Hey! Do any of you know about Fanfiction.net? It's not actually a Redwall site, but it has a huge section filled with Redwall fanfiction. I am a memeber, but so far, I have no idea what to do! Are any of you members? Because I uploaded my story to the Doc. Manager, but I have no idea how to actually publish my story onto the site.
Mod Note: Since fanfiction.net itself is not Redwall-related I've moved the topic to Cavern Hole.
This (http://forum.fanfiction.net/topic/2872/2542480/1/) may help you, Nightfire. I googled "fanfiction.net upload story" and this came up.
I'm on it, I have the same name there as here, but I haven't actually done anything on it except male an account and verify it! I only made it to submit my story for the award's contest, but I didn't get my story done on time.
Nightfire, you got in before me! I was going to make this topic! Oh well... :D
My username is Contrary To Popular Belief.
I'm assuming Redwall stories? Tell me the titles and I'll check 'em out! And Lily, thanks! It really helped! And my username is 'Ceu Praca,' just so you know. It means 'Sky Soldier.' I just published my one story, so if any of you want to read it, it is called 'Metroid: O Lavagem.' Not that inventive, but...anyway, it's AVALIABLE NOW!!!!! Read it, please, and tell me what you think!!!
My stories are 'The Black Spear' and 'Riayan Wildlough's Adversary'. Look them up.

No worries! I found your story but I've never played Metroid, so I had no idea what was going on. :D
You mean Metroid: After M?
If you want to know about Metroid Prime, then learning about the main character, Samus Aran, would actually be a better way to know. Here is a link to her page of the Wikitroid, the Metroid Wiki.
http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Biography_of_Samus_Aran
i am "I equal awesome" :)
What section do you write in?
books right now i have one about the penderwicks so look it up!
I'm a member there. Same username. So far I only have one ongoing fanfic (the same one you can find here under the Fan Works section: Voyages of the Blue Rogue). I haven't been able to work on it since before Christmas, but am hoping to get some new chapters up soon. I have the end of a chapter done...I just have to work my way into it from where the story is at this point. :D
Cool. I've published lots of stories since After M, in case anyone's intersted. Lily, I think you might like the one call Metroid: O Lavagem. :)
i also put up return of the ravagers ::)
I'm Musings of the Pen and write Redwall and Discworld.

I am definitely going to have to check it out!
You guys all rock, can I just say. Writing something and then putting it out there for others to read takes real courage, and I admire you all for that.
Well, I tried publishing an original work, called The Assassin Redeemed on Fictionpress.com, but people didn't like it much, so I deleted it. :P I think I'll stick with fanfics for now, although I'm still working on Itaris. My latest fanfiction is an awesome story called Daybreak. I think I'll publish the first few chapters soon. Guess what? It has a Space Pirate in it who ISN'T EVIL!!! ;D Tiria, I know you'll love that. :D
I have favorited all of you! Yay! And now to write...
Really? You need to give us links to your works. :)
just find her and click her it will all be there ::) ::)
Of course. ::) Silly me. ;D
Well, if you go to FF.net, I hope you enjoy my newest fanfic, Daybreak. :)

Why do you say that? I mean, it sounds cool...
Because I know you hate evil. Finally, an evilbeast that isn't evil! ;D Check it out, I published a lot of chapters already.
Well, yeah...I might write a story about if Ranguvar Foeseeker survived. Now, I'm CERTAIN you'll like that. ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
OF COURSE I WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm, the aforementioned Ranguvar ficcie seems to be dead......
......only kiddin' ya. I'll write the first chapter and send it to you. :)
Just publish it on FF.net and I'll find it. ;D And read Daybreak!
Hey, so I just joined Fanfiction.net, and I'm curious, who, of the members still active, is on it? A question for anyone on it: I'm still trying to learn my way around, trying to find the rules and such, and I can't seem to find anything mentioning first-person writing. Is that allowed, or is it frowned upon? Because that's my favorite way to write fanfics, so I'm curious as to if I'd be able to write like that on the site. Gah! I hate my first few days on a site! :P
I'm on. First person is perfectly acceptable on Fanfiction.net! I don't think they make any sorts of stylistic restrictions; they just ask users to warn their readers about the maturity level of their work through the ratings system on the site.

Okay, thanks! Yeah, I just posted my first Warriors fic if you wanna read it. It's called Scorchkit's Adventure. (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9309454/1/Scorchkit-s-Adventure) If you want to review it, I'd very much appreciate it, because I'm slightly nervous about posting my first fanfic on there. I've never really shown any of my recent writing to the public before! :o
I'm on Fanfiction.net, too! I'm Icefire there as well. I haven't posted anything yet, but I intend to post my Aegis tales there as well as in our fan fiction section....someday......when I have more of that elusive thing called "time."
Speaking of maturity ratings, be careful to check the ratings before you read a story. There are things on there I'm sure you would regret reading...

