Since this is a writer's guild, and one of the most popular types of unpublished fiction is fanfiction, (that is, the using of other authors' characters, places, or stories to act out your own stories) I figured I'd make topic for it. Here, you may post your own fanfiction, either simply to share it with others, or to seek critique. If you've never written one, and are interested in trying your hand at it, you may also come here for help, ideas, etc. This is not like the School of Literacy; I myself am not an avid fanfiction writer and will not grade your work. This is more of a "sharing" thread.
And, always, there are rules...

Rules:
1. Follow all Guild rules/Gaia TOS
2. While I realize that one of the more popular forms of fanfiction is "PwP"-aka-smut stories involving published characters- I am sorry to say this will not be permitted in this thread. Romance is allowed, but try to keep it PG-13 level. kthx.
3. Do not flame another person's work- for whatever reason. If you don't like the pairing (EWW HARRY AND DRACO!), if you don't like the series (Twilight SUX so this SUX), if you thought it was poorly written (lol u fail at writing), whatever. Constructive criticism is allowed, and in fact encouraged, but only if the author specifies.
4. Please specify in your post whether you would like to receive critiquing on your piece or not.
5. Be respectful.
6. Taking characters from published works is fine (since that's pretty much the basis of fanfiction), and using your own OC's is fine; however, if you decide to use someone else's OC- PLEASE get permission first. Or just don't do it.
7. Include a spoiler warning if you give away any "huge events" that aren't common knowledge. Your discretion. I'm not gonna like patrol them. Just have respect for those that may have not finished the series.
8. Be literate.
9. Slash (gay pairings) is fine, as long as it falls into the pg-13 category.
10. There is no word limit or anything, but if you do have a long fanfiction, I'd really appreciate if you split it into chapters and posted them separately 3nodding
11. I reserve the right to add more rules

Ideas to help get started:
-Harry Potter
-Kingdom Hearts
-Twilight
-Bleach
-Naruto
-Fruits Basket
-Lord of the Rings
-Death Note
-Fullmetal Alchemist
-Final Fantasy
-Gundam
etc
Essentially, any series containing a ton of characters, a long plot with lots of holes, and an obsessive following is prime to use for a fanfiction. Generally, any anime, game, book, movie, or television series is fair game. You can also use things that aren't in series; for example, a Phantom of the Opera fanfic. These are less popular, perhaps in part because in only one volume, there's usually much less plot and information to work with. I've also seen fanfics written about real people- celebrities mostly- ex: "My Date with Gerard Way"- generally though, those are kinda lame. But go for it if you want XD
So, pretty much anything can be used. A series you are enthusiastic about, or characters that you love. Maybe you saw the story going a different way. Maybe something happened in the middle to change it all. It's up to you!~
Have fun~

I do not want any critique or whatever. I mean you can tell me if you liked it or not, but I don't really want any grammer/spelling stuffs. I already know I have mistakes. xD
Name of series/work:Original
Characters used: Riu, my original character, and Hiro, Sake's original character.
Pairings: Riu and Hiro
Spoilers: Um..none. o.O
Comments?: This was actually a weird dream I had, and I decided to put it in story form. Except, I have switched a few minor details around to make it flow better. Sake, I've already told you about this. ^^ Also...this is kinda a sad story in the beginning...and...I guess it could be rated...PG-13? It's not really romance, but yes it is two guys. Just for some of you to know. Also, if you're lost with what's going on...you're kinda supposed to be. xD The only people who this will make 100% sense to is me and Sake. >w<
On another note...I love them soooooo much! <3
Title of piece: Beautiful Savior
Your name:Erratic Rhapsody
Scarlet petals brushed against pale lips. Sorrow filled the depths of the candle lit room and heavy curtains masked the tall windows with swirling drapes. Pure white gloves clung to slender fingers as thorns rested between them. A single rose twirled between fragile digits.
“Destiny…was it destiny?”
