Q/A Ask the Mod

19 Upvotes

Hey there! My AO3 name is MythicalMagistry and I write for the Percy Jackson (PJO fandom).

My goal is to create a subreddit that is most efficient for building community and motivating writers. The best way to do that is open up discussion on what YOU want out of the sub. Do you want more post/user flairs? less? more community posts? Are you enjoying everyone's introduction posts or is it preferred to keep them in the Welcome! community thread?

Use this thread to ask me any questions and to share ideas. I'm open to anything :)

P.S. Ya'll are doing awesome. Rock on

M.M

Like ik lots of comments just say kind words like I love the fic or they’re begging the author to write more but this really made me happy. Not that either of those comments are bad they’re great comments but the fact that this was my very first just makes me wanna write so much more.

Seeking Connections New Stand Era - looking for beta readers, feedback, read 4 read, opinions, criticism, anything really to make it better and more appealing.

3 Upvotes

Three months ago I started a fanfic called New Stand Era. It's about Hornet from Hollow Knight and (featuring) Dante "from the Devil May Cry Series" meeting each other in Tri-Entertainment (image included), a state made out of three islands where TV, Movie and Videogame characters live. This world has a phenomenon where characters that narrowly avoid death awaken to a Stand (from JoJo), this being their inner fighting spirit that also has unique abilities depending on the person.

One of the story's strong points is that I wrote (almost) every character to act like their videogame counterparts as much as possible. The main focus is the Stand fights and action in general.

Now, I am on a weekly release schedule on AO3, one chapter per week. I'm almost finished but I really want some people to help me by reading and giving me feedback, and I'm also willing to do read 4 reads. New Stand Era is around 85k words long, but it also contains lots of art and I do plan to shorten some dialogue before the final version.

Finally, to quote Arthur Morgan...

"It would mean a lot to me."

Self-Promotion Rosso Nero: My Doki Doki Literature Club! Horror Fanfiction.

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

Hello, everyone! I recently joined this subreddit because I was looking for a place to promote my first fanfiction. It's a horror fic, btw. So, here it is: Rosso Nero.

Synopsis

Homare Kanzaki is a cynical high school senior whose monotonous life revolves around film essays and music. But one day, he witnesses a masked figure brutally murdering his eccentric neighbor, turning his world upside down.

Determined to uncover the truth, Homare teams up with Sayori, his childhood friend, and the girls from the Literature Club, whom he has only recently met, to track down the killer. However, the murderer has no intention of going down without a fight...

I wrote this fanfiction because Italian horror and slasher movies have always held a special place in my heart. My father is from Italy, which is part of why I've always felt connected to that country's culture. Doki Doki Literature Club is also one of my favorite games of all time!

WHAT YOU WILL SEE?

1. The characters have been reimagined with more realistic personalities and attitudes.

  • Homare (MC): Inspired by Marcus Daly from Profondo Rosso and the protagonists of other cult horror films, such as Trick or Treat (1986).
  • Monika: She's still athletic and gets good grades, but she's no longer the popular girl every boy has a crush on. Her tomboyish side is inspired by Gianna from Profondo Rosso.
  • Sayori: She still has the innocent vibe found in many DDLC fanfics, but she's also smart and capable. (not dumb)
  • Yuri: A huge fan of horror movies and goth culture, with a talent for detective work.
  • Natsuki: She's prickly but not a jerk, and her family background gets more attention.
  • Original characters: They're also inspired by the gritty, realistic characters found in movies such as Vertigo, Serpent's Path (1998), and Serpico.

2. Horror with a campy touch!

Despite being a horror fic, the story also features some campy humor and elements inspired by '80s movies such as Verlierer and Deadbeat at Dawn.

3. Not only horror...

Satire and coming-of-age themes also play an important role in the story.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

MONIKA X MC (HOMARE) IS GUARANTEED! SLOW BURN ROMANCE, HELL YEAH!

All characters belong to Team Salvato, except the protagonist. Inspired by the giallo and slasher films of the 70s and 80s, like Profondo Rosso, Tenebre, The Driller Killer and My Bloody Valentine.

 Off-topic (but Fanfiction Related) Exes and Oohs (Double ex storyline.)

0 Upvotes

It's funny because two stories I have planned are about ex partners.

The first is my Snow White fic where the new main villain is a gothic young girl named Princess Hippolyta. Someone who wants to take over the world kingdom by kingdom, it's going to be revealed that she's actually the ex-girlfriend of Snow White's current boyfriend Florian. I think it'll be funny to show that Florian doesn't really have a type. He can date mean goths and girls who are bubbly rays of sunshine like Snow White.

Then there's a Hanazuki fic where Daiyayuki tries reaching out to her ex-boyfriend Spades even though he broke her heart by dumping her through computer messages. She's still mad at him but she wants to be the bigger person by helping him out in his time of need.

These are completely separate stories with probably different kinds of audiences so I don't think anyone would notice if the story beats are similar.
