Nova's Fanfics & Fanart

[Bossa Nova]

Hey turtle fans, I'm feeling curious enough to pimp out my fanfic and fanart here. I'll post the direct links to my FF.net account and DA account here and continue to update this thread with any new works. Would love to hear your thoughts, either here or on my accounts

Fanart starts on Page 2

Up first, my very first completed fanfiction:

Title: Donatello's Spot
Summary: At the ripe age of seventeen, Donatello understands his place in the world. Years with only one another for comfort and company have created a tight and orchestrated balance within the Hamato clan. When his brothers test these assumptions, however, Don is presented with a lingering confusion over his own identity.

I've put more work into this thing that it borders on ridiculous, so I admit I'm rather pleased, if not slightly apprehensive, about it. Hopefully in the near future I can plug my other, longer fic, though I'd like to dust that off and get it more off the ground before doing so. As for DS, I already have the rest of the story written, it just needs to be edited and cleaned up a bit more before I post it.

I'd prefer any comments, suggestions, questions, and whatnot left on fanfiction.net as I frequent that site a lot more and it makes it easier for me to keep everything all together in one spot, but of course I won't slight you if it's left here either

Just left you a review on FF. I'll be checking out your other stuff, too. Good job.

[Bossa Nova]

Awesome! Thank you for doing so I'm really excited to get Reasonable Doubt off the ground and posted here as it should be considerably longer than DT.

[ZariusTwo]

Your story made me log onto that site for the first time in four years and review something. Good job.

[Bossa Nova]

I sincerely hope that was meant in earnest and not sarcasm (as I don't see an actual review on the site to prove otherwise, I'm going to assume it was), and I very much appreciate it

I did leave a review, but for some reason it's not showing up yet. I'll try again.

It was a good story, that's genuine.

[TheCanadiandrome]

very cool! good job

[Bossa Nova]

Thank you both very much. It's been quite some time since I've put my writing out for the public so your feedback is very appreciated!

And although there are some seriously talented artists on this site, I figure it can't hurt to toss in my own recent little piece of fanart. It's nothing special and should be quite obvious I've never drawn anything quite like the Turtles before, but I'm glad to finally have it up and it feels nice breaking that barrier into the realm of TMNT fanart, and hopefully I'll be able to refine my style on them a bit more.

In any case, more fiction coming soon Have quite a bit already written, it's the editing which is slowing everything down.

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Awesome art. I really like how you've drawn Don and Raph. Good job.

Take your time and you'll be butter.

I love your fan-art, nice unique blend of a standard Turtle pose with a chibi-esque look that makes them look too cute for words. Don't get worried if you're "new" to this, TMNT is very flexable to new interpretations, and yours is definatly welcome.

[Bossa Nova]

Thank you very much! I'm excited as my beta says she should have my edits for Donatello's Spot ready in the next day or so, and I've recently fleshed out a ton on the outline for Reasonable Doubt.

I also really appreciate the positive comments on my fanart My beta agrees with me in that my style is very obvious "girly", though she says it isn't a bad thing, just different from what she's used to with seeing the turtles. That wasn't really my intention for them (and here I was thinking I had done a pretty good job making things 'rougher'!), but I'm thankful they still look cute. I've got a few more sketches for them in the works (it's a lot more fun to play with their poses and whatnot now that I've got a better idea about how their anatomy works), though those may take awhile to put up as my access to a scanner is pretty limited.

Anyway, thanks again, I'm really glad to have such welcoming responses, and with the new show starting up soon it's even easier to immerse myself with new ideas. Hopefully the next time I post it will be with chapter 2 of Donnie's Spot

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome. Can't wait to read it.

[Bossa Nova]

Chapter two of Donatello's Spot is now up, here be a link : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8476849/2/Donatellos-Spot

I very much hope it is enjoyable, my beta and I spent quite a lot of work on it and I am rather pleased myself with the way it turned out. Once again, I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas on it, and I admit, I'm most excited to get chapter three posted as well.

[ZariusTwo]

Added you as a favourite on my profile and left another review. You definatly know how to make the most of the Turtles overlooked sensetive sides.

[Bossa Nova]

Wow, thank you very much! That and your review mean a lot to me and the work I put into this project As much as I enjoy writing the more action-packed aspects of the Turtles, I probably spend far too much time analyzing their family relationships and inner thought processes and am glad my own interpretations of them are so positively received.

Edit: Wow. This is extremely embarrassing. I hadn't noticed until now that I somehow managed to upload an earlier draft that was absolutely riddled with typos and misplaced words. No idea how that happened Just went through and revised everything, hoping it will update very soon.

I noticed there were some errors, but figured you'd get around to correcting them. I do that with my own fics all the time.

[Bossa Nova]

I'm glad they weren't too distracting. I've replaced the entire chapter with the fixed version, so I really hope it works and FF.net won't screw me up and leave the wrong version up. I'll definitely have to be a lot more careful when posting chapter 3, I don't know why the edits won't save when I go in and fix them by hand.

[Bossa Nova]

It took some time, but Chapter 3 of Donatello's Spot has at last been posted: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8476849/3/Donatello-s-Spot

As Raph and Don are my two favorite turtles, a TON of work went into this chapter (and I seriously hope I didn't screw up like I did with Mikey's chapter and posted the wrong draft, I double checked about three times), and I really hope you all like it as well. Very excited as this story is almost complete now, only one chapter left to be edited and then I can turn my full attention to my other TMNT fic, Reasonable Doubt.

Would love any reviews or thoughts

[BubblyShell22]

Sorry I haven't reviewed these yet. I'll get around to them though. I'm looking forward to what you have in store for our Turtles.

[Bossa Nova]

No problem! I'm just stoked to share this chapter as it finally features Raph with Donnie and I put probably twice as much work into it than the others. Also hope to post up some new artwork soon as well. I have quite a bit of new stuff and my style has been evolving now that I have a better clue as to how to draw mutant turtles, the process of scanning them and whatnot is just such a pain in the tookis I haven't gotten around to it yet.
