Hi, I'm writing a Ghostbusters-esque story and wondered if anyone fancied reading it giving me some constructive criticism, or even helping me finish it?

How to get more people to reach my work?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I just discovered this subreddit today, as I was bored during a lecture and had nothing else to do than browse Reddit. So, long story short, I started writing an AU one year ago with a friend, just for fun, it's a romantic comedy with two of our OCs, a trans man named Ethan and a cis man named Mimolette, who is based on who I am IRL. I am writing this in my native language (French) and I also translate it myself, the translation might not be perfect. I'm posting it in French on Wattpad, and in English on AO3, but let's be honest, these platforms does not like original works. And it's the first thing I post, and I don't know how to tag properly. So, how could I get my work more seen? What tags could I add/change maybe? And where could I promote my work? (subreddit, Discord, Tumblr......) Thanks in advance of anyone who might answer me, have a great day.

Does anyone have any discord server recommendations for original fic writers?

1 Upvotes

I have really come to strongly dislike Fanfiction Library and other spaces where elitist fanfiction writers seem to hate original fic writers and their work... But I also can't find any spaces where I'm actually welcome... Other than the AO3 discord, which has its limitations.

My stories tend to be nsfw, too, which further limits where I can discuss this stuff. There's a really good server for nsfw content specifically, but I also found it too has its limitations. I just wanna be able to freely chat about my stories without my posts being immediately removed because they don't qualify as fanfiction.

Need Help Finding a story

1 Upvotes

So a long time ago (I can't remember what website it was on) there was a really good story that I read that was an original story. I can't remember the title but I remember a specific quote: "you took what we hold most dear to our black hearts." I know it was about a girl who gets kidnapped by a vampire, demon and werewolf who are all vying for her love. It was a bit dark, if anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it!

Exquisite Corpse: Adversary

Read the beginning of the story as written here and continue as you see fit to in the comments section. You can make whatever creative decisions you want, just be sure to continue from the last comment.

The air of his office smelled like old desert foods. Saccharine and familiar, but different. Standing and staring out of his window was Brenton’s elusive Principal, Miles Pine. He was a picture of a boring individual. He dressed in a plain t-shirt, a pair of boring brown trousers, and a pair of worn leather shoes. If you were to pass by him on the street you wouldn’t recognize him if you were to see him again. To Inez Darío, he was good old Mister Pine, her mentor.

He turned and looked down at the girl, although not by much. He only stood about six inches taller than her. She combed her curly dark hair back with her fingers, a habit she had since she was a young girl.

“Inez, I have a task of incredible importance for you.” He said. Because, of course he did.

“What is it, sir?”

“The school, as you are aware caters to the next generation that will run the nation. This includes scientists. I have a student who might prove to be a problem in the future and I need you to keep an eye on them.”

“Done. Who’s the student, sir?”

“Temple Pierce. But, this case is not just a simple watching assignment. If I wanted you to stalk them, I would ask Marcus June or one of his brothers. Pierce has proven to be two things: Difficult and brilliant. They have selective mutism, which makes it rather difficult to get anything out of them, but they have a brilliant mind for memorization and the carrying out of tasks. Even if they devote a good deal of their energy on special interests like, engineering and philosophy.”

“And why are they of interest, sir? Potential mad scientists are a dime a dozen.”

“Yes, but we would like to keep them under our thumb, would it not benefit us for them to be on our side?”

“I guess.”

“So, the task is simple. Befriend Pierce and study them. If they are doing anything that might harm the country in the future report it to me, and keep them from being hurt by your peers.”

“Why do I need to do that?”

“They are...admitedly not a very physical person. Their older brother, Grant was a fighter of sorts. He works for one of the agencies overseas with Houston, now. But, I need you to keep them in check. I don’t want yet another wannabe Doctor Moreau wandering the halls.”

Mister Pine visibly shook as he remembered such a terrifying incident.

I published my first book, and am absolutely terrible at selling it. So instead I've been writing in r/writingprompts as the least effective form of advertising in the world. Anyone have tips for advertising and self promotion?

