153299914I agree but maybe fanfiction is too narrow of a scope. Could be a fan works board maybe or something like that? idk
>>153301326Closest you can make is a thread on /trash/
>>153298311I think /mlp/ might have beaten that number with their collaborative fanfic story in form of a general that was up from 2014 until 2025 with something like 300+ threads of a complete story
>>153301366lol what
>>153301366some autist is writing a MLP / RWBY crossover fic that's 4.6 million wordsand I'm sure on AO3 you can find bigger ones
>>153297959penis in vagain3
>>153298009Is that the one Max Landis wrote? I always research a fanfic before read it, the TVTropes page for that one notes that characters like Iron Man and Mr Fantastic fellate Shocker for his amazing technology.
>>153301372So basically in /mlp/ circa 2014 a random thread was created that was a shitpost about what if an unlikely character gets turned into a Princess and tried to fix the world, anons find it amusing and some start to write comedic greentext of such scenario, and other anons would join and write more scenarios or write follow ups to other anons' greentexts, like a collaborative book in which another person can write the next page based on what the last person did and so on. At the end of the first thread they had a theme, recurring gags and established character dynamics, so the anons continued with another thread keep writing about this status quo they created. When a thread was over, they continued until it became a general with multiple anons working in what basically became one big story with a huge cast, character arcs and multiple story arcs that would constantly change their status quo. Think of it like the Marvel/DC style of multiple writers working for the same universe only that the editors are fellow writers and readers too.All this in the span of a decade with over 383 threads of anons contributing to this big story that just last year was finally finished after most of the plot threads were resolved, a grand majority of characters got resolutions to their arcs and there simply was no way to escalate further the kind of conflicts that the final arcs dealt with, so the anons of the thread unanimously agreed to finally end the story with epilogues for their characters. It's long as fuck and autistic, it's like 190k posts long and even lowballing that thing it might be in the 5 million word range, because some threads also had discussions/arguments about their story.
>>153301319Besides an unholy amount of incest what do you get out of LH fics?
Just realized that AO3 has been out of beta for weeks. Why was it in beta for over a decade? For what reason?
>>153298009If this is that Shocker fanfic that Max Landis wrote then it's 100% guaranteed the numerous recommendations you got were coming from Landis and people associated with him
>>153301881lol, what the fuckdoesn't that jew write for actual movies?
>>153298009>>153301496>>153301881It has to be, it used to be a joke on /co/ when Superior Foes came out because Landis acted stupid on twitter and said they copied him
>>153301959He's nepo baby and the worst thing John Landis has ever done
>>153301967lollmaooooooo>>153301983name someone who isn't at this pointamateur writers really don't know flaws make characters, especially if they're supposed to be a bad guy going good
What do you anons think of fics that have over a 1million+ words and that have been continuing on for years? They also have little to no comments, kudos, bookmarks etc?Is it autism? I genuinely respect those authors despite not reading the stories.
>>153302046Sometimes you just need to write a story for yourself.That's what I've been doing since January and it's over 130k words now.
Max Landis lurks or used to lurk here and even tried to shill Chronicle when it came out
>>153302046Some of it is just poor tagging. There’s a character that I really like and, through searching it on Twitter, I found an author who had over 100k+ words of stuff on him. Only 60 kudos, 3 total comments across all the works, barely any views.I check the character tag daily and wondered why I’d never found the stories. This dumbass is tagging like it’s still 2013 and just discovered hashtags. They’re good stories too but good luck on anyone ever finding them.
>>153298184>My fanfic/setting and writing is over 1 million words>Have not published it anywhere yet
>>153302405It it finished at least?
>>153302544No, it's an ongoing project. The latest saga is over 54 chapters. Someday I want to turn it into a webcomic.
>>153302046>>153302069Having a passion project is nice, gives you something to do, something to strive for, helps keep busy.
>>153301832>unholy amount of incestYou got me. I'm impartial to that. Don't really care for it but don't hate it either, which is funny because thats basically 95% of The Loud House's fanbase. They've even got an offchute called The Sin Kids, which is just Lincoln having a child with each sister. I'll admit it's an interesting concept and I do like it considering all the kids have their own fleshed out personalities. I know a Lupafag roams around here. If you're reading this; Hello! Anyways, in general, I stick to the K+ - T stuff. Happy or sad. Down to earth stories are my bread and butter.
>>153297959Writing some RWBY. Reading some RWBY. Still a lot of good RWBY fanfiction coming out despite the show being dead and having gone downhill leading up to that. >>153298232I prefer AO3 nowadays purely because of its superior comment and reply section.>>153299914It'd be a slow ass board, relatively speaking at least.
>>153297959There's not enough Diary of a Wimpy Kid, King of the Hill crossovers, or Ed Edd and Eddy crossoversAlso I hate massive crossovers, I wish there was a way to filter them out cause they clutter every time I search for crossovers
>>153303886more than that when i'm looking for a crossover it's really annoying when they did the same setting as the 'crossover' like Game of thrones and ASOIAF as the 2 crossover series, this is especially bad with series that have Web series/Manga/Anime like Youjo senki where you'll get a crossover that's just those 3 'settings'
>>153303886Massive crossovers always strike me as just too much. Too much to keep track of, too much to try and get to work together, too easy to get confusing.I prefer to keep it to two or three settings at most. Keep it simple, stupid.
