here ya go, Anna Karenina set in the Frozen 'verse

Okay, I haven't tried to kill it, but I wish I could at least put it on a diet. This thing is turning into an epic in my head, like some kind of crazy Disney direct-to-video sequel written by a Russian novelist.

Hey folks,
(If you read this general introduction paragraph in one of my other threads, it's just copied directly over, in case this thread is the only one you look at, so feel free to skip over it, if you've read it already.)
So, I've been writing away and posting up my works intermittently for quite a while now, and I've always deeply craved feedback, or all sorts. Mostly I want to share my stories with anyone who'd care to read it, but beyond that, I very much welcome anyone who can offer comments, even if they're just notes to say things they liked or didn't, what things they felt worked, or didn't. Thus far, I've been unable to get anything but praise from readers, which, while I deeply appreciate it (and if you're so inclined, I do love it), doesn't help me improve, so I'm equally eager to hear from readers who can tear my work apart, pick all the holes and really put me through the wringer of detailed feedback.
For a time, I checked back on my works, but, while views steadily climb, very rare is it that anyone reviews; all bar one of my submissions here remain on a solitary, lonely zero. Then, the other day, a friend told me that if I really wanted to grab the eye of readers who would feel inclined to comment back, then I really ought to swing over this way and put up promotion threads for them here. Turns out, this was a novel idea for me, so, here I am.

This last set is notably less mainstream, and is a much more personal series of works. It is a series of ten fictions (soon to be eleven) that run alongside each other, and trace the stories, adventures, and intimate encounters of my own characters from the Lord of the Rings Online MMO, with each character representing one Class from the game.
Many of them only have their introductory backgrounds posted as of yet, but a few have a respectable number of chapters to them, with more in the works. Much of what is seen in these chapters has some reflection of possible game events, areas, interactions or quest lines, but a lot of it, equally, will not. I shy away from retelling known in-game quests and story lines. Rather, I aim for realism, and realistic characters; individuals who are ordinary people first, and archetypes second.
For the most part, they run separately for now, but my goal is to reach a point with each of them where they begin to tie up with one another.
By definition, what you will read in these tales will be heavily OC focused, and you don't need to be familiar with the game (though some familiarity with general Tolkien lore would probably be helpful) to appreciate or enjoy them... however, those who are familiar with the game should hopefully find little bits and pieces that add in a twist of familiarity or nostalgia here and there.
Unlike my other works on here, these tales don't shy away from the unpleasant, often nastier and rougher sides of life and trying to live in this sort of world and setting. Some of them go to some dark places.... and I don't mean Moria.
Like all my other work, however, I want eagerly to her anything anyone has to say or offer or add, good or bad.

As always, even if you only look at one and have a comment or criticism you'd like to pass along, I welcome and encourage it.

Its true. They're like some sort of vampiric hydra that way.

From what my writer friends tell me, attempting to kill the plot bunnies simply makes them multiply.

I wouldn't worry. Magical flying reindeer have very little heat signature. And if the missile is radar-guided, well, that's why Santa invented tinsel.

Wow. Suddenly my situation doesn't look so bad. At least my mom isn't involved.

This story recently won DevilDuck's FABULOUS FUTA contest on Hentai Foundry, so I thought I'd promote it here for those who might be interested. It beat stories from several serious futa writers, so I was pretty excited.

Some cartoons just have that effect. Like when I saw Watership Down and had bunny plot bunnies.

You do realize that plot bunnies are impossible to actually kill, don't you? They just respawn, and you never know what they'll pick up on their way back. Trust me on this.

