Tis' where you can post your own stories/fanfiction, put links if you post your story in another website, and giving ideas.
Also, you can post links to stories/fanfics you think is good/ are so bad, it's good (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoBadItsGood)/just plain terrible (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible).
Well then, have at it! ;D

I have two main writing projects I'm working on now:
The Darkest Show On Earth- A Story of a contortionist who discovers the circus she's working for has a few rather disturbing secrets.
Building Steam- A group of misfits testing out a rebuilt airship wind up discovering a new world.
-
I'm working on a roleplay actually, though it can be counted as fanfiction. My character is this tough bitch who is rather curious about things. One of those things is a blackhole that she's being sucked into and will come out the other side in an alternate universe. In that universe she is a murderous psychopath. That version of her is thrown into her original universe. Chaos ensues.

Would it not be more practicable to have each contribution as a separate thread rather than bundle everything under one title? That would make each contribution more visible.

Untitled sci/fi trilogy
Book one; In the 21st century exploration of space stopped cold as the American government became the rulers of the world. Over the next thousand years or so, a global state of conformity took hold.
One language, one culture, one religion, etc. The Republic of Earth.
The ruling class lives increasingly pampered lives in fortified towers, while the vast majority of humanity starves and suffocates in a nightmare world below them.
In the 32nd century the famine finaly starts to affect the rulers... who finaly admit that the only way to survive is to expand into space.
Book two; In the 34th century The Republic of Earth has colonized a few dozen worlds, and confidently waves the lack of aliens as proof that their god made the universe just for humans.
Shortly after this, a civilization is discovered on a newly surveyed world. Primative humanoid creatures who build citys, and who are just begining to use crude metals. The ensuing genocide is hailed as a heroic struggle to save humanity from "devils".
Shortly after this another civilization is discovered, and they are space explorers. Again the republic embarks on genocide, but this time it backfires. The new "devils" are not so easily out-classed. A seemingly hopeless war drags on for decades, and consumes the resources of many worlds. Finaly some of the more peripheral worlds decide to leave the republic and seek peace. The republic cannot spare the ships or troops to assert dominance over the breakaway worlds, but promises dire punishment as soon as the "devils" are exterminated.
Book three; In the 36th century. Deep in the periphery. The world of Pax is governed by a council of elected officials who appoint a chancellor to oversee everything. The newest chancellor is a former deputy minister of trade, Alice Fimborgue.
The republic is remembered as a failure that could only sustain itself through oppression and war. The so-called "devils" that the republic hated, have a permanent embassy on Pax. Over a dozen worlds make up the Periphery, and they opperate as a loose confederacy that squabbles incessantly, and has occassional small wars between member worlds... but maintains a workable status-quo.
This is as far as I've got.

Would it not be more practicable to have each contribution as a separate thread rather than bundle everything under one title? That would make each contribution more visible.
It would be preferable if one wants to start writing their stories and contributing it here in these forums, that is, actually writing a story with chapters and everything. Otherwise as the OP said, if the person writes on a separate website they can link it here. Synopsis, summaries and updates as well as ideas can be posted. The reason is if many people do write their stories it can become chaotic.
Sorry if this doesn't make any sense as I have been up since 4am and I'm trying to take a nap. I'll try to clarify later.

I'm going to give a nod to The Spoon Of Doom. The Spoon Of Doom (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2504127/the_spoon_of_doom) (Author has written 14 stories for Transformers/Beast Wars, Transformers, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Avatar: Last Airbender.)
She's a wonderfully cheesy author who knows not to take herself too seriously and can not for the love of her understand how she became so popular (she was shocked to find out she'd been mentioned on tvtropes). She's also the only author I've read in several years who managed to pull off a "let's make an alien species human" plot device. Of Flesh And Metal is actually well researched and well done. And when you start going "wait, that's out of character" you normally remember you've just read through 20 chapters of character growth and what they were like when it started is not who they are now.
But heads up, buttercup. This author is an unrepentant slash writer, some of her stories have elements of dub-con/non-con, Mech-preg (Which amuses me that people will bitch if you don't warn them about this. Depending on which version of the brand you're watching/reading they don't even have genders outside of social ones anyway.) features in one and gets a passing mention in two others of her Transformers works, and just about all of her Transformers works contain Sticky. If you're not part of the fandom and don't already know what that is; just smile, nod your head, pass the stories up, and resist all urges to look up the term.
As a heads up, we should probably post warnings for known squicks like slash, m-preg, etc. Or in-fandom squicks like Sticky.

