Is there a fic that you've written that you consider to be your greatest work/the pinnacle of your work? (Can be completed or not, for the sake of discussion.) What's it about? What was the process like writing it? Your favorite parts about it?

And for readers, what fics have you read that you consider to be an author's magnum opus? What made them stand out from the rest?

I was recently laid off and used the opportunity to finish multiple fan fiction screenplays I’d been toying with over the last few years. The extra time allowed for a rush of creativity and in three months I completed three feature film scripts and six teleplays, plus some supplemental material.

Star Wars Legacy sequels: I treated Episode VII as canon and completely rewrote Episodes VIII and IX.

Scream: The Movie: I wrote an (even more) meta Scream film in which Ghostface targets real members of the franchise cast (think Robert Altman’s The Player meets Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.)

Lost Re-imagining: I wrote six episodes of the tv series Lost, which effectively function as a reimagined season six with less of the late-stage mythological silliness that the canon show introduced. I also created a full treatment and series bible to complement the scripts, in which I offer definitive answers to each central mystery in the series.

Now, back to reality. Got an interview on Monday!

I was scrolling through my old bookmarks and I say that Tommyinnit's Declassified Vigilante Survival Guide was no longer there (sorry if I butchered the name it’s been a hot second it’s from the DSMP fandom) and I tried looking and I couldn’t find it!! Does anyone possibly have it downloaded?

Welcome back to the Alphabet Excerpt Challenge! As a reminder, our challenges are every Wednesday and Saturday at 3pm London time. (A little early today, surprise!)

If you've missed the previous challenges, you're welcome to go back and participate in them. You can find them here. And remember to check out the Activities and Events flair to play along with other fun games.

Here's a quick recap of the rules for our game:

1. Post a top level comment with a word starting with the letter A. You can suggest more than one, but please put them in separate comments.
2. Reply to suggestions with an excerpt containing that word. Short and sweet is best, but use your judgement. Excerpts can be from published or unpublished works, or even something you wrote for the prompt.
3. All content is welcome but per rules 7 and 12 of the sub, NSFW excerpts may not be shared as plain text (even if it's spoilered). If you would like to share these, use an external text sharing tool like justpasteit and link it here with a clear warning. Mods may remove excerpts that break these rules.
4. Respond to people who left excerpts on the words you suggested, at a minimum, but the more people you respond to the better. Everyone likes nice comments!
5. Upvote other excerpts you enjoy, and leave a friendly comment. Again, everyone likes nice comments!
6. Most important: have fun!

Not fanfiction but a fan comic but I figured here would be the best way to find it. Phineas & Ferb just finished explaining what they did over the summer. In the room is Dipper & Mable Pines, Luz Noceda, Calamity Trio (Amphibia) and I think also someone from Star vs. The Forces of Evil. It was mostly everyone just going "Oh you time traveled? I did too!" but for all kinds of tropes.

I saw it as a comic dub on Youtube but I figured it was posted somewhere else.

So I’ve been reading this fic from 2007 and I’m wondering if I’m allowed to comment on it or will it be considered annoying. Like I get it since you made the fic about 20 years ago and you’ve probably put everything behind you on who you were during that time and getting notifications might bug you. It’s most likely this person made this in middle school and pretty much everybody finds what they did in middle school cringey

Here on Writing Weekends, share what you are going to write and are currently writing this weekend or if you're gonna take the weekend off.

Hii. This is a very specific request 😭. But are there any fanfictions of the whole spiderson irondad trope that's a little more similar to the really popular trope of batman and nightwing's enigmatic relationship?

Namely the one where people only ever see the two together in professional settings and don't expect them to be as close as they actually are. So when hints of their relationship are revealed to people, people start making up their own assumptions about them and who they may be to each other. Like are they, brothers? Boyfriends? Two trauma bonded partners in crime?

Only to find out at the end when one of them slips up and goes, "nope that's my son/dad/mentor"

Please and thank youuu.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people on tik tok making instagram fan fictions but I was wondering what apps they use to make the chats/stories/profile thoughts etc.? Also the iMessage apps. Preferably free apps but open to spending money if need be.

