TMNT OCxCanon Comp Round 2

Learn more under the cut!

David Carrasco

@xosogo

- Canon character he's attached to: Leonardo Hamato, from "Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"

- Relationship status: Rivals-to-friends-to-lovers.

- After Big Mama redeems herself and turns the Battle Nexus into a fair competition, David becomes the new Champion to Leo's dismay. At first, Leo thinks David hates the turtle as much as he does, but soon realizes the rooster is just disappointed: He was actually looking forward to meeting Leo! That makes Leo realize he should stop being so prideful and start fighting for fun like David does, not just because of some trophy. Now they just need to win against their opponents and get to the finals to fight each other… Will they be able to make it?

- This is the fanfiction where everything happens! It's currently finished.

Niyah! :]

@sweaterrat

Shipped romantically with Donnie (mutual crush to dating💛💜)

Lemlav is your average fluffy not-so-slow- slowburn between Niyah and Donnie! Despite all odds, the two are a happy couple with a love that exceeds realities (seriously, she came from another universe)! 💛💜

I would link Portals but it’s so old.. 💀 honestly just a stroll through the #lemlav tag should be enough

Tooting My Own Horn!

This is my entry for this year’s Toot Your Own Horn! Though the event is dateless as of now, this applies to the @tmnt-universal-fanfic-comp (UFFC), as well as the @affatmntfan (AFFA). Fics are separated according to their rating with erotica equating to explicit. Some of these are eligible for the UFFC while others are not, the same goes for the AFFA.

All of my fics can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/PrincessGemma12/works

You can contact me on Fanfiction.net, Discord: PrincessGemma12#1461, or here on Tumblr.

General

Unless stated otherwise, these are not eligible for the AFFA.

Before the Storm - Genderbender/Slice of life, minor Leorai but no shipping focus.

Teen

These may be accepted into either the General Ballot or Mature Ballot of UFFC or the Mature Ballot of AFFA, if eligible.

Blood and Salt - Angst/Coming of age, OC-backstory with some blood and non-descriptive gun violence and some other minor-ish warnings. Not eligible for AFFA.

Lovey Dovey (Pt. 1) - Romance/Humor, RLR. High teen with implied/referenced sexual situations but nothing graphic.

Late Nights - Humor/Romance, DLD. Implied/referenced sexual situations and flirting/minor seduction. Moderate to high teen rating.

Mature

Unless stated otherwise, all are eligible for the AFFA.

In the Woods - Genderbender/Romance/coming of age, Apritello and RLR centered but some other minor pairings also.

Through the Looking Glass - Self-acceptance story with some angst and romance, unspecified male character/Leo. Kink.

Lovey Dovey (Pt. 2) - Romance/Humor, RLR. AU-verse.

Deep Blue, Need You Eyes - Romance/minor-Erotica/Humor, Casey/Leo. Sexual situations.

Sharp Tooth - Romance/Hurt/Comfort, OT4 and RLR.

Erotica

Some of these may not be eligible for the AFFA—such cases will be labeled appropriately. Not all of these are specifically erotica stories—but all feature sexual content at some point or another.

Laser Tagging *On Hiatus* - Erotica/Kink/Dub-con/Humor, RLR with minor relationships in the background. May be more fitting for the AFFA Mature Ballot.

Fic Ideas (TMNT Edition) - Shorts playing with story ideas, some feature sex and others don’t. This entry focuses on chapters two and three (Dada Raph and Angel) which are both RLR, humor/erotica. This may or may not be eligible for either competition.

Apprehension - Foot!Raph/Drama/Humor/Romance/Dark/Erotica, RLR with plenty of other pairings. May or may not be eligible for AFFA.

Reminder to check out my fanfics and other fanfics here so you can vote in the Universal TMNT Fanfic Competition. It's a fun fandom thing and you find awesome authors who could inspire you to become an awesome author. This year's list is specifically for fics written or updated in 2018, and winners will be announced in 2019.

Toot Your Own Horn!

For the fifth year in a row, TMNT Discourse opens up our comment section on DeviantArt so that you can Toot Your Own Horn! This year there are two fanfiction award competitions.  We do not have dates for the TMNT Universal Fanfiction Competition yet, but as soon as we do, we'll let you know.  

