Old thread: >>1961504

I'm probably going to get shit on for my taste but does anyone know any good naruto fanfics with yuri in it that is of a decent length? Most of the good ones I've found were put on hiatus or abandoned like 3 years ago.
>>2005008
Nothing I can help with, I do follow some Naruto stories but it's more because I like the author style than anything.
Why is there a new thread? Why are you people posting in this one when the old one isn't even halfway down the catalog?
>>2005014
are any of them yuri?

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3312763/1/My-Name-Is-Haruno-Sakura
(Sakura/Ino AU, incomplete, hasn't updated in years)
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5316196/1/Loyalty
Haven't read this yet, but apparently the author posted on /u/ that it'll eventually feature Sakura/Ino.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5193644/1/Time-Braid
Probably the best example of a groundhog-day style fic. (Warning: Sakura is bi in this, do NOT read if you dislike het)
>>2005571
thanks, the first and second one seem kind of cool, and the third one might be worthy of attention at a later date.

holy crap that first one so far is kind of depressing though.

Does anyone here write oddly-specific semicrack Touhou?
The Touhou thread's got me in a Yorihime/Sagume mood but I don't know if there's any active writefags there.
>>2006106
I'm writing something, but I realized the plot is almost exactly the same as Finer Things in Life, so maybe I won't publish it.
>>2006193
Well Onee-sama just post it anyways, I need more stuff to read.
>>2006247
I don't know, the plot, story progression, and ending are so similar I'll probably get crucified if I upload it. The only difference is how explicit the sex is.
>>2006193
You mean the story that was like 500 words?
>>2006302
It's fine if you get crucified though, its not like anyone really knows who you are.
>>2006919
More like nobody even remembers Finer Things.
>>2007053
Oeuf Trick lurks /u/. For all you know she might be the one egging you on. Finer Things is like a thousand words. If yours is longer just post it brej.
Overlady updated if anyone here still cares. Louise has taken a pretty big leap downward on the slippery slope and seems to at least having accepted that she's attracted toHenrietteand there was also some funny sapphic rumors about her mother being tossed around.
Have the forum link cus I don't think the ffnet copy gets updated till wednesday.

This was the first fanfic I ever read. It's not the best, and there's a lot more het than I would like, but it still holds a special place in my heart.
>>2005684
>I tried so hard, but I just couldn't handle dragon Naruto.
Naruto's barely a side character in the story though. It's Sakura-centered with Hinata as the main secondary character. Dragon Naruto doesn't show up until you're way late in, and barely does anything.
>>2007505
>not the best
Still in my top ten of fanfics (just not for /u/ reasons).
Iirc there's also a bit of Sakura×Ino & Sakura×Anko.
>>2007236
Wow Yukari's past was darker than I expected...
>>2007505
It's time for someone to make up for the lack of good yuri naruto fics. I think I am going to give it a go myself, if nothing else it will stave off some of this boredom I have. I'll post the first chapter once I finish it. Give me all your criticism anons, I'm going to need it.
>>2007689
You're doing God's work anon
>>2007689
I'll critique it when it's here!
Any chance for finding a beta through this place?
>>2007716
What's your fandom?
>>2007720
Fate/kaleid
Well Anons, here is the first chapter of what will hopefully become something not terrible. I know SI with OC can become rather bad fast, but with your help I hope to make this good, and decently long.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11839009/1/Rebirth-Cursed
>>2007783
Also, the main pairing I have in mind is my SI oc with Hinata. Might have some others too, but that's the eventual end game I'm shooting for.
>>2007783
>as the last three bodies I'd had were all male, as I had been originally
Into the trash it goes
>>2007785
Thanks for your rather well thought out "critique" onee-sama.
>>2007787
It wasn't meant as critique, it was meant to point out that this is not yuri, so why are you posting it here?
It's not even a case of guy wanting to become a woman or whatever, literally just a guy now randomly inhabiting a female body. Not even SJWs would call this person a woman.
>>2007537
The last few chapters were a bit too much of a mood whiplash for me, going from sexy fluffy fun times to mind rape torture like that. I'm not sure why it was even necessary, since Sauske had an army of interdimensional warriors to fight with.
>>2007791
I know it wasn't meant as a critique, I was being sarcastic. Plus, it is still technically yuri seeing as the body itself is female. I intend for the character to gradually settle into his new life as a woman similar to how a trans m to f would.
>>2007783
>SI with OC
Sorry sis, I know first hand how paperthin the fragil heart of a writer can be but into the trash it goes
>>2007805
I am anything but fragile onee-chan.
>>2007783
I gave it a skim but unfortunately I don't think the concept would be well received here. The writing itself also has some faults, such as noticeable grammatical errors, and I found it hard to connect to the main character.
>>2007809
Alright, thanks for your comments.
>>2007792
>I'm not sure why it was even necessary
With great power comes greater adversaries.
>>2007820
Right, but the whole mindrape/mind break shit at the very end. There was no need for all that.
>>2007802
>I intend for the character to gradually settle into his new life as a woman similar to how a trans m to f would.
That's the exact opposite of what a trans m to f would feel though. Trans women are born male, but feel like they're in the wrong body, so they choose to switch to a female body. They don't gradually settle into being women so much as they feel they were already women in a man's body. Your OC sounds more like s/he just doesn't care about his/her gender, which would make them more non-binary than transexual. Unless you are an mtf, I suggest cutting that part out and just making her a genderswap SI, otherwise you're going to have a very unrealistic depiction of an mtf.
>>2007783
the story has been deleted?
>>2007846
I'm taking into account what the person before you wrote and gunna rewrite it as the genderswapped SI, because in all honesty I don't want to get into the semantics of the lgbqt stuff. I'll repost it when I fix it up some.
>>2007846
Also, some of the elements I was trying to write into it didn't incorporate too well. It'll probably be back up within the next day or so.
Any recommendations based on literary skills? Would love to read some fics of what you guys consider well written, prefferable with a western theme/pairing not anime or manga.
Also, what are some clichés or tropes you absolutely hate in fanfiction?
>>2007912
>Also, what are some clichés or tropes you absolutely hate in fanfiction?
UST and everything related to it. When the two leads have a pointless argument, or one of them walks in at the wrong time and misunderstands something, or anything else where the author creates an unrealistic speed bump in the relationship just to add drama to an otherwise light and fluffy love story.
>>2007912
Modern setting that depowers the characters.
>>2007912
Random rape.
Mustache-twirling villains.
Mustache-twirling villains raping mc's love interest out of nowhere.
Boyfriend out of nowhere.
Drama because "we must have big wordcount!"
Brainwashing.
And, I shit you not, I read a fic where the MC's love interest was stroggified and brainwashed and pitted against the MC. And while that may sound awesome to some people, it was decidedly not, and I hate that shit.
>>2007912