I forgot I'm trying to work on an alternate history WW2-esque novel. It's hard to explain and I am missing explanation of the politics in the book to explain how World War Two continued on and why Hitler's idiotic military 'strategies' didn't end the war in 1945.
There's another one that is sci-fi that is all over the place in terms of plot. Some space Marines go off to a far-off planet for treaty forming purposes only to find themselves enslaved then forced to help take over their home planet.
Both ideas are lame once I've written them out...

Easy solution.
Hitler was shot down while flying from Paris to Berlin in june of 1940.
This alowed Goering to become chancelor, with Richenhoffen and Galland as joint reichsminister luftwaft.
Goering was first and formost a hedonist, thus he was reasonable. He was also related to nobility,which made him human in the eyes of Churchill.
Chancellor Goering offers Algeria to England, and renames it "Georgeland". He renames Algeirs "Churchillville". and offers Lord Churchill a gift of several German made battleships.
Churchill signs the armistice, and sits down with Goering to discuss the eventual partition of Russia.
Delay Barbarosa untill april '42, and make it a two pronged invasion. with the whole commonwealth invading Russia through Afganistan.

That's not as easy as it sounds, considering what I've got in my notes. This is like 1954 that it happens. There's so much filler to detail. But I was like 14 when I wrote it and I was really obsessed with WW2 stuff and I thought i'd try my hand at alt-history.
I may just abandon it. My main character is stupid anyhow.

Damm.. Dont abandon it.
I actualy wanna see this novel.

I'm (in the early stages of) writing a GLaDOS/Hermione Granger slashfic. I don't have much written at the moment, I just started. I'm also re-playing both Portals and re-reading some HP books to get a better perspective. This should be fun.
-
I want to write a conspiracy book. Like, a novel that combines all these conspiracy theories into one, but it's not what you think they are. For example, the people trying to put the Antichrist into power are not Satanists, but extremely zealous Christians who want to bring about the Second Coming faster.

:) Well, that certainly gives me hope that at least one person besides me would want to read it. I really have to get to work on removing the stupid sentences in the book and everything before I even starting editing in filler.

Hey, I have a relevant question. Has reading a fanfic ever caused you to be so intruigued with a series you've never seen that you go and check it out? I mean, you may wonder what you'd be doing reading a fanfic from a series you don't know about/care for, but there's always crossovers. :P

Criminal Minds. Oh so very much. A friend wanted me to watch it, I refused. She kept sending me fan-fics because she knows I'll read anything once as long as it's well written. Enough of that and I caved and bought the first five season at a used place downtown so I'd understand what the hell was going on.

Hybrid Theory (http://www.bladeandepsilon.com/hybridtheory.htm), which is a massive crossover fanfic and also one of my favourite fics ever. I didn't gain any new fandoms from it, but I did check out a few things.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality got me re-interested in Harry Potter.

The infamous My Immortal: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4719325/1/My_Immortal_REPOST (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4719325/1/My_Immortal_REPOST)
I myself didn't know of this fic until today, while searching for some old HP fics that I like. To be honest, I'm torn between laughing really hard and muttering all kinds of crass words at my laptop. This fic is...indescribable. Seriously. Just take a look for yourself.
WARNING: Fic is NSFW and may cause you to lose all understanding of the English language. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Can't say I have but on a similar vein I didn't know half of the pairings people had made for characters in Fallout until I wandered thru the kink meme community. And some of them I actually liked and started to track down every fic with the pairing.
-
While I did know about it, I never played any Mass Effect (I would like to, but I don't have the time to invest in it), so I instead gained respectable knowledge about it through fanfics.
I have about a dozen plot bunnies in my head, but the story I am actually working advances slowly enough (see this thread (http://"http://forums.fstdt.net/flame-and-burn/fuck-my-life") for the reason why), so I don't divert more time writing them down. I once actually put up one of them up for adoption on Spacebattles. ([1] (http://"http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?t=205200"))

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality got me re-interested in Harry Potter.
HPMOR got me interested in half a dozen new things... none of them fiction, though.

