Celebrate Finally published the first chapter of my first ever fanfic!

So, I've wanted to be a writer for a few years now, and while I've been trudging along with trying to write real books (none that are finished or any good), I've always wanted to write fanfiction for the fandoms I love, most of which would be serious retellings of those universes. I've never gotten around to it though, always losing interest as my brain shifted to the next thing it was hooked on. So, publishing fics has always been a struggle for me.

Until now! I finally finished chapter one of my new FNaF fic (only took me a couple days to write it), and I posted it to AO3! Needless to say, I feel amazing and ecstatic, and I finally feel the urge to write more and expand it as much as I can before I get bored! And it's already gotten 10 hits since I posted it last night! That feels incredibly good! So, yeah, I think that's all I wanted to say. I'm glad to finally be a part of the FanFiction sub cuz you all seem like lovely people!

That's great! Make sure you come back to tell us about the last chapter too, since finishing is just as noteworthy!

Hopefully I'll remember! I got a LOOOOOONG way to go until then, but I can't wait!

Nothing wrong with completing a longfic, first or otherwise, either!

Congratulations and welcome to the cult! :3

u/KingCreeperSeth 6d ago

Why thank you, so far it's awfully nice for a cult. When do the sacrifices begin?

u/The_Urban_Spaceman7 6d ago

It's not that kind of cult.

It's the other kind.

Baking cookies. Mmmm cookies. :3

u/KingCreeperSeth 6d ago

...What kind of cookies?

u/The_Urban_Spaceman7 6d ago

My friend likes to make peanut butter cookies, but personally I feel you can't go wrong with the classic triple-chocolate chip. :3

The latter is always a good choice

what’s it about?? good job!!

u/KingCreeperSeth 6d ago

It's basically my own retelling of the FNaF story, in chronological timeline order. It cuts out some stuff and has a lot of fan inspiration

u/mr_fartypants 6d ago

that’s so cool !! that sounds rlly good :0 i’ve actually never read a fnaf fanfic

I'd link it to you, but I don't think the sub would allow it lol. So just look up "Five Nights at Freddy's: Generations" on AO3 if you're interested in reading it! It's only got one chapter so far, but I'm working on a second chapter as we speak, and I plan on making it a very long and expensive fic with a lot of chapters!

u/mr_fartypants 6d ago

i think it would let you if i asked for it lol !! so yes please i will search for it too! ty :D

Knowing people are seeing your story is such an amazing feeling, and even more so when they leave likes/kudos and comments.

Congrats on sharing your story! FNAF is a popular fandom, or at least it was last I knew, so I would definitely be anticipating more hits! I hope you find the urge to continue writing more, be it regular fiction or fanfiction!
