Fusion X. Denver Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Ah hey, DEF talk. Jake, I checked your excerpt. Not too bad considering it wasn't proofread, but I think Broken makes one point that you got to watch out for: this fic is borrowing from animeland I got the feeling I was supposed to be "watching" this instead of reading it since it's something that'd make sense in an anime, but it might not translate well here in written text. This way, it feels kind of unnatural/forced. Also died at this part Oh yes, that’s it. Just a few more inches to go come on girl you can do it. Did I really abuse the "anime-esque" logic a lot? I know the nanobot power-up sh*t and the TTGL Banhammer was pushing it, but I thought things were halfway reasonable until that point. ... Actually, all those Tower of Any Other fights were like that, now that I think about it. Yeah, just be careful of that Jake. That, and the switching tenses.

Jake the Sage Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Jake, I feel like you wouldn't be taking this much flak from everyone if you just posted what you have now =/ Not gonna happen If you keep posting only excerpts, you're only going to draw in attention without solving any of the tension That was exactly why I didn't want to post anything to begin with, but everyone kept claiming I wasn't working on this so I finally caved in and showed you all something. And like hungry jackals you tore it apart and didn't now want more. You shall get NO MORE Until I Am Finished!!! Seriously, stop asking. I will be done when I am done. By waiting even longer, you're only building up more and more suspense, and I'm seriously worried you might not be able to deliver Again, just please wait. Ah hey, DEF talk. Jake, I checked your excerpt. Not too bad considering it wasn't proofread, but I think Broken makes one point that you got to watch out for: I got the feeling I was supposed to be "watching" this instead of reading it Surprisingly I want to make this (and the original DEF) into an anime so badly, since I think it'd be fun to watch, but I lack the resources to do so Did I really abuse the "anime-esque" logic a lot? I know the nanobot power-up sh*t and the TTGL Banhammer was pushing it, but I thought things were halfway reasonable until that point. ... Actually, all those Tower of Any Other fights were like that, now that I think about it. A lot of Trio of DEF, if I'll be honest, was kind of far fetched when you think about it an very anime-esque. You have the parents who let their children go to JAPAN without stopping them. A world where a megalomaniac threatens the world and the military don't lift a finger. A special unexplained chemical/mineral/substance that can inexplicably make people stronger, make inorganic things grow, and heal any wound. So we're both kind of dipping into anime-land quite a bit. Yeah, just be careful of that Jake. That, and the switching tenses. But yeah, I'll try to avoid going too far into it. As for the switching tenses- why I am having it beta read (^^)b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headmaster Monokuma Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 All of this talk about DEF reminded me of when I actually used to do shit. I was making Advanced Wars stuff, character profiles and shit for everyone and I had a one-shot going on in my spare time. I wonder if that shit is still on my comp.

I haven't role played here for ages and only now managed to get back into at least one role play here. I posted in tons of clubs and it seemed like there was a new situation going on every week to keep us excited and entertained, like a live action sitcom or, lets face it, DEF real-time. Yet now everything has slowed down. I'm here running the Hotel and posting in a single role play. If you still have that stuff on your computer please post it. It'll be fun to see all of that.

Thar Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 [quote]this fic is borrowing from animeland[/quote] It's funny how Broken said this, considering that in HEART BREAKERS he mentioned something in Neph's fic that sort of backhands it: [quote]It has a Japanese name, but uses NOTHING from animeland.[/quote] It justs seems a bit hypocritical, but then again they both just might be relative.

The Warden Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 See Thar, it's all about the context. Using a Japanese name, for the irresolute sake of using a Japanese name is incredibly annoying and stupid. Getting your ass ran down by stampeding females and surviving only with minor twitching is anime-esque... despite being derived from earlier British comedy, but such a thing was taken over. To put it simply, there's an inherent difference between having a Japanese name for no apparant reason, and using anime cliche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 To put it simply, there's an inherent difference between having a Japanese name for no apparent reason, and using anime cliche. I see. That's also good to know, because I was planning on writing a fic using an anime-esque style, but I hesitated because it would prove to be unfitting. If I had the patience to make a manga out of it, I would, but making a one-shot manga doesn't really fit the tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 See Thar, it's all about the context. Using a Japanese name, for the irresolute sake of using a Japanese name is incredibly annoying and stupid. Okay that I can agree with. Getting your ass ran down by stampeding females and surviving only with minor twitching is anime-esque... despite being derived from earlier British comedy, but such a thing was taken over. To put it simply, there's an inherent difference between having a Japanese name for no apparent reason, and using anime cliche. Cliche yes, but still funny. I did it because simply having the girls walk down onto the beach would've been boring and there hadn't been any comedy in the chapter yet. Plus, kids always go running onto the beach while the parents sit back and watch . . . at least in my experience that has always happened. [hr] New topic: Has anyone ever watched Death Battle?

Sploda Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Everything Creator does would qualify as "anime-esque" Including his bromance with Deus The only way a bromance would ever occur there is if he somehow managed to kill you, Jake, Nexev, and Striker with a single action. and proof it. As for everything else...well I like to make my dreams come true, what can I say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still hate me, don't you? And do you know how hard that is? I mean, the most I've seen anyone kill on a consistent basis is 2. Maybe 3, but 2 is the most common.

Jake the Sage Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 You know, now that I think about it, Creator just probably wants to kill me just because . . . he wants to try and kill me. I don't think he needs some big reason beyond, "I was bored." Am I right Creator? And, again, has anyone ever watched Death Battle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade you the Ultima for it . . . and by 'it' I mean my left sock. No way in Hell you're getting the Hotel with all of its dirty little secrets.

Death Battle is easily one of the most effective conversation topics to get people nice and mad. I actually thought Lion-O would win this coming into the battle but, per usual, I didn't know who'd win come the analysis of the characters. I'll admit it was kind of funny when Lion-O had Battle Cat attack He-Man. As for Goku vs. Superman, yeah I wanted Goku to win but I was more than happy seeing the thing actually be done.

No thank you, I'd rather use a type writer and a radio dish made out of a used can and a recycled coat hanger. Nah I'm just kidding, lol. Dell has been good to me.
