you are goin crazy friend

#

make sure to pace yourself

compact prawn
#

i'm not doing the final part today, that's for sure

kind scaffold
#

good idea i think

compact prawn
#

Is that a challenge I hear? Junomegaflushed

#

help, I can't stop

kind scaffold
#

not a challenge

#

rest

compact prawn
#

So, technically I have finished the NaoxMako story
But as I went back to reread, I noticed a few inconsistencies or loose details, so I'm currently going back revisting the previous parts so they line up better with the ending AiMiPat

#

that's my revisisted version of part 1

kind scaffold
#

:o

#

might i suggest something

compact prawn
#

sure

kind scaffold
#

whenever a new character is talking you should start a new paragraph

#

otherwise the dialogue gets mixed up

compact prawn
#

I see, I'll keep it in mind for my next project as it's gonna take a lot of editing for this one

kind scaffold
#

fair

obtuse kraken
#

you're knockin em out like crazy holy shit

compact prawn
#

Mainly because I'm just reworking the original versions, but I'm finally writing the big finale AiMiPat

#

Next part is the final one, really enjoyed making this one

severe stump

#

WOOOOOOO

#

next stop ao3

compact prawn
#

Still waiting in the queue AiMiPat

kind scaffold
#

im cheering you on

compact prawn
#

Wee

compact prawn
#

Made the ao3 account blobboplead

kind scaffold
#

WOO

#

if you want help let me know

compact prawn
#

oh, i just looked at the format, good lord what am i looking at

#

i regret using italics so much now

kind scaffold
#

If you use basic editor rather than html it should convert?

compact prawn
#

basic editor? blobboplead

#

i completely missed the little button

#

it did convert, yay

kind scaffold
#

yay

compact prawn
#

but there's indeed no font color

#

rip era's diary

#

btw, on the characters listing, should i include every character in the story or just the 2 the story goes around?

kind scaffold
#

whoever is prominent

#

basically anyone important

#

for me if they down show up "on screen" i dont tag them

#

or if they are only in one scene in one chapter and their role doesnt move the plot along

#

imagine yourself as someone looking for say, luna fics, and you search the luna tag and she is tagged in a fic where she says a single joke in chapter 25 or something, you would question shes even tagged

compact prawn
#

naruhodo.

kind scaffold
compact prawn
#

so i guess is just nao and the onis

kind scaffold
#

prolly

#

unless rasmus and kazan show up more than that first scene

compact prawn
#

kazan has a more prominent role in one of the other chapters

#

but rasmus just has that one appearance, then he's just mentioned at best

kind scaffold
#

i'd tag kazan then

#

(sorry i didnt read more than the first chapter yet)

#

also remember that character/character is romantic while character & character is platonic

compact prawn
kind scaffold
#

if you look at me fic i think its a good example for tags

#

either of my fics tbh

compact prawn
#

how do you add other chapters?

kind scaffold
#

BUT ALSO HYPE

#

gonna read this later

#

you should put other tags tho

#

like if you see on my fic it says additional tags, those are used for telling the reader what the fic involves

#

if you don't know exactly what tags to add, the tag editor has an autocomplete feature that can help, and you can always look at other fics tags for examples

compact prawn
#

i see, the i really like demon drive's story seems fitting

kind scaffold
#

lol

#

those kinds of tags are just silly comments

#

not real tags

compact prawn
#

done uploading all 5 chapters SoniiMmm

kind scaffold
#

WOOOOO

#

don't forget to add the additional tags :D

compact prawn
#

I really dunno what to add, i put demon drive and clarion corp

kind scaffold
#

basically like what the tone of your story is and stuff

#

like how collecting rainwater has like hurt/comfort or angst as a tag

#

and my dd one has sibling rivalry and stuff

#

basically so people will know what to expect

compact prawn
#

#

The introduction to something I'm working on

kind scaffold
#

👀

fresh talon
#

Asher's backstory is really interesting so see this as a prequel lol

kind scaffold
#

ASHER NOOOOO

#

this is really nice though

#

what's it about? just everyone's backstories?

pseudo epoch
#

asher mentioned, time to read

fresh talon
#

Just whoever I feel like covering

kind scaffold
#

fair

#

if you want help with era's i'm here ahahaa

fresh talon
#

Lol

#

But yeah I headcanon that Asher lost her eye in a fight with the mobsters that ratted her out

#

She has both eyes right now

kind scaffold
#

:o

#

would line up i think

pseudo epoch
fresh talon
#

Violence warning lol

#

Thanks!

