Will you release the submission spreadsheet at some point? <- also wants to expand playlist

Anyhow, I'm trying to send a mix between obscure, what's playing as I submit stuff, and some more popular/popular-ish faves. A bit slowly though bc I do have Words about some of them.

I can definitely do so! Although, would it be easier to make a Playlist of all the songs suggested? Asking for people who may or may not want to have their propaganda made public as well <3

Fic Summary: A recently scooped Michael Afton puts his quest to stop his father on hold to deal with the fact that he has no internal organs, and finds a taxidermist willing to help who doesn't immediately try to bash his head in with a sledgehammer.

Meanwhile, said taxidermist isn't sure whether or not to regret taking this career path as soon as a zombie with a death wish and daddy issues comes into the store asking for help.

Chapter Summary: Remnant has its pros and cons, a fact of which Michael is very aware and Taxi is trying to understand.

Do you have any good fnaf Fan fiction recommendations?

Oh lord, where do I even begin lol. There’s so many good ones out there.

His Empire of Dirt by pearlandpine. One of my favorites. Made me feel emotions I didn’t even know I had. 10/10. Basically, time travel Michael fic who goes back in time and tries to change the path that his father is on.

Eye of the Hurricane by ghostlychances ( @gh0stlychances ). If you like jeremike, I cannot recommend this one enough. Another one of my favs and don’t let the large word count scare you. Everyone of those chapters is an absolute banger that will leave you wanting more. Really dives into the lives of Mike and Jeremy and their relationship together as Mike tries and hunts down his dad. I also recommend this authors other fnaf fics too. They’re all so good.

Literally all of Lucius01 ( @panaramic-art ) fics. Idk how they do it but every single one of their aus is amazing and immediately draws me in and every chapter they post has me running to ao3. I think my favorite of theirs tho is Life of a Living Corpse as it’s the fic that actually got me hooked on jeremike as a couple.

Caught to the Bone, the Rise of Foxtrap by Shadow_Joker ( @shadowjokerao3 ). AU where when working in fazbear frights, William actually manages to get the better of Mike and traps him in an old springlock Foxy suit which he then possesses. I absolutely love the concept and the author does such an amazing job writing it. I also recommend their other fics as well, they have plenty more fnaf ones and they’re all must reads in my eyes.

Yes, We Take Walk-Ins by IDs_Fantasy & LizardsInTheGarden. I love the concept of Mike being like ‘huh, what can I do to fix what Ennard did to me’ and deciding going to a taxidermist was his best option. Every chapter of that fic is an absolute treat and I await anymore that the authors decide to write.

PSA: Don’t Let Stupid Dead People Run Pizzerias by Quetzal1553. Literally one of the funniest crack aus I’ve ever read. Plot is basically Michael fucking up running the pizzeria in fnaf 6 in every way possible. Leaves my dying laughing every time I reread it.

Left Undone by PetePepsi. Fic that focuses on Mike and a crew, which includes Phone Dude, building and running Fazbear Frights. It’s not too far along but I’m already hooked on the concept and eagerly await any updates.

You Won’t Die (You Never Have Before) by PrinceJakeFireCake. Another half crack fic that I love to pieces. Immortal Mike who just dies constantly and gets up and walks away from it each time, completely unbothered.

Lights! Camera! Action! by AshstoAshs. Fic that was recently recommended to me that I absolutely tore through reading. After being scooped, Mike possesses Funtime Chica and from there escapes and runs into Jeremy who decides to try and help him out.

Breaking and Reentering by biteof22. Just some Jeremike shenanigans of them breaking back into sister location.

William D’Afton: A Less Terrible Father (Than His Contemporaries) by PrinceJakeFireCake. Chaotic Michael, clueless Will, ‘would help his bff hide a body if that body is the neighbor he hates’ Henry. Everything is chaos here and it is great. I would literally read a million more words of this AU if the author decided to write it.

