Imagine this as the post-credits scene of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie:
Galactus is staring at Earth, pondering his next move. Somehow, the F4 were able to stop him from consuming the planet. While he’s deep in thought, all of a sudden we hear, “DADDY, I’M HOME!”
(this art was made by my amazing sister! sisters oc is the horned one, mine is the fanged one, she has given me permission to post this)
Cailean Atharrais's first arrival to the isle of sages, at the start of his adventure to attend Royal Sword Academy! encountering his older cousin Yuugo Ross, in the town in between the two schools on the island, who goes to RSA - wanting to follow in his cousins footsteps and become a skilled mage at the prestigious princely school!
The typical introverted cat and extroverted puppy dynamic :)
Shenanigans ensue from there.
Thoughts for my SWR/Disney Au: The First Steps aka the Raya and the Last Dragon Au
Possible Spoilers for Raya and the Last Dragon below!!!
So, I’ve been trying to decide on a good character to make Namaari.
She wasn’t so much a villain as she was an antagonist.
Here are two characters I had in mind for Namarri
Zare Leonis
Prince of the Fang Kingdom, and Step-Son to the Grand Chief Inquisitor.
Zare always wanted to do what was best for his people, even dealing with his stepfathers verbal abuse and his discuss for war
During the rally of the kingdoms, which was suppose to be a topic of peace, the Grand Inquisitor convinced Zare to trick young prince Ezra into telling him where the Jedi Holocron was. To which the boy listened, unfortunately, that night of betrayal only brought back the horrid Druuns.
Since then, Zare had done everything he could to help his kingdom, even falling more and more under the dark influence of his Step-Fathers wicked plans.
His mission? Find the missing Jedi Holocron before Ezra does.
Sabine Wren
Princess of Mandalore, Daughter of Leader Ursa Wren
I thought it would be fun if one of the Ghost Crew wasn’t so much on the crew at first.
Sabine fought to ensure the saftey and her homeland, and people; as both Warrior and Princess.
After the Jedi Holocron went missing and resulted in the return of the Druuns, Sabine did everything she could to keep her people safe. Even searching for the rumored last Jedi, whom not everyone believed to still be alive.
On her quest, Sabine stumbled across an old friend, Ezra Bridger, the Prince of Lothal whom she had betrayed many years ago.
Now it’s a race against time to see who will find the Last Jedi
Everyone's favorite feline felon and a wannabe bard.
Carmine goes from town to town not only to steal, but to perform anywhere he can. While not a typical bard he uses his feline agility to help him out on the stage just as much as if he was stealing from a crooked noble he happens to stumble upon his travels. Much like other more heroic characters of old, he uses his skills to help those in need, giving a portion of what he takes back to the people that were wrong Was he always like this? No one knows for certain, but he'll just keep on wandering along. ________________________________________________________________

I have seen a lot of these posts that bring up the visual art that visual artists have done in the past year. Intrigued, I felt like it would be as good a time as any to do something similar, but then for the fanfiction that I have uploaded throughout the year. In part because I feel like a lot has happened in 2017 and to remind myself of everything that I have done in 2017, here are all the chapters that I have uploaded in the past year (of course with links to every one of them for your convenience).
List under the cut.
January
22 - Frozen Tears 02 - the second part of my Strawberry Ice Cream (RWBY) twoshot that had been postponed time and time again. I personally don’t think it did all that well, but I guess some people would disagree with me there. It is also relatively recently that people have started to find it again and put it on their favorite and/or follow list, which I highly appreciate!
February
4 - Field of Tomorrow 08 - the eighth chapter of my White Rose (RWBY) fanfiction. It felt like so long ago that I uploaded this, and while I know that it has been almost ten months ago, it felt much longer... I do intend to go back to this story one day, but until then...
March
Saten Ruiko Day Countdown Stream - Oh how I remember doing this... it was a lot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it, it being the first time where I dedicatedly wrote oneshots and when I first really tried to branch out to other franchises. While I don’t intend to keep going with the majority of those franchises, it was a good learning experience for sure!
