Welcome to Kingβs Reversed Fic Request game, in which you show me the finished product, and I create the story. What is this? Essentially I have found myself in a rut in which I am unable to finish one-shot fanfictions due to a compulsive nature requiring me to write no less than 10k for anything I publish. As Iβve finished several longfics or long series, some as long as 300k-550k, I do not need more practice writing longform fiction!!!
But thereβs more to being a skilled writer than longform. The art of the short story is something most writers discount, and I wish to become much, much better at itβ¦ And thatβs where you come in.
You, reader, friend, anon that haunts my dreams, will be able to submit any fic concept that you want to read, presented with the information you might see while browsing Ao3. Ships, Tags, Synopsis. You show me the fic you want to click on - I make it clickable.
Yes, this means youβll be writing a synopsis without context. A hook meant to catch a peruserβs attention without spoiling the plot, or a dangling question waiting to be addressedβ¦ whatever you would see in the description of a fic on Ao3, you includeβ¦ This means you can decide the tone, the genre, the characters, the subjectβ¦ but you cannot decide any twists, turns or endings.
I am aiming to write fics within the 500 - 6k word category. This is, in case you didnβt know it, below my average chapter length in most cases. Henceβ¦ hence why I need the practice. Adjust your synopsis accordingly, for a short one-shot format.
If youβre interested in throwing me a challenge, continue to read for more specificsβ¦ sorry I yap so much!
All Fics will eventually be posted in an anthology collection! I will probably backlog a couple fics to post all at once, and then from there post as I write them.
**Please Note:** If I receive more thanβ¦ 2 of these, I wonβt be able to guarantee them all or do them in order. HOWEVER, I kinda want to set a goal for myself to complete one every week or two, so submit, and donβt come at me if I write it months later.
**Submissions should be received in the Ask box so that I may respond to them with the link to the fic, making it clickable! Please submit as many as you like!** - Anon or Non-Anon asks allowed, however if you are going to do it on Anon, please consider giving yourself a codename or signing off with an emoji unique to you or something, I will be unlikely to prioritize anon asks if I think thereβs a chance Iβm accidentally doing the same person back to back to back. (This also means, if you donβt have an identifier and only submit one, youβre likely to be passed over out of fear youβre the same person as the othersβ¦) - I am going to try and intentionally stagger ships, people I write for, etc. to not repeat myself back to back.
All submissions can be long, or short - be wordy, be precise, your call. Please note some things:
Titles are completely optional, but for me theyβre often contributing factors into why I click a fic, so I wanted to give you the option of putting something you like in there.
Ships/Tags: You can include as many as you want, but donβt be a little shit and tag contradictory things or stuff you know wonβt make sense for a <6k one shot. (Slowburn is out, unfortunately!)
Rating: M, T, G - this one is also optional, but I know it does influence whether a lot of people open a fic, so go ahead and specify!
Synopsis: must be written like youβre writing the description of a fic youβre about to click publish on. Non-optional formatting. You may not include any other details about the plot beyond the synopsis and what youβve tagged.
Submission Format
Title: (Optional)
Rating: (Optional, M, T, G)
Ships:
Tags:
Synopsis:
I am willing to consider pretty much any submission, part of the game of this is to stretch out of my comfort zone a bit. However, please do not toss me rarepair ships just for the sake of βseeing how it goes,β my enjoyment out of this will come from being able to provide a fic for someone that they actually wanted to read. If you truly love a hyperspecific, obscure rarepair - go ahead! But please submit ships that you genuinely wish to read about.
In fact, in general, please submit things that you genuinely wish to read about. I will enjoy myself more that way.
Whitelisted subjects are not required, and in fact barely mean anything. Itβs just a couple of points towards stuff that Iβve been wanting to write myself and maybe am more inclined towards. But I almost didnβt include it because it really wonβt factor in so much as to what I choose to write. As for the blacklist, itβs just stuff Iβm not comfortable with that I need to say just to cover my basis. And for the record, if any of the blacklisted ships come up within a polyculeβ¦ I probably donβt like that polycule either. Or will write it without ever addressing that corner of the βcule :β)
Whitelisted Ships/Tags
DaiSuga, UshiTen, IwaOi, AranKita
Canon compliance concepts
Happy Ending, Fluff, Comedy
Blacklisted Ships/Tags
Crossover concepts with other media. (Unless you know it is something I have watched to completion and could manage.)
Dark Fiction Themes - yandere concepts where ships hurt/maim/kill each other, or otherwise fetishistic violence against the characters. Ideally youβve read my work before and know I will do a lot of violence against a character, this is specifically blacklisting the torture-porn esq nature of some dark fiction themes.