>>153303886When I don’t filter out crossovers I just exclude the biggest fandoms i don’t want to see a few times after doing the search and that thins out the megataggers
>>153302046Well, it is designed as an archive not a publishing platform. I’ve noticed sometimes they’re crossposts and all their subs and comments are on ffn if the fandom predates ao3.
>>153303886I auto exclude crossovers can't think of a single one that's worth reading.
>>153298232Ao3 because it allows much more degen content Plus the font is much more pleasurable to read on mobile
>>153297959I'm re-reading Like One Sundered Star again. Just something to do when there's downtime at work. Plus, since all it's parts together are about 1.7 million words, it'll take me a minute to get through it all.
>>153297959I'm reading something like a sequel of murder drones. It's honestly pretty well made for fanfic and resolves a lot of the plotholes and reintroduces a lot of the shit the MD used as a one off thing like magnets affecting drones, the clones that Cyn and J mentioned, JCJenson relevance and all sorts of difficult shit
Like I said in the last one of these threads, it's far easier to just ignore and get over a straight up terrible or gross story, but when you come across something that actually has an interesting premise/concept and some interesting ideas to it but then you start reading it and it's plain just shittily written? That's way worse. That kind of thing makes me want to write my own story to fix their wasted premise.
Chuuni fem jesus is playing castlevania with an Angsty Werewolf, Fem Don Quixote and Swole Priest forma de skinny while driving a truck that is powered by the flames of gehena and skulls of vampires.
>>153298232AO3 has good content policies in the twitter era of retards who get hysterical about everything, that alone makes it worth using. I already have God judging me for my works, I don't need retards squealing at me about them.
>>153305011Magnets and electromagnets effecting the drones aren't a fucking one off thing, it shows up repeatedly throughout the show. Why the fuck can't people use the word "plot hole" properly? You can compliment a good fanfic without being retarded about the original story.
>>153298232It's just a more pleasant experience I can filter the gay stuff easily.
>>153303944Crossovers only really worm if you have at least a general idea of every piece involved.The bigger the crossover the more and more niche it becomes.
>>153297959
I'm looking for any DC recommendations, and in return all I have to offer are a Pokemon and Digimon Adventure fic, but they're both some of the best fanfics I've found.The Pokémon fic is "Traveler". Follows a heavily rewritten Ash who instead of receiving Pikachu from Oak, got a Nidoran M instead. It's sort of a reconstruction deal, everything is thought out and explained how dangerous some of the stuff is, but also how great things can be as well.Like early on, Ash and his friends from Pallet are nearly killed by a Rocket Exec's Muk. After they're saved, they're back on the road in a day or two thanks to the amazing medicine available due to Pokémon. The Digimon fic is "Dreaming to Reality". A Multi-part 02 fixfic, bringing in Ryo and Millenniumon and maybe more. Mainly focuses on Hikari and Ken, but not as a ship. Keeps the older kids relevant, even before they're all reunited with their partners, at least one of them is with the younger Chosen when they go to the Digital World. Adds one OC Chosen that's been handled really well so far.
>>153302238what's the difference between good tagging and bad tagging?
>>153298138>an mha fic a while ago on ao3 that i found via tvtropes that was a realistic take on statuatory rape'A special place in hell'? It looks interesting, but it hasn't been updated in a while.I'm also a bit apprehensive at the yaoi, I'm not going to run and scream at the sight of it, but at least tell me it doesn't become sappy too frequently.
I know it's not /co/ but considering there's no other fanfiction threads: Anything good for Discworld or Silent Hill?
>>153297959Do you need an account to read stories on that godforsaken site? Getting harder and harder to masturbate in my country and I loved written porn for years before I learned some of the sites I liked had malware lol
>>153307159You don't need an account to access explicit content. Some authors do lock their stories, and you will have to create an account for that, but that's such a small minority that you'll be fine without.
>>153301959He was starting to get a presence in the industry but he won't stop plugging stuff like that fanfic I think there was some forum (Cracked, maybe?) where they realized Max was trying to plug his own Mario film script
>>153307182Thanks. I've also seen from google that there can be multiple URLs for the site, or other sites pretending to be it I guess. I assume the link on Wikipedia is the right one?
>>153307201I've never heard of other URLs, and I've been on the site for ages. That sounds scammy. But yes, the wiki link is the right one.
>>153307201always, ALWAYS, be suspicious of sites that seem to have more than one web domain that isn't a URL shortener. it's usually a phishing scheme.i do wonder though who the hell is trying to pwn fanfic nerds. that's some actual schizo shit.
Technically not co, but the STP/Disco Elysium crossover is fantastic.
>>153305814True. Twitter zoomer troons have freak outs over AO3 having problematic incest and rape fics every week. It's the last vestige of "female run" fandom not being censorious puritan cunts.Every time I heard about a board election, I get nervous. Hope they continue to stay strong.