The second competition is the resurrected Adult Fanfiction Awards! The Nomination window for the AFFA opens Friday, March 20th.  See the launch post here AFFA This is the time of year where you get the chance to recognize your favorite fandom writers/creators/artists.  The starting point for that is of course the nominating process. You may think “Oh that’s easy!  I’ve read so many great stories and seen such great art that I can nominate a lot of things.”   But then when you’re faced with the nomination ballot, you freeze like a deer in headlights.  Why?  Because you can’t remember all you’ve consumed over the past year.  You can’t remember which of your favorite writers created a certain story, or which artist drew that comic you enjoyed. That’s the purpose of “Toot Your Own Horn”.  Yes, we want fandom creators to self-promote.  You should, you deserve the recognition for your hard work.  There is nothing wrong with saying “Hey, I was here. I left my mark.” But that isn’t the only reason to make a list of your work.  It helps those of us who are filling out our nomination ballots to remember the things we’ve consumed over the past year.  It helps us to find the things we’ve loved.  By listing your eligible works, we'll know what can be nominated.  Too often the awards administrators have to 'void' a nomination form because it included something that wasn't eligible. It also helps us to make nominations in categories we might not be familiar with.  Separating your works into categories for us helps us to make the proper selections, for example - does the story belong in the General Category or is it a Mature Category type of work? Please take a few minutes and make a list for us of your qualifying works for the past year.  Works that qualify must have been started or updated in 2019.  They don’t have to be completed works, so long as some part of it was posted in 2019. In addition, works that placed either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in any prior year competition do not qualify.  If the work won a contest or competition on DA but not one of the fandom wide comps, then it still qualifies.

If you have a Tumblr account you can post your list there as well, just use the tag 'tmnttoothorn19' so that people can find you. PLEASE list all of your eligible works, not just the Mature works.  The Toot Your Own Horn will cover both competitions and you wouldn't want anything to be left out - you worked hard on those creations!

Leo sat bolt upright on his futon as the last echoes of a distant racket faded. A final clang of something heavy falling resonated through the lair, and then... nothing. He waited with bated breath.

This kind of noise wasn’t atypical in the lair. Things blew up all the time, literally and figuratively: a miscalculation in one of Donnie’s experiments, or a rabid Raph charging after Mikey until something got in their way—like the TV set. Leo heard it every other week. What worried him was the silence that came after. No curses, no yelling or stomping about. Only Mikey’s muffled snores.

A persistent banging, followed by voices, finally got him on his feet. He shot an uncertain glance at his weapons rack, still unsure of whether this was an emergency or not, as he hurried to his door. When he opened it, he met Raph’s questioning eyes, peeking out from his own door across the hall. Out in the common room, someone had turned on the lights.

The Lotus clan was stirring. Leo’s belly prickled with uncertainty. As the commotion persisted, and just as he was going for his swords, he heard it.

“No! Wait!”

Adrenaline rushed through him at the sound of Donnie’s distress. He yanked his swords from their rack and burst into a sprint, Raph at his heels.

“Guys, wake up!” he yelled at the other doors, heart pounding and muscles tingling.

(...)

(Keep reading on FFnet)

(or on Deviantart)

Chapter summary:   Donnie's and April's near-fatal encounter with that ghost shakes the lair. Literally. Leo is caught in the cross-fires between two clans, and the truth forces family and allies to question their loyalties.

Themes: Sci-Fi, time travel, drama, family and romance.

Ships: Apriltello, Leorai and some mild Rasey.

Rating: T+ for language, violence and some sexual themes, but nothing too explicit.

Authors: violette-aner and suthnmeh.

Yeeaaahhhh!! Who’s up for some drama!? Let us know your thoughts :D

Huge thanks to our awesome beta readers, @queequegg and @theherocomplex, as always! <3

Also guys this is so exciting, A Ghost of a Chance got nominated for “Most in-character Donatello” and “Most Interesting Canon Ally (Casey Jones)” in the TMNT Universal Fanfic Competition!! (tmntuniversalfanficcomp)

Thank you so much, from both of us!!!

OC Ref: Hamato Diana Shen

This is one of several references for the @tmnt-universal-fanfic-comp​‘s Call for Characters.

Character info under the cut, if you don’t like tcest or the pairing RLR, please move on. You may want to blacklist the tags #turtlecest #tcest and #RLR if you enjoy other media from me but not that.

@nyanbacon-art​

Story:

Usually Aggressive Empathy in the Abyss verse but also sometimes other ‘verses, such as my up-coming highschool AU Forever. She hasn’t made her debut yet, however.

Where to Find my Content:

Mostly on Ao3 under PrincessGemma12 but I also have a FF.net account, WattPad, InkBunny and DeviantArt under the same name. I have another Tumblr that I won’t be linking but if you find it say “Hello.”

Abbreviations: H. = Hamato

Description:

The second generation of Teenage Ninja Turtles. She wields twin sai, as well as an odachi sword when the mood strikes, and has a black mask. Typically Raphael and Leonardo’s daughter, however, I have incarnations of her where her bearer is another OC. She’s generally sixteen when I work with her and is the unofficial leader of the kids her age (Saheth, Y’Gynumi, Gralzak, Jones Ken’ichi, Jones Kyoshi, H. Natsuko).