Soft words broke the silence as heavy distant footsteps bound up the stairs. Silver glinted in the dim light, and the scarlet rose was gently released into a glass vase. While the figure’s left hand held the silver object close the right hand stroked against the slick barrel of a gun. Silk grazed across the weapon and not a single print was left to dirty the silver.
All it took was one finger. One finger and it would all end; the suffering. A delicate pointer set against the fragile trigger, waiting. In one swift motion the barrel rested against the figure’s temple, too pale of brown locks draping against the metal.
Just one finger and…
“Riuichi!”
Strong hands bound the other’s wrists tightly, while one of them twisted the other’s left hand until the gun dropped. In seconds the gunner found himself face first against the cool wall of his home.
Auburn tresses flooded over shoulders as they shook with rage. “What were you thinking? I should snap your wrist!” a booming voice threatened, grips tightening on the wrist, which held the gun previously. Aqua irises gazed off in the only direction allowed, but not an answer was given to the redhead. The intruder scanned the room for a brief moment. All across the floor laid empty sakè bottles and there, next to the rose, set a bottle of pills. Mixed emotions flared inside the stronger man. Without any difficulty he flipped the brunette causing his back to crash into the wall.
Riuichi flinched at the sudden pain. Burning sensations flooded to his wrists as the auburn-haired man tightened his grip. “H-Hiro…” his voice was weak and pitiful. Oceanic orbs brimmed with tears.
Hiro should’ve known his best friend was going to do something stupid. Riu had taken Ritalin for Christ’s sake! Sure it might “help” those with ADD, but for someone like Riuichi Tamagowa, it only made his depression worse. Not to mention, this pale brunette was already an alcoholic that tried to drown away all his grief by wearing a mask everyday of his life. Hiro did know his friend was going to do something stupid. In fact, he had rushed over as soon as he had got the word that Riu was back. If not…he might’ve been too late.
Trickling, wet crystals fell slowly down pale cheeks. Riu could feel his body breaking, breaking with every teardrop. Hiro’s grip loosened, allowing the other’s hands to slip through. With falling hands, the young man fell into the safe arms of his savior.
Strong arms held the broken figure and all the shattered fragments of his friend’s heart. For once Hiroki’s arms were wrapped around the other, his hand stroking gently across brown locks. Despite that he wasn’t one to show affection, this moment was too fragile to handle with his usual attitude. His usual attitude being one that lacked compassion to those around him, or it gave off the impression of being heartless. Trembling fingers clenched into fists against the redhead’s chest. Riu’s body shook violently. He wasn’t ok. He was broken.
Hiro
A weak voice managed to break through choked sobs, “Please, don’t leave me.” Riuichi’s heart was a fragile thing and he couldn’t bear the thought of losing someone else close to him. After all, he had just tried to end his own life.
There was a pause between the exchanged words. “I’m not going to leave you,” Hiro replied. At least he wouldn’t leave him in death. However, if his job required him to leave for some time…he would. “It’ll be alright,” he continued before being cut off. “Nein!” the brunette burst, burring his face into the male’s chest. “What if you have to leave? What if the agency calls…and you have to leave? And…” there was a small pause as tears streamed. “What if something happens to you? What if…”
I
Caressing a pale cheek, Hiro lifted the young man’s face to look him in the eyes. Auburn irises gazed deeply into pools of blue. “Riu,” he began, his voice unnaturally calm, “It won’t.”
One last tear trickled down Riuichi’s left cheek. The faintest of smiles curled in the corners of his lips as he peered up at his own personal guardian angel. Riu believed him. If it weren’t for Hiro…he would be dead by now. Slender arms wrapped around the redhead’s neck, lips resting just against his ear, “Hiro...I…thank you.”
Love You

Name of series/work: It's not from a published series/work.