Hope you like Frozen, sis. There are a few that I would consider good, however some stand out as exceptional:

any good fallout yuri fics?

Holy crap Onee-chan, that was pretty damn good.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/864779/chapters/1658749
Converting this to epub, I'm just over 100 pages in. And I'm loving it. So I thought I recommend it.
Everytime Vocaloid is mentioned, my heart aches with the On&on wound.
At least Inter Nos of Mai-Hime hasn't died, even if it took a 1.5 year hiatus until several months ago.
>>2008339
I fucking hate bbc's Sherlock though, I'm not sure making them women would make any difference.
>>2008356
This has very little to do with the BBC Sherlock. Basically nothing. So try it. Or don't. I don't care.
>>2008358
>Sherlock (TV)
Generally implies that's what they based their characterisation on. If the author has chosen not to emulate that uniquely obnoxious Sherlock I'll probably check it out.
>>2008339
There's high concept, and then there's turning Moffat's Sherlock and John into lesbians and putting them in World War Two.
>>2008364
You'll have to find out, then. Sherlock's always a little obnoxious. So is this one, but not annoying as BBC. But that's my opinion, which doesn't mean much. Though I disliked BBC-S, too. More so later than earlier, though.
>>2008383
I'll check it out then. I did watch the Christmas episode and enjoyed it, so it's possible it's just something about 21st century Sherlock that's so detestable.Though I adore Elementary even when I want to strangle its Sherlock.Thanks anon!
>>2008387
>so it's possible it's just something about 21st century Sherlock that's so detestable.
I think it's more that the BBC Sherlock was too childish in many of his actions and reactions. I found the "reveal" of how after his death to be insulting.
>>2008387
Elementary is so much better than Sherlock, if only because Holmes isn't a total dick. He's not exactly well adjusted, but not a complete dick either.
Also, Watson's really hot.
>>2008339

