Who Writes The Best Splatoon OC Fanfiction On Wattpad?

Splatoon fanfiction on Wattpad is a wild and colorful ocean of creativity, and while I haven't read every single story out there, a few authors consistently stand out to me for their ability to capture the game's vibrant energy. One name that pops up often in discussions is 'InklingSquids,' who specializes in OC-driven stories that feel like they could be official side content. Their work 'Turf War Chronicles' nails the balance between action-packed battles and slice-of-life moments, giving their OCs distinct personalities that mesh perfectly with the Splatoon universe. The way they weave in game mechanics like ink types and special weapons feels organic, not forced—something a lot of fanfics struggle with.

Another favorite is 'OctoJelly,' whose darker, more narrative-heavy take on Octoling OCs has a cult following. Their series 'Deepsea Echoes' explores the aftermath of the Octo Expansion, blending lore-heavy storytelling with original characters who actually grapple with the world's conflicts. What I love is how they avoid making OCs overpowered or Mary Sue-ish; their flaws feel real, and their growth arcs are satisfying. Wattpad's comment sections for their stories are always buzzing with theories and fan art, which says a lot about how invested readers get.

Then there's 'FreshSquid,' who leans into humor and chaotic squad dynamics. Their one-shots, like 'Ink It Till You Make It,' are packed with meme references and in-game slang, but they never sacrifice emotional depth. Even their silliest OCs have moments that hit surprisingly hard—like a rookie Inkling panicking before their first Turf War or an Octoling struggling to adjust to surface life. It’s that mix of lightheartedness and genuine heart that makes their stuff so addictive. If you’re scrolling Wattpad for Splatoon OCs, these three are a great starting point—just don’t blame me when you lose hours falling down the rabbit hole.

Is there a 'best'? Or just a 'best for you right now'? My favorites have changed over the years as I and the fandom have evolved. When I was younger, I loved the dramatic, plot-heavy Agent 4 successor stories. Now, I get more joy out of slice-of-life about OCs running small businesses. The Wattpad landscape reflects that diversity. Maybe instead of looking for the pinnacle, just sample different genres. Read a high-stakes sports drama, then a cozy romance between two rival players, then a horror-tinged story about the Deepsea Metro.

Your personal 'best' writer is out there, but they might be writing a genre you haven't even thought to search for. Use the reading list feature to follow users with similar tastes; their public lists are treasure troves of curated content. The collaborative filtering of a community is better than any single recommendation I could give.

Platform loyalty is kinda silly. The best writers often cross-post. I found my absolute favorite Splatoon OC author on AO3 first, but they also mirror their work on Wattpad under the same name, 'AbyssGazer'. Their series is a speculative sci-fi thriller about an Inkling scientist discovering a disturbing truth about the sanitized OCs from the games. It's chilling, brilliantly plotted, and the OCs—both the scientist and the sanitized subjects they study—are incredibly complex. The prose is tight and atmospheric, a cut above most fanfiction.

So don't limit yourself to one platform. Many authors use Wattpad as a secondary channel. If you find a writer you like on Tumblr, DeviantArt, or AO3, check if they have a Wattpad. You might find their work there in a more reader-friendly serialized format. The 'best' writer for you might not be a Wattpad native.

At the end of the day, the only way to know is to dive in. Start with the 'Splatoon OC' tag, sort by 'Hot' to see what's currently popular, then sort by 'New' to find undiscovered talent. Read the first chapter of ten different stories. You'll know within a few paragraphs if the writer's style clicks with you. Follow authors you enjoy, and soon your feed will become a curated collection of content tailored to your taste. The algorithm isn't perfect, but it learns.

Don't be afraid to drop a story if it's not holding your interest. Your time is limited. The goal is to find stories that bring you joy, that make you think, that make you love this world even more. That personal connection is what matters far more than any objective measure of 'best.' So go forth, click freely, and may you find many fresh tales to enjoy.
