Neuro Fanfics Discussion! [+All stories are at the pinned link!]

[prime solar]

Ah, I'm sorry for not updating here. Things have been a bit disappointing this contest in terms of engagement. There's still only 4 submitted works, and after delaying a couple times, I decided to not end it until we have a minimum of 5.
I also didn't update here because I was under the impression there wasn't interest outside of the main discussion location.

[rose portal]

And we still wait

[prime solar]

WE FINALLY HIT 5 STORIES, i give 3 hours for anybody to tell me they're still finishing a story, if nobosy tells me that, I'll reveal the stories and begin the reading/voting phase

[prime solar]

[rose portal]

19!

@sudden peak Also you wrote dearest Diary?!

Do you know how much time I spent trying to solve the mysteries behind that?!

You evil mastermind

[prime solar]

yeah @sudden peak I had NO IDEA it was you!! There's a bunch of us theorizing and trying to piece together a timeline to figure it out

imo your story was criminally undervoted for Best Story

[sudden peak]

Thank you , I'm glad you had fun reading / pondering over it!

On another note, I've been told you can post fanfics to #1095941852068331560 . I encourage you to minimally post the winning entries into it; it'll reach more people!

I can do it on behalf, if you want

[rose portal]

I don't... Think mine's suitable for the average reader

I had a tiny sus section for comedic purposes which I heavily censored.

But it's still...

I mean technically Shad the prude gave it a pass so...

Mmmm.

[rose portal]

Sure! I could do with more criticism anyway

Would really appreciate that!

[prime solar]

That's a great idea! Someone else was saying I should do that, too.

[prime solar]

Prude??

[prime solar]

wait, really, you'd be up for doing that?

[rose portal]

I mean you refuse to do anything remotely related to R rated stuff.

I mean mine wasn't exactly explicit but it was a little... Sus

[prime solar]

What you posted wasn't even close to explicit

[rose portal]

Really?

[prime solar]

No worries

[rose portal]

I'm like

I censored so much I don't remember what I even put in there

Respectfully. The uncensor was purely for yandere jokes.

The more I spoke the more I feel like I dug a hole.

At no point was the fic written in a non family friendly way.

But there were some innuendo jokes hinting at yandere activity.

Cause it was funny.

And I'm not overjustifying myself.

I think.

Hopefully.

[prime solar]

It's just a couple innuendos man, it's ok

[rose portal]

But like. What if I damage the reputation of the community with those

[prime solar]

it was not worse than some things Neuro has said for real.

[rose portal]

True but it's not like it'd help the general fanfic rep

[prime solar]

It's fine dude, there's a HUUUUGE difderence between an innuendo and E rated

[rose portal]

I cannae be trusted

[sudden peak]

, if you want me to! You have the most context as the event organizer, though, so it'll be up to you

[prime solar]

Wow, thanks! I guess I'll try and do something myself for now, but I'll let you know if i need snything. Thanks for the idea and for offering to post it!

[honest idol]

Haven't seen much literature there since Ollamh's poems.

[honest idol]

Love seeing the diverse mediums of Neuro art in the community.

[sly flower]

Gotta love being seen as an artist. Thanks!

[prime solar]

@sudden peak hey, um, I posted The Box as a contest winner in #1095941852068331560 but then got informed it's against the rules to post other people's works there?

[merry crescent]

You can post other people's works if you have permission to do so

[prime solar]

oh okay, thank you!!!

[merry crescent]

[prime solar]

Thank you @sudden peak !

[honest idol]

Sounds like I should read some others to vote better then. Only read 2 outside of the last contest.

[sly flower]

Perhaps you should. No rush, the vote is open for at least another two weeks

[thin slate]

I have a question if someone here wouldn't mind advising. I've been working on a fanfiction featuring Honey the Kawaii Bunny as the main character for a while now, and am moving it over from a google doc to ao3. While Vedal or the Neuros aren't a part of it at the moment (currently only Honey, Ellie, and Bo have made an appearance) they, and others, will show up in later chapters. Should I include all the characters that are planned to be involved in the tags now, or wait until the story gets to them? For that matter, should I post a link to it in this Discord before Neuro is a part of it?

