Yeah. I read a lot of Marvel comics.

>>79092874
No, this is always autistic homosexual love stories and awful crossovers.

>>79093245
Then why not write one that isn't homosexual love stories and awful crossovers?

Yes, and it's better than yours

> not shitty homosexual love stories
shitty heterosexual love stories or worse: CROSSOVERS shitty love stories, same annoying shit.

awful autistic sequel, prequel or shitty parody.

I'll admit that the majority of fanfiction is awful but there are some good ones there and some REALLY good ones as well that makes me sad when it's over.

of course there are going to be shitty fanfictions.
especially of PG stuff.
but hey, rather autistic cartoon fanfic written by a 12 year old who has just started out writing than a retarded fic for an adult show written by an adult

I'm actually writing one. For a Disney cartoon of all things. It's strange, never read or wrote it much and then this one movie made me into a shipper.

as a frequent fanfic reader i might give you a few basic guide lines

I write. It's a fun way to practice.

Nothing currently going at the moment, but I was thinking of starting something about this game.

The ridiculously long hiatus is due to moving and starting uni etc, but I've been working on a new chapter which is currently at some 7k words.
Chapter 2 is the worst one, I think. I like the writing in later chapters more.

Feel free to comment either here or directly on the fic comments, thanks a lot for your time and effort.

No, it's 99.99% mary sue inserts or shitty stories written solely to pander to the authors ship.

I was thinking of doing something like having an OC in the DC universe but mainly treating it like one of those "new hero" titles where they have their own supporting cast and villains and every once in a while an established hero or villain shows up.

Thoughts?

Also, any general tips, places to post, etc. for an aspiring fanfiction writer?

Yes, frequently. Hell, I'm reading some at work right now.

I write it occasionally but I don't feel motivated to write anything often.

I once read a SW fanfiction that was so good I thoght it was canon

The only problem I have is that when I go on a site like a03 the material there is usually hard core gay 50 shades of grey sex fanfiction. With no plot. Fanfiction.net is way better

>>79094290
Yep. It's the ship that caught me, who hadn't read any fanfic in over a decade, who had never written any fanfic, who didn't much like Disney at all, and who am now, 2 years after the movie, still working on a fanfic of all things.

Well, it got me into writing. I actually signed up for a creative writing course because of it all. I swear if I ever end up getting a book published I'll dedicate it to Hans

Depends. Fiverr usually gets them. I advertise my writing account there. Upwork gets a few. I also link on social media, Deviantart, and Roleplay forums too to write stories. It was through Fiverr someone found me to write the Minecraft fanfiction. Apparently it's a thing I guess, though some of the stories he wanted me to write were weird.

> “You want some of my cheesy feet?” Toot asked.
> Without saying a word, Barry grabbed both her feet and started licking all of the cheese off her feet.

Looking pretty good. I didn't much care for Frozen, but the idea of examining Hans' viewpoint on the events seems nice. His characterization in the movie felt a little odd to me, and you've managed to come up with pretty good justifications for his actions.

I'm a picky reader and I drop a fanfic instantly if I spot issues that annoy me; frequent typing errors, bad paragraph formatting, swearwords that don't fit the tone of the work, etc. You haven't pushed any of those kinds of buttons, your text is readable. I like how you're examining the story from the viewpoint of characters who have this distant, dignified and old-fashioned demeanor; it's different from more generic and down-to-earth POV characters. Also, it's rare for me to read a fanfic involving a work that I don't care about, but so far this fic's keeping me interested enough (currently I'm halfway through the second chapter).

And write original stories on textnovel. Writing fanfiction makes me feel uncomfortable.
>>
I used to write fanfiction. Got a kick out of the fact that people would read my stories. So I wrote more and more, and just got more and more popular. By about the time I got about a million reads over a few dozen stories I started getting sick of it. I started to lose interest in my own fanbase. I started writing intentionally bad stuff, second person perspective wish fulfillment type stories. They just ate that up all the more.

So I just quit. I'd rather write my own stories, my own characters, and not have any audience, rather than keep doing that.

Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm a goth (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

"Hey Ebony!" shouted a voice. I looked up. It was…. Draco Malfoy!

"What's up Draco?" I asked.

"Nothing." he said shyly.

But then, I heard my friends call me and I had to go away.

Chapter 2.

AN: Fangz 2 bloodytearz666 4 helpin me wif da chapta! BTW preps stop flaming ma story ok!

The next day I woke up in my bedroom. It was snowing and raining again. I opened the door of my coffin and drank some blood from a bottle I had. My coffin was black ebony and inside it was hot pink velvet with black lace on the ends. I got out of my coffin and took of my giant MCR t-shirt which I used for pajamas. Instead, I put on a black leather dress, a pentagram necklace, combat boots and black fishnets on. I put on four pairs of earrings in my pierced ears, and put my hair in a kind of messy bun.

