Hi! I remember reading this fic where Derek went away after the whole Mexico clusterfuck and while saying goodbye Scott Lydia Malia and Stiles all bite him. Then he went to see Jackson in London and Issac and Allison in France and they also bite him before he goes. I don't think there was any ship? And it was pretty sfw I think ? Also I believe he went back to Beacon Hills at the end? I could be wrong but please help !

Hello avid writers (and readers!!)

If, like me, you have been enjoying the Alphabet Challenge excerpt exchange that is hosted here on Reddit, then you want more!  These excerpt games keep me writing and I hope it motivates with your writing as well. 

II will be posting this challenge on Sunday Mornings / Pacific Time… because that day I need the most help to not think about Monday.

Here are the rules:

1.  The first word that someone posts in the comment section starts the game.  Use ANY letter from the last word posted in the comment section as the starting letter of your word.  Post your word in the top level comment.   Your word drives the next word to be posted… and so on.  

   Example:  LOVE  >>>>  VILE     

2. Reply to any words that you like with an excerpt from any work you might want to share.  It can be any genre or type (Original or Fanfic.). Spicy is fine, just please use NSFW. I don’t generally like word limits, so use your best judgment.  Enough to get the scene across but not so long that you lose your reader.  

3. Upvote your favorite words or excerpts.  We are all here to share and know how it feels to get a comment, so spread the love.  Leave a nice comment or at least a response if possible to those that post to your word.  

4. Want to see if your word has already been used?  Just click on the magnifying glass 🔍 in the search bar above with this post open and type in your word, then hit search (at the bottom).  Now scroll down.  If you see a green confused lizard and no comments then it has not been used.  Double check that someone did not just use it in an excerpt as every comment with that word will pop up.

If you have stumbled into my game and are looking for more, remember to check out the Activities and Events flair for other writing challenges and story swaps.

Ganbatte!!  Do your best and I look forward to everyone’s excerpts!

Laugh with me! I just got my first hate comments. 😂🤣😂🤣 One comment each on two short stories I wrote to go with my long fic.

I can't say I'm completely unbothered, but they were in no way constructive, so I'm choosing to laugh that people took the time to be hateful without specific reason. 😂😂😂

Hey, I have a couple of crossover one shots under my belt focusing on crossover pairings. How do I make a one shot crossover pairing without focusing too much on how these two got together?

I can't remember the name, but it's a recent fanfic on Ao3 where Jinx and Powder from the alternate timeline switch bodies and realities after an incident with Hextech.

Recently I've posted a few fics that I've been stuck on for ages. As someone who writes a lot of different projects at once, sometimes I start comparing them and start thinking about how bad, or dragged on some of them are. But since I've committed to writing for myself, I post them anyway, even when I can't bring myself to find any remaining love for it.

That's why, when I got comments on them, people telling me that they loved it, I was very confused. So I went back with their words in mind, and slowly I've started seeing what had sparked me to even write them. And looking at it from that new lense, one that hasn't been scrutinizing every sentence and rewritten all the awkward corners, I've started to love them again.

That's why I'd like to thank everyone who takes a few seconds to leave a sentence, or even just emojis to a fic, because to me, it has made me fall in love with some of my works that I couldn't find the energy to care for anymore. Thank you all so much. ❤️

Hiya, so I just wanted the community's opinion on a controversial topic: reuploading old fics.

So lets say you belong to a community which was really popular during the previous geeration of fanfiction readers, and there are a ton of fanfictions on these older sites(eg. ADULT fanfic, media miner, STARS, ksplash) etc. Is it a mistake to reupload these fics WHILE CLEARLY CREDITING AUTHOR onto newer fanfic websites such as AO3 or ff.net? because both of these sites currently have the largest userbase of fanfiction readers and reuploading it to a site with proper tagging and display systems makes itg so much easier to grow your favorite niche fanfic/pairing/slash, especially when it is on the brink of extinction since new readers DO NOT access/are aware of these old sites

Or is it still considered a bad thing? Even with clearly crediting the author at the start of the fic, is it still not a good thing to do? does it go against the TOS of any of these sites? please do let me know your thoughts, opinions, or just tell me if I have misinterpreted something/stepped on a landmine.

