I never actually read this story itself but I was at Origins (convention for traditional games) and wasn't able to sleep one night so I spent the night reading and assembling miniatures and the security guard for the minis hall came up to me and started talking about his fanfiction. I think he said it was either called Comic Book Ultimate Battles or at a website called that? The highlights I remember: Cybermen attack Xmen characters causing Magneto to flashback to the Nazis and unleash all his power on the robot men Doctor Doom (comics) meets Doctor Doom (movies) and sees him as an impostor and they fight. Donald Blake dies so Thor instead finds a different doctor with a bad leg and now Gregory House hold the power of Thor.

As far as crossover fics go, they have the best chance to be absolutely hilarious, like the Harry Potter meets KITT from Knight Rider. And then there's some weird stuff. For example, Frozen has thousands of crossovers with something called Rise of the Guardians, which is 60% of all its crossovers. What the gently caress is it with the disney movies and fanfiction? The other recent movies also have thousands of crossovers with other disney movies. Speaking of, I can't find that Harry Potter Meets Knight Rider story. It was short as hell and consisted them finding KITT in the Chamber of Secrets and then going on adventures.

Rise of the Guardians is a Dreamworks movie about Santa, the Easter Bunny and a couple other similar people saving the world from nightmares. The viewpoint character is Jack Frost. Everyone on the internet decided that Jack Frost, being a vaguely anime lonely boy who had snow powers had to hook up with Elsa, the vaguely anime lonely girl who had snow powers. To its credit, Rise of the Guardians is one of the more entertaining things that Dreamworks cranked out, since it has gigantic Russian Santa beating up people with an army of yetis.

I think that had something to do with not many people remembering Rise of the Guardians since they were both out in the same year and neither were super successful. EDIT: Nope, it was 2010 and it was Legend of the Guardians: Owls of Gahool. Either way, it was pretty forgettable.

This rabbit hole is terrifying. Since 2001 when the ff.net admins outright purge all the blatant pornography and extreme violence stuff the community gets all up in arms and forms a new offsite repository. It was pretty weird because beside imposing new site rules in 2002, they clamped down for a few months at the time then did literally nothing for up to a decade, and when they did, the reason was "these rules have always existed". http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/FanFiction.Net_adult_content_purge_felt_across_fandom_two_weeks_on quote:According to alixe75 on LiveJournal's ffdotnetrants, FanFiction.Net deleted 2,002 Naruto stories, 1,497 Twilight stories, 1,256 Harry Potter stories, 670 Glee stories, 364 Inuyasha stories, 364 Hetalia - Axis Powers stories, 282 Kingdom Hearts, 213 Pokemon stories, 143 Yu-Gi-Oh stories, 127 Dragon Ball Z stories and 47 Doctor Who stories amongst others. rahirah on Dreamwidth provided another statistic, "Approximately 11% of all BtVS [Buffy the Vampire Slayer] stories were zapped. That may not sound like much, but FFnet is big - that comes to thousands of stories." feckless-muse on Dreamwidth reported the purge included banning users. Despite the purge, Alexa reports no drop in traffic to FanFiction.Net. So now there are a bunch of other somewhat large ff sites that blatantly cater to allowing that kind of stuff. quote:In response to the purge, users flocked to other sites and archives. Recommendations for sites included DreamWidth, LiveJournal, YourFanFiction.Com and An Archive of Our Own (AO3) haha, fanfiction sites can grow out of fashion.

Fire and Ice One night while drunkenly indulging in turbo boosts and a perm Michael Landon was jealous of, I googled "Knight Rider Fanfic". I found....that mess, that needs to be read to be believed. Basically, Michael had a chip implanted in him that lets him sense emotions/thoughts from KITT, and Michael and KITT fall in love. Then KITT becomes a full on cyborg and they get to gently caress. I'm not nearly as intoxicated as i was when i read this, so i don't feel like trying to find a sex scene to link to, but just imagine Mr. Feeny in them. Speaking of, there are a set of people that ship Mr. Feeny with people. The normal ones write sweet fics with him and the chick he marries during the college years. The creepy ones ship him with Eric. (Their relationship was weird, but I highly doubt ABC intended people to interpret that way).

Fanfiction about real people, like, youtube personalities, exists. This didn't bother me too much, but one day I found out that my most recent ex actually wrote it. Since she was an intelligent person and decent writer I found this kind of discomforting. Apparently some people really find it hot and intriguing that one youtube nerd can have their soulmate's name magically appear on their arm, and it just so happens that this soulmate is actually another youtube nerd.

bewilderment posted:Fanfiction about real people, like, youtube personalities, exists. That soulmate thing pops up in all sorts of fandoms, too. I have no clue where it started but it was a popular lazy plot device for a few years. I think the psychology behind crappy fanfic is interesting - in this case it's ~magically simple~ to find Twu Luv when it's emblazoned on your wrist and no-one has to stumble through the awkwardness of real life relationship building. You know, the challenging part to write! Phone posting so I don't have the link, but last year I read about the popularity of fanfic that got tweaked to be original and how it lead to fan sites turning into self-publishing companies. Once a couple "authors" got recognition everyone wanted their payday, too. Unfortunately it was still little truly original material and a lot of wankery, with a breakdown of fan circles in the process. I wish there were more information on infamous fan works prior to the internet. I know the origin of "Mary Sue" was some Star Trek story published in a 'zine. I've heard of a lot of what were effectively fanfics of Sherlock Holmes coming out contemporary to the time period (there was even a play where he got married, Doyle was basically IDGAF about it).