>>153303886I like crossovers, but to me they should have some connection of story genre, like no sci-fi to fantasy or vice versa, it just bugs me most of the time.I also enjoy fusion types, where its like instead of two worlds separate and somehow interacting its the two settings merged.
>>153307201If you click on a proxy or mirror it should tell you due to the banner policy, but the official urls are in the faq. Some of them just exist to get around blacklisting, for example AO3 is blocked on Chinese internet, so chinese proxies come up more on google results if something is popular there. Just don’t enter your log in.

>>153298731>>153298563>>153298612As someone who used to build databases for profit, his idea of being exhaustive is great, but at some point, when you have hard and fast deadlines or don't have the unlimited slave labor (in my case, temp office coders) to help, especially if I have to spend a lot of time re-doing their shit), there's a limit to try to catalog everything. A plan is a good idea. An ideal of what you should capture is a good idea, and then try to capture as much of that as you can. Doing it as you go along, ONCE you have that plan and outline, is better than trying to go back and recreate something you should have building from day one. AI actually does this but can also do a half-ass job you then have to re-do.

Trying to get back to writing. At this point it's less about putting my work out there so people can kudos and comment, and more about simply getting it out of my head so I don't have to carry it around anymore. Right now I'm just writing 1k extracts from way later on in my fics, just to warm back up and remind myself that I can do this.
What are your fanfic redflags?>Bazillion of tags>Bazillion of crossovers>Bazillion of OCs >AUs done to death like muh coffee shops>Alpha/Beta/Omega faggotry>Walloftext>Reader or Y/N trash>Pre-established character is trans, FOR SOME REASON>Touch starved>OOC, I'm only ok with it if the writer actually tries to present to us events that caused OOC to happen>Modern politics out of fucking nowhere, on top of being in a setting that has no business discussing it
>>153298563I do appreciate the download button on ao3 for saving favorites for personal use. There are a couple backups of the ao3 site on archive.org and torrents, the whole archive is only about a terabyte because it’s mostly text fic. Not sure if that’s any use for db related trawling of this website, but they’re out there.
>>153309058>personal use
>>153309036M/M is a pretty reliable one.
>>153309074Yes…personal use.
>>153299429When I try that by going into the bookmarks of authors I like, I get the same fetish but much worse quality. Guess they set much higher personal standards for what they write.
>>153309036>Trans characterIt's an instant no. A/B/O like you posted, and vampire and werewolf fics in general. Self-inserts as well.
>>153309036>Touch starved Women are so ran through and attention spoiled they think the lack if any is traumitizing
im reading beatles gay sex fanfiction
>>153309861Does it at least have a good grasp of their personalities? Even the exaggerated personas for the cartoon?
>>153309861The only good omegaverse I've read was Beatles fanfic. No, you can't have the link.
>>153309222For that reason I like when the bookmarks on the fic have a number rating or review so I can tell if the one who bookmarked it is on the same page.
>>153308872Well, at least seventeen of my works have at least a hundred hits, and those seventeen works make up about 1.4 million of the total, so I'd say about 39% of the words I've written can be considered good, if my math is accurate.
Mostly RWBY stuff. There's like one autistic writefag who still keeps on writing them for some reason. Now he just needs to stop deleting his stuff
>>153310740Biggest problem with RWBY fanfiction right now is how many Jaune fics have him absurdly out of character as a protagonist or treat him like "bland male self-insert lead".

I'm writing a fanfic about Kpop Demon Hunters about a trio of female hunters (pic related) who most likely lived her young productive years during the Japanese occupation and World War II. After a brief career cut short by the war, one goes to the United States, another heads north to join the guerrillas, and the last one stays in the capital as a radio announcer working with the imperial government. The fic starts when they reunite one last time shortly after Japan’s surrender to stop a greater threat: an army of ultra-fanatical Japanese who would destroy the peninsula rather than surrender it, and a massive demon that has been lurking in the mountains, preying on the suffering of war. They plan to take care of both in one swing Since the last thread, I've been working on the last chapter of the fanfic. it's gotten so long that I'm going to split it into another chapter. What I had planned as a three-part fanfic will end up being six. Unfortunately, what I've noticed about KPDH is that the hype is slowly fading away. I've already moved on to other things myself. I've kept at it because I know I'll feel worse if I don't finish it.
>>153312167>spend six years agonising over epic genfic ideas>one 7000 word softcore oneshot has more engagement than everything elseI CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE
>>153312262most fanfic readers aren't in it for the long term
You do have a draft, right anon?>Get through a draft as quickly as possible. Hard to know the shape of the thing until you have a draft. Literally, when I wrote the last page of my first draft of Lincoln’s Melancholy I thought, Oh, shit, now I get the shape of this. But I had wasted years, literally years, writing and re-writing the first third to first half. The old writer’s rule applies: Have the courage to write badlyT.Joshua Wolf Shenk
>>153311167this was me after I found the one Superior Spider-Man fic that wasn't about Peter turning into a petulant dick after coming back
>>153312300>bothering with a draftthis is how you never get anything donewrite, goddammitedit aftermost people won't actually care
>>153312300Right now I'm just jumping ahead and writing fun bits. I think they're drafts - I'm not worrying too much about them. But how 'draft' does it have to be? Half the length? Just an outline with extended dialogue? What the fuck IS a draft? I JUST WANT TO FINISH SOMETHING
>>153312300No. I make an outline. Then I write and edit. Drafts are irrelevant.
