Fan Fiction Story Time - February 2025 Part 2

Does the author know that when this story was written, Link was a minor in every game out at the time

I refuse to believe whoever wrote this is an adult despite what they said in the warnings 💀 "People in control of their emotions and have also obtained some sort of common sense never let little things get them riled up" procedes to write an essay about the little things instead of just ignoring them

I'm going to tell children (not mine) this was the declaration of independence

MEDIA LITERACY GASLIGHTING FINAL BOSS Ah yes, the arguably ongoing internet era of “I want to appear The Most Tolerant so I’ll never say I don’t accept criticism, but if people tell me anything about my story that I don’t wanna hear, it is because they are malicious bad actors who are actually like, clinically insane incels, and I wish them well but they must stop and please apologize at once!” And it’s like oh buddy… oh man that is not how media literacy works on behalf of the artist, the art, the audience, and all of those etc. relationships therein. Actually it’s not just an internet thing lmao the internet is just more where you’d see regular often anonymous people doing it, instead of people with enough presence to get their stuff published/aired etc. I cannot handle this usage of the word “queer” for the straightest shit. Please bestie Edit what the fuck is THIS where that piss legend entered my fuckin middle school 💀 some senior was talking about like, a cum version of that. As I say there, unaware I wasn’t cis, gay as hell like HUH. INTERESTING.

Did they ever start the story?!

Jesus Christ, 10 minutes and no story yet

Dan coming in with the USA national anthem is amazing

Amazing

I COMPLETELY forgot that this was the intro for the chapters they would read later. This is so angry compared to the actual material. 🤣

Understandable crashout from the author tbh LMAO

Who came back after the latest upload?

Can somebody please tell this person that only one or two content warnings will suffice, and that you can keep them nice and brief.

Had to come back before starting Chapter 4, I remember the AN being hilarious

the chap laughing in the background makes me rewind over and over, i could listen to that shit all day. what is the name of this glorious Creation?

Omg. All caps.... This is what Donald is doing in between.... Wars?

lady came out the pussy drawing fucking mozart

The amount of times I've returned to this one particular storytime has to be some kind of rewatching record. Listening to them all break down over the author's monologue scratches a part of my brain I didn't know existed.

I cannot express how much I love the phrase “I am not close-minded. I never have been.”

The description got me excited, the author's note left me horrified that we'll get another My Immortal

This wounded my soul. I want to go back to the grinch/tony the tiger fic to heal.

People accused of grooming have responded in a more reasonable fashion than this author

I wonder which piece has more of the word "dreams" in it: this 1-chapter excerpt fanfic or Sharkboy's song in Sharkboy and Lavagirl. I need to know, now.

Holy cow this is the third best day of my life I love this

I never thought I would yearn for the days of “stop flaming da story preps”

I would bet good money that the author is now enjoying the Link character AI chatbots and is falling into deep AI psychosis, if they never grew out of this that is LOL

the phrase "mary sue char" punted me back to 2005

I love autism

I love that the first chapter also didn't have any actual story in it. I wish Ike had been like "by the way, the author deleted the entire story, that note is all that's left on their page"

Wow this one really got me. The amount of times it sounded like rant done, only to double down and attack something or someone else is perfect.

This reads like Yuri lambasting Natsuki for leaving a hate comment on her fanfic.

please continue/fisish this series XD!

The battle hymn of the Republic broke me

That first one looks and sounds like a trump post.

Shoutout to the hardworking gecko warning everyone about the contents of this fanfiction.

The AN alone should have been a separate chapter😂 also ike or toasty completely losing it in the background had my ribs aching😂

Ike is becoming my favorite off-screen presenter

halfway through the authors note, i started wondering if it was written by the girl who wrote my immortal. "Accesstpt" had me dying

is that Toasti back there laughing his ass off like tht was high key the best part during the crash out LMAO

This is so fucking funny, and totally relatable. When I was young on the internet I would have typed just the same thing. The early internet was so earnest and everyone was ready to be vulnerable, but people were also earnestly hateful hahah! "Surely I just have to explain to these people why they should stop bullying me! That will surely make them stop! :D". When folks talk about why social media is bad, this is why lol. Because it esposes the naive to the mean, nerd to bully, and in numbers higher than any other time in history.