I wanted to share one particular author's work with you all because the depth of this man's insanity deserves further examination (and also because I hate myself and the things I used to enjoy). This man has written an absolutely baffling amount of My Little Pony fanfiction. I think it's upwards of ten million words at this point. http://www.fimfiction.net/user/BlackRoseRaven As you may already know from my highly questionable posting history I was a brony in a big way a while back, so I unironically enjoyed the first three of his 'novels'; looking back now, it's vaguely hilarious that I was so tolerant of the glaringly obvious problems. - The main character, 'Scrivener Blooms', is a transparent self-insert with a tragic backstory who marries both one of the princesses and the main character of the show. He's even got an edgy black-and-white color scheme to match. Later on he also turns out to be half dragon and has ~dark evil powers~. - The prose varies between acceptable and excessively, luridly purple. It's still better than most fanfics I've read, but that's about as backhanded a compliment can get. - Did I mention the average chapter in his later stories is over 10,000 words a pop? - The first story, Moonrise, is straightforward and not-batshit enough that it looks reasonable in contrast with what comes later. Scrivener Blooms and Princess Luna go off to explore some old ruins to retrieve some dangerous artifacts, Princess Luna's sister turns evil in the meantime, and when Luna tries to stop her she ends up being painted as the bad guy and banished. This sets the stage for A: torrid attempts at writing romance (since self-insert dude is the only person who knows she isn't evil) and B: the craziness to come. - Lunar Lights starts with pony-land turning into Norse mythology and ends with the princess binding her soul to the self-insert to save his life. Everything in between relies on you reading the first story and also being a brony. It's a somewhat typical weak middle act that only 'pays off' if you have the determination (or sheer bloody-mindedness) to read more of his work. - Starlit Knights continues on the path of Norse mythologising with the revelation that the pony princess sisters are actually Valkyries and the big bad evil dude behind everything is a giant dragon-man-god obsessed with storytelling devices and being a moustache-twirling villain. As sad as it sounds, I still like the final battle in this book, and I would be markedly less critical of this guy's work if he'd ended it with this story. I'd say "it's worth reading for the final battle alone" but that still involves wading through half a million words of MLP fanfic, which is way too high a bar for any sane person. Part of me almost wants to do a read-through but that probably breaks more rules than Something Awful even has. Just remember that there is always more and it is always worse. e: oh my god he's even published an actual novel where some Canadian dudebro *cough cough* finds a Valkyrie and has to help her ungulateman has a new favorite as of 19:41 on Jan 31, 2015 |

Having a 2nd person with college level literacy is enough to catch 98% of the problems with most stuff. A second set of eyes from someone who's not falling over themselves to fellate the author can do wonders. Apparently Patrick Rothfuss sent the PA guys a draft copy of Wise Man's Fear at the "literate" Tycho was the one crossing out entire pages and writing "this is loving terrible" while Gabe treated it as sacrosanct. The book was still published with some horrifically bad parts, but that's pretty much par for the course. People can write excellent prose and have really good ideas but they get away from themselves and produce some absolute garbage that they are so personally invested in nothing but a hardcore editor can make them change it.

