[felicia_angelic]

I have an account on fanfiction.net (www.fanfiction.net/~feliciaangel). I currently write mainly Torchwood and Sherlock Holmes, but I also have done a few crossovers (mostly Sailor Moon) and am trying to keep it updated. Unluckily, most of the fanfics I write end up being put on a livejournal community, but I'll try to post it later.

[NeonChandelier]

Hey everyone! I'm neonchandelier, both here and on fanfiction.net. I write mostly Inuyasha (SessKag) and Twilight fan fiction. I'm currently working on a few longer fics, like Meddling Fathers, my Inuyasha story. I'm really excited about it!

Here's the link to my profile:

Bonjour, tout le monde!

Je suis "Cezille07" à Fanfiction.net!

Haha, I speak English. Just messing with ya. wink

Anyway, do you ever get annoyed when people submit 'fanfictions' in your fandom's archive when the canon's main character is used ONLY for a connection? Fanfictions are easy because the world is already set up, the characters are already developed, but others are using this to publicize their OC's. It's infuriating in our fandom! scream

Out of curiosity, which fandom are you referring to?

While I understand and sympathize with how you feel -- I have no doubt that this could be quite frustrating if it occurs all the time -- I can't help but take a bit of an offense. Are you implying that simply because someone chooses not to use a series' characters in their writing that they are not the series' fan? That they cannot be a fan of the series' setting?
Every fandom has characters that certain fans dislike. Sometimes the more generally popular ones can be loathed by others. Does leaving this character out of my writing when they might be the canon's main focus somehow make me unworthy of calling myself a fan?

I am currently working on a fic similar to what you have mentioned. As I stated awhile back in this thread, I've been working on a rewrite of the original Tales of Symphonia. It has an entirely original main cast, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. The original cast make brief appearances or are mentioned now and then, but they are no longer the focus. Collette is not the Chosen of Mana, she and Lloyd and the others are not a part of the group traveling the worlds. It still takes place in the worlds of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. The new cast interacts with a lot of the supporting cast from the game.
Am I to understand that this is not to be considered fanfiction? I certainly can't call it an original piece -- I've borrowed too heavily from the original. So then, Cezille07, what do I call this "fanfiction" that I have been working on for over two years?

In closing, yes, fanfiction is easy because most of the work has already been done for you.
Don't call someone else's writing a joke simply because they wanted to put in a bit more effort.

[radioactive alchemist]

Does anyone know what happened to my story? confused I went to check it and clicked the title, and it says "Story Not Found Unable to locate story with id of 5373034." But it's still there in my account, the document's fine, and I can preview it fine...

EDIT: huh, seems to have resolved itself.

And I posted another chapter!

[Tifa_B_Lockheart]

I've been a member at FF.net for quite a few years now.

I do Final Fantasy 7 fanfics, long ones. I have a unique coupling though, Rufus ShinRa and Tifa Lockheart, and I explain in my fic, 'Ice', why I believe there was something going on between them in the game. Its been a while since I've updated my latest fic tho. sad I have another chapter written, I've just been too lazy to upload it...

[Fate Chose Terra]

I have an account there but I haven't uploaded anything due to the fact that
1. it is a work in progress

2. It involves an OC I created and I know they are looked upon poorly when it comes to fanfiction

3.I think it's horrible and no one will probably read it

I'll write fanfiction based on anything that gives me interest but not a whole lot of people will read it.

My name on there is animelover9896. I'm thinking about adding the story mentioned above but I'm not positive I should or not. If you see it please let me know what you think.

[Clare_N]

Sounds like you need to try believing in yourself and not getting too hung up about what other people think. You might think people are going to hate your story, but you won't know for sure unless you let people see it. And, if anyone says it sucks just because it involves an OC, ignore them.

[Hatsuki31]

This is just what I've been looking for... I can't believe I hadn't noticed this forum before... XD
My fanfiction.net account: www.fanfiction.net/~labelleetoile
I write Dragon Ball Z stories. I hope you'll check it out! 3nodding

[Hatsuki31]

I don't understand why people have so many issues with OCs. I think it's fun to create your own character, plus, it makes it easier to kinda... put yourself into the story. Maybe I'm a freak because my stories are also partially my fantasies, but I like it that way. Actual characters from whatever you are fanfic-ing is great, I have nothing against that. But isn't writing or reading about an OC just as fun? I think it's better sometime.
What's a fanfic without a little touch of something original?

[Fate Chose Terra]

I'll post it up again tonight if anyone here is interested in reading it my username on the website is animelover9896
It's a Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Bleach crossover sort of. Feel free to read it if you want to.

I've only posted one fic so far, and it's still in progress. (Though I only have one or two more chapters till I finish it up and move onto a new story.)
I guess you'll only be bothered to take a look if you're into Pokemon & Contestshipping? c;
