Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Also, if anyone has any suggestions on how to write horror books more efficiently, I will forever have my gratitude and may eventually start my Final Fantasy Fan-Fic again. I'm not looking for like (and excuse me, there is a mod here), not so much the s**t in your pants horror, but the more eerie, creepy, kind of like biting your nails horror. If anyone has some books with that same setting that I can reference to, I'll rep/like them, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 [quote name='Kyubey' timestamp='1316902315' post='5537818'] Alright then! :'D Anyways, I have a story idea (tentatively titled "Bookstore"), but before I spill any more specifics, I'd like an opinion on setting. Imho, all manga can be divided into either modern Japan settings or schizo-modern European-esque fantasy. I'm equally capable of doing either one, but which, as a reader, would you rather? [/quote] Depends on what kind of adventure you want to write, thus what kind of bookstore, thus what kind of city. Old European esque with grand old designs of buildings does lend itself to magic and mystery (like say the Da Vinci Code). Modern Japan for fast paced action stuff. Just my opinion. [quote name='Dante v. Nero' timestamp='1316911746' post='5538254'] Well, since this IS a club about writers and reading and proofreading and other such nonsense, I would actually feel a lot more comfortable posting the prologue of my new story up here than just give up halfway through my story, like on my last one because I was short of readers. You can probably tell that I am anxious to show off my work. Anyway, if y'all want to read this epicness, here it is.................son. (My lolfail attempt at being gangster) [/quote] So it's a fight club - for duel monsters. I do love YGO tournaments in the anime, even though they are predictable in that the protagonists will win until they run into lead protagonist usually. If you can do it without an obvious lead character, so all the matches could be won by anyone, it might be good. More detail in terms of the character, the history and the world this is set in that has grown around and surpassed this Underground arena would be good though, although this is just a prologue.

Umbra Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I've had this idea buzzing around in the back of my head, an idea that I'd like to share. Basically, it's the Jungle Book as written by H.P. Lovecraft. Modern day. The animals are humans, and Mowgli's a halfbreed between a human and some dark, twisted being. (Those of you who have read the Dark Tower series in its entirety can think Mordred.) Kid's found in the middle of the street, ends up with single dad and meets all sorts of people. Soon enough, we find out that there's something [i]utterly[/i] wrong with him. Dad wants to keep him, but certain others (who claim to see this "darkness", this "taint") say that he should be disposed of. Would this work?

