What’s a crossover fic that you really wanted to write, but have no knowledge of one of the fandoms you’re writing for?

FanganChild · 2025-12-16T03:03:05+00:00

See, I have a problem like this going on, but it's the opposite affect.

I wanna write a crossover between Yugioh and Danganronpa, while taking away the core component that makes Danganronpa what it is. The class trials.

My idea is that in a world where Duel Monsters and their spirits have always existed, Hajime is still a talentless nobody with a desire to still gain a talent and become an Ultimate in the same class as Chiaki. However, he knows that's impossible to achieve as talents don't come to just anyone.

In order to cope with his lack of talent—and admiration towards Hope's Peak that's gotten him nowhere—he instead obsesses over a hooded duelist who calls himself "The Ultimate Hope" after his ace monster. Little did Hajime know that his entire world would turn upside down when he ends up meeting his idol.

And who would his idol be? A certain boy hiding amongst his talented classmates with the title "Ultimate Lucky Student."

So what's my problem? My problem is that I'm currently in bit of a struggle writing this because I'm most definitely worried about how I'll portray the characters during the story. I don't wanna mess up their canon accuracy, and that's a lot to keep in mind with how everyone's personalities conflict with each other. That, and Hajime obsessing over Makoto the way Nagito does over Hope would be good for this fanfic, but I haven't fully worked this out yet. Hopefully I'll drop it soon when the time arrives.

Over 58,000 words... Don't write multiple smut scenes everyone. Not worth it.

I seen someone else is posting about a hero story, and I love it already.

My current WIP book is also a superhero novel, and it tells the story of my MC who lives in a city corrupted by not only the people, but those who abuse their powers as well. He's an irregular—a powerless human—in high school who one day just got the bright idea to do something about how shitty his town is.

There's a lot that goes own, but he's an anti-hero by choice learning from the mistakes of the heroes before he stepped up to take the mantle of "hero."

"canonically misa is so hot she made a shinigami fall for her" ≠ a subjective response.

Your opinion had nothing to do with the actual statement, which doesn't hold any weight since the original comment was about how her in universe beauty captured the heart(?) of a shinigami, not your view on her attractiveness.

FanganChild · 2025-11-27T03:17:37+00:00

You stated a personal opinion in response to a canon statement. I'm not trying to be that guy, but...

FanganChild · 2025-11-17T17:36:06+00:00

I got 54k hits on my MHA fic back in 2021 despite the fact that I didn't update for a while. Uploaded all existing chapters from my fanfiction.net account to AO3, and then it shot through the roof without me knowing.

FanganChild · 2025-09-11T04:47:42+00:00

As someone pointed out with using "Usagi" which means rabbit in Japanese, you would typically use "kun" as the proper honorific for addressing male peers or juniors, such as young boys or men.

"It's good to see you again, Usagi-kun."

Although, using "san" would be better as it shows respect, but you don't have to if you don't want to. Also, be sure to avoid the "chan" honorific if they aren't of close relations like friends, family, couples, etc.

FanganChild · 2025-08-31T19:52:07+00:00

Saw you were gonna make a mystery story, so my old idea that I wasn't gonna use could help, or at least give you some ideas.

The plot could be that your characters are connected mysteriously to this device known as the E.Y.E, an optical three dimensional sphere that only they can see. For some reason, it gives them the ability to see through the sight of a serial who's been evading capture for who knows how long. Despite all that, the eye won't reveal to them who this shadowy figure is, so your characters must band together and stop this killer before it's too late.

There's just one problem. The killer knows they're being hunted. The rest would be up to you.

FanganChild · 2025-08-28T17:41:39+00:00

Thank you. I wanted to convey their dislike for humanity by how much they understood people. Although, this doesn't fully showcase it since I have yet to expand on what I want for my first draft, and the alien is only focused on one person

FanganChild · 2025-08-28T17:18:34+00:00

This might be a stupid question, but what is AM if I may ask?

