Agro Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 [quote name='Verz Bahamut' timestamp='1323483326' post='5698233'] We major concern with a story told from one-person is that how do you write a chapter... that doesn't involve the first person? I have read the first three books of the Spook's series which are in first person, and the action just constantly follows the main character without being able to divert to what any of the others are doing meanwhile? It works in that instance, but in a YGO fic where there are likely to be many characters, and where the same guy doing all the duelling would get really boring (I'm looking at you Yuma!) (Although to be fair it looks like the current run is set to go three Yuma-less duels since Kaito must be getting some focus in ep 35, but what's the point when no-one will sub the bloody thing!?) (Rant spilling into every thread I post in.) [/quote]You do it by writing [i]One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest[/i]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yeah, we're on page 2... not good. So I think we need to figure out a way to advertise the Fic section to get more users to write, read, and review. Cause it's as dead as Herman Cain's presidential campaign and no one is even in this group meant to get something going.

Yeah I thought the fic section had picked up this last week, but not massively. There is Opal's xmas story shuffle thing that promotes writing, even if it is in general. Guess for some people have been knocked before and give up, as writing a good fic takes too much time/effort. I'm really struggling to get in the mood to write anymore.

IceDorago Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 As I said in a status, I'm trying to write a chapter of a Vanguard fic. I'll see how writing chapter 1 works out, but it seems to be going much more smoothly than my writing of YGO stuff. If I do write this, should I put it up here, considering pretty much everything in the Fan Fic section is YGO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm in full duel writing mode as some may know. Planned a tag duel that happens early in next fic, and currently planning... a turbo duel... Have discovered a slight problem with characters in said duel, as neither are using archtypes. So there are 26 (so far) monsters that could viably turn up in the main characters deck! Plus I'll want to get in more new cards from Galactic Overlord onwards (ie pencilled in Overlay Owl). This sucks for two reasons... 1) I want the two leads, despite not having archtypes, to have monsters synonymous with them (i.e. Yusei had Speed Warrior, Junk Synchron, Debris Dragon that crop up very regularly) and 2) I don't have the Yusei excuse of editing deck during long time gaps, as I will not have such time gaps.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Finally finished writing another duel... took a lot bloody longer than it should have. Reason I struggled was wanting to show off some effects to the fullest, and nearly dragging out duel too much to show them off, yet at the same time wanting to hold certain cards and combos back for later in the fic. Weird Will start on writing Chapter 2 tomorrow, hopefully have a load more done by the end of the month/year. Oh, and guys...