Characters used: Lysander "Quiggley" Valentine © SakuraMidvalley and Zero "Z" Fai ©ErraticRhapsody
Pairings: QuiggleyxZ
Spoilers: None
Comments?: It's a rewrite of a story I wrote back in Freshman year for Yumi. I lost the original, and she got mad at me. Naturally, I rewrote it for her. No, I do not wish to have it critiqued since it was written for Yumi, and she already loves it.
Title of piece: A Deadly Love
Your name: SakuraMidvalley An echoing explosion was heard from deep within a dull, dreary basement. It was lucky for the boy genius, now covered in ashes, that Sakura was currently out with the majority of the household. Now that he thought about it, as he cleaned his glasses, who had stayed home?
No sooner than he had thought this did the door at the top of the basement stairs open. "Zero, What's going on?" a cool, smooth male voice called down.
Zero's ice, blue eyes shot up to the open door. The kitchen light flooded onto the figure of a tall boy currently shirtless. His usually spiked hair lay flat on his head with water dripping from the ends of the black strands. The water glistened on the torso of the boy.
"N-nothing, Quiggley," Zero finally replied glad that the fuse was blown in the basement due to the explosion. The nearly feminin boy could feel his face heating up at the sight of the other boy. His heart was beating violently in his chest.
Stop it!
He thought anxiously, clearly forgetting Quiggley's special ability.
"Don't destroy the lab," Quiggley sighed. As far as Zero could tell, the boy had left pulling the door closed behind him.
The genius let out an exasperated sigh. "Get a hold of yourself, Zero," he muttered to himself turning to his lab table to clean up the mess.
"What's wrong with you?" Quiggley's voice rang gently in Zero's ear. His warm breath blanketing the easily flustered boy's skin.
"N-nothing," Zero managed to stutter once more.
"Oh really?" he mused a small growl in his voice.
Zero's shoulders tensed up. "Are you okay?" he inquired, his voice barely above a whisper.
I'm perfectly fine.
His voice entreated Zero's thoughts.
Why shouldn't I be?
Quiggley's strong arms wrapped themselves around Zero's waist and pulled him close to his body.l
Zero could feel the mind reader's slow, steady heart beat. His whole body froze as he felt Quiggley begin to nuzzle his neck and carress him.
"What about, Sake?" Zero asked thrown off by the psychic's peculiar behavior.
"I'm never going to be able to be with her, no matter how much I love her," he murmured his lips incredibly cross to the genius' ear.
Zero could just feel his face turning redder by the minute amazed that he wasn't glowing.
Suddenly, the boy was spun around and found his lips meeting with Quiggley's. Zero's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and wonderment. Slowly, those icey eyes began to close and he wrapped his arms gently around the taller boy's neck. Quiggley's slender, pale hands ran down his back sending pleasurable chills through Zero's body. A soft moan eminated from within the genius' throat.
Quiggley seized this oppurtunity and forced his tongue into Zero's mouth. It ran passionately over Zero's own and brushed over the roof of his mouth.
Another moan escaped Zero a little unwillingly.
Why does it matter now?
Quiggley questioned allowing his thoughts to leak into Zero's mind.
Why should it when I'm in love with you?
Zero could feel himself nearly melting in Quiggley's grasp. The mind reader pulled away from the passionate kiss and began to n** and bite at the boy's neck gently, sweetly.
The genius grasped to Quiggley tighter. His still undeveloped hormones began to rage inside of him.
I've always loved you.
He thought frantically. His breath too shallow fo rthe words to actually be spoken.
Quiggley beame more fierce with his love nips. Zero's eyes furrowed with the urge to pull back.
"Q-Quiggley," he whined pain shooting through his neck, "Ah, Quiggley. What are you doing?"
The psychic remained silent. His tongue swerved around a fresh wound that was pouring blood from Zero's neck. Although the boy genius was enjoying the feeling, he felt his body begin to weaken realizing what was going on.
