That last line was absolutely AMAZING, nothing could top it, honestly. Anyways, I’m very interested in the setting of this fic! Zombie apocalypse? Supernatural interference? YES. Also, the realism of people just ignoring that there are zombies is awesome lol —————— Anyways, here’s a clip from a Detective Conan x Kingdom Hearts fic that I’m working on. However, the first chapter of this fic, where this excerpt was taken from, is purely Detective Conan. This is one of the beginning sections: —————— But both he and Haibara knew that there was no way she could improve the formula to help his pain, not if they still wanted the antidote to actually work. So, as always, he powered through it, silently praying that the suffering would stop soon so that he could finally get relief and get on with his life. (As silent as those prayers were, his screams were not. …He was just glad that the walls were thick enough to muffle their voracity, though he could not avoid Haibara’s pained glance at his state afterwards.) With that, you couldn’t really blame him for feeling so miserable after it was all over. The whole way over to the station, Shinichi did his best to get used to his old muscles, moving them around in an attempt to distract from the soreness that refused to leave his bones.

Sometimes I just want to get away from irl people for awhile

Hi there, welcome to the forum! I love your username, and I wish you luck on your mission against General Grievous! I really need to read the Tolkien books one of these days too. I look forward to talking about Star Wars and Marvel stuff with you! Once again, welcome!

I’m going to be going to my great aunt’s and help make tamales! It’s a family tradition for New Years Eve, and the tamales are really good too, so it’s worth it.

The age-old debate. A classic that will go down in history! Personally, I prefer the flavor and texture of waffles, but pancakes have a lot going for them too. Which of the two would you choose? And why?

Do you just constantly keep adding on to your list? Do you ever end up watching the anime on it? Or is your list practically untouched, never to be completed even if you had a million years? Talk about your watchlist woes here! As for me, my list is astronomically long, and I just keep adding onto it. And I haven’t really watched any of them, so it seems that I’ll never be able to ever get through them in my lifetime. It doesn’t help that some of those anime are really long. And I also really like to rewatch anime that I’ve already enjoyed over watching anything new.

Do book covers help you decide whether or not you want to read a book? For example, did the art of a Harry Potter book cover help convince you to read the book? If a book cover’s art looks boring, does it lower your expectations for the novel? I know they say never to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes we just can’t resist. And people get paid to make good book covers so… there’s a reason, right?

Ok, this is literally in the summary for this section but there wasn’t actually a thread for it, so I decided to create one myself. So, as the title asks, how would you (or how have you) create a magic system (or any kind of supernatural system, really) in either an original world? Additionally, how have you built upon an existing magic system and fleshed it out much more than the original source material? Personally, I haven’t done either yet, but I’m looking for some advice because magic systems can really be built up in so many different ways, and it can be difficult for some people to do correctly. There’s a lot that can be done for different magic systems, so it can be hard to pinpoint what might be the best for your story. Also, I’m just curious and what you all might have done (or what you might have had ideas about).

As the title says! Do you like to use canon when you write fanfiction, or do you prefer to ignore it? For me, I like to use canon more often than not. Mostly because it makes it a lot easier to write and plan your fic, since most of the stuff would already exist. Thinking up of something so new and different just means that I would have a lot of trouble trying to think up of my world building for said fic, and I would have difficulty trying to think up of how the plot would go. So long story short, using canon as a base just makes things so much easier for me, especially if I know that canon very well. That’s why my Kingdom Hearts fanfics tend to follow at least many of the same story beats or worlds that have already existed in the games. At the very least, canon exists as a base for all of the shenanigans that follow afterwards.

It’s pretty sunny, but it’s honestly still pretty cold outside.

More tired than usual

Part of chapter 2 of my KH x TWEWY story. Sora was amazed at the amount of people that walked around him. He’s never seen so many people in one place before! Not even on Olympus when the crowds would watch Hercules fight in the Coliseum. Each one seemed in their own world, talking and walking in their own direction. Around those people were the tallest buildings, almost as tall as Hollow Bastion’s castle except it was everywhere. And in the middle of it all was a building with a large lit-up sign, towering over the street and all of its people. And lit up in blood-red were the words: “YOU HAVE 7 DAYS.” Sora already knew that, but… he supposed that seeing that information solidified helped him remember just where he was. What he had to do. Nothing like an ominous billboard to remind you that you aren’t here to have fun. He frowned. They gave him some sort of pin, right? He rummaged through his pockets; in his right pocket was a bunch of pins, but in his left pocket was one single pin, and he took it out. And there it was, the Player Pin. Sora grasped it tightly, and suddenly, the world around him exploded. He couldn’t explain it. It was like… a million voices were talking to him at once, each one of them vying for his attention in his head. He dropped the pin immediately, and as sudden as the voices started, they stopped. Sora looked at the pin with slight suspicion, but regardless, he gently picked it up. And promptly put it back into his pocket. Yeah, that wasn’t something he wanted to try again any time soon.
