I then remember that earlier today, I saw that all the way back in a previous thread Doft asked if I was inspired by any fan fictions and stuff to make my AUs, and I started writing this long reply but went off to do homework so I didn’t finish it, so I’m copying and pasting my answer I wrote that’s a list of inspirations for anything in everything here:

Randomtale has some references to some stuff and I took some inspiration from seeing TS!Underswap to make the characters and story a lot more different

Unnamed AU#1 is inspired by GHOST and Pals stuff and is an evolved fanfic I made in my head before even joining Crazy Fanfics or creating Randomtale. It was actually the second AU I started making (or third if you count that one I’m making with User1204... and I don’t even know what number if you count scrapped AU concepts but I don’t remember when I came up with the ideas for those). It can be considered “inspired” by one of my scrapped concepts that I listed in that blog post and I guess could be considered “inspired” by a certain version of Dream (I’m not sure if it counts as an AU or just an idea people can and do use in fanfictions) which I’m not gonna name because spoilers. I also took inspiration from Inside Out for one part. One character uses a sword because of a Wattpad fan fiction where Dream could summon a sword somehow and... stabbed himself, but the character in this AU that’ll use it isn’t the version of. Also, I added more AUs to it but I’m not revealing which ones. Also the weapon summoning thing I imagine would play out like how gems in Steven Universe summon weapons. Another thing is that the protagonists have dolls of each other which I decided on because of Switched Destinies (Where Dream has a plushie of Nightmare... don’t question it).

I think I’ve probably forgotten some information but either way I’d be here all day if I kept going so- (bleh)

Unnamed AU#2 isn’t really inspired by anything... well, maybe the trope “Criminal Amnesiac” which it does use, but I can’t remember if I looked at the trope page first or made the thing first. This is another evolved fanfic I made in my head, and the third AU I started making (again, not counting the one with User1204 because I made that concept by myself back at the beginning of the year, scrapped it, then brought it back to life to suggest I make it with them)

Brokentale is another evolved fanfic and the first AU I started making (Again, discounting User1204). It doesn’t really take any inspiration from anything unless you count that the characters are probably gonna use Deltarune’s battle system

I think I’ve got everything