My cable company made all the premium channels free over Thanksgiving weekend, so I recorded some movies. One of these was Frozen, because I wanted to know what half the kids on the planet Earth were so excited about.
So a few nights ago, I watched it. And frankly, I thought it was brilliant. Not only did it have great music and wonderful visuals, but it's written really well: The writers know that this is probably not your first Disney movie, and that you therefore have certain expectations about what is going to happen. And they use those expectations to completely screw with you, in some really good ways.
So now, fresh off NaNoWriMo with well over a dozen neglected in-progress stories waiting for me to work on them, I find that there is a stupid, stupid, stupid Frozen fanfic writing itself in my head. And the only thing I fear more than the shame of writing it is the disappointment of not writing it.
For Christ's sake, I'm a childless man in my mid-forties. Shouldn't I be immune to this sort of nonsense? I mean, it's freakin' DISNEY.
Please kill me. Then the bunnies. Then me again, just to be sure.

still got it

Man, she's pushy huh?

I'll swoop into the conversation, if you guys don't mind.
I've seen this character bashing thing, it is annoying and usually completely random in plot wise. Ha ha, I think I've even done it myself back when I was a teenager, though. I laugh at myself
I haven't really read HP fics, but I agree that it's completely absurd to make a character get over a rape, like, in one night. I too know people who have been victims of that form of violence and I've seen how hard it is to get over that. It might take even for years.
I've been reading mainly Batman fics myself, and I've sort of made my peace with the type of fics I've had issues with. The issues I had were mostly related to the pointless and extreme rape/gore/abuse, especially with the fics involving the Joker, one of my favorite characters. However, lately I've been annoyed by that some writers don't do their background research, especially concidering psychiatry. I know, I know, it's not exactly realistic in Batman canon, either, but even some realism would be nice, please.

Hello,
I'm not new-new but I've been lurking while slowly feeling out the forums and beginning to interact.
I'm AquaTonic on AFF, I joined when I initially started to venture into writing more mature content than was appropriate for FF.Net. I've been writing since I was about 12 or 13, starting with fan fiction and then progressed into wanting to write something of my own. Because I had a huge horde of fan fic ideas, I wanted to finish those but decided I can rearrange the plot to make it into an original fic instead. I have one fan fic left to finish and then I'm purely dedicated to my own original works.
It's nice to meet everyone and I hope to get to know you more as I start being more active on the forums!

“I’ve signed up with the AFF archive, so does that mean I’ve automatically joined the forum as well?"

No, it doesn’t; they’re entirely different entities, meaning you have to sign up with the forum separately if you wish to join.
Some people have trouble signing up for the forum, but if you actually spend time reading the information that’s provided to you during the sign-up process then you really can’t go wrong.

I'll jump in on this and I like how BronxWench pointed out 'why are you angry' part.
It really burns my ass...when someone assumes I want unsolicited advice/help trying to lose weight and that it will 'improve my marriage'.
Why does this make me angry? I'm finally happy in my own skin after years of hating myself, my body/my choice/mind your business, it's a rude topic to bring up, ever, especially when first meeting someone, this topic triggers my past ED, and I have a great marriage but thanks for asking.

Hello, I saw this topic while I surfed around this forum in general, trying to get familiar with the interface XD. So, I'm Industrial_Cortex, and I'm writing original fiction. I'm hoping to participate in the community.

While we cannot do anything about offsite downloaders, we certainly DO NOT have to allow links to such sites here. WE respect the authors wishes to keep their downed work down, where they've removed it from the internet. So should you.

I came of age in the 70s, and honestly, the term feminism has been abused, mutated, morphed, and Photoshopped into something Gloria Steinem and Bella Abzug would poke gingerly with a stick before calling for a tactical strike (delivered by a completely kick-ass woman fighter pilot).
I have no use for the SJW terrorists who run rampant waving plagiarized banners and trying to earn their metaphoric balls on the back of someone else's sacrifice. You want cred with me? Grow up and become Rosa Parks, or Marie Curie, or Hedy Lamarr. BUILD it up, don't tear it down and think you deserve praise, because you don't, not until you contribute something more than being a cyber-bully.

You go Bronx, so what burns my ass is some wet behind the ears turtle telling me that after thirty tears in my chosen profession that I don't know what I'm doing! I think I may need a medic in my class, one of my students is a bleeder!

30580 That's brilliant
