Umbra Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 WWE Legacy: Not accepted. Too heavy on the dialogue, a lack of descriptions, and characters are in general boring. This might just be a different style, but to me, it doesn't work. Story of a Legend: Well, you said it yourself. The duels of the earlier chapters weren't that great. However, the parts that remained have potential. Not accepted, but keep working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fen. Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Name: The Dark Side Of His HeartLength: Chapters-17. Words- 27,255 and growing.Link: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-91647-page-1.htmlActivity: Depends....I was grounded this past month...so that slowed my story down a bit....but now since I have my computer back and unless there's no writer's block (Very Rare), about 3-4 chapters a month, 5 if I'm lucky.Example: [spoiler= From Chapter 15. Blast From The Past]“We’re in Tragic Kingdom,” Marluxia mused, “Well, whatever’s left of it,” Said Marluxia as he flicked his bubblegum pink hair. The three were standing on a rocky valley. That was on a flat, cracked plateau. Above them was a large hill. On top of that hill was an old, decrepit castle. It was a tall five story fortress with four tall lookout towers at the tops. The large iron gates were open ajar. “He’s in there,” Marluxia said with a tremor, “be prepared for a fight, this one isn’t coming easily,” Marluxia said quickly. The three then made the trek up the hill. It took them a good half hour because it was a steep hill. There was no life there, no trees, no grass, not even weeds choked this wasteland. The area was also swallowed in pure darkness. The light of the moon was the only light they had to follow by. The three walked in silence. They then came to the top of the mountain. Clear drops of water descended from the sky as soon as they stared upon the derelict castle. They gazed at the old castle where inside, their prize waited. There was only one obstacle left now. Before them was a deep chasm. Larxene gulped and looked over the deep gorge. She could not see the bottom of the abyss. She took out a kunai from her weapon pouch and dropped it down into the wide pit. The three listened for it to hit bottom. About twenty seconds later, they heard a small *plink*. “Woah, that’s a deep ass trench. . . . . .” Marluxia said with a smirk. Axel looked forward. “Let’s just hope the door works!” Axel said as he made a running jump for the gates. He however slipped and fell headfirst into the chasm. “Axel, you idiot!” Growled Larxene, face palming her head. “Do we have to go in after him?” Marluxia said with an annoyed sigh. “We don’t have a choice now. . . . . .” Larxene said with a groan.

"While being controlled by darkness, I could tell where other dark beings were. I sensed a strong darkness from a certain building, but I don't remember which." "Well, the last dream I had involved you, Kim, and the hooded figure," said John. "I think it was telling me to find the place by going into a sewer and walk for a few minutes or so. Perhaps you could find the place if we walk into the sewer and if you sense the darkness." "I can't sense the darkness unless I'm taken over by dark forces, though," said Chris. "I think the Crystal Beasts will sense the darkness, though." "Yeah, good idea," said John. "Sadly I can only sense auras people around me, not of people inside other buildings." John and Chris jumped into a sewer hole and walked and walked for about an hour. Chris's cards then started to glow. He took the cards out of his pocket. "What's wrong, Ruby?" asked Chris. "What? The darkness is here?" About You - Forum Time: 07-03-2008About You - Forum Activity: 620 posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Fantasy Revolution Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Question, say we have two Fan Fics right. If we submit one and it get's rejected can we still submit the other one or do we have to wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Midnight Thief, accepted. Mystery Guest, not accepted. Uses varied formats throughout the chapters, repeated use of the word "said", which is plain annoying, and improper descriptions. Revolution, no. Application is bound to a fan-fic, and not a poster.

Soul Legacy Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Name: The Ghost ChroniclesLength: Currently 8 ChaptersLink: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-112710-page-1.htmlActivity: Updated EverydayExample: [spoiler=First 4 Paragraphs Of Chapter 8] Alex sat in his room; he was on his own looking at the photo he was looking at yesterday before Fiarce came in. The picture showed him as a younger child with two adults standing behind him. The adults looked the same as Alex due to his features, the woman had his eyes and nose, and the man had his hair and neck, these adults, were his parents. He sighed and put the photo away; he stood up and went to the window to see a dead raven on the ground, he closed his eyes tight for 5 seconds then opened them again, the raven was still there, he then just ignored it. He went back to his bed and layed on it; he looked at the ceiling and began to think to himself. “What is wrong with me, every single time I get the chance to ask Agas if my mum and dad are still on this world I freak out and start thinking about me and….” then suddenly there was a knock on the door, Alex looked up at it and asked, “who is it?” the person replied, “its me Stephine!” Alex then got up and walked over to the door and unlocked it. He looked into her eyes and smiled; Stephine smiled back and said, “Hi, um, can I come in?” Alex nodded and stepped out of the way to let her in, “thanks….” She said calmly. As she came in Alex closed and locked the door behind them, Stephine turned around to face Alex, and she took a calm deep breath and asked, “What was with you last night?” Alex stayed silent, trying not to remember last night, Stephine asked again but not as calm, “Alex, what was wrong?” Alex looked up at her and finally answered, “you know why…..” Stephine held her hand to her face and sighed, she then took it away and replied, “We only kissed….” About You - Forum Time: August 2008About You - Forum Activity: 6,642 And another thing, i post my chapters like Edge posts his, when i complete them, i post them on my next post in the thread.

