AO3 Alert: I'm feeling experimental! · 7:06pm Jul 15th, 2018
Okay first of all, if you haven't played the Octo expansion of Splatoon two, there are SPOILERS IN THIS THING. GAMEPLAY SPOILERS. Also story spoilers.
I've started something a bit odd. Tracing Ink is a non-linearly written fanfiction whose next chapters are decided by the readers. Technically there are two chapters, but I'm not counting the first one toward my patreon because (A) it's meant to be a hub for the whole experiment and (B) it's short. The second chapter does count though. As will, most likely, most of the other chapters.
Experimentation breeds excitement! And apparently readers who don't understand that "comment driven" does not mean "compliment driven." Oh well, it's still new.
ON THE PONY FRONT! The next chapter of Hc Svnt Equus Pinnis is actually coming along well! I just needed to get the characters into a place where they could expo dump, and now they're interacting and the plot is progressing to the next checkpoint. That should end up coming out... I want to say today, but possibly tomorrow, WEDNESDAY BY THE LATEST. In related news my muse has had her pizza privileges revoked until she gets it done.
I'm still letting her have ice cream, I'm not a monster.
I should also probably aim to try to finish Sunscarred... yeah, I'll try to get a chapter out.
Also got some RWBY related projects working...
Also a friend of mine is trying to fund a novel! That's important.
Soooooooo yeperdoodles, that's about all for this last week. Tip your waitresses everyone!
Yikes, no comments?
I definitely like your pony stuff and am, in fact, eager to read some well-written fanfiction from other franchises for once - as I have yet to come across a fanfiction site as well and intuitively organized as fimfiction is in finding the "good stuff".
I must admit, I did check out your AO3 account ... aaaand there's exactly one franchise I have any knowledge of, aaaand I'm not sure if it contains spoilers for Breath of the Wild past the point where I'm at (4 beasts discovered, only the Goron's one actually defeated.)
I've never played Splatoon, either. Might check out the fics, though. Post-apocalypse non-human civilization sounds familiar enough.
The other stuff I am entirely unfamiliar with. (Well okay, it's hard not to have heard of Overwatch, but I wouldn't know who's who or anything.)
I did read some of "Long Loop The Queen", but I get the feel there's a lot of backstory being built upon that I'm just not getting, sorry.
One thing of note, though - if you like time loop stories in a fantasy setting, I would recommend checking out Mother of Learning, a rationalist take on going through a time loop in a world of magic, with a bit more to it than your standard "Ground Hog Day" setup.
I admit it's a bit dry at the very start - but it picks up pretty much instantly right on the first loop.
For starters... the protagonist isn't the one who set off the loop.
