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.

thank you. the first part is generally how I introduce myself at the start of new semesters, so I figured it would work here. And it is pretty accurate. oh, the poor fictional characters I get my mits on.....granted, most of them needed therapy in canon and I tend to give them some, but still.

Number One

Synopsis: Shinji Ikari is raised by the main characters of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, written specifically in an attempt to avoid the usual badfic cliches.

Currently Original Flavor for Evangelion, will eventually turn Original Flavor for Lyrical Nanoha.

Fic status: very erratic update schedule, but the last three chapters all came out in fairly quick succession.

Reviews were, are, and always will be appreciated.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11432157/1/Shadow-Over-Gravity-Falls

So this is my newest fanfiction, and my second into the Gravity Falls fandom. But I am adding a little twist by also making it a multi-Disney crossover. So characters from basically any show that Disney has produced can show up. Ranging from say American Dragon Jake Long to That's so Raven.

The story revolves around Dipper and Mabel turning up in Gravity Fall's after having been 'gone' from it for the past five years and reconnected with their old summer hang out. Except during those five years a lot has changed, and not all of it for the better.

Oh right and it also has a bit of Dipperx Pacifica. And by a bit I mean on top of everything else its a ship fic. Because why not? I could use some thoughts and opinions on it.

Publicity is a collaboration Young Justice fic between me and Parvum Automaton.

  • Summary: The Reach have been removed from the planet and the Light exposed. Now all the League and the Team had to deal with was a little bad publicity. Compared to an alien invasion, that did not seem so difficult. And maybe it wouldn’t have been, if the League did not pull in Maxwell Lord to help.

  • Characters: Jaime Reyes, Tye Longshadow, Karen Beecher, Jason Todd, Cassie Sandsmark, Maxwell Lord, plenty of others.

Basically, it's a fic set shortly after s2. We started working on it about two years ago, and finally decided it's good to post. It's finished, and we're posting the chapters bi-weekly.

Can't live in dreams is a Flash fic that looks at a couple of universes where Cisco and Barry never met—for whatever reason—but Cisco starts having dreams about the show's timeline. Because, as Barry said in the deleted scene, the universe wants them to be bros (or more)

it's mostly, like, snapshot style, not very long, and it /is/ complete.

Added Layers

Fandom: Danger Mouse

Summary: DM and Squawkencluck are cutting up onions...but DM only tears up from the inside

The narrator of the series provides the prowse descriptions...which eventually unravels as the fic proceeds, to the point where...well...you'll see. I figured I'd get the ball rolling on fanfiction for the new 2015 revival of the series and the potential 'ship for DM and Squawkencluck

From The Boring To The Bold

Summary: Dangermouse and Penfold return from Hawaii to deal a firm hand to a distressing situation...let's just hope the narrator can hold it together and get us through it (spoilers for "Danger At C Level"). The format from Added Layers makes a return here

Room For A Good Life

Summary: Squawk trusted him...but with all good trust exercises, it depends entirely on who's there to catch you when you fall...(Spoilers for "Greenfinger")

My rewritten Quest for Glory fanfic! Taking a slower pace this time, to give better character development and such. Apologies if I have posted this already. There's only one chapter at the moment, but I'm about to post the second soon (just waiting for my feedback) and am currently working on the third atm.

Just for comparison's sake, here's my first draft: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8108133/1/Quest-For-Glory-So-You-Want-To-Be-A-Hero

The horrible, horrible first draft... >.< I hate that prologue compared to my remake.

Welp, I think it's time I do some promoting of my own! The First Rebel Remember the Mario movie in 1993? This is a prequel to that set in the early 70's. It's about a former agent of the king (mainly working for koopa), who gets betrayed by King Koopa himself and is imprisoned to an insane asylum in the desert. The Rebel breaks out along with a friend of his named Wario. Together they plan on killing koopa, well ok the Rebel plans, Wario's just doing his own thing while helping the rebel.

Think of a mix between science fiction, Mario, Film Noir, and Richard Stark novels. It's pretty gritty. This here is a redux version of an older draft I did. you can see the older draft but I'm working on this redux and it's the official story.

