Fan Fiction Directory

[James Gryphon]

The purpose of this topic is to allow users to more readily access and gain information regarding the fan fiction that's been posted on this forum; I hope this will be a useful resource in allowing users to find stories that suit their tastes. I can't promise it will be regularly updated, but we can do our best, eh?

If you are looking for a specific story listed here, hold down the CTRL key while pressing the "F" key to bring up your browser's search function. Mac users should hold down the COMMAND key while pressing "F." You can search stories by title, author, tags, or any keyword.

If you see a mistake in the Directory, would like your story's entry updated or changed in any way, or have any questions/comments/concerns regarding the Fanfiction Directory topic, feel free to PM Cornflower. If you don't receive a response within 7 days, please contact another staff member.

The manner in which this directory is organized is fairly self explanatory. You can read details about the individual Directory posts here:

"Directory Topic Posts"

All entries are listed alphabetically by title within each post, meaning each post begins with "A" and ends with "Z," unless otherwise stated.  Articles ("the," "a," "an,") are ignored for alphabetical purposes if they begin a title.

Listed first are any contests, events, and series pertaining to fan fiction. This post serves as a quick way to locate stories which are closely related to each other, such as entries to an event, or different parts to one novel or series. Expired contests and events are at the bottom of the post; new, upcoming, or in-progress contests or events (user-run or otherwise) will be entered at the center of the post until they are completed or expired. Story series occupy the top of the post.
For a series of works to be eligible for this list, there must be three or more parts posted in their own threads in the fan fiction forum.

The works listed here are not tagged, only linked to for the purpose of keeping them together. If you would like to find the discussion topic for, or read the summary of, a particular work listed in this post, you must find its entry in one of the following posts of this Directory.

In the next post are all of the completed fanfictions in this forum. These are stories, poems, and the like which have been completed entirely. They are divided into "prose" (written stories, as like in a novel) and "lyrical" ( poetry, songs, and any non-prose works of Redwall fan fiction.)

Following the completed stories are the in-progress, abandoned, and/or hiatus fan fictions in this forum. These are stories that have not been completed for any reason; some may never be finished. Please do not harass authors to update or complete their stories. Entries are divided into "prose" (written stories, as like in a novel) and "lyrical" (poetry, songs, and any non-prose works of Redwall fan fiction.)

The second-to-last post consists of untagged stories, which are fan fictions posted to this forum that have not yet been reviewed in their entirety by a moderator. They will be assessed, tagged, and then placed in one of the posts above. They are not listed in any particular order, only kept here for organizational purposes. If a work has not been listed here or in one of the above posts, a moderator has not yet seen it.

The final post contains tips, strategies, and links to various resources directed at helping Redwall fans improve their writing.

And extended details about the manner in which entries are formatted can be seen here, including a list of tags and what they pertain to:

"Entries and Tags"

TITLE  - AUTHOR - DISCUSSION THREAD
LENGTH
SUMMARY
TAGS

Title: the title of the work.
Author: the user who has written/is writing the work.
Commentary: Some authors would prefer any and all commentary for their stories to remain in one place. If you wish to discuss, review, or in any way comment on a work in this forum, you must use the discussion thread for it if the author has made one available. That thread is linked to here.
Length: only applies to stories listed under the "completed works" post. Length is estimated by word count with a small margin of error.
Summary: a brief summary of the work. If the summary is not author-submitted, a mod has attempted to both explain the story and to not spoil it for potential readers; authors are encouraged to submit their own summaries. (Please try to keep it under 100 words). Summaries can be submitted by PM to Osu, or any other moderator.
Tags: a searchable list of tags pertaining to the work. Tags are meant to help readers find works they may be interested in, or would like to avoid. As with the summary, the tags are not meant to spoil the work, only to help users navigate through all of the fiction on the forum. The number of tags will vary based on the content of the work; a work having many or no tags does not indicate anything inherently good or bad about the work itself. Tags used are as follows:

[COMEDY] - the story is made up of a significant amount of humorous material, or contains a small amount in enough detail to warrant the tag.
[SAD] - tragedies, tearjerkers, angst, anything likely to invoke feelings of sadness or melancholy in the reader; or there are very few sad scenes but they are done with enough detail to warrant a tag.
[GRIM] - The story is meant to convey or contains a significant amount of dark, depressive, hopeless, disturbing, and/or forbidding and/or morbid events, characters, and/or settings.
[DRAMA] - a story focusing on any situation or series of events having vivid, emotional, conflicting, or striking interests or results. Typically focuses on character development and inner conflict as brought about by character flaws.
[FLIP] - (Good Vermin and/or Evil Woodlanders.) The story focuses on or contains a significant number of good vermin and/or evil goodbeasts; this tag includes "gray" characters.
[ADVENTURE] - adventure. the plot consists of characters traveling to a far-away destination, and/or questing for an object/person/place.
[MYSTERY] - the central plot is based around a mystery.
[EERIE] - stories meant to scare the reader, and/or stories that contain a significant amount of potentially scary material; also stories that are supernaturally based, or are meant to be unsettling in any way; also stories with significant content referencing ghosts, spirits, and the like in a more dramatic manner than what is seen in the canon books, but not necessarily scary.
[ACTION] - the story contains a significant amount of fighting, warfare, or any kind of violence typical to a Redwall book, or may contain only a small amount of such in enough detail to warrant a tag; includes the after-effects of battle as well, such as detailed descriptions of wounds.
[SPOILER] - the story contains content, characters, or refers to specific plot points from one or more of the original canon books.
[ROMANTIC] - the central plot of the story centers around a romance, and/or there is a significant amount of romance or romantic elements present in the story, and/or there is very little romance present but it is in enough detail to warrant the tag.
[AU] - alternate universe. The story takes place in a setting which is significantly different from the original Redwall universe, and/or the story contains significant elements which would not be found in the canon universe.
[MIMESIS] - (Character-centric; imitating life.) Covers stories that fall under the "slice of life," "general," and "light drama" genres. Stories may consist of no conflict or very little conflict; the story is meant to convey a simple picture of everyday life; and/or the story is very character-focused without any drastic events or results one way or the other; and/or there isn't enough of the story posted to formulate a different tag, i.e., there is character interaction and little else.
[SILLYFIC] - (also known as 'crackfic.') Typically consists of no plot or very little plot; usually meant to be humorous. The story consists entirely of totally ridiculous and/or unbelievable events and/or characters for which there is no reasonable, logical explanation.
[FLUFF] - the story contains a significant amount of or is centered around totally sweet, endearing, adorable, and/or comforting events and/or characters; and/or the story is meant to invoke warm and fuzzy feelings in the reader.
[XOVER] - crossover. The story makes use of another established fictional universe (or certain plot elements thereof) along with the canon Redwall universe (or significant plot elements thereof.)
[INSERT] - a real person, place, or event is inserted into the Redwall universe, or vice versa.
[THRILLER] - action without violence, and/or fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat conflict, and/or intense, exciting, or stressful scenes make up the majority of the work; suspense may play a major role in the conflict, or the threat of death in an otherwise non-violent setting may also be given this tag.

Tags may be added to this list as necessary.

Not every thread within the fan fiction child board is listed here. Anything that is not a Redwall fan fiction or does not directly pertain to a Redwall fic posted in this forum is not listed in this directory. This might include story planning threads (e.g., "I'm thinking about writing a story on xyz, what do you guys think?"), works which are not posted directly to the forum (e.g., "here is a link to my story."), and the like, with very few exceptions.

If you haven't already, please familiarize yourself with the forum rules before posting your stories here. Happy reading and writing!