Parents:

H. Leonardo, H. Raphael.

Siblings:

H. Akira, H. Kaito, H. Atsuko.

Other Family:

H. Donatello, H. Michelangelo, H. Miwa (alt. Oroku Karai), Casey Jones, April O’Neil, Shinigami, Slash, Mona Lisa, Leatherhead, Renet Tilley - Uncle(s)/Aunt(s) and “Uncle(s)”/”Aunt(s)”

Tang-Shen, H. Yoshi/Master Splinter - Grandparent(s)

H. Margaret, Saheth, Y’Gynumi, Gralzak, Levena Tilley, Jones Ken’ichi, Jones Kyoshi, H. Natsuko, others - Cousin(s)/”Cousin(s)”.

Physical Description:

The spawn of mutant turtles, so… second generation mutant turtle? That’s… not a mutant? She’s about five-foot-four, with an inverted triangle shape: broad shoulders, small hips, thin (think Rise!Mikey, honestly) thighs, no butt, no bust. Rise!Mikey has greatly influenced her design, so she has his build and shell, but the 2012 TMNT color pallet. Her eyes are the same color as Raphael’s and she has a similar temperament, but moves and carries herself more like Leonardo. She has a scar on her plastron, it’s kinda an oval shape. She has wraps around her feet, same kind of belt as Raph, but also a strap across her plastron like Donnie, for her sword. She doesn’t wrap her hands or wrists but does wear a black-beaded bracelet. She paints her nails black. All of her gear is black, she is the goth-styled child.

Personality:

She has a temper almost worse than her fathers’, but she uses meditation and training to balance her emotional state like Leo does. Overall, though, she’s very chill, real relaxed, albeit over-protective of her younger siblings and friends but she’s a ninja turtle-spawned ninja turtle, so we expect that, right? While not as big of a Space Heroes fan as Leo, Diana loves sci-fi and fantasy, The Twilight Zone and Netflix’s Black Mirror being some favorites of hers. She spent a lot of time with Uncle Mikey growing up, him training her to be Dr. Prakenstine’s minion, so she’s inherited his knack for practical jokes and crazy shenanigans. She hates the taste of jasmine rice, which has Leo fuming, but loves bacon and Rice Sides. She can’t cook but makes a mean sponge cake when prompted.

Important Likes:

Fantasy and sci-fi shows, movies, books, comics, video games and graphic novels.

The Twilight Zone

Black Mirror

Fable

Iron Man

Captain Marvel

Death Note (the anime)

Knitting

Cheesecake

Plain cheese pizza (also with bacon as a topping)

Saheth

Jones Ken’ichi

Important Dislikes:

Dr. Tyler Rockwell

Cockroaches (or really any bugs)

Jasmine rice

She has a peanut allergy

Scratchy fabrics

The cold

Orange juice

Eggs done over-easy or fried

Sugar cookies (she does, but Mikey makes them with too much sugar for her and April only bakes them around the holidays)

Other OC refs:

Hamato Akira, Hamato Kaito, Hamato Atsuko; Saheth, Y’Gynumi, Gralzak; Jones Ken’ichi, Jones Kyoshi; Hamato Natsuko.

The list above will be updated with links accordingly.

Tooting my own Horn for the 2017 TMNT Universal Fanfiction Competition. For consideration, may I suggest "He Is Quantum" and "Laugh Till It Hurts" for Donnie's thoughts on Mikey. There is "Nothing Else Matters" and "Where My Demons Hide" for Raph. And "The Spirit Within" and either "Sing The Body" or "Neurodiversity" for Leo. Every story is about Mikey anyway. Everything on that first page was published in 2017 except for the last story, which already won for 2016. (I wrote a lot and quickly in 2017. I think my writerbrain asked for a break.)

Tooting My Own Horn. For this year’s TMNT Universal Fanfiction Competition. Almost everything on that first page is eligible, if the fics were first published in 2017. I’m also on AO3 under the same name.

[brightlotusmoon]

Ooh, happy five year anniversary to this post. I'm still proud of 2016 Me.

AAAAA YOU GUUUYYSSS My certificates came!

I am still blushing.

I still can’t believe Hecate won Most Interesting Original Character, let alone first place. She is a modern version of a Greek goddess that is in fact a psychic coping mechanism for severe PTSD and was slightly less involved in Mikey’s life compared to, say, Loki, although Loki just talked more. I do love her. She is my matron, along with Persephone. I never expected my fiction version of my Lady to be this popular.

I should mention that my other favored gods include Pan, Hermes, Loki, and Apollo, all featured in “Cold Fire Rising” as Michelangelo’s mental “guides” during his medical stress episodes. The water balloon fight in Mikey’s psychic spirit forest was based on my dreams, as is every dialogue with Hecate - including the scenes in “CFR Crossfire” where they get drunk and throw popcorn at the infinite wall TV depicting the Turtles doing stuff. Part of that was inspired by a reviewer on FanfictionNet who challenged Loki to drink mead with a soup ladle while in a straw hat.