Yeah, that's what I try to do before I read them. I check the description to see if it would be worth reading, then I check the genre it is (I usually don't read romance), then I check the rating. Usually I don't get that far, because I've already lost interest in the story. :-\
I am on it as Shadowed One 19. I don't have any stories there yet, but I found some other great Redwall fanfics. Look at my Favorites section.
I'll probably be looking through the Redwall section soon. ;) Lol, and it seems like I'm the only person here that just completely chose a different username. Mine's 'Cactus in the Valley'. :P
Nightfire's and Tiria's are kind of out there. Ceu Praca and Contrary to Popular Belief. I'm just boring like that. ;D
They have some really great Redwall stories there! I'd suggest reading The Sword and its Flowers, a story about Martin and Rose by our resident Member Free Thought. Its a good story!
There's also a really good story called Ordinary by Jukebox Mill. It's a fanfic based on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and it takes place a few generations after the Twilight Princess story. I'll give you a hint as to how long after it is: Colin is a grandfather in the story. ;) But it's really good! It has two chapters right now, and it's on my favourites list. ::)
I have a different username on it. I'm Blipsinthesystem. I haven't submitted anything yet, though. I used to be W0NWILL, but I changed it so people who haven't read Redwall won't be left out on my name.
I'm on FanFiction.net! User name is Free Thought- yeah I'm not very original. :P
I've written 2 complete stories and working on (cringes a little) 4 at the moment; well, 3 actively- the fourth I had to put on hiatus. They are all Redwall fanfics, but are for the mature crowd. If any are interested- feel free to check it out!
I have an account on Fanfiction.net. Haven't been on in a long while. My username is emeraldwolf64 ((at least its something like that, it has been a long time since I last got on so I can't remember exactly)), I have two stories on there that are horrendously written. I'm slowly working on rewriting them. One is Crestrise, the other is Terror from the North.
Well, I've said I'm on there, but to be a bit more specific, I'm Blazemane (http://www.fanfiction.net/~blazemane). No Redwall work yet, I'm afraid, but I'm hoping to fix that. So far, I've got work from Beast Wars (with a little touch of Terminator in a crossover work) and Kung Fu Panda.
I'm not sure if I should join...

There's definitely no pressure to! But what's got you wondering?
I'm not that good at writing :-[
P.S. 1000th Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm not that ggod at writing :-[
That never stopped me! :)
No, but seriously; I can empathize with the feeling. I have always felt myself (and I suspect my feelings on the matter are pretty much the truth) to be bad at drawing/painting/the visual arts in general. And, no, I don't usually share my attempts with the world. And there's no reason I should have to, I say.
But there are a few things to consider. One is that skill in any kind of art (like writing) increases with "practice" (writing fanfiction for fun is absolutely practice). I haven't moved beyond myself in the visual arts department because I very rarely find myself trying to draw. It just doesn't appeal to me that much. In your case with writing, though, I'm... kindof getting the feeling that you enjoy doing it? If you do, then that's basically what matters. I'm going to be a hypocrite, because I compare my writing with the work of better writers all the time and usually feel all the worse for it, but the actual enjoying of the process of writing ought to come from the story that you are creating. You might also get some enjoyment from the moments where you notice yourself improving, too, but I think for many writers, the main source of their passion comes from embracing their imagination--taking something inside their head and putting it outside their head.
I feel like I'm rambling because I'm trying to say two things at once. But, basically, 1.) Whatever your level of skill with writing may be right now, it isn't "your level" in the fullest sense. Writing gets better. 2.) The fact that, as of this moment, you might not be where you want to be, doesn't have to take away from your enjoyment of writing. I feel like the point of writing isn't skill, but imagination. ((EDIT:
Well... Skill does help you get your imagination across, of course. But many readers aren't put off so much by writing which isn't as polished as the work of highly experienced authors--what tends to get to people is when an author hasn't really tried to write with whatever skill and knowledge they have. It might be hard to tell the difference between dedicated writing and a lack of effort from time to time, but I think the indication of an author's level of effort often comes across in the attitude of their author's notes before and after their prose...))
But then... yeah. There's the part about putting your written imagination out where the rest of the world can see it--this is where people like me end up wishing we were as good as this person or that one at expressing ourselves. And again, I think I have two things to say.
1.) It is a risk, but a very small one. There are habitually mean-spirited people, and there are people who make occasional mean-spirited slipups. I don't know if you fear them, but I suppose flames are always technically a possibility. But I've never understood the point of flaming. It feels to me like it's based on the assumption that every writer who ever puts work online is claiming they are the best, and that their story is the best, so that it becomes the insulters' responsibility to "curb the writer's arrogance" as it were. Or, even worse, the flamers are unconsciously assuming that all work is written for their benefit, so that when they come across something they don't like, they get... offended, almost. I don't know. And even if the offense is a bit more legitimate--if it comes from an apparent lack of effort on the part of the writer--I don't see how angry ranting fixes the situation. I feel like flamers have no basis for what they do, so to me, their insults just comes across as a certain kind of empty, pointless. Still, I would understand perfectly if you ever felt hurt by a rude comment on your work.
2.) A huge part of the increase in one's skill in writing comes from hearing back from the constructively-minded people.
3.) O.k. I was wrong. I have a third thing to say! Just as there is risk, there is also opportunity. Fan writers generally do put their work up in hopes that someone will come along and really like what they have. That's part of the reason writers want to share their imagination--to see if other people can embrace it, too. And even if you think you're not that good writing, you will
absolutely either come across an equal amount or a greater amount of people who will embrace your story when it's available for them to see rather than when you keep it to yourself. You might, I am sorry to say, not find anyone who enjoys this story or that one or that one. But if you keep that story to yourself, you won't find anyone who enjoys this or that or that. If you enjoy writing, you may as well give it a go!

