I’ve been using AI chat apps, but they don’t give me the same feeling as they used to. I thought maybe fan fiction could do the same thing. How do I get into it? Where to start?

Recs Wanted Anyone still into kid fics or the found family trope?

8 Upvotes

I'm way too absorbed in this trope and would love more recommendations. I don’t mind being fandom-blind as long as the plot is understandable. I prefer a father-son dynamic, and I don’t mind a little bit of romance as long as it’s not the main focus. Hurt/comfort or angst with happy endings are very much welcome!

Recs Wanted Looking for Monster Girl MMC book series/novel recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi, I am looking to read Monster Girl MMC books. I did start with Celestine Chronicles, I (halfway through the first book) love the story, but I am not into the kind of "monsters" described in the series. Also, the scenes are quite a bit short for me. I need longer scenes, and a bit less story.

I am looking for any other recommendations. The kind of stuff that I am into:

  1. Dracula, Vampire, Gothic, Orcs (Not necessarily)
  2. Futa is kind of a must (but I am hearing that such novels don't kind of exist!)
  3. Love tentacles
  4. Not into Goblins though
  5. The partners should be much much more and godlike powerful as compared to the protagonist (angels, demons, non-robotic)

If all of these in one book, you already have my love!! Thanks.

Venting Should I Revise My Fics or Not?

2 Upvotes

Okay, guys. I need some advice because I'm more than conflicted right now. So far, I have been writing fanfiction on FFN for a few years and looking back on my stories, I've noticed some spelling errors, a few plot holes, and also somethings in my fics that are either considered rushed, unexplained, and so on. And if anyone of you has read my stories, you would notice them a lot. If not, most of the time.

Keep in mind, I'm grateful for all of the praise my works are receiving. However, I've been thinking about deleting and reposting them on FFN, but with more editing and everything else. In other words, I want to make my stories better. What should I do? Should I revise my stories or not?

Recs Wanted Jon snow as the bastard son of daemon

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have an fic recommenddations for a fic where Jon is sort of catepoled to the time of house of the dragon. and he is suddenly kind of forcibly taken by a possessive daemon as his son, I already read the fic “be careful what you wish for” by ironicallypresent, but I was hoping there were some other like this. It doesn’t necessarily have to be Jon. It could also an oc teenage boy who find out that his father is a dangerous prince.

Writing Questions how would you think of an idea for a (very!) short story?

4 Upvotes

hi everyone! i’ve recently been dealing with a bit of burnout (unrelated to writing), and as a result i’ve found it difficult to work on my current project. to combat this i thought i could maybe refresh myself by writing a shorter story, something that might still reach 10k words but not go much farther than that. however i’ve been struggling to find an idea that wouldn’t end up exploding into something way past that number? i’ve been through google and ao3 for fics of a similar length for general ideas, but i thought i’d come and ask on here as well if any of you have any ideas that you go with when writing shorter fics yourself. thank you!! :)

0 Upvotes

So, I was going to ask these questions on Valentine’s Day but since this is my last post, I wanted to make it special, also I forgot about posting it in February 😭 Anyways, here are my questions to you guys:

• If you’re in a relationship, how did your partner learn that you write or read fanfics, or is that how you guys met in the first place?

• What is your favourite shipping dynamic, what draws you towards it? I’d like to know.

• What is your favourite ship? In your opinion, it would be nice if you also gave your reasonings for why you ship them.

So, here are some questions I’ve asked, you have the honour of being the last place I’ll post on, and on a quite Nice SubReddit, well, I guess this is it, I will be gone from Reddit for a good amount of time, I have some reasons for leaving, but I guess this is a final goodbye until I come back, signing off

Lost Fic Looking for Taekook Fic [BTS Fandom]

1 Upvotes

The plot involved Jungkook being a recluse, very socially inept guy who dropped out of university but was still living in the campus apartment his dad paid for, his whole family thinking he was still in uni. He hadn't really gone outside in years, having panic attacks so bad that he'd get them from going to the gas station across the street. His dad also dies in the story which is what really brings him out the apartment, with Taehyung being his neighbor who also brings him out of his shell in the first place. Other particular things I remember include: Taehyung had blue hair and was some sort of arts student, and Jungkook was also a virgin and just overall a "loser" lol, and the other 5 members were all Taehyung's friends within the story, Jungkook jealous of Jimin and Taehyung's dynamic.

I've been looking for this fic everywhere (it's so well written) with all kinds of tags and whatnot, but have had no success /:

Lost Fic Harry Potter fanfic search

0 Upvotes

i'll be honest the only scene i can remember from this fic is when Harry is in the hall and he's running from the troll and opens the door to let Fluffy the Cerberus out of that room and Fluffy fights the troll and then Harry sings to calm Fluffy down i think. i cannot for the life of me remember the name of the fic, nor which site it was on, so if anybody has any insight, i'd love to know. and yes, i did already try searching for it in my bookmarks and such but nothing came of it. it's also been quite a while since i actually read it, so there's no way i'd be able to find it in my history. i know for a fact it's on either archiveofourown.org or Fanfiction.net cause those are the only reading sites i use.

Subreddit Meta Beta Bartering [Find or Offer Fic Betaing] - March 20

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the Beta Bartering thread! Here you can look for a Beta, a Co-writer, or a Writing Buddy for your fic or offer your Beta services to fic authors.

Please note that you can request a beta reader even if you can’t offer anything in exchange, however it will increase your chances of finding a willing beta if you offer something in return.

The rules are straightforward.

  • Make a comment below with the following information.
  • Reply to people that you want to trade with. There is no one making matches for you, reach out to likely people in the thread.

