I still have no idea what people see in Fairy Tail aside from the hot girls. Is FT just so inspiring that it drives tens of thousands of people into writing fanfiction?

>>280850056 (OP)
Naruto has multiple pairings within the main cast, a pseudo love triangle, and the homoerotic NaruSasu bond which makes it prime for fanfic. I’ve read quite a few and a lot of them are just Naruto power fantasies where he’s an overpowered Sasuke clone with the rinnegan that takes revenge on Konoha or he’s paired up with every girl since he’s the MC. Naruto is the most blatant battle shonen MC self insert

what could be so interesting about volleyball that they make over 100k fics about it

>>280850246
Still don’t get how for SnK Eren/Levi is the more popular homo ship then Eren/Armin. The latter are best friends and had actual moments cut from the anime because they were considered too gay

>>280850088
No idea I remember watching around 70 episodes of the original run in a weekend and honestly I don't remember a single thing from it other than it being mind numbingly boring.
>>280850321
Armin is an ugly faggot crybaby no one likes him simple as.

>>280850056 (OP)
Back at 2010 Bleach was #2 at like 60k fics.
The end of the Arrancar arc killed Bleach's fanfiction scene and the anime being cancelled lowered the coffin.

>>280850810
>literal headcanon
lol daipa

>>280850088
Fairy tale you can tell endless stories with the characters or some oc/cross over joining a guild.
The real question is what the fuck are Yugioh fics. Is it literally all yaoi?

>>280850842
Don't try it post 2016 Bleach newfan, fan art is one thing but don't even pretend like the Bleach fanfiction scene is alive.
Where are the Bleach stories? They're not on a03 and they're not on ffn, they're not on royal road and they're not on spacebattles.

>>280850056 (OP)
>Big 3
>Naruto, Inuyasha, Hetalia

>>280850246
I still don't understand how Hetalia became such a huge hit compared to other fujobait series of the period with a better anime, better art style and better at fujobaiting.

>>280850056 (OP)

i dont think anyone uses FFN anymore, they've all moved to AO3

Why would anyone read english language fanfiction about japanese anime? And why would you write it? Just smash some of your favorite characters together and change their names and make a "new" "original" work like every narou

>>280852589
why do anything if you're EOP bro?

just learn JP oh wait, you will NEVER learn japanese

Boomer ass OP, what year do you think it is?

I remember there was a plot about a cool girl with a sword who defeated some edgelord and they probably love each other

This is the one and only fanficiton I've ever read, and I only did it on empathic recommendation from some anon.
Very fucking good.
I'm scared to dip my toes into anything else, even other Tanya fanfics.

>>280850088
Lots of fun characters, cool world, basically any kind of magic can fit the setting. It's almost the perfect series for fanfics, and I think people forget how popular it was back in its heyday.

>>280852681
nah op is correct for using ff.net as a guide for older series. the true test is trying to find old LJ, forums, and self hosted sites for older content. I'll never get over forum death and russians buying LJ

>>280852589
>Why would anyone read english language fanfiction about japanese anime?
Japanese fanfiction usually sucks complete ass and is made out of spite (and if not that, it's porn).
For every high effort Seventh Stand User, there's dozens of "Holy FUCK Tomino RUINED Gundam with Zeta, here is my rewrite where 90% of the cast is chicks with big tits" (this is a real thing I saw in the JP fanfic scene).

In short, where western fanfiction is primarily fueled by horny women, Japanese fanfiction is primarily fueled by horny (and lonely) men. The former makes for better fanfic.

>>280853296
Youjo Senki has an strangely high amount of high quality fanfiction

>>280854117
I'm considering "A Young Woman's Delinquency Record"
Is it good?

>>280854255
>A Young Woman's

Oh shit a fanfiction thread on /a/?
Finally, a good thread.

>>280850246
that's just fujos

>Japanese fanfiction usually sucks complete ass and is made out of spite
LIES.
I've been binge-reading the fanfiction section on Pixiv for the past year, and it's basically what EN was in the 2000s.
Also,
>western fanfiction is primarily fueled by horny women, Japanese fanfiction is primarily fueled by horny (and lonely) men. The former makes for better fanfic.
What a sad view. People of all genders and demographics write whatever they think is fun.

>>280850056 (OP)
checks out

>>280854255
Ehh it's alright.
A Young Girl's Outer Heaven is pretty good. So is A Young Girl's War Between the Stars.
A Young Girl's Game of Thrones is good too despite being abandoned

Why is One Piece so uninspiring?

>>280858446
its inspired

>>280858446
One Piece is too large. Any story that doesn't involve the Strawhats might as well be original fiction and then why are you writing a One Piece fanfiction?

>>280850088
Passionate shipping fanbase

>>280850890
>Where are the Bleach stories? They're not on a03
Yes they are

>>280860225
Bleach anime was cancelled 2012 March. From there to now there are 23,150 fics. When you exclude crossovers which is the FFN number. 26,366 with crossovers
Naruto 2012 March - now there are 120,234 fics. When you exclude crossovers there are 105,312
JJK has 76,498
MHA has 328,077

Where are the stories?

>>280850088
>Is FT just so inspiring that it drives tens of thousands of people into writing fanfiction?
Correct.

>>280850321
Even Eren/Jean was more popular than Eren/Armin back in 2014 tumblr kek, fujos really didn't like Armin and were scrambling to ship the MC with anyone other than him

>>280850056 (OP)
Only good series get over 50k fanfics I see.

>>280850056 (OP)
>not a single modern series
Are zoomers not into fanfic?

>>280863717
modern series dont have actual stories or interesting worlds, so all they get is memes and porn

>>280854317
When was the last one? New years? That was a good thread.