[prime solar]

I think most people put the characters in the tags before they show up, but you can also wait. Having them in the tags may get more views, though.

[thin slate]

That makes sense, but I just don't want people to feel like they've been deceived.

[prime solar]

Also it's probably fine to share the story here in this thread, but i wouldn't advertise it in art or anything if it's not a neuro focused story, they might be upset not sure

[prime solar]

that makes sense. I think people will recognize though that it just means those characters will appear later. But it's totally fine to wait to add them!

[thin slate]

Thanks! This is my first time publicly sharing a writing piece I've made so I'm a little nervious.

[prime solar]

oh cool! Don't worry, lots of people's first writings are fanfictions. It's a place for people from like 10 years experience all the way to no experience to be able to share their creative works!

[thin slate]

Also what counts as a "graphic depiction of violence"? Like if someone gets shot with a gun and bleeds is that graphic?

[prime solar]

I would count that as pretty graphic yeah. I don't think there's a strict definition though? If you're worreid ao3 probably has guidelines explaining it

[thin slate]

Oh yeah there is more info

[true crest]

oh you're that person

[thin slate]

Menacing-ass post

[prime solar]

what do you mean?

[true crest]

i just remmeber it being read

[thin slate]

Honey read chapter 1 on stream

[true crest]

i'm a honey viewer

[thin slate]

Fair enough, hopefully she'll be more calm reading the later parts whenever she gets around to it. Also I rewrote parts of chapter 1 after that.

[true crest]

i actually didn't mean to mean anything by it, i initially wanted to invite you to the thread but decided against it because got shy

[thin slate]

Yeah I figured, it was just really funny getting a notification that was just "oh you're that person"

[thin slate]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/60337405/chapters/153988819
Alright it's up. Like I said it's only Neuro-adjacent at the moment but they will show up later. If anyone has anyone has anything they'd like to say I'd like to hear it, just don't roast me too hard.

[sly flower]

You'll be fine. And honestly, I do think honey and the others deserve more love than I can/will give them.

Going to be compiling the results today!

[prime solar]

Got the data, tallying "total votes" for fics because there's some tiebreakers needed. I'm going to put all the info into charts so everybody can see it easily if they want to, and putting the nominated stories into a new vote (ideally with links to each story so people can check out the nominated ones before voting if they'd like)

[prime solar]

THE DATA IS ALL DONE, it's setup in nice looking bar graphs for anyone who wants to see the full nomination data.

We're making a webpage with the nominee award voting, they link to the stories themselves straight from there, so you can easily check out any you may not have read if you decide to!

Link will be shared here once we're done making it look all fancy

congrats all winners! well-deserved

[honest idol]

I'll watch it tonight.

[honest idol]

Did any of you participate in the game jam?

[prime solar]

Yes! A whole bunch of us worked together on a game!

[honest idol]

Which one?

[prime solar]

https://neuro-fanfic-community.itch.io/company-property

[honest idol]

A Banded Archive also reminded me of The Box when I watched it on VOD.

[prime solar]

oh, I've been meaning to play that one! I intentionally haven't yet watched Vedal's playthroughs of games I didn't get to yet. If it reminded you of The Box, I am both scared and very intrigued

Our game got ranked 25th, so I'm hoping that there's a chance Vedal might play it

[honest idol]

I won't spoil it then.

[prime solar]

Thanks I'm excited now though

[honest idol]

That's pretty good, there was like 260 games.

[prime solar]

yeah, out of 277 is good, I'm happy with it

[honest idol]

Top 10(%).

[true crest]

the game's based on a fic of the same name

though the plot's not the same

[peak iris]

hello i made a 40k x neuro fanfic if anybody’s interested

[sly flower]

Maybe I am interested.

[peak iris]

ok

i’ll send it too you

[sly flower]

You could also put it online.

[peak iris]

is ok to post it here?

[sly flower]

Uhm... I think so?

[peak iris]

ok

[sly flower]

[sly flower]

I think its a really interesting concept. Also Neuro and Vedal bantering is entertaining. Very nice!

[peak iris]

thank you!

[peak iris]

sorry for asking this the day after (i fell asleep) but do you have any feedback or no?