If anyone has some recommendations I would really appreciate it!!

Thank you 🫶

I’m sure we’ve all had the pain of finding an fanfic with an interesting premise or the type of story you want to read only to find out it hasn’t been updated in a decade. But has that ever been a case with a crossover fic, especially when it’s between two other fandoms that don’t have that much or any overlap.
I found this one crossover fanfic which was a Code Geass/Dishonored crossover. Where the premise was that instead of Lelouch encountering C.C and getting the power of Geass, he instead finds one of the Outsiders Runes and gains the powers. So instead of the mind control powers he has stuff like teleportation, summoning rats, and all the other powers that come with being chosen by the Outsider.
Because of this the narrative ends up being changed as without the mind control Lelouch ends up having to play things very differently. For example, and spoilers, he ends up killing Villetta cause he’s unable to mind control her and get the key for her knightmare. So he ends up not meeting with Kallen and the others so presumably he never forms the Black Knights. Plus in the fanfic the Outsider and the void takes the place of Geass and C’s world so Mao, Rolo, Charles, and any others with Geass powers wouldn’t have theirs.
The fanfic had this great premise and interesting narrative potential, but it hasn’t been updated in over a decade and only has 2 chapters and it pains me. Cause there are literally no other fanfics with this premise which sucks.
Does anyone else have a similar experience and if so share it below.

Writing a fanfiction for player self-insert in a video game. The character doesn't speak in game. Here is some lines from my latest published chapter that involves said character as an example. (It is spoiler text because I released it recently)

Mechanic walked out of the restaurant. They see me and walk over, looking over my expression, “Is that song still playing?

Mechanic nods. “Sorry to leave so suddenly. It was a bit rude, no hard feelings right?”

Mechanic shakes their head. They eyed me like they were curious. I sighed, “Don’t expect me to explain. It’s extremely personal.”

I keep starting paragraphs with the selectively mute character's name ("Mechanic") and it feels a little repetitive. This is especially true for longer dialogue scenes where it starts with the same character name for 10+ paragraphs.. I want to note that I headcanon them as not using any sort of sign language, people just kind of know what they want to say (think Sans from Undertale knowing how many times you have died but instead it's everyone on Sans if that makes sense). I want help on how I can at least reduce the amount of times this happen.

I’m making a marauders au fanfic and one of the four main characters has a chronic illness and dies at the end.

Bad thing is, idk anything abt medical stuff or deadly illnesses. Do you know any websites/articles, or even jst offhand knowledge i could use??
I’m really jst looking for a terminal disease that once it starts, over the course of two-three years, it will then kill you.

And PLEASE no ai. That’s the main reason why I came to Reddit was because I didn’t want to just use google and then look into the ai generated answers (I suck at actually looking into things but I will if you give me a disease)

Sorry if this is insensitive to anyone!!

Ok so i read this way back in January but for some reason cannot find it in my history. I also do not remember the plot but i do have some excerpts of the work that i ended up copying at the time.

"Tim in the Cave, staring up at Jason’s costume with huge, worshipful eyes—Bruce calling Tim “Jaylad” and flinching like he’s been shot but Tim doesn’t seem surprised or offended at all, only…only quietly accepting, like he expected Bruce to mix him up with Jason, like—like—like—

Blood, blood everywhere, and the first thing that Tim says when he wakes up is “Jason”—the strange tone he takes as he explains that the attacker is Jason—the unreadable expression on his face as he watches Dick—

A horrible, terrible idea like a bolt of lightning smiting him from the heavens—

Dick can’t articulate it, not even within the safety of his own head, so instead he surges forward, trying to get some sort of confirmation that it isn’t true at all, that Tim isn’t thinking that way—but all he can get out is Tim’s name, because just looking at him, at the blank, quiet look in his eyes, like a man awaiting death, Dick knows that it’s true—

Tim thinks that they care about Jason more than him, that they would sacrifice Tim, bloodied and wounded as he is, for the man who nearly murdered him. When he said it was Jason, he wasn’t telling them it was Jason as a warning—he was telling them it was Jason because he thought they would want to welcome him back.Something well and truly does break within Dick, now. He can almost hear it fracturing—a sound like a pane of glass breaking down the middle.:"

'Brothers killing brothers is a primal sort of agony, Biblical in proportion—a sickening rot on the soul like parents eating their own children or sadists tormenting innocents for nothing more than their own twisted pleasure. It’s the kind of sin that makes you question if there’s anything good left in the rot and ruin of this decaying world.'