>>280863717

>>280851149
>compared to other fujobait series of the period
Any examples?

>>280858446
>>280860120
This plus it's on-going. Series that are actively getting new content are harder to write for because old shit gets ret-conned
Or at least that's my cope for why the To Aru series has fuck all for fanfics

>>280850246
God i fucking hate how Ao3 does crossover tagging. If i want a Youjo senki or ASOIAF crossover i want an actual crossover not for the 'other crossover' to be Youjo Senki (Manga), Youjo Senki(Light novel), Youjo Senki (Anime) or Game of thrones.

spacebattles is so bad they're literally restricting what you can write about, why do people use it as a main place to post fictions i'll never know. Ao3 is aids to navigate through, I genuinely can't be fucked shoveling through shit just to find a fic that's been discontinued years ago.

>>280864165
Because you get way better engagement and discussion on SB compared to any other site outside of author circlejerking discords. Anything that gets banned on SB goes to QQ anyways which is literally the same site but 90% porn.

Any good Fate fanfics?

Odd, I thought Ranma would be higher. People loved their ranma fics back in the day.

>>280864692
The old fanfic scene fragmented and never recovered. A lot of fics were hosted on dead sites and are now lost forever.
ff net is basically on its last legs and I have no idea how it's even still around. The site barely even works half the time and stuff disappears without a notice from the servers rotting away.

>ff.net

ok boomer

>>280860770
A lot of fangirls were mad about the endgame couples, so they dropped Bleach. The last arc and ending being so generally unsatisfying didn't help either. I have a few FFN authors on my favorites who deleted their Bleach fics or just everything about their profile.

>Trunks can potentially romance nearly any girl in anime according to Fanfiction.net
Based?

>>280850056 (OP)
that place is for fujos, why would you determine SHONEN big 3 based on which characters fujos like to imagine as being gay

>>280865367
>that place is for fujos
Nope, that's AO3.

What are dragon ball fanfics even about? The series is averse to romance despite married couples. Making romance fanfics about dragon ball feel so wrong

>>280865463
That's exactly what they are. Most of them are just Vegeta Bulma fics.

>>280850056 (OP)
>MLP doesn't even have 1/10th of the entries Naruto has
What in the actual fuck????

I wonder how many Naruto fics are written by boys? There are so many where he’s completely OOC and unhinged. They have him hating Sakura, the entire village, and they make his backstory even more tragic. Shit feels like they’re written by nardo self inserters who wanted him to be more like Sasuke and vengeful. I can’t imagine girls writing them

>>280866205
mlp has their own dedicated fanfic site so the number on FF don't accurately reflect how many fics there actually are.

>>280864600
What are you looking for?

>>280866361
Even then, Naruto eclipses MLP in fanfiction.

>>280850056 (OP)
It's hard for people nowadays to comprehend how big the Naruto and Inuyasha fandoms were in the 00's and Hetalia in the early 10's.

>>280850246
To this day I still don't get how Haikyuu became such a mega hit among fujos when it looks like a generic anime sport slop and the guys are not even cute, unlike Free! or even Kuroko no Basket.

>>280850088
Fairy tail used to be popular with women, people forget that it has not only attractive girls but also attractive guys. And women love to write romance between attractive characters. I was into reading a lot of FT fanfics back in 2014 and I assure you that most of them were blatantly written by women (and many hadn't even read the series beyond wikipedia summaries or YouTube videos).

>>280852543
I still crosspost
>>280852589
Don't have the language skills to write in Japanese

>>280867954
i still remember a bit from when I was a kid in the late 2000's and when I was in school. Shit was so crazy I loved it

>>280865367
I mean, it's quite accurate.
Shounen editors always tell mangaka to shove in fujo pandering if they want the series to be popular because fujobux are huge.

>>280865367
Inuyasha fanfictions are just poorly hidden fantasies of girls inserting themselves as Kagome into whatever series and seducing every male.
At least nowadays, writers put in big text
>SELF INSERT or /READER
to let you know.

>>280860168
The only correct answer. FT has never been perceived as a good manga, even at its peak, everyone just cares about how hot the characters are and who wants to fuck who.

>>280850056 (OP)
>Hetalia
What the fuck is this shit?

>>280850056 (OP)
big 3 is shonen jump manga sales while being serialized at the same time

>>280850246
Characters, you idiot. Fics are about characters.

>>280863717
FF in general is an older site and most of the newer writers primarily use AO3 or Wattpad. Obviously some still crosspost but in general for new fanfics you will find them mostly in AO3.

>>280869441
I miss the times when fandom stuff was mostly concentrated on livejournal... everything went to shit after tumblr started to replace lj.

>>280852468
Keep seething

>>280850056 (OP)
And every other fanfic is just the cast living in the real world with no powers
>tags; post-rape trauma, survivors guilt, stds, depression, suicidal thoughts

>>280858446
Women write fanfics and women aren't really into OP.

>>280850056 (OP)
Surprised AOT isn't up there. Did the fic scene collapse way before the ending arc?
I remember it taking the admins fucking forever to merge SNK with AOT.

>>280873882
All the AoT fics are on ao3. No on uses FF.net post 2010

>>280865463
Women really like Vegeta, so there's tons of Vegeta/Bulma and Vegeta/Goku fics out there.
And Trunks/Self-insert OC ones

>>280850056 (OP)
I can barely keep up with official content today. I can't imagine why the fuck anyone would reach fan fiction

>>280850056 (OP)
i dont think naruto is that big anymore

>>280850056 (OP)
I feel like a decent amount of those Yu-Gi-Oh fics are OCs dueling against other OCs with modern decks that they like in the anime settings. Obviously, the anime characters are given their modern support. I've only ever seen a handful that actually write decent duels though.