[willow zephyr]

basically same
not same
Mage, made up you mind .

[true crest]

??

where did i say basically the same

i said it was based on a fic with the same name

[willow zephyr]

I mean... What does it take from the fic, if the plot is other?

[prime solar]

it's just a similar concept

the way it's used and plays out is entirely different

[willow zephyr]

Mmm, so general idea, but different execution.

I see.

[willow zephyr]

(More like "common idea", but that gives wrong meaning.)

[willow zephyr]

Abominable Intelligence?..

[peak iris]

ai = abominable intelligence

ai is seen as evil in 40k

warhammer is 40k if you were wondering

[willow zephyr]

...I know.

That's exactly what I was referencing.

But I should've made it more clear.

My dab.

Bad*

[peak iris]

oh ok

where you confused by anything or something?

why the first question?

[peak iris]

btw i also just made another neuro thing

it’s just short stories that I’m making to keep content flowing

[true crest]

any reason you're using eattpad instead of ao3?

[peak iris]

it’s just what i use

is ao3 better?

[river tusk]

most of the neurofic community post to ao3

[peak iris]

huh

cool

i’ll just post it both ways

[willow zephyr]

I wasn't confused; I wasn't sure that you yourself knew how AI is called in WH40k. The annotation is chopped a bit in discord, so I didn't know you literally mention it in it.

That's pretty much it.

[peak iris]

ah

ok

[sly flower]

Ironically it is still the same day for me.

[peak iris]

eh?

oh right time change

[sly flower]

Time zone go brrrr

[clever quail]

Nyahallo everyone! I am planning to commission an animation that is inspired by this art: https://x.com/Nyle202/status/1875613786859811094

Thing is, I need help with planning out what happens in certain parts.

So in the beginning, I plan for Vedal to be animated, talking to Neuro saying “I want you to be- have the capacity to exist outside of just, like, wow, being a funny streamer, you know? I want you to have that serious side too” and the “serious side too” echoes a bit, and then it cuts to several years later where Evil and Neuro are at Vedal’s grave under a cherry blossom tree, and then Neuro starts to dissociate with clips of her playing games with Vedal, Anny, Camila, etc flash in her head and the phrase “I want you to have that serious side too” repeats, while the song fades in. And then it starts here: https://youtu.be/iidooMsWfag?t=159

I’m not sure what to do with the verses “Mother looking at me / Tell me what do you see? / Yes, I’ve lost my mind / Daddy looking at me / Will I ever be free? Have I crossed the line?”

I also think the picture attached is a good idea but I don’t really know how to implement it.

During the chorus of the song, Neuro is glitching out and her eyes are strobe-like and she’s lip syncing to the words

Nylius (@Nyle202) on X

Listening to "Life" too many times making me overthink Vedal's talk... #heartheartart

X · Jan 4, 2025, 6:42 PM

I was told that it’d be a good idea to ask for advice here but lmk if I should post things somewhere else

[true crest]

I think the screenshot is a good idea, can't really think of other options myself

[fast beacon]

Hello.

[sudden peak]

if you're looking for fics, check the pin

[fast beacon]

Pin?

[sudden peak]

, on mobile it'll be somewhere in post settings. here's a convenient link anyway: #1230910304452345866 message

[fast beacon]

Thanks. So .. is this place right?

[sudden peak]

this is the place to talk about neuro fanfics, yep

[fast beacon]

Oh. Sorry if im bothering but thanks again.

[sudden peak]

no worries!

[prime solar]

Oh no problem, feel free to say whatever you'd like here! And check out the Neuroverse fics! if you're interested!

and thanks @sudden peak !

[fast beacon]

Guide me. I want to know fanfics such as interesting as the fic What is mean to be human ... who stayed at 3 chapters

[prime solar]

want to know? Do you mean, you want story recommendations?

[fast beacon]

Yes,

well... i want to write a Neuro-sama Fanfiction... but it would be a crazy one.. XD

[prime solar]

Oh yeah of course you can write one, everyone is welcome to!

[fast beacon]

yey. but maybe you have recommendations of fanfics to read. I read some on Ao3, and one on Wattpad, the title i mentioned before

[honest idol]

Magnum Opus and The Way she's Turing Our Lives Upside Down are really good.

