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.

My latest is up on AO 3. I love Missy from Doctor Who and I'm glad I finally got the chance to write a story about her. As with most of my other stories, it's restricted to those with AO 3 accounts:

The Sea-Change of Fate is my Kingdom Hearts AU fic series, that I started because I was really getting back into Kingdom Hearts and I'm not allowed to write Doctor Who fanfics anymore.

The main focus is on an AU where the female characters get to do something, but along the way I admittedly get sidetracked by my own pet peeves and fixations personal issues and demons and stuff like trauma and abuse because of course I do.

I try to be funny, because of course I do, and I'm probably bad at it because of course I am but I also try to be 'real'. Probably real bad at that too.

...I weirdly really like my "Day 12.8" fic though. I get try to go all Mind Screw and Unreliable Narrator, which is my favorite thing in books like Faction Paradox.

Kingdom Hearts is weirdly good at that because of how convoluted its own plot can get at times.

Future Imperfect, a Danger Mouse fanfic I wrote following a viewing of "A Fistful of Penfolds", which was a pretty good one for fans of the Squawkencluck/Penfold 'ship.

It's pretty niche but I run a blog focusing on fanfic dedicated to Nozomi Tojo, converted from formerly being rp.

http://atruejoestar.tumblr.com/

If by any chance the link doesn't display its atruejoestar on tumblr. I like mostly addressing serious stuff but also sweet things too. Most of all I just like making things I can each time I write something new. I work on this stuff alongside writing a book (and working retail) so I'm not always posting. I love touching new boundaries and exploring different scenarios, so there's lots of crossovers mixed in/planned too. Some of my author influences/people I like include Patrick Rothfuss, Jack London, Shirley Jackson, Kentaro Miura, Joe Hill, Neil Gaiman, and Yoko Taro.

Here's some samples:

I write stories featuring original characters in Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar universe. Mostly friendship problems, Choosings, near-death experiences and pranks. It's a character driven series featuring a large cast of characters. The series is called Tales from the Collegium and can be found here on Archive of Our Own: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1103670 The same stories are posted under To Be a Heraldic Trainee on Fanciction.net: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12782943/1/To-be-a-Heraldic-Trainee

I'm writing short drabbles on character teams based on the performance of a voice actor, regardless if he/she acted the roles or voiced them in their careers.

Note that anyone can jump in and write their own drabble if they so wish.

So after some back and forth in my head I decided to actually go ahead and write a fanfic based on my characters from The Old Republic. I've only got one chapter so far, but I'm hoping people take interest. I've never actually written fanfiction before this, only original fiction.

I've been spending quite a while writing Ranma ½ and Urusei Yatsura fanfic under the name Delicious Gears. Here's some of the stuff I've been doing recently:

Okonomiyaki Summer Wars (Ao3, FFN), a crossover where Tomobiki's finest meet the gang from Furinkan, when Ryuunosuke finds herself running her own Hamachaya on the same beach where Ukyou is serving up her okonomiyaki.

Total Remote Control (Ao3, FFN), an UY fic which involves a lot of messing around with gender roles, and rock music.

The Key To Victory (Ao3, FFN), an UY AU where Ryuunosuke is the one who faces Lum in the game of Tag to decide the fate of Earth, and ends up engaged to her.

Myopia (Ao3, FFN), a little Ranma short with Akane and Mousse as the lead characters.

And finally, there's The Disciple (Ao3, FFN), my first long form Ranma fanfic. It's a continuation where the Tendou Dojo takes in a new student, and Ranma and Akane have to deal with the problems in shifting from students to teachers.

Though I probably would be remiss in not mentioning Ryuunosuke In Bloom (Ao3, FFN), my first recently published fanfic, and a relatively more simple story than the others. But it's still a work that I am really proud of, and it's in the UY fanfic recommends here, which makes me happy.

And here is a prompt fill fanfic for Sherlock. Prompt: Sherlock is called up for jury duty. This means that he has to go and sit in a room where a case is being held and keep his trap shut, and then go and decide whether the guy did it with the other jurors.

Updates daily. You can find it on Ao 3 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16636853

I'd like to promote my story 'Aesir: Cross Wars', which sort of counts as a Norse Mythology fanfic.

It's a parody of fantasy video games, and has No Fourth Wall. It's a lot like Kid Icarus: Uprising. If you liked that, maybe you'll enjoy this, too.

This is my most ambicious project yet. It's a massive, sprawling retelling of the Marvel universe with elements taken from classic comics and movies, with an original spin. I'm also using Peni Parker, the alternate Spider-Girl, as a Composite Character of herself and Venom. I'd like some reviews and stuff. I've planned four arcs with the Fantastic Four, Spider-Girl, Avengers and X-men https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12941082/1/Ultimate-MCU

Title: Always Be My Baby

Fandom: "Braceface"

Genre: Tragedy, Hurt/Comfort

Rating: T on FFN (this is a tamer version), M on AO 3 (more mature content)

Link: [1]

Summary: When a tragic loss occurs, Sharon doesn't think she'll ever get over it. But then she receives more life-changing news. How will she cope? And how will her friends and family react? Sharon/Alden, with a little Alyson/Connor and Maria/Brock.

Notes: This is a WIP I'm currently writing. Since the fandom is pretty small (maybe even considered dead at this point), it's been tough getting feedback. The one person who's been reviewing on AO 3 has given me positive feedback though. If you're familiar with the fandom, you can tell me how I'm doing with keeping everyone in character. If you're not familiar with Braceface, I'd still like to know if you feel the plot makes sense, how my grammar is, how I should be tagging it if you read the AO 3 version. I accept all praise or criticism. I'm also willing to do a "Read For Read". If you read and give feedback on my story, I'll do the same for one of yours. Even if I'm not familiar with the fandom, I'll do my best to help you.

I'll warn that this story deals with a Major Character Death. It also relies heavily on the Break the Cutie trope. There are other tropes involved, but I don't want to spoil too much. I do have a couple of other stories for this fandom, but wasn't sure if I'm allowed to post them here, due to content. Just want to ergo on the side of caution.

http://www.housepetscomic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4290 This is a Houspets fan fiction crossing over with Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Metal Heroes, Power Rangers, the Dragon Ball Series and a whole lot of other stuff. it transplants the Gokaiger stuff into many other Sentais.

Oh and did I forget that these rangers have EVERYTHING UNLOCKED from the start?

Kaizoku Sentai Power Rangers Kingkaiger is the name. Main characters are King, Bailey, Ace, Olive, Rook and new characters to the fic Jack and Queen.
