Hello everyone! My name is Toby, I’m a beginner writer and love to make shit uber realistic for readers. Here’s all the info about my stuff!

Note: I will never abandon a fic but there are times in which I will take long breaks depending on the fandom’s toxicity. If it was abandoned there would be a completion mark on the fic. (Aka 20/? Turning onto 20/20.)

——————————————————————————

Fandoms

Baseline importance

——————————————————————————

So far I have three fanfics, a fourth is on the way.

All of my fics will be linked down below! They are wips, so please be patient. Each has their own schedule so make sure to read!

Most fanfics will have nsfw, and I don’t mean the basic “stick penis in hole��� shit. I mean detailed, loving, and non vanilla nsfw.

——————————————————————————

MEMOIR OF A SNAIL:

I’ve been absolutely loving this series, and so I wanted to focus on my favorite pairing from it: Gilbert/Ben Appleby. It talks about Gilbert’s trauma, his guilt about what happened, and how his relationship with Ben ends up after saving him from the orchard. This fanfic will be updated whenever I please as having a set schedule will lead to burnout.

——————————————————————————

TROLLS:

The first one is my all time fav: Fliff! It goes into Floyd’s trauma, his healing, and realistic dynamics between the characters. This fanfic will be updated when i please, it used to be updated every day but that’s not survivable long term for me ^^

The second one is Breek! Creek is in no way infantilized in this fanfic. I look at things in a psychological aspect and make damn well sure he’s not babygirlified. This fic goes into Creek’s trauma, Branch’s trauma, allll the trauma, a bunch of healing, and a little bit of angst. It’s updated whenever I feel, but it won’t be abandoned!

The third one is John Dory x Reader! In this it talks about JD’s trauma, some headcanons of his diagnostics, and a bunch of intimate stuff and heart to heart stuff. He is not glamorized in this fic, instead he’s recovering and in therapy. He also has a smallll teeny weeny alcohol issue, but he’s in therapy for that as well! The reader is a trans male, fat L if you can’t handle that. <3 It’s updated whenever I feel just like the Breek fic, but it won’t be abandoned or rarely touched!

The fics are interconnected, so if you see a ship or lore that’s in one of them, assume it’ll be mentioned or involved in the other!

——————————————————————————

CREEPYPASTA:

I am currently working on ideas for a rework of a Jeff x reader fic I read. It had a really nice plot but the execution was absolutely horrendous + it was abandoned. I’ll type more info as I update!

And with that…

!!Release the hounds!!

———————————————————

TROLLS:

Summary:

Floyd is forced into therapy after Branch takes him to his annual checkup since he's staying with him.

Branch's reason for sending him being that he notices Floyd's facade of "being fine" and totally not traumatized even toward a doctor. This leads to him sitting in therapy, which in turn gives him homework. Whats the first assignment you ask?

Making friends besides your brothers and Poppy.

Who better than Barb, the queen of rock, as a starting point??

Summary:

It was the last few weeks of fall, Branch heading to the forest to get the final harvest for the season. There were rumors of an animal lurking around the farm, he didn't realize that that animal was a familiar face.

Summary:

You're a metal/rock troll starting a new life in Pop Village. During one of your bonding activities with Branch, you notice a large creature in the meadow.

Why not pay the owner a visit??

——————————————————————————

CREEPYPASTA:

MEMOIR OF A SNAIL:

Summary:

Gilbert can't mentally bury his thoughts of the only boy who cared about him any longer. Gracie convinces him to go to therapy to finally confront his demons. From there, Gilbert comes up with a plan to save his other half from the hell of the orchard.

PS. I have a shit ton of playlists on Spotify of ships, characters, and more! Check em out down below~

[marnonxiv]

I feel like in specifically a month's time, my fandom list has completely changed lmfao.

Likeeee

The ships, the content I'm consuming, I've added 4 bookmarks in this last month for a fairly inactive bookmark page (13 in total now.)

Also writing fanfiction at the moment, so it's fucking crazy.

I want to write one where Carrie learns self respect and doesn't end up with big

Canonical Eggman from the games: fics about him.

X Files: Yes. Memoir of a Snail: post canon, yes. SATC: Samantha and Charlotte is so popular for some reason, yes.

Is there industry fics???

That's a deep dive I'll go down once I stop being obsessed with ones I'm already reading.