>I wish I could write.
step 1: write
>>2008210
Define good.
Also for which fallout?
Is there any fandom which is as disproportionately dominated by a particular ship as Mai Hime is? I want to read about anyone other than ShizNat.
>>2008578
>wanting to ready anything but ShizNat
>>2008579
I grew out of my teen angst phase like 6 years ago.
>>2008578
LoK is 5:1 Korrasami to Makkora in terms of most popular ships on AO3.
>>2008589
The entire category is diluted with other ships though. Even other MH ships are generally Shizuru/someone else or Natsuki/someone else.
>>2008592
Anon only asked for domination by a particular ship.
>>2008210
fallout 4
>>2008339
will i have to know anything about sherlock to be able to read it cause it sounds interesting
>>2008578
There are a lot of series with only two main characters to ship, like Rizzoli & Isles (hence the name). Beyond that, I know that Once Upon a Time is almost exclusively Swan Queen, at least as far as the yuri goes (there's also a lot of Captain Swan, but that's not lesbian, so nobody cares about that).
>>2008558
No need to force yourself if you think longer fics aren't your thing.
One shots, or even two/three parters are just as good and certainly a lot less pressure on the writer too.
>>2008600
That's not even good on a fanfic level.
>>2008619
It's better for the reader too. I've learned to never get started reading an unfinished longer fic simply because the author will drop it by the time I've become really invested in it. A concise short story is better than a lengthy saga that just goes on and on because the writer comes up with shit along the way.
>>2008822
Depends. There're many fics that are so excellent that I never regretted reading them, even if they broke my heart by staying unfinished forever.
As a general rule, I only don't read fics that haven't updated in 2 years (unless heavily reccommended by other people or if the number of favourites is outstanding). Otherwise I give all on-going fics a chance.
The thing about reading on-going/hiatus fics is that you have the chance to encourage the author to finish it. I have helped resurrected a handful of fics just by a simple "Hey, how are you? I love xxx and hadn't seen it updated for a while. Hope everything is ok." A little bit goes a long way.
>>2008898
I've actually seen that exact same thing happen but the fic died again after a single chapter on both occasions. On one occasion I was acting as the beta for that fic.
>>2008578
Almost all of KnM is ChikaneHimeko. Understandable since they have no competition even within the anime.
Nanofate is abundant in MSLN, but certainly is nowhere near as dominating as Shiznat. Yuuno poses a formidable threat to Fate, whereas Shizuru squashes Takeda out of existence.
>>2008822
If I had a choice, I obviously prefer long stories. I wouldn't be reading fanfics in the first place if I didn't love the characters enough to want to read about them doing all kinds of weird stuff.
But long stories are almost never planned out fully and any writer could potentially lose interest/passion half way or just suddenly don't have the free time to continue consistently.
I think two or three parters are the perfect compromise. It allows you to plan out the whole thing like you would with a one shot but also gives readers the opportunity to have some level of anticipation for the next chapter
>>2009000
I wish fanfic writers wrote long stories beforehand, complete, and upload them incrementally over a schedule. Maybe with some minor edits as time goes on. This would solve so many pacing issues.
>>2009054
I have seen that I needed to do that a while ago, then tried to write the story and just couldn't get how to write a story. Then I [boatload of excuses] and now it's two years later. And I feel like shit for not getting that story started again. Fucking fuck.
>>2009054
I think that's just asking way too much out of something that's not even considered a real hobby for most people.
I do really admire those who can keep it up though. A certain RWBY story was apparently written by someone in the military going through training and the little tidbits of author's notes he dropped were quite interesting to read on their own.
>>2008339
I was a little skeptical, but that's actually really good. I love it when fanfic writers do honest-to-god research and geek out about it in the notes.
>>2008602
You may be a little confused as to why you should care about Molly and Sally or why the writer keeps talking about Sherlock's jacket, but the meat of the story should be enjoyable without having seen the show.
>>2009197
I've gotten an author to add a bit to a fic once with a bit of constructive criticism on one of their chapters that was too close to just being a retelling of that particular part of the show the fic was based on instead of being it's own thing with the AU the fic had settled in.
Felt fantastic.
>>2009054
That's how I always write. I feel better about it that way.
However, because I follow that philosophy I've never published something longer than 35k and haven't put anything out in a year. I finished a NanoFate one shot but it's shit and I refuse to post it until it's fixed up a bit.

Both from people on /u/ and in general.
>>2009414
The 100, but now is going to start dying becausedead character
Once Upon A Time has a solid output and next month is going to get, i assume, some extra content with an actual canon couple...maybe.
But new-new is probably Supergirl, the show is producing a considerable amount of new content, Kara/Cat mostly.
>>2009054
That's what I do, but I've only published 1 story over 30k words... It was 200k.
>>2009423
Symphogear also has some /m/ posters producing content, though there is an overlap between them and /u/ posters. Also the fact that a good, I want to say 50% of the content is more /d/ than /u/.