01 - The First Steps - Nakano Azusa (K-On!)
02 - The Next Step - Nicomaki (Love Live!)
03 - A Step in the Right Direction - Blake Belladonna (RWBY)
04 - A Step Back in the Shadows - Ichijouji Ken (Digimon)
05 - Stepping into the Past - Fei Rune (Inazuma Eleven)
06 - A Step at a Time - Shirai Kuroko (Toaru Kagaku no Railgun)
07 - Taking the Step Towards the Future - Specialjewel (Pokémon Special)
08 - The Steps We Take - Misaka 10032 (Toaru Majutsu no Index)
09 - The Final Step - Asada Shino (Sword Art Online)
10 - The Leading Step - Saten Ruiko (Toaru Kagaku no Railgun)
20 - Field of Tomorrow 09 - the ninth chapter and, at time of writing, the most recently updated chapter of this story. I enjoyed this chapter, and I think that people enjoyed it as well, but... Field of Tomorrow has not been updated since. When will it be updated again, I wonder?
April
02 - A Step Back - my first story for this franchise, focusing on Yamabuki Saaya (BanG Dream!). It was also the first English-written story for this franchise to be uploaded over on fanfiction.net, so it has that distinction going on as well. The writing is as well as you would have expected, but since this was the first time that I help start a fandom’s list of fanfiction... I thought it went pretty well. Especially considering how difficult Saaya is to depict to begin with...
10 - The Times We Lost 01 - Probably the story that I will be remembered for in this fandom, it was my first multi-chapter story of this fandom. Focusing on the at-time-of-writing only ship with an actual ship name: BlueFlora! Even this chapter feels a bit rough, but it sure beat out the first chapters of my other multi-chapter stories; so that makes me happy with it.
15 - The Times We Lost 02 - What can I say? I was quick to follow up on the previous chapter with an update in the very same week (the 10th was a Monday and the 15th was a Saturday). I think around this time was also when I started to get the backlash for “leaving” some of my older fandoms, but eh... who cares?
22 - The Times We Lost 03 - At this point in time, I think I already somewhat established a weekly update schedule for every Saturday? I think so, at least... it worked out and I have managed to keep up with it ever since almost perfectly if I do say so myself.
May
06 - The Times We Lost 04 - I said what I said for the 3rd chapter, but then I ended up missing a week completely... whoops? In my defense, real life started to pick so I was forced to take a little break that lasted... a while...
August
08 - The Times We Lost 05 - I already said I had to take a break for “a while”, didn’t I? This chapter was one of my personal favorites, however, and I did manage to get double updates for the day to make up for the period of inactivity.
08 - Bonds of Five - An Afterglow-centric oneshot that I wrote to celebrate my birthday. I was originally going to dedicate a oneshot for Tsurumaki Kokoro (because her birthday is on that same day as well), but I wasn’t confident enough with my depiction of her... so I ended up falling back on what I knew best: Afterglow.
September
03 - Wish of the Blue Flower - A oneshot dedicated to the birthday of my second favorite character of the franchise: Aoba Moca. The theme of this oneshot was given to me in passing by @reiriniverse (thank you again for that :))
16 - The Times We Lost 06 - A month-long gap between 05 and 06 because of health problems on my end, I did manage to keep up a weekly schedule after this, however.
23 - The Times We Lost 07 - As said, I was fortunate enough to be able to upload the seventh chapter only a week after the sixth. I don’t think a lot has to be said about this chapter as everybody who has read it would already understand...
30 - The Times We Lost 08 - Somehow, I managed to wrap up this story in only five and a half months, which really made me happy. Before the end of September had rolled around, my first multi-chapter story of BanG Dream (but definitely not my last!) had been completed.
October
07 - The Times We Lost Collection 01 - This was right after the end of The Times We Lost; I already noticed just how many headcanons I was using in my worldbuilding for The Times We Lost, so I decided to write an actual series to try and clear up any potential confusion. The first chapter went live only a week after the conclusion of The Times We Lost.
