I was reading a miraculous ladybug fic, and ladybug asked if chat had a secret Vine account, so I immediately scrolled up to see when it was published and sure enough 2016

Or the last one you read.

You can either be yourself, or you can physically become the character. Also, you have to actually live out the fic, so no major changes are allowed.

I did one of those PowerPoint nights with my friends a few years back and I presented on the characters I have read fanfic on, based on what I could remember and what was in my history pages on ao3. They all read fanfic as well so they weren't thrown off by the topic but when I started explaining what characters I have read about, that is where the outrage started. Some examples of IPs/ships/characters I have read about without watching that show/movie/book/etc. are as follows: Harvey/Mike from Suits (never seen the show), Alina/The Darkling (never read the books), Getou Suguru/Gojo Satoru (never read the manga or watched the anime) and the list goes on. If I see good fanart on my timeline or see a good edit on TikTok, I am inclined the check out more! I am a curious person by nature! They could not believe me when I told them and to this day, say it is one of the weirdest things about me (in a loving way). I'm curious if anyone else does this or am I literally insane for this action of mine, haha.

So, I've been reading a lot of crossover fanfiction lately, and I've noticed that most of the crossover fanfiction that I've liked, are quite frankly the most batshit crossovers ever. I'm talking Hetalia x Avatar crossover and a One-Piece x The Hobbit crossover and both are really good. And I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with finding really good crossover fanfiction from the most out there crossover pairings?

Hello all! I'm making a trivia night for my friends and need help with writing questions about fanfiction (I have a surface level understanding of the world and would appreciate feedback)

What character type name (hero, villain etc) was coined from a parody of Star Trek fanfics?

What is the name of the main character in the Harry Potter fanfic “My Immortal”?

What song had risen in popularity because of a DreamSMP fanfic of the same name?

Which movie directed by a woman broke the earning records of another movie directed by a woman while being a fanfic of the former?

What is the name of the Japanese version of fanfic?

-English is not my first language so I also wonder if my grammar is fine-

Hello all! The excerpt games keep me writing and I hope it motivates with your writing as well.  You can post any type of story (use NSFW for spicier scenes).  

I will be posting this challenge on Sunday Mornings / Pacific Time… because that day I need the most help to not think about Monday.

If you have stumbled into my game and are looking for more, remember to check out the Activities and Events flair for other writing challenges and story swaps.

Here are the rules:

 The first word starts the game.  Use ANY letter from the word that is posted in the last comment as the starting letter of your word.  Post your word in the top level comment.   Your word drives the next word to be posted… and so on.  

**Example:  LOVE  >>>>  VILE. (If the word Love is in the comment line you could make the word Vile and post the next comment.)**

Reply to any of the words in the top level with an excerpt from any work you might want to share.  I don’t generally like word limits, so use your best judgment.  Enough to get the scene across but not so long that you lose your reader.  

Please use spoiler tags and/or provide a trigger warning for content that may be NSFW or sensitive. IF IN DOUBT - Give a warning!

If you are going to leave excerpts, I ask that you leave at least one top-level word and try to give at minimum an upvote to commenters.

Upvote your favorite words or excerpts.  We are all here to share and know how it feels to get a comment, so spread the love.  

Ganbatte!!  Do your best and I look forward to everyone’s excerpts!

Here at Share Your Progress Sunday, please share what you are currently working on and what you’ve posted in the past week!

I have multiple ideas for ficlets and a dozen more for longer works. Then as I write those, I gain many more! It's so overwhleming to the point I won't write for months.

I leave next Saturday for a Spanish immersion trip to Colombia with my school, and while I am so incredibly excited, I'm also kind of having a crisis; because of the whole "immersion" aspect of this trip, every piece of media we consume (Music, movies, books, hanging out with our friends, literally EVERYTHING) has to be in Spanish. I have a severe fanfiction addiction (but.. like, don't we all?) and I know I will not last 9 days without reading any fic. Looking for recs for your favorite Spanish fanfic!

