May 2024 Begins!
Despite the latest issues of life, a oneshot I started working on last week is nearly at 5k words. I just. I can't even. My brain usually struggles just to do 1k words in that frame. How.
Also now drawing things for Domaystic. That is less wild to me because. Well. Drawing has always been easier than words.
One day I'll get back to my main comic but not going to fight my brain on this. Riding this hyperfixation high for however long it will let me.

Somewhere it's April 20
If anyone has doubts that their idea is too niché to be read, my Squirrel Stapler/Slay the Princess oneshot has gotten 40 hits since I uploaded it some 20ish hours ago.
I cannot remember who introduced the Finished What You Started here, but that oneshot is my contribution to the event! I have so many other WIPs. I dared think I was going to finish a Pokémon piece or even a Sakuna: Rice&Ruin one I've had since last year. But nooooo (I say despite the fact we still have time left)
Also got to contribute to a week event! No way am I going to fulfill the whole week of prompts but it was so nice to find something I could play and contribute to.
Hope everyone is holding up. Please be safe!

Here's a Mulan fanfic that I thought was quite good! It's a mix of the Disney flick and the original Ballad of Mulan.
There is some violence, because of course there is it is taking the fact of someone going to war seriously. Still, it goes into what if the main character was indeed trans and then how long an actual war would take.

So I completely misremembered and the challenge is a tumblr post.
I know my big issue if I was writing would be the rng aspect of the game, thus the idea of referencing an actual play. I have no idea how much the change of proper rules have completely destroyed the ability for you to echo the original duel, let alone a replication(?) duel. I hope you'll allow yourself forgiveness of a possibly sloppy card play as the more you get through this arc it will only get better (in the meantime, regardless of the card play quality, you have the rest that reads out so well!).
Thank you!

Well, I'm not doing a great job with Finishing then. Oh well. XD
A friend helped me make real decks for everyone in Duelist Kingdom, so I'm good on that front. It's still hard work to make it all something interesting to read. But I've gotten some compliments on my writing of duels so far, so it's worth the effort to put into it!

Well damn my original comment got eaten. The only recommendation I have is a Sonic fancomic: The Heart of a Monster. It's a rewrite of Unleashed. Taking place 10 months after Shadow's game and will apparently explore the timeline reset from 2006. Not sure how fast a comic reader you are but there are 300 pages of story thus far!
Good luck on your trip!

Friday Roundup (2024-03-08)
Hey everyone =) Time for our weekly tradition of telling each other we're damn tired and gush about fandom ;p How have you been? Anything you want to share?
--
I'm... well, tired of course, duh. Tempted to add "boring" because I don't have anything new to say lol. Thanks to the FanPrompt game for keeping me vaguely in the loop.
Oh, and someone started a lemmy instance dedicated to fandom, so that could maybe be of interest to someone here.

On the bright side, this magazine has enough activity that just making a new thread doesn't jump it to the front on hot/top. On the other, need to remember to click on new to make sure I don't miss Roundups!
On a more "capitalists ruin more things" tumblr is going to join the other big name sites and sell their user's art and images to their choice of AI. Technically not officially announced and it's rumours. But given Tumblr's record of horrible choices I would not be surprised. Further reminder for me to start fixing up my Pillowfort and such lol aaaaa
I'm 3 pages away from finishing my latest comic oneshot. I'm who knows how far away from finishing any pure-text oneshot.
I'm still emotionally shot. Anxiety is amped and it doesn't take much for me to panic. But hey, I'm existing.
Congrats on those microfics! And thank you for sharing the event. That's a nice one to vibe with (helped you finish 3 fics and a pattern? Insane!)

Friday Roundup (2024-02-23)
Hello everyone =) Any fandomy news? Any fandomy plan? Let’s hear about it!
–
I am apparently cycling between "too dead to function, much less write more than a few sentences" → "writing a fill for a prompt in one sitting in a feverish daze" → "struggling to typocheck and post because too tired" and back to the start. That's... not ideal.
The good news is that despite this I'm still going strong with the daily microfics, and I'm still writing daily even if some days it's just literally one sentence. Any word is better than none after all.
The complex news is that there is new content for the currently-releasing game in my fandom and I'm too tired to play it. I feel very much like a frustrated mess x')
Also this is the last week before the event "Finish What You Started" that focuses on finishing fan projects we started before the first day of the event. It runs from

Things easy get quiet when kbin is still struggling in showing when magazines update, let alone comments. Thank you everyone who keeps posting to push through!
I've... also not been good. Lots of panic attacks, sobbing, etc. Real life issues aside, I finally had my breakthrough with the comic I thought I was going to be posting last year but couldn't. If I don't fumble it should start posting next week (9 pages queued 4 more to ink).
It will be nice to get one more story on my anthology out before I reach its 5th birthday. Trying not to be mad that I haven't managed to finish the 2nd book of my Anthology before the 5th birthday. But also. Need to remind me to forgive myself? When your therapist is also saying, "holy fuck that's a lot on your plate" it helps reinforce to me that I'm actually doing really well considering what is always looming.
I have posted another "first" fanfic. Unless someone corrects me I am now the only person to have posted a Squirrel Stapler fanfic. Once again I expected it to be 1-2 hits at most due to curious friends but got a comment from someone who read it blind!
I keep wanting to get into a challenge thing and participate with others but it need to be the right thing given how drained I am. Will look into the fanprompts on Mastodon, thank you
When it comes to "write this much in this time limit" it helps a lot if you just punch perfection in the face. Allow yourself to write [cool/sad fight scene here], [she said the exact right thing that inspired them to be less stupid], etc, move on and don’t look back to edit until months later. Best wishes on your challenge!