My friend, Willow (AN: Raven dis is u!) woke up then and grinned at me. She flipped her long waist-length raven black hair with pink streaks and opened her forest-green eyes. She put on her Marilyn Manson t-shirt with a black mini, fishnets and pointy high-heeled boots. We put on our makeup (black lipstick white foundation and black eyeliner.)

"OMFG, I saw you talking to Draco Malfoy yesterday!" she said excitedly.

"Yeah? So?" I said, blushing.

"Do you like Draco?" she asked as we went out of the Slytherin common room and into the Great Hall.

"No I so fucking don't!" I shouted.

"Yeah right!" she exclaimed. Just then, Draco walked up to me.

"Hi." he said.

"Hi." I replied flirtily.

"Guess what." he said.

"What?" I asked.

"Well, Good Charlotte are having a concert in Hogsmeade." he told me.

"Oh. My. Fucking. God!" I screamed. I love GC. They are my favorite band, besides MCR.

"Well…. do you want to go with me?" he asked.

I gasped.

It stands to be remembered that there do exist ways to find reasonably-good fanfiction stories. It was only relatively recently that FanFiction.net added the ability to sort stories by number of favorites and reviews in addition to filtering them by word count.

I write fanfic, but I don't really read much. Gravity Falls gave me a lot of great Head-canons I wanted to explore, so I made some. I made one about a Prom Night where Mabel tried to help Dipper get a date and have it be successful, and an AU about the last episode. Both were pretty heavy on the feels side.

I really liked doing it, and got some pretty positive feedback on top of it, which I didn't expect. I hadn't written in years so it was a great way of getting back into the game.

I read bad fanfiction for a laugh. Years ago there was one (deleted now) that gave my mates and I a good chuckle when we read it aloud.

It was a Naruto/Sasuke yaoi fic. Standard affair, make outs at home, discussing drama relevant to where the author is in the series at the time of writing, and taking a shower together before sex in a bed. What was notable was that the author kept switching between first and third person; one paragraph it's "Naruto and Sasuke" next it's "me and Sasuke". We joked that it was a threesome with the author. What was the most memorable moment was when Sasuke put a finger to Naruto's lips to hush him, but the author not only misspelled "put" with two u's and double past tense, they also somehow missed the F key so bad they spelled finger with a W, giving us the gem "Sasuke puutted a winger on Naruto's lips." Since we were reading this aloud, we pronounced it as "poot'd a winger" and it remains an injoke to this day.

I'll give most /co/-created fanfiction a quick look over if I'm in the thread, but I like writing it better than reading it. as other anons have said, it keeps me in practice when I'm not writing my own original work and it gives me a good excuse to write some weird shit like a Mad Max flavoured Inside Out story.

it also feels good writefagging for generals. I genuinely feel like I'm giving something back to the other anons in the threads and it makes me happy.

On the night of the concert I put on my black lace-up boots with high heels. Underneath them were ripped red fishnets. Then I put on a black leather minidress with all this corset stuff on the back and front. I put on matching fishnet on my arms. I straightened my hair and made it look all spiky. I felt a little depressed then, so I slit one of my wrists. I read a depressing book while I waited for it to stop bleeding and I listened to some GC. I painted my nails black and put on TONS of black eyeliner. Then I put on some black lipstick. I didn't put on foundation because I was pale anyway. I drank some human blood so I was ready to go to the concert.

I went outside. Draco was waiting there in front of his flying car. He was wearing a Simple Plan t-shirt (they would play at the show too), baggy black skater pants, black nail polish and a little eyeliner (AN: A lot fo kewl boiz wer it ok!).

"Hi Draco!" I said in a depressed voice.

"Hi Ebony." he said back. We walked into his flying black Mercedes-Benz (the license plate said 666) and flew to the place with the concert. On the way we listened excitedly to Good Charlotte and Marilyn Manson. We both smoked cigarettes and drugs. When we got there, we both hopped out of the car. We went to the mosh pit at the front of the stage and jumped up and down as we listened to Good Charlotte.

"You come in cold, you're covered in blood
They're all so happy you've arrived
The doctor cuts your cord, hands you to your mom
She sets you free into this life." sang Joel (I don't own da lyrics 2 dat song).

"Joel is so fucking hot." I said to Draco, pointing to him as he sung, filling the club with his amazing voice.

Suddenly Draco looked sad.

"What's wrong?" I asked as we moshed to the music. Then I caught on.

"Hey, it's ok I don't like him better than YOU!" I said.

"Really?" asked Draco sensitively and he put his arm around me all protective.