Fallout Equestria is way more disturbing because the brony community absolutely loves it and its literally Fallout gore porn just with pony characters and using pony-related slang As per tvtropes, just a few examples of what they think of as good writing quote:Not much from My Little Pony gets this, but several aspects of the games (and, to some extent, those who play them) are given a good look through this lens. The Party-Time Mint-Als are an excellent example: a player would merely be annoyed by the stat drop caused by addiction, but seeing how it causes a schism between Littlepip and Velvet that indirectly ensures the death of Monterey Jack from the addict's point of view is a very sobering experience. "The scene where one pony ended up abusing drugs and another pony died was immensely powerful" quote:Littlepip narrowly escapes a gruesome fate at the tentacles of a pony Centaur in Chapter 31. "I'm so glad someone has finally given MLP the kind of serious and mature writing it deserves. quote:Littlepip's mother's tendency to alcoholism is mentioned in the prologue and summed up in Chapter 19, where Dr Helpinghooves gives it as a reason for Littlepip's tendency to addiction. "Finally, real world problems being given a serious and mature consideration in my pony gore fanfic" I'm desperately hoping that the brony culture consumes itself as the years go by and for some reason they can no longer find disenchanted and lonely men in their teens who developed an obsessive connection with a years old show about talking horses. Even better, there's a complete audio book of the fanfic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmJW7-5Vtiw Said narrator has also tried to engage the brony subculture in order to look better quote:This is generally a fun, kind, light-hearted subculture, filled with people who just like to enjoy themselves. We're a harmless bunch, and we enjoy doing good both amongst ourselves and for the world at large. That should be the message that we want to get across here. Particularly if they are first exposed to our ranks via an intentionally sensationalistic program such as "My Strange Addiction", the brony-naïve viewer is going to go into this thinking "Men? Men who like My Little Pony? What, are they gay or something?"-- and that's a best case scenario. Worst-case scenario, they might assume that we are sexually repressed or-- even worse-- pedophiles. We need to anticipate these misconceptions, and pre-emptively counter them. "WE MUST BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THEY DON'T THINK OF US AS PEDOPHILES!" is not something you would ever have to say unless your subculture was completely beyond hope. Jesus loving Christ this took literally 4 minutes to find after searching for Fallout Equestria.

Slime posted:How is it a side story if it's longer than the original thing? It's a spin-off. Fallout: Equestria: Project Horizons. I may have missed a : or two. It's also the source of all the accusations that Fallout: Equestria is full of rape. The original F:E is just violent. Fallout: Equestria: Project: Horizons is significantly edgier than its predecessor. It opens with the protagonist breaking up a lesbian tryst in the shower. Before the chapter is out, the protagonist breaks one of the Overseer's rape slaves out of rape slave jail. The Overseer is a child, by the way. This is just the first chapter. I'm amazed it's just the first chapter; it's over 10,000 words long. It doesn't handle its subject matter maturely. At a later point in the story the Overseer reclaims control over her rape slave and holds a conversation with the protagonist while punctuating. Every. Word. With. A thrust. This is not handled better than it sounds. In fact it's handled as well as it sounds, which is to say badly. It's there for shock value, which is really weird when this is, like, 30 chapters in and you'd think the novelty would've worn off. This is the same chapter in which the protagonist has to commit cannibalism to not blow her disguise and it's revealed the vault's food extruders recycle all biomass, including corpses. This chapter, like all others, drags like a motherfucker. Note how these characters being horses didn't come up. The protagonist is a wizard, in that she has magical powers and casts spells. Fallout: Equestria: Project Horizons cannot handle the concept of a chunk of it's cast being wizards, as no one uses their magic for anything else other than holding guns without their mouths. The central conceit introduced by being a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fanfiction is that the characters are horses. All it does is force the Fallout part to contort weirdly to adapt, and waste time with paragraphs explaining how Fallout concepts work with magical horses. I think I mentioned offhand that the story drags. Oh my god does it. It's not 1.6 million words because it's that action-packed. I'm not sure how to describe how it drags, but if you can believe me, it does. I may venture to blame our protagonist, because the entire story is first-person and she's a wordy rear end in a top hat. Fallout and My Little Pony are really far apart for a reason. They're too dissimilar in tone for a literal crossover like this. One franchise's literal magic and the other's 50's pop science can't be reconciled easily. If it is possible to mix the two, it'd have to be a Fallout story wherein a character discovers pre-war unflinching positivity, and how their addled brain processes it. A chem junkie thinks the ponies are real and tries to apply messages of friendship to the Wasteland? Something like that, maybe. It certainly isn't in Project Horizon's form: what the hell is the child owning sex slaves saying about the value of friendship, or the nature of mankind? The only message I can take is a metatextual one: that people are hosed up little hobgoblins for being able to enjoy this trite, and the confusion of shocking the audience with edginess and surprising the audience with an effective story still continues.

Being 15 and a virgin, he goes into the magical forest and has a lot of sex, and he's so good at sex that even the queen sex fairie is like "whoa slow down man, you're the best sexguy ever". He sees in a magic mirror that Deena is being beaten up by her MEAN JOCK boyfriend and goes "well, that's what you get when you don't pick the Nice Guy." Kvothe then sexes the queen sexfairy so well that she falls asleep and he escapes. Then he has even more sex with the "hyper-rational" pseudo-japanese Adem who are totally dtf 24/7, and after all this he still pines like a terrible nice guy after Deena. Then he meets Deena and is kind of a dick to her, and gets told to piss off, and gets super upset about it. Book ends, very little has happened. That didn't just need no editor, it needed an actively terrible editor. I'm still waiting for Rothfuss to release book 3 and go "SURPRISE, UNRELIABLE NARRATOR" because of the sheer endless shitshow that was The Wise Man's Fear. It's like Rothfuss just wanked all over the pages then sent them in. Now I know who to blame. gently caress you, Tycho. gently caress you forever.