#

Corrupt cop and shortstack mobster

pseudo epoch
#

i have yet to headcanon how asher lost her eye

#

we're ignoring the fact that its canon that her eye works just fine and that she wears the eyepatch for the look

fresh talon
#

Lol

#

You'll see how I depict it

pseudo epoch
#

there's this one art piece that someone made, its really good, so i've just kinda taken that one

#

for now at least

compact prawn

Updated with a new chapter

@kind scaffold I added a new chapter btw

kind scaffold
#

👀

fresh talon
#

It's about Luna and Atlas this time lol

fresh talon
#

Yup lol

#

How did you guys like it @pseudo epoch @tall haven

#

I wanted to detail Luna and Atlas' relationship and how awkward things are between them

tall haven
#

I liked it, I think you wrote them both really well

fresh talon
#

Thanks!

tall haven
pseudo epoch
fresh talon
#

Awesome--I was hoping it was

pseudo epoch
fresh talon
#

Yeah that's true

#

Being an older sibling parent sucks ass but he's trying his best

#

Luna meanwhile is having a hard time since she's so young and her brother doesn't think like she does

#

And she doesn't exactly have friends

#

As you can see, three girls at school just...love her lol

pseudo epoch
#

also, similarly, she sees atlas as a bossy older brother, not a parent, which i thought you encapsulated well

fresh talon
#

Yeah it's a POV problem

#

I appreciate it!

#

I'm hoping the devs can give us a story mode in their next game

pseudo epoch
#

FR

fresh talon
#

If not, then I can at least fill in my own blanks

fresh talon
#

Updated with Chapter 3

#

The focus is on Asher again

young vessel
fresh talon
#

Hope it's good lol

#

This one shows Asher working at her day job since she runs the gambling hall at night on certain days

young vessel
fresh talon
#

What did you think of it @young vessel

fresh talon
#

Thanks lol

#

Not much is happening yet but it's a slow buildup

#

The cops are sniffing her out lol

young vessel
#

Yeah

pseudo epoch
fresh talon
#

Thanks lol

#

He's just curious as to why a human woman is so buff

#

Asher is happy he noticed and doesn't mind being gawked at. She's proud of her figure

#

So long as you look respectfully, you're good lol

tall haven
#

@fresh talon I added Luna getting the subway to school to my hc list and credited you, hope you don’t mind

fresh talon
#

@tall haven Oh no problem! Go ahead lol. I wanted to lean into the cyberpunk-ish nature of the setting and have her get to school that way since she can't drive lmao

tall haven
#

I like the idea

fresh talon
#

Feel free to DM me this list. I'm curious to see what else you came up with

tall haven
#

Sure thing!:D

fresh talon
#

But yeah, she's trying to be independent lol

fresh talon

Luna is the focus again

@kind scaffold You might wanna check out my newest chapter lol

#

i have to read chapter 2 stilllll

fresh talon
#

Oh lol

#

Take your time, no rush

tall haven
fresh talon
#

Yeah sorry, but I wanted to depict a realistic issue

tall haven
#

I think you did a great job with it

fresh talon
#

She's smart as hell so naturally other kids are going to be jealous

#

And they'll find any weakness they can exploit to make her feel bad. In this case her missing parents

tall haven
#

To be fair I hc that she gets bullied too but it’s usually when SSR wins against popular teams

fresh talon
#

Gotcha lol

#

But this is before that

tall haven
#

True

#

She’d probably get bullied regardless because she’s smart and has a bit of an ego about it

fresh talon
#

Yeah her quotes in game show that she's a bit full of herself

#

"Makes sense. Choosing the smartest one in the room."

