... there's a beautiful thing about this website that I call "notifications".

Combined with the quality known as "patience", you'll get used to the long time it takes for the release of chapters.

I like how useless my statement a while ago was...

 

EDIT: Oh, I get it now.

People mostly seem to care about the screen time or they complain about waiting for chapters or both.

That's just... awful.

S I can be notified every time a new post pops up here or just when it's updated?

actual question *does not understand facebook format*

Only notifications I get is when a person invites me and the rest of YCM to another thread I don't care about

 

Anyways, Fusion, just start thinking the opposite of what you want to happen.

Like chapter thirty. "I think it'll be up in a few days" and then it comes out the next day.

Does not want amazing fic to end.

I could see this somehow turning into a bleach like thing.

After you think you want to end it after the main plot BAM five more seasons

[Desu the Blue Nerd]

Hey Cortez. You're going to tell me with a straight face that not only have you writen something but had every single little detail planned out and didn't change any of it?

 

And I'm sure Denver will end it when he said he will. He planned this out after all. Wait...

[Fusion X. Denver]

Cortez has a valid point and I get what he means. But I don't think you need to worry, at this point, there's not a whole lot of room to get sidetracked.

Like right now, I'm just about at the initiation of the main event. If I end up doing more plot lines, they'll be through one-shots, which I'm really looking forward to.

@Chase-If you scroll to the top of the page, there's a watch topic button. Click it and it will list options on how you want to be notified.

 

General note: I'm actually flying to Switzerland for spring break next week on Thursday to Cortez's. I'll be gone until the 29th. So what I WANT to do is get 31 out before then and maybe some bios. I decided to screw the whole releasing in appearance order thing, I'll add the bios of my active readers first, then to others that I know have at least checked this thread out, then to everyone else.

 

One probably stupid question: Can laptops be used on planes so long as they don't try to use Internet, or not at all?

I'm gonna have nothing to do for 5 hours, I'd love to try writing 32 at least, but...

[BlackSkullCortez]

@ Desperado

*sigh* Ah, how naive society has become. I love how you immediately make a hyperbole of what I said.

I'm saying that the author of a writing should at least have a clear vision of what he/she has to do until the end of the FF, not just the ending point. In my personal opinion, for organizational purposes, the author needs a few major points, which are the beginning, the sources of rising suspense, and the conclusion. Not only that, but the author needs at least moderately specific ideas to fill in the gaps, without getting new ideas from reviewers as often as Fusion is getting them. It's okay if they make minor adjustments if they learn something doesn't work, but if I know Fusion as a person, as a mind, and as an entity in general, he knows what his basic outline is and it will definitely work without influence of others.

Which is the main source of my problem. At this point, I know as a fact, and he knows it, too, and he knew it at the beginning but forgot about it, he can handle it without crowd pleasure, which seems to be what he's going for now.

 

@ Chase

Yeah. I don't know how to set it that way, since it was like that ever since the format changed for me.

I'll try to figure out and edit it into this post.

 

EDIT: Fusion, if you couldn't use laptops on planes, I would die.

The thing is, they don't have a connection to any source of wi-fi, since they already have countermeasures to automatic connection settings on laptops. So you can't use internet because it can't connect, but just like Flight Mode on Cell Phones, it will work normally anyway. Just turn it off when they tell you to.

[Fusion X. Denver]

When would they tell me to? When we're taking off?

Mid-flight?

Landing?

.-.

[BlackSkullCortez]

Fusion, this is the thing.

You will hear them say, "Please turn off all of your electronics" when you must turn everything off.

Then, when you can turn everything on (I haven't flown on Continental for a while, so this might be inaccurate), you have 1 of 3 options.

1. When the captain says you can turn things on as long as they're on Flight Mode or whatever, you may do so.

2. If there's a beep and a person around you starts doing so, then do so, and if you feel uncomfortable with that option, if you have the confidence, ask the person sitting next to you if he's awake. If the guy next to you speaks a foreign language, then ask another nearby awake person.

3. Wait for the Interactive Option on the plane screens to turn on. That's much after you can turn electronics on, but it's the safest course of action.

*Looks down.* Uhuh.

If they have an ending point you'd think they have a way to get there. And I don't recall saying anything about nothing. Ahem. "Every single little detail." I never said absolutely nothing was needed but a beginning and end and see how things go from there. Only that every single thing most likely wouldn't stay the same since when you first thought of it and that that you might not have every detail in place.