Have a wonderful day

I don't even know what to tag this. I thought about Celebration, but I have... mixed feelings?

Around four years ago, I tried my hand at a fancomic. I... didn't think it through. I didn't have my mechanics put down, and only a couple of the several character designs. I don't have much experience in drawing in the first place, especially not people. Overall, I barely got through a couple of updates, but I liked those updates.

I drifted out of the fandom, got into several others, and now I'm taking a break from my current WIP because I got re-absorbed in old fandoms. Including that of the comic.

And NOW inspiration hits me. Changing things around, finishing a design in mere days while I felt stuck for years on end, while I'm feeling stuck with my current project. It's just extremely rare for me to go back to old projects, and that comic is so out of my ballpark it's not even funny. An occasion where I overestimated my abilities.

I don't know... I think I'll just keep drawing until I get it out of my system. I just have this urge to draw again. Maybe refrain from posting though.

Um... thanks for letting me rant, I guess.

So I know about Alpha, Beta, and Omega, but I am in a desperate "need" to learn about their... Privates... I'm just curious! But if any of you would care to drop by and give me a lesson on ABO nether regions, I would be so happy.

Ok so I'm not really 100% sure what to do about this.

Someone flagged up to me that two of my fics are on the WordStream site. Far as I can gauge it's an AI audiobook site? But, crucially, I can barely wrangle Ao3. I've got no idea how to work this site. It looks like both fics are getting high numbers of views and possibly comments too? But I can't work out how to see those, or even how long those fics have been up on the site.

I don't necessarily entirely mind that they've been put there but I'm not wild about the fact that it looks like you only get a certain amount of words "free" before you need some level of a subscription. I don't feel comfortable with the idea something I wrote might be making some company money? And I don't like that I wasn't even asked.

Does anyone have any experience with navigating this site? Is it legit? Is it all a big scam? And if it is legit, is there a way to contact anyone associated with it?

Writing fanfics has been quite an enjoyable experience, and today I received my first negative comment. It wasn’t constructive criticism or anything like that—it was simply a guest saying, 'It takes real talent to be this terrible at writing. Unfortunately, talent is the last thing you have.'

I tried responding humorously, thanking them for their feedback with a bit of irony, but I must admit, it did sting a little. I was prepared for negative comments about people not liking the story or offering criticism, but it felt like they just wanted to offend me.

Should I have reacted differently? Honestly, I felt like deleting the comment. How do you deal with this kind of opinion?

Hello all, it's time for our third comment race! This one is also going to last a little longer as we will be running over the holiday and this is obviously going to be a busy time for many of us. This is also a time of year when things can be a little stressful. You might be in charge of Christmas dinner, still have some last minute presents to obtain, have to grit your teeth at everything That One Family Member says, etc... so for this event, let's make sure to carve out some "me time" and start tackling that fic backlog. (Fic "to be read" pile, whatever you'd like to call it.)

So whether that fic is in a private bookmark with a "reading list" tag, an old favourite where you keep meaning to read the latest chapter, or just a fic that you keep seeing on the front page of your fandom and has been lingering in the back of your head for a while... now's your chance! Settle down with a mug of something warm and comforting and open up that comment box ;)

Congrats to u/agrinsosardonic who won our drabble comment race and to u/Glittering-Golf8607 who won our 3k fics race.

And without further ado, here are the rules for this race...

Rules

• Comments for this race must be on fics (or new chapters of a multi-chapter fic) you've wanted to read before, but haven't gotten around to. Obviously, I have no way of policing this. If you tell me this fic was on your TBR pile, I believe you.
• Comments must consist of at least 10 words which says something specific about the fic. Comments such as "great work" or "I loved it" are welcome at other times, but are not sufficient for this event.
• Post a link to each fic you comment on below! You can put all your links in one (heh) comment here or post each new link separately.
• For this race, you have until December 28th, 11am GMT to comment. This thread will be locked around then. (If I'm late, that means some extra time!)

