Fusion X. Denver Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 No one else has asked for shorter chapters.Some people have asked for longer chapters.I think you're the only one who thinks they're too LONG.Or maybe El does too since you two have apparently talked about it, but he's never told me that >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 He skips parts of your chapters, how's that NOT thinking they're too long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 He said you made it sound far worse than it was, which has been proven true before. I gave him cliffnotes for Crab's story, so he knows all he needs to.Kinda ironic it's you two of all people who are the ones with the problem over its length >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I just told you what he told me ,-, Anyway, I'm gonna read DEF, still but Probably be as caught up in it as........ as... MoE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 @FusionYou need LONGER CHAPTERS, mostly because then I can read epic stuff while jamming out to music and shiz. Also Short Chapters = WAY below my reading level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Quantity =/= Quality So you only like to read big-ass stuff because it's apparently at your reading level while smaller stuff isn't? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 @DLI was implying that Small chapters are of a lower skill level. Quality Books usually have fairly long chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Fan fics aren't quality books. And again, length has nothing to do with quality. Proof being that while Fusion's chapters are different from El's and my owns, he considers all our fics around the same level. Something splendid can be written in short chapters, while at the same time something crappy can be written in a drawn-out, long chapter :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 @DLI'm sorry, never read El's stuff, I find your stuff good for a laugh or two, Fusions I read because it hooks you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Meh...honestly DL, I find KS and BTM superior to DEF. You guys both have a diverse, likable cast and an enriching story.Like, El's is unclear, with only vague allusions to whatever plot will eventually become the main focus of the fic. But it works, despite being over 40 chapters in. It has different stuff going on every arc.And your story is interesting because it tracks the progression of anti-heroes as well as all sorts of colorful action and character developments.DEF is superior to you two only in the fact it's managed to grab people's attention by being a YCM fanfic. You know, getting to see themselves in a struggling epic.The one other difference I believe (though I don't know if this is how it is with you 2, I'm guessing from what I read) between us is that you two have your story planned out. DEF writes itself.Don't get me wrong, I have the finale planted in my head and I know where I want to get to, it's the journey that's the mystery. Like, I made JoshIcy a villain, Status an evil group, and sent a bunch of random people to Japan, all on a whim. So it's different story-telling. I feel as though you two are better writers than me, it's just that my fic appeals to a broader audience in the sense it's somewhat realistic (keyword: somewhat) and...that people are in it >.>Chapter length is irrelevant to me, as long as it's consistent. I know my chapters kinda grew longer from when I first started, but at least it's stayed that way >.>So DL, while I'd consider a longer chapter of KS a pleasant treat, I wouldn't expect that from you all the time because you've consistently maintained a certain length for all 100+ chapters.I just don't want to ruin that sense of comfortable consistency for anyone reading DEF, that's all.

DL Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 @Creator - My current fic =/= fic for teh lulz like KS XD @Fusion - Actually, there's plenty of stuff (most of stuff) I do on a whim. xD I didn't have Ami, Kai, and Hikaru joining the new Akatsuki planned out, I didn't have the future arcs planned out, etc. They came to me as good ideas as I wrote the story. Well, I suppose it still counts as planning... .-. xD Also, the one thing I see superior in KS to yours is that I like, make almost every character important. Like, there are hardly any 1-shot, unimportant characters. You all thought Ami was gone for good until she joined New Akatsuki ;D So yeah, I suppose through being able to keep my characters important, I get to characterize them better. So I suppose characters are my strong points? :3 El's strong point is...battle scenes and plot, apparently. xD Your strong point is... marketing? O.o And that is definitely true, I would not expect you to shorten your chapters drastically. But must you make them longer? TT~TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 @DLQuit being lazy and dwi. And you do realize that having to many main characters is bad right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have actually very few main characters. But there's a difference between main and having importance There are hardly any minor characters, because I give all characters importance to some degree, though not necessarily are they all mains, far from it. And I am dealing with it, by reading it slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I agree DL, you do make every character important. I always feel bad because characters like Black and Chase should be more important when the plot neglects them .-.Although, if you think about it, I have a huge f*cking cast.I literally have over 100 people, most of them YCM members, as characters. To give everybody decent character development could be impossible, or at least impossible for the amount of story I'm making DEF take.But my one-shots shall be the remedy, as all will be canon :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 This makes me VERY uncomfortable. My one-shots will be different from D.L's filler.Sort of.Don't worry, I won't "torture" my characters by putting them in ecchi/crossdressing situations or whatever....well maybe the main 3, but whatever xP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Lol But you know, I meant in the way that your filler could never be as filler-ish as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 They're not really filler, since all of them will be canon.Probably.These aren't all comedy stories, the first one is actually kinda cool, or at least I think so.They're like side-stories that will develop the story overall more, but aren't completely necessary, know what I mean?

Sploda Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 You know, this is why you need to save this stuff to a Flash Drive. makes it SO much easier. I mean I'm writing a story (unrelated to anything or anyone here, actually been working on it since Dec. 30th last year) and I always keep a spare copy on a Flash Drive. 1. It means if you can't get to the usual computer, you can still work.2. If your computer freaks out and dies you don't lose all your data.3. You can add things at school and such without having to write it down on paper.4. You don't have to only use school issued items if your writing it at school.5. You ALWAYS know where it is (or at least you better).6. When you suddenly get an idea, you can quickly add it before you forget or it becomes obscured.7. Because shut up, I don't need a number seven. Also just finished saving the last chapter of arc one onto my Word File. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 See, I get what you're saying, and I DO keep my stuff on a flash drive.But my flash drive was also in my laptop case, inside my room :T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DL Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 your flashdrive does not need to be near your laptop I love my flashdrive, and for a good amount of time it´s how I tranported my chapters from my house to the cyber cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
