I can't see a thread like this on the first page so here I go.
I thought we could do with a thread for promoting your own fanfic. Probably the largest bane of fanfic writers is no one noticing it. It could because because you're an awful writer, to having a poor blurb and not knowing so, a bad title, a unusual or 'out there' topic that people don't search for etc.
So here I guess we can publicise our own fanfics. I also figure it would be a good idea if we stuck to the format - or something similar - used when recommending fanfics over on the wiki. Maybe we should also limit it to 1-3 per week/month or something so we don't have people spaming this topic with hundred of shitty fics?
- Fandom: Harry Potter
- Description: Athena Potter (Fem!Harry) enters Gringotts on her eleventh birthday and is given the chance to take an inheritance test leading to her being proclaimed the Lady Le-Fay. From here she delves into the murky waters of British Wizarding politics and does not like what she sees; creating the third side to the war.
- Notes: Slytherin!Fem!HP/Slytherin!GW Femslash, MOB!Dumbledore, and some non-flanderization MW and RW bashing. I am trying my best to avoid clichés with these tropes and even ran Athena through several Mary Sue tests just in case which she passed.
If your account is brand new, the forum will not let you post external links. Wait a few days and hang out in the other threads and the wiki.

May as well try this:
- Fandom: Most Gundams with Super Robot Wars Original Generation (Gundam Wingnote , Victory, AGEnote , Build Fighters and Turn aren't included. I may have missed some) Has some references to Full Metal Panic!
- Description: In the Universal Era, mankind has moved towards space to solve problems of overpopulation and the lack of natural resources. A black ops anti-terrorist organization is the last hope for peace, which had emerged from obscurity after the end of the Cold War, from the aftermath of a major war between several factions.
- Notes: Currently at the 18th chapter, my last update from 2013 before health and other personal issues forced me to stop writing the story. Am looking for someone to drop a review for the 18th chapter and check if my punctuation and whatnot is okay since I'm trying to get back at writing the story again.
Well, I guess a little promotion can't hurt...

Description: Kyoshi was born in the Southern Earth Kingdom, a normal Earthbending girl happy to live in seclusion. But as she grows older, and as the peace of Yangchen and Kuruk begins to break down, she will take her first steps down a path that shall make her a legend. Essentially, it's an origin story for Avatar Kyoshi
Notes: Still very much a work in progess. Does contain plenty of OCs. I do have a few readers, but not much in the way of constructive criticism.

Better add this:
Name: Conspiracy.
Fandom: Macross Frontier (mainly)
Description: Mikhail Blanc wanted to know if his disgraced older sister, Jessica, had committed suicide from a court-martial ruling that declared her guilt for killing her superior officer or if it was from something else. As he investigates the case again, the SMS contractor gets caught in a conspiracy that can undermine Frontier from within. AU of Macross Frontier as a technothriller story.
Notes: An attempt to write Macross Frontier in a technothriller manner. So far, one person has liked the story that he favorited it.
"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"
- Fandom: Frozen
- Description: A rationalist take on Frozen, which takes place five years after the end of the movie. It's basically transhumanist science fiction set within the Disney universe. To quote one recent review "A lot creepier than I expected. Like, at least 2 orders of magnitude creepier. [...] But very entertaining and well-written." I've tried my best to keep the canon personalities of the characters - it mostly centers around Elsa. Complete.
- Fandom: Terminator
- Description: Basically a Fix Fic that addresses every problem I have with the franchise, which takes place in an alternate timeline to any of the movies. The years is 1997, and Sarah Conner is computer scientist (having moved on from waiting tables). There are lots of homages and nods to the movies, but the characters are quite a bit different - by intent. Complete.
- Fandom: Superman
- Description: 1930's period piece with Lex Luthor as the villain protagonist. It's my attempt at a character study of Luthor that puts some real motivations behind his actions. No death rays, no battlesuits, just mostly real science and technology from eighty years ago. Updates once a week on Saturdays.
Prima's Pondering
- Synopsis: Royal Heights, the most prestigious and high tech school in the Universe. Here, the most talented children from multiple dimensions are educated to expand their abilities. When a select group of new students are invited, a series of violent and mysterious events turn their peaceful school year into a struggle to stay alive.
- Comments: I've been working on this fanfiction as a whole for over a year and I'm pretty proud of it. Synopsis wise, it doesn't seem like much. Content wise, it still doesn't seem like much. But I am personally very proud of it and think that it's one of my best creations in some time. It's actually a lot more cryptic and terrifying than I intended but that just adds to the surprise.