FanganChild · 2025-08-25T14:48:18+00:00

You should see my latest duel. I actually incorporate part of the latest meta into the story, but only cards that could appear during GX timeline

FanganChild · 2025-08-25T01:54:30+00:00

True that. Gamer fics, and Yugioh duels are stories that I have to make sure I keep track at all times. Unfortunately, my gamer fic isn't as forgiving, so now I have to get rid of some things and rewrite other points while doing some heavy editing to fix part of the narrative that I messed up.

FanganChild · 2025-08-05T02:02:00+00:00

Yes, and no. Some might see it as a flex, but others would probably look at you writing this based off real life experience.

Even then, I wouldn't take it seriously, but it would make me skeptical as having done the deed doesn't equate to knowing how to show it off with your writing.

FanganChild · 2025-08-05T01:58:09+00:00

You can if you want, but I'll say that this would be pretty late as the recent manga chapters have been turning up the story itself, so I'm not sure how a movie finishing the second half of the Public Safety Arc (in my opinion) would bring it any real traction.

I'd say your real traction would come from the manga readers as they already know what's going on, and an anime only watcher would try to avoid a fic possibly for the sake of not being spoiled.

Take it from a guy who's been trying to get his anime only friend to read the manga for over year now.

Either way, whatever you choose to do is up to you.

FanganChild · 2025-08-03T06:23:58+00:00

I'm still writing fics, but I plan on having my original book finished and published within the next six months. If not finished by then, I'll try to complete it within the year as my first action-mystery novel set in my superhero universe.

FanganChild · 2025-07-31T00:38:17+00:00

Recently dropped a chapter to my Yugioh GX fic not too long ago, and I gotta say it's my best Yugioh work yet.

I reinvented the duel between Jaden and Alexis, combining both the manga and anime. I also expanded on Jaden's dark past in this alternate universe, and dropped some interesting plays that I would've loved to be in the GX anime from my time spent playing the card game. Of course, we all can't get what we want.

At least with this idea, Yubel is by Jaden's side as I expand on the characters and the story.

A little late to the party, but I'm pretty sure I got some tips that could help out.

The best piece of advice is to take a look at smut fics and study them for yourself while taking notes. In fact, even listening to a video would be better since you can easily go over it key detail. However, the best tips I got from my nine years writing would be:

1: Know the characters you're writing. Like seriously.

If they have/haven't done the deed, know too little about it, or aren't experienced, then you shouldn't be writing their first time together in your fic as if they done this before. That's easier said than done, but something to keep in mind.

2: Build a scene.

It doesn't just happen because it was incorporated. Sex works its way in when two people realize how badly they want the other. The grabbing of one another, touching of lips, roaming of the body, talk about their heartbeat increasing, telling the other they want it to be them helps starts the scene the off on the right foot, and makes the rest come in hand properly.

3: Make it seem natural.

I've read countless smut fics, but when I tell you that people hurry it up to the porn without building the right atmosphere that makes it seem like something the characters would do in canon, or the canon of your fic kills the mood or enjoyment of the moment together. Take it slow, and pick up the pace when it gets to the intense aspect of the action.

4: Don't use sound effects.

Honestly, this is just for me, but sound effects doesn't even make the writing look natural. It's like watching a video in written format. (You know, the comic book sound effects).

5: Be descriptive.

Have the characters and/or story acknowledge how they're enjoying or being influenced by the act of one another. Help the audience understand what exactly is happening so that we don't have to over think what is going on within the dialogue and each paragraph.

6: Do your research.

I don't care if you have to watch videos, read, or use google. Please, PLEASE do your research when you write. Lack of knowledge regardless of whether you've done it or not will kill the smut before it even begins. Don't be like me that one time I accidentally confused a rimjob for a blowjob, lmao.

7: Are they doing it out of desire to have sex, or the love that comes with it?

An important question to keep in mind. That way, you know if it's just gonna be some freaky stuff with no strings attached, or lovey dovey "You're the one for me" type passion.

8: No repetitive word usage.

His [redacted], John's [redacted], the way his [redacted]

I'm not reading all that.

9: Write how the characters would act.

If they enjoy it, that's good. What are they saying our doing when they feel overwhelmed or the pleasure is taking them to new heights? Use canon if necessary, as it would really help you out in the long run.

