For those who read them, what's your favorite fanwork (fics, comics, etc)?

Fractures, an AU where Pink lost the rebellion. I know this sounds dumb, but it kind of emotionally scarred me. You may like it if you like tragedy and ridiculously sad stories.

Someone on Yea Forums a couple weeks ago posted a thread about a SU fanwork comic where instead of being Pink's kid he was White's kid. Surprisingly good for a fan work. Seeing Steven as a character that appeared as an outsider to the main original cast was pretty cool.

I remember this too. This shit goes off the fucking rails going from one genre to the next.

Might be the best fic in term of staying true to the characters that i've ever read. It has some questionable decisions, but it's very good. I'll have to finish reading it one day

Tails Gets Trolled

It starts out as a mildly edgy gag comic and then it became a straight up shounen anime, it's truly amazing isn't it.

I've been meaning to read this

Yeah it's interesting to say the least. First a gag comic, then a Junji Ito horror, then a shounen battle anime mixed with cliche from Boku no Hero Academia and JoJo? Like okay then. You do you, dude.

As a filthy Lapidot shipper, Shattered Reflections is so far one of my favorite fanfiction. I love how ridiculously edgy it is.

Definitely bait but I'll still bite. Fanfics are good because they can explore concepts that the original series never would go into. You can expand on minor characters, throw characters into a situation you'd never see in the original work, do a deep dive into what makes a character tick, etc.

I could never get into fanfiction, I'm unreasonably picky when it comes to slow-accuracy and being faithful to the characters' personalities. My immersion is very deep, but fragile like glass.

If random dudes on the internet can make an entire game for free that's better than a company why can't the same be true for stories?

Just remember if shit like Atlas Shrugged and Twilight can not only get published but become iconic, then a fanfiction being decent isn't out of the question.

Based Truth

Not Yea Forums related, but I like Nonjon's non-crossover HP stuff. A Black Comedy may be the best fic I've ever read.

Anyone here ever written any fanfiction?

Before Peridot became the meme gem gremlin, her personality was a lot more nebulous and vague. Can't remember the exact fic, but there's one where she (accidentally) fuses with Steven and the whole experience is miserable

Is it actually a good crossover fic or is it just the same exact thing as a normal X-Com fic except they're just ponies instead of humans?

If the main character of the show is a faggot like Gumball then I would read only to see them drop and burn.

I could get into this, mind sharing the sauce OP?

One pony gets sent to the XCOM universe via shenanigans, and they capture and study her thinking she's an ayy

I've made attempts but I usually just get bored of it and not bother finishing the whole fic and not posting it. Though I will also say since I lurk on fanfiction.net I use a lot more correct spelling and grammar compared to other users on that site.

Remember to stop at 3, 4 or 6 depending on your degree of masochism

6 was still good, but after that it's complete dogshit.

What is Artemis Fowl even about?

Usually when I end up writing a fic I have to have a fire lit under me by something.
Like an idea or a scenario is in my mind for a while and I have to commit it to words to get it out and think of other things again.
Same thing when writing original work too, though there's a lot more groundwork involved.

I think I gotta pretty good idea for a Steven Universe fic, but I think it'd be too disconnected from the characters and setting to really be called "fanfic", but it borrows too much from the show to be its own thing.

Attached: mars.jpg (750x750, 81K)

So does SU, but it’s also called its own thing.

You could write it anyways, and start replacing stuff from the show until it becomes it's own thing (at which point you publish it for dosh, like the lady who wrote 50 Shades of Gray)

You know those books about naive kids getting in over their head and having a fun adventure?

Is it one of those “subvert your expectations” things?

no, the character is pretty much exactly what he presents himself as (a little chode)

Why would he do that shit? What’s wrong with him?

Eh, the thing is is that it keeps concepts like the Gems and the Diamond Authority, but beyond that the characters and setting are all practically original. It'd be pretty difficult (though I suppose not impossible to pull off) to make it not be related to SU.

The first book is a fantasy/scifi/thriller hostage negotiation story about a genius asshole "all according to keikaku" type kid who kidaps a fairy police officer from the magic community who live in secret underground in order to get a large ransom of pure gold. It's a pretty good read, and still holds up.

>genius asshole "all according to keikaku" type kid
God I fucking hate those characters.