"i guess you could say my life's a mess. but i'm still looking pretty in this dress."
- Kingdom Hearts New Epic The First
- Synopsis: Set in the verse set up by Lord Cavendish (Kingdom Hearts The Third Epic), we find ourselves many years down the line, as the original trio of Sora Riku and Kairi now have children. However, a forgotten villain named Wolfang emerges from the Hell's Vortex, having been apparently used to create it by the original Big Bad, Lord Cavendish. Now, the children of the original heroes are the targets of the Sorcerous Overlord, and who knows what plan he weaves now...
- Comments: I have wanted to write in this verse for a long time, so every chapter has a lot of effort put into it. I can do nothing else but try my hardest with this verse, which was one of my first exposures to fanfic. Actual, good fanfic. Involves varied heroic roles, and an unconventional Big Bad who does not operate like others.

- Synopsis: A young man from Earth is mysteriously transported to Remnant, where he meets some very familiar faces. But when he is drawn into a planet-wide conspiracy, the lines between truth and lies, fact and fiction, are beginning to blur. And he may be the only one who can stop it.
- Notes: Yes, it's a Self-Insert Fic. But judging from the reviews, people like it. Anyway, currently at Chapter 25, having just finished chronicling Volume 1. Currently have plans for Volume 2.
- Also has a tropes page. If you want to help out, click here.

I guess I might as well promote my own stories.
- Puella Magi Yuuko Magica (link is on the trope page):
- Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and references to many other series.
- Description: Your standard, overused fix fic. Madoka's wish in episode 12 is different. Time travel is involved. Confusion follows. Oh, and , mages pop up. And a vampire, too.
- Notes and Warnings: It Iis an alternate universe. Thus, I changed Homura ' s name by a single letter to Hōmura. It has a few followers, but I had one person dislike it terribly. If it will bother you, I apologize, but you don'thave to read it.
Fandom: Courage The Cowardly Dog
Description: Upon finding out that he's going to be put down because of an illness, Courage embarks on a strange journey that just might save his life. His snarky computer gets dragged along for the ride as he is the only one who can help save him and thus takes control of the body of another dog. If they can ever stop bickering long enough, they may eventually become friends on their journey.
Notes and Warnings: My epic length, 144 chapter story. Think you can make it through the whole thing? I've been working on this for over four years now and I recently split it off into a second story because it really was getting too long to be only one story. My writing has improved considerably over the course of writing this and while I have gone back and revamped if not outright rewritten many earlier chapters, it is a large story and thus it takes a while to go through and do rewrites and hunt down lingering typos. If you can get through a few clunkier chapters that I haven't gotten around to revamping, the rest should be well worth the read. The one thing you should be mindful of though is that this story references a lot of different episodes from the actual show and so if you only causally remember Courage, you may be a bit lost on some things. I'm hoping to gain a few new readers as the switch over to the second story apparently lost me a lot of my older readers.

Hoo boy. This is going to be long...
Kingdom Hearts: The Antipode
Summary: Riku always longed to see the outside world. When his dream is finally realized, it's not without a cost. He opened the door and destroyed his home. Now, wielding the Keyblade, he must learn to look outside himself to save the worlds and his friends. AU
Fragmented Truths
Summary: He failed to close the Door, unleashing darkness upon the worlds. Now Riku must press on, faced with the threat of the Organization and a Replica of himself. The Heartless spread, more numerous than ever, forcing him to hasten his search for Sora. But is the Replica friend or foe, and can he conquer his own darkness? AU
The Year Between
Summary: Trapped in a digital realm, Riku is oblivious to the perils outside. Kairi struggles to take his place, but in a universe overrun with darkness, she's all but alone. Sora has left to find an old friend, Riku Replica is on the run, and Xion is busy hunting. In the time it takes them to pick up the pieces, the Organization's dark plan nears fruition. AU.
All That's Left
Summary: After a year's absence, Riku has finally returned, joined by friends both old and new. However, much has changed. Twilight Town is in ruins, the Organization's hold on the worlds has increased, and as the final clash with the Nobodies draws near, a bitter truth will come to light. AU.
These fics are all part of a series, which is my personal take on Riku obtaining the Keyblade. As the summaries suggest, these fics have gone off in their own direction as the repercussions of Sora and Riku's actions and roles snowballed over time. This is a very long series, but one I'm proud of, as I've been working on it since around 2006 - 2007.
There are also some Side Stories which are updated sporadically. Whenever inspiration strikes, really.
The whole series can also be found on AO3, and I am currently going over Fragmented Truths to fix some minor formatting issues from the uploading process.

