You could make the result so horrendous in either way that the Hero just decides a loss is good enough and let's whatever bad thing happen. <<(Cause no one ever does that. EVER.)[/quote] I've actually been considering doing that sometime. Have the hero let the world get taken over or something of that sort either by depression/being discouraged or by having one of those situations where the hero has to make a choice between letting evil win or making a huge sacrifice, and decides it's not worth it.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Dante: Murder mystery would be awesome, as long as you can make it a many tangled web with many suspects (say like any good Poirot/Marple story. Yeah I know in Poirot it always turns out to be the one most prominant character who was most above suspision throughout, but still). Umbra: I must try a Pyrrhic victory sometime. I'm actually writing the final ever chapter of Armageddon right now, so do have the opportunity to make it disasterous... I'm loving doing this chapter as I get to play on a lot of emotions that usually can't be attached to most duelists in YGO, and the build up is getting really tense and foreboding, and hopefully will build up mood really successfully. It may end up as a two parter, dunno if that would be appropriate but might really rake up the tension in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umbra Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think you're sort of past that point with Armageddon by now. The ideal point would've been during their entrance into Glamisry, and having everyone except Juruo and/or someone else be the only one that makes it out alive.

[/quote] Ssh, the others might buy it and think everyone's in real jeopardy. Well they are going to be in a little jeopardy, but it would be kinda flat if they were all killed now. Would ensure no Armageddon 2 though Can't wait to publish these last two chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synchronized Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Sorry guys, I was extremely inactive this past weekend so I didn't get a chance to catch up on much. I'm going to take a look and see if anyone posted links to reviews and the likes so I can see how that contest went, though I'm assuming it didn't do as well as I'd hoped it would. I did get a chance to post Episode 21 today, which means one more episode until the end of the arc, and I've got some awesome ideas and plotlines for the next one. Should be good for anyone that's had a chance to read it, and if not, maybe in your spare time you could check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Because there was the seven-day downtime between posts, this place kinda fell off my radar. I had a review done, but I'll try to get s'more done if the contest's still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I will not let this get past Page 2! RAWR! Anyways, things are actually working quite well for my story. I'm already done with the first Chapter and hope to have the second one done in a couple more days, provided there aren't any more distractions that need attention right now (like that leak in the ceiling(is totally kidding)).

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Not that I entered, but any update on the contest Star? Been working all weekend writing last little bit of Armageddon, suffering burn out with just a little bit to do. Hopefully Dead Zone (its finally updated) will get me back in the mood. Hooray for looking forward to reading something good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've been abandoned it seems. Anyway, to pick up on what other people have said, I think there should be an archive for the top fics put in place. I finished Armageddon in mid-September in terms of story proper, but went back to it over the last week to post a few little 'aftermath' chapters to finish a few things off. During the last week, I have had two new readers post in the thread, and one by PM, saying that they started reading it and are enjoying it. So yeah... sems logical.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Obviously I don't know YCMaker. I don't know if he actually makes any money from the adverts on this site or anything or if he gets anything out of it. But if he's got to much on to commit to managing this site, he really should appoint a third administrator to keep these things in check. If he doesn't look interested in his own site (and I could understand after so long if it has waned) then why should others stay? I dunno I'm just speculating, I repeat I dunno what his situation is so I don't want to bash him because he does provide a fine site and there is a fine community here. It just needs oiling in places. Update on Armageddon: Only got 2/3 pages left to write, so will update tomorrow regardless of whether spoilers are fixed.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Well my break from writing isn't exactly lasting very long. Currently doing some 'light' character planning for next fic. Approx 22 characters confirmed, along with 29 decks that will appear throughout. Struggling a little bit with managing the time and order of events which is going to be so important, and really need to have a crash course in learning about Japan. Also watching the TV series on which the fic is based might help >_> ...22:00... 22:00... 22:00... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(making sure I typed that EXACTLY right xD) cause after a while they all seem to blend together. I feel if I start reading I'll never finish my own because 1. I'm reading instead of writing, and 2. I'll get bored of Yu-Gi-Oh! stories in general and just drop my fic. I at least want to finish book 1 (I'm doing this whole thing in parts fyi, book 1 ends when ------------------(this part has been deleted because of spoilers)------------------- and that's why bananas should be eaten by snapping them in half).

IceDorago Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yeah, I think my main problem with fics is that I just don't do enough planning, so therefore I rush through things and everything gets mixed up and I can't be bothered going forward with anything.