>>2010532
I've never watched OUAT because it looks shit, but Mulan is obviously best Disney girl so it's clearly at least 50% good taste.
>>2010542
Mulan's a side character that is consistently missing, despite being around since the second season.
>>2010553
Yeah but now there is finally something interesting about Mulan they will keep her around for fanservice. They never introduce lesbian couples without shamelessly pandering to the "omg girls are kissing" demographic which the franchise obviously need because there wasn't a cute girl in sight "Cough Emma/snow/the queen/Belle etc etc".
Really don't think the fairy tale setting will ever pull in as many straight male viewers as they want.
Not that I mind yuri in any form but c'mon, the opportunity to flesh out Ruby's char is so fucking long overdue. Really hope this isn't just an easy way of putting her into the "lesbian is my only characteristic" trope to avoid having to give her more personality.
>>2010571
I'd be happy enough to see her wearing more flannel.
>>2010542
Ruby is also pretty based, so in a never seen before feat of actual genious the retards at the helm of OuaT decided that Mulan/Ruby was going to be their gay couple...broken clock and all that.
>>2009418
>T100 will start dying off

Would love to read some Vocaloid with some fantasy elements, urban or medieval, if you're interested.
>>2010532
I'm currently reading an article about The 100 regarding this issue. Never watched the show but apparently people are pissed at not only what happened and how it happened, but also at the way the members of the production team toyed with the fans.
What a shitstorm
>>2010608
What kind of fantasy/medieval are you thinking about?
>>2010609
Personally, I'm a big fan of fantasy/supernatural elements being present in a story but implemented in a very grounded and non-flashy way. That means no wizards throwing building sized fireballs at each other. No magical untouchable ninjas taking on entire mobs.
If there's a fight then even the victor should leave with a few wounds, and if you're gonna break all laws of physics by merely chanting a few words, then the entire setting needs to have the proper world building to accommodate the existence of such convenience.
>>2010617
Like low fantasy? Cliche example, but something like Game of Thrones? What stories do you like that implement this level of fantasy?
>>2010623
Yea, I think early GoT is a great example of that. Always liked this type of low fantasy stories, especially in contemporary or urban like settings. I actually wrote and uploaded something resembling the latter in an old fandom, but didnt continue out of laziness.
>>2010632
Sounds intriguing. If you don't mind, what's the fandom? Also, what Vocaloid pairings do you ship?
>>2010634
Something from 2009/2010. Not actually that old I guess.
>>2010608
Yeah,killing lesbian charactershappens literally all the time, heck next week when The Vampire Diaries comes back they aregoing to kill the lesbian vampires.
The real issue here than even mainstream media caught on was that the production team pretty much inflated the romance between Clarke and Lexa in social media knowing thatshe was going to dieand they never missed a chance to call themselves ''progressive'' while doing it.
Its hilarious they didn't see this coming.
>>2010672
I only started following what was going on in the last month, but truly an unprecedented mess. They'd taken the fans' typical expectation of dead lesbian and kept on feeding the reverse, getting them to promote their tiny little show on social media and increase views on official viewing channels, then hyped the death episode as a mustwatch and with them finally getting properly together after a whole year. Yikes.
>2007912
I assume you've read Telanu's Truth and Measure and D. Geheimnis's Aucune Defense Pour Toi? Actually, there are so many other good ones, some even better from a strictly literary PoV, I just can't remember them.
>>2010696
Yeah i started hearing about the 100 thanks to some fic author I'd been keeping an eye on getting into the show like a month or two before the recent asshattery. Kinda glad I didn't even decide to waste one of my weekends on it.
>>2010707
The show is good, though, to the point where I can say safely say that, however ugly and huge it was, this shitstorm about Lexa's death was the very first time it objectively fucked up with no hope of dodging/fixing.
Maybe this particular storyline is over and even retroactively tainted by its shitty conclusion, but there are enough other plots that the show itself is not completely ruined.
I wouldn't watch it by any official means and give it ratings and notoriety, but that's what torrents are for.
>>2010723
Ehhh. Even before the death, the Pike and Arkadia situation was a mess. And now they'll try to redeem it and Bellamy, who's a straight up murderer. The scifi part isn't good enough to hold it together and actually, looked as a whole, the first season was weak, and this season was being objectively panned by critics outside of what was happening with Lexa because its secret surprise strength was the anthropological curiosity surrounding the Grounders. That's what gave it the real kick in season 2, but they seem to have decided to go against that.
>>2010517
I've read a few that were okay, but nothing mind blowing. There is a ridiculous amount of futa with this series for some reason.
>>2010672
I've read somewhere that the writers believed they could get away with it because of how good they did. Top kek.

You're probably not looking anymore but this might be of interest to you or anyone else.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10723816/1/Uzumaki-Naruko-To-the-Victor-the-Spoils-V2
Naruko/Harem(mostly girls her age) AU, pretty decent and kind of long. The romance isn't the focus most of the time though there may be a few chapters devoted to it that might crossover with Naruko's ninjer training.
The only downside is that while it gets updated, occasionally, they are months apart.
>>2010765
There's a bizarre amount of omegaverse fic in this fandom for no readily apparent reason.

