Mysty Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 [quote name='Haou Devil 12' timestamp='1303079368' post='5146636'] Hey, Mystery. If you want to rewrite the whole story, why not just copy and paste from old story and add in some descriptive changes? I know you might not find it in the first 5 or 6 pages in the Fan Fic section, but it couldn't hurt to keep looking. Just look for the title that I think was "My First Yugioh Fan Fic: Evolution of a Duelist". [/quote] I have my entire pre-write saved on my computer in a microsoft Word document and I would basically do just that with the chapters I want to keep the same. However, most of this stuff isn't exactly a re-write; it's more like a different version. Ever watch the newer The Karate Kid movie compared to the 1980's The Karate Kid movie? I'm trying to do something like that - keep the basic structure and a few parts the same, but remix much of the storyline to keep things interesting.

Mysty Posted April 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Got tired of waiting, posted Chapter 7 anyway. Probably a lot of errors, but I'll fix them if you point them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haou Devil 12 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Well, it didn't have a duel, but at least we get to see John and Kim meet each other. Nice Chapter. Also an off-topic question. In Easter Epiphany, you made Kim a person who completely relies on the Dark Deck. I'm just wondering about what kind of Deck you use since you mostly kept talking about Light and Darkness in your second book. Do you use an Archlord Deck, an Archfiend Deck, a Lightsworn Deck, a Dark Counterpart Deck, or a little of both meaning a Malefic Deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I actually don't play the card game anymore since the recent banlist and meta just ruined it for me. Now I just play WC10 occasionally. My favorite deck that I had IRL was Aliens, actually. I just loved how the reptile-type archetypes (particularly Aliens) focused more on manipulating and weakening the opponent's monsters as opposed to powering themselves up. I admit that my re-write of my trilogy will be much more focused on light and dark, but I'll still keep my original themes and giving off a lesson. Anyway, I should probably work on the duel as soon as possible. I pretty much have to re-write it since I remade the Easter Egg cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haou Devil 12 Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Nice Chapter, Mystery. Call me old-fashioned, but I like the old effects of your Easter Eggs. Anyways, a month ago, I finished the two chapters with Kim and the gang in my Fan Fic and I've already been working on 6 new chapters at the same time these past 2 weeks. I hope you can check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the ones that gave card advantage felt way too powerful with the EESH and even made a powerful draw engine. To be honest, it still feels like a rather powerful draw engine, but I feel like I nerfed them enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haou Devil 12 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 The Dark Counterpart Deck does it again. Good chapter. Has the Dark Deck ever won any YGO Tournaments lately? I plan on getting that Deck when the time comes. Even though that Deck is really beast, I'm still a Koa'ki Meiru fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't think any of the decks in my fanfics in my history of fanfics would win current tournaments. The current decks are too powerful for anything 'nonmeta' to even have a chance. If the only archetypes were the ones in my fanfics, maybe Dark Counterparts would be the top. However, since the game has accelerated to a much faster pace than that deck's pace, any of the decks would be rather horrible. I was a fan of Koa'ki Meiru until they came to the TCG and became high money cards. Otherwise I definitely I would have made a Rock/Beast-warrior Koa'ki Meiru deck.

Haou Devil 12 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm more of a Warrior/Beast-type Koa'ki Meiru user, but I'm usually duelist that works with every type.I'm more of a Warrior/Beast-type Koa'ki Meiru user, but I'm usually duelist that works with every type.

FrogNinga Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi guys sorry I've been gone for so long I mean sheesh 2-5 months or something. I've been really busy but I have all intent to continue soon. Off that topic. I don't know if this is right to say but, I'm kinda glad to see you re-writing your old fic. I don't know if thats a little weird to say but it reminds me of good times. I will read all of your chapters as soon as possible. Anyway into your conversation, my favourite deck is BlackWings but I stopped using them because they limited Kalut and that was my main stratagy, so now I mainly use Frogs and RFP decks.

Haou Devil 12 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Though the duel was really short, at least we get to see how Chris turned over to the dark side (not a star wars joke). Nice chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I won't be online next week, so I'll try (and most likely fail) to get the new chapter up by Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysty Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Surprisingly, I was able to get through this chapter very quickly. Maybe I should have explained a bit more about the dea, but I'll have him talk more about it in a future chapter. After all, what fun would it be to explain the entire plot on Chapter 11?

You have to choose which type of archetypes go together and come up with strategies that combine both of them. Even though it's interesting and genius, it takes a lot out of you.

It was mostly Kim dueling, but great none the less. [/quote] That was mostly the point. The point was to show that: • John's deck isn't invincible and has design issues, and he would have lost if Kim didn't win. • Kim is a great duelist and will probably be very important in the story.

Mysty Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 With the start of a new chapter in my life, I have decided a name change is appropriate. Also, since my new schedule is really busy, it will be REALLY tough for me to write. I may just start Emprise of a Savior, since I know my old, hardcore fan(s) has been waiting for it for a while. Hopefully it will be easier to write new material. However, I wouldn't be surprised if my days of fanfic-writing are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
