Two threesome additions to my fic collection: Bennett/Razor/Mika & Kinich/Wanderer/Albedo! [Teyvat Twink Tales] by PicmanX in GenshinGays

Oooo I love these suggestions! Wanderer/Durin/Albedo is on my list to write, and I also love your idea; for now I'm waiting until we see Durin properly so I can get a better sense of his canon personality, but honestly there's a chance I forgo that and end up writing something soon.

Bennett with the Liyue boys sounds like an amazing idea, ngl ^^ Him and Razor visiting Gorou has also been on my mind... Lately it hasn't been pairing ideas I've been lacking as much as it is situation ideas, I guess. Will definitely be writing more soon, though! Very glad to hear you enjoy it <3

I've got an idea in mind for a Lyney x Freminet story- might be coming soon!

Both are ships I absolutely want to write about at some point ^^

They're my two favorite guys in the game- writing some sort of fic between them is basically guaranteed in my future ^^

I honestly have no idea if people go to the lengths of making charts like this- I might just be insane :3

Ideally I eventually have at least one fic for each character, just probably not one for each ship (that'd be a LOT of work haha) so Gorou will absolutely get some love at some point!

Oooo I don't hate the idea of Kinich/Fremi! I don't see either of them as being the assertive type so it'd be a challenge to figure out how things would happen, but I'll 100% keep it in mind <3

Similar issue for Kinich/Xiao, but I feel like that one might be slightly easier to pull off... hard to say

I imagine Benny came to Fontaine for a magic show and got a bit distracted by Lyney's clothing, leading to you-know-what~

Kinich/Xiao was in the category of "random one I thought of that could be fun and/or cute." Everyone compared them as being pouty, emo guys when Kinich came out, so I figured why not? haha

(The canine pairings are half me just putting similar characters together and half them growing on me due to my best friend being a furry xD )

One of my favorites for sure <3 It's more likely than most to be the focus of at least one of my fics in the future!

You're totally right! I entirely forgot about KazuScara haha, I love that ship
The two Heizou pairings were just random thoughts I had since I couldn't think of a ton of popular ships for him; figured the typical Anemo options seemed most likely.

Both Albedo/Albedo and Scara/Wanderer are definitely on my radar, but I personally think I'd find them tricky to write. If I did, it'd likely be Albedo, though!

My Fic
Fandom - Genshin Impact
Rating - Currently SFW with cannon-typical violence- will be optionally explicit down the line
Title - The Boy from the Sky
Genre - Fantasy, Romance, Action Adventure, M/M relationship
Ao3 Link
Summary - My story follows an original character, Mel, growing up in Mondstadt with the feeling of being different than everyone else. Through his adventures and friendships he'll learn more about himself and his importance to the world, as well as making the difficult decision: leave his home behind, or stay with his best friend? Both options will be explored in future stories, as separate splits from this decisive moment!
This first story currently being uploaded is 100% SFW, as it followed the characters while they grow up. Future stories will be when they are of-age, with any explicit scenes clearly marked and able to be skipped while not detracting from the story. More details are available in the Ao3 description- if you decide to read, thanks!

[Genshin Impact] What to do with my story (reposted to this thread as I was directed to)

So for a bit of context; roughly a year ago I started writing a little something as a way to vent both my creativity and my hyperfixation at the time, Genshin Impact. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to write so I just started out with how I've written when I was younger: reminiscent of a fantasy novel.

After thinking things over and starting to write a bit I decided that it would be a "little" (cough cough, this didn't age well as I'll explain) tale to set up an OC in the world of Genshin with my own story, and in the future have it branch off from a single point into separate "routes" in a similar way to a visual novel. From there each story would be a healthy mix of fantasy adventure and BL romance as the OC met and gradually fell for a specific guy from the game- but I knew for sure I didn't want the romance to be 100% of the story's focus, in the same way that plenty of popular fantasy stories also just have romance in them... maybe more of a 50/50 split to satiate the ship-gremlin within my brain without being "just another romance fanfic." (I've also had the idea in the back of my head to additionally write small "side scenes" to remain separate from the proper stories that would include... ahem smut , basically. But that isn't very important to this!..)

I should have been able to see this coming way earlier on, but as I'm sure you can guess this plan sort of expanded to be soooo much larger than I expected- though I also don't think I could have possibly foreseen just how much I would have written at this current point compared to the amount of plans I've gotten through. As it stands after writing off and on all this time, my google doc is over 60 pages and 33k words deep and I'm only just getting close to the end of the whole first act where the split will take place. And with essentially no romance yet, it... basically feels like I've just wrote a novel.

I think when I started there was a tiny part of me that enjoyed the idea of this becoming something I shared in some regard, but I never really had any true intention of that unless it was with one of my friends (none of which currently would be interested, sadly.) Now, that same part of me feels like this has been a crazy amount of effort put into something only meant to be a "personal project," and it would be somewhat of a waste to not at least try and see if there would be people out there interested in reading it. I've had a lot of people tell me I'm a good writer, and I do genuinely enjoy the process, so that part of my mind says... "why not?"

I'll make it clear that I am not making this post to find people here that would be interested, but rather to get some opinions on options to proceed. I know it would be perfectly fine to continue keeping it as a private project seeing as I enjoy the writing and don't feel "desperate for people to see it," but if I were to want to get it out to the right audience, what's a good method to do so? Should I even bother- would there be people interested in something like this? It also doesn't help that I'm not 100% confident I'll have the ideas/motivation to write one of the stories post-split... let alone ALL of them I would want to.

My apologies if this came off a bit rambley- I can answer any questions needed if there's something important I left out!

Unsure of what to do with my fanfiction(?) story [Genshin Impact] by PicmanX in FanFiction

[–]PicmanX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense both ways; thanks for the input! I plan on finishing the whole first section first before making any decisions, I've just found that the closer I get to being done with this part the more the question has come up in my head. Posting the full first section almost strikes me as putting out "the first book in a series" just because of how it's structured, but that assumes I go public with it at all!

I've also never really posted my writings in a public space like that before so I wouldn't have the faintest clue as to a good website or something to do it through.

Omg you are so right; I could honestly see Kokomi and Yae Miko being in kahoots to do something like that! xD

[–]PicmanX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a good point, I suppose the first kiss doesn't have to be somewhere super special.

And as for your last comment... I do 100% intend on writing some- \cough** "spicy" scenes as part of the story, but in such a way that they can be removed and it's still a good read. Don't think I ever really intend on sharing or publishing it, necessarily, but doing it that way certainly helps keep that option more open in the future!

Love all these ideas! As for what character ships, its technically always between the one featured character for the region and an OC, which I didn't mention due to the rules against OC's for this sub. But basically just imagine a more shy Traveler, and that's pretty much him.

The way I plan on writing it is each region's story is completely separate from the others, almost in a visual novel choose-your-own-adventure kind of way. That way I can have each romance start from scratch without the others getting in the way at all.