>>2011317
I support this.
What do anons here think about the use of similes and metaphores in sex scenes? Coming up with those is a big part of the fun in writing for me, but when it comes to their use in porn, they tend to sound horribly corny and banal. If I leave them out I'm only really left with the option of using almost technical terms or lazy, ineffective euphenisms. Calling things as they are can be awfully blunt and feel out place with the generally lighthearted tone I'm going for and euphenisms are just not my thing. I really want to call a big pair of tits a dairy farm. It makes me laugh but it looks horribly corny on paper. What do my fellow anons think about this?
>>2011738
Eh, heavily depends, but usually just no. Especially something like you gave as an example.
It's also pretty bad to have too many euphemisms and metaphors in the story in general. Been reading a pretty good story recently, which got really...tiring in its use of them. Felt really sad to have a nice plot and fun characters being diminished by something like that.
>>2011741
Makes sense. Usually I go by what I consider funny and when I edit it later I only rarely take things out. With sex scenes the situation is completely different and I'm trying to get used to it.
>>2011742
As long as it's a funny, lighthearted story, fun euphemisms are fine. If serious, then not, obviously. Thinking about it, I'd find them crude and inappropriate in sex scenes.
>>2011738
>sex scenes
are pretty boring to be honest, because there's only so many times you can read through them and not get bored.
Unless it's some unusual, word garden crap, I don't bother and skip/skim.
>>2011748
They're awfully formulaic and stretched out a lot of the time. Kind of like the majority of fight scenes. Anything more than one doesn't make sense, but I'd still leave that single one in most of the time.