Oh it wasn't a response to anything, sorry if it was worded that way. It was just a headcanon I had and I wanted to see your thoughts that's all
Haha no worries!!! I just wasn't sure if it had been the continuation of post I'd started and I had just blacked out while posting :P
Always down to receive headcanons and your thoughts but be warned I AM a contrarian and I am also dumb so I can and will misunderstand the tone of your ask.
If you're tired of doomscrolling AI slop, go to Daily Dose of Internet's youtube channel, sort videos by the oldest, start from the top and go. there's like 1500 compilation videos put together and posted before before AI even started, and it's all stuff that is just internet videos (to put it in perspective, his newer videos include a lot of tik toks - so its all the same type of video you'd be watching before)
((to be clear, he still doesnt use or endorse AI, but he is human so Ive noticed a couple clips slip into his recent comps which is why I recommend starting at his oldest videos. There are hundreds of hours of content to get through.)
You can waste just as much time watching short form video content but with the added bonus of:
- Guaranteed no AI (literally it didnt exist.)
- he adds context and sometimes researches into certain videos to confirm whats going on, about 1/4 videos are narrated with context
- No brainrot, although he does have some viral meme clips in his compilations, there's a lot of tech and science and other stuff too.
- the peace of mind of watching videos of cool, funny, insane, freaky and unlikely shit and having 100% confidence it is all real and did happen.
- he actually has playlists put together specifically of his old content so you can have it autoplay
Cons:
- you cant insta scroll at mach 10
- if youre old you mightve seen some of the videos before
- you wont be looped into every chronically online brainrot internet drama that happened that day
I think for HQ couples, it's actually the one who seems more 'romantic' or bubbly or whatever who wouldn't think about marriage first. They're perfectly happy how they are, and marriage hasn't even occurred to them. On the other hand, the half of the couple who seems more 'aloof' has been wondering how to broach the subject and how quickly they can get to an actual proposal
I'm gonna be contrary for the sake of it, and say it doesnt have so much to do with romantic/aloof personalities and rather more aligned with which characters are more likely to be concerned with the future.
Oikawa and Iwaizumi, for example - even if he'a more bubbly, I absolutely imagine Oikawa as being more preoccupied with marriage, because he's also very preoccupied with his image, how he measures up to other people - if Kageyama got married before him he'd probably have a coniption
However for, say, Suga and Daichi, it's absolutely Daichi that would be more preoccupied with the idea of marriage because he's more attuned to traditional lifestyle milestones and the pursuit of that classic family-forward lifestyle, though I'd definitely argue he's for sure the more internal one.
Ultimately it's important to look both at personality and context for characterization, since any broad/generalized sentiment will obviously have its deviations (which Im sure you were already aware of) and truthfully I could make a compelling argument for any half of any ship being the marriage-focused one, because multifaceted people are often surprising in unique contexts, and a couple of minor tweaks to a situation or a context can create entirely different results because of it.
However I would be terribly interested to know where you came under the assumption that I had ever indicated otherwise? This ask feels like a response to something I don't think I can remember saying. Was this maybe meant for someone else?
The haikyuu model of assigning characters animal auras - or the golden retriever boyfriend effect - is a 100% foolproof way to write original characters in character 100% of the time.
Simply pick an animal that fits the vibe of the character, and then at every scene, ask "what is the most [animal] way to respond to this situation" and proceed.

Will the FNAF animatronics appear? Altho I wonder how will daichi and the gang encounter them randomly
This would be a crazy addition to "the plane dropped" but honestly, legitimately, I can think of nothing more horrifying than being 200 miles from any civilization in the thick wilderness of foreign mountains and seeing 6 mechanical animatronics slowly emerge from the forest. Genuinely try and imagine a worse thing that could happen.
In all seriousness, no. But only because there's a strong distinction between "story" lore, and quasi folklore that I was using for the internet icon chapters. This is the same reason why I never incorporated MOST famous creepypastas, because my internal rule is that there had to be some cohesive "folklore" aspect to it, where Slenderman can be a kind of abstract entity / species / monster, something like, say, Jeff the Killer requires specific story beats to exist. For FNAF, unfortunately the lore behind it is too narrative to fit that same niche.
HOWEVER, I am not very curious about the prospect of, perhaps in another context or a different story all together, making Daichi fight FNAF style animatronics. I mean, he's basically already a security guard. I could totally FNAF him up, guys, it would be SO easy and require literally zero suspension of disbelief to say Daichi had to do overnight security at a child's arcade. Like... Actually the more I think about it, the more I think it's borderline inevitable. I should definitely attack Daichi with a fnaf monster. Hmm. We'll see what the chicken senate decides.
I'm lowkey crashing out over this stupid AI thing I'm so sick of every goddamn experience on this planet being β¨ optimize β¨ engage β¨ with AI you can now- β¨ let us do the hard stuff β¨ and I AM going to be bitter and cruel about it because I have always valued competency and intelligence and the idea that people are so willing to hand over the keys to every important skillset you could ever need??? I'm so tired of it. I know it's hard. Fucking learn. Be a human person who does things. Anyways I'm going to put Daichi in a robot apocalypse so I can have his systematically stab chatgpt in the face over and over and over again and I am going to have it have programmed itself to feel pain so it understands what stabbing in the face is.
After doing a shit ton of lineart and almost all the flat colours for an artfight attack that was panning out to be one of my best, I zoomed in on the reference to check some of the details and realized the character was at the very least AI-Augmented.
As I hope you understand I am now in the worst possible mood.
Personally, it's my theory that the first nail into the coffin of this generation's media literacy was when everyone suddenly thought they were geniuses for realizing that "actually, Sitcom Male Lead is a terrible friend."
Like I'm so sorry you don't understand how genre works π₯² would you like me to explain to you why a show with 5-6 jokes per minute for 22 minutes straight doesn't have good depictions of friendship?

Im struggling to put this feeling into words, but here you go:
Me: oh my god I forgot about that I should totally write, because if I can write it, then I can share it, and other people can enjoy it and that's a lot of fun!
Me:
Me: but if I put my effort into writing it, I'll post it before I get to post this OTHER idea I had, I dont want them to think that just because I posted that first idea that I'm not still working on ideas like the other ones. If I write and post idea 1, then I wont have written idea 2 and cant post it... (<- insane nonsense thought process I couldnt even accurately transcribe into words.)
Me:
Me: I guess I won't write anything then. That seems like the completely reasonable conclusion to draw.
Sometimes I open a new text post to share a silly haha haikyuu thought but I get 5 lines in and realize it would actually make a great 8k one shot so I don't post as intended but then I also don't write the fic so we have a net zero on the amount of people who got to enjoy the haha haikyuu thought.
If anyone's wondering where the ebook for my novel that I intended to have released in January is, its because I have to manually adjust every line of Word in the document and I'm still like 30% sure its not even going to work.