#

So the bullying is a reaction to some of that

tall haven
#

I like to think that her ego is all for show in Corestrike like a persona and then she’s actually pretty timid outside it

#

But that’s just a personal hc

fresh talon
#

Gotcha

#

But yeah it's only going to get worse from here

tall haven
#

Ah

#

Womp Womp

fresh talon
#

Let's just say you're probably going to want these three to die lol

tall haven
#

I kinda already do lmao, now I’m really interested

fresh talon
#

Full disclosure I don't advocate for killing children lol

#

But bullies are the exception!

tall haven
#

Yes LunaNice

fresh talon
#

You'll be satisfied by the end of it though

#

Luna will...defend herself let's say lol

tall haven
#

Yippee

cyan tundra

Wait, Luna angst?

fresh talon
#

@cyan tundra yeah in my fanfic lol

#

You can read it here

cyan tundra
#

Maybe i can add a bit more into the Luna in the Donlas AU devious

fresh talon
#

Hopefully you like it lol

cyan tundra
#

The being in her brother's shadow is gonna not be as relevant here where Atlas is dead, but... I'll be taking some notes wiwinoted

pseudo epoch
#

i dont think you've warned enough

#

there is ALOT OF GORE

cyan tundra
pseudo epoch
#

my live reaction after reading it the first time:

cyan tundra
#

Just wait till i finish the sequel (Asher meets her untimely fate)

pseudo epoch
#

dont you dare

cyan tundra
#

Bro i already got like... 3 or 4 pages i cant remember before even getting to the fight/gore

#

So uhh

pseudo epoch
cyan tundra
tall haven
#

Are we sharing our Luna angst? JunoShy

pseudo epoch
#

luna trauma? i suppose so

tall haven
#

I gotta explain some things before I share mine

#

So this is based on my hc that Atlas’ constellation arms are actually his skin and he’s been saying it’s a body suit as a cover up
Luna has the stars as well and that’s why we never see her without her gloves

Also part 1 is a flashback comic showing how they got those stars and it hasn’t been finished yet but all you need to know basically is that Luna looks like this

How do you like the way I've written Vyce?

severe stump
# fresh talon How do you like the way I've written Vyce?

As a Vyce main and enjoyer, I found her characterization quite well written! I can see Vyce definitely using a skateboard
Also unrelated but "My blade knows no gender" has to be one of the best things ever said in an os fanfiction

fresh talon
#

Well one of Vyce's official interests is skateboarding lol

#

I didn't come up with it, but I used it. It's listed in game

#

But yeah, things are awkward between her and Octavia

severe stump
fresh talon
#

I wanted to showcase a parallel. Octavia is rich and successful but lonely while Vyce is a poor bum with loads of friends

#

Did you like that?

severe stump
#

Yep! It's an interesting parallel
Octavia would most likely be more demure and quiet
While Vyce is a lot more talkative
It's interesting to see their differences

fresh talon
#

Thanks!

#

And how do you like Komachi?

#

I wanted to give Zentaro a rival so I made a ninja girl inspired by Naruto

#

As you saw, he refuses to hold back because the blade doesn't discriminate based on gender lol

fresh talon
#

All I want for my birthday is to have good feedback on my work lol

kind scaffold
#

thats true

#

i find it helps to build up relationships with people in the communities surrounding the thing you like and write for cuz then people are more willing to look at your stuff if that makes sense

#

and build a connection to the things you make

#

cuz like in my experience people are much more willing to engage with things made by people they know and talk to vs someone who likes drops a masterpiece every now and then but never interacts if that makes sense

fresh talon
#

Yeah that's true

#

Kinda feel awkward talking to so many people at once tho lmao

kind scaffold
#

that is fair and honestly i wouldnt recommend trying to talk to general or os chat but there is #1077434433554088056 chat which is the comfiest and most supportive place in this server and your fic definitely seems very headcanon heavy from what i know i bet people would love to talk about that kinda stuff with you there

fresh talon
#

Yeah that's a good idea

#

I also intend to mostly stick to the writing corner here

#

I don't play the game much anymore, but I'd love to write for it

#

writing is harder than i thought sadness

#

i can write BANGER essays but creative fiction is proving difficult

#

and the tactics i use to write essays don’t really translate over to fanfiction as much as i thought they would

kind scaffold
#

idk I think you are awesome at comics

#

what's your like method

winter haven
#

well for my comic scripts i don’t have to make things flow super well when i write it LOL i smooth it all out with the drawings instead

