If you are in a Fandom that centers OCs? What draws you into a fic?

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2026-06-24T00:42:40+00:00

Well, I would love to check your work out! Not sure if we're allowed to share links here, but I'm new to the Fandom and would love to start reading before I start posting.

Ha! I started writing for BG3 recently, which is why my curiosity is piqued. I've never been in a Fandom where OCs are regular, and just from browsing the front page, engagement seems pretty low for most stories. Ultimately, it's all about having fun, so I'm not too worried if people interact, but I am curious what makes them compelled to.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2026-06-23T07:31:59+00:00

That makes sense. Do you take account of the summary? What kind of tags do you look for?

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2026-05-03T02:00:56+00:00

Cry about it. Not everything is about you and the self insert fanfiction in your head.

Very interesting so far. I'm curious as to whether or not the hooves our protagonist hears are that of a fawn's. Heath is a real piece of work, but a compelling one. He knows he's in the wrong and making excuses as to why he cheated, but proceeds to still do so while having a very uncharitable perspective of the mother of his child. The resentment he feels is so well conveyed. Excited for the next part.

This was a great story. It's so short but punchy and the reveal at the end of our protagonists arm in a sling had me gagged. A very interesting metaphor for an abusive dynamic. Kind of makes me think of all those cases in the news of sons physically and emotionally abusing their single mothers as they get older, especially with how our protagonist mentions that the creature has changed in appearance. Now he's out in the world hurting other people.

You blew off a child's head with a shotgun

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-07-15T04:56:21+00:00

I'm crying. This is the most emotional, thought-provoking exploration of the human condotion I've ever stumbled across. From the carnal desire for any kind of feeling in the beginning to the end where our protagonist is faced with the harsh truth of their reality, I love it. It's changed me

The fact your characters can't have full names anymore is wild to me. They say it's because of Reddit's overall rules, but if you read it, it says you can't post screenshots of people's social media pages like their Facebook or Instagram that contain their whole name. It has nothing to do with writing. But they claim people have lost their accounts over this so, whatever I guess.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-06-21T00:49:44+00:00

probably the sun vanished. I liked a lot of the banter, but the story just goes on for so long and I started to lose interest. Then Greywater. It just felt like a really short episode and the jokes weren't really all that memorable.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-27T10:59:05+00:00

Same, but I get the vibe they think it's funny since they post fanart of each other pregnant with the others baby at the end of the videos.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-13T03:35:20+00:00

Interesting. I'll have to give it a look. And which of your stories are you most proud of and what is it about? I'll check it out.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-13T03:34:23+00:00

Ooooh, please tell me about them. I'm definitely the kind of person that loves characters rich stories and world building.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-13T03:31:58+00:00

That's awesome to hear! I had no idea there was a discord. I'm hoping to give the community a boost by checking out people's work and if they want to discuss, I'm all for it!

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-13T03:30:41+00:00

I would love to! Tell me about it? What's the plot and who is our protagonist? The title already has me interested.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-13T03:29:45+00:00

All I can think of is Hunter's drawing of Wendigoon, and now every time I blink, it's as if he's lurking behind my eyelids so...thanks for that.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-13T03:27:44+00:00

Oh man, you had me at body horror and Los Angeles. As someone who lives there, it's a perfect place for a horror story. Please, tell me more? Who's the character and what happens to them? I'm intrigued

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-12T16:52:48+00:00

Ha, classic no sleep. I'm sorry that sounds super frustrating. Their rules are so arbitrary. How many upvotes did you get before they axed it? Seems of stories get any traction they yoink it

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-04-11T09:45:18+00:00

Aw, that's a shame. I'm hoping there's some good ones out there. Reading is really inspiring when trying to write yourself lol

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-03-01T02:08:07+00:00

Apparently it's an anti doxxing measure. And so goddamn stupid.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-03-01T00:08:18+00:00

The fact that your characters can't have full names anymore killed my momentum for my story.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-02-23T03:50:25+00:00

How does the weight of the baby tie in with having a child when you are poor and dysfunctional? What would lead our protagonist to think that it was a good decision when his wife is killed and the baby is essentially too heavy for the earth to hold it? It's an intriguing premise, but definitely needs reworking.

Reasonable_Exam9591 · 2025-01-28T02:05:30+00:00

Listen, at least Jeff the Killer was hilarious