I just got a comment that was entirely in caps. Usually I don’t like when people write in all caps, but in a comment? Screaming about how much they love the chapter? Yes please!

@avividtale That's awesome! I love it when you find one person out there who can also fall in love with your niche preferences. :)

Thinking that I wouldn't mind writing a trashy Christmas romance this year but acknowledging that I won't have time for it, only to find that I wrote 80% of one last year that I have a cute little idea for the ending of now. 🥳

Woo! A productive weekend that means I have multiple chapters lined up to post while I'm traveling over the coming weeks. 🥳 For once, not being able to write in the regular order may have worked out for me as I just had to sort out one link in the chain in order to expand my buffer.
It has also made me realise that I probably only have half a dozen chapters left to write for this story before I'm done. So double-woo!, I guess! Or not, if my inspiration abandons me after that.

Ohohoh! If you ever feel like sharing your comic drafts (original or fan) I'm very here for that! (Please excuse my obliviousness to most Fire Emblem things though!)
Reading: If The King of Games has updated that is always the guaranteed read. Orochimama by WhoaMama is also a must read whenever it updates, but that is more of a "once per couple of month" if one is lucky. Comic wise, most of what has updated is on the original side.
Writing: Have a couple of oneshots that are very near finished but I desire to double check a couple of facts to make sure they are correct. Are these facts that important to the story at large? No. But I need them.
Writing+Drawing: The first 4 pages to my latest Pokémon Mystery Dungeon story have been posted. 8 queued. Need to finish the others. Hard to say when because I draw just as much out of order as I do in writing. Page 17 will likely be finished before the 13th. Weh.
Drawing: A friend introduced me to Traveller a while back. I've been having trouble getting into it because despite being one of the oldest ttrpgs there is next to no art (official or fanwise) to help me get into the work. I'm a very visual person. So instead, for a lark, I've decided to draw my own renditions of the various species that exist in Traveller purely by their text descriptions. It will be a fun experiment.

@amacandcon Ah, that makes sense. I saw the list of categories & assumed it was a general fanfic site at first.

@lexr86 Never heard of it before, so I looked it up. I guess it must have started as a Twilight focused place for fanfiction, because there are 6K+ stories and 4.6k of them are Twilight.

Has anyone ever heard of stars library? A writer I followed a while ago said they'd moved their works there after fictionpad went offline, but this is the first I'd ever heard of it.

used to lurk in a variety of subreddits (most notably kirby and deltarune)! and now i'm actively participating in !kirby and to a lesser extent !deltarune. well, not as much in the past few days due to being busy with other stuff

@borzoiteeth Huzzah! I love it. With your permission, I definitely will use this as our icon! Maybe as the magazine evolves and more people talk about their fandoms, we can swap out the bird's cosplay. XD

@lexr86 Thank you! I wasn't exactly thinking of necessarily adding MORE fandoms. My thought was more of, "is there a better combination of fandoms to display" instead.

@borzoiteeth Looks great!
I think you could drive yourself mad trying to cover too many fandoms, & this looks really approachable without being cluttered.

@borzoiteeth love it!

Very rough but wanted this magazine to have an icon! Based off of the popular kbin mascot designed by FixedFun and further tweaked by Minnieo. Tried to represent some of the big fandoms on here but this draft only ended up with 4.
Honestly I think it would be nicer to instead check in on everyone's main fandom for this magazine. Obviously if your fandom doesn't have a simple symbol it will be harder to apply. But I'd like to try!
Please, critique/suggest away!

@fede i do this for my fics all the time coz im too lazy to think of an actual description

@borzoiteeth I honestly think it's a great thing about self-driven projects (as opposed to commercial/money-making work). Even if it takes an age, if the desire to finish it is there, it'll get done & probably with better quality than if it was a commercial piece that's rushed out to meet an arbitrary deadline.

It's going to have a few little bonus stories added but a 12 year old fancomic I read has finally finished! That kind of power to push through is not something you see often regardless if it's fandom

Few things more shocking than having a decade+ old fanfic suddenly get a comment!

Community Input on the Magazine
A couple updates!
Currently our microblog pulls in anything tagged with #fanfiction. Not even when it is posted, as everyone might have noticed the recent additions from much longer than a week ago. (This is a Kbin thing. I don't know how Lemmy or others see this.)
I have asked how to keep this from happening, but haven't gotten an answer yet. Kbin is new and I think for most magazines this isn't an issue.
The only way this becomes an issue is when the posts go against our rules. I prefer to ask people to change things, rather than just delete stuff. However, if people didn't post to here in the first place, it's just confusing for everyone.
Does it matter to you if the microblog does this?
The biggest issue so far are the few posts which go against the self-promotion rule. The reason we have this rule is because a lot of communities which allow for this tend to become people only posting about their own work and little response. **We coul

Welcome to m/FanFiction!
Welcome one and all to another corner of the internet devoted to fanfiction, /m/fanfiction!
Whether you are a reader, a writer, or both, you are welcome here. This is a place to talk about what you are reading, working on, the fandoms you like, and the craft of writing.

- You can complain about things you don't like to find in your work and others, but no posting links to direct people toward something you don't like. We are not a mob.
- As this is fanfiction, don't bring up getting paid for the hobby.
- Posts to share passages or a review exchange are great! Specify these in the title of the thread, as well as whether concrit is or is not allowed.