14 - The Times We Lost Collection 02 - I remember this chapter causing some confusion as it was not directly related to 01 (despite having said that TTWLC is a collection of oneshots not in chronological order). I still like how this chapter went, and I think it is safe to say that others felt the same way.
21 - The Times We Lost Collection 03 - And here we have what was an anticipated chapter, I think, as it picked up right where 01 had left off two weeks earlier. I am not 100% happy with how it turned out, but it went well enough so I decided to upload it.
23 - Himari’s Request - A oneshot dedicated to the birthday of Uehara Himari. It was based on something that she had said in passing in one of the more recent events at the time, and I decided that I could use that and work it into a oneshot. And then this oneshot got published...
November
04 - The Times We Lost Collection 04 - At this point, I was only going to upload two chapters this month for this story because of something else that was happening: NaNoWriMo 2017; you can see a bit further down below on how that went. This chapter in and of itself, I have to admit, was a ton of fun to write.
19 - The Times We Lost Collection 05 - Somehow, this chapter managed to be even more fun to write than the previous one. I can’t really say why, but it ended up a lot of fun. It is still a bit rough around the edges, but I enjoyed it too much to not post it at the time.
25 - A Day Out - Something like this was something that I had actually wanted to do for a very long time, but I never really had the reason or excuse to do so. When I saw someone post in one of my Discords about wanting to see a fanfiction where Uehara Himari and Maruyama Aya interacted, I knew I had the perfect excuse to write this... and so this oneshot was born several days later.
December
01 - A Poppin’ Snow Time - Nothing too fancy about this oneshot, really. Just a oneshot revolving around BanG Dream’s Poppin’ Party having fun with the snow. It was also to tie in with the Christmas event that was going on in the mobile rhythm game around the same time as well.
02 - The Times We Lost Collection 06 - The contents of chapters like these are what actually drove me to write this oneshot collection series in the first place. I also feel like people enjoyed seeing these chapters in particular, which also made me happy.
05 - The Nighttime Terror of Academy City 01 - People were wondering what I was doing in November, well this story is exactly what I was doing! On this day, I started to upload this story on a bi-weekly schedule (every other Tuesday), and this first chapter alone... did surprisingly well and was welcomed surprisingly well by the people who ended up reading it... which, for it being my first serious Toaru Kagaku no Railgun multi-chapter fanfiction, was really reassuring.
09 - The Times We Lost Collection 07 - A chapter that I found really fun to write personally, but I wasn’t sure how it would be accepted by those who read it. As far as I could tell, people quite enjoyed it.
16 - The Times We Lost Collection 08 - This was a cute chapter, but it ended up so very different from the original design of it. It didn’t end up badly, but it is still funny to see how different a chapter when compared to how we thought that it would be...
19 - The Nighttime Terror of Academy City 02 - The second chapter of this fanfiction. I honestly can’t say anything more as it was all already written back in November (where I spent hours on it every single day).
30 - The Times We Lost Collection 09 - At first, I wasn’t even planning to upload this in 2017, but I still wanted to do something with it. In the end, I ended up publishing it anyway. In hindsight, I think it was a good idea to upload a somewhat lighthearted chapter, as the very next day...
31 - The Final Glow of Afterglow - A lot of people would think of the end of the year as something beautiful and symbolic, but at the same time... as a result, people tend to forget or, at the very least, push away the bad and negative memories of the year. I wanted to bring light to that one last time before the clock struck midnight with this Angst/Tragedy oneshot revolving around Afterglow. Who knew that it would become my longest oneshot ever, standing at a very comfortable 11290 words?
And that is all the fanfiction that I uploaded in 2017. As you can see, it was rather slow at the start and in the middle of the year, but I am pretty comfortable with how much I have uploaded in the months aside from that.
Now to see if I can improve on this in 2018, right?
