Are you bothered by those crazy fangirls/boys? - Page 6

Is there such a thing as a good TMNT fanfic? One that is not full of unimaginative OCs, questionable breeding or over the top depressing crap?

There is, buddy. You just have to search carefully. For example https://www.fanfiction.net/u/31194/Venka-le-fay this girl writes a bunch of good stuff. One of the dromers posted her name in their signature. Can't remember who was her, tough. But it was a girl.

To be fair, it's good to have a little bit of life-and-death type drama and angst, otherwise there'd be no dilemma for the characters to overcome. But yea some people take it way too far. I once read the synopsis for a fan fiction where April and Casey had a child who was accusing Raphael of molesting her. I'm like WTF, dude?! I seriously had a right mind to give that author a piece of my mind! There are some subjects that just don't belong in a story about the Ninja Turtles or any other iconic comic book character... except maybe Deadpool.

Thanks for the link, Busdara. I'll be sure to check it out!

Of course there is! If you haven't found any, you're not looking. Of course, if you're counting all OCs out of the running from the start just for being OCs, t-cest and/or slash (which I assume you mean by 'questionable breeding' and not 'whose kid is this' drama), and anything sad, you're probably hanging yourself with your own rope. Sex and tragedy are what most of literature is all about.

The more exclusive you are, the less you're going to find to your liking. Book, cover.

I'm rather happy with how I've treated my own OCs in this respect, because I KNOW what kind of flak OCs in general get. Mine don't show up until Ch 10, and they're a side-plot rather than the main one, and they're a rather unique bunch (a 9-yr old raccoon, an elderly (now literal) cat lady and one of her cats, a giant, mostly mute seagull, and a black beetle).

In fact, if you want a couple good stories with none of the above, check out some of hummerhouse's non-t-cest stuff: Capture Series, Viand, The Third Deadly Sin, and I don't recall a lot of t-cest in Spool, so there's probably not enough in there to bother you.

I've come to hold hummer as one of the gold standards in TMNT fanfic.

Nothing is wrong with well developed, and fleshed out OC's. The sad truth is most are mary sue-ists, or female clones of the Turtles. There are plenty of decent OC's though, so that's not something that turned me off of Turtle fanfics back when I actively read and wrote them myself. T-cest though, that immediately is a red flag to avoid at all cost, I think it's disgusting and does a disservice to the characters that they are being based on. Angst for the sake of angst is another issue, but tragedy can be justified.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-09-2015, 05:24 PM

Yes, neatoman, there are some great fan fics out there. It may be hard to find them, but they DO exist. There are many authors I admire who post on these boards, and their work is great and very well-written. You could always check out the Fan Works section and find some good stories there.

*Katie* · 03-10-2015, 06:53 AM

I used to write and never added sex or random fan insert relationships. I find that stuff silly

The thing is, Sue or not, 4 turtle love interests or not, T-cest or not, it's all stuff people made to entertain themselves, first and foremost. Then they hold it up and say, "Look, I made a thing," and get shouted down for it. Sometimes you're not looking to be a master of your craft... sometimes you're just looking for fulfillment of something you're not getting from the show (or other media). And we don't leap from the womb able to write great fic or knowing what or what makes for "good" writing (which is subjective, in the end). Everybody wants to see things their own way, hence the inundation and prevalance of such tropes.

One thing I've found when it comes to t-cest is that not all t-cest is created equal. It's not all about sex... some of it is just being sweet to each other, some is romantic, some is about rape and subterfuge... It runs the gamut. And I've seen some that's better written and more interesting (and better justified) than some turtle x human fics.

You can think what you want to think about it, but whatever your opinion is of it, someone's is contrary, and it, and their work, are also allowed to exist.

Fact of the matter is, the show doesn't even delve into romantic interests (and even if they did, someone would find a way to nix those for writing their own version), and so they fans start extrapolating to fill in the gaps to their own liking.

And, see, you don't have to have it in there... but to me, it's a missing element in the "reality" of the show. And because of BS&P, it's something you never will have in the show.

Dude. I'm one of those weird fanboys who draws and writes turtlecest. No worse than slash tranformers.

I judge nobody.

I find some turtlecest, too, which are romantic, sweet and show a great relationship between the turtles. I was just only curious about the opinions on this topic. No harsh feelings. Sorry, if I offended somebody.

Don't even mention the slash transformers... I was pretty shocked when I discovered such a thing exists. Nope, apparently shocked isn't the right word.

But there must be some nice stories and pictures as well. I just have no intention of searching.

You should join us in the AD section; we have a few threads specifically for this topic and pimping of adult fics written/recommended by some of our members.

As far as slash Transformers go - I will say again: there is adult fic and adult art of everything.

I'll echo that invitation.

Aaaand that's why they call it a rule of the internet. ;p (Though why it hasn't been bumped up to rule 1 by now, just by popularity/use, heck if I know.)

I've been wondering that myself, actually, LOL! Why it's down at 34, I'll never understand, especially since.....

I mean he's awesome and a highly worthy choice, but lets face it, the guy doesn't tend to win "favorites" polls. So if costuming choice leans in his direction among casual fans, I'm betting it's the weaponry.

aliena · 03-15-2015, 07:43 PM

I'm not a fangirl, I'm a fanwoman and I have been for a while now. I must admit that I was shocked when I first saw Leo and Raph together in a sexual way. I never thought I'd like reading it or looking at pictures, but after having read some fantastic fanfiction by a particular author(Hummerhouse) I was won over. I'm very open minded about how people enjoy their fandom. I would never judge anyone for how they celebrated something they love. I also appreciate canon and I am happy to love or leave it too.

I agree with this. I love finding new t-cest authors to follow.
