![]() Author has written 11 stories for Legend of Zelda, and Star Fox. Is there really anything to say about me? Updates may be slow (like a few months apart) as I am in the process of rewriting massive portions of CoaFA and constructing massive outlines for an entire multiverse worth of characters, stories, abilities, etc (W-what? Bit off more than I could chew? Whatever makes you say that?). 3/7/2019: In other news, I have a Discord server now for... some reason... Anyway, if you want you can go check it out, share some memes, fanart, or fanfic recommendations, talk to the few other people that aren't me (or talk to me), etc. then feel free to - (continues murmuring unintelligibly). Anyway: https : // discord. gg/ ykHZxc7 (remove the spaces). And, if you're interested in a server revolving around Super Smash (because why wouldn't you be?) then I recommend joining Super Smash Prose. Is a server for writing fics about everybody's favorite punching game (yeah nobody cares about Mortal Kombat or Tekken). https: // discord . gg/yPmJzwN Note: remember to remove the spaces, otherwise it won't work. If you aren't interested in servers and just want to yell at me for whatever reason, then here's my Discord ID: Ebony McCloud#6415 Completed Works: -Of Mothers and Sons -A Different Kind of Normal -Words in the Silence Works in Progress: -CoaFA Revised(top priority) Note: Will eventually replace the original Champions of a Fallen Age -On Wing and a Prayer (as I feel the need) -Star Fox: Legion Planned Fics: -A Huntress and Her God of Death -Kid Icarus -By Book, Blade, and Seal of Flame -The End of All Things Possible fics (Way, way in the future): -RWBY Rewrite -Legend of Korra Rewrite A rant about reviews (as they are a bit of a sore spot for me): -First off, I do not moderate guest reviews for the most part. So long as they are story relevant, non-destructive, aren’t accidental repeats, and/or make me laugh, I let them stay. I will also respond to guest reviews, however, do know that I try to keep it to 1-2 sentences as best I can. This is because people who follow the story get an email that shows them the word count of the chapter and I don’t like the idea of them getting an email that says there are 10,000 words but only 6,000-7,000 words are actual content. -Please do not leave a review asking for an update. It's not going to make an update magically come faster. If you really want to know how things are progressing, you can send me a PM or message me through Discord or Twitter or something like that. -Please do not expect me to change my story based on your likes and dislikes. For instance, you being "disturbed" that I replaced Wolf Link with a wolf named Midna is not my problem. If anything, I will be annoyed by how unnecessary your choice of descriptors is. That isn’t to say your opinions are invalid, but there is no way I can make everyone happy, so I am going to tell the story that I want to tell and you can like or dislike it as you will (note: this does not necessarily apply to constructive criticism). Also, do not confuse disliking something and sharing that as constructive criticism as they are not necessarily the same thing. -If you wish to make a criticism, please make sure you’ve read. Don’t say something like “your characters are flat” and then turn around and say that your opinion might change on a more complete read through. That’s actually quite insulting as the message I am getting is that you don’t feel my story is worth the effort it would take to help improve it. I am not asking you to spend 9 hours (I had someone do that on a single review), but please show me the minimum respect. -If you do have actual constructive criticism (a criticism that is based largely on the objective quality of the story) please be specific. saying something like “nearly a quarter of a million words and there is less characterization than the Harry Potter series,” is rude, as that is not necessary to what you’re trying to tell me. On the other hand, explaining to me that a lack of vivid imagery makes it difficult for readers to understand is not rude, it is helpful. I say this because often times a reader will make a comment like “your story is rushed” but won’t say anything more, even when I send them a PM asking for clarification. Do you mean one plot thread is rushed? Is more than one rushed? Are they all rushed? What does rushed even mean to you? Many words have several denotative and connotative meanings, so please explain what you mean, otherwise, I can’t gain anything from your review. Also, don't assign my writing a number out of 10 unless you can clearly articulate what that number means. Why am I not a 9 or 10? Is it personal preference, or is there an objective flaw that causes an issue? -Do not tell me what I "should" do. Do not tell me that Dorephan "should" carry Daruk across the Reservoir, as that creates several contradictions. I am not interested in creating plot holes that I'll have to ex machina my way out of, nor am I interested in creating extremely contrived scenarios that serve no plot purpose and actively work against the characters as I have set them up. |