But there has to be a YasHarper one or a YasRobert (I don't like Robert and Harper together tbh, she's always second in his mind and I feel bad for her because she's yearning over...Robert...)

Also tryjng to understand severance, and I really can't so I'm going to watch in the February half term and try to.

[unknowtccfreak]

omg wtf am I doing here again

FUCKKK! I’m back tho guys, erm, I’ve been stressed a lot because of trump being in office cause he’s fucking up America the next four years.

anyway, I came to yap about fandoms I’m in. I’m in the eltingville, creepypasta, TCC and Memoir Of A Snail, and I have yet to make a Oc for MOAS.

I love you guys, and your fucking guts.

anyway, comment on this post so I can keep up with y’all weirdos, also, dm me abt my oc’s and fandoms

[kingofthewilderwest]

Don't worry, I take over my sleep time to read and write fanfictions. I wouldn't have time otherwise! I have an entire Word page with only links to fanfictions I still have to read! And it's all right to not read fanfictions if you don't want to. It's just an hobby among others. Anyway, you wrote fanfictions?? Now I'm curious, could I have a link, if you don't mind? Have a good night too and sorry for my grammar mistakes, english isn't my first language (btw, thank you for the likes <3 )

From this. Sorry I’m slow replying!! thanks for your wonderful messages! :)

No worries about grammar! Your English is great, and even if it weren’t, that’s no bother to me either. :) The fact that you’re communicating in a language that isn’t your first… just means you have extra skills and are even more awesome! :) 

I love how dedicated you are to looking at others’ fanfictions, even creating a Word document page to make sure you remember them. That’s beautiful and cool. And I’m getting curious about what you’ve written, too! 

Thanks so much for asking about my fics - this touches me! Sure, I’m happy to share! I tend to post all fics on tumblr and FFN, with FFN being my primary hub. On tumblr I use the tag #my fanfiction and tag all stories by their title. My FFN profile is kingofthewilderwest.

I’m so so so so so SO touched when anyone reads or interacts with my fics (though since I write casually, I ask no constructive criticism <3). Fanfiction tends to be my more casual creative writing avenue. Original novels are where I spend my most time, effort, editing, and attention - fanfiction comes out as a recreational side project. ^.^ I love connecting with fans and writing over the mutual fandoms we love. I hope it’s alright with you if I use this ask to self-advertise, list some of my fics for others who might be interested??

THE VIGILANTE’S WAR

HTTYD. YEAR: 2014. LENGTH: 57,110 WORDS. A mysterious, antagonistic dragon rider dubbed “the Vigilante” crosses paths with Hiccup, and her increasingly violent actions appear to be leading to war against Berk. 

He tightened his hands, loosened them again. Breathed in, breathed out. He could feel himself stooped in the dirt, his shoulders hunched over his head, his knees buried in the ground and tucked underneath his torso. His neck was bent low close to the earth, providing him a good view of his hands and the ground and nothing else.

Well, and the blood.

That can’t possibly be all mine.

- PROLOGUE: FROM OUT OF THE HAZE

HTTYD 2′s original drafts had Valka as the main antagonist. I found this so interesting that I decided to rewrite HTTYD 2 - with a few of my own spins - on this concept. One of my most well-known fics, “The Vigilante’s War” is where I’ve gotten the most thorough reviews and most emotional reactions.

THE VIGILANTE’S LEGACY 

HTTYD. YEARS: 2014-2016. LENGTH: 20,546 WORDS. There’s been four years of war between three factions. Drago’s army. The Vigilante and her dragons. Berk and their allies. But now, Chief Hiccup believes there’s a way to end the conflict. Sequel to “The Vigilante’s War.”

Hiccup spoke up. Cleared his voice. Tapped his pointer finger apprehensively on the cell’s iron door. “You said we were making a mistake.” Might as well speak straight to the point of his visit. “Something about ‘you and every one of your warriors are making a mistake’ or – or something like that.”

For a moment Hiccup wondered if Valka actually would reply. The calculating gaze she gave him from the corner of her prison certainly did not seem a positive sign. However, then, with a steady, lilting cadence to her voice, she succinctly affirmed, “I did.” Just those two words. Nothing more.

- VIII. THE MISTAKES OF WAR

It’s unfinished; I haven’t updated because I ran out of steam and didn’t receive enough reader feedback encouraging me to continue. Though I did have a very vivid final chapter in mind… that I still love… which I never got to…?

MEMOIRS

HTTYD. YEARS: 2015-2016. LENGTH: 44,289 WORDS. My ongoing collection of drabbles for HTTYD. Angst, pain, comfort, humor, crossovers, crack, it’s all there. Favorites include “Family Portrait,” “Stubble,” “Buffcup the Brawny,” and “Remember When.”

He held her hand softly, one wrinkled hand laid gently on top of another. It was just her and him now in the house all alone – for their children had left on a voyage with the grandkids, and would not be back for a week yet, if even two. It evoked the quietness of the old days, back before they were old, back during the times when they were newlyweds and younger even than their grandchildren were today. Oh, but the smell of her hair was just as refreshing now as when it was blonde.

- REMEMBER WHEN

DINNER AT DRAGON’S EDGE 

HTTYD. YEAR: 2015. LENGTH: 5,452 WORDS. The gang’s settling in at Dragon’s Edge. To make sure everything operates smoothly, Hiccup suggests a chore rotation system. That means everyone has to do their fair share of the cooking… but it doesn’t mean everyone is a fair cook.

“Oh my gods, is this dinner or what the rats threw away?” Snotlout exclaimed, terrified at the Unidentified Edible Object before him.

Tuffnut picked it up with one experimental hand and held it out before him at a safe distance. People would have held poisonous snakes or bloodied torture devices more cheerily. Squinting his eyes and peering carefully at the peculiar specimen pinched between his fingers, rubbing under his chin with his other, free hand, Tuffnut remarked, “Looks something like what Barf and Belch poop out after they get sick and…”

- 1. ASSIGNING JOBS

This humorous fic I think is where I do best capturing HTTYD character personalities and interactions.

[SUPER]HERO THE HARD WAY 

HTTYD. YEARS: 2014-2017. LENGTH: 86,566 WORDS. In a modern world where Berk is full of superheroes battling the League of Outcasts, power-less Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third struggles to receive appreciation for who he is. Through his crime-fighting journey, Hiccup learns that, while he might not have powers, he can become a Hero the Hard Way.

“I wasn’t born with anything. Don’t have anything. I’m the son of Chief Stoick “Skullcrusher” and I don’t have anything. Not even a superpower to turn objects purple. Which frankly would be completely pointless but at least it would have been something.“

He realized he was babbling and promptly shut his mouth. He looked over at Fishlegs, who appeared to be wordlessly processing the information. The teenager appeared baffled moreso than anything else, which at least meant he was not outright rejecting him.

“So you’re going to train to be a superhero… and you don’t have any powers? I got that right?”

“You got that right.”

“Wow.” Fishlegs said.

Hiccup waited for more.

“That’s actually really cool.”

- CHAPTER THREE: SIDEKICKED

This started as me intending to write one crack chapter. It turned into me envisioning a ROB / DOB modern AU where all characters were superheroes. The final product became a retelling of HTTYD 1′s basic concept: Hiccup gaining his peers’ approval despite being different. Somehow, despite me 70% adlibbing by the seat of my pants (should I be admitting this?), I had great fun. And it brought in the most reviews, follows, and favorites of any of my posted stories! Thanks for the reads and support, everyone!!!

RESET OR RESUME 

UT. YEAR: 2016-2017. LENGTH: 85,841 WORDS. Gaster’s research unlocks the secret of time travel. After the Royal Scientist’s untimely end, one of Gaster’s colleagues - Sans - finds himself with the power to Reset. Confronted with unpleasant timelines and dangerous choices, Sans must decide how to navigate through time… if it’s worth resetting for a better future, continuing with hope for the present, or simply giving up.

No longer timid and silent, the human happily babbled all sorts of nonsense to Sans, everything from how to bake snow pies to how weird Sans’ skull looked to how beautiful the ribbon in their hair was to their opinions of Papyrus’ ‘battle body’ to how their mom didn’t like the color black to their personal opinion of ferrets to a long narrative of their encounter with a snail-loving old lady they met on the other side of the Ruins door. Everything could be the topic of a conversation. There was no filter and even less sense of restraint for this child.

“How are you a SKELETON?” their happy little high-pitched voice squeaked. They flew gallantly over a twig that rested, flat, on the surface of the snow. Powder flew everywhere as they landed heavily into the snowbank. “That means – that means you should be DEAD, you know!”

“who says i’m not dead?” Sans trolled with a wink.

With a shrieking giggle, they exclaimed, “Don’t be silly! Only ghosts are dead!”

“i could be a skeleton ghost.”

“No you – no you can’t.” The human seemed to be quite confident about their knowledge in paranormal metaphysics. “You can be a skeleton. You can be a ghost. But nobody – NOBODY – can be a skeleton ghost.”

“is that so?”

“YES so! You CAN’T be both. That would be wrong.” Maybe the human mentally categorized skeletons and ghosts as separate Halloween creatures, ensuring they were mutually exclusive concepts. It was always challenging to comprehend a child’s train of logic. “Except…” and now the child paused, leaning down and tugging at the sleeve of their sweater. Something thoughtful – at least as much as one so young could be thoughtful – passed over their eyes. They cocked their head to the side and stared at Sans. In the same sort of innocence with which they had talked about ferrets, the human inquired, “…can ghosts also be dust?”

- 5. KNOCKS [[File 5.2 IH-20150701-3-3]]

I have particular fondness for this fic. I spent more energy and care with this than any other I’ve posted. Drenched it through with UT lore. Edited and revised thoroughly. Had two beta readers examine my ASL for accurate representation. I wrote extensive outlines that were several page long color-coded charts, had all this meticulous structuring going on…

The problem was, this was an impossibly ambitious project. Life got in the way, too. The 85,841 words here aren’t close to the end of Part 1. The final two Parts were going to explain the weirdness within Part 1 (the story doesn’t begin in chronological order - it gets pieced together like a puzzle). What I planned to write would have included a complex characterization arc for Sans, every human child that’s visited the underground, and multiple resets containing main character deaths… until the story would end with Sans confronting Frisk in the Genocide Route.

Hopefully, despite the incompleteness, this is enjoyable from its comedy to its angst! I would at least encourage people to read the first few chapters! Or “Socks” - an entire chapter devoted to Sans and Gaster pulling sock pranks on each other.

SOMEHOW THEY’RE STILL OFFICERS

FMAB. YEAR: 2018-2019. LENGTH: 6,036 WORDS. Ahhhhhh yes. Team Mustang. The hand-selected, elite group of military officers who effectively spend their time… doing nonsense. 

Everyone was scrambling at once. Mustang rushed forward to greet their guest, perfect composure only broken by the fast pace at which he moved. In fact the colonel’s posture was almost a proud enough display to make his lack of shirt go unnoticed. But Falman chucked his cards away at the same time he tried to salute; Breda was ducking from Falman’s sudden card shower; Fuery was launching pants and underwear in Havoc’s face; and Lieutenant Hawkeye, obviously abashed to be in this room at all, was covering her eyes with her hand in what was either her life’s longest sigh, or a pathetic attempt to hide her face and identity.

- WE WERE JUST PLAYING CARDS

My collection of FMA drabbles, particularly stories of Team Mustang shenanigans. Prompts / requests welcome for more adventures!

I have a few other drabbles posted, too. I also have unfinished chapters of Voltron fanfictions on my computer that I could share, too? Maybe I should? I’m currently working on several Royai fanfictions, other FMA drabbles, and a longer Deponia fanfiction.

Thank you again for being so nice and connecting with me over fanfiction and fandom and FMA and more. You’re a really wonderful and cool person and you made my day.

[crookedspoonfic]

Questions for writers: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 20, 22, 30, 37, 47, 50, 54!

From the Questions for Writers meme. You want to know it all, eh? Hope I can do these questions justice!

5. Books or authors that influenced your style the most.

Idk if The Wheel of Time was formative in the creation of my style, but Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale definitely was. And Oryx and Crake, definitely. I hope Keri Hulme’s The Bone People might also make it in there (if you wanna read it, be warned there’s some heavy child abuse in there, but also a character who refers to herself as ace and neuter, which basically made my head explode because I never thought I’d see that in a book written before the oughts).

6. Favorite character you ever created.

Victor Trevor, of Sherlock Holmes fame, a joint production with my dear, dear friend @neurotoxia. In my book, he counts as OC because Doyle gave us about as much information about him as Stiefvater gave us on Skov, Jiang and Swan, maybe less.

7. Favorite author.

Margaret Atwood. Brandon Sanderson might make it in there, too, but I’ve only read 2/3 of Mistborn and the books he wrote to finish The Wheel of Time. (Also answered here.)