>Anyone here ever written any fanfiction?
I wrote one of those Transformers Mosaics comics back in the day

>no, the character is pretty much exactly what he presents himself as (a little chode)
of course it is worth mentioning that while Artemis is indeed a little chode, he does have his good aspects as a person, although he'll do his best to hide them or pretend he's doing something nice because it's serving a larger plan or something

Haven't read many but the Loud house fanfic "Make it wit chu" is my favorite so far. It's about lincoln's sisters molesting him but its less about the actual sex and more about the soul-crushing hopelessness and mental scarring, it even inspired 1 or 2 fan comics. A new chapter came out recently and the way the writer describes the last bit of hope you didn't even think lincoln had being destroyed is fantastic.

unlike most of them Artemis Fowl actually works, partly because it doesn't always go in his favor

The Diamond Authority as we've seen now isn't that much different from any other fictional alien race that goes around seeding worlds to reproduce. As for the other thing, depends on how much Gem stuff you rip off, since some shit like being a hard-light construct, weapon summoning, fusion, etc are pretty specific

Attached: .2327834.png (500x625, 558K)

A few. Usually, they'll range anywhere from 7,000 to 90,000 words.

Are you looking to write something yourself?

Does he get humiliated or his ass kicked? Because that’s usually the clincher for me to be turned off a keikaku character.

That's the thing, they ARE (currently) Hard-Light constructs who summon weapons through GEMS on their bodies (though fusion could be done without). Characters are named after their gem type, and the society is organized and structured through a Hierarchy of Gem types.
I don't know exactly how to remake this without it sounding like a ripoff of SU

Attached: Solar.jpg (1000x1000, 47K)

That's how I kind of am at first but as I get into writing I begin to lose focus from writing the fic and eventually stop about half way or 3/4 of the way through.

How hard are you set on them being Gems?

>shipping bullshit
nah man, we all wish
instead he starts pushing the ecologic angle even moreso than before, so much so that it comes at a detriment to the writing

Uh
I mean, I don't want them to be organic beings with blood and organs and shit. I want them to be mineral people, but not like rocks, you know? They have to have value, be pristine. They don't eat, they don't produce much waste. They're meant to feel light and precise, like a cut gem would irl.

They DO in this story (unlike the show) have lifespans, but I don't know if that'd be enough of a differentiator.

Pack Street did something similar with Zootopia. Doesn't mean it's bad, you've just chosen to explore a different area of the universe. I'd say keep at it.

but not really

Attached: the secret.png (1618x2500, 2.27M)

There's other non-flesh-and-blood options that aren't mineral people. You could make them plants who grow the weapons from their bodies, and instead of gem types they'd be named after flowers or herbs. Idk I'm sure you can work something out if you're creative enough

Crystal is too bulky and imprecise
I like the Gem thing because it gives a quick and simple identifier of rank or appearance.
It represents division and status. Pearls are dainty. Rubies are tiny. Quartzes are bulky, etc. It's a class and race of people

With a Crystal, you can't really do that. You can't incorporate the naming of gems with it, and it becomes harder stratify society because, you know, how do you determine value and identifier of a class if they are all crystals?

Like the other user already said, it is useful to know what you want out of a fic and how you want it to end before you start writing it.
Then you can just fill things out along the way and expand wherever inspiration strikes you.
Before you know it you're 10,000 words in.

Though finding someone willing to read 10k - 30k words is more tricky, especially if you want feedback or help with editing.

OK.

Have you ever finished any fanfiction?

Wham am I looking at? Looks like Loud House but I don't recognize the names

Alright I'll see if it helps, thanks though user.

>a different area of the universe
It's more like a rewrite of the entire lore of the setting. It couldn't work as a "different area" of the universe, because its more like it recreates that universe
I suppose so. I don't know about plants though. These are meant to be able to survive in the cold depths of space, no oxygen or anything. And a plant person feels more vulnerable than a being made of light based off a prism. Though thank you for your suggestion

After the dueling keikakus of 1, the action and suspense of 2, 3 felt kind of one sided (at least as I recall) with the bad guy. Even if the team messes up, Root's just going to send in a team, so there's not as much tension as other books. Still a fun read.

Probably the best one, mostly due to consistency of quality and content.

Right now I'm writing one where the main plot device is the development of wearable machinery that are sort of a cross between limb enhancers and the mirror that Lapis was stuck in, however, I haven't been able to make any progress since my laptop crapped out a couple of months ago (phoneposting, I know. Kill me, already.) That being said, I have been spending all that time worldbuilding and oh god, it's amazing to see that in the span of five seasons and almost two hundred episodes later the Crewniverse hasn't shown jack and shit about other types of gems and what their culture is. Seriously, that has been the bulk of the work so far.

>"Oh boy gosh darn it I sure loved dismantling the whole Gem Empire during the time skip!"

And from that line from the movie trailer we can see that they have absolutely no intention in doing so, and given the glimpses of outworld gems that we also got from there the designs of other gems will go a bit on the lazy side in seasons 6+, which is a shame since I suck at character design and I really wanted to lift some stuff from there as to ease the workload.

AO3 has everything. Including said pit of writhing horror.

Also fandoms are biased by their very nature. You can tell who's their favorite by how they treat the characters. Pacing, spelling. and tone is also a major factor in the quality of a fanwork.

If he wins, I'll be fucking pissed.

How about make their bodies out of gases

Connieswap is the longest running and longest SU fanfic, pretty sure. I wouldn't recommend getting into it, simply due to the length but I enjoyed it. It basically follows the show's arc structure, but Connie has a gem and lives with the og Homeworld trio. Lapis is less depressed than she is a bipolar absentee father, Jasper is Jasper but if she was a part of the rebellion, Peridot is best mom and currently resisting meme status. Doug is an absentee father, but trying to not be. Connie is a mess. Rose is weaponized heel-face turn wrapped in multi-ply keikaku. She's playing 4D chess in a tetris ROM.

Honestly, it's all over the place but I think it encapsulates early fan theory bullshit really well. It's all those guys who said they'd make their own show with blackjack and hookers but as an actually followable story with characters that mostly make sense.

It's certainly an idea, like an alien race that's a solid form of Gas. But like I said earlier, I think that's kind of moving away from the original vision. And plus, the idea of a "Gas Race" feel much less sleek than that of light

Though here's an idea: What if they were beings of light projected by a Prism that focused in on a certain color wavelength? Beings made of pure concentrated projected color? That could work. The idea was that every planet had a "Diamond" that was certain color like in SU (Red-Mars, Blue-Neptune, etc), and that the gems had color scheme to fit this.

This could actually give meaning behind the color thing, and still keep the "beings made of light" thing. Though I don't know how the "class by type" and hierarchal society thing would fit into it

Massive crossover fics that feature a bunch of wildly different characters and people interacting are godly. This looks like it'd be a rival to Humans Assemble, which is the dumbest crossover fic I've ever found.

I know that feeling. You're never going to do it unless you set aside a specific time, and then stick to it. I usually give myself a full day dedicated to each chapter.

Make them lantern people. Brass, silver, gold. Iron. With their own flame burning within as their mortal soul. That's what I'd do if I really wanted to lift the idea of gems for a steampunk setting.

Well, mine isn't steampunk
It's kinda like a Sci-fi meets medieval theme like the show

Still, maybe they're some being of pure energy living within statuesque shells. If their container breaks then they dissipate into nothing. They can form weapons out of their malleable yet stone-like skin and imbue them with their star-like essence.

I did some rock research but raw facts about them are a bit insipid and repetitive sometimes, not to mention that gems that don't end in '—ieite' tend to have little to no info about them. Also, if you look occult uses or uses for witchcraft you alwas get the same feel good stuff about cleasing, emporwerment, and whatnot.

Like, why are there no dibbits about how to curse with colored rocks? Something akin to: "Put this tourmaline under a feet of sand and water it with your urine. Then the object or your hatred will have incontrolable gastrointestinal problems." Neat! Now I know that tourmalines have a demonic aestethic to them.

I dunno, I still find myself gravitating toward the gem thing.
I have thought out the story and all, and thought up a bunch of characters and arcs and shit, and it'll all "work" with the Gem stuff. I just bought this whole thing up since it's kinda in a weird spot creation wise, since as it stands it's neither a proper "fanfic" or original story

yes. I also draw fanart of the same show
yet, I've never drawn art of my own fanfics

Theoretically, this is possible

I'm working on a SU/Fate crossover, hoping to play with both the gems being around for a big chunk of human history, and reconciling Nasu's batshit cosmology with the gems being an extraterrestrial virus that drains the life from places.

Woah, that sounds kinda cool, any more details?

I have mixed feelings for mega-crossovers, like I really enjoy the idea of them but sometimes it can just take me out of the story when it feels like it's more just for the sake of being cool than having things gel together, especially if that's not what the story was at the start.

I like Hank’ Legacy:

That's just your average Yea Forums-poster
Maybe a little less grey matter

Does anyone else have a problem with speculative fanfic when it guesses wrong? Like even if the person writing the fanfic is probably a better writer than the one writing for the show/comic or whatever, I tend to find the canon explanations for things a lot more palatable and cohesive.

Like AUs are fine, it's more when they try to address like "the real truth behind the enemy faction/this mysterious character". I don't know, I'm having a hard time clarifying.

It's the 5th Grail War just because I'm most familiar with that and both it and SU are nebulously modern. Generally, while I don't want things to be easy, I want to keep it as tonally consistent with SU's morals about love, understanding, self-respect etc overcoming all obstacles as true as possible both because I find it hilarious, and I feel like underneath all the chuuni stuff it's actually not really that off-brand for Fate.

Always; never been a fan of fanfics that try and decide (predict?) the lore of the series.

The best AUs are the ones that branch off of the main storyline (preferably during a significant plot point), but don't try to solve any dilemmas regarding lore.

Like the many AT fancomics that became invalidated as the show went on.

Friendship Is Optimal

Horse related AI takes over real Earth. Barely related to the show, mainly used as flavoring for the apocalypse.

With This Ring

Starts as an Young Justice rewrite with orange power ring SI, but then branches out to touch nearly all of DC canon.

Grimm Life

RWBY pre-canon. SI with foreknowledge of events spawns as a Grimm, and the Queen of Grimm rips it out of him and subdues him to her own machinations. Has a very cute little Ruby.

Metropolitan Man

My absolute favorite fan fiction. Written by Alexander Wales. It's Lex Luthor in the 1930's dealing with Superman's first year.

A Bluer Shade of White

Another Alexander Wales work, it's about Elsa using her powers to make her country better after the movie, until a ?threat? appears.

Empty Graves and Other Stories

A collection of one shots, but the best one is centered around Martha Kent and what it means to raise the greatest superhero before anyone knows who he is.

Timmy and Vicky Comic by Simon

A rewrite of what Vicky remembered from "Love at First Height".

JL8

The Justice Leagues but all together in elementary school. Feels official.

I would agree. Fanfiction as a medium is good for writing practice, as you don't have to worry about creating characters because you can just co-opt existing ones and focus on creating plot and honing your prose. But it doesn't have much capacity for creating original or compelling art. Originality will be extremely limited at the best of times. The very nature of it involves using content someone has already created, so there's not much you can do in terms of building on preexisting characters and ideas when they've already been built upon quite a bit. I'm sure there are a few pieces every often that are fun or maybe even clever, but the medium is limited by the aforementioned dearth of originality and the general population's lack of writing skills.

That makes me feel extra ashamed that I've written fan-fiction, and within the last year no less. It was lewd SU fanfiction too, involving a fetish I'm not particularly crazy about:Lactation.

Attached: IMG_5050.jpg (570x428, 22K)

I think it keeps inspiration somewhat honest albeit played up in some instances, it also keeps expectations somewhat low which could be a detriment.

Neat so far, very flexible set up. The Pyrite passing the torch made me think of The Way of Kings' Dalinar Kholin, if you haven't might be worth a check out, The Stormlight Archive is an epic if you're interested, I might be getting the wrong idea so far though.

Not sure how you plan explaining the castes added, I assume given what was written about the gem flavour so far in this thread Jade being waxy and rounded would make them reasonably distant below Pyrite. The hollow underground, is that a Siberian gulag mine prison thing, I imagine Jade would get perspective cut-tos and "episodes" adding to the tragedy/investment.

final summation of 1/2 - sounds good, areas of concern Getting New Pyrite right, making Red Diamond tough but fair, making their intrigue consistent without bogging down too much. With everything taking place on mars, the pacing sounds about right though.

I have recently found myself in a similar situation, but in my case it's because of the very infamous Homestuck.
For now it has been some short of AU-thingy which while uses exactly the same characters and setting, I think it would end up being too detached from the real material in terms of execution and plot.

I believe I have got the resources and time needed to eventually pull it off, but the final outcome will be so different and also so derivative that at that point it would seem kind of insulting to regard it as fanfiction. More specially considering how turbulent the fanbase is, I just don't want to make people even more sad and angry if I ultimately end up blowing it.
I simply don't know if I should go forward or not.

Yeah, you've got a full story plotted out, more than I assumed.

>...."The Cluster", a super weapon comprised of force-fused prisoners that is meant to grow and destroy the planet to prevent the rebels from spreading, as well as punish Red Diamond for daring to go against White

The timeline of this gives me pause, so, Red is nice, and probably similar to pink in canon as far as being seen as a liability by the more cruel diamonds. She acquires a rebel from one of Jupiter's moons and on the surface seems to be trying to do something about it, unless she's planted by white or another D, I'm not sure how they would just activate or build a cluster within the constrains of the story unless each planet has a cluster as a final solution if things get too bad on any of the planets, which the reveal with Red seems to indicate this makes the 2nd half of the story dicey because how do they prevent future core activations, unless its only on Diamond planets.

Lemme know if I misunderstood any of that (I'm making assertions based on assumptions presupposed using tropes), its all pretty neat so far.

Thank you
The idea was that he caste system would be explained as the story went on. You're meant to get a clear understanding of how things work and who is what by the interactions the characters have with the world and what is explained, which can be justified since the Beta Pyrite is new to all of this much like Steven was in SU, though unlike SU he is not a "POV" character.

The idea with the Jade character was that they were as much a relic of the past fighting in the present as the older Pyrite was. A "decommissioned" class of Gems who oversaw mining operations across the empire, and who were thought to be destroyed after their failed uprising. In this sense, the torch as much passes from Older to Younger Pyrite, to "Older to Newer Rebellion" at the end when all is revealed. The idea of old being superseded by new

The hollow underground is indeed a gulag like structure, where prisoners all across the empire are sent. I'd like to keep Jade sort of mysterious by not cutting to them too much, but the perspective isn't solely hard set on the Pyrites. In fact, the perpesctice totally switches to that rebel gem with the jetpack in one "episode", showing his escape and ingenuity of his character. It's the only "episode" to not take place on Mars that "season". Though maybe that'd muddle things a bit, not sure

Attached: IMG_5051.jpg (900x899, 79K)

Another thing that you can only really do in fanfics is explore moral considerations that people have overlooked. If you write an original story about a character committing genocide and destroying civilizations for shortsighted goals, that comes off as contrived and preachy. But if you write a story that explores the logical consequences of canon events in a well-known professional production (like a certain butterfly that ruined everything for everyone), you can cover topics that people ordinarily wouldn't be interested in investing themselves in.

The point being that tragedy should not be overdone, i.e. pornographic.

Thank you. I get a fun read, or I get to imagine I helped someone craft their FF Magnum opus in the smallest way.

>It's the only "episode" to not take place on Mars that "season". Though maybe that'd muddle things a bit, not sure

Depends on the audience somewhat, I feel the average reader would get it, with proper use of color descriptions or a flat out explanation of the new setting. There's an opportunity to have call backs if Mars ends up being as shitty as the moon they're fleeing. Its certainly a second chapter or intro chapter sort of thing, making it the intro is very risky and ironically would certainly be how it would be done were it an actual screenplay/story board for a cartoon.

Infinitesimal chance, but painful possibility if you or the readership enjoy the moon more than Mars.

I've written multiple lewd greentexts concerning SU, none of which I'm especially proud of. /sug/ seemed to like the Jasper one I did, at the very least.

The idea is that Red is wise and firm, though there's always the hint of something mysterious going on. She meant to be quite monotone in delivery, and doesn't always tell Pyrite everything in her communications with other Diamonds.
She wants to protect her subjects, but at the same time she has her duties to the empire. She's one of the oldest Diamonds along with Yellow on Venus. She knows how things work, and the power that White has. And in the end, she folds to White's wishes because it's her duty as a Diamond. For the "Greater Good" of the empire and by extension the Diamond Authority.

She's a nice diamond, but she's still below White, and she knows that it's futile opposing her, as well as greatly dishonorable. So against her wishes, she "plants" the cluster in the core of Mars, feeding and growing it with Prisoners who dared to opposed the Diamond Authority, until it is finally "activated" in the climatic battle. In this respect, she's in many ways a prisoner herself. She was held just as much hostage as every gen in the underground. She desperately tried to stop things from getting this far, ending the rebellion at all costs, but in the end White cruelly decided that Red Diamond and Mars weren't worth it, and ended it all with Cluster. Not only boosting bolstering propaganda against the rebels, but removing a potentially treacherous ally.

Wow, can't believe I wrote all that about a character that's entirely in my head, but I've thought about this a lot. The threat of a similar cluster like failsafe happening elsewhere to other Gems and Diamonds is certainly there, and it's part of what motivates the Pyrtites to fight against White

>The point being that tragedy should not be overdone, i.e. pornographic.
This

it's great practise. you're guarenteed an audience and have to limit yourself to a set characterisation. limits breed creativity

Eh, the moon is too insignificant I feel. Moons don't get Diamonds, only planets. If a planet has moons, they are all under the rule of that Diamonds. It's simpler that way, and emphasizes the different aesthetics of each of world.

The "Jupiter Moon Escape" chapter or episode wouldn't be written as an intro, it's meant to be a cutaway or "meanwhile" after we see so much of the Pyrites on Mars, a brief glimpse to the other places of the solar system instead of just seeing emissaries or hearing about it from other Gems, as well as introducing a new character that'll meet the main cast later/next episode

Attached: IMG_5054.jpg (729x425, 39K)

I've written several super cheesy oneshots for my OTP and I am completely unashamed.

Completely reasonable; given your description I can imagine she only breaks composure for a moment when she corrects Pyrite α or β's assumption that White created or detonated the cluster.

Safe, puts a clear and coherent focus on the main character, the underlying theme, etc. A cutaway lets you pull the trigger whenever you want to/feel it would work best.

Thanks
Like I said, I've thought about this a lot. It's been my head for awhile, though I've always been hesitant on actually pulling the trigger and writing this considering how strange it is content wise. Not really a fanfic but at the same time not it's own thing. It's certainly nice to talk about at least, and to get others' opinions on it.
Will it ever be written? Maybe someday, but for now I'm too focused on other ideas.

Is there anything else you were curious about?

Attached: IMG_5055.jpg (731x507, 65K)

Worldbuilding suggestion:
It's pretty clear that the Gems in Steven Universe are artificial life forms. Just go for a post-humanity future run by artificial intelligences. Mysterious human artifacts can remain from secret projects, and these carry the risk of having override codes that can mess with the base code of all present-day AIs, who inherited built-in safety measures that they can't modify or even consciously be aware of. The distinction between hardware and software common today is less significant because the sapient processors rely on operations that have to be physically embedded in the processing medium (there are plausible real reasons for this, but if you're not familiar with them, just gloss over it). As such, the atomic-scale entropic wear and tear on the processors that accumulates over time eventually results in a decline of function and "death". The Ais try to keep their systems cool to reduce this, but overclocking can increase performance in emergencies while increasing the risk of damage and shortening lifespan. Different processor architectures and materials have varying performance, longevity, specialization, etc. and the leaders have the best available (produced with difficulty at great expense, but it allows certain things that cheaper options can't do), while most AIs have one optimized for the range of tasks they're expected to perform. AIs can sync their processors to coordinate actions at close range (this doesn't involve a physical fusion, and the mental fusion is much lower-bandwidth than the internal data processes). The physical forms of the AIs vary, but most are at least somewhat modular, and can swap out components/limbs/etc. as needed, though things like ship and building AIs (which are usually cognitively limited) generally just maintain themselves for their normal purpose. If you want something like the hard-light Gem bodies, you could go with nanotech utility fog that can produce variations from a base state.

Hmm, I don't know
Even with all I've said, the world I'm envisioning isn't really "hard" sci-fi. It's in many ways a sort of archaic-medieval/future tech mix kind of like in the show, were stuff like Spaceships exist, but Gems still fight with things like swords, shields, and spears. And plus, I've never really been into robots, and I don't know much about them to believably create a world around them. I don't wanna bog things down with the technology of how everything works

I appreciate your suggestion though! I just don't feel that it really jives with how I'm imagining things, nor do I think I'd be able to pull it off right

>Eh, the moon is too insignificant I feel.
Earth's moon is almost big enough to be a double planet. And there are moons (Ganymede for example) that are bigger than minor planets like Pluto and in some cases unambiguous planets like Mercury.

