Writing is hard.
Why'd you expect literal fanfiction to necessarily be good?
There are some nice stories on occasion, but that's it.

>>41118810
It's no different than writing normal stories
It should be even easier because you already have characters and a world to work with. You just need to think up a good plot.
Fanfiction is usually bad because it's written by teenage girls but this was written by a 30 y/o man so I had higher hopes. And honestly it was pretty good at the beginning

Hello? Shush. I'm calling bullshit.

FF net is garbage, try

>>41119421
That website is so dead it makes John F. Kennedy look alive in comparison

>There are some nice stories on occasion, but that's it.
Name even one (1) (uno) good fan fiction. I'm waiting.

>>41117434
You should write your own and I'm not even saying that in a mean way, that way you can decide yourself where the characters go without depending on another

>>41119421
The search function sucks and there are so many faggot OCs while I just want to read about touhous. That one about murdering Kaguya was funny though. Maybe I'll check there again.
>>41119504
Wish I could write (or draw) but I couldn't describe a scene to save my life on top of being ESL and finding it too cringe to write in my own language.

>>41117434
99% of eastern 2hu fanfics are literally the author self inserting themselves into the setting with mary sue powers and getting a harem.

Umineko is technically Beatrice’s fan fiction LOL

Why are you reading fanfiction? Why are you blogging about reading fanfiction? How did you manage to read Imperfect Metamorphosis and think it was good at any point?

>>41123248
I said GOOD you bitch

>>41124067
>Why are you reading fanfiction?
1. like reading 2. like 2hu 3. nothing better to do
>Why are you blogging about reading fanfiction?
So people can give me better fanfiction to read or talk about it in general and there's no thread for this
>spoiler
It was good though if you skipped the edgy Rumia/Rin/Team9 scenes (they go on for way too long and honestly who cares). It had the best characterization of any fanwork I've ever seen. Some times I was laughing out loud while reading it and felt for the characters. And I thought some of the plot points were interesting. So it made me mad when the author pissed all over it.

>>41120535
There is literally nothing wrong with self insert fanfiction. Haremshit is the real plague. Just pick one girl and stick with it.

I like 2hu smut.

>>41126096
I prefer the one where Mokou has Kaguya fucked by a dog.

>>41126378
Post it.

>>41126378
There is a doujin where Mokou gets fucked by a dog

>>41124067

To be fair, all of us had a phase where we just did not have any taste whatsoever and anons probably just going through his. I remember refreshing the page weekly back when I was younger because I was super into it, and the only reason this thread caught my eye was because OP unlocked some of those secret memories for me. And honestly? I kind of miss those times when I could just devour trashy shit and enjoy it. Now my only fill of garbage is from doujins.
>>41119450
Depends on what you define as fanfiction and good; Fate is essentially a giant collection of fanfiction and it certainly isn't all good for example. There's a couple of CYOA's on that 2hu website dedicated to it I check up on every year or so that are fun reads too, though I'll admit a lot of it is both nostalgia and the few authors who kinda-sorta stick around being the standouts through the rest which is your usual self-fulfillment schlock.

Enjoy. Degenerate.

>>41127165
You wrote this. You're not fooling anyone.

>>41127322
No. I wrote another piece of Mokou smut, though.

What's your favorite genre of self insert touhou fanfic?

>>41127425
Shameless fapfics. .

>>41127165
It might have been good if she wasn't enjoying it.

>>41119309
I always found Touhou a nice sandbox-like world to make stories of, it's a shame that most of it is sloppy lesbian romance and overpowered gappies. Back in the day there were good fanfics, but most of them ended up unfinished and abandoned. I actually wanted to write one for myself but I lost track of the lore ever since Mountain of Faith and I got too lazy to get back up to date.

>>41127488
Such as?

>>41120535
>Eastern
A lot of western ones are like that as well. It's basically just Isekai, which is funny since Touhou is anti Isekai.

>>41127730
I wanted to write a story about Touhou as well. Then I realized nobody in the west knows about it and I could just make a original work with the same premise as Gensokyo.

>>41117434
>Imperfect Metamorphosis
First mistake was reading that. It's up there with KKHTA for me in "big grim fanworks that are actually shit but everyone praises for some reason".

>>41124067
I won't lie, there were some bits I quite liked
The weird dream sequence bit was cool, I enjoyed the big yuuka fight (the first one where marisa gets hopped up on mushrooms), and yuuka's mental breakdown as it went on, but there's so much pointless fluff and a little too many fanon characters like psycho flan (even if that had somewhat of a payoff)
I like the mokou/kaguya spinoff he did more than the main story, I think.

>>41128353
All of them. It doesn't matter if they're horribly OOC, Yukari with fat eyebrows and a fat cock is always going to be hot.

How the fuck do people manage to write long stories? Maybe I'm just an undiagnosed sped that should be compleletely zoned out on ritalin or something, but during my one and only attempt so far I was barely able to write a 800 word short before I was done with the entire thing, now im struggling on starting with the next one

>>41119603
Only way you'll ever get better at it is by actually trying, retard.

>>41128718
You have to have some innovation, anon. Like innovation and dedication + autism on the side.

>>41128718
Writing a lot of text is not that hard, anon. It's editing and getting it into a shape where you can post it online without feeling terrified that is hard.

>>41128398
>I could just make a original work with the same premise as Gensokyo
What would be the point then? The idea is to use the characters and circumstances of the work. Even if no one knows what Touhou is, putting more effort into an original work that would also be unknown would be the same.

>>41128543
OK, but any examples?

>>41128915
Getting feeback and criticism from your friends on /jp/

>>41129106
Being able to sell it as a original property. As well as being given absolute freedom in what the setting and world is like.

Anyway, it's basically a combination of two Touhou fanfic ideas I had. One about Sakuya's backstory (I know, original) and one that's just a retelling of the story expect more serious and not played for black comedy (Again, original, I know). It's changed a lot though, and while it's still highly influenced I like to think it stands on it's own nowadays.

>>41128718
You have the ending in your head.
I always have the endings in my head first.

>>41130659
This is very important. Can corroborate.

>>41118810
>Writing is hard.
It really isn't.
You can easily ruin a story with unwanted garbage.

>>41119450
the stuff I was reading back in 2011-14

Read Being Meiling and A Wizard in Gensokyo

bless.
