Where to Post Fan Fiction?

General Discussion General Discussion

Not here, and not FanFiction.net. What I’m writing has no relation to GB.

I’ve been working on a piece that slowly has started turning into a novel by length. It bugs me that is seems I can only count on one reader when it’s finished. I’ve posted fan fiction to my DeviantART account before a few times, and it never gets noticed unless it’s in comic form. As far as posting to FF.net goes ..my account is just collecting dust with the attention it gets from others.

I did try posting to a specific fandom forum with the last piece of fan fiction I wrote and that went no where except another user tossing out my work and promoting his in review. Any advice where I should be posting when I’m done my current project? DA and FF will see it, but as I said. No readers. That only reader I know I have is my boyfriend who has been encouraging the project.

There is a section of this site for fan fiction, but I think it has to be GB related. Not sure where you could get actual readers…

I’ll read it and give you feedback, if you want. Just send me a link. Maybe there are others here who will volunteer as well?

The hardest thing is the world is to get people to read amateur writing and give feedback. I have a Wordpress site full of old pieces of my writing but like you said, it’s cobwebs over there. Here is the link, just in case you want to check it out.

What franchise is the fan fiction based on, SC?

Um, before I state a true reply to what you guys have said in answering, could some one tell me what I did wrong :frowning: ? For months my karma has been at 3, and now I’m assuming this thread is a bad one because now my karma is at 2.

I can’t offer an explanation for why the person you gave you a negative karma vote did so, as fortunately/unfortunately I’m not psychic.

Thanks Kingpin, I try my best never to tic off any one.

I sent a PM to Ivo Shandor, but I guess I didn’t say what he wanted to hear, either that or he hasn’t had the time to reply yet.

The fan fiction I’m writing is based with Inspector Gadget. But let this be noted fast. It’s loosely based with the cartoon from the 80’s, and doesn’t run at all with the movies except a very small 4th wall joke. The other fan fiction I’ve done which has passed people by where it’s been presented is Red Dwarf, Doctor Who, Star Trek, My Little Pony, and Greatest American Hero. I’ve also written fan fic for Buck Rogers, but that got attention.

For any one wondering why I haven’t tackled Ghostbusters, it’s because I’m quite content to read what others have written. …That and I haven’t gotten any ideas yet on that fan fiction note.

I wrote back, sorry for the delay. :slight_smile:

btw: my updated “Ghostbreakers” fan fic is here: I posted a Fan Fic... - Fan Fiction - GBFans.com (scroll down to the bottom of that page for a full copy of the story so far).

btw #2: I gave you a karma point to replace the one you lost when whoever downvoted you.

It’s ok :slight_smile: .

Well as I said in the PM, a good test of that software I actually got today. First I ran the story through the default voice …eeh :frowning: . Then a paid one :smiley: . Second time around I could understand better what was going on. Do you want the review here? In the thread? Or PMed?

Also thanks for the karma point.

Something rich here. While I was listening to your work, I was drawing the rough lines to a demon for a wanted poster, I’ve been tapped to make. Drawing a demon while listening to a GB fan fic. How’s that for fitting?

Whatever you prefer! Public is fine with me, in the thread where the story is posted. I can take it. lol :slight_smile:
