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.

A Little More Time

As we approach the one year anniversary of the Bob's Burgers episode "Bob Actually", and since the current season's valentines episode has already aired, I thought I'd write up a story where Louise and Regular Size Rudy finally sat down and talked about their kiss (maybe this'll actually happen at some point this season, I hope it does, i need this addressed)

Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità Summary: One of them seems all tough and harsh on the outside, but is actually soft. The other seems all cold and calculating on the outside, but is actually warm. How is Italy to choose between Germany and Japan, his two closest friends? Can he even? Gerita vs. Itapan. Shounen-ai.

Technically, I wrote the climax of this story which hasn't been posted yet, but oh well.

http://archiveofourown.org/works/13515504/chapters/30999972

It's a Marvel Universe AU where an Age Lifted Rachel Summers who is investigating the death of Franklin Richards and uncovering the secrets of the people who killed him. I'm not going to give much away, mostly because I want my co-writer to let the mystery unfold or if he'll make any changes to the original version.

Edit: So my partner has removed the story at my request because it needs reworking. Now, we've decided on making Marvel Time, a collection of stories of the young, next gen heroes of New York. Here it it http://archiveofourown.org/series/938037

It only has one work so far, but we're getting there.

I don't see how this won't get buried, but I'll give it a try.

Reprise - a Frozen/Tangled/The Little Mermaid crossover epic

Three princesses. Three curses. One adventure.

Rapunzel's magic hair spontaneously grows back, Ariel regains her mermaid tail, and winter returns to Arendelle. One year after their most meaningful trials and triumphs, something has taken away what they worked so hard to gain. As they leave the safety of their own kingdoms, fate is about to drive these strangers together across oceans, over mountains, into the depths of the sea, and even through the river of time itself. But will their differences stop them before the curse can?

This serial is centered on the fan theory that Frozen, Tangled, and The Little Mermaid all take place in the same universe. I wrote it after watching Frozen with my kids one too many times. I tried to avoid the unlikable "disney princess" cliches and make it as feminist as possible. There's no real romance within, but plenty of adventure and relationships between friends. Good for those who want something other than pairings in their fan fiction.

Something I should've done a long time ago, but here's my fic called Angelic Resonance.

This is something that should've been done a long time ago, but I need someone to post this up for my fic Angelic Resonance on TV Tropes.

—-

Mana...a world where humanity can manipulate information and materialize everything they wish.

Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi is the Crown Princess of Mana's mightiest nation thanks to its role as keeper of the Dawn Pillar. Despite losing the Iaria tournament, her birthday was just tomorrow when she would be Empress and...

Hold on...what's the hell is Cypha doing here? Did she just kill everyone in the stadium? Now Signum's in the picture? And an unknown OC in the mix? What's going on here?

Angelic Resonance is a crossover story between the Lyrical Nanoha franchise and Cross Ange, where the former princess's misfortune does not cast her off to Arzenal. Instead, she and her trusted maid are taken in by Signum as part of a bargain from their Mysterious Protector. Under the protection of the Time-Space Administration Bureau, Angelise and Momoka are stuck on Midchilda, exploring a different lifestyle before they can return home.

So far, the list of works will be included regarding the Nanoha franchise:

  • Strikers
  • Sound Stage X
  • Vivid Strike
  • Force

Since a third work is stated to be under consideration, expect more information as the fic goes on.

Tropes befriended by Ange:

—-

  • Adaptational Expansion: The fic gives more detail on Mana's geography.
  • Adaptational Heroism: The Huckebein in this fic are tamed in this fic, for they only go after those who deserved it to contain their bloodlust. Only Cypha and Veyron, at times, are the worst offenders who break this rule.
  • Asshole Victim: Subverted with Akiho. She never knew about Angelise's status as a Norma and thus, never did anything cruel to her before being mercilessly butchered by Cypha.
  • Character Derailment: As part of being sent to Midchilda instead of Arzenal, Angelise never receives the torture and Training from Hell in the original series. Instead, she receives a more normal life by the TSAB Aces. As a result, she never becomes "Ange" and accepts her status as a Norma without losing her idealism or original identity.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Akiho gets cut through the waist. The top half of her corpse is then sent flying and lands next to Angelise.
  • Mysterious Protector: The Original Character, Cecilia Ikka, who was assigned to protect Angelise and Momoka for some reason.
  • Mythology Gag:
    • Akiho tells the princess to live on as she's dying, the same words Sophia gave as her own dying words.
    • The two who play the Starter Villain of the series are the same characters from Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever, where the Nanoha franchise originally came from.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: If what Cecilia says is true, then her actions have resulted in widespread consequences.
    • Bringing the TSAB to Mana also means trapping the Huckebin into the same dimension, which allows them to freely go on a killing spree.
    • Bringing the Huckebein also exposes Mana to the presence of the TSAB, especially Julio, who is not only Emperor but also introduced to Embryo's mysterious new allies.
    • Her goal to protect Angelise has caused Character Derailment on Angelise's part; her stubbornness and defiance were what allowed her to resist Embryo and unlock the powers of the Villkiss.
      • Subverted with the Villkiss as it transports to Midchilda anyway, crushing Fate's car in return.
  • Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Eclipse infectees in this fic are described to be superhuman zombie vampires.
  • Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: The leaders of Mana's biggest nations, naturally. They're more concerned about their own problems despite the crisis they suffer from the Huckbein.
  • Ship Tease: Angelise x Nanoha
  • Skewered Priorities: Fate's more concerned about her destroyed car rather than the alien nature of the Villkiss.
  • Starter Villain: Slicer and Za Fan of the Clover Organization. See Mythology Gag.
  • Tyrant Takes the Helm: Julio uses the recent crisis to take power as Emperor.

Title: Shanghai Dragons

Fandom: Sakura Wars

Links: It is on Fanfiction.net and AO3. There's few chapters on them and the Fanfiction.net version one is a bit unrefined than AO 3 version. However, they are both still active.

Summary: It's 1933 and the demon conflict in China intensifies. Worried that the conflict will spread out into the world and especially towards their interests operating in China, America and Japan decided to send their best divisions into Shanghai to cooperate with the Chinese divisions there in hopes it will crush the demons. However, even with the superior numbers and support, it becomes clear this conflict is not all that simple.

This fanfic, compared to the standard Sakura Wars, is very on the opposite spectrum of Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism and more Darker and Edgier. While setting in Sakura Wars universe, is quite similar to Real Life 1930s East Asia, and as a result it will be very complicated and far more grounded than every other Sakura Wars media.

Oh wow this could be my big break! Probably not, but here is the fanfiction I'm working on and it's the best I've written so far: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12916699/1/Strange-Minds

Fandom: Team Fortress 2

Genres: Suspense/Horror

Summary: Waking up in an unfamiliar place smack dab in the middle of nowhere for unknown reasons is enough on its own to cause tension for the mercenaries. Add in a door that leads to who-knows-where, an identical building a mile away, plus rumors of a monster running around, and you've got yourself an opportunity for the worst sides of one's self to surface.

Notes: Well, the reviews on here so far are positive but I'd like to see peoples' opinions on it outside of FF.

Joanna Joestar: Her Trial By Fire

Fandom: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Genre: Action, War

Rating: M

Summary: Companion Piece to Stand Proud and Make Yourself a Legend (the other fic I have on FFN). Joanna Joestar, orphaned and broken by her experience during Second Impact, is accepted to a US special operations outfit that hunts down Stand Users. She is soon dragged off to a bizarre adventure of her own and finds a second family among the men she serves with.

So this is my attempt at making a military-themed Jo Jo Part. So far only the prologue is up which is exposition and intro, but there will be action in the actual first chapter. As for the main character, she's from an AU where Joseph had a son besides Josuke and Holly, which eventually leads to her. Unfortunately, I can't promise a steady update schedule because I'm dealing with some things in my personal life at the moment.

I wrote a fan novel based on James Cameron's film Avatar back in 2010. The movie intrigued me, and about a month or so after it came out, I had an idea for a direction I thought the story could go. I started writing the novel in February and was done with it by early December.

Payback

  • Fandom: Avatar

  • Description: What if Jake's prayer to Eywa is answered in a way he can't imagine? My take on the Backstory of the film and a (possible) direction the story could go. It's based on the Special Extended Cut of the film, not on the theatrical release.

  • Notes: It's long (127K words) and has lots and lots of Exposition and Expospeak, no real violence (except for a couple scenes) and no nookie to be seen anywhere (although that is hinted at toward the end of one scene) and characters and technology not seen in the original film. It brings in lots of backstory about Grace, Jake Sully's brother, what's happening on Earth, etc.