People Like Him by WTFGayLittleZooid. Fic where the night shift workers of fnaf Mike, Jeremy, and Fritz all meet up to talk about their time spent surviving five nights at Freddy’s. One of the first fnaf fics I ever read and one I go back to reread ever so often.

Sorry this got long. There’s just so many that I love and so many I didn’t even get to add here seeing as my bookmarked fnaf fics total over a hundred lol. I do hope that if you’re looking for something to read, one of these manages to catch your eye :)

(IDs in alt) some gartic phone highlights with @hazmatazz and @lizardsinthegardens

[loganbutwithfeelings]

You're back! It's been a while; how are you?

OMG HIIIII

yes it's been SOOO longgg, I'm like, okay? I guess?? like I'm safe and healthy, and my mental health has been getting better. I'm back in school!! so yay, but also SO STRESSED

how are youuu??? I actually wasn't sure about coming back to this blog cause I felt bad for leaving it, but I had a bunch of drafts that I figured I'd post. I'm planning on starting to post here again, but def not the regular everyday like I was doing to start out. idk yet, I figured I'd clear out my drafts first and start from there!!!

[best-fnaf-song-competition]

Honestly I love all the "has [x] been submitted?" Asks bc sometimes they remind ME to submit them as well.

Anyway, which song do you think has been submitted the most so far?

They give me a fun excuse to go through the spreadsheet and find out whats really going on in there! I usually just read the propaganda and go "Oh you are so fucking correct and you have the biggest brain" and then I forget

As for most submitted song, I'm not entirely sure but if I had to guess it would probably be between I Got No Time, Break My Mind, and A Pizza The Action. Every time someone sends one of those I go HEHEHE ANOTHER FOR THE PILE and it has been happening a LOT

[idsfantasy]

They the people are becoming more aware of your presence, I see. Also: waving hi to your mention of our fic a few posts down.

So it would seem XD Ruin came out and it seems like a lot of people found my profile around that point which is cool.

And yep!

Speaking of which, to anyone else seeing this, here's the link to the first chapter of the fic for anyone who wants to check it out! Basically, after Sister Location, Mike goes to a very concerned Taxidermist for help. Shenanigans ensue as they cope with plot :D

[idsfantasy]

Your taxidermist fic is so interesting because that is a concept i never considered when handling mike’s zombie but not really like state

Thank you! Honestly I hadn't considered it either at first XD @lizardsinthegardens was the one to come up with the initial concept and eventually we just bounced enough ideas off each other that we got a fic out of it.

[idsfantasy]

Chapter Summary: The deer has escaped, and Taxi and Mike are both internally screaming, though for somewhat different reasons

Cowritten with @lizardsinthegardens

[idsfantasy]

hi. okay. oh my god

so i saw your fic wayy earlier in the morning today, i accidentally scrolled past it bc i was searchin for something specific in the mike tag but the name must've stuck with me. i go onto ao3 wayyy later in the night and i see it and im like 'oohh i remember this i should check it out!!'

OH. MY. GOODNESS. GRACIOUS.

this is genuinely such a good fic i have been yelling to each and every one of my friends about it for the past 30 minutes(as one does when he finds a good piece of media online, whether his friends are in the fandom or not) and I CANNOT GET OVER IT!! the way you write is SO fun to read, and i absolutely love taxi!! idk if you've had this oc for a while or if you made em for the fic, (btw, what's taxi's pronouns? for some reason i can't find them anywhere) but either way TAXI IS SO INTERESTING. their family's naming conventions, their possible backstory, and their kinda hilarious fear of zombies is just SO... i don't even know how to put it, i just love em

AND THE WAY YOU WRITE MICHAEL OH DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED. I love how you expanded on his feelings of his father and also OHHH MAN thank you for focusing on the grosser parts of his current state without bringing up maggots n stuff, as someone with a horrid fear of those kinda parasites it was SUCH a relief reading chapter 4 and not having to deal with that kinda nasty!!!

sorry for writing a literal essay in your askbox, and another sorry for kinda getting so.. idk, hyper over it? im just.... wow. genuine props to you this is the first time i've ever been obligated to askbox someone abt their fanfic it was literally jus that good

YO!!!! (Just gonna @lizardsinthegardens since coauthor and all and idk if you sent the same ask to both of us)

Thank you so much! Any time anyone tells us they like the fic we get super excited, so thank you XD

We made Taxi specifically for the fic, but we have been working on everything since February, so it has been a while in that regard lol.