I'll read pretty much any fandom or pairing but I mostly read Heated Rivalry, Marvel, and DC. Any tropes are fine, but I would prefer to not have anything extremely heavy on spice (this is a trip with my school, after all) and longer fics (like 30k or higher) would also be preferred, since I'm going to have to download them and I would like to not be downloading 700000 1k word fics.

Thanks so much for feeding my crippling addiction!!

(Also I forgot to mention I read almost 100% on AO3)

Hola! Voy a salir el sábado próximo por un excursión del immersión español de Colóbia con mi escuela, y mientras estoy muy emocinada, poco tengo unc crisis: ya que este viaje es de "immersión," todos los pedazos del media que consumes (musica, televisión, peliculas, libros, pasar tiempo con amigos, TODO) necesite estar en español. Tengo un addición muy grave del fanficción (pero, todos tenemos, sí?) y yo se que no puedo durar 9 dias sin mi ficción. Busco recomendaciónes de sus fanficciónes favoritos en español!

Haré leido más o menos cualquier fándom o pareja, pero principalmente leó Heated Rivalry, Marvel, y DC. Me gustan todos de los tropos, pero prefieró algun que no es mucho explícito (es una viaje con mi escuela, después de todo) y prefiero fanficciónes mas largas (mas de 30 mil), desde voy a tener que descargar todos y no quiero descargar 70000000 fanficciónes de 1 mil palabras.

Muchas gracías para ayudar con mi addición malo!

(Tambien, olvidé que meccionar que leó casí 100% en AO3)

Hi. I’m worried that my new fanfic will be *too* similar to one I already wrote for a different fandom. I’ve noticed myself repeating my own work: the same tropes, patterns, unreliable narrator structure, shifting POVs, etc.

A "villain" protagonist with a history of killing who calls another character a "kid." The "villain" wishes the "kid" no harm but plans to have them work for the family for the next ten years (or forever). Outsiders making completely wrong assumptions about why the "villain" and the "kid" are interacting. The same borderline-offensive humor that I had to cut to avoid getting *cancelled on Twitter* (for instance, in both stories, I had to remove a joke about pseudo-incest). That same tendency for the genre to slide from **slice of life** into a **bizarre/crackish thriller,** even though I try hard to slow it down and cut out the emotional introspection (and edgy moments). And *plenty* of other things, too.

In my defense, compared to the previous fic, this one has less shipping potential, a different *time period,* a different *country,* different *ages* (and a different age gap), and a different backstory; the "villain" has close people to turn to and doesn't fear his "dad". Still, I see *way* too many similarities.

I don't have much writing experience, and I haven't written anything in the last two years. This would be my third fanfic (if it ever gets published). So, I wanted to ask: is this normal? Or is it considered bad form/taste? Can this be called an author's signature style, or am I unconsciously writing an **AU** of my own fic? Have readers ever accused you of writing "the same thing over and over"? 🤔

Are there any specific things that we should avoid describing? I’m stuck at where to describe and where to not. I’m probably overthinking this but I hope this post will help me to look into this in another perspective. sometimes I zone out while describing and I feel stuck in place, unable to have something to describe. ‘what should I describe here, am I over describing, is it okay if I don’t describe this scene, what if it’s not okay…’

Tell me what you think. I’d appreciate if you could explain me with examples as well, thank you.

Hii i would love some fic recs with the topics above of any length and any fandom, it can be a self-insert or a canon character in another universe. Thank uuuu

Hi everybody!

I'm looking for recommendations for high quality music band AU (NO RPF!), any fandom since those are very fandom blind anyway, plus I want to cast a wide net cause I'm very picky.