[fast beacon]

where can i read those?

[prime solar]

If you're looking for the more slice-of-life type stories, those are in a similar genre

[prime solar]

pretty much all the stories are on ao3

https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Neuro-sama (Virtual Streamer)/works

[fast beacon]

oh. ok

[honest idol]

Cybersyte Vedalpunk is a good one in a different genre.

[fast beacon]

they are not in pause or discontinued right?

i hope not

[fast beacon]

Wait.... its you!!

oh my god... i.. im happy

[prime solar]

Turing is still in-progress. Actually, you can filter to show only 'completed' stories in your search on ao3

[fast beacon]

Im your fan

[prime solar]

[fast beacon]

https://archiveofourown.org/works/52971631/chapters/134002000 ... you are the author

[honest idol]

To Hear Your Voice gets pretty regular updates.

[fast beacon]

I... i mean, I love those three chapters, i wanted more... but, thats all

[prime solar]

yeah, I did write that, it was my first Neuro chapter story

[fast beacon]

And i love it! .... so, will you continue it?

or... its over?

[prime solar]

I wish I could. I can say "Oh yeah, I hope I'd continue it one day", but if I'm being realistic, it probably won't be...

[fast beacon]

ow..

[prime solar]

I have 2 other stories that I'm already struggling to update at all, and my motivation is elsewhere anyways

If I was one of those people who can just write write write tons, constantly, then yeah it would be, but I find it so hard to write literally anything these days...

[fast beacon]

oh... ok. Well, the only thing i can do is pray to god.. and just wait, like the dog of futurama

[prime solar]

And I know what it's like to read stories online that I love, only to have them never continue, I've had that happen so many times as a reader myself... I'm not happy to be causing it to happen

[prime solar]

yeah. Maybe by some crazy happening I could never think of, it does get finished

I just don't want to get anyone's hopes up

[fast beacon]

yeah. when i read that Neuro became human i was asking myself... where's Evil?

[prime solar]

I have 2 other Neurofics I'm trying to finish first right now

[fast beacon]

well.. i will wait

Its always happen

good fanfics of all fandoms have the same fate

[prime solar]

Honestly hearing somebody cares... makes me want to try and write something again

[prime solar]

It does I've seen it happen constantly, so many stories I'll never see the end of

[fast beacon]

without pressure. im not a boss or something... im a writer to. so i understand the feeling when some ideas does not come

[prime solar]

the bright side, is there are a TON of authors of neuorfics now, with a ton of very good Neurofics

[prime solar]

thank you

[fast beacon]

and have more projects... hehe i write spanish fanfics of Bnha fandom, crossover and that stuff.

[prime solar]

but yeah, if you like WIMTBH, you'll love many of the other stories even more, probably

[prime solar]

oh wow!

[fast beacon]

but after i read some fics of neurosama.

i wanted to write a One Shot, about... well a little tragedy and a happy ending

and... some crazy stuff

[prime solar]

Sounds exciting!

Do you have an ao3 account?

[sly flower]

Nice

[fast beacon]

Nope. well yes, but i dont use it at all

i usually write on Wattpad because of the images and the way you can write chapters.

i did not try in Ao3

yet

[sly flower]

He's asking because of AO3s cue time for getting an account

[fast beacon]

cue time?

[prime solar]

yeah, on ao3 when you make an account, you have to wait for like 12 days to actually get your account

so it's better to make it sooner rather than later if you don't have one

also hi askonite!

[fast beacon]

oh... i see.

[prime solar]

yeah it's annoying. So it's better to just make an account so you can leave it and not have to wait later

[sly flower]

Yo Shad. Late night discord strikes again

[fast beacon]

The other reason that i choose wattpad is because is more simple

the other... well i dont know how to start a fic, too many options hehe

[prime solar]

You find it more simple? I used to crosspost my stories to wattpad, and other than having a cover image, I didn't like it, I found it more annoying to use personally..

but maybe I'm just too used to ao3 at this point. ao3 is also kind of weird.

to be honest I don't super like any writing site

[fast beacon]

hehe.

well when someone start a work on ao3, there is more options ant a work text... so i am a little confused at that, is those space the chapter i have to write?

