Hi all!
I was just writing and updating some stuff when I had this great idea for a
fic.
It is a fanfic of course, but...
What if the plot of the story was about a the writer him/herself actually
writing the story?
What goes on 'behind the scenes' of the creation of "Hearts of Ice"?
What goes on in the mind of Gregg Sharp when he write his "Third Labour"?
Do you ever wonder?
I'm not sure about you, but my fingers are itching to write this but I'm a
horrible writer.
I just suck at this kinda stuff.
With this, do I charge thee!
Thou must uphold thy honour and accept any and all challenge set forth.
In my stead, thou shalt write a fanfic describing thy endeavours in writing
your main fanfic!
Okay, so what you're basically saying is that you're interested in a fic
that looks at an author on the list writing a fic and why he does it. Well, I
don't know about everyone else, but for me, there really isn't that much to it.
If I was to give a simple reason as to why I write Eva or why I write about
video games and the like is simple; because I'm a fan of what I write about
(hence, fanfiction I guess). I wrote my Star of the Southern Cross fic because
I wanted to be a part of Eva. That Six Pack one was inspired by fics that I've
seen of Lara Bentam's last year. That idea with Maya was due to the EoE movie
and I wanted to make a diffrence. My Resident Evil fic was a kind of homage, a
kind of tribute to Rebecca Chambers and the rest of the RE characters that I
have the utmost respect for. And another reason that I wrote this fic is
because of everything that's been done with RE. On the internet I've seen fics,
pictures, portrayels of Rebecca being (*&^%$ by a Hunter, we have comics, we
have novels, we have movies, and they all contradict each other. Even the games
thenselves contradict each one another. And it's the same with NGE, it's the
same with a lot of other things, there are books, comics, anime, manga, movies,
fics based on books based on comics based on games based on animes based on an
idea written on toilet paper, ect, ect, ect. So with RE in particular, the
writers of the comics and novels, those who put up inaccurate stories on the
internet, and in some ways Capcom themselves leave me with no other choice but
to write what I hope is something that is well written, enjoyable and is not
from a twisted mind (are you listening, Kyle Twilight?). The last fic I've
written, I think it was the last fic, was a spur of the moment fic, and I think
that showed with how the fic was written. My latest fic, which I'll hopefully
send in a matter of hours, I wrote after watching the Metal Gear Solid 2 video,
which is most impressive, and was struck with how similer it was to NGE. So, I
thought that I'd write a fic where the two were intertwined and put in a hell
of an effort into it to make what would hopefully be a damn good fic. I
wouldn't try writing a fic about writing fics, but I've taken up Flyz's
challenge and am currently writing a Ridge Racer fic. One of the characters
writes and has similer views that I have (wait until he sees
artofktwilight.fsn.net/game5.html). My fic will show that a bit, but
unfortunetly my Playstation has packed it in so I'll need to get a lot of
information on RR (names, tracks, dates, ect) on the internet, which means that
the fic will take a while. I've made enough noise, plus I have big problems
where my left eye used to be, so I'll see you all later.
You have been talking to the Millennium Man, Y3K. I'm out like the
nineties. Peace.
