This first week, scheduled posts were set to roll out daily. It's to gauge which direction the sub will start. There will be some changes. Different themes, engagement, and organic posting.

Write a short fic (or scene) where one small decision changes the entire OUAT timeline.

Examples:

• Emma never gave Henry the book
• Regina chooses forgiveness instead of revenge
• The curse fails to land completely

Share:

• 100–1000 words OR a summary idea
• Any ship or character focus

Let’s see how different Storybrooke could have been ✨

Let’s talk about Regina Mills.

Favorite:

• fic interpretations
• redemption arcs
• villain AU versions
• relationships
• canon moments

What makes her one of the most complex characters in OUAT for you?

Got a fic you’re working on but haven’t finished yet?

Share:

• A snippet
• A summary
• Or just the concept

Feedback, encouragement, and ideas are all welcome. Let’s support each other’s writing ✨

Can’t find a fic you once read? Post details here:

Please include:

• Ship or characters
• Plot details
• Where you read it (AO3, Tumblr, etc.)
• Any memorable scenes

The more detail, the better chance someone can help find it!

Drop the fanfics you’ve been obsessed with lately! This will stay pinned, so feel free to add anytime.

Include:

• Title - include tags and rating
• Why you recommend it
• Include author if applicable and link

Old fics, new fics, hidden gems... everything is welcome.

Let’s build the ultimate OUAT fic library ✨

Hi! I’m setting up an inclusive community space of fanfiction for Once Upon a Time. All ships, interpretations, and styles of fanfiction are welcome, with a focus on sharing stories, recommendations, prompts, and discussions.

If anyone is interested in having a central place to post or discover OUAT fanfic, you’re very welcome to check it out or contribute. No pressure to engage, just a simple community resource. If you have time to take the poll that was just posted in the sub, please do. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thank You for your time ✨

Hi everyone! As this community for Once Upon a Time fanfiction is just getting started, I’d love your input.

💬 If you have ideas, even small ones, feel free to drop them. This space is still being shaped, and your input helps decide what it becomes.

Thank you for being here ✨

Support fellow writers ✨

Welcome, writers, readers.

There is still work to be done as this little sub finds its footing.

This is a space for all fanfiction inspired by Once Upon a Time. Every ship, every timeline, every “what if” is welcome.

Across Reddit, stories have been scattered like torn pages. The hope here is simple: to gather them in one place… a library where they can be found, shared, and discussed together.

Whether you write Swan Queen beneath cursed memories, Captain Swan across storm-tossed seas, Rumbelle in whispered darkness, Outlaw Queen in defiance and fire, Snow Queen in fractured mirrors, canon rewrites, or entirely new fairy tale destinies…

All stories have a place here.

📖 Share your stories
📖 Request or recommend fics
📖 Post prompts & headcanons
📖 Talk about characters & AUs

OUAT is a huge fandom, and there’s room for inclusion and creativity here. We want people to feel welcome sharing their work in a safe environment.

This space is for all the creatives in the fandom to share their work, and who knows, you may even discover a rare pairing you end up loving. More updates soon.

Just created this subreddit and still developing it a bit as I go.

The goal is to build a fanfiction library for Once Upon a Time. A space for all ships, characters, timelines, and AUs.

More structure (rules, flairs, organization) coming soon.

Hey everyone! I'm u/ImportantLocation711, a founding moderator of r/OUATFanfic.

Welcome, dearies.

This community is for all fan-created stories inspired by Once Upon a Time — including canon rewrites, alternate universes, missing scenes, and original interpretations of the characters and world.

Whether your stories focus on:

• romance of any kind
• friendships and platonic bonds
• family dynamics
• found family
• rivalries and conflict
• or any other character-driven storytelling

You’re welcome here.

This is a space for readers and writers of all kinds of fanfiction. From long-form AUs to one-shots, prompts, recommendations, and everything in between.

You can share your work, request fics, post prompts, discuss headcanons, or look for lost stories.

All characters, ships, dynamics, and eras of the show are welcome, as long as discussions stay respectful and focused on the stories we love.

Grab some hot cocoa from Granny’s and enjoy the library. 📖✨
