Hello BigFourblrs/ROTBTDblrs! Bookishnerd, here!
Hello hello hello! I'm back at it again with a post. This time I want to officially re-introduce my Big Four OUAT AU Fic to the BigFourblrs out there.
I haven't updated the fic on AO3 since October, but I wanted to share here that I DO have something up my sleeve for it.
As of today's writing, my outline and vague plans have led me to believe that this fic will have 12 'episodes'. But if you know this fic and are up to speed on my recent big changes for it then you'll know that 12 is not exactly the final chapter number. Episode 1: A Strong Enough Belief has about 9 chapters out now, with one chapter left coming up next. Totaling to 10 chapters for that episode! I don't know if I'll be doing 10 parts per episode, but I'm already foreseeing that this is going to be a BIG FIC. WHAT IS The Big Four (Once Upon a Time AU), you ask? This fic was something I started back in my old Tumblr account, Bookishnerdhero. That old account was a mix of bookish things, fandoms, and writeblr, but I wanted to start fresh with this account dedicated to mostly fics, fanart, and fandom alone. Now, the BIG FOUR (OUAT AU) is an AU where the characters of the fandom, lovingly and chaotically named, Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons, come together in the style of the 2011 Fantasy Drama TV Series, Once Upon a Time.
The old version took too long for me to write, so I decided to cut each 'episode' into parts. There is an OLD VERSION of the fic, that I just keep for sentimental purposes, and a NEW VERSION that follows all the brand new ideas and changes I've wanted to implement on the fic. I feel like I've grown as a writer since my very long hiatus.
HERE is the Summary:
Jack St. North is just an ordinary Sophomore High student from Dreamer Haven's, Dreamworks Academy...sort of.
He's more of a loner really; orphaned, invisible, living in-between sardonic pranks and the usual teenage angst when you basically have nobody and nothing. Things change when a little boy knocks on his door with a big brown storybook in his hand, telling him that he was actually from another world where fairy tales are real and dreams come true and that he, Jack, was actually one of the legendary Big Four.
Naturally, he doesn't believe it. The boy, Jamie, tells him that he needs to reunite with the Big Four, Rapunzel, Merida, and Hiccup, in order to break the curse that Pitch Black placed upon their real world.
Only with the four united could they stand a chance in solving the curse's threat. And based on Jamie's story Jack is sure he means his nerdy world history classmate and two other girls he'd just met from Disney High.
You can find the fic in AO3 here!