Synchronized Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Just to let everyone know - I've updated the main post some more, but I still need to add more of you. I'm just having a little trouble finding some time after an extremely busy weekend. By the end of the night we should be all caught up, and I'll try to respond to some of the posts, too! :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 So a funny thing happened this morning. There was a new topic that I noticed in the New Topic Sections that appeared two days ago, and it was a whole line of mumbo-jumbo, but I think the gist of it was "It's a MineCraft Fan-Fiction". I think to myself, "oh wonderful, there's a new topic in the Fan-Fiction section that so desperately wants a review!" However, when I got there, I realized that this was going to be the most painful day that I would ever have to live through. The reason? Well, there's two actually. The first one is that the OP did not even bother to read the rules, as his entire Fan-Fiction was nothing more than a screenplay. That's right. A SCREENPLAY! Now, being the [s]gentle[/s] [s]nice[/s] [s]wondrous[/s] [s]talented[/s] [s]square[/s] amazing (I'll settle for that) man that I am, I simply flash this [quote] SCRIPTS/SCREENPLAYS [i]Alice: Hey, Bob! What's up?[/i] [i]Bob: Nothing special, Alice.[/i] Fics written like this are forbidden, for they show little to no description of the setting and characters. However, full-blown theatrical screenplays with stage directions and all are allowed, provided they could theoretically be given to two random people on the street and be acted out without any confusion.[/quote] and, with the most amount of rhetoric that anyone could ever gather in their tiny little fingers, responded "really?". Knowing that my work was done, I posted a few cards in the Written Cards Section which had qualities of them being "Plot Device" cards. And then I went to bed. I dreamt for the entire night, however, I was constantly shivering and crawling under the covers because I am the idiot that left my window open. As consequence, I was forced to sleep in 50 degree (Farenheit) temperatures. Okay, fine. Today is Sunday, I don't have much to do. So I look on the Fan-Fic section again and notice that the Minecraft Fan-Fiction that I posted in had been bumped up. Apparently, while I was sleeping and dreaming during the wee hours of the night, the OP had carried on a, rather ambiguous and stubborn conversation with another fellow Fan-Fic poster (or just a regular member, I'm not sure) about how he was going to edit his post to "have good detail and be the best screenplay ever" or some other things that I can't remember. I finally figured out who the other member was that was sticking up for the rules (and me), and it was the infamous John A. Zoidberg. I think it was the second post that finally did it for him, as John A. Zoidberg then proceeded to report the OP for disobeying the rules. But it gets better. The OP apparently can't get it through his thick skull that Screenplays are 100% not allowed. So he says that he would be willing to "fix it if he got a better explanation on how to fix it an improve it." This set me off for a number of reasons. One, the OP was being as stubborn as a squid hanging out on the beach during a tornado, for lack of a better analogy. Did he not realize that, for the first ten posts that, Screenplays were forbidden on a FAN-FIC SITE? Two, the actual screenplay itself, which I had not gotten to yet in the length of this post, was filled with stupid, mindless garbage that barely even resembled something of a story. The impression that I got off of it were two dweebs shooting a movie about their adventures through the world of Minecraft, [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdwpgNhIAyg"]like this[/url]. Oh wait, it gets even better, though. Then, the OP responds that he wanted to make this script for people to act out! WHAT?!?!?! No one wants to act out a Minecraft Script. That's why people do it on Youtube all the time! Really? Can the OP get any dumber than he already is right now? He has shown complete disregard of changing his mind and has continually made a fool of himself to two other members, one of them a regular of the Fan-Fic forum. Can this day get any more exciting? Finally, I have had enough of this Screenplay thing, so with rage in my fingertips, I decide to get out my OLD document that is written in Script Format and show everyone how a REAL Screenplay is meant to be played out. I wrote this about a year ago back when I was still in school, and everyone LOVED this piece of work. What better situation to implore it in then right now? [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/263941-minecraft-tales-endermans-worst-nightmare-warning-may-have-very-dramatic-moments-so-if-you-hate-those-dont-read/page__view__findpost__p__5539549"]http://forum.yugiohc...ost__p__5539549[/url] Afterwards, I pretty much summed up that MY screenplay, while most certainly still not allowed on the Fan-Fic Forum, is better because it had halfway decent character development and we are given hints of a plot dealing with one of the other, soon-to-be antagonists. Then I go on to say that HIS screenplay had NONE of those qualities, and all it displayed was a bunch of 2-D characters without any plot or character development running around spouting off nonsensical phrases that you would most commonly find drunkards using. The number one rule when writing a Screenplay, or at least what my Drama Teacher told me when he was teaching us, is that when you are all finished with a scene, go out on the street and ask a random group of people to recite your scene for you. If they can do it with about 70 to 80% accuracy, or more depending on how strict you want to be with your work, then you have written, AT LEAST, a very decent scene. Not over the top, but just enough to get you by. Instead, look at the dialogue that is presented throughout the OP's story. [quote] [color=#000000]Zack the Zombie: Hi Egar guess what we got the same spawn assignment.[/color] [color=#000000][/quote][/color] [color=#000000]No one is going to know who the f*** or what the f*** they are talking about.[/color] [color=#000000][quote][/color] [color=#000000]Egar the Enderman: Wow Carl The Creeper , Sam The Skeleton and Susie The Spider and Her Cousin Cassey The Cave Spider are on that assignment too.

Later however everything started to go horribly wrong HORRIBLY WRONG well just keep reading to see what I mean.(Egar stops cold listening to his friend Susie scream)[/color] [color=#000000][/quote][/color] [color=#000000]So everybody said ALL of this dialogue at the exact same time?

And I am serious this time.[/color] [color=#000000][quote][/color] [color=#000000](For the readers AMKMP is All Mob Killing Moding Player and his mod’s kill and prevent the return of any specific part a of mob.) [/color] [color=#000000][/quote][/color] [color=#000000]WHAT? If some random, sophisticated gentleman were reading this while he was walking to the bank, let's say for the sake of example, he would probably be puking at the sight of this man's deranged writing.[/color] [color=#000000][quote][/color] [color=#000000]Zack:He killed them all and now there is no way to bring them back unless we destroy him in combat but with his mod’s we would be killed almost instantly if we tried to even get in 100 blocks away of his house. We have to despawn before he gets us and destroys us like everyone else he has already destroyed. [/quote][/color] [color=#000000]Again. What?[/color] Yea, I'm stopping there. I can't take any more of this, I thought to myself. Then, I proceed to write a few more pages of my upcoming Fan-Fic (which I think I will post sometime next weekend, if I get the chance). And now, the gist of this long, overly dramatic, and "somewhat" angry post: Kyubey, one of the moderators in the Fan-Fiction forum and Moderator that I highly respect above all, actually LIKED one of my posts. I almost fainted at this marvelous site. A Moderator, the people that I thought would be my arch-rivals coming into this site, had actually liked my post so much that afterwards, Kyubey said that I would get a thousand different loves (if I could turn it into an actual story). But before I had time to explain to the Moderator that my Screenplay was originally a story of its own accord, but was incredibly bad and had lost its focus right after the second chapter, the post was locked. So, here I am now, explaining this overly dramatic day to you. And to Kyubey, to who I could not respond to before the post was locked: "My Screenplay WAS actually a story all on its own, but I thought it was bad, because the plot got lost after the second chapter. Then, that was when I got the idea to make a Screenplay out of it. Then, everyone in my Drama Class praised it." So, the second gist of this incredibly long post: Thank you Kyubey, but your love will have to remain with you and solely you. I feel like if I went back and try to redo this into an actual story, I would throw my hands in the air at the frustration that the challenge presented. Although, I will admit that, if Screenplays of this caliber WERE allowed on this site, then I would gladly go back and post it, because I consider it one of my very best works. Well, that was my crazy day. How about yours? EDIT: Don't know why I haven't added this to my Foe-Fiction yet. Maybe because its not actually a story.