You can check out our Authors Directory to look up subreddit authors.

I was reading last night, and I made a bookmark. This morning I looked and saw my bookmark was just spelling errors and nonsense (I'm keeping it for the knowledge that if the author ever looks it will confuse them) And now I want some more random bookmarks notes you've either made or seen someone make on your fic.

Howdy!

How do you feel about changing the names for characters in a crossover if the worlds are kinda different?

Like for example:

Lets say you had a story where Harry Potter got transfered into lets say GoT. Then Harry Potter would work kinda fine.

However imo, if lets say Harry Potter got transfered into Naruto, i just find the name so out of place and it kinda bothers me.

How do y'all feel?

Cheers!

So I’ve been reading self insert stories for a while now but I’ve come to notice that most of them are with female readers in mind, rarely ever male readers. Could I still read female insert stories, I want to know how I could make it better for me to read?

Question about a scene I'm planning: character A and character B are good friends and have been sexual partners for a while. In the scene, A sidles up to B, slips a bottle of lube into his pocket, and tells him he can do whatever he wants to him if he manages to pin him down in combat.

Context: they're both vererans. B knows that A likes it rough, and is happy to provide that roughness. B also recently sustained an injury that makes fighting difficult for him and he's considering to quit, which A does not want, so he does this to motivate B into learning to fight with his disability.

So, does this fall into the category of consensual non-consent? A is gonna fight back before B fucks him, but nothing about this is a rape fantasy at all. I'm just not sure if it might register like that for the readers (the work already has a "dubious consent" tag due to substance abuse). Any opinions are appreciated!

#Find the current Daily Discussion* | Town Hall | Comment-a-thon

Welcome to our weekly thread, Brainstorming Bureau! This is an idea we've trialled previously and, based on feedback and observation, it feels like something the sub has been crying out for, and we're hoping as the weeks go by it'll turn into a lively, community-oriented way to cap off the weekend. We'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions on how to make the best of this idea, so feel free to reach out via modmail if you have any ideas. And without further ado...

What's this about?

Do you have an issue that's too specific to your own fic to make a post about, but too small to seek out a long-term beta or writing partner for? Well, you've come to the right place!

This is where you can drop those plot points you're stuck on ("How would this scenario play out realistically? What should happen next?"), workshop your worldbuilding and concepts ("What should I name this character? What power should I give them? Which fandom would work well as a crossover with this other fandom?"), or get a second opinion on an approach to character development ("Is this a good central conflict? What would have to happen to make a character realise this?"). It's your space to talk through any issue that can't be solved through more generalised writing advice.

How to play:

To participate, comment with any aspect of your fic you've been mulling over or hitting a wall with. Other users will then respond with suggestions and questions to help you get to where you need to be. No idea is too big or too small, provided your comment fits within the parameters below. Feel free to be as fandom blind or specific as you like!

Rules:

• Please state your fandom at the top of your comment, along with any common and pertinent content warnings
• NSFW text should be placed behind a spoiler tag or linked to, as per site content restrictions
• Summarise the issue you'd like feedback on in 500 words or less. More information may be given in follow-up comments if requested
• Links to polls or to any previous installments of the fic will be permitted for context
• Please specify in your comment what level of critical feedback you're open to
• When responding to someone's ideas, please keep your feedback constructive and keep their specified level of criticism in mind. If their premise is not to your taste, please choose another
• If you make a submission to this thread, much like the other weekly events, please comment on at least one other user's request with the best suggestions you have

Have fun! And remember, all suggestions are just that and are to be taken with a grain of salt; we're here to help and consider our works from angles we haven't before.

Need help, how to find a fanfic

Hi! I know this seem silly, but I keep thinking about an old fic I once read. I tried to find it again with no luck.

Its from bnha and was posted on ao3. Mc is either an oc or reader and she is abducted by Dabi early in the story. This is an alternative universe, with soulmates. She is the soulmate of Dabi and Hawk.