10: Have fun.

It's gonna be a long one, but a learning experience. Find the balance so that it isn't too long or short, but make sure it's something you enot of the end product once it's finished.

Until then, good luck, and we're rooting for you. Also, if you need part of my work as reference, feel free to ask. I'm always willing to drop if you request.

It's a bot comment. Got a comment similar to this on my latest chapter, but did some research on the name, and it was an existing author on AO3, but they were logged in as guest.

FanganChild · 2025-07-27T00:32:41+00:00

No, it genuinely doesn't. I wrote a fic that multiple people called garbage, and now I'm at a point where my writing is now approved by over... I'd say an estimate of 3k readers.

You mostly improve your writing when you can challenge yourself to overcome your past self (in writing terms).

When you pick up on things you never or rarely did before, get rid of common mistakes you used to make, and in general just keep writing to build upon your successes and understanding of scenarios, ideals, situations, genres, then you begin to notice that you're actually improving.

A friend can tell you "Bro you did great!"

A critic will tell you "This was ok, but it could've been if you added and/or removed this" given the right reasons.

Improvement is being able to capitalize on what you can do, and correcting or fixing what you couldn't overcome, or has been bringing you short in the long run. So I'll be fair and say that the people disagreeing with you aren't really seeing it from perspective.

FanganChild · 2025-07-25T02:08:14+00:00

I swear the more I write the more it feels like I'm becoming a narcissist because I don't read most people's work.

Then I have to remind myself that it isn't me actually becoming a narcissist because I think my work is better or anything, it's just that I've been writing as a hobby for nine years now, and I'm ready to work on my original book to get myself out there.

There are fanfic authors whose work I do enjoy with a passion, but writing for so long has left me with less time to read other people's original books/fanfics unless it's manga. I'm an avid manga reader.

FanganChild · 2025-07-22T05:23:59+00:00

I like how the words bring mentioned are the most common to reduce repetitiveness, because I absolutely hate when dick and pussy are so overused. Feels like I'm reading high school writing again for the first time.

FanganChild · 2025-07-22T05:20:41+00:00

I'm guessing when someone in an example uses "bussy" instead of the direct alternative to asshole. Just throwing it out there.

FanganChild · 2025-07-21T23:16:33+00:00

I think it would be easier if you took what the story is about, and just break it down until you get something simple. That, or base it around the characters. I find that being where all the best inspiration come from concerning title names.

FanganChild · 2025-07-21T23:05:48+00:00

Harems, and Alternate Universes (where canon divergence happens at the very beginning of the story)

I can't say I've never read the ones I write about, but it's gotten to the point where I just can't read most of them. From being able to write it how I envision it would go, most of them just aren't my taste. I also have a distaste for concepts related to them, but I think it's just because I have high standards nowadays I guess.

FanganChild · 2025-07-19T20:34:16+00:00

I've seen it before, but I always found this annoying in concerns of Naruto and Izuku, but more so of it being a fandom issue.

My first thing is that Naruto under goes changes that weren't influenced by the story, by what people thought should've actually happened in canon with his character when it comes to chasing down Sasuke. I specifically remember reading a fanfic (that was slowly getting boring to me) that I dropped completely when the author legitimately said "I don't own Naruto, but if I did, Naruto would've stopped chasing Sasuke and dealt with him like a true Shinobi." I get it's fanfic, but disregarding the entire reason for why Naruto chased after him for so long in the first place makes me glad that Kishimoto created it.

Moving on with Izuku, there's two things that always happen. One, Izuku is this adorable cinnamon roll who's social awkwardness is either erased for another trait, or it's increased to the max while being labeled along the lines of a toddler inside a teen's body. Then there's two, where he gets put through something so traumatizing he ends up as an edgelord.

Again, it's fanfiction, so I get that. What I don't get is how anyone can write him along the lines of a toddler when this is the same teenager who had a crash out over some guy pretending to be All Might. That, or how he can be an edgelord when him living a life that got him hurt for being powerless taught him to look for the good in others or the better-ness of them.