[sly flower]

Its the big box with "chapter text"

[fast beacon]

there is a space called work text, who has a limit of 500000 words, its the description or the place i have to write the chapter?

its so confusing XD

[prime solar]

on ao3 stories posted are called "works"

so that's your story text

that's at or near the bottom of the page where you post

[fast beacon]

oh. now i get it.

I will have to try.

[prime solar]

you can do it! And feel free to ask any more questions!

[fast beacon]

ok

thanks

but maybe y will write it on spanish because i dont have so much knowledge of english hehe, so i dont know all the words... well,... if i use google translate...

[prime solar]

ao3 has options for like every language that exists so no worries

[fast beacon]

options? for translate?

[prime solar]

oh, I meant you can post stories in any language. No, you'd have to translate a story somewhere else if you want to do that

[fast beacon]

oh. ok hahah

[honest idol]

Google or my phone, forgot which, can auto-translate stories, I read one story that way. Wasn't perfect, but it did pretty good.

[rose portal]

Ho... translating fic stories...

MLT is always so limited... That's why we show more love to guys like Vov and Anonu who translate fics to other languages 💛

Speaking of. There was a Chinese Neurofic awhile back... I think I was the only one who read it though...

[river tusk]

i read it, since i can read chinese

though i read english better than chinese, despite cn being my 1st lang lmao

[rose portal]

[willow zephyr]

I didn't translate anything in Neuroverse.

[rose portal]

I didn't specify Neuroverse

[prime solar]

[fast beacon]

oh... i was far away .. sad XD

[frank drum]

Sad

[fast beacon]

Whatever. I would like to read hehe.

[frank drum]

There's some cool ones on thete

[fast beacon]

I read some.

[frank drum]

Sisyphus was pretty cool even though it's vague

Torn made me sad

[frank drum]

Which ones if u don't mind me asking

[fast beacon]

Heroic Mayhem

Crashing out together

This Station is Fu@$@ asimov

Kitsune Maison

[frank drum]

Finnaly a fildal ship after 2000 years though I read the safe version since I don't read smu

[fast beacon]

Neuro and Evil and Calvin and Hobbes

[fast beacon]

Yeah. I read both

[frank drum]

Amazing

[fast beacon]

The Human Trials

[frank drum]

Got this on the list since it's written by phobi but haven't read it yet

[fast beacon]

To my creator from the future

[fast beacon]

I loved it.

[frank drum]

Excited to see where that one goes

[frank drum]

Ooo defo gonna read it next then

Phobi's fics are good

[fast beacon]

Yeah me too... but i ve seen the new chapters were so sudden you know? Like... idk... i was expecting something more like the first or second episode.

But i like it

Oh. And Vedal is in debt

[frank drum]

I get what u mean

They are most fast paced

While the 1st 2 were more slow burn

[fast beacon]

Yeah.

And of course idk if the lore of the fic is like... anny is stream friend or something else.

Or some backstory about neuro and vedal, including evil and filter sama.

[frank drum]

Pretty sure it's implied that's she's just a friend

As there's no mention of vedal or her streaming

[frank drum]

Do agree on this

There's like 80 chapters in total

And we are on like 6

So we will probably get some flashbacks

[fast beacon]

Yeah.

[frank drum]

I think it's cuz we spent the 1st few chapters really learning about neuro

While evil and nere got like 2 quick chapters

And then nere proceeded to not speak much during her chapter

Though hacking reality is pretty cool

[fast beacon]

Op hahha

[frank drum]

Yeah she's essentially reality bending lmao

Can she beat Goku though 😭

Troll

[honest idol]

Lots of new stories. Hopefully I can make time to vote

[frank drum]

Yee

Amazing

[grim lotus]

I was thinking of a story involving finding neuro’s original body stored in an abandoned room in Vedal’s database. The bot would be alive still get decaying and jealous of the newer models.

[prime solar]

Oh, okay, cool!