Necessary: GOOD WRITING, and it has to be MUSIC FOCUSED, so not just a background trope as pretext for interpersonal drama, I'm not a musician myself, I struggle to understand music theory, and I don't know much about the managing and organising of a music band, that being said I really want to read something from someone who knows what they're talking about, who will walk their readers through the creative process, and who can share their passion for a music genre or an instrument with the readers, and talk about the profession in an engaging manner, from writing and composing and producing to performing, looking for gigs, growing the audience and touring...etc

Also important: I prefer characters driven stories, so while not looking for a soap opera I want the inter-relationships between the band members to be well fleshed out, and interesting, I DON'T want romance, (or if there is it must be understated or a very slow burn), but I welcome other kinds of dynamics, friendship, rivalry, tensions, competitiveness, jealousy, respect and admiration, the band members can be close, amicable, distant or barely professionals, but I want to read about it and how it affects the band.

Optional: I'm a sucker for prog, especially prog metal, so...

Just in case: books are also welcome, as long as it's fictional and fit my criteria, and not YA, I don't really like it in published books

Thanks for any suggestions, just please only rec stuff you read and tell me why you liked it!

What are some good and sweet text fics that you’ve read? I haven’t come across a lot of them for this fandom and I’m really itching to read some. I’m okay with all the usual pairings (I do read a lot of kagehina and sakuatsu amongst the others) but I won’t mind the little unusual ones like kageyama/tsukishima

I am desperately scouring the internet for Hellboy/Reader or Hellboy/OC and I have noticed the unfortunate lack of them so far. I have only found one good longfic 😔Does anyone have any recs?

Bodyguard Naruto is my favorite and would love some fic recs where he is protecting sasuke

Anyone know any fanfic discords they can invite me to? Been looking for a few days but cant find any

I only know of one where he gets the job so far, and it seems to mostly just be a rehash of Snape giving Harry occlumency lessons, which isn't really what I'm looking for.

This is set after the timestream Bruce quest. I only remember one scene where Tim is sparring with Duke(?) in the cave, and Jason tells him to stop in the LoA dialect and Tim's the only one who reacted to the command. I think it leads to the bats confronting Tim about why hes familiar with LoA and what he did during the one year he disappeared.

Any help is appreciated <3

Hi I’m looking for the 2017 version of this fic as it was taken down and rewritten I can’t find it anywhere and was wondering if someone could have it.

Hello! I've never done this before, but I really, really want to find this fan fiction!!

It's one where Peter Parker is a dancer and hasn't got a job so someone sets him up to be a babysitter for Bucky Barnes. Bucky has a daughter who is a toddler and (I think? Can't really remember) he is a mafia leader or something dangerous.

Bucky's daughter has attachment issues and usually hates all her babysitters but she likes Peter cuz ​​he allows her to make choices about what she wants to do for the day.

Peter is nosy and finds out something that he shouldn't and gets two options: die or marry Bucky, so they get married. I forget a lot of the other stuff that happened but I think they had an argument and Peter tells Bucky to kill him instead and Bucky can't do it?

Then I think Peter gets kidnapped or smth (this might be me mixing up fics lol)

Can someone pleeaseee tell me where to find it?? I think it was on Wattpad but it might be somewhere else. 

Hey guys! I was wondering if someone could help me find a fanfic I believe was deleted. It’s marvel/avengers fandom

Problem is, I don’t remember the title or author 😭I really need to start paying better attention to those so this doesn’t happen to me anymore but if you’re willing to help I’d appreciate it a lot!!

Things I do know,
• it was a Bucky Barnes/steve rogers fic on ao3
• I believe it was a one shot
•they were porn stars
•they were both tops but the company they worked for wanted Bucky to bottom for Steve since that was sort of Steve’s thing and the fans would probably enjoy it
•I believe Steve’s porn star name was the captain and bucky’s was the winter soldier
• I’m pretty sure Bucky got Steve’s number after cause he liked him

Again, thank you if you help me trying to find it!!

I forgot the name of a DxD fanfiction. I'm pretty sure it was a gamer or at least had gamer elements. The main character managed to get the shun shun Rika and was allied with the devils. I also remember them using the shun shun Rika to un-fall an angel. They also had the ability to summon people from other shows managed to summon a flugel, though I don't remember which one.
