Discussion OC's in Fanfiction

41 Upvotes

I'm curious.

I've seen some negative opinions on having original characters in your fanfiction, but was there ever a fanfiction you read that had OC's that you genuinely enjoyed reading about? And what was it about them that you liked?

i literally posted my first ever fic a few days ago and some oddly loud part of my brain keeps telling me its gonna get a million hits/views in a day or some insane thing like that...mind you its a unpopular ship in a fandom that honestly hates(hate is the wrong descriptor but its strict over there which i totally understand bc the fandom doesnt have a good track record generally with most ships) any ship that isn't popular. i literally know all of this but whatever delusional part of me thats telling me otherwise needs to quiet down. i need a real reality check bc its getting out of hand.

how to not be a delusional writer 101?

Discussion Escribir acción se me dificulta, pero el romance no tanto.

• Upvotes

Hola comunidad. Es mi primera vez aca jeje.

Desde hace 15/18 años comencé a escribir fanfics....en ese momento me gustaba mucho el anime y el comic japonés...anime que me gustaba, me obligaba a escribir un fanfic poniéndome a mi como nuevo protagonista jejejeje.

Lo deje por muchos años, hasta hace pocos años en dónde volví pero ahora con historias basadas en Canción de hielo y Fuego, o Game of Thrones.

Dado la temática medieval de GOT, en mi mente siempre creo las escenas de grandes batallas de ejércitos, duelos con espadas o batallas Navales o dragones. En mi mente se ven muy bien...pero cuando tomo lápiz y papel, se me dificulta mucho escribir.

Pero con el romance no tanto.

De hecho hace una semana terminé un capítulo de un baile entre un OC y Sansa Stark, Sansa es mi personaje favorito, que me gustó mucho y creo que fue fácil de escribir. Me senté frente a la PC....y comencé a escribir y las ideas y palabras venían a mi.

Pero realmente quiero escribir una buena batalla, hasta ahora digo que ocurrieron o uso frases como "choque de espadas" "el caos era..."

Shout-outs & Celebrations! My LOTR OC exists in someone else's imagination now and I'm emotional

Okay, I need to share this with people who will probably understand how excited I am hahaha.

A girl made a piece of fanart of Emma, the main character of my Lord of the Rings fanfic. And just when I was still trying to process the fact that someone had actually drawn a character who came out of my head... SHE MADE ANOTHER ONE! 😭

I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting, but this makes me so incredibly happy.

I think we all know that writing OCs comes with its own challenges. There are certain stereotypes (like every OC being a "Mary Sue" or a self-insert, or not really feeling like they belong in the universe...).

So this is such a strange and wonderful feeling. 😭

Anyway, I wanted to share these drawings because I think they're absolutely beautiful, and because I'm way too happy to keep this to myself hahaha.

All credit goes to @consumerorstars ❤️

Thank you for giving my Emma a face!

Self-Promotion The Whisper That Pierces Rigel

Available here with slightly less atrocious formatting:
https://www.wattpad.com/1664177580-the-emblem-of-the-heart-the-whisper-that-pierces

Visit my Reddit / WattPad profile or DM me if you're interested in more content.

 

Excerpt:

In the realm of Duma's throne — where shadow thickens around pride, and love has grown cold, on a dominion and heart made of stone.

Duma and his sister, Mila, are gods, divine dragons, who rule the land of Valentia.

They pledged not to interfere with one another, reluctantly, and because of this, he rules the northern kingdom of Rigel with an iron fist, the weak in chains or thrown unto death, believing strength is the only way to prevent corruption, while Mila insists compassion and provision are what will bring prosperity, and she rules Zofia, to the south, protecting her people.

The Zofians are her own, given to her by the Most High, or so she says.

Though she is a goddess, a divine dragon, like Duma, her brother, she doesn't demand their service or their souls, despite that they are "beneath" her.

She entreats him, time, and time again, that there is a God in Heaven...

...that humans are worthy of "love"...

...though they are too weak and useless to survive on their own.

Even now, she resists him in battle, his deference finally absent, his nation having grown powerful, accomplishing nothing more than to display her futility and frailty, herself soon to be destroyed, as her exhaustion leads to slumber and her impotence to death.

The influence of another is now at work in Duma, unbeknownst to him, the one called the ancient Serpent, even, the "Dragon", though, he is not a divine dragon as he or Mila are.

Yet, the One he doesn't know, speaks.

Hey there, I got a few hobbit stories going on both FF.net and Ao3 (Ao3 are the same ones on FF except with NSFW chapters)

I was wondering if I put. A link for it here, if people would be interested in it and giving some feedback?

I don't get much feedback on either, mainly scammers, which are so infuriating.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll post a link to my profile on both sites xx

I didn't write it but I really liked it it, reminded me of Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, its doesn't exactly use characters from the books though, it's just the setting is the Harry Potter Wizarding World, it's a cosmic horror kind of thing.

Ok so basically I have this fanfic idea in my head, I know exactly what I want the plot to look like, I can picture scenes in my head, I know what characters I want to include, I have a basic plan written out and I even have quotes I want to include but every time I go to write anything its like my brain just dies and I cant put any words to paper. Its so frustrating because I know exactly what I want but I just cant seem to put it into words. If anyone has any ideas on how I can get out of this writing stump please help!

Seeking Feedback, Ideas, or Opinions Looking for a Beta Reader for My OC-Centric AU Fanfic Projects!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 😊

I'm looking for a beta reader who would be interested in helping me develop and polish some of my fanfiction projects, particularly my AU stories centered around original characters (OCs).

I'm hoping to find someone who enjoys discussing ideas, character development, worldbuilding, plot structure, and the dynamics between canon characters and OCs. I'd love to have someone I can exchange ideas with, get constructive feedback from, and work with as my stories develop.

I'm open to suggestions and constructive criticism, and I'd be happy to discuss what kind of feedback works best for both of us. Ideally, I'd love to find someone who shares my enthusiasm for character-driven stories and AU concepts!

The fandom in question is BNHA.

If you're interested, feel free to comment or send me a DM. I'd be happy to tell you more about my projects, the fandoms involved, and what I'm currently working on.

Thank you for reading!

Trying to brainstorm what fan fic would generate the most readers!

Edit: Sorry i didn't make this clear, i'm writing a fan fic for a class project and was leaning towards doing smut since i engage with that most but the assignment is to garner the most attention. Sorry for the confusion.
