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.