#116: Nov 24th 2015 at 7:04:52 PM

Okay, I’ve been working on this story for a while now and I haven’t posted it until now because I wasn’t sure whether it’s too risqué to promote here.

Anyway, the story is called Weiss the Hobo. (The link goes to my profile page, as I’m not 100% sure if the first chapter is SFW enough to post a direct link to, even though it isn’t too explicit.)


Fandom: Several (see below), though RWBY is the primary fandom.
Synopsis: Weiss Schnee is a smelly, crack-addicted hobo, forced to wander Vale’s harsh city streets ever since her family had disowned her. One day in a fit of starvation, Weiss steals pancakes from her former classmate, Nora Valkyrie, though she fails to realize what dire consequences may arise from doing so. Seething with vengeance, Nora dedicates her existence to making Weiss’s life miserable by obstructing Weiss’s efforts to find employment and by assembling an army of supervillains to enact her evil schemes.

Now faced with her lack of money and the growing power of Nora’s newfound corporation, Weiss joins up with her former teammates to travel the globe to find allies to help her defeat Nora’s army, only to be hindered by Nora’s minions at every turn.

The story also follows the dashing criminal Roman Torchwick as he engages in the company’s politics first-hand, along with Melanie and Miltiades Malachite, who struggle on a quest to become relevant to the plot.

But as the war between Weiss and Nora unfolds, each of these tales shall converge into a greater whole, and soon everyone will learn of the Great Shrekoning that is to come.


Notes: First and foremost, this story is a crack fic, with Shrek, innuendo-laden descriptions, bizarre pseudo-historical tangents, dank memes, poop jokes, Shrek, random character deaths, a superfluous number of crossovers and cameos, and numerous elements common to Youtube poop and montage parodies. While the above description may outline the general plot of the story, it might not capture its inherent bizarreness, which you’d have to read in order to describe it.

While the story initially starts out in the RWBY-verse, it quickly becomes a Massive Multiplayer Crossover with elements of 300; Aladdin; Asura's Wrath; Avatar: The Last Airbender; Barney & Friends; Bear in the Big Blue House; Call of Duty; Civilization; Death Note; Doctor Who; Ed, Edd n Eddy; The Elder Scrolls; Family Guy; Fate/stay night; The Heroic Legend of Arslan; Higurashi: When They Cry; House of Cards (US); The Hunchback Of Notre Dame; I. M. Meen; Italian Spiderman; Jojos Bizarre Adventure; League of Legends; The Legend Of Zelda C Di Games; Mirai Nikki; My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic; Neon Genesis Evangelion; Pajama Sam; Peanuts; Putt-Putt; Rugrats; The Seven Deadly Sins; Shrek; A Song of Ice and Fire; Sonic the Hedgehog; Spongebob Squarepants; SPY Fox; Star Fox; Star Wars; Super Mario Bros.; Team Fortress 2; Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann; Thomas the Tank Engine; Umineko: When They Cry; Venture Brothers; Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby; and Yellow Submarine.

By the way, that’s not even the full list of stuff I'm crossing over with, based on what I have planned for this story, and I’ve probably missed a few.

I am not sane by any stretch of the imagination.

I pretty much designed this fic to be a total trainwreck while trying to cram in as many crossovers as I could. While the fic is fairly silly and bizarre for the most part, it does take itself seriously sometimes and it does have something of a plot. Also, while there aren’t too many lemon scenes and whatnot, the descriptions and humor can get very raunchy at times, so it’s not for everyone. The fic blatantly advertises the fact it has Shrek in it, so you have a rough idea what to expect.

There also might be some OOC moments in this fic, whether it’s intentional, due to bad writing or both. Also, I’m pretty sure I’ve fucked up some of the Fate lore/mechanics while writing this, just as a heads up to anyone reading this.

While RWBY is the primary fandom for this fic, I kinda wanted to see if anyone else here would be interested in reading it, even though it’s not serious like most fics. Even though it’s not listed as a crossover, I’m not sure what it would fall under and changing it now would probably confuse readers keeping up with this fic. It’s got twenty chapters so far, a little bit less than the halfway point for what I have planned for this story. There might be some early installment weirdness in the first few chapters, as my direction kinda shifted while writing this story.

