Rules

Here is what I remember about this fic:

1. Luffy's mother is the ocean

2. The summary or a chapter has a moment where some people harass Luffy bc he has some pearls on him and they want to steal from him, this is a scene with ASL in it (if this is actually from another fic but not the fic I'm trying to find, feel free to still give me the fic)

3. Luffy's mother leads Dragon to Sabo when Sabo gets yk

4. The ocean saves the pirates in Marinefor Arc

5. Due to No. 4, Ace and possibly Whitebeard lives

6. Croco, Buggy and Smoker gets the shock of their lives once they realize Luffy's okay with water

7. I think there's a scene wherein Sanji tries to save Luffy from the ocean but then realizes Luffy is not opps with the ocean

My stupid brain decided that I needed to structure my arranged marriage fic around the wedding ceremony, but I've never been married or have written a wedding ceremony. I've got this one part of it technically written, but I hate it a lot 😭

I just left a placeholder to remind me that I need to edit it so I can move on to something I actually want to write. But I'm lowkey dreading having to go back and fix it 😭😭

Fandom blindness is a requirement lol. I tend to gravitate towards kpop or anime ff, but am looking to branch out!

Third person preferred.

Happy endings a must but I’m open to heavy themes (MCD not my fav)

The longer the word count, the better 😎

I feel like this is one of the best OC's I've made since I started out in 2016.

Never got it quite right until now.

That's what I feel like most OCS stories lack, family, it's always about the oc and the canon love interest. Or when there is a family they don't have a bond at all. Either oc family or even if the oc is related to the main tv show character or movie and so on.

I don't know I just appreciate when we get a real bond between other people than the love interest.

Anyway my Original character Thalia just had her first child a daughter and I'm just so dang proud of her and her partner, he's so caring for them it's so cute.

How do you guys handle your oc and their families?

Anyway I still appreciate people's original characters, if we didn't have those in fanfiction I'd probably wouldn't read as much as I did. And still do. Keep it up my people.

or just any fics that are so good you think everyone should read them at least once !!

I'm writing an oc-insert fic right now, so there's obviously going to be some canon-divergence. That's unavoidable. So far, there has been a few here and there, but those are very small and inconsequential.

If I'm going to keep writing, then I'll have to decide if I want to go big or not, else I can't continue. But I'm just so unsure...

The 'go-big-or-go-home' mentality is there in my head, but if I actually go 'big', then it's going to be a lot of work, and I'm afraid I won't be able to commit to that since I'm the type that write as I go along with vague ideas floating around.

How should I go about this? Is this a common problem everybody else has?

For my writing, it's probably either Psych or Silicon Valley (HBO). Both fandoms are pretty small, but EXTREMELY passionate. As for the rarest one I read - L&O: SVU. I've read more Barbarisi and Munch/Finn than I could ever publicly admit.

The tilte is Xoxo's February Ship Week The rules are there:) <3 https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Xoxoscoolbeansshipweek

I think that's it:/

I want a well told mystery fic.

I’ve been conceptualizing an idea for a fan series for a while, and I love the stuff I’m coming up with (who knows if I’ll get around to writing it).

But while I was watching a video about fan films, the YouTuber expressed a point of view that I hadn’t heard before. They considered most fanfiction to be disrespectful to the original creators. I looked at the YouTuber's previous video to see how. The way they described the disrespect is when fanfic writers make a change that breaks the canon of the established world (i.e. changing an existing character’s sexuality). Or writing with the intent to spite the creators. So I’m kinda glad I hadn’t started yet because some of the ideas I had broke the cannon.

So I need to restructure the story now. But while I’m doing that, would anyone else mind giving their two cents? Are there any other rules when it comes to writing an ethical fanfiction? And if so what are they?

It is a smut fanfiction chapter about a thicc mewtwo going back to the place of her creation and finding her 'brother', an experimental super human, who she takes back to her cave home in the mountains and fucks. I remember it from years ago but it was probably removed. I think it was on fanfiction.net but it could have been on any other site. Can anyone give me a name and/or link, please?

