FanFic Friday! David Earns His Nickname

davidcute

My Once Upon A Time Fanfic, Twice Upon A Dream is a sequel to one of my most popular fics, These Dreams. Both fics feature the same premise: Our heroes are sent into the dreamscape, falling in and out of each other’s dreams and the dreams of everyone in Storybrooke. It makes for one hell of a ride and we get to see our beloved characters in all sorts of situations and incarnations.

In this chapter, David, Snow and Henry are at the New York Public Library, and it’s imperative that they get their hands on a certain book. The stodgy librarian is no match for David’s secret weapon, however… Continue reading

Should You Write FanFiction?

ff_logos

Oh, Fanfiction….

Derided by many, written by far too many, read by even more.

Here’s the truth about fanfic. There’s a lot of bad fanfic out there. A lot. And the fanfic that is bad is really, really bad.

But its not all bad. There are great fics out there. There are also mediocre fics that become published works, sure (I’m looking at you, Fifty Shades…) but there really is some great reading, if you find the hidden gem among the crap. There are fabulous authors writing amazing fics just for the love of writing about characters they love.

FanFic Friday: Emma Builds A Wall, Killian Chips It Away

hookrum

This particular Once Upon A Time Fanfic chapter is from a series of one-offs I titled “You Had Me at Malfeasance.” Some of these are fun scenes I’d like to see, and some, like this one, are “missing scenes” in and around the existing story.

This chapter is set right after Emma battles her erstwhile fiance-monkey, Walsh, and realizes she hasn’t ever really been free of Storybrooke, the memories she made there….or the people she made them with.

In my Once Upon A Time fanfic, Pandora’s Pain, the mythical woman comes to Storybrooke to retrieve her magical box, and her curse comes with her. Everyone in town is sent back to a terrible time in their lives, a time of misery and pain.

In this scene, Emma, Hook and their friends are set upon by Zelena’s infamous flying monkeys… Continue reading

#FanFic Friday: Time To Buckle Some Swash

twice

In my Once Upon A Time FanFic, Twice Upon A Dream, Killian, Emma, Snow, David, Henry, Regina and Robin are pulled into the dreamscape via a curse. They have seven days, seven hours and seven minutes to get themselves back to reality, all while running through their own dreams, and the dreams of others in Storybrooke.

In this dream, Emma has just spent an eventful night with “Deckhand Killian” (we all remember him from the Season 4 finale), and now Killian has remembered who he is just in time for Blackbeard to return…. Continue reading

In my Once Upon A Time fanfic, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, an alternate timeline is created when the Jones family flaunts a generational curse leveled by Triton, and he meddles with time, creating a whole new reality for Emma and Killian. Their daughter, Meriel and her magical companion, Kai have to travel back to this altered past,  then get her parents to meet and fall in love in order to restore the timeline.

In this scene, young Meriel is good and mad at Daddy, after he runs out on Emma to seek his own fortunes. She decides to take matters in her own hands and get him back on track. Continue reading

Fanfiction Friday: Killian And Emma Share A Dance

 

My Once Upon A Time Fanfic, The Memory Keeper was written during the Mid-Season 3 hiatus, and begins after Killian surprises Emma at her apartment and she slams the door in his face, having no memory of who he is.

I take the story from there, and weave in my own take on the wicked witch. But first…Killian has to win Emma over, and he does it with every weapon in his arsenal. Here they are at a charity ball run by Emma’s foundation, the aptly named “Happily Ever Afters” – an organization that promotes adoption of older children in the foster system.

FanFic Friday:

In my latest fanfic, “Twice Upon A Dream,” we see Killian, Emma, Regina, Robin, Snow, David and Henry all thrown into the dreamscape (this is a sequel to my earlier fic, “These Dreams” where we see a Captain Swan adventure in dreamland), and trying desperately to get themselves out.

They each need to find something (or things) associated with the number seven in order to counteract the curse that put them there, all while navigating through their own dreams, each other’s dreams, and the dreams of everyone in Storybrooke. It makes for one wild and exciting ride where anything can happen.

In this scene, Killian finds himself in his own past, and we get a cameo at the end from a character that lit up the screen…

#OnceUponATime FanFic Friday: Killian And Emma’s Nightclub Adventure #Oncers #CaptainSwan

dreams

These Dreams is one of my most popular fanfics, and definitely one of my favorites as well. Sending Killian and Emma into the dreamscape, falling in and out of their own dreams and all the dreams of the people in Storybrooke – it was such an adventure to write. The story really took over and became so much more than I’d envisioned at it’s start – especially since the readers were PM’ing me ideas!

This particular scene is part of a larger chapter of disjointed, crazy dream stuff (including a bit with the two of them riding talking dolphins). Any weird thing can happen in the dreamscape – that’s what makes it so magical! Emma and Killian find themselves in a bar, and the rest is just plain fun: Continue reading