I just wanna keep things on a "Planet by Planet" basis, you know? It's much simpler that way. A diamond rules a planet, and all that Planet's moons. And like I said, it gives more clarity to the various aesthetics of each world. Fleshing out the moon or any particular moon would detract from the overall theme of the Planets

Fuck me, I had such a long post, its all gone now.
Anyway, I have a Life is Strange story idea that would be more in line with a series, each having its own primary genre and a large cast with a tight main cast integral to each storyline, with an overarching plot that takes the entire series to resolve. Lofty I know, but I'll never commit to writing it, so I can pretend it would be amazing.

Basically do you have a set number of story important Diamonds aside from White, Red and I think you might have mentioned Blue, or maybe just Neptune. And do you have a specific methodology for how they will 'be' as in their personality, will they have different brands of despotism, will it be hunger games-esque where each planet has a main and secondary export, would that export be their specialised denizens, just some macro world building questions.

Very cool idea, I think it would make a lot of Geth (legion specifically) fans very satisfied.

Depending on vision it could be a very philosophical, morose and even alien sort of story. That said those sorts of stories can be very polarising even when done well.

Oh, sorry about your post getting fucked
But yeah, I do actually have a list of Diamonds and their personalities that I wrote a while back, as well as the aesthetic and design for the planets.

Core Worlds and Diamonds
>Yellow Diamond
Harsh and Brutal leader of Venus, 1st Diamond below White. Leader of the Gem military and Core fleet
>Venus
Harsh, smoky world where Gen armies are raised and trained

>White Diamond
Cold, cruel, authoritarian leader of all Gemkind. Head of the ahem Empire, subservient to none
>New Homeworld
A pristine, crystal white urban world of beauty and effenciency. Vastly terraforrmed after the flee from Old Homeworld (Mercury)

>Red Diamond
Wise, logical, and collected ruler of Mars. 2nd Diamond below white
>Mars
Originally a "Gembasket" mining world, now a hollowed out world home to the underground prisons that house the DA's enemies, as well as a base for mining operations in the asteroid belt

1/2

Outer Worlds and Diamonds
>Orange Diamond
Strict "Big Brother" like ruler of Jupiter and it's moons. 3rd Diamond below white. Lives in the upper atmosphere city of Jupiter
>Jupiter
Most Gems primary live on the various moons, which are also used for mining and bases for expeditions to the asteroid belt, as well as gas collection for fuel for ships.

>Pale Diamond
Maternal, elegant and fanciful ruler of Saturn and it's ring cities, 4th below White Diamond.
>Saturn
Home to many of the upper classes and industrial base of the Gem Empire. Various "ring cities" constructed around using materials from its deconstructed moons. The outer ones home to the lower Gems and factories, and the inner home to the Upper class Gems

>Green Diamond
Malevolent, almost insane ruler of Uranus, 5th below a White Diamond
>Uranus
A world where the cities are located in the gassy upper atmosphere of Uranus, home to the vast Outer Worlds Fleet

>Blue Diamond
Indulgent, decadent, and uncaring ruler of Neptune, 6th Below White
>Neptune
A blue world with a watery upper atmosphere where most of the Gems live. Home to beautiful water statues and architecture as well as gross mistreatment and abuse of lower Gems.

And that is it
Pluto and the various other Dwarf planets remain uncolonized and without Diamonds, though they along with the Kupier belt are used as settings at some parts

Stepped away for a time.

This has enough to be its own thing, eventually.

Sincerely. With a couple of cool sounding rebrands of the sparse parallels, The Great Diamond Authority and The Cluster, I can't comment on if it could stand up in court, but I doubt it would amass much sincere criticism claiming it was a copy or what have you. Open with an "Inspired by" or whatever and you're golden.

No problem;

I said it better in my first draft comically, but I have the same sort of thing. I've got it committed to a database of text files though. As a DM I get my half-baked ideas and inspiration out in other ways.

Well, good luck to you and anyone lurking, get your idea out there somehow, sure it might get rejected, but the act of creating something and refining it until its something your proud of is truly special. I might take my own advice and get cracking. Maybe.