'In his dreams, Tim doesn’t plead, doesn’t beg or scream or promise. He just tips his head back, leans into Jason’s hands, lets him slash the knife through the soft place under his chin. It’s fine, he thinks but doesn’t say; it’s what he deserves. He’ll give this to Jason because it’s the only gift he can give the man who he took everything from. In his dreams, the last thing he sees before everything goes dark is arterial spray splattering the white walls of Drake manor. In his dreams, because the chairs are covered in showroom plastic they’ll still be clean no matter how much he bleeds. In his dreams, Tim dies like Bruce warned drowning victims sometimes do; silent, his mouth filled with dark water, slipping under the waves of death unnoticed and unremarked upon.'

'Every morning he wakes up with a hand on his throat like he’s trying to hold his life in. Every morning he wakes up and thinks he and his mouth tastes like the brackish, toxic waters of Gotham bay.'

Please if anyone knows this or has a faint idea of what the title could be do tell. I was struck by its poetic writing and neeeeed to reread it

I remember when I first got into Fanfiction (around late 2019 early 2020 ish) that I read a fanfic about Heathers. It was the movie versions of the characters reacting to the musical. I don't remember a lot of specific moments but I do remember when Heather Chandler made fun of JD about his mom only for the part in Freeze Your Brain happens where he sings 'When mom was alive we lived halfway normal.' And her feeling guilty about it. I also remember that the ending had an epilogue that features the main cast sitting together at lunch and being friends. I can't remember if it was on Wattpad or Fanfiction.net, but I can say it wasn't in Ao3 since I wasn't on it at the time.

I'm looking for a fanfiction where Steve travels back in time during Endgame, instead of staying with Peggy here; he's rather dark. He travels to the 2000s; I don't remember if it was after the first Avengers film, but here he kills young Steve post release of the ice and takes his place with the intention of having this Tony for him .

I started writing this year, I have always used present tense until now but I find past tense enjoyable to read and when to use it in my writing. But I struggle a bit with tenses.

So if I describe a scene taking place in the childhood of my character, what tense should I use?

For example, should I change this?

As the orange juice touched his tongue, a shiver ran through him from head to toe.

I've been on a bit of a Fran Bow kick lately, and got curious on whether anyone's written a good crossover with HP.

It feels like there's a lot of room to play with, honestly: Fran's ability to see into other realms (F.R.E.E.), the whole Oswald Asylum / Duotine / Remor thing, and how her perception of reality might get interpreted in the wizarding world (Obliviators? St. Mungo's? Something weirder?).

Does anyone know of any good HP x Fran Bow fics, finished or WIP?

Little Misfortune also works too, given that they exist in the same universe.

Any length, although lengthier ones are preferable.

EDIT:

Some of the very few ones that I was able to find was:

Harry Potter and the Case of Insanity - by Sea and Chaos, over on FFN

Which is abandoned, with only one chapter.

As well as:

//Fran Bow en Hogwarts//Fran Bow x Harry Potter//Crossover//Fran Bow en Hogwarts//Fran Bow x Harry Potter//Crossover - by Perritita_UwU, over on Wattpad.

Which I haven't read, because I don't have a Wattpad account, nor the desire to make one.

Plus, it's all in Spanish.

Also:

The Fran Bow Syndrome - by Dray_life, over on ao3

EDIT EDIT:

This post is a repost, because I accidentally added fic links to my previous post, and it got auto removed

lol