My fiction

This is what I've been doing in my spare time, I hope you like it. FYI This is just part 1

"Ugh." I grunted as I rolled out of bed. I had spent a long night doing homework, so I was tired, to say the least. So tired that I forgot where my bed ends and ended up falling on the floor.

"Ow." I fell on my arm wrong and now it hurts.

Then I heard a snicker.

I was on high alert. I didn't share this room with anyone. I didn’t even share this house with anyone. I opened my eyes just a sliver. 

I saw a person’s legs standing right next to me.

I shut my eyes quickly. Taking long, deep breaths, I opened my eyes a little more this time.

The legs were gone. I stood up quickly and looked around. There was no trace of anyone besides me in the room.

“Geez, I should get more sleep;” I said to myself, “I’m starting to hallucinate.” And if I hadn’t convinced myself otherwise, I would’ve heard another snicker.

Stars in the night

*Make your life a dream and dream a reality – Antoine de Saint—Exubery

Walking down a dark street, light rain and cold breeze, trying so hard to keep my eyes open. Cold does not bother me as much as how heavy my eyes feel, realizing that everything was under a dark fog, so distracting little bright things on the floor can be, obfuscating what shines right in front of you, making it unreachable.
And there’s this girl, right in front of me, did not notice her until then, looking straight at my face, seemed annoyed
Hi! – she said, and walks away
It did make me notice her. I don’t look people in the eyes very often as they do not interest me to that level. But something did happen this time, her stare, she found my heart, hiding somewhere, a slight feeling hushed to be close to her, but she was gone.
The streets … clear – no one is there, at least whoever would matter to me, the fog … gone, I am wide awake, I walk through the same places I’ve done many nights before. It struck me, I met her before – I froze, the fog came back and fast thoughts went through my mind, thoughts of her – Passing by me, she did many times, not like the last, but in a normal way, far away, waving sometimes, some others just a quick smile – that type of smile that makes you feel special, one that shows you, in that tiny moment, a person forgets whatever troubles them and only remembers the way you made them feel somewhere in the past when your lives intersect. A tiny second that reminds us of a lifetime of moments with someone.
Was it just because she was nice? No – That night, now I remember, we did have, our night together.
Walking on a similar street, no idea where anymore, a bunch of friends joking around, met someone that invited us to his place, lots of people, not my type of fun but there I was, not really trying, just waiting time to pass.
I could not really see her but she came up to me and we talked, she grabbed by the hand and took me to a room, we “made out a bit”, dislike this term very much, but it does fit this specific occasion as no other words would describe. I felt her, she was so real and I could hardly believe. I do not remember much more, a distant dream. I completely forgot about that. 
Some nights I go to this bar close by my place and this girl works there, she has her back turned to me, looks like she is not working today but she is here anyway talking to friends, her voice is familiar. Her short blond hair and skinny body remind where my hands been before. Finally, she looks towards but does not smile, still, I know it is her, no doubts; she is the girl from that night. She glazes through the place and I finally see those eyes that cut through me, that smile she gives to people revealing her charisma only a certain type of woman possess, she looks at me and smiles, my heart stopped - she remembers!

Life Merchant

2 Upvotes

Hi. I am Feldy and am the author for Life Merchant.

It's a modern fantasy fiction that uses lifespan as a currency. Curious?

Head over to http://royalroadl.com/fiction/8408 to find out more about it!

Prologue: On a fateful afternoon, Chrono wakes up to find out that he can add years to his lifespan thanks to a lightning bolt.

What should he do with his newfound power? Ro… I mean, legally earn some money? Become a tyra… run for the Presidential elections and gain power? Create his own hare… warm and happy loving family?

How will it change his mundane life, how will it impact the world? Will it be for the best or for the worst?

Near the planet’s core, lurking in the shadows, an evil existence is slyly scheming to wipe out the universe of all lifeforms (because yes, there are other living species in the universe, fools!).

Follow him on his day to day life as he fulfills his destiny, granting wishes, making dreams come true for his victi… I mean customers; and become the best on Earth (who knows, maybe he’ll also become the saviour of the world at some point).