>>153309021This is pretty much me, though I won't deny how nice kudos and particularly good comments are.I just had ideas that I already thought about a lot all jumbled up, and putting them to paper is very satisfying and a good way to not simply forget stuff I was thinking about.That alongside putting out stuff for rarepairs or decent smut of a pair when either nine or just really bad fics were the only options have been my main motivation to write
>>153312474I definitely still want feedback, but I know it probably won't come, especially in certain fandoms. When I was starting out I wrote garbage on ff.net, but I had a pretty regular core of reviewers. It was really cool to have people just constantly getting back to me. Now the general feeling is that people are commenting less. I try to go out of my way to leave a few paragraphs at least if there are a few cool ideas in anything I read.
>>153312262On a somewhat similar note>have written a bunch of different smutfics over the years>most popular story over all is just some kinda okay story I did of some guy banging a Vaporeon>was always a decent hit but the stupid fucking meme shit it high and it's still my most viewed/kudos'd workLike I like the story but it's annoying that it got popular cause of that shit
>>153312896what the fuck is wrong with you
My most popular story is still just a comedic one-shot I wrote in the span of like an hour or two. It's a little annoying when that happens but it's not unexpected.
>>153312474i love constructive criticism but it's so rare that i get any feedback from ao3 that isn't just glazing or "lmao kys"
>>153311167My favorite Persona fanfic hasn't updated in years and it's for a ship that doesnt get much new content beyond porn and hatefics.
>>153313078????????where do you think we are
>>153313200lmao kys
What's the best fic anyone here has read? Or rather, what are the fics that inspired you to try writing as well? I remember loving most of Chuckman's stuff on FF.net, he had a ton of cool Eva stuff.
I don't have time to read/ reading on a screen hurts my eyes so I plug fics on some TTS app on my phone and let them play when I'm going to sleep so I'll keep re-hearing the same 20 minutes of a fic every night over a week.
>>153313478Objectively best written is a couple of MLP fics. It's the simple truth that as far as fanfic scenes go, MLP had the best quality fiction produced from it.
>>153313538[citation needed]
>>153313538MLP shit sucks bad. Someone in another thread mentioned Harry Potter having the best quality fics, and I find it hard to disagree. More former Potter fic authors have transitioned to traditional publishing than any other fanbase. I can’t think of any MLP authors that went mainstream, besides maybe the Fallout one but that was self published.
>>153298140>>153298211>>153298225It's upao3/works/83486291
>>153309036the "__ Needs A Hug" tagmajority of the times it shows up has the author basically infantizing the character into some poor smol baby with panic attacks and shit.
It is once again time for me to ask for some fun Canon Divergence AU fanfics. Pic only tangentially related. I am still massively disappointed that the only fic I found that was vaguely similar to pic-related absolutely bent itself over backwards to keep things on track with the original storyI'm mostly looking for "[Event in canon] happens slightly differently, therefore, story goes in completely different direction"
>>153313934i used that for teenage characters
>>153313934That's just 'touch starved'
>>153313973Are we talking about As the Sun? I think that's pretty good. Even though the back end of it resembles canon I still think there's a lot of good character work
>>153309036>>Pre-established character is trans, FOR SOME REASONYou know, I don't even have any expressed problem with this on a basic level. It's creative writing, go nuts. Make a character trans if you fucking want, but have it actually serve a purpose. But fucking hell, the amount of time where it's just an element for no goddamned reason drives me insane. When it has no bearing on the story whatsoever and it's just there for the sake of being there. Fuck, man.
>>153309036I hate when the story description is just a few sentences from fic that are almost completely meaningless when taken out of context. That's just the Way Life Goes is a GOATed Life is Strange fic that updates weekly.
>>153314040Maybe? I can't for the life of me remember the name of the fic now and I can't seem to find it again, it's been so long since I read it. The one where she has Aang as her Avatar spirit guide? I fell off of it during the air temple chapter where Azula has the same Avatar-state reaction as Aang had to finding Gyatso's body, over being called a coward. Because at that point, it just felt like the author was trying to brute force Azula into doing the same things as Aang did.
>>153313934I'm guilty of doing this for Ruby and Weiss in my RWBY story, the tag at least, not the infantizing.
>>153313478r9kElsa and Brasier Année Zéro are the two that will always be in my heart
>>153314249This does have Aang as one of her guides, but I'm pretty sure this isn't it. I really recommend it, it's a shorter read but there's tons of good stuff in it. a03 /works/11385453/chapters/25494285
>>153307254"The Fury of a Shattered Mirror"I am ashamed that I have started reading the Kitsuragi edition before I have caught up to the original.>>153297977The only recc I have is to learn to use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10944-ao3-fic-s-style-blacklist-bookmarks
>>153312253It's a hell of a thing to rely on external validation, but a strong one nonetheless.