>What do anons here think about the use of similes and metaphores in sex scenes
That's probably the main thing that makes me not wanna ready them.
Just get the sexy started, get the kissing and groping out of the way, then skip to the morning after. Not that interested in reading another deranged attempt at turning the female anatomy into an assortment of flowers and natural wonders.
On the other hand, actually just making it as explicit and raw as possible can be quite refreshing.
>>2011738
>I really want to call a big pair of tits a dairy farm.
No, no, no, no. Just no. If you have to write it that way, just skip the scene.
>>2011738
Mollusks are fine and will make you fanfic an international hit, trust me my name is Nasu.
>>2011749
It sounds cheesy, but the only time I like and will read sex scenes is when the writer focuses more on the characters and their feelings than the technical part. I don't mean, skip the mechanics altogether, but you know, throw in dialogue, if it's playful and lighthearted, then do that, if it's desperate and needy, then go with that.
Don't ever use dairy farm, good god. Also, I haaaate when a character screams and the writing uses all caps for it.
>>2012819
>focuses more on the characters and their feelings
This so much. For example in that story that other anon posted in >>2008046 I loved that part where Luka sticks her fingers into Miku's mouth. The act itself was certainly hot, but the line about Miku wanting to put on a good show for Luka was my favorite.
>>2012819
>when a character screams and the writing uses all caps
Oh dear, I hate when the writer insists on using "hnh"s and other dumb sounding onomatopoeias in every other sentence.
>>2012819
>It sounds cheesy
Not cheesy at all. It's how it should be.
Once I read a fic where the act itself was compared to the experience of dancing by one of the characters, which I think was pretty creative. Writers should strive to amuse the audience in some way, I think.
Warmth updated again, finally.Things going fairly good, surprisingly.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6514752/63/Warmth
So anyone got any /u/ fics that are in the "what the fuck am I reading" sort of tier? Cus I got a teen titans fic that is pretty solidly in there for those who don't, and probably those who do, have a lactation fetish.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2626002/1/Grebnaxlorg
Anyone have any Emma Frost/Kitty Pride or Jean Grey/Kitty stories or Storm fics?
>>2013029
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11090990/1/
Anybody got any good Xena Warrior Princess fanfics? Yeah I know it's a TV show but I didn't know where else to go to try and find some good stuff
>>2013547
Most of the good fanfics were published as original fiction. I recall a good quirky pirate one, but I have no idea where to find it.
My favourite substitution for vagina is pleasure wound.
>>2013569
I've always been cool with just the word "sex".
>>2013569
I favor gaping gash myself.
>>2013569
Throbbing flower is more my taste.
>there are dozens of genderswap One Direction f/f fics on AO3
I don't understand. Why even?
>>2013826
you saying thats a bad thing?
>>2014118
That sounds horrifying, yes
>>2013826
I think they may be baby lesbians who started to figure out their sexuality while still in their One Direction phase and didn't want to leave their comfort zone.
>>2013569
I've seen someone use "lady crevasse" and I laughed for like half an hour.
>>2014118
Well yeah...theres like a million girls groups around if you are into rpfics...why would you even need to genderbend One Direction?
>>2013569
I've read about "swollen petals" and "nether lips"... Ugh. Using labia, clit, "inside", cunt, sex are all fine imo.
>>2014484
Anon don't you know? Everyone is serious on 4chan.
>>2014484
In the effort to "be unique", lots of authors go a LONG way. I believe it.
>>2014372
i assumed that as long as its yuri people wouldnt care
>>2015042
rpfics are this in weird zone that don't attract a lot of people because it's real people. The ones that are attracted are probably borderline into some things that could count them as insane.
>>2015042
To me >>2013826 bothers me on two levels.
First, if it's based off of dudes, I just can't see it as yuri. I don't care how many pussies and tits you graft on them. It's kinda weird because while I'm not exactly a fan of trans stuff, I'm actually willing to give that a chance if it otherwise interests - but just random gender bending is no go.
Second, I kinda find RPfics creepy in the first place. Part of that is from being somewhat involved in fandoms that took shipping actors/musicians way too far and seemed to take it really seriously despite how obviously far-fetched to impossible the prospect actually is, and just generally realizing how fucking terrified of/disgusted by fans I would be if I was famous and attractive.
Also gender bending actual people rather than fictional characters just adds another level of odd and off-putting.
>>2015044
I don't disagree, but is it that different than slash fics in general involving live action characters.
The characters themselves might be fictional, but the actors portraying them are very much real, and every inch of that person is just as important to the character as the writings in the show
>>2015060
I disagree. You could argue their superficial, external qualities like looks, voice, etc are important for sure. Although even then I challenge that this isn't always the case, for example as regards to on-screen adaptions with an active fic-writing community from before said adaptions. But real person shippers and related communities rather seem to spend most of their focus on rumored interpersonal relationships.
Besides, the way I see it, if a character's story takes a bad turn, there's always incompetent writers or dastardly sponsors to blame, faceless entities you don't care about to dull the pain. But if you put people on a pedestal the way we do characters, they will always let you down on their own.
>>2015060
>The characters themselves might be fictional, but the actors portraying them are very much real, and every inch of that person is just as important to the character as the writings in the show
That smacks of not being able to separate reality from fantasy/fiction in regards to live action.
>>2015106
Shipping real people, as the characters they portray or themselves, screams of insanity to me either way.
Maybe some day, there will be a legitimately interesting and good looking couple on screen I could get invested in, but so far nothing has come close. I'm probably just being a judgemental psycho when it comes to appearances though.
>>2015222
Maybe a simple one shot to test the waters. For Vocaloid, maybe Falling, Crumbling
For other fandoms, nothing rings a bell at the moment.
>>2015301
>For other fandoms
Really depends on the fandom.
>>2015222
Crazy Little Things, of course. Sweetness overload, if someone can get Luna right.
so how do you guys feel abouy rp fics in general?
As long as I don't know anything about them, and the story is good, I'd be interested. But the two haven't met, yet.
In all, I'm not so much against it, as I am...let's say confused about AU (which RPF usually is). I know it works, having read 2 or 3 great ones, but I still don't understand the point. Really only when everyone is OOC, but that is most of the time. I just don't get why it isn't an original work, then.
>>2016721
>I just don't get why it isn't an original work
Because no one would read it.
>>2016781
If it's shit, sure. If it's good....
The Red Button updated. It's an Inside Out fic for those who don't know it.