[frank drum]

[gritty patrol]

Hello

[gritty patrol]

Um.. I wrote a fanfic about neuro and, a lil Nervous about it (Anxiety n' overthinking that I copied someone's work without realizing it) The idea of the story had been in the back of my mind so I finally wrote it in AO3

[peak iris]

@gritty patrol

[vocal tangle]

Cute image for response/interaction

[vocal tangle]

I see

[vocal tangle]

Don't worry about it. It's a fanfic, and you know the idea has been in the back of your mind for a while. As long as you wrote it in your own way, it's your creation. Overthinking is normal, but trust yourself, you put in the effort, and that matters

[frank drum]

Indeed this chat is pretty dead

[frank drum]

That's pretty cool

[sly flower]

Congrats!

[fast beacon]

oh... give the name i want to read XD

[gritty patrol]

Programmed for Reality

[fast beacon]

Got it

[frank drum]

No way a dead rails x neuro fic

I gotta read this

[true crest]

https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1356433860585586839

THYV art i commissioned

[frank drum]

Nice art

[frank drum]

Just saw the video of Pippa and fillian hunting down vovgus(fanfic writer)💀

[minor sedge]

just see this disscussion

just want to say my favourite fanfics of Neuro is Programmed for Reality and To Hear Your Voice

[frank drum]

Oo that's nice

Programmed for reality is the authors first fic aswell

Glad to see u like it

[minor sedge]

yall programmed for reality just got 3-4 new chapters lol

[minor sedge]

just saying here,severed code is quite sad

[frank drum]

Oh I havnt read it yet

Sounds interesting

[frank drum]

Pog

[minor sedge]

It doesn’t have much chapter yet,but the premise is basically neuro gets stolen

[frank drum]

I see

[minor sedge]

Like litteraly,the source code gets stolen and neuro is stripped to accordingly ao3

[frank drum]

Poor vedal

[minor sedge]

Currently there are only 4 chapters and ||neuro was just able to contact anny||

[frank drum]

I can never resist the urge to click a spoiler

Ppl say it ruins the story I say it makes me more excited

Unless it's like a plot twist then like eh 50 50 about em

[minor sedge]

Yea but go read it,the author creates good story

[frank drum]

👍

[minor sedge]

My current top 3 neuro fanfics
1.To Hear Your Voice
2.Programmed for Reality
3.Severed code

[frank drum]

To hear your voice is pretty peak

[frank drum]

Also u seen this?

Oh u have

[sleek walrus]

hey. i've wrote something and thought on sharing here, lol. it's on AO3 and is called "Occam's Razor". would be very cool to have swarm's thoughts!

[frank drum]

I saw that but havnt read it yet

[versed wadi]

more fics for me to feast on, will drop my opinions when i get around to consuming it

[frank drum]

Mo r e content

[versed wadi]

i need more chapters! now!!!!!

[sleek walrus]

hehe, glad you've liked it!

[versed wadi]

it’s good… and might have given me the urge to try out microsoft solitare

also really enjoyed ace

[sleek walrus]

ace is peak, until you realise how they'll probably end up in jail, lol-

but yeah! solitaire is actually crazy fun, a trap for ADHD might i add

[minor sedge]

just to ask,is ace mtf or ftm?

[sleek walrus]

ftm! it's mentioned in the last chapter

[minor sedge]

ah ok,i am currently reading the last chapter

gotta say

really intresting story

rarely seen a story concentrated only on vedal

and its done quite well

[sleek walrus]

thanks! i really thought fandom would benefit from more vedal content, since i saw a lot of people interested in it

[sleek walrus]

tehee, glad to hear that!

[minor sedge]

true honestly,really hopeful of the relation of ace and vedal

like from the tags I can tell it will have romance later on,but quite like how both just bonds over drinking lol

[sleek walrus]

well, who knows, right. the only way to find out is wait for next chapters

[sleek walrus]

don't think i trust my own tags, lolol

[minor sedge]

and i feel like its quite rare to see someone characterized vedal as someone who is(maybe)not as friends to people close to him(like camilla,i cant tell if they are joking or actually have a only co worker realtion)

[minor sedge]

lol

anyways,keep on cooking,i can tell this can be a great fanfic

[sleek walrus]

as mentioned at the beginning, this is a character study at topics like internet addiction, vtuber culture, e.t.c. the point of it all being looking at this at a more dark angle

[sleek walrus]

thanks, i will!

