Alt A is now up on AO3!

And also an FYI- this is going to be a locked fic (only available to logged-in AO3 members). The reason for this is the AI trawling that's been happening. I write for my personal enjoyment, and I share what I write in case anyone else likes it too. But I don't agree with AI-... anything, basically, and so the fic is locked to try and avoid that.

I want my writing to stay on my tiny corner of the internet, Nowhere Else.

Anyway! Updates will be sporadic until I finish writing the last few chapters, but check it out if you're curious!

'An Alternate Apocalypse [Alt. A.]' by Bla_de_doop

P.S. I also have another ROTTMNT story with over 80,000 words already up called Hidden Souls!

[rottmnt-au-alt-a]

Been a while since I've done a progress update! It is 2024, April 4th.

There are now 14 completed chapters, of which only a final pass of editing is required. I have different docs for every chapter, so it's hard to get an actual word count; but the last time I counted (Dec2023) Alt A was at 110,000 words!

I'm currently writing what I believe is going to be the second or third last chapter before Alt A is (finally) finished!!

Here is a snippet of the chapter I'm writing (15)! This is a Raph POV.

"Anger is an old friend of his.

When he was young, he learned to temper it. Had to, really. He was just so much bigger then the other three. That's not even mentioning Don's fragile shell. He would chain his anger to the depths if his chest, and it was only once he got a lot older and wiser that he learned how to handle it in a more healthy sense.

Sometimes though, it still snuck up on him. The weight of it, how much anger and rage just burned you straight though.

He's reminded of it now though. He doesn't know if he'll ever be able to forget the feel of it.

Just like the feeling of fear. Of hopelessness. Of loss."

life's too short to write for an imaginary critic that you fear will hate what you wrote

[rottmnt-au-alt-a]

me: I'm going to write a fic to my own entertainment

also me, writing said fic:

People worrying if their fic is too self indulgent like....... that is the point of fanfiction. You are supposed to indulge . Every fic is self indulgent

Some doodles of Sonia and Soren, two oc's created for this fic!

Also Leo's closest (and oldest) friends. Featuring me being unable to draw a face consistently if my life depended on it

Sonia!!

Loosing her family in the initial invasion left her devestated, but now she has young cringe-fail Leo to help along, becoming close friends with him along the way.

Her left arm from the elbow down is where the effects of her Kraang-ification appear the most blatantly

One of Leo's Kraang-ified Defector's as well, he is the strong and silent type. Mutated via a goosquito (or whatever they're called) by a bear mutant shortly after the initial invasion.

Hidden by his jeans, his legs are where his Kraang-ification lie.

(Can yall tell I didn't want to draw that many kraang tentacles yet)

There you are! I have 5 chapters of this fic down so far, plus a lot of scenes for farther down the line done

Here's hoping I'll be able to find the time to draw out some full-blown character sketches of these guys soon

[rottmnt-au-alt-a]

Here's Leo for the Alt A au!

I had no idea the rise art style would kill me to draw this much, but alas. I took me four pages of just Leo's in my sketchbook before I got a few I liked enough to clean up

AU Alt. Apocalypse. (Or Alt. A. For short)

Based in an alternative "bad future", where Leo fumbles the Kraang Key, without anyone realising what it is before it's too late.

The brothers hear about a huge foot clan gathering from Cassandra (Foot Recruit), and decide to break it up. While there the Kraang get released, and Leo is captured.

In an attempt to get their brother back, they go to the Kraang mothership, and find Leo Kraang-ified.

Raph manages to get Leo to break free from the Kraang control, but Leo knows it won't last long, and sends all three brothers away; sacrificing himself to kill Kraang Prime and destroy the ship.

[Time skip ~7 years]

Everyone (minus Leo), all live within the NY resistance base, that lies within the ruins of what was once central NY. Sightly inspired by WROR AU, except instead of all brothers being separated in their own bases/towns, they are all generals within the same main base. Donnie is in charge of the air (his hovercrafts) and weaponry above ground, while Mikey/Draxum/Splinter run the underground remnants of the hidden city (the medical centre/nurseries/schools/etc.). Raph and April are in charge of the everyday goings on of both above and below ground (mayor vibes). Cassandra helps out Raph and April but is otherwise primarily a soldier. April's mother is a doctor, and her dad runs the middle school (principal).

The story takes off when Leo shows up after being missing since the initial invasion to help Donnie and mini Casey Jr. out from a Kraang hound attack. And lots of feels and some plot take off from there.

I'm reluctant to say much else because I both don't want to spoil anything and also I may change somethings so... we will leave it at this.

Hello!

After seeing so many awesome and gorgeous AU's for the ROTTMNT fandom, I thought I'd try and make my own!

Fair warning I have no clue what I'm doing at any given time (this will be my first time writing a story/doing anything but lurking), but I'll try my best to update this blog at least somewhat frequently.

The fic in question (as of posting this), has 1 chapter fully written. I'll be waiting until at least the majority of the story is fully written before posting chapters. When it is posted it will most likely be to Ao3.

This blog will be mostly updates on the story progress, and any drawings I make as well! And I may sprinkle in some non-au rottmnt stuff as well, who knows.

I'll be posting a few drawings of Leo and the basics of the AU soon!