It's okay if they make minor adjustments if they learn something doesn't work,

:/

but if I know Fusion as a person, as a mind, and as an entity in general, he knows what his basic outline is and it will definitely work without influence of others.

I can't really comment here.

Seemingly.

[Sploda]

All I have to say is, I only complain about no release when I'm told there will be a release at that point.

 

No Schedule = No complaints.

 

Also I guess my character is story-relevant since I get more screen time than I think I honestly should.

[Enma Kozato]

@fusion

There is a very useful feature most laptops have

Airplane mode. Look into it.

You will need this on, otherwise your laptop will auto search for an access point

saves battery life too

 

And thanks for the notificationinism thing

[BlackSkullCortez]

@ Chase

It can't connect anyway, so it doesn't really do anything.

 

@ Desperado

... what?

I basically say the same thing, except with different wording. And no, you don't just get an ending and know how you get there instantly.

It might just be me and my complicated FF that'll be over 1000 pages that makes me think this way, but this is the thing.

You open a book, read the prologue and the first chapter, and then read the last chapter.

You don't get the main events in the middle too well from reading that last chapter.

That being said, you can't get through writing the book even without at least a moderately clear vision of what's in the middle.

And a clear vision isn't the same thing as every single detail. What I mean is that you have to clearly think, just as an example, "Here there will be a fight between X and Y."

Now, my problem is that everything should stay in the same place simple event-wise because he shouldn't be changing things too much. If he is, it's because he later realizes he missed something which he noticed because he was looking at it in more detail... but if you add much more because of ideas that come from your readers from guessing, that does act as a problem, because then if you get those ideas, you'll have to take out the fight between X and Y and include a Z, therefore changing the whole course of action within the rest of the story.

I'll just drop it before I continue, because this isn't really worth arguing over much more.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Creator, I'll be frank, you just kinda evolved into a main character without me realizing it.

I never really thought ahead with main characters when I started this, but I had the vague idea people like Black and Cortez would have huger roles than they turned out to. Ironically, they're more minor than characters like Creator and Xazeon, though I'm hoping to change that soon.

It just kinda happened. You were fun to write with I guess.

[Sploda]

*Imagines a Creator Pen being used*

 

lol

 

I always expect a minor role, having a main role is surprising to me.

I'll be honest. I think we're completely misunderstanding eachother here so ending it would be the best idea.

I'm just suprised to have a part at all, was completely floored when I saw that Lora had been added in too

[Shadow Zero]

Creator, I'll be frank, you just kinda evolved into a main character without me realizing it.

Wait a second. I thought that your name was Fusion though? xD

[Fusion X. Denver]

I said A, not THE.

Lolz

[Sploda]

I said A, not THE.

Lolz

He was trying to make a joke off of you saying "I'll be frank". He is implying that you called yourself frank.

 

Fact of the matter is, it wasn't funny. Not even amusing. It was stupid.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Oh.

Now I see.

Read that differently at midnight.

@Shadow-Shhhhh.

[Shadow Zero]

No, I will not be shushed. Not until there is another chapter for me to read,and even then my being shushed will only be temporary. :P

 

Speaking of, how is chapter 31 coming along anyway?

[Fusion X. Denver]

Got two scenes in, I'll hopefully get some done in between classes tomorrow.

I'm going to try my best to get it out before Thursday night, since that's when I leave for Switzerland until the 29th. And hopefully while I'm on the plane, I can get 32 done (no guarantee, might fall asleep) and maybe release it while I'm away.

[Shadow Zero]

Will you still have internet capabilities in Switzerland?

[Fusion X. Denver]

I'll be at Cortez's house.

That means yes.

 

Oh yeah guys, inspiration just came to me.

I wrote a prologue to the entire story, check the first post.

[Limited Edition KING]

Interesting prologue Fusion. Will we ever find out who the boy and the man is or are we just going to leave it as a guess?

[Fusion X. Denver]

You'll find out.

You guys can probably take a few guesses now if you want, but I'll give no reply to avoid giving spoilers.

[Shadow Zero]

Interesting prologue. I have a couple of guesses as to who it could have been, but I think I'll keep them to myself for now.