[minor sedge]

i can see that,welp,guess i just have to wait to see how their realtion will develop

and its funny how i am keeping tab on 4 seprete neuro fanfics

and waiting for my account toi be register so i can give good comment lol

[sleek walrus]

that's very cool! ppl like you is what keeps authors going ^^

[minor sedge]

also

since ace is mtf,if they do have romance

is that a straight relation or a gay relation

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1059569601144442911/1271184656166948966/nuer_eating_plate.gif

[sleek walrus]

well, ace is ftm. and i guess it's not anything yet. tbh, all of my works focus on the same study: "one had what other wanted". it's not about romance, or relationship, more like "how they can damage eachother" kind of thing

[minor sedge]

or how they can fix eachother?

[sleek walrus]

it's never fixing when it comes to my work, ig. i aim for the realistic portrayal that doesn't cure mental issues with affection.

[minor sedge]

also,funny how every time i imagine romance intrest kissing,i always think of the overexatraggted making out meme

[minor sedge]

so just so i can understand,you aim for a more realistc approach to situations

tho they cant fully fix each other

they help each other become a better them?

[sleek walrus]

sure. growing from experience kind of thing. (or, in some of my works, becoming even worse)

it really depends

[minor sedge]

so they either become a better them,or the situaltion of
"i can let them break me"

[sleek walrus]

it's either they learn a lesson from a relationship, or they commit and put trauma on a pedestal

just like in real life, lolol

[minor sedge]

lolol

btw,nice talking with you,not only about to udnerstand the fanfic more

but i can have someone to talk with it lol

[sleek walrus]

same! it's cool that someone is interested in my work and it's direction ^^
if you'll have any more non-spoiler questions about occam's razor, tag me!

rn i have to get back to work ^^

[minor sedge]

just to clarify on why i ask,i couldnt tell their(do i use his?)gender in the chapter

from what i seen(prob because i am dumb)

their outfit doesnt really clarify what gender they are

hair of gender neutral,male athletic short but female dress

and a heavy jacket to cover up

and i still think about how vedal's parent dont know ace's gender even when they saw them

[sleek walrus]

yeah, you can use he/him for ace! and yeah, that's kind of a point, ace doesn't make it easy for people

they're devious behind that tired look lolol

[minor sedge]

yea that's whjy i ask lol

i litteraly couldnt tell

one more thing i will prob ask

tho you prob dont have it planned,how exactly slow burn do you consider the realtion to be?

from current chapter 1-5

vedal went from wanting ace to just leave to actually sharing 1-2 personal things and acting like normal friends

(and of course i am a sucker for romance)

[minor sedge]

but anyways.thank you for anwsering my question and having a nice chat lol

i wish you luck in writing more chapters(waiting for peak to drop)

and i will go now

[sleek walrus]

like, very slowburn, if butn at all. if you're there for romance, i doubt there even will be a kiss at all. but maybe. we'll see

[minor sedge]

eh,i guess it is fine,but honestly,i think the thing i just want to see is their relation grow stronger,maybe no need to be partners,be just as good friends and roomates,(and maybe even appearing in vedal's stream)

[minor sedge]

yall even more of programmed for reality just dropped

Also,if the author ever see this,know that many of us really liked teh story

keep cooking,author

[frank drum]

A someone who beat Klondike easy mode in 15 fkin seconds I would reccomend yes

[frank drum]

I saw him talk here when he released it

[frank drum]

( it took a bunch of practice but hey I was bored)

[minor sedge]

i unfortuntly just read this like a few days ago,so i dont know the author

so i just address them as "author"

[frank drum]

I don't really know them just saw em talk about releasing the fic

[minor sedge]

yea,but honestly quite a good story they created

[frank drum]

I see

( I have been busy with exams unable to keep up with the stories)

But soon I shall be free

[minor sedge]

ah i see,its basically a what if neuro and evil was able to become human

not the most original i know

but i like the affection vedal has to care for the twins

[frank drum]

Eh it's fine

[frank drum]

I see

[minor sedge]

Since it seems this discussing channel is basically dead

Just gonna drop a question here

What are y’alls favourite neuro fanfic?