#

for essays a lot of it just comes really naturally for me so i didn’t ever do any formal first/second drafts :p i just write the whole thing and read thru it once or twice to make sure everything flows together and transitions nicely

#

and prior to writing i can plan out like “ok these are my key points i want to hit on so here’s how i can transition A into B and B into C” so on and so forth

#

and then i can just. write it

#

so like. now i’m writing this fanfiction and i’m suddenly struggling to make things smooth AimiCry

#

grahhhh evilmako evilmako fishJam

kind scaffold
#

key points is kinda how I write too

#

for me it helps to outline everything I'm gonna write from beginning to end first

#

and then slowly start adding to it in more in more detail each draft

#

like
"so then era walks in and x is cooking" for the outline
and then draft one is like
"era steps into the kitchen and the smell of fried rice hits her nose. she turns her head to see x at the stove."
and then usually I keep my first draft in lower case so that I definitely go over it when I do second/final draft and it usually doesn't change much beyond that for most of the writing

winter haven
#

ohhhhh :0 that’s smart, using all lowercase

#

cuz yea you go thru it and it’s like “oh i didn’t go over this part yet”

kind scaffold
#

I just randomly started doing it one day and found it helped me so much to distinguish which parts were edited and which weren't

winter haven
#

ok so i think with my NYE comic i technically DID do a first draft/final draft but it was like.. the script was the first draft and the comic was the final. cuz reading back on it i’m realizing i actually changed a lot from the initial dialogue AimiLoad

drifting eagle
compact prawn
#

Personally when it comes to writing i absolutely dread building scenes and describing characters SoniiMmm

drifting eagle
#

esp. these panels

winter haven
#

this is part of my next comic script, very messy and loose and i add notes in for myself so i guess this is like the “outline”?

winter haven

i’m glad you liked it :3

The struggle is real

i should attempt to finish my Era angst today stare

compact prawn
#

wait wtf AiMiFlushed

kind scaffold
#

better finish it up

compact prawn
#

pain

compact prawn
#

do you guys set a specific lenght per chapter?

kind scaffold
#

i try to keep it within a ballpark depending on the fic

#

like i will write the first chapter and t hen use that as a benchmark for how long the rest of the chapters will be

#

so like if my first chapter is 2000 words then i'll want all the other chapters to be minimum 1k, max maybe 4k

compact prawn
kind scaffold
#

but i also never want to purposefully cut my chapters down if i think there needs to be things there

#

like if i make a 6k chapter for my 2k fic i'm usually not gonna be like "oh i should cut this down a bit" cuz generally speaking everything in there is pretty necessary. but if a chapter does get too long it's good to try to find a point near the middle to cut it in half and just put the second half as the next chapter

#

because readers will likely expect each chapter to be a similar length, and having that expectation be thrown around with wild word counts will harm retention

#

it is always better to keep things shorter if you can

#

paragraphs especially

#

most people aren't gonna have a good time reading big blocks of text

compact prawn
#

I'm still trying to find a style for paragraphs

kind scaffold
#

wdym

#

indent vs like spaced out lines

#

i believe ao3 has a custom style you can use for indented fics but i have no idea how to do that otherwise i'd use it

#

i write indented though i just think it looks nicer

compact prawn
#

i guess more so knowing when to break into a different one

kind scaffold
#

ah so a useful method i learned is to think of it like a camera in a movie

#

each time the camera cuts is when you start a new line

#

so like, when another characer starts talking, or the scene changes, or time moves forward

#

whenever the focus is shifted

#

so like in that first pic example you can imagine the camera is focusing on era while she is talking. she mentions texts, which causes x and kai to take out their phones. that's where the camera cuts to show them doing that

#

then camera cuts again to kai because he started talking

#

in that second pic i break the paragraph up between the first and second one just cuz the first paragraph was getting a bit long more than anything

#

paragraphs should be at minimum, three sentences long. unless you have something really impactful you want to keep to a single line, that's where rule breaks come in play

