Remember those alternate fics I said I'd write over the break? Well I started! I just finished the first chapter of the Dreamtale inspired one. Gonna start of the Horrortale Surface one now. And because I decided I wasn't up for the task of a reverse harem fic, sorry to all those who were interested, I've come up with a few replacements I'd like your thoughts on.
Which should be the third fic to have a chapter written?
1.) Lamia/Naga + Zookeeper
2.) Edgy invasion
3.) Slumberfell
4.) Artifacttale

A Naga/Lamia inspired fic. I was recently inspired by Cold Blood, Warm Heart by Kassykins on AO3. If you haven't read it I'd recommend even if it's not finished. But basically you're an employee at a zoo with Giant Lamias and Sirens. The focus was on the three lamias and the reader's growing relationship with them. Reader slowly learns they're more intelligent than the mere beast everyone says they are. The Zoo director is of course up to no good, yada yada. It ends at such a climatic point in the story , but it was written so well i feel it's still worth the read. Anyway I'd write my own story inspired by that one, with 2-3 lamias as well. Two of which would be horror and fell because they my boys, other possible one would be classic sans or maybe someone else if y'all have requests.
Second idea is another bitty fic, it'd be more found family then relationship focused. It'd be inspired by this other fic I read but unfortunately forgot them name of. I looked, I did but I couldn't find it. Anyway it was about reader's house being invaded by a group of three edgies (yes i have a problem i know) and each one was a different stereotypical representation of fell. One was the overly nervous one that got pushed around, another was the unrelenting asshole who fights first ask questions later, and the last one was the gruff but caring older brother. I thought it was a really fun idea and would be interested to do my own spin on it.
The last two are my own AUs I've been thinking of so not sure how many would be interested but I thought I'd put the options out there.
3. Slumberfell AU story. Slumberfell is a fell AU (kinda loosy at this point) inspired by Slumbertale (A fucking amazing comic right here on Tumblr by rainingskeletons). The story would revolve around Sans and his younger brother Papyrus (he's a child here) and their struggles surviving in the realm of Dreams that entraps monster kind. With the lack of Hope and rise in violence in the Realm of Dreams, more and more of the Dreams that make up the monster's prisons are turning into nightmares. But what's worse than the nightmares that surround the monsters is the Night Terrors, the warped minds and bodies of the fallen monsters. For you see falling down does not mean an endless slumber for the monsters, but and endless restlessness. With Sans meager 1hp, he is one such monster at risk of changing into one of these Night Terrors. However a desperate escape for the two's life may have brought them to their salvation, as they quite literally fall into the only dream that has been seen in ages, Frisk's dream. (Frisk is a child and there will be no Frans ship) Can Frisk's hope help Sans? Can Sans help them stay Determined despite the bleak reality Frisk has to wake to? Can Papyrus keep the peace between the two? Can the Three of them finally help monster kind as a whole? And why is Papyrus a child?
4. An Error alternate named Artifact. Once Sans, then Geno, now...someone else, the Skeleton lays waiting on the floor of the anti void for something, anything to happen. They'd KILL for a noise, a smell, a sensation of anything besides the nothing. And after what had to be an eternity that wish is finally granted. A colorful Skeleton by the name of Ink appears, offering to take them elsewhere. Butn being shown the multiverse ends up being a bit too much for Artifact's fractured mind, and instead of getting the idea they need to destroy everything like Error did, Artifact gets it in their head that they need to fix/improve everything. Getting into an altercation with Ink they end up stealing Ink's bandolier of paint and fleeing. Once alone they learn what they can about the paints of creativity, experimenting and using them to craft their new outfit and tools. But when it runs out they are left with a dilemma. having no creativity of their own and not knowing where the source of Ink's powers resides, they do the only other thing they can think of. Stringing together code in their best recreation of the paints, they make artificial creativity. But it's wrong and twisted, a poor emulation of the real thing, but it works. And that's all Artifacts needs to start their journey to 'fix' the multiverse. (Admittedly I'm unsure of how I'd end the story, probably something open-ended, but since Artifact is an allegory for AI Art/Artist they aren't a good person (you can fight me on this if you want AI art is bad for real artists like myself who thrive off the need for creativity in society) but at the same time while they aren't a good person, AI art isn't going away any time soon so neither is Artifact. I don't know if I want to give them a redemption arch and how that'd turn out if it did. Perhaps finding the true source of creation and finding real inspiration to create and also appreciate the beauty that is held in the differences of the varying worlds.
Anyways, those are my other fic ideas. give me your thoughts on which one you think I should write a chapter for.