Thank God I work from home. I had to stop a few moments from laughing so hard.

This is why i hate liberals.

honestly author had a valid crash out

I think we found My immortal’s author!!!

The disclaimer was such a fanfiction.net nostalgia trip

Really is fucking "I have a dream"

The response to reviews that complained about particular aspects of the content after having been clearly warned about such content is valid. The thing that is funny is the insistence that such people are acting childishly rather than like adults while simultaneously acting childishly by getting so riled up about such meaningless things in the first place.

"persona, noun, in biology, same as person" really caught me off guard. I cracked up already. And we haven't even gotten past the first page of the author's notes.

….now, let’s get to the story where me and link do butt stuff. XD

God damn “Solidarity Forever” lmao

man this one was hot and steamy

fanfiction dot net was my introduction to fanfic, what a treasure trove. rip in peace

Please read more of this my god. This is the funniest fanfic premise yet its like My Immortal to me

When you knew from the GECKO

Listen 4 pages might be excessive but the author isn't like, in the wrong. There's a reason 'dead dove do not eat' is a tag these days lmao

The steady way Arin read the author's note made it 100x funnier.

tbh i get why the authors note was like that, its why the tag "dead dove: do not eat" exists

Was this written by Darth Dawkins?

I feel it is VERY worth mentioning that that author's note seemed to be written *after* getting reviews, not prior. I'd guess that's the crosspost to ao3 and they're genuinely just padding the note to bore any haters into going away and/or vent.

That was hilarious and, to be fair to the author, i don't feel like they were technically wrong about the things they were upset over lol 🙈

Oh I need to hear more of this fic that note was soooo funny

“Glory, glory hallelujah”

as an isolated piece, this was pure genious

If they actually continue this story it’ll be the longest thing they’ll ever cover on FanFiction Storytime. It’s like 94 pages long.

Listening to these are getting me though work. That was one of the funniest things I heard in a while.

I have not laughed THIS HARD in so long oh my GOD

The laugh in the background is contagious love it!

I can't get over the fact that they kept calling the smut "lemon". Wasn't that a term for gay stuff?

My headphones died right as Arin said “Don’t read on” which definitely feels like a sign

The author is unbelievably invested in their fanfic

That authors note was gold. Please continue this one!

Arin was really channeling some Chris Chan energy while reading that author's note, ha ha.

Dan half falling asleep in a daze is my mood for life 🤣

can someone check on the author? i fear they might have crashed tf out after writing that authors note. regardless i think the crash out was valid

That authors note is how I write essays with a minimum word count

Ah yes. What every fic I read needs: A fifteen minute T.O.S. style lecture.

Flames, misspellings, lots of sex?!? Is this the My Immortal writer?!?!

the authors note made me WEEP LAUGHING and my eyes bulge simultaneously.

My character is NOT a Mary Sue!! She’s- (proceeds to describe a literal Mary Sue)

There is WAY more of My Inner Life and you guys are missing out HUGE if you don't read it. You'll miss when she has to drink Link's piss in order to marry him.

This feels like a PSA for my Dad to listen to. 15 minutes of Gold Warning. Thank you so much for keeping that part in.

Gosh darn.. they didn't add any edits when they were reading the long-ass ramble, but started the edits when they started reading. WHY?? I just wanna see the boys reading. Who did this to this series? ;_;

I'm listening to this through an ear bud at work and 100% am where Dan was around minute 19. That is so much warning but makes so much sense for the time this was written lmfao

I think the word 'queer' is used to mean 'odd' or 'unusual' in the context. I think? This was the meaning quite a few years ago, similar to how the word 'gay' used to mean happy.

The wild part is that the sentiment of the author's note is not incorrect. It is, in fact, shitty and immature to read something you know you won't like just to leave nasty comments about it. But any moral high ground the author had is immediately completely destroyed by the five full pages of self-important capslock scolding instead of just deleting the offending reviews and ignoring it. Incredible stuff.

