Things to watch out for in my fanfic once it's up

[Buster Cannon]

It's possible for it to work, but only if you were to direct attention moreso to the videogame characters than yourself. Most of the lines in the script would go to mostly other people, because then that would make it more interesting. If it was from a narrator's POV intead of yours, it may turn out better.

[Paragon]

To Griffin: Don't worry. Later on, it'll just be a friend thing.


Here's a self-insertion story that alot of people like.

It's called Final Reality.

Search for it on fanfiction.net under Final Fantasy 9, and take a look at it, please.

<sub>He's gone way over his head this time

Yup

Still, the greatest challenge of writing a fanfic is telling everyone about it and seeing the negative opinions</sub>

12. annoying final fantasy crossovers that nobody understands or even likes.


.....what.... the ..... heck...... self-insertion?

[feldinaut]

Paragon, I tried. I really did. But that story... I hate it. It's the perfect example of why I hate self-inserts.

I read as much of it as I could. Though it's not badly written, WELL-written, even, I just can't stand to read it. The guy just goes ON AND ON AND ON and BLAH BLAH BLAH about himself. The entire story has such an air of conceit to it that I'm choking on it.

I have not changed my mind about self-inserts. And listen, I'm even trying to be open minded. It's just not going to work.

[Fire Griffin]

Okay. Fine:

Paragon, write this. Ignore everyone and just write it. You know, rather than discourage you, I'd like to see you try to prove us wrong.

That's right. Prove us wrong. Go for it. Write this thing and then see what we have to say.

Self-inserts do not work but... Fine. You seem insistant on it. Go. Do it.

[Paragon]

BRG, how could you say that? I will, however, revise the story so it's ONLY Legends. OK, Final Reality didn't change your mind, but this might. Search for "I wanna go home!" under Final Fantasy 8.

WARNING!


This has bad language. The only thing that made me wince when I read it was the DARN language.

[Notmyname]

Paragon, its just kinda... well, rediculess. i'm not tring to be mean but... it doesn't make sence. besides, not EVERYONE likes finalfantasy, so your not going to change everyones mind. well mostly everyone likes final fantasy. i don't.

[Paragon]

Alright! If those won't change your mind, I will! I'm gonna put this story up on FF.net, and I won't let 1 or 1,000 flames stop me! Got it? I'm gonna get on with this, and I'm gonna ignore all negative opinions! And maybe, just maybe, I'll take your advice, and make it from a narrator's point of view, but I'm not gonna be stopped from writing this, got it again!?

Ya gotta be so DARN negative about this. Well, when it's on the net, I'm not gonna be taking CRUD from anybody who hates it upon reading it.

PS: I emphasised DARN and CRUD to show you how much I dislike bad words, OK? I'm not so mad anymore.

PS2: It's actually in more of a journal format. I'm talking to the audience because of that. It's kind of like a flashback where "I remember..." happens.

[feldinaut]

Dude, Paragon... If you've decided you aren't going to take negative feedback, you should have specified that in your first post. I mean, we've all been saying this stuff because we thought you wanted our opinions! Not much use to a topic if there's no point in people responding...

EDIT: Dude, whatever. Just write it. You obviously don't care what anyone else thinks, so I don't really see what's holding you up. But you're setting yourself up for one MASSIVE "I told you so."

[Paragon]

I didn't say that. I'm just sick that everybody is telling me that my fanfic is CRUD. I'll get on with the DARN fic and then you'll have to see it for yourself. But for now, all you people who think this is going to be CRUDDY, wait until it's up, and see what happens.

13. Reaverbots appearing in Japan and attempting to attack Capcom headquarters, and nearly succeed in killing everyone except Keiji Inafune...

14. Legends 3 being fictionally produced.
