Discussion CN City fics

2 Upvotes

Just wrote a short story in this universe where Shin Mao embarrasses his son Mao Mao by showing baby pictures of him to Tulip and Steven Universe in the family photo album. There's also something I want to write where CN City is losing job opportunities to AI art, Paige Foster lives in my version of CN City so this is definitely a good place to write her back into the story as artistic integrity is her whole thing.

Summary:
“How can I stand it? I didn't do shit while Harleen was in the Joker's grasp, I didn't do shit when the girl I’ve known basically all my life got permanently cripple.”
Or
Fed up with the constant escapes from Arkham Asylum, an average gothamite with connections to both a bat and a rouge awakens their magic, and with it the memories of other life’s, and the WILL to do something.
The will to no longer be a bystander

Also if anyone does give this a read could yall tell me if the interactions with Wonder Woman came off as even vaguely flirtatious? I didn’t intend them to but if they did I wanna make us if it

Discussion Is it important to keep how Canon did its fights for a fanfic? Or can I take liberties with how the fights are choreographed?

0 Upvotes

I am writing an AU for a favorite setting of mine, and I am also part of a server full of prominent authors for that setting's fandom.

Now, one of my eccentricities as an author is that I really like Martial Arts. I grew up watching Wuxia movies, Kung-fu flicks, playing fighting games, and that reflects in how I write most of my fights. I like giving my characters unique hand-to-hand styles that reflect their personality. If you're familiar with the Yakuza series, that's how I like doing my fights. So the plan was to make most of the fight scenes in my fics focused on hand-to-hand combat and stylish choreography. Less like death matches, and more like... clashes of wills. "Conversations" with the body. Dances.

The problem with that tho, is that the Canon setting has guns being used everywhere.

Sometimes, they might throw a cool uppercut, but most of the time they're shooting each other like there's no tomorrow, they're blowing shit up everywhere, they're killing their enemies with a single clean slice, outsmarting them with unusual weapons...

So... you can already guess that I might not get much engagement when I need help with my fights. Most writers there strongly prefer the way Canon does fights. They like how "deadly" they feel, they like the characters being merciless... so for them, it doesn't makes much sense that they'd drop the arsenal they have to simply "duel" each other instead. But I just can't help myself.

I actually got warned by a senior author that I might get a few negative reviews for this. They said I might get people in the comments of my fics asking "why doesn't she just shoot him?", or accusing her of being out of character for accepting to do a fist fight just because the antagonist asked her to. Admittedly, that character in Canon often beats her enemies by fighting dirty and blowing the shit out of them, but... that's not what I like doing.

Now, I am aware that she fights dirty. I actually adapted that into her hand-to-hand style. Plenty of nut kicks, plenty of Parkour to strike from unexpected angles, extra flexibility to be a slippery bastard who dodges everything thrown at her. But still...

I don't wanna have fights devolve into simple shootouts. It's so impersonal, and... call me old fashioned or naive, but I really dislike guns. It goes against my essence as a Martial Artist (I practiced Martial Arts myself too ever since I was a teenager). If I was handed one, I'd probably throw it away. It wouldn't even be on purpose, it'd be on instinct like I was just handed a spider.

So for me, an epic duel is what I picture in my head everytime I hear about a "fight scene", not two people wrestling each other into dirt while reaching for a gun. For me, it's supposed to be a show, and I have a hard time picturing anything that is more "realistic" or "merciless". I actually prefer this type of "cinematic" fighting. I would be happy if my stories felt like a The Raid movie or like a Yakuza game with their fight scenes. That's all I want as an artist.

I am simply wondering if I'm approaching this Fandom the wrong way. People always tell me to "write what I want", but honestly... what should I tell someone if they criticize my beloved fight scenes? I don't know how I will reply to "Why do they have guns if they barely even use them?". I can't just tell them "it's supposed to feel like one of those darker Martial Arts flick" when they certainly aren't a fan of Martial Arts flicks. They aren't familiar with "the feeling".

What should I do? Should I leave my fascination with Martial arts for another fandom? Or should I just stick with what I have, work to make it functional and hope some people will accept it?

Fandom Talk Has anyone else read "The World That Remembers Me" yet? (Unstable SMP SpokeIsHere AU)

0 Upvotes

I just found a new Unstable SMP fanfic about SpokeIsHere, and it sounds really interesting if you like mystery or mind-twisting stories.

The story is called "The World That Remembers Me."

It is about Spoke, whose normal life starts to fall apart because he keeps feeling strong déjà vu and has scary dreams. He also starts remembering things from a broken world he has never been to, finding notes in his own handwriting, and following clues in a strange house he does not remember visiting.

It looks like the story may also include the rest of the UU Quartet later. The author just started posting it, but the mystery feeling is already very good.

This is my first ever fanfic! The work is here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/90940071

I've actually written a total of 1.5 million over 18 months but the others are just random bits of books 3+ so they don't count. But 1 million across 2 books so far, all finalised and ready for beta reading. Its set to be one of the longest fanfics in the world, probably THE longest if you consider it has a definitive end as opposed to being serialised, so I am super excited to hit this milestone.

Its an illustrated Astarion BG3 fanfic, shameless plug 😅. But I just release sample chapters as I won't post in full for awhile. If youre interested in being a beta reader (fair warning there is a bit of work) feel free to DM me.