Anyway, happy reading everyone, and be sure to leave your thoughts and/or comments!

Please don’t kill me…

Did a Persona 4 fic called Covert Operations with Yu as a undercover Center agent who gets activated a month prior to being called back to duty due to the murder in Yasoinaba.

Story ideas, AFAIK, includes his problem in keeping his Center identity a secret with IT and a few other factions that... have some interest with the events in the town.

This is a crossover with Martin Mystery (Cartoon) and Assassin's Creed (Story details won't be revealed right away).

I'm currently writing three different fanfics right now.

The first is Digital Harmony, which has its own trope page. It's a crossover between My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic and Digimon Adventure 02, an idea that sprang to mind when I noted some similarities between Fluttershy from MLP and Ken Ichijouchi from Digimon. This one's by far my most ambitious project and I've been working on it for slightly over two years. I'm not even halfway finished with it yet, but I have the entire thing planned out and I anticipate that I'll finish it within the next three years.

The second is a Cave Story/Undertale crossover called Under Story. This one's less ambitious but I still do have a fairly lengthy plan for this. It might take a while to finish, but I do like what I have planned out so far. I mistakenly referred to Frisk as male in the narration since I hadn't realized the character's gender was ambiguous until after I'd started writing. It's too late to correct now since fanfiction.net's editing system is needlessly obtuse, but thankfully I fixed this mistake in my third fic.

Finally, my third fic is another Undertale fanfic called The Darkness Beyond Reset, which explores the question "what happens to timelines that you undo when you load or reset?" This one's partially inspired by a similar plot element in Chrono Cross, but you don't need to have played Chrono Cross to get it. It's written on Archive of Our Own instead of Fanfiction.net because found it to be a better website after trying it out. It's not as ambitious as either of my other fanfictions, and I consider it mostly a side project.

[up]Honestly, the one thing I'd like to see in any DB fanfic is to have the human characters actually be useful, girl Goku or no girl Goku. They don't even have to be as strong as Goku, but they should at least be able to hold their own in a fight as opposed to getting Curb Stomped every other day of the week, as opposed to how Tomino ended up handling them.

Though having Goku be a girl is also neat, of course.

Here's a fic I'm working on, five chapters at a time. Star Wars's return to the big screen has renewed my interest in the verse, so here goes:

Star Wars: Shadows of the Old Republic

Idea: It is 370 years before the Battle of Yavin and the Republic is at its apex. The Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, Corwin Vance, Sr., is serving an unprecedented seventh term, and his last, for a term limit bill has passed in the Senate. The Republic is in its Golden Age, but cracks are emerging. The Jedi Order, once united in purpose, is facing an insurrection by the followers of the Potentium philosophy, whose leader, Leor Hal, has foreseen a time of great upheaval in the Galaxy and has challenged Master Yoda as no other ever has, denouncing him as a dogmatic ultraconservative, and whose message has attracted hundreds of followers. In the Senate, the news of a Mandalorian resurgence has led to the creation of a Militarist faction, led by Senator Fenric Tarkin of Eriadu, who wish to see a Republic Army and Navy re-instituted, against the wishes of the Chancellor, who wishes to establish a compromise. And in the shadows, the Sith, suffering from a string of incompetent lords, wait for an opportunity to renew their machinations against the galactic government.

Part I: Jedi Knight Corwin Vance, Jr., captain in the Judicial Starfleet's Blackwatch is sent on a mission to Maridun to destroy a Mandalorian base on the orders of his father, the Chancellor, who hopes to generate good publicity for the overstretched and underfunded Judicial Starfleet. But once there, he discovers that the base is part of a plot to destabilize Republic control over the loosely-held Grumani Sector in the Outer Rim, where several corporations are looking to move in following a Republic withdrawal. Meanwhile, Supreme Chancellor Vance champions the expansion of the Judicial Starfleet, as a compromise between the Peace and Militarist factions, and jockeys for funding to create a new fleet. Code-named "Project Katana," the fleet of brand new dreadnaughts would guard the Core Worlds, freeing up resources for the overstretched Outer Rim police forces.

Basically a reimagining of two of my favorite EU stories, Shadows of the Empire and Cloak of Deception. Will post a link once the first chapters are edited and finished.
