Let the Storm Descend Upon You
AquilaTempestas and one other reacted to TJMike for a topic
With his hands up and an easy smile on his face, Dylan made his way inside Florence's cottage. He made a show of closing the door behind him, but leaving it slightly ajar. It simply wouldn't do to completely close the only way out in case his fellow inmate wasn't as open-minded as he thought. "Don't worry, I come in peace." Dylan assured, slowly lowering his hands in front of Florence. "I just wanted to, you know, the usual stuff when two individuals in the same boat do." the con man offered. "Things like exchange pleasantries, chat about the weather... know how many armed guards you2 points -

For Chains of Fate, my Pokemon fantasy! This is for the FFN version. Very nice review and it gave me some hope that I have some appeal. - From Larieth Srry for my bad english but I just started your fic and I LOVE IT. I always thought: "If Pokemon World was dark and with GoT and Grimdark facts propably would be amazing". But I am reallly scared to write it and when I found your fic I just wanted to hug you. I read a few chapters and I have to tell you I love your narrative skills (even if i'm spanish lol)1 point -

I only discovered the term when a reader pointed it out to me. I was like 'oh there is a word for it after all!' I always considered it as dark fantasy but now I know there is an official term for it. I think you should go with what you think works best for your story and future character dewvelopment.1 point -

What did you think @Nirianne? Of Omega? Code of Life was my favourite too though I wish Zaher featured on the song a bit more. All he does is the arabic part at the start. Design Your Universe is usually considered as Epica's greatest album. Check that one out if you haven't already.1 point -

Writing, of course. Especially fluffy or dramatic romance. What is your favourite fantasy species? It can be in popular folklore or modern fiction, as long as it has a name we can actually google.1 point -

Do you worry about disappointing your readers?
AquilaTempestas reacted to Apollomon X Stingmon for a topic
Yes and no. Yes because I would love for my readers to continue following my characters through their journey I am slowly crafting, feeling their lost, happiness, understanding their choices rather it was intentional or not. But what if I write something they might not agree with? Would they stop reading my story just because of that? If they are one of your loyal readers who had been with you through every chapter, providing you feedback and ideas since chapter one, would it really matter? You can't please everyone. While I love the feedback I get, and appreciate their continue support i1 point -

Feeling down about low reviews
onewiththewheels reacted to AquilaTempestas for a topic
Yeah, I feel ya. It can be a bit of a downer when you review and the person gets upset. I think if offering criticism, you have to be very careful l with your words. I usually just point out a few minor errors, and let them know they can change it if they want too. It's worse when you're giving constructive crit for a more popular story and the author gets pissed at you. I think people just need to be careful with how they word stuff - we might think it's totally fine, but the other person might take extreme offense. Sadly, you can't monitor reviews. Some people are just horrid by nature.1 point -

Spam FFN Accounts
onewiththewheels reacted to AquilaTempestas for a topic
As you probably know, there are a lot of fake accounts on FFN. Be wary of a user that has LuminaRose in their username. They are a spam bot account, and they will generate new accounts every month with LuminaRose (and a random number) This is what I currently have (I actually had a bunch more but it seems those accounts have been removed).

DLCs - yay or nay?
onewiththewheels reacted to AquilaTempestas for a topic
Would be around 77 dollars USD. It really sounds like they didn't think that dlc pathway very well for Fire Emblem. Or maybe they did and they knew people would buy the extra stuff anyway.1 point -
DLCs - yay or nay?
onewiththewheels reacted to AquilaTempestas for a topic
I'm 50/50 on DLCS. Sometimes it can feel that DLCS are 'cut content' and that's a bit annoying when you've gotta pay anything between $15-30 AUD on a game add on. In the case of Pokemon Sword and Shield, I think the DLCs should've been part of the main game. I would've been happy to wait an extra year for the content. Some DLCs are kinda worth the extra money. See Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. This was bigger than the main game itself, and had so much extra content, it felt like a brand new game entirely. The Dark Souls and Bloodborne DLCs were good too. New monsters. New maps. New1 point -

Robin stands still as he does that, feeling a little grossed out but again she was just a mere human and it was best to keep her mouth shut, as pretty much always. "I'll go wherever you shall take me to." she replies.1 point -

"Very well." Xu Ba responds, acknowledging He Bo's advice. Reaching to his waist, Xu Ba unbuckles his daggers sheave that he kept attached to his robes belt. It was only natural to keep a defensive weapon on his person, a noble of his status always had enemies. However, during those dull meetings with other nobles it was common place to be asked to leave all weapons behind. "Now what? Do I stroll in through the front door?"1 point -

AquilaTempestas reacted to Footrot Flats for a topic
Hello Everyone! I am recently new to this site. Myself and Aquila crossed paths on fanfiction when I happened to read one of her Ice Age stories. Thought it was very good, left a review, received a message and here I am. I'm from Australia (it's not as scary as some make it). I'm still alive after all. I found fanfiction around November last year. It's a long story, so if you wanna know, do ask. Since joining, I have posted a few fics based on Kung Fu Panda (one is still on-going). If you wish to check them out, this is my profile link: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/14628181/1 point -

What game are you playing?
onewiththewheels reacted to AquilaTempestas for a topic
Jumping has to be more precise because the edges are far more sensitive. "the reason jumps feel harder in the n.sane trilogy isn't really due to falling a bit faster but because collisions can be wonky upon landing" “Crash’s jump arc is sped up in the N. Sane Trilogy, causing him to land just slightly quicker,” the video explains. That faster speed may be why players find themselves falling off platforms just after landing on them. It means that rather than falling off things, you sort of slide down them a bit first, even if it's a flat plane.” So, sometimes you think1 point -

@Sakura Alexia Charon sniffs you then releases you. "You wish to speak Hades then. He is the lord of the underworld. You cannot leave until he judges you." "We wish to find a way to break free of the chains of this life." Charon raises an eyebrow. "Is that so? Hades will judge that. Are you ready to cross the River Styx?" @Stubborn Saber He Bo nods. "Then come, let us walk through the entrance." He walks down to the river and starts heading towards the waterfall. You can hear it up ahead, roaring so loud it's hard to anything else.

For a long time, my pokemon fantasy Chains of Fate/A Crown of Thorns hadn't gotten a single review on FFN or on A03. Pretty disheartening considering the amount of time I've poured into it. Then I got two on A03. Guest It's a shame there's no other comments here! So many moving parts and players in this story and plenty of intrigue to keep the reader interested in how exactly it'll all tie together in the end. I've enjoyed reading this and hope you keep it up! letsliketurtles (think they might've found it through Tumblr actually) Hello! Your story is so we1 point -

Thing you've learnt from reading other people's stories
AquilaTempestas reacted to Zadien for a topic
Don't assume the other writers know what they're doing - if you want to learn how to do something with grammar, check out a published book or a grammar book, don't rely on fanfic to teach it Write what you want to read - not what you assume readers want to read, you'll get a more satisfying story While reviews are fantastic, they're not a good indicator of what makes a good fanfic While action is fun, don't use it so much that your characters don't have time to breathe. Killing people off for shock value doesn't work for TV shows, it's not working for your fanfic eith1 point -

@AquilaTempestas I actually meet with Guillermo del Toro when he gave a conference on Creative Thinking a few years back. He was kind of a surprise speaker so I was tragically unprepared and I got him to sign the small notebook I was carrying at the moment haha. He's quite funny and chill in person, and gave such awesome advice to get flowing ideas in the long term. Also, if I could be any greek god? I think I'll go with either Erebos, God of Darkness... or Pan, just for the lolz @Nirianne I actually do. I have several items in the list already, but the most curious/funny/w1 point -