So I'm writing a fic and I'll be following at least a fair few points fairly closely. I'm having the very early part of the canonical story beat for beat.

However, comes the question.

If you're reading a story that follows canon closely, at least at points, would you rather read an original riff on the scene with unique dialogue or have the words ripped directly from the canon script? Especially if you are familiar with the source material.

I'm doing the former for my story. My scenes are conveying the same information and such, but it's completely unique dialogue.

I've just found I personally hate when people rip dialogue straight from canon and don't edit it in any shape, way, or form. There were so many fics in one of my fandoms that were just straight-up rips of the game's script with only internal dialogue added. There was no change in anything.

My story is canon divergence, but for the first arc of canon, I'm going to be sticking close to what's presented in the game. I just feel like the first arc of the game is too iconic to change. The plot points are playing out beat for beat but not word for word. Plus, I know you can only take so much from canon before it rolls over into straight-up plagiarism from the source material.

I just want some really good well written tr fanfiction, that perferably has a male character insert or like if something went differently in a different time line.

i searched on ao3 and i cant find any good well written ones though that could just be a me problem. so: RECS WANTED.

I'm looking for fics from any series(real actors or cartoon/anime, preferably not from a single movie or game), that isekais(supernaturally/magically transporting characters to a fantastical world) a character or cast of characters from a canonically "normal" world. It can be nsfw, angsty, dark, whatever really!

Cuz my goodness, some of it was WILD.

Like in the titel i'm searching an DA fic that plays in Origins and is about a non-warden female oc who gets at the start of the Story adoptet by loghain and i later on in an relationship with Alistair.

I swear I marked it but can't find it. It's probably apart of the Hero Vs Villains trope, thou. Things I remember:

Izuku is the villain leader. He has a stuttering issue and fears public speaking. He got his father to help with the villian opening speech and persona. Father was All for One, I believe. His entire persona was based on the discrimination due to quirks, so his team was mostly of 'weak' and mutant quirks. Shoji was there, and Mei, and Shinsou. Also a green smiley face was their call sign.

I don't know if it was deleted or not but it was an alternate universe Percy x Apollo fic where Apollo was the oldest of his siblings and his family severely underappreciated him. He was unpopular while his siblings were quite popular. Percy was also rly popular and he and Apollo were friends in an online game then it blossomed into more. I can't find it at all so pls help T^T I now know how to download fics my bad.

And there was this other Percy Jackson one that was just a bunch of one-shots with loads of different ships and there were gifs in every chapter or at least most of them. It had at least 50 chapters. I have been searching since 2023 pls help. Some were smutty as well. But I remember there was a one-shot were hades was in the mafia. Idk if that helps but you have my utmost gratitude.

Hoping this is the right flair and subreddit for this lol

Did y'all ever read a fanfic, years go by, and it just sorta sticks in your head for some reason? Even when it was just an average fanfic, not mind-blowing or anything? And that damn memory just comes back every now and then like it's haunting you?

For some reason a very specific baldi fanfic which I remember being kind of mediocre (but I honestly didn't give a crap, I was like 10) and all I really remember about it is that you bang him under a table in the principals office at some point but that's about it

If, like me, you have been enjoying the Alphabet Challenge.  Then you want more!  The excerpt games keep me writing and I hope it motivates with your writing as well.  You can post any type of story (use NSFW for spicier scenes).  

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

I am so happy you’re here to share… but please if you are going to leave excerpts, I ask that you leave at least one top-level comment and try to give at minimum an upvote to commenters.

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.

Here are the rules:

1.  The first word starts the game.  Use ANY letter from the word that is posted in the last comment 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. (If the word Love is in the comment line you could make the word Vile and post the next comment.)

2. Reply to any words that you like with an excerpt from any work you might want to share.  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.

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

I don't mean actually awkward fanfictions, I mean awkward stories INVOLVING fanfiction!