#

as seen again in the third line on the second image

#

it's only two sentences but it is emphasized

#

mostly because it's the end of a scene and there is a horizontal line after that

#

which the horizontal line i use for major scene changes and time jumps

#

the horizontal line after that paragraph is because it cuts to the next morning and is a general tone shift as well

fancy era from the epilogeu also made by nameless. this one made by someone which isnt directly collecting rainwater but you made it in response to it so i counted it

#

also yes rox made the critters

and this by rox which isnt from the fic itself but it absolutely would be a thing featuring era support group

anyways i love the cr art it gives me eternal life

compact prawn
#

still trying to come up with tags AimiCry

kind scaffold
#

tags can be hard but you usally dont need too much

#

just enough to tell people the vibes of the fic

#

like if it 's slice of life or drama or angst etc

#

or my favorite, angst and fluff

#

or hurt/comfort

#

similar things

compact prawn
#

i really need to overclock my brain for this

kind scaffold
#

dont think too hard on it

compact prawn

proceeds to think in extreme difficulty

i got 8 tags

JunkoWOAH this thread must be revived

finally restarting on my effort to finish my complete byte breakers history fanfic, just a fully fleshed out zen/aimi/finii story that I hope has a satisfying conclusion

its been like 5 months tho so its gonna be so awkward without my flow lmao

i believe in youuuu

#

just go at it and dont worry about flow that's what second drafts and editing are for

compact prawn

second drafts? SoniiMmm

kind scaffold

yes

#

important

#

do them

compact prawn

I don't even make the first one SoniiMmm

thats also important i highly recommend it

#

So question, do you guys have any way to go about spotting weaknesses in your writing?
As much as I say I want to improve on my writing, I'm also not too sure what is it that I'm kinda lingering on or how to approach that

kind scaffold
#

i guess it depends on artist eye vs skill thing

#

for me i know i dont like how i write descriptions

#

and i think i'm lacking in it

#

but i think the best way to spot that is like, read things

#

and like, lowkey compare yourself? thats a terrible idea idk

#

oh

#

i think a great way to detect weaknesses is to read your writing out loud to yourself

#

or to put it through text to speech

#

read things that are similar to what you are writing

compact prawn
#

hmm never thought of the hearing approach

#

recently i've just been randomly swapping things around just trying to guess if it ends up better as i don't know what i'm going after really

glossy kettle
#

Reading it out loud does wonders for your brain’s ability to comprehend if it makes sense outside of your head.

#

It separates what you know you’re trying to write vs what you actually wrote.

kind scaffold
#

i used to use paraphrasing tool in the past but i dont really use it now

#

hemingway editor is great it tells you issues with readability in your writing

glossy kettle
#

or Oni, or AI cat, or space lizard, etc.

compact prawn
#

but no blobbo? dem

kind scaffold
#

yeah definitely the most important thing with fanfic is making the characters act like the actual characters

compact prawn
#

not the characterization SoniiMmm

kind scaffold
#

important

#

dont make me tap the sign

compact prawn
kind scaffold
#

if you wanted to write characters doing what you want them to do then you'd be making original works

#

people read fanfic because they want to see characters they love doing stuff, if those characters aren't accurate then the readers are not reading fanfic, they are reading an original work with the wrong labels slapped on, and that makes people not want to read it

#

if you're ever unsure you can always ask for beta readers, do more research on the characters, etc

compact prawn
#

That's a big sign to tap

kind scaffold
#

the sign more or less reads "dont make readers go 'they would not fucking say that'"

compact prawn
#

Back to the writing board it is

kind scaffold
neat halo
kind scaffold
#

it dont hurt to cross reference or ask for beta readers

#

omega strikers wiki has everyone's voicelines you can read and listen to

#

and backstories and trivia

#

and the comics for the ones that have em

neat halo
#

True, I’m currently writing Zentaro’s backstory right now… and I wanted to emphasize a massive change between him before leaving home to him after leaving home, so I made him sound like an innocent, sort of proper kid with a lot of spunk who doesn’t have much edge

#

AiMi and Finii should be easier to write, though I might go around asking for beta readers

compact prawn
burnt cliff
#

she does-

#

it's just....not the best

compact prawn
#

who was her previous team? what did she do during her hiatus? why does she even like corestrike? how did she got into it? why is she rich?