The problem with fanfiction is that in the minds of most people fanfiction is just stories about male impregnation or cuckolding or self-inserts or whatever. Basically they're very low quality wank material and most people look down on them, some stories are incredibly complex and well designed and are even better than the source material but those are very rare and stuck between stories of Sonichu and sasgayxnaruto

"Please…" He begged, her hands in his tightly.

"I'm sorry. It's just too much for me," She whispered. "I never meant for it to get this serious. I feel… I feel so terrible," He put his hand over his eyes and held his breath as she witnessed him at his weakest point. "Let me get you a tissue…"

Hank put his hand out. "No, I'm fine. I… You're right…Ridiculous…"

"Wait," She grabbed a tissue from the counter and reached up to wipe his face innocently. Hank pulled back and shook his head.

"Please, stop. Don't touch me. I'll die if you touch me…" He said, his hand coming up to shield his face from her soft little fingers. She looked pained and it only managed to pluck at his heart strings more. He had to leave now. He felt claustrophobic and nauseous suddenly.

He practically ran out the door, his hand still wiping away the tears that stubbornly continued to fall from his eyes. Hank felt cheated. For the very first time in his life, he opened up completely to someone and bore his heart and soul to her only to be shot down. She had wounded him like no other. He mind as well not have a heart anymore because she had shattered it into a million pieces.

Part of the problem is that doing comedy in written form is surprisingly kinda tricky - it can certainly be done, but it's not as easy as it is in other mediums.

And that applies double for a cartoon, like Ed Edd & Eddy. EEE draws most of its humor from its surreal animation and imagery, the appealing voice acting and delivery, clever slapstick, and a good sense of timing, all of which just don't work in written form.

One time when I was ten, I read a fanfic that was just the first episode of Naruto the Abridged Series but transcribed in every detail. Ignoring the obvious question of why anyone would do that, what struck me even then was how incredibly unfunny it became (and Naruto Abridged wasn't what you'd call high comedy to begin with, but this made it look even worse). Every detail was the same, but without timing, voice acting, or sight gags, suddenly all the appeal vanished.

Doing good literary comedy is quite possible, but it requires a very different set of tools.

Fucking Shocker:Legit.

It doesn't hold up to rereads but it's just about the 2nd best shocker fanfic around outside of that zombie one that I can;t find anymore.

IIRC, Yeardley Smith once said that "We don't know what a Simpsons episode is going to actually look like until it's finished." because I guess the script only gives you a rough outline of what's happening until the animation and voice acting are added in.

A writing driven show like Simpsons or KOTH would probably be a little better than something like EE&E or FOP that rely heavily on visual gags.

Thirty H's is a goddamn masterwork and anyone who says otherwise is a filthy liar.

>Harry slammed his book shut. It wasn't really a book, because the pages were made of lasers and the words were made of headless women making godless love to dragons made out of motorcycles, but it was still reading.

>"Gumbledorp, if you don't stop, we'll starve, and no one will be around to kill everyone in the universe if we get around to bringing everyone back to life after we killed them."

>"I am no longer Scrumblegort."

>The ancient man dropped some of the planets he was juggling.

>"The worlds have shifted. I am Dumblecop, of the Darkmeal."

>He flexed one of his legs, which was made of pistols, and kicked a planet in half.

>"Bugger your Darkmeal, faggart of a thousand suns."

>Dumblecop sniffed.

>"And what of it? Is it a sin, should a man feel like faggarting a sun or a thousand? Why should the suns heave through the void, if not to be skewer't bypon ourn fagpoles?"

>Harry cast a glance at the book. Unsavory sounds emanated from a particularly damned chapter. He was hungry. He looked at a nearby cup. It had a faded brown film on the bottom. He thought about chumpits.

I tried occasionally writing Simpsons fanfiction. I did some shipping stuff, although I never strayed too far from what they actually did on the show.

Gay romance and crossovers have been the core of fanfic ever since it began, because they're the two things that almost never happen. Crossovers require a lot of wrangling in real life to occur, and gay romance was (and still is, for the most part) intensely rare in most media.

Like, the reason AO3 has so many fanfics of Thor and Loki hooking up isn't because it's in the original. It's because it's not. They want them to hook up, but they never will, and that causes them to set out and try to make their own canon.

Oh, thank you.
I'm really relieved to hear it's readable even for non-fans or non-shippers. With shipping fics it's often a bit challenging to know what the real level is, based on the reader feedback, since (especially with the less popular ships) people tend to praise pretty much anything as long it caters to their ship. But I kind of wanted to tackle it and try to make it tolerably believable, even without the rose-tinted shipping goggles.

I have been thinking I should maybe rewrite the 2nd and 3rd chapters, they're maybe a bit overly wordy. I'll be interested to hear what you think when / if you make it past them, heh. And of course in general, any feedback, also critical, is welcomed. Especially from a picky reader.

Wasn't one of the first popular fics Kirk/Spock

>>79101602
Yeah, in some magazine from the 70's. Pretty sure female readers loved it.