Two for the price of one post, "A Slip Through the Shade" and "The Wax Crayon"
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9827418/1/A-Slip-Through-The-Shade
- Fandom: The Simpsons
- Pairing: Lisa/Ralph
- Plot: A routine errand to pick up a magazine leads to a rant from Lisa about the comics industry and what tethers her to her own reality.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10776015/1/The-Wax-Crayon
- Fandom: The Simpsons
- Pairing: Lisa/Ralph
- Plot: Lisa and Ralph check their weight, and Lisa admits she's gained a lot more than that over the years spent preparing herself to be Mrs. Wiggum
- Details: "I Love Lisa" is one of my favorite episodes and it breaks me in two that nothing more ever came of Lisa and Ralph as friends with mutual respect and care for one another despite how different both were. Lisa sometimes imagined being married to Ralph whenever she became paranoid over losing her smarts, and I sort of gravitated to the idea she always did want to be with him on some level, I then wondered why there were so little Lisa and Ralph stories on the internet, so rather than wait for any, I wrote two to satisfy myself.

Fandom: Evangelion
Summary: Shinji and Rei are 2 well-adjusted, healthy adults who love each other and share an apartment. Having met at school, they have since gotten engaged and have managed to find work at the same workplace. The story focuses on them and their friends as they live each day in each other's company and try to get their work done.
Notes: This story is very Slice of Life and very AU - the reason everything's so optimistic and shiny is because everything's in an AU where everything horrible about the series (Rei being an artificial human, Second Impact and the Evas, the Angels) does not exist. The story serves to chronicle the day-to-day life of Shinji and Rei as they work and live together, all the way until they get married and beyond. Other characters in this AU so far include Asuka, Misato, Kaji, Fuyutsuki, Gendo and 2 of the 3 bridge bunnies. Monthly release schedule, with retroactive edits from time to time - listed in the chapters themselves and the most recent chapter's AN.
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.
- Crossover: Mainly Ranma One Half (it's a Ryouga Quest), but has also crossed into Familiar Of Zero and Digimon. So far.
- In this quest, you are Ryouga Hibiki. And you are lost. Expect crossovers, chaos, bad decisions, social awkwardness, and martial arts mayhem.
- Hosted on Sufficient Velocity. Players vote for Ryouga's next action, I write it. Standard Sufficient Velocity rules apply, and I reserve the right to reject write-ins, although I mostly only apply that when players vote to perform an action that is made using out-of-character knowledge, is impossible, or requires knowledge of a series I do not possess.

Summary: A human chosen by Arceus must save a land inhabited solely by Pokémon from Zygarde and his minions, who want to rot the world to nothing, before it's too late and the world becomes nothing but a memory.
Note: Exactly as bad as it sounds.
I want everyone to be honest. This has to be the worst thing I ever written and even my Mary Sue parody was better than this stupid Mystery Dungeon story.

I guess the horror the Shadowed Earth caused to you people made you stop posting on this....
Eh, I may as well try.

In the middle of the Book of Darkness case, the Magical Girls of Fuyuki City, Illyasviel von Einzbern and her neighbor, find themselves suddenly part of the 5th Holy Grail War. Which ends badly when Kotomine gets Linker Core drained, leading to him being vulnerable to a psychic vampire, which converts him and he sets of to fuse with the Grail to unleash Ultimate Evil on the World.

Hi all, long time lurker. LOOOONG time. First time posting, as I have been trying my hand at fanfic writing to scratch an itch.
It's on Fan Fiction, under "Mass Effect: Reflections"
I'll get a link up once I'm allowed to post one
Fandom: Mass Effect
Description: The war is over - the vast, horrifying monstrosities that were the Reapers are dead; reduced to floating scraps of junk. The war has claimed much, but the races are rebuilding. It is almost a year since that fateful day that the Crucible fired, an event which will go down in history as the moment of galactic salvation. Aboard a hospital vessel orbiting Earth, a familiar face stirs to life again. A lot has changed... perhaps too much.
Notes: Another ending fic... but I didn't make too many alterations beyond the Geth and EDI surviving. This is a pairing fic, but it isn't schmaltzy. It covers a bit of intrigue, some realities of people moving on after loss. Also it is intended to start fleshing out a post ME 3 Universe to play with, with politics and so forth. A "prequel", Awakening, is currently underway, but I'm trying hard to make sure the timelines match up! First attempt at a "published" fic, so feedback is always welcome.
