Kingdom Hearts: Blank Slate

Kingdom Hearts: Blank Slate is a Kingdom Hearts Fan Fiction written (poorly) by Deadbeatloser22. It started out as an attempt to subvert as many of the tropes commonly associated with the KH Self-Insert Fic as possible (an aim that falls flat on its face around the seventh chapter), and so features an OC who isn't Trapped in TV Land and who doesn't get a Keyblade at the start,, and then grew into what is there today.

Complete at Seventeen chapters (plus Epilogue) and 39000 words in length.

Has a sequel, Kingdom Hearts Tabula Rasa.

The Fic contains appearances from the following games and films:

 * Final Fantasy VII
 * Final Fantasy VIII
 * Classic Disney Shorts
 * The Sword in The Stone
 * Robin Hood
 * Pirates of the Caribbean
 * Hercules (Location only)
