Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Ok, props for whoever wants them. 1 - An old sword, which is broken (not specified broken in what way) 2 - A shop (again, I'm not specifing any kind of shop, up to you) 3 - One character must have a tattoo, of any design, that must be significant in some way. Look forward to seeing any short story that anyone can come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'm thinking about writing a Yu-Gi-Oh! fic. I will still continue the Anecdote if only it gets some reviews/comments, though. I've got the story and everything for the YGO fic, but coming up with a main character and a deck for him/her is a major pain in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 This one's different, I think. I had started writing a plot for a continuation of 5D's, but I find myself not liking the anime followups, even if it is creative, because it doesn't quite feel like I'd like it to. However, with this one, the new plot, it's based upon an ancient civilization (before the Shadow Games, before the 10,000 B.C. Nazca Lines rumored civilization, etc.), who essentially were the ones responsible for creating the game of Duel Monsters. It's a neat plot concept that does need some tweaking, but I've been working quite a bit on the prologue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I use it in my current RP, Music for a Forgotten Future, that the original creators were the Muans of Mu. I now know that my protagonist will play a multi-theme Deck like Yusei with at least 2 complete LV lines in it and some Exceeds. The legendary cards of the fic will be two Rank 8 Exceeds. The rival will use a Warrior Deck based around Ritual monsters. At least to begin with, there won't be any Duel Disks. The characters will instead duel on tables that work somewhat like the [url=http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_Box]boxes[/url] from the manga instead.

I gave a shout-out/plug to Saber's Fic in the post, it provided a lot of inspiration for writing this. If you guys could check it out, I'd be glad to do the same (review others), no problem! I'd like to get some thoughts on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 [quote name='Aesirson' timestamp='1302625130' post='5133231'] I just realized I need a name for my protagonist -.- I was thinking Aaron or Ryuki, but I dunno. [/quote] Location plays a part. I know Saber has his set in our world 'mostly in Japan' as well as the virtual cpu world. So his names are, of course, mostly Japanese. Mine is based in a fantasy world, so I've just pulled names from lots of different cultures for variety, names that try to connect with each guys personality. Sometimes you don't have to give characters 'proper' names. Like two of my bad guys, the half mechanical Karakuri user, 'Gear', and the flame haired Flamvell user 'Raesir', which comes from the Icelandic and roughly means 'firestarter'. Which is cool since Iceland is a volcano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 In a made up city in a made up place, like Heartlands (ZEXAL), so the names will be pulled from everywhere. Main character is called Ryuki and the rival is named Aidan (after Áedán mac Gabráin, an old Scottish king) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't de too discouraged if (s?)he rips the crap out of it, Crab does it to everyones fics. Except me, because only two people appear to read mine. Speaking of, nearly finished the second arc of mine, so would love it if someone could review the arc as a whole if they're still reading it, or if you haven't started yet it may be worth your time.

And a lot of what he pointed out was completely logical, to be honest. I went back and made a bunch of changes to the first episode to make it more grammatically (and sensibly) correct.

Headmaster Monokuma Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 [b]Your Excerpt:[/b] I've put my excerpt at the bottom of this post, as I haven't actually posted it here on YCM. [b]Your Favorite Color: [/b] Silver [b]Your Preferred Title:[/b] Halla's Salesman [b]Your Status:[/b] Reviewer, soon to be author. Journal of a Minecraftian [spoiler=Entry One Excerpt] From what I’ve found, I was riding a ship to some land, when something happened. Whatever this was, it caused the ship to either not maneuver in time, or to steer off course. Either way, the ship crashed, and now I’m hiding in this dank cave... Anyway, I was lucky enough to be able to salvage a few items from the wreck, the first three being books. One was entitled [i]The Way to Build Everything You Will Ever Need[/i] by Mr. B. Builder, which was the first one I grabbed. I don’t see why not, since I’ll need it if I can’t find civilization. The second was called [i]Hope for a Way Out[/i] and from what I’ve read, it’s basically a book about mining and escaping caves... Why there would be a book like this on a boat I have no idea, but I’m not complaining. The last book was the one I’m writing in right now. It was a simple journal, but I’m glad it was there. This should help me stay sane... And if anyone else winds up here, hopefully it will help them. These three books were washed up next to me, so I’m not sure if they were mine or not. From there, I explored the beach where I washed up, and I was amazed at the sight. The ocean went on far past the border of the horizon, but what struck me was the giant mountain that protruded from the bottom of the ocean. The base was wide, as one would expect, but instead of tapering to a point, the mountain had taken up a hourglass shape. Even though it had to be miles away from me, I could see it with my bare eyes. This was, without a doubt, a place I would have to see closer... But I had other things on my mind at the time, such as finding the ship I had to have taken to get there. I wandered the beach for maybe about an hour, then I saw it. Sticking out of the sand was a small boat, built out of planks of wood. I salvaged the planks that had survived the storm, and took a few that were pretty much just sticks now, and continued to look around. About twenty feet from the ship I found a small chest that contained about five loafs of bread and ten cooked pork-chops. All the food seemed well-preserved, so I drug the chest and the planks back to where I washed up... [/spoiler] No, that isn't the whole chapter.

Umbra Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Lately, I've been busy with a musical at my school, and thusly haven't been able to work at all on The Dark Doorway. I know you guys are all excited to see the conclusion of the current arc, but... no, actually, I don't. I have no way of nothing whether or not you are interested, or anyone else for that matter. There are at least two chapters on there that, as far as I know, have neither been commented on or even read. Just a single comment would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Have read the latest (or in one case opening) chapter of four fics today so far. Dead Zone by Epic (up to C39) - Are there any superlatives that haven't been used yet? Rolling Girl by Clair (up to C3) - Just a light hearted fun read, not gripping can't look away from the screen stuff, but cheery way to fill 10 minutes Dark Doorway by Umbra (up to C8) - Finding it a bit hard to follow and losing track of who some characters are (which I don't seem to suffer from with DZ, hmmm) but it is engrossing dark stuff. Maybe moving a little too slowly now. Untitled Fiction by Dark (First Chapter) - Strange fiction about everyday college student whose life is threatening to get... less everyday (but who knows how yet?) Bit underwhelmed, hopefully Chapt 2 will see it pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Well, you've had an additional thirty-one chapters of material to work with in DZ, so it's not that strange. Noted nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noted nonetheless. [/quote] Dunno what threw me... think it was the part in chapter 8 (which is where I'm up to, which is why I'm commenting here, to avoid spoilers) where Elvira is getting dropped of by her uncle, there was a turn of phrase that made me think Karen and Elvira were in different years, and got confused. That and the sparing references to Ms. Bell (I think that was Jonah's landlady) couldn't remember if she was someone important or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Oh, I see where you're coming from. You're getting Karen and Melanie mixed up - considering they've had pretty much all of their content together, it's understandable. I'll look over that section. Once this arc is over, to fill the void between the two there will be two bonus chapters: A longer Chronicle, that tells the backstory of some characters introduced in this arc, and an shorter Interlude that connects the arcs. She'll be in the first Chronicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
