Original fiction / fanfiction
So, I started writing on a fic set in a fandom I can't stand in an attempt to see if I could try and make anything I deem readable set in that universe.
Now, I've come up with some truly unique and interesting ideas that I think could be used in an original story instead. On the other hand, I know that some fandoms allow authors to publish and put their their fics up on Amazon for sale.
Anyone else experienced coming up with ideas and concepts that they've chosen to use in original stories instead?
Also, anyone have experience with selling fanfics through Amazon?
Which do you prefer? A fic that mostly sticks to the original plot of the original work, but spends a lot of time exploring the setting and characters that the original work did not?
Or a fic that does little to expand on characters or setting but greatly diverges from the original story?
Legend of the Illuminatist Madoka
Little background: several months ago, I started writing this strange, surreal Legend of Galactic Heroes X Madoka Magica crossover that got me banned over at SV.

Here are the word doc links for anyone remotely interested in the shit I wrote.

The strangest thing about writing it all is that I managed to churn out roughly 137910 words in total.
The only thing good I can say about myself is that I truly was motivated.
Ff.net or AO3?
I'm working on a longfic centered on plot, mystery and fantasy themed but I don't know if I should publish on fanfiction.net or AO3.
Here is the deal: ff.net is just fine. The first place you think of when you want to publish something, and there is a little bit of everything. I've seen really good stories and complete garbage equally, but that's not the matter. The matter is that I kind of ``really need`` customization features that ff.net doesn't have as it just lets me publish my story, and that's all.
And there's where I feel I need ao3. From a technical pov, ao3's is vastly superior. However, its fucking userbase. It has a direct influx of tumblr/sjws I can't fucking deal with. I almost think of it as tumblr's official fanfiction archive at this rate. I don't want those retarded bitches to touch my work, holy shit. I want to fucking stay from all of those infectious focus as much as I can.
Ao3 calls me because of its customization features but I can't help thinking of it as a gigantic archive for tumblrinas to post their shipping pwp garbage instead of something with a little bit of more quality. I may be wrong and haven't browsed the archive enough, but all I can think when I think about ao3 is smut and I'm yet to see some good fanfic on there not centered on shipping. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Pic related is what I found when I googled "ao3".

I'm an avid FF author and reader who wants to help you with your stories. Bring in your shittiest fics/ideas and I'll try to help you make them better. I'm by no means an expert or great in any way, but English was my best subject throughout my K-12 years of education and I used to love reading books all the time in elementary school. Though I don't write too much myself anymore, I'm trying to get back into it and I like helping people with their own ideas if I'm able to. Even if you don't have any ideas and just want advice and/or criticism, I'm up for it.
>tfw your waifu will never be popular in fanfiction
>tfw you're not good enough to produce narrative lewds that meet your standards
>tfw every time you try to get better your writing just ends up sounding even more autistic than it used to
>tfw you can't enjoy your own writing anyway because you know exactly how much autistic wish-fulfillment went in to it

Since I didn't see a thread for this:FTDDTOTT
Lots of other boards have this, let's give it a go. Here's to /fanfic/'s first Feels that don't Deserve Their Own Threads Thread.
>tfw mostly rely on MSW to do the beginning-of-sentence capitalization
>for some reason it turns itself off
>tfw didn't realize this for three+ pages
>tfw an author you love like hell used to be really good
>but now they're just devolved into using their fanfics to push their retarded OOC headcannons for normalshit fandoms
>the one things they've done in the past year that wasn't SU was an AU in which two of the main characters attend and support a fag pride parade
Im a HL2 fan and I made this...
Ever wondered what a the inside living of a soviet block building looks like today. You know the ones in HL2. Well I know, cuz I live in one and I tonight why not make a short, expressing the narrative of someone living in such a place at such time for humanity. If any of you are also HL2 fan, then give me ideas as for what I can do more, here in the Eastern block. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aKhzo3PAkg&feature=youtu.be
I am currently writing one of the most soon-to-be ambitious works of fan fiction ever. When I saw currently, I mean I am part-way through it.
I am about 20,000 words in and I plan for it to be 80,000 or more by the time it's done.
I am of course talking about CIA Rises. And you can read what's done so far:
A Crystal Heart's Easy to Break, Baby (Steven Universe/Space Dandy crossover)
"An unwelcome and Dandy face from Pearl's past returns in pursuit of a rare and terrible menace that could spell the end of Beach City. Unfortunately for her, Steven thinks that he's a pretty cool guy. A hilarious and heartbreaking Space Adventure in Space on…Earth. Steven Universe/Space Dandy crossover."