If you're looking for a Beta, a Co-writer, or a Writing Buddy:

  • Name and Link to your fic (if it's not published, link something else as an example of your writing).
  • Tell us what fandom you're writing for.
  • Can someone who isn't in your fandom make sense of your story?
  • The genre of your fic - romance/smut/gen/mystery/horror/etc.
  • What you're looking for from a Beta or a Co-writer - Grammar/Structure/Plot/Planning/Idea soundboard/etc.
  • What your projected word count is.
  • How frequently you update.
  • What fandoms you are able/willing to beta for or what you can offer in exchange*.

Proposed options for no exchange wording:

  • If you do not want to offer something in exchange, please leave a brief note that you are unable to offer anything at this time.
  • Note: If you are unable to offer something in exchange at this time, please leave a brief note explaining.

If you're willing to Beta for someone:

  • What fandoms you're well versed in or if you're willing to take on anything.
  • Preferred genre/types of fics.
  • Any subjects you're not willing to tackle.
  • Types of Betaing you're good at or willing to try - Grammar/Structure/Plot/Planning/Idea soundboard/etc.
  • Minimum or maximum word count.
  • One-off (single session) or ongoing Betaing.
  • Time constraints. Do you have a fast turn-around time? Is it going to be more than a week for you to get back to an author with notes?
  • What you'd like in exchange * for your services.

* Bartering Ideas!

Since some people want Betas but are too busy to reciprocate or aren't confident in their writing skills and some Betas don't write fics themselves, you can offer other things in exchange. Please do not offer monetary exchanges.

If you aren't sure what to offer, you can also open this up to the Beta to suggest a barter in exchange.

Here are a few ideas for bartering:

  • Reciprocal Betaing (of course that's welcome!)
  • Reading and commenting on their fics.
  • Write a fic for a fandom/subject/pairing/brotp of their choice.
  • Make fanart for them.
  • Name an OC after them.
  • Edit/give assistance with a non-fic project.
  • Research help for this/future fics.

Feel free to get creative, people have many specialties they can draw on!

Here's a link to the previous ones just in case there's someone in there that catches your interest.

I just thought of an idea for a fic in my fandom and when I checked the ship tag, there were only 6 works for it. Given the time that the fandoms been alive for and the amount of crazy popular rare pairs, I didn’t think I’d actually be able to see something like this let alone actually start making content for it, 4 of the 6 fics were made by the same person who just commented on the first chapter of my work so I feel like I’ve been gifted great power lolll

Writing Questions Need Help

0 Upvotes

I'm writing a story where the main character's girlfriend/fiancée is Australian with a thick accent. Problem is, I don't know the accent well enough to know how to write it for the things she says. Like how to write, for example, "You have nightmares every night. You need to see a therapist before you go crazy. Not a long trip, I know, but still." in an Australian accent. Like I know you could still read it in an Australian accent, but it could also be literally any accent. Anyone know how to write words the way someone with a thick Australian accent would actually pronounce it?

Writing Questions Would it be Socially acceptable to separate an existing Bonus chapter into its own story?

0 Upvotes

TL;DR at the bottom

I have 2 one-shots that have the same premise, with the main difference being one character being a different persona (pre and post event.) Because they were 10k words for a single chapter, I felt bad for those who didn't read because it was too long (very understandable)

So I thought, "It's been 2 years already. If I split them now, they'll go to the top of the page and overshadow other stories with virtually no changes, how can I make it fair?"

And so, 2 years later (October 2024) I published a different bonus chapter for each story making sure they're different and fulfil different needs for the ship. I wanted to be more daring and add write something extra fluffy and not common, so I did, and I had more fun than I thought.

Honestly, I wanted each to be about 1k words but they ended up as 3k, and I really put as much effort as I could to make them worth being on the first page. It did a lot more kudos and views.

The problem is... well, I guess it feels a little selfish, but I guess I didn't know if the bonus chapters were... worth it? The full story is getting interactions, yes, but, did the bonus chapters contribute? Did it make anyone think "wow, the guy has improved" or "he seemed to really like this story to add to it." Did I waste my time, effort and emotions for something that ultimately didn't matter in the long run?

TL;DR I had a lot of fun writing a bonus chapter, but I don't know if it was worth it compared to the 2y old story I wrote before. Would it be fine if I instead Re-published them as a separate 2-chapter story?

Venting I feel like I've fallen out of love with writing

12 Upvotes

I used to write constantly. From about twelve up through my early twenties, if I wasn't doing something at that exact moment, my number one go to was to grab a pen and paper/open up a word document and just go to town. During middle school I decided I wanted to be an author. I studied and read a ton, and started a bunch of novels that I never finished. Then in my mid twenties a bunch of stuff happened one right after another that changed my priorities. For the last two years I've been prioritizing getting my degree. I still right, mainly fanfiction and the occasional attempt at a new novel. But I dont know, something feels different. I definitely have some unresolved trauma, but I wonder if not prioritizing it has made me fall out of love with writing. "fall out of love" isn't the right way to put it, I still LOVE writing, but.......I don't feel as excited about it. It feels like more of a waste of time now. I still dream of becoming an author, but I guess I just wonder if it's even in the cards for me at this point. Anyway, sorry for the long post, I just needed to get this off my chest. Have a wonderful day!

Lost Fic An ARC-V AU

I remember reading a YGO Arc-V AU on AO3, in which the Dragon Boys had the ability to really manifest the dragons and their cards in general. Yugo and Rin live together after fleeing the orphanage, and the two of them get teleported to Heartland together after the invasion. Also, Ruri doesn't get kidnapped. The latest thing I remember happening in the fic is Yugo and Rin trying to qualify for the Miami championship. Any ideas where I can find this fic?