>>79099006
Ao3 has more smut because it's allowed there, whereas ff.net has a policy to ban all MA rated content (coarse language, sexual and violent content, adult themes etc). There's a lot anyway because the admins haven't caught them, but they're supposed to be deleted on sight without a warning.

So a lot of writers take all of their smutty, dark or raunchy work to Ao3. There's a lot of good stuff too, and the tagging system allows for nice filtering. And for a while, the general level of fics was higher, though it's been exploding in popularity for the last year so I'm not sure if the difference is there any more.

Yeah, that's why they call it "slash." In old Star Trek fanzines, people would submit fanfics featuring Kirk and Spock's growing romance, and people were annoyed that those fanfics got sorted with stories where Kirk and Spock just hung out. So they created the division of "Kirk & Spock" to describe stories where Kirk and Spock were just buddies, and "Kirk/Spock" to describe stories where Kirk and Spock were butt-buddies. Of course, Kirk/Spock eclipsed Kirk & Spock by a significant margin.

I always wanted to write it and I even managed to get one chapter of a DBZ Bardock/OCwife posted. I lost interest thought when my beta readers never responded back. Got some nice reviews on it though.

AO3 isn't really better than FFN at this point, it's more a difference of the kind of bad. Like...

What's slightly horrifying to think about is that all of those bans are in place because there were so many stories doing those things it became a problem

For fuck's sake, there's evidence that suggests that the homoeroticism in The Epic of Gilgamesh was added in later by horny women.

Nah, that was a joke on SBF's part.

It is a known fact that Rebecca Sugar wrote Invader Zim fanfiction, though, and she cites it as an inspiration for several aspects of Gem society - the hierarchy of bigger Gems ruling over smaller ones calls to mind the Tallest, unaired episodes suggest that an Invader's real mind is located in their PAK, similar to how a Gem's real mind is located in its gemstone, and Peridot in general is very strongly Zim-inspired.

The problem with fanscripts is that most people can't write and end up just using them as a vehicle for their favorite ship/fetish/

I reached the beginning of chapter 5 some time ago but it's late in my timezone. I stopped reading so I can prepare going to sleep and continue tomorrow.

One addition I'd like to add to my previous comment is that I like how you're portraying Hans as a guy who can appear (and even genuinely be) noble and well-meaning, but his inner thoughts show a coldly pragmatic, scheming and manipulative side to him. It feels true to his movie-self. He maintained a pleasant face while secretly making these meticulous plans to turn the events so that he ends up getting what he wants. And I like that Elsa is very aware of what the guy's capable of, and keeps being suspicious of him. There are lots of fanfics where enemies end up having to co-operate, and if they start trusting one another too easily/quickly, it's another issue that can make me quit reading. It's much more fun when there's friction that they have to deal with and things build up slowly. Also, I don't much care for shipping, and I usually only accept canon couples in fanfics. But I can accept other pairings if it's well-written and believable.

Oh and I like the look into Arendelle's politics; showing this balancing act that political leaders have to do with both their own people as well as the leaders of foreign nations. Using stuff like Scandinavian naming conventions or local myths like tomtes is a nice touch too.

The thing is, My Immortal was an increasingly obvious trollfic made to parody bad fanfiction. It wasn't 100% clear that it was at first but as it went on it became more and more obvious with more blatant jokes along those lines. I could see being confused at first but I can't understand how anyone who read most of it could not realize it was a trollfic.

Not /co/ related, the only series I read fics from is Fate/Stay Night. Say what you want from the original story, the setting is interesting as hell.

I think you underestimate modern Marvel.

I don't generally like fanfiction, but I will admit I've read some (an extremely small/rare bit is actually any good) that really does do much more interesting and well executed things with ideas from works than the works themselves. Usually I only get tempted to actually look at stories if I feel like the original really mucked something up or there's a lot of wasted potential. And although most fanfic is utter shit, I have found a tiny few where I'll wish the original had been more like the fanfic.

Adventure Time fic that's third part in a series.

It's so good, able to do romance and shit while also having political intrigue and uses most of the important AT characters (very rare for stories for this show).

It's so good and the fact that it just updated after a two and a half year hiatus makes me convinced there is a god and he is kind and just.

I used to write/read fanfic back many years ago. Then I took writing classes. Then I came to the conclusion about 90% fanfic are badly written spec scripts and you do it for free. While major studios hire writers to basically write fanfiction for their IPs, except they know how to write and format correctly. The other 10% are the fanfic authors that turn their works into their own books ala 50 Shades of Grey.

After getting high on Star Wars kick I started to work on a fic about an Imperial factory worker.

I'm toying with a few other scripts in my head. Nothing major, just small scale stories set in the SW universe, most of which might as well be canon.