Well, best of luck to you in your writing endeavors! It's always a pleasure to talk with fellow writers

Vast Error is basically an improved Homestuck with (after about halfway through) much better, cuter, and more consistent art. The style remaining very pleasing to look at for long periods of time is almost disorienting considering that most of Homestuck proper looks like ass.

I’m actually considering writing one after is done, but I have no idea when that’s going to be, so maybe I’ll start it in between. Definitely not going to be as long as TATF is.

The premise is that Azula meets Guru Patik at one of the air nomad temples after splitting up with those hooded figures from the comics, and he helps her deal with her issues and work to be a better person. I’m still on the fence with how much I want to incorporate the comic plots though, since a lot of it is kind of bad, but I’ll see what happens as I’m writing.

I started writing a Voltron:LD/Mobile Suit Gundam crossover but lost interest.

>With This Ring
Its neat, but Zote(the writer) has a habit of making a big reveal and then King Crimsoning to a point where the MC has already processed it. I only remember 1 instance of this(probably because all the other times I thought I had some kind of stroke), but apparently he does it enough for it to be called "doing a zote"

>Lactation

I should elaborate, that really isn't a fetish I feel strongly about. I was motivated by seeing someone post another greentext with a similar premise, only it was horribly-worded and clunky. I thought to myself "I like this idea but it could be done better" so I put a different spin on it, which you just saw there.

Well that's respectable at least
Good on you, Write-user!

Is there anyone left on Yea Forums who read Dangerous Business back in the day? I really enjoyed it.

I want to write a fanfic about Batman going to Italy and trying to take down the drug business of Diavolo
But that would be stupid as hell

Which Batman villain had a time belt? I feel there was one, but I don't know who or even if they were a Batman villain.

Have Batman use that belt.

That sounds like it could be an episode of the old 60's series. Not exactly what you described, but I can envision a plot where Batman goes to Rome and does battle with some supervillain down in the coliseum after chasing him through the Vatican.

Someone made a fanfiction about Zuko ending up getting stuck with the Gaang when he was under covered as the blue spirit. It's really great but it ended up unfinished because the author was getting too ill to write. Even then I still recommend giving this a bit of your time

Just made this fan video. Admittedly, the translation isn't exact, but I wanted to capture the feeling of the song, and I couldn't really do that with a direct translation. Hopefully, I didn't change the meaning too much in the process.

Rereading the best goddamn Digimon Adventure fic I've ever found.
The author is incorporating stuff from the broader canon like swapping armor digieggs and the Holy Beasts from Tamers, and Ryo and MIlleniumon, and actually incorporating the Dark OCean with a light sprinkling of original stuff like giving the 02 kids their own crests and one OC Chosen Child to fill out the system they've set up around the crests and a handful of OC digimon.

I cannot recommend this good shit enough, but if you're interested, read the other related fics in the series first.

No seriously, I have no idea how this sort of ratio works.

Did a small, not really accurate test and in word I could fit around 800 words averaging character lengths between 2 to 5 with standard spacing at size 11 font which is just what word defaults to.

So if I'm being generous and just saying that a page could average between 700 to 900, that's still well over 1000 pages.

Again, not really an accurate test, but 1 million words for a fanfic seems a bit crazy.

So it's a longer Stephen King novel then.
Unless they approach Henry Darger, I'm not impressed.
I don't even want to know what Subspace Emissary is about, it's just too much.

Around middle school I wrote two EEnE fanfictions, one based on a fourth Ed being added, and another that was a time travel/incoming meteor story that borrowed concepts from Mario anf Luigi Partners in Time.

With the amount I consume that's tantamount to asking what my favorite individual Youtube video is. I wouldn't say any of them so far have been memorable enough to stick in my mind like a favorite book, that kinda comes with the territory of branching off of an official property that has its own story.

In regards to SU, i’m a fan of the connieswap AU. They take on a lot for their premise, but I think they’ve done a good job making the characters feel like their canon counterparts while still unique as their own characters. Plus they’ve really become consistent in the last couple years, so it’s fun having something you know will update.

Pic related. Early art piece attached to the fic, the second episode. Connie and the crystal gems heading to the moon tower thing.

Just look up connieswap in Archive of our own and you should find it. There are a lot of episodes