It took me a moment to get that. I was just kinda skimming before going back to Blaze's post, so I didn't really notice it until I was finished. Then I was like: "Oh, ha! Hahaha! How did I miss that?!" :P
FanFiction.net used to be quite a good place, but unfortunately now there's lots of complete rubbish and unfinished stories on there, so it makes it difficult to find the real stories. :(
It's going through a bit of a revival. There are a 'pawful' of us writing current Redwall fanfiction and a lot of them actually quite good stories.
The only way it will get larger again is if more people get on it and read the works. And most importantly review them. An author feeling like they are writing for nobody is not very inspired to continue the story...
Sorry, I meant FanFiction.net as a whole, not just the Redwall stories. :)

yeah my sister is a member and has been for a while she loves it when she gets a review she writes for the Les Miserable fanfiction. I've just joined my user name is Running Colours and I've posted a one shot but I am going to post one of my on going fic's soon :)
I'm still a member! I mostly write for Warriors, but I will try to write a Redwall fic at some point. :)
What's your pen name again, Tiria? I wouldn't mind reading some of your fics. ;)
I'm Contrary To Popular Belief. I only have one story going at the moment, but that will probably change. :)
I've read a few fanfics on their, but there aren't any good ones about the book High Rhulain.

I know, right? >:(
There's some decent stuff on there, though. I haven't read any Redwall fics on there, but I've found some good stuff. The best is undoubtedly "Blue Sky (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7434133/1/Blue_Sky)", a Portal 2 fanfic. Very spectacular - for a game that has so few characters, with the protagonist not speaking at all, he nailed their personalities perfectly. It's as long as an actual book, too. Some fans are working on a project to turn it into a free audiobook online.
Ah, yes, I love it when people write a full multi-chapter story that's as long as a real book. ;D I read one Hunger Games fanfic, and afterwards I actually caught myself thinking it was one of the real books. :P
sounds cool my sister reads me the stuff on Fanfiction.net b/c my mum doesn't want me reading some of the not so nicefic's on there ;)
I have an account, but I never actually got around to publishing any Redwall stuff since I was kind of out of the fandom at that point. But I do have a couple Watership Down ones, and an uncompleted Warrior Cats one. Username is Keeralie Starflight.
Cool I'm trying to write the next chapter of my long Fanfiction which I've posted on here. But I just end up staring at the blank page >:( I HATE WRITERS BLOCK!!!
Me too. *pats on the back*

Read Free Thought' s stuff. It is as long as an actual Redwall book!
I love Free Thought's fic's one she posted on here called Guided Paws was brilliant it brought me to tears :'(
Revive!
I just got an account last night. If anyone cares, my profile's here (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/6715511/).
EDIT: And just so there's no confusion, my real name is not my FanFiction username. XP
I have been on this site before, and really like it. My favorites come from the Sherlock section. I post all of my stuff on Wattpad. Pretty cool place if you want others to read your work. My account is here (http://www.wattpad.com/user/mscott1106), just incase anyone would like to check out the site or my profile. Warning though, some of the stories on there can get pretty nasty, so I would give it a quick look-see before you dive in.
- PoM
Nothing is lost forever, it seems!
I like the redwall archive (of course), but the Mad Max archive has some pretty good stories.
If anyone is looking for good LotR/Silmarillion fanfics on ff.net, go to Epilachna's profile and check out some of her stories. She's amazing.
Yeah, Epilachna is great. (Another good author is boz4PM)
I have an account on ff.n and have posted a few stories (Ranger's Apprentice fanfics, mostly), though not for a while and the ones I have posted make me cringe every time I read them.
I'm currently working on a Redwall fanfic but I haven't started posting it yet.
*Is excited.*
You should be. It's really good.
It's really not particularly great. I don't think it's too bad but I've certainly read better.