>>153297959Every time I try to write a capeshit fic it just feels like it's missing something. Superheroes are a visual genre, I want to mess with paneling and stuff, trying to express super powers with words is doable but also feels wrong. Like imagine having to describe Dr. Doom's latest freeze gun instead of having a Kirby-esque illustration of a washer sized contraption he's strapped to his chest
>>153314763I know the feeling. The best thing I can do is use evocative language, synonyms that best evoke sounds and actions. In that way I think you can still create a distinct image inside someone's head, if not on a page
>>153309036Too many distinct non-related fandoms [5+] means its going to be such a mess trying to fuse them together they should have made an original work at that point, or it's going to an utter bastardisation of the work.SI|Reader|Your/Name is too related to self-masturbatory powerwank that I have no interest wading that particular sea of shit any more.AUs like Modern|Harem|Human|etc. that are going to tell a story I have no interest in reading.AI 'edited'.

There's only one I liked and that's because I didn't read it on AO3, it was on geocities where the formatting could be taken to the max.and recently Wiki Warrior and Celestial Forge and Jumpchain. Because I came here to read a story, not someone's dream-diary of how how hard they masturbated last night.Trans characters I'm still open too since the ones I read (think it was Cyberpunk) didn't use it as a political bludgeon.

>>153313973There’s an ASOIAF fic called RABBITKILLER where Arya gets saved at the Sept of Baelor by Barristan Selmy rather than Yoren. This leads to her going east with him rather than north. Really good fic.There’s also Burn Them All, where Tywin is just a little later and Aerys manages to set off the wildfire beneath King’s Landing.
>>153315039One of mine updated earlier today after several years of nothing.
Just started my Terry x Inque fanfiction I’ve been workshopping. Working on some other fics too. A Ben 10 x MHA one that tries to organically fuse the alien stuff with that world and a Spider-Man one where Miles travels to 616 to spend Spring Break with Peter. That one’s mostly for fun desuHonestly the worst part of writing on AO3 is the tagging system. Half the time I don’t know what to put so I’m just sitting there like “Fuckin’ uuuuuhhhhh angst I guess”
>>153315186Yeah AO3 tagging can be a nightmare. I never know what to put down and then some fics have fucking everything tagged, every spoiler, everything.
>>153315242>Not spoiling the entire fucking story via tags and shitty summary
Who the fuck is aooo even populated by? Young women? There are hundreds of fanfics about the oddest shit, like music bands or TV shows no one with a brain watches. But then there's barely anything for a lot of popular cartoons and video games. It's almost an inversion of R34 art.
>>153315273loooooooooool
>>153315304By people who care enough about a fandom to write something about it and publish it to a website. If no-one's writing about your favourite game/cartoon, but making plenty of AIslopped porn then at least you can tell what other people like about that content, and it ain't the plot.

>>153315304Dumb horny wamen who only write smut. Mind you that majority of fics on Ao3 are just that, smut.
>>153299616 I hate that I recognize the source for that crop
>>153315273It's terrible. But slightly less terrible than if I messaged you directly, told you that you didn't know how to tag, then sent you a list of what you should change your tags into because I am more learned in how your fic should be tagged than you.There's no way around it other than AO3 consticting how many non-common tags and tags in total are allowed.
>>153299616How about... Smurfette... taking dogcock... from alien invaders?
>>153315395At least it ain't horsecock
>>153315352Foids need romance, men need sex. Foids go for smut, men go for porn. Foids are falling in love with AI chatbots, men like generating images. They're different creatures.
>>153297959All I've ever written was poorly made pornslop and more comedic shit with like 1 attempt at being serious. I'd like to try and write more but finding the effort is hard. At this point I am writing but it's more my own personal stuff rather than fanfics. Though the urge to write more porn slop does hit me every now and then
>>153315186I actually have some dialogue for the Spider-Man one. Context is that Peter and Felicia are arguing about something (most likely stupid) and Miles is just on his phone>Peter we are not arguing right now. Miles is right there and I don’t want to upset him>Miles is not our son!>I’m adopted?!>Oh Miles! We were going to tell you (She runs to Miles and hugs him, mad dogging Peter)>You guys are insaneI thought it would be funny if Felicia decided to play house to mess with Peter (and she’s actually a little into it) and Miles was going along cause he thinks it’s funny. Peter just wants to hang out with his friend and girlfriend and doesn’t have time for their nonsense (he thinks it’s a little funny)

Was anyone here when the fanfic purge happened? what was it like?
>>153315679i mean, it happenedthen it ended
>>153313478"Life After Dethklok" by WriteAnon on Ao3It's a crossover between the Hazbin Hotel pilot and Metalocalypse, it works disturbingly well and its like reading a novelization of an episode. I highly recommend it.
>>153297959>ReadingI found this Godzilla/Adventure Time crossover called Adventure Time: The New God and found it quite enjoyable, some good old fashioned fun.>WritingJust finished a fic I've been working on over the week and submitted it today. I'll give myself a day or two then get started on another.