young vessel
#

Best backstory: Rune tbh

young vessel
compact prawn
#

oh right modeling, woops

#

welp 1 question down

young vessel
#

Nah

#

2

#

Corestrike fun

compact prawn
#

idk, its weird how little we know about a member of the "main team"

young vessel
#

Anna the last one

#

Yeah

#

Ig she supposed to be kinda mysterious

#

Idk

#

I personally dislike her as a character tho

compact prawn
#

but Dubu also is mysteriuous, and evne then has more story associated to him

young vessel
#

Cuz he’s the best

compact prawn
burnt cliff
#

i always felt the luna/atlas story was the best but everyone has opinions

compact prawn
#

i'm on the demon drive train, but most characters have something going on for them (except Estelle)

young vessel
#

#1 story thing im deadset on and will never change my opinion of is that Demon Drive backstory/personality/lore is infinitely overrated

#

Obv their backstory is not bad, but its just wayyyyy too overrated

#

Also, as a Clarion fan, am salty cuz how rigged that one event was

#

Just with how high popularity got them

compact prawn
#

onis 2 stronk

young vessel
#

No

#

Bad timing cuz they literally just released Mako

compact prawn
#

I have an opposite effect with Nao's lore, I don't want to know much about her backstory, but rather how her story would eventually unfold

young vessel
young vessel
#

Its mysterious backgrounds that have a developing story

#

Pretty much every other story is concluded

compact prawn
#

idk about that one

#

Atlas and Luna are still parentless

#

Rune still has Obscura

young vessel
#

I said pretty much SoniiMmm

young vessel
#

Its a good, explanatory background, it’s mysterious, and it has good lore/plot setup

compact prawn
young vessel
#

By concluded i mean like cant really do much else story-wise

#

Juliettes is concluded

#

Kai is mostly done

#

Dubu is not concluded

#

All Estelles can do is beat Kai

#

Atlas and Luna isnt concluded

#

Juno is mysterious but hard to develop

#

Drekar is concluded

compact prawn
#

Juno wants ice cream

young vessel
#

Rune isnt

#

X has no story

compact prawn
#

How is Drek'ar's concluded?

young vessel
#

Era is pretty much concluded, but still a lot to do

young vessel

juli's story ends with her losing

Aimi is concluded

#

Asher is barely a story

young vessel
#

Obv there can be

#

Ok i messed up

#

Concluded was a bad word to use

burnt cliff
young vessel
#

What i meant was there isnt much to do with their stories

young vessel
#

All she doing now is playing corestrike for money

#

Zentaro has a lil bit left

burnt cliff
#

i forget is there a reason shes playing-

young vessel
#

All of clarion corp is still juicy plot

burnt cliff
#

like a valid reason

compact prawn
#

Asher plays for the mone

young vessel
burnt cliff
#

oh so shes a criminal

#

makes sense

young vessel
#

DD has story left but its so rigidly defined by their backstories its hard to do other stuff with it

#

Finii is pretty much done

#

So yeah

compact prawn
#

When did Finii's parents finally recognize her?

young vessel
#

Only ones with really cool stuff to do is maybe Dubu, Atlas/Luna, Rune, and Clarion Corp ppl

young vessel
compact prawn
#

then its not concluded SoniiMmm

young vessel
#

Its not concluded, but theres not much potential

its not that i hate estelle-
she's just boring

she just doesn't have much going on

Thats what I corrected myself to

#

Not that its concluded

burnt cliff
#

theres not really a character i hate tbh

young vessel
#

But that its boring or linear story

young vessel
#

And somewhat Kai

burnt cliff
#

it took me forever to realize octy is a nerd
it clicked finally two days ago

young vessel
#

Kai is Estelle but delivers his lines with a funny tone and has a better backstory

#

Octavia and Estelle are just both way too snobby

burnt cliff
#

snobby nerd lol-

young vessel
#

Kai is snobby but slightly funnier about it

young vessel

The combination sucks

#

But like

#

Era >>>>>>>>

Those two are just

Been a while y'all. I have once again finished something. This one's Datablade. Covers some Ai.Mi and Zentaro banter designed to portray what I imagine to be some very hectic early days of their rooming together.