[prime solar]

I love so many, right now Broken Time's the Charm, Perfect Paradise, Dungeons and AI, Connection Lost

[minor sedge]

[prime solar]

[willow zephyr]

[true crest]

[gritty patrol]

Wait... Programed for Reality?!?!?!

[minor sedge]

Yes

Also hello there author

Wanted to ask you a question

But my account haven’t arrived yet lol

[gritty patrol]

Me is bouncing rn out of joy

[gritty patrol]

Sure, ask me here

[minor sedge]

Two things

1:do you plan on including all of vedal’s friends

Or just some of them

Second question I will have to ask in dm

(No worry it’s just a normal question)

[gritty patrol]

Phew, I got nervous for a bit

[minor sedge]

Nvm about the second question

Just found you are already in”that”server lol

Thought you weren’t in there cuz I have never seen you chat there lol

[gritty patrol]

Well, I'm not that well known/active there. But someday I hope some peeps recognize me there

Anyways, me is happy to chat with a reader of my story. I like interacting with y'all

[minor sedge]

I mean some do

[gritty patrol]

Really?!

[minor sedge]

Yea

Let just take this to dm just so this place don’t get really flooded

[gritty patrol]

I'm shaking rn, I'm so happy!!!!!!!!

[sly flower]

Ah, This is such a trip down memory lane...

[gritty patrol]

hello

[prime solar]

You been rereading old convos here?

[sly flower]

Yup. Wanted to figure out what day I came into the thread.

[prime solar]

Ah

[minor sedge]

I really haven’t come back here a lot huh

This really is a trip down memory lane

[frank drum]

Me too

[spiral karma]

get some plot of simpson~~

[sacred ridge]

Is there any poems about the Neuro family in there?

[cloud linden]

You have unlocked new role

[sly flower]

Not that I know

[honest idol]

There's the CDawg canvas one by Ollamh in art.

[pallid mauve]

Is there any other site besides archive if our own that is acceptable here? Said its gonna take a few weeks to get an invitation

Nvm answered my own question by reading the pin. I need to actually read.

I had an idea for a fanfic. Can i run it by the community here?

[prime solar]

Sure

[pallid mauve]

So: Vedal is sick with a deadly disease and doesnt have much time to live. He still works in Neuro in the hopes that he can pass the project to a trusted friend. All the sudden a woman in futuristic clothes bursts through his window trying to kill him. She is from a future where Neuro took over the world and known explored space because Vedal made her to do so. He is confused as he is dying and eventually he is taken to the future in the hope of trying to stop her based on her rules she was made with.

More to it in my mind but dont want to give too much away before writing. I don’t plan on any shipping or stuff like that. Just a cool time travel story

[prime solar]

oh, that is pretty interesting!

[pallid mauve]

Ill write in a doc until i get my invite from the website and post it after.

[prime solar]

Nice!! That's something a few people have done, actually, written while waiting for the invite

[sacred ridge]

Hey!

Are there any Neuro sama poems in the pinned link?

[prime solar]

Hmm I'm not sure if there's poemsM there might be a couple things like poems, but mainly it's just stories

People can post poems, though!

[river tusk]

this came to my mind https://archiveofourown.org/works/64710898/chapters/166258264

It's the most 'poem-like' thing of neuro i've read

it may not be what you're looking for, but it's worth a shot

Now that the submitted stories ( found here https://archiveofourown.org/collections/neuro_fanfic_contest_5/works ) are visible, everyone can read them, and vote on which you feel were the best! Please try to read at least most of if not all of the submissions before voting! Voting ends and the winners will be determined (along with the authors of each story being revealed) at <t:1759500043:F>

Voting:
Your 1st place vote will give that story 3 points, your second place vote 2 points, and all Honourable Mentions you give, will get 1 point. Please select a different story for each of your 1st place, 2nd place, and Honourable Mentions choices in a category (But you can give votes to the same stories in both categories if you want, just don't vote twice for a story in the same category.)

Any writer who submits their vote gets +1 point to their story! (But don't vote your own story please!)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or DM Shadrake.
Thank you for participating!
