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.
The rules:
- Be nice. Disagreements are fine, being mean is not. The usual Golden Rule.
- Only link to your own work if someone asks you directly or, in a post requesting for certain types of work, the OP specifies self-promo is okay.
- 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.
- Make sure to check the NSFW box for any adult topics. They are allowed here, but this magazine is for all ages!
- When discussing specific fandom terms, try to be as inclusive as possible! This includes explaining or linking to an explanation of tropes some people might not be as familiar with the name of, or writing out the full name of your fandom before you use any abbreviations.
Update July 15th 2023: These rules are to be applied to the Threads section of this magazine. The Microblog section automatically pulls inposts with #fanfiction. Only rules one and three will be enforced there. So look and click on anything there at your own risk!
I'll admit I don't know what I'm doing yet, but I'll try my best. Please introduce yourself here however you best see fit!
ah, time, the one thing there absolutely isn't enough of when it comes to reading fanfiction. at least in my experience.
there's a reason i'm willing to put in the work with this reposting business (which i just got finished doing)! growing pains are a "fun" thing, but they're nothing compared to all the good experiences i've had so far with the fediverse.
edit, attempt 2 after kbin did a thing: might as well share some recommendations now! one for each fandom:
kirby: Of Starry Eyes and Geminis (complete, 10 chapters, 76 002 words) takes a deeper look at two chimchilas and how they cope with stuff in the aftermath of kirby and the forgotten land. the only (k or t)-rated fic on ao3 that has kirby/eflilin as a ship -- it actually works quite well! has some very interesting character development.
pmd: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Reflecting Balance (serebii, ff.net, ao3 -- thanks, tvtropes page!) is a lighthearted adventure featuring a rather colourful cast of characters and a rather unique twist that i won't be spoiling here. doesn't seem to update very quickly (i've only seen one update ever since i found the fic a few months ago), but i'm certainly excited to see more! 63 chapters (though i've only read the first 60, waiting for more updates before i start reading the rest) and 301 470 words so far, along with some bonus content.
Seconding the recommendation for Reflecting Balance. And thanks for the reminder to catch up to the story!