RyanAtlus Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Name: The Story of a Legend ContinuesLength: +/- 37.000, 10 Parts divided in 34 ChaptersLink: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-89474.htmlActivity: Once or twice a week.Example: [spoiler=One of the key Duels coming to an end...]“Do it. Do your last Turn.”“Ok. This one will be the last one, if you say so. I activate my Spell Power Grasp I searched last Turn. That’ll make my Citadel’s Counters go to seven and my Life Points mount to 700. Plus, I’ll search for another Power Grasp.”“Do whatever you want. You won’t win, silly girl.”“Don’t listen to her, just do your Turn and show her who’s the strongest!”Alice Turned to Saitu. “Saitu, you heard her. If I lose, she’ll take my Soul.”“But you won’t.”“I don’t know. And neither do you. But...I want you to know...that you’re more than a friend to me. That’s why I’m Dueling here. I’m taking my revenge on her for using you.”“I-...” He was speechless. He stopped breathing, just for some seconds. “Thanks. I’ll be honest with you. My feelings are the same, but I never realized that till now. This is your moment. Defeat her.”“I’ll try. I’ll activate Trade-In, exchanging my Silent Magician for two new cards.”Her Spell Counters increased to eight. Her Life Points became 1200. Saitu saw she Drew her cards not just with her hands; she Drew with her soul. And she got rewarded for it.“I remove six Spell Counters from my Citadel. Master of the Magician’s, I need your Power. Emerge, greater than before! I Summon Endymion, the Master Magician!”One of the most powerfull Spellcasters appeared on alice’s Side of the Field. He wore an impressive costume; it looked like a crossing between an armor and a costume. An flappering cape completed the picture. His wand was several meters long. It was decorated with a purple power stone. (2700/1700)“He looks like a fun playmate.” Mimi sneered. “What Tricks can he do?”“More than you think. First, I can add a Spell Card from my Graveyard to my hand. And guess what you threw there on your first Turn? Monster Reborn!” The card came out of her Graveyard Slot. She took it and Placed in one of her Spell/Trap Card Zones. Her Life points went up to 1700.“I’ll use it to bring back my Magical Marionette!” A puppet player wearing a red cape joined her Endymion. (2000/1000).“Now I’ll use Endymion’s Effect. I discard Spell Power Grasp to destroy your face-down.”The Sorcerer cast a Spell at the face-down card. Two cylinders appeared, and then they scattered. “So you weren’t bluffing. But now, it’s safe to attack. Endymion, attack with the Ultimate Spell!” He swirled his wand, so that the energy stone started to glow. he then pointed it towards the Knight and released his energy. It scattered, and Mimi’s Life Points dropped to 3600.“Now I’ll suiccide my Marionette on your Dark Magician Girl. Attack using Puppet Spell!”Both the monsters prepared to strike, and they casted the Spell at the same time. They bursts of energy passed each other, both hitting their target.“That was all I can do for now. Who’s going to do her last turn now?”“I am. Because my Sarcophagus’s effect activates, I’ll add Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning to my hand.”“What!” Alice exclaimed.“You heard me right. I’ll Special Summon him right away. The beginning has come to an end. Black Luster Soldier, help me reach for victory.” About You - Forum Time: 12-13-08About You - Forum Activity: 1.445 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kale Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Name: Yu-Gi-Oh! TC: Transcending CaliginosityLength: Chapters: 5; Words: 25,258Link: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-90158.htmlActivity: Rough Average: 2 Chapters a month. Recent: two chapters a week. Example: [spoiler=Spoiler! Short Exert from Chapter 5!]Trey squeezed as hard as he could on that rock. He was pissed. He was tired of all the walking around doing essentially nothing while the one thing he wanted was still missing. Through this irritation he got angry. He got so angry that he began to shake. Or rather, he began to vibrate. His eyes started to glow red, his body began to tense up. Power started to flow through him like he had never felt before, and it was all being diverted to his hand. The stone was like a sponge, it took it all. It took all of the power that Trey was fueling it, and yet it still wanted more and more. Trey pushed his power, seeing how much he could actually send out. The stone kept pace. Soon Trey’s eyes were so bright that they illuminated his face. His skin had a red aura around it, and his muscles were being contorted in a way that he had never tried before. All of his energy was being sent to this stone. And the stone started to heat up. It even started to glow itself, vibrating and illuminating itself. “Let go of it now,” Kal said. Trey did as instructed, not even caring anymore that he was being commanded by the man whom he hated. When he released the stone from his powerful grasp he felt weak, like he cut himself off from his AC adapter. The stone rose into the air, and it was glowing with a power that Trey could not describe. It was so powerful that it distracted the other three, slowing down their quest for immediate departure. The stone cracked. It had a jagged edge down one side that just suddenly appeared, spilling white light from the inside out. It cracked once more, allowing more light to spill. The cracks grew more frequent, and they multiplied. Soon the entire stone was barely intact. The entire shell broke into pieces leaving only the white orb behind. The light morphed into a thin, rectangular object right at Trey’s eye level. It was still glowing brightly, but the light started to fade. There was something inside the light, something inside the case of illumination. “Take it,” Kal said, “It’s yours.” Trey reached up and grabbed what was in front of him. A Duel Monster Card was just created right in front of his eyes.
