Welcome!

Welcome to Once Upon A Vocaloid, A group that all of your Vocaloid fanfictions can call home! All Vocaloid-related fanfictions are welcome here, whether song-based, original plot, with or without fanmade characters; whether you're worthy of an award for your writing or if you've never written before in your life. Come on in to read, to write, and to enjoy!

:target:RULES:target:
Please read these before submitting anything!

:bulletred: You're not escaping the general rules of dA here. You are expected to follow all of them at all times.

:bulletred: Plagiarism is not tolerated here in the slightest. All submitted works must be 100% your work. If you try to submit stolen work, or if you are caught with stolen content in your submitted works, you shall be punted from the group, and your work will be thrown down a well and forgotten.

:bulletred: Respect is absolutely necessary here. This means you respect the admins, the admins respect you. You are also expected to respect your fellow members at all times, and under no circumstances should you ever put them down or deliberately attack them. If you don't like their writing style or story, don't comment on it. We don't want to hear it. Above all, you are NEVER to harass another member for any reason at all. Page stalking and leaving cruel comments on theirs and their watchers' pages will get you banned and reported. Do not think I'm bluffing, or you will be sorely disappointed. :heart:

:bulletred: Bomb shelters are expensive to build, so please, no dropping F-bombs. Take it easy on the language. Cursing is absolutely unnecessary in almost all sentences, and if used excessively, you will be kicked from the group.

:bulletred: We allow mature writings in here, such as Romeo and Cinderella-based fanfictions. However, all mature or explicit submissions MUST have the appropriate maturity warning on them. Failure to comply could get you kicked from the group.

:bulletred: Please, for sanity's sake, if English is your first language, speak it properly to the best of your abilities. If you ask us a question saying, "so i wan2 uplod a stry uff a thng bt i duno wer it shud go can u halp mehh plz??????????" You will be ignored. If you're dyslexic, or if English is not your first language, it will be forgiven and overlooked, but if you have no real problem with English, please put in that little bit of extra effort and spell your words with all the letters they contain and try to speak your native language properly. (If you have a real reason as to why you struggle with English, we encourage you to let us know. We won't judge you for it, promise.)

:bulletred: Don't be afraid to report another member to us. If another member is giving you a problem, please let the admins know. Your loving founder SketchSong has declared themself the official hall monitor- They will defend you like a lawyer from hell. If there's someone who's been cursing left and right, let us know. If you see a stolen work, report the deviation and tell us to kick them the heck out. Send us a note, you'll stay anonymous, but please help us keep order.

:target:Gallery Folder Info:target:
To specify the folders' purposes...

:bulletblue: "Song-based" is for Fanfictions that revolve around the story or concept of a vocaloid song. The story can be completely original and creative, but if it's based off of a song, it goes here.

:bulletblue: "Original Story" is the folder for those stories that have no relation to any song and whose story, plot, and concept are made up 100% by you.

:bulletblue: The "UTAU-based" folder is for stories whose main characters are UTAU characters, not for every fanfic with UTAUs in it. If the official Vocaloids are the main characters with UTAUs on the side, it is welcome in the other categories. This specific folder is for those with little to no official 'loid contact.

:bulletblue: If your fanfiction includes any fan-made character with an important role, it belongs in the "Fanloid-Incorporated" Folder. There may be exceptions to this, like if their key role does not last longer than a chapter or two. If you're confused about whether or not yours belongs in that folder, drop us a comment and ask.

:bulletblue: The Gallery folder titled, "Corresponding pictures" is ONLY for your own art that goes with a fanfiction you wrote. Do not upload any pictures you did not draw/photograph/whatever you did. You must also specify in the description what fanfiction of yours it corresponds with. We will be checking these things.

:bulletblue: If there is a folder called "CONTEST," that means there is a contest going on at that time. All entries to the contest are to be placed there. (This title will be in all caps and will have the name/theme of the specific contest.)

:bulletblue: All entries to past contests, win or lose, will be posted in the "Past Contests" folder after the end of the contest. the Winners of the contests (being first, second, and third place) will also be posted in the "Featured" gallery.

And the wait is over! Here are our winners!

1st Place: ha-nata with their entry Rin's Orange Juice“It’s hot.”
Rin, a Vocaloid smaller than the empty cup of shaved ice she was hugging, moaned.
“We’re all hot, Rin. Just bear with it until they come to fix the air conditioner.”
“When’s that?”
“They should be coming soon, just be patient.”
Gumi, Rin’s master, answered. She opened the windows but with the scorching heat outside, it hasn’t made the room any cooler. She looked over to Len, who was as small as Rin and had a stack of Gumi’s homework and books piled up in front of the fan to sit on.
“Does that feel nice?”
“M-m-m-m-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-m-m-m-m-m.”
Gumi smiled and busied herself again with the task of fanning herself as she lay on the floor. Isn’t there anything to help with this heat? Some shaved ice? No, already had some. Popsicles? No, Gumi had planned to buy it after the air conditioner was repaired, and ate the rest with her two Vocaloids yesterday.
Being two small r


2nd Place: invader-zim42 with their entry Sun and Fun (Contest Ver.)A VD&D short story, flash fiction cut
It was the hottest summer since the one that had propelled them all to Lucifenia, though it didn’t quite match that season’s ferocity.  Plants withered, animals grew listless, and small streams dried up.  The Vocaloids at the Tokyo studio were growing crabby, so it was a relief when the invitation from the main studio arrived.
The Vocaloids at the main studio were throwing a summer party in their backyard.  Meiko and Luka had rigged up a system of hoses and sprinklers, and the near shore of the lake was thoroughly checked for hazards.  After a suggestion from Kiyoteru, they also inflated a kiddie pool for Shouta and Ai.  The side garden and the flowerbeds near the guest house were off-limits by an unspoken rule.  The patio had been set up with extra chairs and umbrellas for food and conversation.
Meiko smiled as she examined her handiwork, leaning back in her recliner and swirling her drink.  Luka had

I have a story that is eligible to be entered into :

1. Original Story file ( story, plot, concept, 100% my idea )

2. Fanloid-Incorporated file ( aforementioned fanloid not created by me but has a very important role ) 

Which one should I place it in?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you! I'd say if the fanloid is the main character, put it into Fanloid-Incorporated, but if the fanloid isn't the main character you can put it into Original Story ^u^ Hope that helps!

If I want to submit a mature content deviation, where do I put it? (It will have a mature content warning, of course)

We don't have a separate mature folder, so it would still go into the folder it corresponds with.