As for pronouns... We have no idea. Taxi has pronouns of some variety, but neither coauthor knows. We could not decide, and at this point we have committed to never referring to Taxi with pronouns, not cuz Taxi doesn't have them, but because we do not know lol. So no worries on not being able to find them, that's intentional XD

I'm glad you like Taxi! Taxi is super fun to write. Literally just a random person who gets dragged into the insanity that is this franchise lol. The planning doc is literally "Taxidermist is the best FNAF character" or something, so glad to know we're on the same page there lol

As for Mike, glad you're liking the direction we're taking with him! And yeah, I know I don't want to deal with maggots, and I don't think Liz wants to deal with maggots, so he gets to deal with Not That lol

No worries about the long ask, or the enthusiasm! I was super excited to see it. Thank you :D

[idsfantasy]

Chapter 4: Oh Look, the Premise is Here!

After making all necessary mental and physical preparations, the actual taxidermying process begins.

Though not without bumps of course

As per usual, co-written with @lizardsinthegardens

[loganbutwithfeelings]

Have you seen the latest Asides? What do you think?

I did but also honestly it's been so long I don't remember.... BUT you totally reminded me that the new bloopers vid is out, and I wanted to rewatch all of the sides vids anyways!!!

maybe I'll do my hot takes/notes from each of my rewatches... hmmmmm....

[loganbutwithfeelings]

Also, I'm glad your're back! (even if you have to take another break, it was nice hearing from you!)

I'm so glad to be back!!!! hopefully I won't have to take another break in the next couple months. I loaded up my queue so I won't have the pressure/anxiety of posting every day, that way when I can hop on it'll be fun and not stressful!

and it's so nice hearing from you too!!!! unfortunately I think my asks are all outta order somehow so idk which ones were sent when, but i hope you're doing better nowadays and taking time for yourself!! drink some water and do something that makes you laugh today!!!

[loganbutwithfeelings]

I've been alright, I suppose. Some problems in 1 aspect of life are leaking into the others but I can handle it! I hope you find a better job and I'm sorry to hear that you have been so stressed out.

I hope things have gotten better!! I know it's been a while, and even if things haven't settled just yet just remember that they will!!!

also it's okay not to box yourself up. sometimes stuff in your life bleeds into other parts, and for sure that's stressful, but also you're human!! you're allowed to be affected if things aren't great right now.

but I do hope things have improved!!! sending good vibes your wayyy 💕

[loganbutwithfeelings]

Roman would've been the one to decorate the house's interior/front porch. Remus would take over the rest of the yard Just. The main yard being the creepiest thing a PG can muster(think of the kiddos!- Patton), and then the porch, with just glitter and fresh jack-o-lantern type stuff.

yes yes YES--

just like so many different vibes from each of them but somehow they work

also remus? for SURE hiding in some bushes, but he only jumps out if theres like teenagers, cause it'd be too mean to scare the kids

[loganbutwithfeelings]

Hey. How are you today?

I mean honestly? not good. I had to get a job to make money to help my fam and I've been pulling 8-9 hour shifts on my feet all day and it's utterly draining. that's why I haven't been super active here, I've really been doing nothing but working cause they have been putting me on full time hours when I thought I was being put on part time... I've been applying to other places just cause I really can't keep working there. I get so anxious and so exhausted everyday, I just really need a new job...

thanks for checking in, and I'm sorry I don't have happier stuff to say. I guess to end on a happier note, I have been reading the twilight series for the first time, and I've been having a ton of fun with it!!

how have you been doing? I'd love to hear what you're up to!!