>>153313478These two >>153306817With the honorable mention of an Omori fic, "Drying On The Steps", which had little progress either in plot or character for about 40 chapters, but my god the writing style was just so gripping that I didn't even notice.
>>153313478I remember really liking Cornwallace's on ff.net Sonic fanfictions, they inspired me back when I was an edgy teen. Most recent fic I read that I enjoyed is Chili and the Chocolate Factory.
>>153298232I'm seriously considering not uploading on ff anymore after I uploaded some niche smut and got a few reviews out of nowhere, got excited, spambotsLike I still have some readers that seem to prefer there but damn I don't want to contribute to ff shuffling along like a zombie with no one at the wheelAlso a decent bit of reviewers i've noticed on Ao3 now. Say what you will about the annoying stuff on Ao3 it's pretty much strictly better than ff and always getting better while ff is fucking rotting with no admins at all, it's a miracle new categories even get added at all at this point.>>153303886This reminds me I went on a binge reading/watching DOAWK fanfics on yt (the voice over were awful i'd legit just pause the vid and seek through pages as the stories are usually posted on reddit page by page and are horrendous to read there).They were a lot of good ones, and the effort to reuse art assets from the books was a nice touch.>>153312300I had been doing outlines for a bit, particularly for longer multichapter fics, but I stopped doing so, mostly cause i'm back to (long) oneshots.Probably should go back to doing so, not even to really plot out the scenes entirely but more so to preserve certain elements. I've found I forget somethings I had wanted to add during a scene.>>153315679The funniest thing about the purge is you'd have keyboard warriors raiding others stories they don't like saying they were going to get hit by the next oneand it simply never came even, what, at least 15 years down the roadNot even sure the schizos still bother with it, pretty much everyone doing smut went to Ao3 or at least crossposts
I once read a godzilla x little mermaid crossover fic which was okay. made me a bit curious about more godzilla crossovers with other aquatic settings.
>>153316163Link or name please?
>>153316181Its been a decade since I read it but im pretty sure its this since there's only three crossovers for these two IPs and the other two are fan spinoffs of this one. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5981435/1/The-Little-Mermaid-Godzilla-A-Friend-In-NeedGodzilla x Little Mermaid crossover is kind of intresting so its a shame there aren't more.
>>153308197Thanks for the info. Weirdly heartwarming for anons to help in my quest to find somewhere to masturbate
>>153316138>got a few reviews out of nowhere, got excited, spambotOh yeah, that’s just the best feeling in the world. I love it when half the reviews are spambots. Shit’s getting egregious, I uploaded a fic earlier and got six pm’s to my account asking if I wanted to see my work ‘visualized through an artistic medium’.
>>153313478The Raid, it's a RWBY fic where the 3 first year teams are guarding a train and the White Fang hit it hard, pretty good from what i remember but i haven't read it in over a decade so idk if i'd still like it. AlternativelyScrewed up Sick Day by Cun, might be i liked it because Misaka Mikoto fics where she's not a SI or something are rare as fuck.
>>153316225Thanks man
>>153315304It was started by Livejournal CW/Harry Potter fanfic writers to back up their smut and gay, so yeah kind of the horny women side of internet fandom

>>153297959>DISCORUNE>Instead of the Player, Kris gets the 24 Skills from Disco ElysiumActually pretty good. Very slow, too. I think it took like 25 chapters to get through Card Kingdom, but I don't find that to be a bad thing: the way it spends time on so many of the "skippable" stuff, like eating breakfast with Toriel or having to be in class, is more bearable with the skills but also gives a lot more insight into what a weird little freak Kris is. There's some alternate stuff, as well, and some Dark World worldbuilding (Dark Worldbuilding?). Being close to the fountain for prolonged periods of time makes you insane, Card Kingdom's other kings are more important, and the Jevil fight isn't actually a fight, but a performance by Jevil. My favourite moment from THAT part was an origami landing on Suzie's hand, then falling over and dying.Oh, and the whole thing is formatted in DE's style
>>153317078>uses the DE skills instead of creating a set of Kris-specific skillscowards

>>153317572sauce for pic rel?
Remember around a year ago when we had scholastic squad threads because Amelia got storytimed? And we started discussing a potential fanfic about them, as well as other book/comic characters in a boarding school as a crossover fanfiction, with the final conflict being that they needed to grow up and confront them becoming adults? I still cant get it out of my head, because I read Amelia in a very bad time in my life, and despite me being an adult man, I still saw myself in her. I really want to write such a fic, but I have neither the time nor the skill nor the knowledge to write it. Also, if I were to write it, Id write it extremely long, since, as another anon said, Id write it for myself.On that note, does anyone have any good ideas one could write into that fic?

