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.

@caivu, I red the fic you linked to. It's really good (Batwoman is one of my favourite DC characters, although she isn't in The Supermen since it's more Justice League focus than Gotham focus). I expect the only reason it hasn't got a lot of hits is because it's Gen and a one-shot. It's really well written, you write action scenes in particular very well.

Honestly I wrote these two stories when I was still new to fanfic and writing in general so they embarrass me a lot, and I haven't had time to update or fix their issues in a while, but I figured why not

https://www.wattpad.com/story/37607951-my-friend-the-delivery-god-a-noragami-fanfic

A noragami fanfic based around a girl with problems expressing herself getting herself involved with the main cast out of loneliness

https://www.wattpad.com/story/46415948-how-to-survive-the-anime-world

A slightly cracky multi world jumping story where the protagonist has to make a perfect fanfic for an impulsive goddess. I had actually started on a world at the beginning, but I realized that I was to inexperienced at the time to write it so I deleted all the chapters regarding it.

I absolutely cannot help but adore handsome 2D boys

Behold my Zootopia fanfiction! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12695106/1/Zootopia-Files

At its essence... it's me putting Nick and Judy and other characters through the weirdest stuff I could think of! Largely because I don't know enough about police procedurals to make something comparatively mundane interesting. But on the plus side, there are Vampire's, robots, hybrid dinosaurs, and ABSOLUTE MAYHEM!

It also has two spinoffs, based around my OC, Pandora Wilde-Hopps, the hybrid daughter of Nick and Judy, created by a mad scientist.

Also, all three fic's are on both fanfiction.net and archiveofourown.org

Hello, I recently discovered the thread and wondered if I could show this to others. Those are the ones I'm writing currently:

Grimm Slayer: A RWBY/Goblin Slayer Fusion Fic where is actually a simple adventure with character interactions and fights without any complex plot yet. This is a story that got the most unexpected success. The chapters are short since I want bigger fights to get bigger lengths. Here is the FF.Net version

It's Always Sunny in Paradise (FF.Net version): It is my original RWBY story that follows an OC team going through a parallel journey from the main show. It includes canon characters as well that didn't appear after V3 (with some exceptions). This is actually Act 2 of the bigger story as the previous ones follow the OC team going to separated adventures before reuniting.

I know this a long post, but I hope someone checks this out since I don't get enough feedback or sometimes isn't elaborated to help me improve my writing. I will appreciate the criticism as long is constructive of course.

I'll just use the description I used on Bulbagarden for this fic.

Cyrus Falks: Ace Attorney by BackSet [TEEN] [Franchise: Ace Attorney] [Canon: Games] [Chaptered] Cyrus Falks is a fresh out of law school attorney with nigh endless optimism. He's prepared to fight for what's right and defend his clients. But things are going on behind the scenes and it seems like his mysterious mentor is the one pulling the strings. Could his knowledge of old case files really be that important? This is an interactive fanfic that requires reader (or as I like to call you, player) input.​

So far case one is complete with the second one as a work in progress. It's not the best writing in the world and definitely not the best mystery writing in the world but I like to think it's pretty okay.

Not sure if it counts as fanfiction per say but me and a bunch of people I met on the internet do an ongoing roleplay/collaborative Pokemon fanfic called The Very Best.

It's about a group of teenagers trying to stop Teams Aqua and Magma. At least, for now.

hi there!

longtime lurker on the site, now finally a member!

I'm here to talk about my very first fanfic, which is basically a retelling of dragon ball from beginning to end. it's called" "dragon ball: the tale of bulma and the monkey boy."

now you're surely wondering two things:

-" man, that title's so generic, even vanilla ice cream has more flavor than that title!"

- "oh no, another retelling? so original!"

to both of those, yes, I completely agree with you. that's what happens when a brilliant, but lazy french-canadian who hates writing does a fanfic. and, as you can expect, there are grammar issues, weird dialogues and all kinds of issues with this fic.

so why would I be interested in reading this fic if even the author himself tells you of its many faults, you might ask?

well, despite these shortcomings, I felt like the 32 chapters I have written so far aren't as bad as I thought, to be honest. I really felt like I surpassed myself everytime I wrote a chapter. plus, I'm not afraid to shake things up and I don't pull my punches, so there's that, I guess...

its on AO 3, under the kinnikuniverse name.you can read it, if you want... cause I can't post the link cause I'm a new account.

hope you'll enjoy it...or at least, be able to appreciate the effort...yeah.

man, this is gonna suck...

I've been working on a crossover fanfic called Indiscriminate Spellcasting. It's been posted to both FF Net and AO 3 if you prefer. The primary conceit is that a slightly older Ranma Saotome (of Ranma 1/2 fame) ends up in Midgar (of Final Fantsy 7 fame) two weeks before AVALANCHE blow up the Sector 1 reactor (the event that kicks off the game's main story). Things proceed from there. There will be some basic following the canon storyline, a lot of expansion of detail, and quite a few departures from the normal plot. Takes a look at Ranma's rather unusual talent at picking up new techniques for combat on the fly.

Apparently I can't post a link, so...

I wrote an epilogue to Be Cool Scooby-Doo entitled "Keeping Cool Ain't All That Simple", it deals directly with a potential aftermath of the ending to the two-parter "Professor Huh" but it's largely just an excuse to end the series with some Shapne, as I feel this was the closest the franchise has gotten to teasing the pairing since the 80s and I was a bit bummed Fred got a lot more attention from Daphne in the television story, so I'm quite cruel to him here. Not quite Die for Our Ship, just suffer a great deal for it.

I really suggest you either make a less biased and cruel fic, or rephrase your wording to say you arent doing such cruelty outright.

[up]

You need to sell it better.

You could probably leave out the disclaimer because you make it sound more like a straight up revenge fic than what you're actually trying to write (unless it is a straight up revenge fic in which case, lie like a dog) and that's a turn off for a lot of people.

I should work in advertising.