>18:32 oh shit did Toko write this? No wonder she's the ultimate writer

was this originally on fanfiction dot NET???? how old is this fic lmaooo

This is the "My Immortal" of LOZ fanfiction.

I really hope they continue this. It's so much. It feels like a fever dream.

Who else read the whole story ages ago? Can't wait til they get to all the tiger sex lmfao.

OMFG they picked my fic!!!! Once they get past the intro it's even fucking crazier!!!! Thanks so much Danny and Arin!!!!

It just sounded like white noise after 10 minutes

if you would like to sync up the song Dan started humming its here and it makes the rant SO GOOD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbEB-R8qCCc

I feel like we kinda have to know where this goes after that author's note

Y'know, just because of that wild ass author's note, now I really do want to hear you guys read it to us!

"Also as a side note" 12 minutes into the video is so funny

Link was a child in like 60% of that game…so…questionable about how much the author cares for link…

this is a troll. there is no story, just a rant. lmao

So real theory. Is this actually the person who wrote My Immortal? Theres soooooo many similarities in that “authors note” Including “i have been flamed….”

Dan humming Battle Hymn of the Republic broke me

Dan face lol hes like "OMFG Where is the story beginning at ??!!" lmao

Thanks you for this, everyone involved. It made my day. And remember.... You cannot just ask childish.

"I loved him since I first laid eyes on him." "My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time." THE ONE WHERE HE STARTS AS A CHILD???

Modern art masterpiece

I'm LIVING for this. You guys are not ready for the Bonding Ceremony and tiger allegory sex.

this killed me. i'm dead. that was the greatest thing i've ever heard

I was promised sex and blood. Where is my earth shattering kaboom?

dan humming the usa anthem or whatever patriotic song that is took me tf out

Oh my goodness! The one time I'm late and it's my submission! (I'm lezzybeaverman, not bowerman, but close enough). I shrieked in delight! There is SO MUCH MORE. And when she says heavy sex, she means "they do a bonding ceremony where they drink each other's pee and bang in front of monks". But it's LOOOONG and honestly the author's note is one of the best parts, so that's where I focused when I sent it in. This was everything I've ever wanted.

This... story?... was the most drawn-out and exhausting I've heard... and it hasn't even started yet... 20 minutes of nothing but "this is what it's going to be", "queer" and basically saying "I wanna be a writer, put my work out there, but F you if you critizise me".

This author talks like Chris-Chan and i pray that they did not turn out like Chris-Chan

I could feel myself dissociating as the "author's note" kept going. Only to snap back in when the author would once again use the word "Queer" because what the flip-flop???

So is there more or...?

Well, the author's heart is in the right place.

Live, Laugh, love Ike, thank you for picking the fanfiction we wanted

What’s your favorite episode of FFST Billy? I like the one where Arin read a pontificating author’s note for a looooooong time But like holy crow. Like 15min!

Goddamn i love an earnest, unhinged screed. fantastic ep

The author's notes gave me the same feeling as gooning for 5 hours on a Sunday evening, not finishing, then going to bed and remembering i have work the next day.

This is giving me a bran new appreciation for the efficiency of the author's notes in My Immortal. A simple: "STOP FLAMMING!!!111 Raven fangs the help" would have sufficed haha

Arin's comedic timing is on point

This author REALLY needs to stop using the word "Queer." I don't know what generation she thinks she's from, but it has a VERY different connotation in this day and age.

Legend of Zelda fanfiction makes being named Link a risky business ngl

Around 16 minutes in and ready to start the fanfiction 😂

This entire segment feels like we just found someone's 20-year-old diary off the ground- unsigned, unnamed, and unaddressed- read it to the class the next day, and now are wrought with the burden of never knowing the true identity of such a fine and raw relic

This is such a fever dream 🫠

I pine for "Raven fangz 4 helpin agen". It's more nonsensical but goddamn is it shorter 😆

Jesus Christ. So many times I thought it was finally over, but it just kept going.