>>153297959>>153313973Read this Psychonauts fanfic with Frazie called Later, Traitor Depths of Denouement. It's supposed to be a continuation of a story someone else wrote where she ran off to Whispering Rock instead of Raz called Later, Traitor which was pretty great so I'd recommend that too as it's kind of required reading for what I read (it added in some extra mental worlds for Dogen, Chloe, Clem, and others along with some extra OCs) but was never finished. So this gave me some closure after like 3 years of waiting for a new chapter for Later, Traitor.Basically, after his tank is beaten, Oleander hits Frazie with a subliminal message chemical bomb that reveals to her that she's related to Maligula. She doesn't take this well, and Lili and Dogen have to enter her mind to calm her down before out of control newfound hydrrokinesis kills everybody.Pretty breezy read with a lot of comics and pictures with good art, though the writing style takes a while to get used to since it'll be normal one moment and then suddenly start sounding like a green text when it's describing certain parts of Frazie's mental world.The ending is also gloriously stupid. Never read anything that entertainingly dumb and elaborate. Poor Frazie.
>>153314641Okay, yeah, definitely different fic. The writing style is taking some getting used to, but I'll see if it clicks for me. >>153319950Not exactly what I was looking for, but this sounds fun as hellThat's some pretty peak art right there too
>>153317577From what I gather, it took to a point where prominent writers used burner emails to coordinate the direction of the big arcs, and other writers could know what to do in case someone bails without telling anyone their plans, which I think did happen a few times and other anons had end story arcs on their own.>>153319806Maybe I'm exaggerating but I think the whole thing is in the same ballpark of length as multiple FO:E fics put together.
I have not told a soul until now but for the last year I've had ideas for a furry cartoon crossover slash fic, not even a quick smut piece either, a romantic story of some decent length rattling around in my head. I'm intimidated by the idea of writing it for several reasons>get partway in and burn out and have half-written furry crackship slash fan fiction sitting in my writing folder on my computer for years and years and then my family gets my computer after I die of cancer or something and they find it>the opposite happens and I get it done in such a quick and easy fashion that I take a liking to it and it becomes "the thing" I write from now on, until I eventually pass away and my family finds numerous pieces of fur-slash-crack-fic-shit on my computer, raising even more questionsThe biggest reason: I'm not gay myself (I think?!) and I don't read that sort of thing either. In fact I haven't even read much fan fiction of any kind for about fifteen years. I have no clue whether I should be venturing anywhere near that territory. Would it feel authentic at all, or phony? Earnest, or bogus? Can one even write something between two characters like this, which is so out of character for either of them, without compromising those characters so much that they might as well be different characters entirely? Or would it actually be okay, and I'm just making up problems for myself so I don't have to sit my cracker ass down and write this thing? The only thing that I know for a fact is that it's not something which anyone else, anywhere, would write. It's too specific and esoteric. I hate how smug that sounds but it is what it is. Whatever the case, this compulsion has been getting increasingly severe the last two or three months now and I fear that I may have to go through with it...
>>153320232Write what you want.>folder on my computer for years and years and then my family gets my computer after I die of cancer or something and they find itNot your problem, you're dead!
>>153309036When the author just starts rambling in the tags like some fucking quirk chungus, pisses me off like a motherfucker.
>>153320309beung purposefully obnoxious is fun
>>153301967I liked his Mickey Mouse comic, but that's probably it. I mean, turns them into Hollywood has beens, so he should fucking know how to write that, right? That Death of Superman video he did, that was probably the thing that made him known in fandom circles, was amusing at the time but it probably is works less well in tone now.Oh I guess he wrote an SCP that was the ghost of Tupac possessing one of his CDs and rapping prophecies to help solve crimes. That was amusing. So two things that were mildly entertaining.
>>153311167>A Clock in my head: Epilogue>I promise I'll get working on Mewni's Iron Wall at some point on like November or December>Stand and Deliver part 6 has been on hiatus for 7 years.I still have hope one day we will get that because Stand and Deliver is among my favorite Jojo content.That's why I made >>153299919 BTW>>153312167That's me too (unless you count /coc/)
>>153311167>Very well written>Author decides to rewrite itHaten. his will be done was already kino, you didn't need to rework it to the ground just because you read jungle juice and thought a side character looked just like the mc from it.
>>153309036>put a fetish/s in the tag of a story with an interesting premise >they promise it only happens once and it fits into the storyline >it happens multiple times and is vividly described If you want to write a fetish story, just do it. Don't promise a good story if you can't deliver.
>>153309036I literally will not read any fanfic that has Naruto as it's MC. I cannot fucking stand the people that use him as a self insert. Same goes for Ash Ketchum. And Goku to a lesser extent.But yeah, hate it when people do that. Even when i feel like reading self indulgent smutty SI trash, i won't read any that has naruto as it's stand in. Would even take a shitty Y/N over him.
>>153307182Locking is becoming increasingly common, especially in the dumpster fire fandoms, though.
I sketched out a quaint little AU Chainsaw Man story based on this comic someone made of Denji and Nayuta going all the way to America to go to Disneyworld because they didn't know there was one in Japan where they have to trek across the USA to rendezvous with one of Kishibe's contacts who can smuggle them back to Japan. Along the way, they pick up this kid about Nayuta's age who's on the run from terrorists who is actually the Pestilence/Disease Devil. There'd be several state/city-specific misadventures and Devil encounters while they try to stay ahead of their pursuers (including an FBI agent who was fused with the Giraffe Devil to save her life) and keep the kid from accidentally causing epidemics.Unfortunately, Part 2 of Chainsaw Man just kept getting worse and worse and it ultimately sapped my will to continue with it. What a shitty ending that manga had.
