Fanfiction / Re: Things That Annoy You in Fanfiction
« on: October 23, 2014, 01:29:08 AM »
OCs can work if done well imo. There was a Love Hina fanfiction I read a while back with an OC as one of the main characters, and he felt good to read. What an OC needs to do is not try to surpass the main cast, but be able to work with them and the world they are in. If the canon cast can work with the OC and not just the other way around, then that's a good thing.

Also, limits. OCs need limits or people will feel they are overpowered and are Mary Sues. I don't mean simple limits like how a female mary sue is only at her strongest for three minutes in a fight or can only use her power 10 times in her life or something like that, but something that prevents her/him from being the most powerful being in existence. Sometimes a weakness that a weaker character/characters can take advantage of in a fight to overcome them, or a weakness in they're personality that isn't easily overcome.

If a first chapter is really bad, it's safe to assume a writer may not improve much within the story.

Sometimes, people hope it can improve. Everybody hopes a fic does that if its premise is exciting.

Wow. Because the first thing we gotta have for the beginning of the fic is the clichéd bath scene with many women.

You're pulling that out this early Lantz?

Got my vote in for Lancer. Bro as hell, and really could have had more moments to shine if Nasu let him. Why is it that most of the scenes he shows up in, he's being awesome?

Since I was sleeping after Lantz gave me an answer, I'll finally respond to what he said to my questions...

You just danced around my questions. All you really said was that the Dragon needs someone to defend him. You won't even build up the dragon's character, or give a better explanation of your dragon's character.

Q. Why does it feel like it needs to be protected all of a sudden?

Q. If you're writing the dragon's dialogue, what's his personality like? You said that minor characters should have a better spotlight. Could you flesh out your dragon focus?

Q. If you wrote your world from before CM3, why didn't you write your world around it?
 
You could've kept updating your world as Nasu updated his, and establish your world around the loopholes Nasu had to create your world. Hell, Run could still be the head of MA if you create a future event that was plausible enough to allow her to be head of the MA (despite barthemeloi, mega 2k magus, all other competitors for the position).

GUISE GUISE! remember he's got magic. He could probably shape shift. He could look like whatever he wants and since he's got so much mana, he probably doesn't even need to look like what he's supposed to look like.

Q. Could you better explain to us how the souls are bonded?

Q. What prevents Satoshi's soul from being overridden by the Dragon's soul, as a powerful natural being would have a far greater weight in its soul than its host?

Q. What benefits does the dragon gain from bonding with Satoshi?

Q. What is the dragon's name (if it doesn't have a name a human can say, what does your cast call it? Just dragon?)

7
Because Satoshi is such a gentleman.

OK. Instead of Avalon making him invincible all the time, its a powerful healing factor instead, with the option of activating it like his mom to protect AN AREA. That way, he still has Avalon, he's still tough, but now he can actually get hurt (allowing for more drama in fights and risks on his end), and he can use it to directly protect others, albeit briefly.

Q. Will you ever consider making any changes to how your verse and characters are? We're not asking for your verse to bend itself over to our will, but maybe making a few changes won't make you a sellout.

Gray was honestly trying to critique you nicely and now you've made him lose confidence in you. People here are asking you questions, but they barely get an answer due to how you don't want to give out anything more than vague answers. A lot of people here are getting tired of that, and want better explanations for why your characters and setting are the way they are and how they are different from how canon is.

I know that changing the rules to your verse is hard for you, but maybe take some of the others' words into consideration? They're mostly snarky due to how much of the rules and character personalities have to be bent for your verse to work.

Whoops. Made a mistake on the Thread. Lantz, can't you just switch to a different sub topic? You arguing with Names is eventually going to lead to what happened with Arch. You are in charge of this thread, and you have all the power. Just agree to disagree like Gray said.

I will agree with you that FFXIII sucks. Seriously, its only like the older final fantasies, but sped up. The game wasn't as ground breaking as I expected, and their old trailers lied.

Cuz SURE, we can shoot our enemies with our guns! I mean, Lightning, you got a GUNblade, why not shoot the guys who are shooting you?! What are you, AXE COP?! Then get an AXE! Also, why is my BLACK mage/gunner have more base health than my OFFENSIVE FRONT LINE WARRIOR?!

Q. say your opponent is not a fairy, nor have akashic powers or mystic eyes of death (it shouldn't have worked in the first place), what can Satoshi's opponents do to prevent Satoshi from completely kicking their asses?

Perhaps talking about BDSM and rape victims here might not be a good idea. There was a bit of outrage earlier on this thread. As for your statement June, I'm not much into the BDSM, so I can't really say anything about that, though that does sound like Sakura from HF.

Link to whip it good! Sword.

Arch, most likely it's magic to allow it to be useful. Problem is, you need it to be magic to be useful.
