Duncan x Male OC Fanfic
23 contestants partake in a sadistic reality tv show aired internationally competing for $100,000 at a crappy summer camp. With a slightly unfair contract signed, Zane is the 23rd camper. An antisocial boy who doesn't exactly...
So like, my mental health is absolutely positively gone rn but the supportive comments here make my day. From those doing the beetlejuice musical lyrics, to people complimenting Espurr (I told him he has fans and he was happy), to people complimenting my art.
I haven't been writing much cause I've been doing artwork for the book, I've been reading fanfiction, and I've been just disassociating alot lately which is how I come up with half my ideas anymore.
But um, working on ideas for chapters daily, just I forget to write it. I got fun notepads from a small business, its helped me write stuff down more to help my memory since I have trouble remembering things.
I'm forever grateful for you guys though, it's been a strange journey in my writing "career". Started writing mini angry bird comics with another kid in first grade, moved on to making up short horror stories in late elementary around 4th and 5th grade during a rise in creepypasta stories. In 7th grade a friend introduced me to wattpad and I'd spend almost every class reading stories so much so my 7th grade math teacher banned me from reading in his class. Wrote my first fanfiction in about 8th grade at 14, a Richie Tozier x reader, (y/n) was probably a Mary Sue character now that I think about it. But I never expected people to read it, and enjoy it. I've been making stories up for myself and decided I should write another story. I saw a few Duncan x readers and Duncan x OC's and thought holy shit one of my childhood fictional crushes but in a book were I can be part of the story. Some of the stories just didn't feel right, some were perfectly amazing but didn't match what I enjoyed. I saw so many stories with angst, self harm, cheating, s/a, and it bugged me. I wanted a fluffy adorable but kinda spicy romance that felt somewhat real. I wanted a story that was like real life, ups and downs but not overwhelmingly depressing or happy. This book literally started on the idea of what if I didn't slander Courtney but wrote the book like an episode would actually kinda work out, with betrayal and manipulation. All I needed was a main character, so I went with Zane, my name but a character who was how I wanted to be, not overly anxious, a smart thinker, someone people would naturally be drawn to over time. I would have called this book a self insert but it wasn't really me, just a character that had my name and a few character traits of mine but, better. I love how many people said they like the character for things they can relate to with the character.
When I started writing this I couldn't have imagined just how many people would read it. It was a rough start, first i marked the book as mature and wattpad hid it, couldn't find it when searching for the book by title and author. So I took the mature warning off and there it was when searched. Then I started uploading and people came to read it faster than I expected.
This is a truly amazing thing that I have, I wouldn't have thought people would enjoy anything I make but here you guys are.
I hope the path I take when writing is one you enjoy and thank you for reading this 💝.