I picked up Psychonauts and played the HELL out of it because of fic. Same with Bastion, come to think of it.

Hmm. I kind of want to read some Psychonauts fanfiction now.

Here (http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Randomwolf42/830761/) is a little exercise in absurdity I wrote a while back, if anyone's interested in reading it. You might hate me by the time you get to the end though.

Sorry for the thread necromancy but I'd thought I'd show off some of my Dragon Age fanfiction:
http://www.fanfiction.net/~morninglight
Completed stories:
'The Dutiful Daughter': Slightly AU-ish playthrough fic of a female Cousland called Mara, who does the expected things Alistair fangirls write in their stories... With a twist: she's a high-functioning autistic.
'For the Good of the Circle': part of the Maraverse but from the viewpoint of an f!Amell/Cullen romance where the Amell never became a Warden...
'The Guard and the Girl': AU of the Maraverse with the same autistic protagonist and Alistair romance, but they never become Wardens and Alistair left the Chantry of his own volition...
Ongoing stories:
'The Coming Storm': Maraverse, on the backburner due to other projects.
'The Black Griffin': part of the 'Guard and Girl'/'Game of Princes' universe, detailing the life of an OC called Rennio d'Antiva: think Machiavelli and Ezio Auditore having their genes mixed to produce a gay badass assassin and political mastermind who just also happens to be a Grey Warden. Infrequently updated.
'The Game of Princes': Game of Thrones-inspired sequel to 'The Guard and the Girl' with a metric crapton of mythological and religious influences in addition to truly vicious politics. Somewhat on the backburner but updated every few weeks.
'Alphabet of the Warden-Queen': infrequently updated alphabet challenge dedicated to Warden-Queen Mara Cousland from 'The Dutiful Daughter'; will contain outtakes to bridging flash-fics between the events of Dragon Age: Awakening and an AU version of Dragon Age 2 which happens in Ferelden.
'A Diamond in Dust Town': f!Brosca (common dwarf origin) and Duncan romance. Totally AU; so AU I took a chainsaw to canon, according to my friends. Contains reasonably described human-dwarf sex and frequent coarse language.
I hope you like my stuff!

Ah hell, here's my Mass Effect fanfic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8082555/1/Picking_Up_the_Pieces).
And an alternate link (http://archiveofourown.org/works/389707/chapters/639144).

I has Dance Dance Revolution fanfic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3855090/1/The_end_of_dance_dance_apartheid). I wrote it when I was 16 purely as a joke, so naturally it's short but very poorly written. Read at your own risk.

I've been writing a piece of Inuyasha/original fiction for... years. I say Inuyasha/original because it centers around a character who is only mentioned in the series, but never makes an appearance, so it's more of a prequel with a 90% original cast.
Basically, the idea was that, practically everything that happens in the Inuyasha timeline proper is the result of either some artifact left behind by or a previous acquaintance of his father. Yet his father is dead the whole time and plays no active role in the story, but seems to have nevertheless been crazy-prepared and drove most of the main plot from beyond the grave. So naturally I had the curiosity to explore WTF was up with this guy.
Canon gives me scant few details to work with. No mention of personality. No mention of lifestyle. Hell, he doesn't even have a name. So I had to cobble together all the various bits we do know about him and basically construct a character from scratch out of them. I wanted to stick to canon as much as possible, though, so instead of just making up a name for him, I wrote the entire thing in first-person to get around having to call him anything in the narration, and simply have other characters only address him as a title.
Unfortunately, the thing has basically turned into "The Life Story and Psychological Breakdown of Inuyasha's Dad" (aka "Memoirs of a Daiyoukai (http://www.inu-papa.com/memoirs/memoirs.html)"), and at currently 94 chapters, he's still only 14 years old. And he lived for hundreds of years. This... is gonna take a while. Each chapter also comes with an illustration, and at least my art has slowly improved over the years, too (though some still looks a bit derpy).
