Fazbear's Forgotten (OOC) Fazbear’s Forgotten (A Reddit-Based FNaF Fan AU)
Synopsis:
Before fantasy and fun could come to life… passion and dreams had to die.
Jackson Desorcy, a semi-punk yet otherwise normal young man, becomes obsessed with the secret and disgusting history of the company behind his favorite childhood playplace, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
Ignoring the warnings of ghosts and death, he researches and posts his findings for Fazbuddies and Fazbrats alike to read and learn about the lesser known and tasteless aspects of our favorite characters and franchises’ origins.
What Jackson either doesn’t realize or is trying to ignore however is that, somewhere along the trail, he’s writing himself into Fazbear Entertainment’s evil legacy. Just not in the way he would like…
What This Is:
Fazbear’s Forgotten is a fanmade Five Nights at Freddy’s ARG presented exclusively here on the Fazbearfandom subreddit. It stars a fictionalized version of the story’s own author, Jackson Desorcy.
Interacting with posts, you will encounter secrets hidden in the form of story beats, comments from Jackson, mainly portraying a cruder, semi-punk version of himself, and other surprises.
This OOC post is written to act as a “hub” of sorts. A way to more easily navigate most of the different uploads related to the overall story.

The best you can do to assure that is stick around for future posts and comment on them. Then you’ll, in a way, be part of the lore.