>>153320843I already like this idea more then the bullshit part 2ended up being.
>>153320232Write it. Plenty of people who aren't gay men write m/m.
>>153319038im shy anonit's mostly smut one shots btw
I'll write all my fanfic ideas one day...
>>153321259you won't if you don't start now. Once you start writing, you get ideas faster than you can complete them. So I'd advice starting as soon as you can
>>153319038This is what I get for writing in a small niche fandom.
>>153321492I feel you, brother What's yours?
>>153321925Yeah, it's tough. All we can do is keep at it.Flash Rogues What's yours?
>>153322018The most fulfilled writers aren't just the ones who are seen, they're the ones who write what they need to get off their chest and make more than just a daydream. So long as you're doing that, then the fans who see you are the loudest in the world.Is that the comic series The Rogues? It's not obvious online but it sounds like I'd be interested>What's yours?Under Night In-Birth /v/, I know, but I needed to write, so I tried to write it with newbies to the setting in mind
>>153322248Pretty good way to look at it. I admit that I get discouraged sometimes, though.It's the Rogues at DC. I think there's an indie Rogues series which is unrelated
>>153320843Would read sounds fun.
Do you think women hate male-made porn fiction as much as we hate theirs? It can't be, right? Ours actually has characters and stories and sex in it. Like if you look at the average "romance" novel targeted at females, it's much closer to male-made porn fiction, the only difference is that the story revolves around relationships more than the actual plot and the sex descriptions are corny as fuck (I've read a lot as as a pre-internet kid since the old lady librarian we had out our local library actually thought those were about romance).
>>153323681>women writing being gangbanged in high school and raped by a billionaire nazi werewolfA-okay!>man writing a high school girl getting raped and impregnated by chad thundercock then kept as a loving concubineTHAT'S SEXIST YOU DEGENERATE PEDOPHILE FREAK
>>153323681Women are incapable of differentiating between love and lust.

>>153323784lol no
>>153323784I would get over their Persephone and Hades obsession, I would be willing to consider that.
>>153323907If women would get over****
>>153323907I remember laughing so hard when I heard about the "pre-patriarchal" story of Persephone and Hades.Women are fucking retarded, I swear to god.
>>153323918You can say rape here.
>>153319038I need to get back into writing
This is before the traffic monitoring bugged out by the way.
>>153323784>>153323807>>153323907Depends on better than what. If we're talking about commercial men-aimed smut vs female-aimed smut, I would probably agree. Commercial men-aimed pornographic fiction is not only extinct, it's also incredibly common denominator, probably due to being almost extinct and trying to get as wide as an audience as possible. Female-oriented smut is much more fun and plentiful as long as you actually pick a good author and not just whatever ultra-slop is popular at the moment, because then you'll end up with the cliche "a dominant superhunk trillionaire decided that my 5/10 ass is perfect for him to forcibly make his sex-slave/wife".
>>153324116it's all slop, anon
>>153323681I don't think there's a significant difference between male-written smut and female-writtenwhat makes smut different is which POV you write it as, and if it leans more towards male dom, female dom, or very equally balanced.Both men and women can write any of the above and end up with similar results
>>153323681I think taste and hate are personal matters rather than matters of gender.
>>153323681Idk, I just read whatever as long as it's my fetish/what im into.
>>153320232>Would it feel authentic at all, or phony? Earnest, or bogus? Can one even write something between two characters like this, which is so out of character for either of them, without compromising those characters so much that they might as well be different characters entirely?Sounds like you have questions you want to know the answers to and the writing muse is knocking on your door. This is basically a curse, and the only way to dispel it is by writing.
>>153323933>Can't have their ideal like Beast from Beauty and the Beast>Resort to fantasySimple as
>>153324340No shit, because it doesn't fucking exist. You can't have an actual animal of a goddamn man treat you like a princess. You are the fuckmeat. That is all you'll ever be. Holy shit. This is like if we kept pretending like being nice to a girl will make her choose you in the end.
>>153313973Well I do actually write most of my AUs like this! I have one where Hilda, instead of going back to her mum, stays in troll country for 10 years, and I do have other where Hiro, instead of participating on his friends and passed brother's graduation, a terrible event happens before that that changes Hiro completely where, soon after, he vanishes for about 2 years before coming back with no memories of said years away.The Hilda one: /works/42061101The Big Hero one: /works/74454581I didn't finish them yet, mostly because I also am making an Avatar one (which is not a Canon Divergence but more like a Future thing (500 years after that Pavi avatar) and a She-ra one that goes similarly (the future thing), but it's more like "what happened after the defeat of Horde Prime.(Unrelated pic)
>>153324442Hilda is a fun series, the setting itself is decent but you'd think it'd have more crossovers as wel;