im having such a hard time reading fan fic lately
>>2019517
I go through periods like that too. Voracious fanfic reading is like recurring mono for me.
Does anyone have any of Tsuyazakura Kouyuki's kannazuki no Mike firs? I'm looking for Lovers Eternal, an amazingly detailed and well written fix from him but it looks like the author deleted all his works.
>>2019638
>amazingly detailed and well written
>>2019921
Yes
>>2019921
Some people love the style.I can't fault them I do too
>>2020066
>Good for you, but for every person who does, there are many more who don't.
That can be said for any style though.
>>2020068
>Forgot to remove my fucking name
just kill me senpai
Still looking for Lovers Eternal fanfic if anyone have it saved.
>>2019638
I have Lovers Eternal and The Little Mermaid. But they're saved on a USB that I left at another place (where I won't visit until next month), so I can't give you right now.
Hopefully other anons can help you. If not, let's hope I remember to upload.
>>2019638
Found this link which has Lovers Eternal http://www.mediafire.com/download/8a8mi375llya7e6/Tsuyazakura+Kouyuki+archive.zip
Might be purple prose but who the fuck cares? It's fanfiction.
Tsuyazakura Kouyuki is not god-tier among fanfic writers or anything, but I'd say they're decent-to-good tier.
The purple rose in their fics is not a problem in itself, since they're surprisingly readable. Neither are the plot, since they're moderately interesting. It's that the plot had fallen short of the glorifying level of the proses enough times, that made their fics feel a bit flowery without substance. Nevertheless, the stories still managed to be coherent, the pretentiousness never reaches grating level (inducing an eye-rolling here and there, at most), and there were many genuinely beautiful parts.
With how little KnM fics there are, having TK's level of writing grace the fandom is a big blessing, IMO. Looking at, say, the Strawberry Panic fandom for comparison, it's kinda miserable that there's no fics as good as TK's.
>>2020066
>stop liking what I don't like
>>2020117
>Strawberry Panic fandom for comparison, it's kinda miserable that there's no fics as good as TK's
That would imply SP! has any good fics at all.I still have the FF page bookmarked but fuck me if there's been nothing good for what might be years at this point.
>>2020593
Most series didn't survive the passage of time without new content.RIP marimite
>>2020117
>The purple prose
I think his fics are decent enough, but for some reason I could never get into them . I didn't know back in the day what "purple prose" was but I always found his writing a little extravagant and distracting.
>>2020117
I don't get why everybody rushes to disavow TK's writing, so many years after the fact. It's definitely purple prose at its floweriest. But LE was THE KnM fic at the time. It was a melodramatic ridiculously theatrical love story and it did that well.
And let's be real here, KnM itself wasn't exactly a shining paragon of excellent storytelling.
>>2020765
The KnM anime was fine. You can pick out certain elements of the anime you didn't like, everyone has those, but I had no problem with the way the story was presented. It didn't break new boundaries, but did its job with the material given. From start to finish, I wouldn't re-arrange any scene or episode.
In retrospect, a relationship focused story with an actual plot in the background is as typical as romance story goes. But in the realm of yuri, it's still one of very, very few that dared to venture into that territory.
Were any of yo/u/ embarrassed to write your first sex scene? I'd like to write and draw some yuri someday soon, but I'm trying to get over my embarrassment to practice.
>>2021701
If you're embarrassed to write it, don't write it. Just write what you like and what you know.
>>2021701
Fade to black is your friend.
>>2021701
I used to be embarrassed. After the first few though it gets easier.
Any good Portal stories?
>>2021775
Are AUs acceptable or no?
Also I think I know of a few in general, but I'd need to dig em up again. It kinda sucks doing this because nobody can tag worth a fuck on ffnet
>>2021779
>AU
As long as they aren't that much OoC
>>2021775
heres one
https://m.fanfiction.net/s/7474236/1/Strange-Bedfellows
>>2021881
I think this is my favourite by that author personally
https://m.fanfiction.net/s/7619204/1/Miss-Johnson-s-Toys
>>2021701
Nope. I wrote a ten thousand word Miku/Luka fuck fic with an added foot massage/masturbation scene to troll the flamboyantly gay professor of one of my friend's classes in a week with zero hesitation. Printed it out with a nice cover and made sure the guy read it. The troll didn't really work since he liked it.
>>2022570
Pretty forward of you Olivia, did she give you top marks?
>>2022572
Nah, wasn't even my class. My friend who delivered the goods got called in to a private meeting and received a stern talking to about how he "shouldn't make the gay professor read the gay books" or something. Good times for everyone except my friend.
No delicious /u/ ending here, friend. But maybe the idea for my next schlickstory...
>>2022559
Premise sounds fucking stupid.
>>2022647
I thought so too, but I just finished it and it was pretty funny. Light on the actual relationship tho.
>>2022559
Wow that was uncomfortable.
>>2022559
too bad the author hasnt updated in over a year though
>>2022777
>So does Portal's.
Apples and oranges.
>I think all good Portal fic should make you feel at least a little uncomfortable, considering the tone of the game.
There are different ways of feeling uncomfortable. This is not a "good" one.
OPINIONS, EY!
>>2022822
i actually want there to be more yuri of portal
>>2023317