HIs body leaned against the lab table behind him for support. "Stop, Quiggley," he said weakly trying to force the vampire away. Tears began to pool and flow down his cheeks as he felt his life slip from his grasp.
Quiggley pulled away violently as he realized there was no heartbeat left in Zero's body. He leaned forward again and gently kissed the lifeless lips of the boy he had fallen in love with.
He knew what he had done. He knew what he had to do.
An echoing shatter filled the silence of the dingy basement. Quiggley kneeled over Zero's body and carressed his cheek a final time.
"Will you love me in the after life?"
His hand grasped a sliver of a broken beaker that lay beside him.
"I'll understand if you won't, but I have to try."
Blood began to pour from his chest as he stabbed the glass through his dead heart. As he physically died for the second time in his lifetime, he held Zero close in his arms. Leaving silence behind them.
An echoing scream pierced through the silence of the lovers --

(( Absolutely adore this idea by the way, Harx <3 ))Name of series/work: Harry Potter Series
Characters used: Harry Potter
Pairings: DMxGW with hopeless HPxGW
Spoilers: ...None.
Comments?: This is a drabble fanfic that I wrote in the whimsical musings of one Mister Harry Potter. It was originally posted on Fanfiction.net here: http://www.fanfiction.net/secure/story/story_preview.php?storyid=3696124&chapter=1
Criticism is welcome :3
DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to own the base storyline of Harry Potter or any of the characters. All I did was actual writing.
Enjoy <3!
Title of piece: Fragility Cascading
Your name: Spawn of Enmity Fragility Cascading
A drabble in the voice of Harry Potter
Love isn’t flowers and Chocolate Frogs on Valentine’s Day, a weekend trip to Hogsmeade holding hands, or even a broomstick ride through the night. It’s not even that…lightheaded and bubbly feeling you get sometimes.
I mean…sure, you can get those sometimes. But that’s not all it is. It’s a lot more than that.
It’s more than just saying, “I want to be with you forever.” It’s saying that and actually knowing what “forever” means.
It’s more than…remembering birthdays and anniversaries and getting presents.
It’s more than a social status of “dating” and “boyfriend” and “girlfriend.”
It’s more than all of that.
Love is…well…it’s…
Love is…beautiful. It’s…being with someone and striving to be perfect for them, wanting to make them happy, knowing that they want you to be happy and how you can trust them and knowing that they never want to hurt you and accept you for all your flaws and how they’ll always be there for you and how safe they make you feel like nothing else matters and---
…And sometime’s love is heart-wrenching.
Sometimes…it feels like…glass shattering. Not just into pieces. But into dust…and it hurts…
A lot.
Sometimes Love is pretending. Pretending you’re happy and pretending to smile. Sometimes it’s pretending you don’t want to touch someone and hold them when they cry or just wanting to be close.
At times…Love can be looking at shining diamonds on bands of gold and silver…but smiling regretfully knowing there’s no point in buying one.
You know what Love is?
Love is…watching the girl that you’ve cared for more than anyone you have before, but too scared to be with her because of the danger she’d be in…sometimes it’s watching that girl walk away, smiling…being happy with your greatest rival and enemy.
Love is…trying not to cry and scream as she shows you her wedding ring.
Love is…saying, “Congratulations, Ginny,” and forcing the smile to reach your eyes.
Love is shaking hands and saying with painstaking good manners, “Congratulations, Draco,” and making a conscious effort to use his first name.
Love is…letting her go.
So just…just leave me alone right now okay? No Ron, Hermione…don’t give me that look. Please. Just…get out okay? Shut the door behind you. No Ron, leave the firewhiskey.
Please…just leave me alone…
I don’t feel like being a hero right now.
End Cascading Fragility

Enmi:
You know...if you wrote more Harry Potter fan-fictions, I would read them. I really enjoyed this piece of yours, Enmi. And that's saying a lot since I normally don't like the whole, Harry Potter fan-fiction thing. Very nice on writing from his perspective too. ^^