bury the year Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 SO. Seeing as I've gotten no more responses to my earlier setting help request, I've decided to set it in a Euro-inspired world. Here's a quick summation of the plot. [indent=1][i]The belief one has in a book powers it. Literature is the distillation of imagination, the crossroads at which the higher intellect and the basic desire meet. One lives out their fantasies in a book. However, for a few, the opposite case is true as well.[/i] [i][A] is one of these people, a “Reader.” He has the ability to harness the representation of a book and bring it into reality. Therefore, due to his talents, he is hired by a woman to hunt down books of notoriety and return them safely to her, so that they can’t fall into bad hands. He doesn’t object to this, because he gets paid and gets a roof over his head. However, when he encounters a cryptic girl named [B], the ends that [A] has been working for will be questioned for the first time in his life.[/i][/indent] I plan on making this more mystery- and character-driven rather than action-based. There still will be fights, but it won’t be over the top shonen-y stuff. The setting is going to be somewhat turn of the century with Meiji/Taisho influences, and technology will be schizo. Literary and trope references will fly fast and furiously. If you’ve heard of Biblioteca Mystica de Dantalion (which I’ve never seen and only came across in coincidence), this had kinda the same idea, but not as heavily episodic and maybe with some light Nasuverse inspiration. So, feedback. 1) Would anyone be interested in me writing this, first and foremost? 2) Is the idea too trite? If so, any way I could spin it s'more? 3) Should I use real (e.g. Moby Dick) or fictional (no real-world equivalent) books as the items of power?

Yea, it's always great to see another thriller/mysterious story. The last book that I ever read fitting into that category was "The DaVinci Code". 2. I believe it was the mastermind of plays, Shakespeare, that said, "There are only four major plots. The rest are commonplace." It's not that it is particularly cliche, but there's already an idea out there somewhere that follows this same pattern. But, following that, it's okay to be original, and I think with a plot like this, that you might be able to make something great out of this detail. As far as helping out to move along with the plot, since this is character-driven, the characters must be memorable in some way, and character traits make a character interesting and memorable, especially traits that reveal themselves along the way. 3. I believe scandalous, political books would have a better effect, like Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle", which detailed the end of the world when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The book is currently "not sold" (for lack of a better term) in thirty-four states, including my own. Since you mentioned Moby Dick, Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" would be another good example of one of those scandalous books. It details one sailor's journey into Africa during the time of the Belgian Congo, and details the three "stages" of "darkness". It was deemed "politically racist during its time and scandalous for exploiting the dangers of the Belgian Congo during that time." Well, that's all I have.

Umbra Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 A character - or a group of characters, mayhap? - that can bring objects or concepts from books into the real world. I see some dark possibilities right there. What would a terrorist group do if they had the superflu in their arsenal? What if they summoned some Elder God to completely break the world? (That is, if you're using real-world books.) Horror stories in general would have great potential - maybe for an arc or so? In regards to the triteness - which I don't really see, to be honest - think on a larger, sociopolitical spectra. If Readers existed in our world, what would happen? Aforementioned terrorist organizations would definitely be interested, but there's also corporate interests to consider. On the other hand, explore the idea to its full limits: what if the Reader is a five-year-old who's just discovering the language? What if a reader is blind? Depending on their life, how would a Reader that isn't complacent with how society works try to change things? The story has tons of potential. I don't see why you should limit yourself to existing books: Make them up as you need to, but include actual books for reference. You definitely got me interested.

Synchronized Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Definitely an interesting idea. It would be all in how you actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Just posted Episodes 16 & 17 of Hidden Legacy - featuring some well-known GX cameos, in duels as well, and what I believe is the Hidden Legacy debut of the Omni-Heroes. We're just about near the end of this arc, and finally getting all of the characters back together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably spend the whole day tomorrow locked in my room with my music and food, with one goal in mind: GET THAT NEXT CHAPTER DONE! Seriously, I'm so far behind my goal right now. I started "Underground Tyranny" about a month ago, and I have yet to get up to the thrity-page benchmark (three pages a day, which I haven't been doing AT ALL...). So yeah, I probably won't be on tomorrow at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synchronized Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'm in the same boat - I have a 3 page paper due every Monday and plenty of Math homework to keep me busy throughout the week. But I want to continue to make progress on the story so I really need to pick up the pace and start putting out more chapters. It kind of sucks that no one's responding, though. Makes it hard to stay motivated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