It's a lost battle ever since half the fucking fandom latched onto goddamn wheatley despite the ending of Portal 2 being rather perfect to set up a deeper relationship between the two. Also so many motherfuckers just make Chell speak way too fucking soon in their fics, or in general make her speak which really annoys me. Like one really bad one that i recall was GLaDOS denying Chell an orgasm until she asked for it when the game is pretty fucking explicit about Chell being inhumanly tenacious.Sorta on the topic of some of the previous fics listed. I'm starting to really get into the idea that Chell is just some huge robosexual masochist who gets off on being made to do testing and "testing".
>>2023317
I know this won't help you, but I am still working on a story. Tumblr blogposting ahead: Because [insert a million pathetic excuses], I haven't touched an open office doc in over 2 years, despite how shit I feel about it, but I AM going to write.
A Portal fic, among other things. I even have the first few, to a few dozen pages of several different things, but, again, excuses.
Sage, because pretty much pointless post, in the end...
http://pastebin.com/7ARXrLeD
http://archiveofourown.org/works/6301573
Here's something I wrote. I didn't think about continuing it at first but I'm out of ideas for new fics and I feel like writing more. Beating a writer's block that lasted for five years feels incredible.
>>2022822
I felt pretty good.
>>2023424
That was wonderful.
>>2023424
You should write more, anon.
>>2024169
I'd be fine with simple relationship tags on all the stories. If I'm looking for f/f Arrow stories, there's only like 5 women in the cast to pick from, so I'm not losing much if I have to search for Sara/Laurel and Felicity/Thea separately. As long as I can find them, I'm golden. But it seems like nobody ever bothers to add the tags to their stories, and it's almost impossible to find them in a sea of Oliver/Felicity shit. I don' even bother going there any more, it's so hard to find anything decent.
> Girl of Steel http://archiveofourown.org/works/3957214
Just found this while looking for something new to read. It's over 250k words in under a year with only 85 kudos, which means it's either utter garbage, or the writer transferred it from somewhere else. Anyone read it before?
>>2024614
No idea, but I will definitely find out later in the week.
>>2024614
>Western series
>Lemon
>Harems
>Yuri
pass...
>>2024614
it was published last may, kinda weird that such a huge fic has no attention. Though it's barebones fandom tags may have something to do with it.
>>2024673
I'm going to give it a kudos. Even if it turns out to suck, I hate the idea of a guy writing over 250,000 words and so few people even bothering to tell him "good job".
>>2024614
I think I read that last year when there were ~30 chapters and I enjoyed it.
>>2011174
I'd already read that one.
>>2008339
Anon, I just finished this and it was amazing. WWII lesbian Sherlock and Watson turns out to be a surprisingly good idea.
How the hell does a mostly text-website like AO3 burn through $100k in less than a year?
Why the fuck do wannabe writers keep name-dropping their shitty favourite flavour-of-the-month songs and bands and games and books and authors and films in middle of their stories? Can't they feel the cringe nor see how it only creates disconnect from the narration and immersion or how it only displays their own weak powerlevel instead?
And another issue:
>first chapter sets up two characters to meet and ends on the handshake as a sort of a blend of a soft cliffhanger and a minor pay-off
>second chapter begins with a timeskip and a few sentences summarising their interaction and subsequent events
>story keeps referring to the first meeting in following chapters for contrast and comparison
And these are just some of the things.
>>2026393
>Can't they feel the cringe
People who feel the cringe have a lot of issues writing at all.
>>2026393
It's fanfiction. There are good fic-writers out there, but most of them just want to get an idea out of their head and onto paper. Mostly without understanding story structure and world building (not necessarily because of being incompetent, but rather lack of interest of investing time to find out proper).
Some of those ideas warrant a cry for "why isn't this thought out more", whereas the majority is just plain bad.
All in all, people do this in their free time, for free, for fun.
I don't entirely understand the problem with the other issue.
>>2026394
Maybe cringe wasn't the best word to have been used there. Dissonance perhaps?
They must read the text before posting it, don't they? Shouldn't it be apparent how jarring naming brands is without proper context. It can be done, but it takes a certain level of finesse, the lack of which is again very obvious. Even to unfeeling beasts incapable of shame and regret.
It seems such a simple and an elementary thing to recognise and avoid. That's why it's way more of an eyesore than any rookie mistakes in proper structure or world-building. Those are more easily forgiven due to the reasons >>2026395 mentioned.
As for the other thing, the first chapter works largely due to the promise of their coming interaction. This is what hooks the reader. Then the second one completely fails to deliver that yet the story goes on to play and build off of it as if it had. This leaves the reader bewildered and feeling as if they aren't on the same page with the characters and are left trailing behind them for no raisin.
It seems so bizarre to see something set up nicely, then not acutally followed-through but still continued as if it had been.
>>2026408
I'd wager a guess and say that many, if not most fanfic writers are either underage, or socially awkward. Both of these making for a lack of social awareness, meaning they pick up things as they see them and try to fit them in their story. The naming things from real life is probably because "I need them to visit a pizza place. Let's have them go to [whatever the writer knows]". Or, for songs and such, a simple line of lyric/text from book or whatever "kinda fits" right then and there. Has some resemblance of what the writer is thinking at that moment or somesuch.
If I'm wrong, I apologize to the fanfic community. Hawhaw.