From "I can't believe a slot is wasted for this trash" to "This is actually kinda funny", though I do not want any more of this "novelty" shit.

Kinda wanna shake the author, like making this long of a rant on the internet 1. Shows a lack of self reflection in just so many ways 2. Invites people to trash you because your rant is hella funny

It's definitely written by a middle grader who has a strong hyperfixation on her first sexual awakening.

For those wondering: yes, there is a lot more to this story and yes Dan and Arin ABSOLUTELY need to read it.

Me and the wife just got home from a nice date and are happily ending the night listening to a passive aggressive authors notes reading. Perfect way to end the day.

No way is there no more story 🤣 did the chapters the people were complaining about just get lost to time? That's crazy 😂😅

Yeah Phoenix Tight and My Inner Life blow that whole “the Grinch doesn’t fuck Tony the Tiger” story out of the water. Read on

I thought My Immortal had too many Author's notes

I think it would have been even funnier if it turned out of there was no legend of Zelda fanfiction, this was the entire thing, a fake author's note

I really appreciate the fact that the intro music for these videos fades in rather than just starts at full volume because the volume of patreon videos is always super fuckin loud for me for some reason and I have to turn it down every time so it's nice to get a chance to do that without going deaf

i know everyone's having a good time laughing at the author's note but i can't help but feel bad for them and i hope they're okay

That was beautiful

"You are all immature and childish for leaving mean comments! Anyway here's a story about how I fuck the little elf guy with the green hat."

All jokes aside, tell me you're insecure without telling me you're insecure. Wow

Didn't think you could attach a manifesto to a story. The more you know. 🌠

Wait....so what kind of story is this?

This was WAY too horny you guys. I know there's always a chance with fanfic to be adult rated, but this was too much.

I can’t get over “we need to conduct ourselves like adults” when it is SO evident that this person is like 16 years old

I've never heard a more true quote to represent the internet than "People are out there, man."

I need them to continue reading this just to validate all of us sitting through 15 minutes of an author's note XD

I'm going to incorporate "knew from the gecko" into my vocabulary.

That authors not took half of my break, what am I doing with my life

OMG YES, jokes aside, these are actually really good words! Toxicity doesn't help anybody and why I usually have comments on stuff turned off. There's a difference between constructive criticism and just being toxic for no reason. This author is very valid to write all of this👏❤️

MY GOD, that's the biggest laughing fit I've heard in one of these, and just from Author's Notes!😂

The rant in the beginning about the negative reviews is actually very valid👏

I heard "lemon" and felt an entire decade of life force get ripped away from me

What's the chance that this was written by the same anonymous person who wrote "My Immortal"? That bit in the preface where they say "don't flame me" seems like a little hint. Also with the grammar and spelling errors which seem too funny to be unintentional. Maybe it's just me.

A simple "keep criticism constructive and respectful" would have sufficed. Even the author of "My Immortal" wasn't this extra 😂

The record for longest author's note has been set. 🤣

After that disclaimer section, I'm like Dan and started falling asleep, haha.

I was interrupted kissing your dad, a whiskey bearded kiss no less, to listen to THIS?!

13:27 might be my favorite auto correct ever.

Those author’s notes make the My Immortal author seem sane.

15 minutes of author's note and 3 minutes of story 😂

i can’t believe almost the entire episode is JUST THE AUTHOR’S NOTE

I can't I'm 7 minutes in and it's still the Author's Notes 😂 Is this the new My Immortal in my life?

“The plot needs some work”? Girl I thought these were your dreams 😂 God Arin reads these scripts with such emotion I cannot contain my laughter

FIFTEEN MINUTES OF WARNINGS

Hell yeah boys, let's go Edit: came back after watching the episode. We need a sub-series that is JUST author's notes for these things

Getting reeeeaaal "I'm warning you with peace and love" vibes here

This is why I paid for the patreon. No other reason. Something to listen to wile I kiss your dad

Yippee, and I just finished errands too!
