Today’s story relies on not one, but two twists. Since the first twist is incredibly blunt, I have not bothered to spoiler-tag it.
Games are an important form of ancillary worldbuilding. They create verisimilitude by showing that characters do play games, but can also create a fundamental alien-ness. Think of the Dejarik from Star Wars or the 3D chess from Star Trek.
A note before we begin; this is not intended to critique or disparage people who do accept money for their fanfic/fanwork; like all my musings posts, it is merely a public exploration of my own thoughts. It is intended to provoke discussion, not to insult or denigrate.
Today’s meandering musings post is about a subject I have wanted to address for a long time. And yet, it’s one that I’m still considering my feelings for.
For a breakdown of the format, don't forget to check the first entry.
Title: Of Angels
Author: PaulAsaran
Short summary: Angel Bunny learns to write from Twilight, for a reason that quickly becomes obvious. Told through letters/written conversations.
One thing I like about the FIM fanfic fandom is the abundance of reviewers and critique available. It helps authors grow, helps other authors learn from their mistakes, and helps inform readers of stories they may like or dislike.
I generally avoided being one of those reviewers for a long time. I usually preferred a direct dialogue with the author, so my critique would often take the form of a lengthy comment directly on the story in question.
One thing I often see writers struggle with is physical action: things like fight scenes, races, or the like. Sequences where the characters are moving a lot and interacting with other physical elements in a short space of time. I struggle with it myself, come to that.