  • Secret Empire: The Ultimate Ending
  • Fandom: Marvel comics
  • Notes: It is no secret that people did not like the way Secret Empire ended, so I wrote a Fix Fic. In The Ultimates 2 #100, the prime earth's Ultimates met the original Ultimates from the Ultimate Marvel universe, and team up against the Maker. After it, they leave to the multiverse. In Secret Empire #7 Miles Morales attacks Hydra Cap, and the Punisher snipe kills the Black Widow. The fanfic links both of those issues: instead of letting the original Ultimates go, they ask them for help to pierce the forcefield around Earth. After all, they have a Tony Stark. So they show up during that fight, and put an early end to the whole conflict. There are plenty of continuity nods to Ultimate Marvel, and a monumental "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Hydra Cap. And I think that the ending should be more satisfactory than the canon one. This is my first fanfic, so reviews are welcome.

And thanks to the guys at the "Comics" subforum, who indirectly gave me the idea for this fanfic while we discussed about Secret Empire.

Darkest Dungeon, Blazing Bright, a crossover between Darkest Dungeon and Trails in the Sky

  • Summary: After a request goes wrong, Estelle Bright wakes up in a strange Hamlet without Joshua. Her search leads her to the Heir, who strikes a deal: become one of his dungeon divers in exchange for leads on Joshua's whereabouts. While searching for her lover, Estelle must also uncover long-buried secrets and confront the horrors of the Darkest Dungeon.
  • Notes: This fic takes place between Trails of Cold Steel 2 and 4. It's about Estelle's ordeal in the Darkest Dungeon world as she searches for Joshua while working as one of the Heir's dungeon divers. Despite the myriad new horrors she'll be facing, the ball of sunshine that is Estelle can't and won't be snuffed out.

I'm writing a Buffyverse fic called Potential. Here's the summary:

Half a year ago, a spell was cast that sent ripples through the world. Every girl with the potential to become one of the legendary slayers was endowed with that power, in one moment.

Faith has set her sights on L.A, seeking Angel's help in her mission to protect and recruit these new slayers. Cordelia's death is still wearing on him, as he finds himself lacking purpose.

They reconnect as they seek out the slayers, and try to help however they can. But in the City of Angels, not everybody acts like one, and they'll have to face those who would do the slayers harm, as well as the slayers themselves, having been given more power than sense.

I'm in the middle of writing a Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V series called (æ)viternity that, without trying to spoil anything, focuses on life in Maiami City while the Lancers are elsewhere.

The first entry, (æ)mæth (AO3 link here), was written in 2015-16 over the course of 6-7 months. The second entry, (æ)lohim (AO3 link here), has taken me substantially longer with the job I currently work, but it's a little over half done as it stands now.

Mild language and thematic violence in both cases (as per Yu-Gi-Oh proper), but the second fic does dial it up a tad, so fair warning there.

(Also, there's a Duel in a trampoline park. So ... there's that. *cough*)

Since I strongly disagree with the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, specifically The Last Jedi, I decided to write my own.

The first installment is Episode VII: The Dark Jedi.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13023690/1/Episode-VII-The-Dark-Jedi

This takes place fifteen years after Return of the Jedi and features all our beloved OT characters doing things we wanted and expected them to be doing; Luke is a Jedi Master training others at his academy, Leia runs the New Republic, Han is now a diplomatic ambassador with Chewie at his side, Lando is helping Leia in the Senate, and all the droids are helping their respective friends (C-3PO is with Leia, R2-D2 is with Luke).

I hate hate HATE Happy Ending Override stories, especially after at least six films detailing how hard the heroes worked to save the galaxy. This isn't a shaggy dog story because now the galaxy is stronger and more capable of fighting the new threat, whereas if it was still Empire vs Rebellion, it would have been a massacre.

The new characters are my classes from Star Wars: The Old Republic, because I'm narcissistic like that. First is my Light Side Sith Inquisitor, Baetana, trying to get Luke's help in defeating her daughter, a Dark Side Jedi Consular named Bonbei, who is the second newbie. 'The Dark Jedi' refers to Baetana and/or Bonbei, depending on your point of view.

I liked The Force Awakens, and so I did keep Finn, Poe, BB-8, and Captain (now Commander) Phasma. I also like the Expanded Universe (Legends) Continuity, so I also retained Jaina, Jacen, and Anakin Solo. I might use other Legends characters in the future. Uncertain, the future is.
