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?

The Venerable House of Le-Fay

  • 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.

I'm not very proud of some of my older stories, but I think I'm willing to share the last one I worked on.

The Last Of Peach Creek

  • Fandom: Multiple, but primarily Ed Eddn Eddy and Pokémon

  • Synopsis: Multiple worlds in the Multi-Universe are being destroyed, but fortunately the characters are coming back to life on various other worlds, albeit with no memory of who they were before. Edd wakes up as a Helioptile in the Pokemon world, regains his memory, and learns from Dexter about what's happening in the Multi Universe. Can they figure out who is blowing worlds up and if it's possible to bring them back?

So...any thoughts? Could I have done something different? Problems with the writing? How could I go on from where I stopped?

Might as well give it a shot, considering how much work I put into my fanfic.

Earth-717 is my personal fanfiction universe based on the Marvel Universe. The link I just provided goes to my Fan Fiction.net account, where all of my stories are posted. So far I've written eight novellas (25,000 to 35,000 words) and five short stories based on various Marvel franchises (X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thor, Captain America and so on) that all exist within my continuity reboot of the Marvel Universe. Occasionally involves crossovers, only one so far (Black Widow/F.E.A.R.) but more are planned. I've been posting consistently since January 2014 but the lack of reception/feedback has been quite disheartening. Won't stop me from continuing, though.

My main page has a handy guide that explains certain facets of my universe for the uninitiated (like the fact that Tony Stark has been replaced with Tasha Stark, how mutants and SHIELD operate, etc.) so there shouldn't be any confusion. Would love to get more reception about my work because I really do love doing it.

So, wrote this after the Flash Finale. I haven't done a lot of introspective-centric fic, or present tense, but wanted to try something new, so....

(It's called Wild Card and centers around Eddie Thawne)

FBI Agent Phil Coulson/Kid!Avengers AU: Of Lovebugs and Promises

It's gen and mostly fluff, with some humor and tears mixed in.

And, because I have too much time on my hands (when I should be working), it has an in progress tropes page.

(If anyone has any tips on how to make it better, please let me know!)

I have posted this story before, but I'm just coming out of a 2 month slump to create more content for this one story and I figure it couldn't hurt to throw it back out there.

Name: A Shared Existence

Fandom: Neon Genesis Evangelion

Summary: In an ideal world, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami are engaged and live together in an apartment. The story follows them, as well as others, as they spend their days being comfortable in each other's presence, getting around to planning their wedding and trying to get all their work done without falling behind.

The story is a very soft AU, with some blatant wish fulfillment and a lazy "everybody's happy" justification for the AU. It's probably not the best story you're ever going to read, ship-wise or otherwise, but it's a real labour of love and I honestly try my hardest to make each chapter a good read. I plan to follow this story through to its conclusion, and it's already 12 chapters long if you're looking to waste some time.

If you're an Eva fan and you're not opposed to alternate universes or the Shinji/Rei pairing, please consider giving my story a read.

my friends are still upset with me because of "Wild Card" so I wrote something fluffy. literally.

Clowder of Chaos

basically the prompt for this (it's for the Flash) was "Ello, you keep writing sad things, write a happy thing, with kittens." so. Barry Allen walks into the cortex and is met by chaos. adorable, adorable chaos.

I guess I'll try this at least once:

Tiresias

Fandom: Ben 10

Description: Ben, Gwen, Rook and Kevin visit Greece where Hera turns Ben's world upside-down. Ben now has to deal with being the opposite sex and new challenges and challengers.

Notes: I actually have a rough game-plan for this fic and already have a rough draft on where things are going and what's going to happen, I even planned out the ending. Though I sometimes get stuck in the middle of the plot and am unsure if I stay true to Ben's original character.

I guess I might as well do this.....

My fanfic is named Wandering Souls

Fandom?: Teen Titans

Summary: An unusual young man is running from danger to solitude. The current problem? Jump City is in his way and it's very likely he might get caught up in the daily endeavors of the city...

Notes: This is my try on a OC fic. So far it seems to be recieved somewhat well albeit I have a small audience which isn't to surprising since this is my very first fanfic.

Essentially this is one of those OC fanfics were an OC joins the Titans. My OC, codename Nyx (I haven't gotten to the chapter yet were the name's significance becomes clear.), has a powerset that I see used in fanfiction pratically never. Necromancy

Before someone starts screaming Marty Sue before they even read the fanfic. I am not intending to godmod the hell out of him. His powers will have a good spin to it (he helps spirits, rather then controlling undead he request them to help them, he can purge diseases, etc.) but will of course have limits in place so he does not become overpowered.

On top of that one of the main flaws I have for him right now is mistrust for practically everyone he meets. Albeit he has a good reason this

I will admit I think I repeat myself to much in this fic. I fear that I haven't portrayed the Titans well sometimes. I am still insecure about my writing to put it simply even if so far has been received positively

After much searching, I was only able to find two "Harry O" fan fics on the entire Interwebs. Thus it became a case of "If you want to read that, you'll have to write it yourself." I've found I'm too new to post an external link here, so you can find this story on AO 3.

Title: Where True Hope Arrives

Summary: Orwell and Trench walk out the other side of a situation neither of them expected to survive. That's the sort of thing that can change everything ...

Right now I feel like a fandom of one. sad

Honestly, I'm not surprised. I'd never heard of this show before you mentioned it. I tried finding it on This Very Wiki, but it must be so obscure that it doesn't even have a Tropes Page; I had to look it up on Wikipedia and, well, I can't judge it unless I see it, but it sounds like your run-of-the-mill 70's cop/detective show. I can see how it hasn't gotten a whole lot of attention, for better or worse.

chapter two of the Metakitties fic It's going to be a full half-season AU now, dear lord.

(Flash fanfiction for the 2014 live action show, see my earlier post on this page)

also Only Pay Off is almost done! just the epilogue left!

(Big Hero 6 AU where Tadashi gets kidnapped but everyone still thinks he's dead, with lots of character background for the other characters and missing scenes and such.)

Hey, might as well while I'm here. It would apperciated if you checked it out! grin

Title: Chronicles of Fate: Evolution of a Species

Fandom: Pokémon

Summary: After a major and tragic event, humans become extinct. Pokémon, over the course of the years, become abled species who builds upon their own society. However, a war is fuming between many factions which will very well shape the fates of the Pokémon who live there. Three Pokémon, an odd Sneasel, an angry Quilava, and a laid back Flygon are forced into the conflict. From prisons to armies, from gangs to schools, from gods to mortals, they will have to not only aid in keeping the peace, but potentially aid in saving the dystopian world of Pokémon as we know it!

Notes: It is still an ongoing fanfiction. It is a planned epic. Currently, the chapters only cover the prelude and the first arc. That together is 11 chapters and two Special entries. This fanfiction will also coincide with another fanfiction of mine bearing the same tagline (Chronicles of Fate).

Title: Pokémon: Clefairy Tales

Fandom: Pokémon

Summary: The chronicles of Leaf and her Clefairy as they go on a Pokémon journey.

Notes: A planned (and currently in-progress) shojo epic retelling of the games, with the female protagonists of each generation in the lead roles. Seasons 1-3 will concentrate on Leaf's journey, and Season 1 will have three arcs, with the first arc going all the way to Pewter City, the second arc detailing Leaf's trek through Mt. Moon, and the third arc taking place in Cerulean City. Season 2 will be somewhat Darker and Edgier since, you know, the murder of Marowak and the establishment of Team Rocket as a real threat instead of just thieves trying to exploit the fossils of ancient Pokémon, the appearance of Lavender Town, and the Pokémon being stronger. As for Season 3? First, I'll have to plan out Season 2.

Fandom: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

Syopsis: A Riolu and his Buneary older sister join the Florges Guild to become explorers. But little do they know, danger has a few things in mind for them.

  • The Alchemist and the Anarchist

  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: The Vault Hunters become trapped on Amestris, and follow Ed on his adventures.
  • Pairing(s): It's not the focus of the story, but there is some Axton/Gaige shiptease. They are not in relationship, however. Otherwise canon parings.
  • Tags: Action Adventure, Comedy
  • Notes: I know it's a crazy crossover, but I think I make it work. Follows mostly the FMA storyline, but I plan on diverging more later on. I try to keep characters canon, but Axton is a bit calmer and more rational. If you enjoy the story, it would mean a TON to me if you gave it a recommendation on the rec pages for the series.

Hi guys, this is my first post on the forum, so I apologize if I post this in the wrong thread.

A group that I am part of is doing a fanfiction based on Gran Turismo 6 called "Hajime Racers". It essentially is about an old racing team by that name that fell apart in 1992 joining back together in 2014 following a series of events.

I was wondering if the fellow Tropers here could help me analyze the story (I am a contributing author).

Edit: Links aren't allowed for new guys. Ok! It's the second result on Google.

[up] I like your signature.

So, I am currently writing a P3/P4 plotswap which has the misfortune of being written by someone who rapidly bounces between thinking her work is good and her work it bad, and I also recently got out of a spell of writer's block.

I also have a crossover between Sailor Moon and The Little Prince, but that's really it in terms of longer fics. I have a bunch of oneshots up as well...
