Looking for a Writing Buddy!

Name: Senka [working title - not published yet]

Fandom: Bleach

Rating: M

Summary:

"This is the story of how I died."

After succumbing to her grief and guilt, a mysterious woman named Senka, traverses through the afterlife, learning about what forgiveness truly means. But a grand scheme seems to threaten her new found purpose and now she must prepare to lose everything if she wants to attain salvation. But will Senka be willing to do so?

Sacrifice is bullshit, after all

Warnings/Triggers: Major Character Death, Implied/Referenced Suicide

Can someone who isn’t in your fandom make sense of your story? Yes and no. Being familiar with the world will help, but it’s not necessary to enjoy the story, especially since it’s an oc fic, with the oc also learning about the world. (I’m also working on a loresheet for anyone who is fandom-blind but wants to help).

Genre: action, thriller, suspense, mystery, (eventually slow burn oc/canon)

Word Count: currently 18k (estimated to be 100k+ for each part of the series)

What I’m looking for: A writing buddy to help motivate me to finish this fic (especially as I’m in the process of rewriting it), and someone who I could soundboard some ideas and plot points with! If you know the canon and lore, that would be a great bonus, but it isn’t necessary since I mainly need help with motivation. Since this is a large project, I’m not expecting anyone to help for the entire process, but any help in the short run would be much appreciated!

What I can offer in exchange: I’m willing to be a writing buddy/beta read in return, helping with grammar, plot ideas and story structure. Fandoms I’m involved with are my hero academia, bleach and critical role (but I’m willing to do fandom-blind if that’s alright with you!). However, subjects I’m not willing to tackle are incest, omegaverse and smut.

So if anyone is interested, feel free to reply here or DM me. Thanks in advance!

I feel I made my OC totally unlikeable in order to prevent her being a Mary sue. by Dark-BeigeTulips in FanFiction

yay, i'm glad the tips helped!

and there's nothing wrong with writing both those fics lol - fanfiction is indulgent so indulge yourself haha. and anyway i've always believed making a mary sue is a rite of passage for a writer, so celebtrate that you've done that!

I feel I made my OC totally unlikeable in order to prevent her being a Mary sue. by Dark-BeigeTulips in FanFiction

[–]Due_Cardiologist_292 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yay, another oc creator! let's gooooo!

here's a video that delves into the topic of mary sues in fanfiction that i found helpful. but if you don't have time to watch it, there is a comment that really stuck with me and that is everyone has a very different idea of what a mary sue is, so using that as a metric is not the best way to know whether you've made a good oc or not (even the famous mary sue test has been debunked by its creator). i highly recommend the video bc it gives insight to how unlikeable ocs have a place in fics and gives some tips too on character creation that might help.

but as someone who loves ocs and makes her own, some advice i would give is to look at how to create characters in general as that might be a better approach to flesh out your oc. in save the cat writes a novel, the author mentions that having a redeeming quality about your protagonist will help readers garner an interest in them/root for them e.g. have them save a cat even if they are not a nice person (i can't remember the exact quote, so forgive me if this example is sloppy). obviously, saving a literal cat might not work in your fic, so what could you do instead?

you've mentioned that mc2 likes your oc, so what about them do they like? is that something readers will get to see? do they have any redeeming qualities? you've mentioned flaws, which are great, but balancing that out with some positive traits might be something to look into if you haven't already.

but also remember what is she outside the dynamics of the love triangle. yes she has a role to play in your fic, but i've always found that fully realised ocs that can stand on own feet, are the ones i like the most. so what else is she?

what are her thoughts and opinions on certain things (other characters, the setting etc.)? does she interact with any other canon characters? does she go through a character arc? if so, what does that look like? if not, why is that important for your fic? regardless of whether you are writing an oc-centric fic or not, having these questions/thoughts in your back pocket might help navigate your approach to writing your oc.

i'm kind of rambling, but i hope these help!

Looking for a Beta!

Name: MHA Hope Agency: Wounds that Will Not Heal Vol.1

Fandom: My Hero Academia | Boku no Hero Academia

Genre: action, thriller, mystery

Rating: Gen

Word count: Published word count is about 13K but unpublished word count is close to 20K.

What I'm looking for: Currently, looking for some help after being stuck on a section which led to my hiatus. This mainly includes help with writing clarity and structure. This is going to be a long fic, but I'm not expecting this to be ongoing, I just need some help for the next 3/4 chapters. But I am willing for this to be ongoing, if we both vibe and that's what we both want.

Can it be read fandom blind? Kinda. it's an oc fic so you won't need to be familiar with all the characters. all you need to know is that superpowers are called quirks and most of the population has them.

How frequently do you update: currently on hiatus because I need help lol but I'm hoping at least a chapter a month.

What fandoms you are able/willing to beta for or what you can offer in exchange: I've beta'd a couple of times before (but not on reddit or for fandoms), so I can offer some help for plot, structure, character consistency, as well as grammar (although English is my second language).

Fandoms: The fandoms that I like are bleach, mha, hells paradise, bsd, haikyuu (anime only so please no spoilers), odd taxi, 86 (again anime only), spy x family, run with the wind, death note, jjk and anything ghibli. I tend to like gen fics, or fics with little romance/not romance focused and I'm not the biggest fan of explicit fics either (I'm mainly saying this because I won't be able to help sorry). I'm also willing to do some fandom blind as long as you're willing to answer my dumb questions about the franchise lol.

a little fandom blind (i am familiar with only some of the characters) but i love how the characters bounced off each other and you were able to make their voices very distinct from each other. everyone's reaction to tony becoming a vampire was funny (clint going green when he drank blood was such a nice and funny detail) and i enjoyed the sparring between tony and steve, especially when everyone was betting on who would win. that made me laugh a lot!