8. Favorite trope to write.

Pining, mutually unrequited, “let’s fuck but pretend to not care about each other and denying we’re developing feels,” It’s all very predictable. I would like to say Fake Relationship, but I don’t think I’ve written that yet, despite many ideas that would fall under this category.

9. Least favorite trope to write.

None comes to mind right away. Basically, I want to be open and try everything at least once? In some fandoms, certain tropes are basically canon and so it’s easier for me to (potentially) write. (The DCU is a prime example of this. I feel like I could make enverything work there and it wouldn’t be any weirder than what’s already canon.) 

I guess there are some overdone ones as found on trope-bingo that I wouldn’t particularly care for (huddle for warmth eg), but with the right pairing and scenario I’d still want to write it *shrugs*

15. Where does your inspiration come from?

I answered something similar here. In general, from everything that has words or images that give me character vibes. Also, discussing ideas with fandom friends. Or, apparently, as I learned today, from tumblr posts that delineate a pairing idea. (AU prompts have worked in the past, but this was new.)

20. Post a snippet of a WIP you’re working on.

Can’t wait, huh? I was gonna post snippets at the end of the month. But you’re interest warms my heart.

“Here’s the deal, sweetheart, since I’m in a generous mood: Whatever you want me to do to you, I’ll do it.” There’s a dramatic pause as he takes another drag from his cigarette, letting his statement work inside you. “All you have to do is say it out loud.”

His eyes are glassy and his smile is like water, liquid-soft at first but able to erode you with time.

“Sound good?”

22. How many drafts do you need until you’re satisfied and a project is ultimately done for you?

I cannot tell you that because I rarely ever finish a thing and then go back to editing. I can spend weeks searching for a first sentence that will get the ball rolling. I can edit the beginning every time I go over it while searching for a way to continue where I’m stuck. I can throw out entire paragraphs and rewrite the scenes because they’re not working. It all depends on how long the thing I’m writing is, when it needs to be finished, and how dear to my heart this thing is. I’ve been known to rush endings and post things the moment they were done, because oh dang, look at the time, the day is almost over and that stupid challenge ends today.

I’d say, in general three. One in which I finish, no matter how often I’ve changed things before I wrote what I consider to be the final sentence. One in which I go over that and edit everything that sounds off, and another in which I check that I’ve made no mistakes in that previous revision. 

Bear in mind that my average length is 1-2k. I have an 8k WIP in which I rewrote the beginning at least four times and then decided to trash the entire beast because it wasn’t working. And now I’m trying to start over.

30. Favorite line you’ve ever written.

I’d have to go back and re-read all my fic which would take entirely too long given that I’m a snail of a reader, but I can tell you what my favourite alliteration is:

a coarse conglomerate of country bumpkins

from The Chrysanthemum Vow (Gintama) and referring to the Shinsengumi. That fic is from 2013 and even though my English may have been wobbly at times, I still think I haven’t written any better.

37. Most inspirational quote you’ve ever read or heard that’s still important to you.

Harrumph, I’m sure I answered this somewhere but of course I cannot find it now. (Okay, I was probably thinking of this, but the quotes don’t pertain to writing.)

Sorry, I got nothing.

47. Do you start with characters or plot when working on a new story?

Considering I only write fanfic, I have to start with the characters?

50. Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had.

My ideas don’t feel as wild as some that are out there, but I guess a Christmas AU with the cast of characters as reluctant Santa and his hard-working elves? Written way back in 08.

54. Any writing advice you want to share?

Dude, I barely know what I’m doing. There’s no advice to be gleaned from me. So I’m going to refer you to Stephen King, who in his memoir On Writing said to first write your story with the door closed (i.e. let no one see it) and when it’s finished edit with your door open.

Okay, so some news on my memoir of a snail fanfiction.

I’m currently working on chapter 5 which has been going pretty smoothly but. I will say that it won’t come out for a little bit mainly because on AO3 they’re so little for this fandom and the majority of it has not been touched in quite awhile. So it won’t come out until it’s fully finished because I want to give you guys a proper fanfiction and since there’s so few out there I feel like not only me but more people should meet the call and get creative.

There is so much potential with this movie and it’s characters and I feel like it hasn’t been match yet. But hopefully not too distant future there would be an attempt to try to get it up there.

Also, this is basically the other reason why it’s taking so long blame my short attention span and anime people.