Her quirk is about making or manipulating jewels, she has amnesia which is talked about much later in the story…..she go to University and there is lots of prejudice against her because she has 2 soulmates/ marks?

Dabi send a video to Hawk about her and she is held hostage on a ship. He dye her hair white? Some shady past with the commission is exposed later.

Sorry for any typos, kinda late and can’t get this out of my mind.

If anyone has ever been present on 2012 Tumblr and shipped Oncecest…hello :) However, the fic I have in mind is not Oncecest. The fandom I’m in has many canon iterations. So, with that in mind, I’m planning on writing something that involves a ship between the same characters but from different continuities. Both of them look completely different from each other but share the same name, so I’m wondering how y’all handle writing that. So for, I’ve just been distinguishing them with descriptors, but I worry that it becomes too repetitive when reading.

Also, apologies if I’m not quite making sense. It is almost 6AM, and I did not get a wink of sleep!

So I’ve been looking for this specific jayvik fanfic. I’m pretty sure it’s a one shot but the premise is that younger. Jayce seems to get memories/impressions of older him. It’s not time travel. It’s like he gets the remnants of his future self like his leg develops issues and he doesn’t develop Hextech. Can someone please help me find this? It’s been genuinely driving me up a wall.

I have been writing for over four years now and even after 30+ fics, I still love the one pair I've ever written.

But recently, I've started disliking my writer's voice.

Any experiences?

So, one of my upcoming fics is a reimagining of the 2011 remake of Straw Dogs that's closer to the novel it's based on, The Siege of Trencher's Farm, but still includes elements from the original film adaptation, just done in a more modern way.

In regards to AO3, I'm split on what fandom section I should put it in: it's not really the same universe as either the original or the remake, so should I create a fandom section for the original novel or make a Straw Dogs - All Media Types section.

What do you do in this kind of situation: doing a reimagining that doesn't properly fit into any fandom section for past adaptations on AO3.

I'm hoping that I can finish my WIP. I just need three more chapters. I really, really want to finish it.

What are your goals? Let's try and get some motivation going!

Weird question, I know. But recently I've started a new project that I just CAN'T get enough of. I've written over 15k in less than a week, spending hours at the computer crafting a slowburn (well, in comparison to my other works lol) smut/romance that probably is only halfway done at this rate. The words are pouring out of me, and my thoughts are constantly about my story. It's a really nice feeling, and I swear I mean this post as a positive thing. Does anyone else get like this? I'll also mention that prior to this I'd been having a bit of a dry spell in terms of working on my other WIPs. I'm just so excited to write this whole story and share it with the world!

What are your best f/m fanfics? And pairings?

Long for me is over 20k btw. That’s how stingy I am with my words apparently. It seems there’s two types of fan fiction writers. Either you are so overly detailed that your simple story has a very bloated word count or you’re like me who writes so plainly that a complex story is crammed into a small word count?

Even after I go back and catch all the times when I could be more descriptive it still ends up shorter than some I’ve read even though I pay no attention to my word count at all. I’ve seen good stories that have one location and scenario drawn out to over 10k words while I have one that’s broken into 5 scenarios and it’s only 8k.

I don’t think either method is bad, I like how all of my work turns out, I’m just trying to understand. And also, do you have a preference, short or long?

Edit: I think people are getting really caught up on how I called long fics word count“bloated”. I’m not trying to call out anyone’s work directly, I go on right after to call short fics “plain” and “crammed” and this is my preferred way to write! Please don’t take this personally. I was only trying to highlight that each have their weaknesses and strengths.

Seriously, when writing smut it totally takes me out of the moment, and I can’t help but giggle like a teenager at it. Is this just me?

The thing is, there really isn’t any word that’s better. Sure there’s trousers, breeches, slacks, etc. but pants is just so succinct and perfect, timeless and versatile, if only I could stop giggling every time it comes up.

Are there any words that break the fourth wall like that for you?

F/M with smut anything else doesn't matter to me
