Author has written 5 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh. I don't think I've edited my profile for a very long time. Ah, oops. I am a ginger twit who prefers doing nothing to something and can't seem to get off of tumblr. Bad me. It's been over two years since I started this account and published my first fanfic which I'm currently finding horrid and will probably toss as soon as I can get myself to do it. As for my other stories, two of them are oneshots that I'm quite proud of, though Coldwas supposed to be continued in another one shot. Funny story really... I had a dream once concerning Yami, and he was either dead or missing. Rei, from whose point of view I was dreaming, was at his house looking around in his room. I remember that she owed him something, so I wrote Coldto show what she owed him for. I wanted to continue that and write what I dreamed about, but I never got to it. My bad. Encounter is still getting favorites. I'm going to edit it soon so that the dialogue isn't so... ick. Otherwise I'm still really happy with it. Games, Memories, and Returning Kings. ... Yeah. There was going to be a continuation on it. I had the true and utter intention of finishing it eventually. But it fell apart and I can hardly remember how I was going to continue it. There are bits and pieces of it floating around in my brain, but I only remember the ending, and it's so corny that I feel like it would cheat everybody out of what they read. So since I'm probably never going to finish it, here's what I remember of the ending. Tink figures out why she can't remember anything, and that was because she somehow crossed worlds and into the Yugioh-verse and somehow ended up in a body that resembled her. That body was supposed to have died in a fire, which is why nobody bothered looking for her. Her name? Esi. (That involves a whole other OC that I was going to write about and put as the lady who raised Atem as a child and that's all I'm going to say because ack it's too long and heartbreaking and I just can't). So Tink, with the help of her new friends, fights the inner spirit of Esi for rights to the body. Tink, knowing she that she doesn't belong, surrenders the duel in tears because Atem had just become her boyfriend (oh my god did I really do that). Tink then disappears and wakes up in a hospital surrounded by her own family and flips out because nobody knows anything about Yugi or Atem or Anzu or anything like that. Then some guy who works at the hospital comes in after hearing about this crazy ginger spluttering nonsense about his favorite TV show comes in and introduces himself as (wait for it) Adam. Guess what? He looks an awful lot like Atem (besides the freaky hair). Instant romance. And they somehow find out how to contact the characters and tell them that Tink is okay and whatnot and that's it. Oh my god it sounds even worse than it did in my head. Yeah I think I'm going to delete that. All of my focus is now directed to Just Let Me Drink My Tea. I love Ren and I love the characters and this is something that I can stick with. The plot is simple and all I have to do is watch the show and figure out how to make it interesting in between episodes. No, I'm not writing full duels. Will Ren be watching them? Yes. Will she be paying attention to the important aspects and try to figure out how the strategies work? Yes. Will she actually pay attention to every word and every move down to the last special effect? No. I relate it to watching a sports game. I only know something good has happened when someone has scored a goal, and most of the time I'm talking to other people watching the game too. So there. Anybody interested in me writing a Puzzleshipping fanfic? I am. But it's not likely to happen since there's always a death involved. Why am I such a fictional sadist. Writing Corner! As often as I can remember, I'm going to put writing tips here. Because I sometimes have little revelations as I write and read over my past fanfics (at the moment, they all sounds horrible in my head). Anyway. You do NOT have to write from your perspective all the time, but you DO have to write from the perspective of the character you're writing from. Ex- Don't think, "What would I do in this situation?" No. Don't do that unless the character is similar to you. Instead, "What would -insert name- do in this situation based on his/her personality, past actions, etc?" You DON'T HAVE to write about every single little detail in so much detail that it's a bad reflection of Tolkien's writing style. Be vague sometimes. Like, "That morning we had breakfast and went about our ways." Just keep the story going, right? Stream-of-consciousness writing is fun and easy to write, as well as artistic by different means, but it doesn't always give the right picture to the reader, who might get bored. Conversely, it's also boring to just stick with dialogue and setting description. Happy mediums, people. Oh, before I forget- GRAMMAR. GRAMMAR. GRAMMAR. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR. Unless the dialogue belongs to a character that doesn't use good grammar, I repeat, always check your grammar. A fun way to start off a fic or a chapter or whatever is to start in the middle of action. Is it an intense action piece? Start in the middle of some battle. Is it fic about strategy? Start in the middle of a chess game or something related. Really, it can be anything. I pride myself in my current story that it starts in the middle of a grocery shopping trip. Not really exciting, but I don't think it's completely boring is it? Another way of looking at the above is don't start off a story with a backstory. Tolkien does this sometimes and I want to cry I'm so bored. He probably does it in a way that makes his fans interested, like in The Children of Hurin (positive I spelled that wrong) when he simply wrote the history concerning the characters, but ack I can't handle it. There are so many fanfics that begin explaining why their OC is so tragic (I am at fault for originally introducing Ren's tragic backstory in the first chapter. Bad me.) Don't do that. The reader can find out the backstory with hints along the way in later chapters. My way of doing it is waiting until other characters find out. Maybe not the best way but it's the simplest for me. Figure out what your style is and stick with it. I like to read other stories and find aspects of their writing that I like and use it, but I don't copy their style. (I'm using me as an example because that's the only example I have really, I'm not the best role model). Anyway, your style is yours, and if you can modify it to where you think it's perfect and portrays everything to reader that you want to portray, keep it. |