For me, there was a point in my life where I was into both Yugioh and ICarly (don't ask), so I looked up the two topics and found a 5Ds ship fic, I had only watched the original at this point, and I just didn't know that Carly wasn't of the I variant, that was actually the name of one of the cannon characters in 5Ds (to be fair though, I saw clips of her, and she is quite funny within 5Ds), and yes, it was Carly X Yusei which I haven't watched enough to understand, but I'm chill with it. But I didn't finish the fic both because disappointment, and also because I don't like romance stories.

Do you have any stories like this?

I just noticed that r/FanFiction has hit 400k members! That’s the size of an entire city in my small country! Wow!

Seems like the perfect excuse to celebrate and reminisce about how we all got into fanfiction in the first place.

I started writing when I was fifteen, armed with a questionable grasp of English and way too many ideas. Over the years, I cycled through multiple AO3 accounts… deleting some in moments of despair, making new ones whenever inspiration struck. At this point, I’m pretty sure I’ve read more fanfiction than actual books:D And I definitely wrote more fanfiction than all my academic essays combined:'D

Finding this subreddit was a game-changer. It made me realize I wasn’t just screaming into the void – there were so many of us out there, just as obsessed with storytelling as I was.

So, what about you? How did you get into fanfiction? And how did you find this subreddit?

Got my coffee and working on stories. It’s not making too much sense but I’m just glad I pushed at least something out after a year haitus. Not my best work, the way I ended the chapter is weird which I’ll come back to and also just work harder on the next chap. Anyways on a roll so gonna edit and hope to post another of my works.

Hello. I'm currently publishing my fic on Wattpad. It's's the only platform I'm using and I really like. I know you'll curse me now but I just started publishing yesterday lol ( basically 3 chapters ). But it's just I wanted to go though so at least I don't stay all day thinking why people aren't reading my fic you know. Is it because of the title ? The description?. I've tagged almost 24 tags related to the fandom of my fic. I know people would say that since it's ongoing people won't read it from the fear of the author abanding it but trust me I won't lol. I'm new to this and I'm excited for this fic but at the same time I feel like nobody wants to read it. So broken lol. If you have any suggestions on how to attract readers for my fic please do.
Last question: does it take longer to get readers ? Or just straight away ?. Thank you

I've started reading a fic that i really really loved (which is also the most popular fic in the fandom,written very well) but since i have the most important exam in 4-5 months i stopped reading halfway of it but cannot stop thinking about it do you guys think i should continue and finish it immediately so I may be get it out of my brain or continue reading it after my exam is over? ikr this is kinda weird and unimportant thing to ask but still...

I'm having trouble starting writing because one of the first characters you meet is an OC and I'm not sure how much detail I should put into describing their appearance, especially since I have a good visual of them but can't really put it into words.

I write mostly short fics. On wattpad I have a "oneshot book" on ao3 I post my books individually.

My main fandom is AOT. I am however also falling back into Genshin Impact and planning a fic for that.

I don't really reach a lot of readers no matter where I post, but I still have fun doing it. Thoughts?

im looking for funny greek mythology fanfics, not smut, nsfw or overly narrative, just comedic ones.

no percy jackson pls

As a fine consumer of character x reader I just wanted to let all the hardworking dedicated fanfic authors how much I appreciate and adore you guys.

I'll never get over reading a fanfic, imagine, or headcanns from you about my favorite characters from the fandoms I love. No matter if it has one kudos or like, or a thousands of them, I'll always take a delight in reading them.

You lot are lovely people writing about this one specific character and reader. Don't belittle yourself in posting in this tag. Your work is important and amazing to the whole fandom space. I and millions of other readers appreciate how you are the toughest soldiers God has put on this green earth. Take pride in yourself and all of your amazing fanfic so that I and others can keep on reading and enjoying them.

I just posted a new chapter, and there's a new comment saying it's a bit unrealistic or something. I wanted to point out the details they might have missed that could explain what they were talking about in their comment.

Am I being rude if I did?

I'm not familiar with the etiquette, but to be honest, I'm a bit bothered because I know that I researched a lot for my fic, even though my writing style was fairly short and simple.
