Fanfiction Lounge

[Miz en Scène]

Generally, I try to make my chapters at least 2000 words long or more. Though, it goes longer if it's a one-shot(which I'm currently working on).

[Dagzar]

How long do you guys like to make your chapters?
I like my chapters to be between 4000 and 6000 words with only a couple of exceptions.

And wow, the FFL has certainly been active lately. I can hardly remember the last time the FFL went days without posts.

 

[Feign]

We're probably in celebration, but that is all I know, we might all be individualistic.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

This is the aftermath of Shattered's release party. All who say otherwise are just unknowing gatecrashers.

 

[JX Valentine]

*spikes the punch and walks away whistling*

 

[Misheard Whisper]

I already spiked it. *takes another glass of double-spiked punch*

~Waltzin' Matilda, Waltzin' Matilda, who'll come a'waltzin' Matilda wi'me?~ *hic*

 

[Feign]

Well while you guys were spiking it, I shot you with a dart at you with a blow gun, so the poison should be acting just right about now.

 

[Misheard Whisper]

~And 'e sang as 'e watched, and 'e waited for 'is-guk! *dies*

 

[Citrinin]

Feign, you should drink the drink yourself.

Shortcut to inspiration. :D

 

[Feign]

No that's okay, I'm already high on life.

*dances around waving arms about and laughs like a maniac*

[Bay]

Oh, good. Because I kinda married one of you in a drunken, Vegas-like state, and I'm not sure if you've noticed.

On a totally unrelated note, Bay, have you ever gotten a marriage annulled?

No. O.o Not sure why you asked me this, but no matter. XD;

Yeah, yeah, I'm late. I had to take care of some things while you guys are having fun at Sparkling Dragon's Shattered release party! :O

As for the page length question, NE ranged between six and fifteen pages for part one and part two ten to twenty pages. I try to have the target be at ten pages, but part two of the story suddenly has a lot more going on. :O

 

[Misheard Whisper]

but part two of the story suddenly has a lot more going on. :O

That's always the case, isn't it? I've never been able to get to part two of one of mine . . . >_> I'll get there one day. Meanwhile, have some punch! *proffers bowl of suspicious-looking punch*

 

[Citrinin]

I agree. I've got a lot planned for part two of mine, but for now, massive foreshadowing and character development are what I'm focusing on now.

EDIT: 7³ posts~

 

[JX Valentine]

No. O.o Not sure why you asked me this, but no matter. XD;

Uh, ask no questions and sign a piece of paper? Also, might I have the ring back?

Also, the summary needs moar sarcasm, guys. Fixed up the parts that were doing it wrong.

<3 Foreshadowing is so much fun. Have you picked any up in Shattered yet?

Oh, and btw. Easter Eggs? I don't think anybody picked this one up in Torn-

"Really?" I asked. Before Dragon could answer, however, we were interrupted by a voice. It was a deep, slow voice, ancient and powerful. It resonated through my head and around the square.

Palkia learns AncientPower, I believe?

I know I got ninja'd. =P

EDIT: Yep. I did. What?

Sparkling Dragon: "JAX. TITS OR GTFO."

Where'd you get that from? x_X

Sparkling Dragon: "tl;dr MY FIC."

Yep, that's me to a T~ ^_^ Subliminal advertising. *coughShatteredcough*

 

[JX Valentine]

Where'd you get that from?

The "we're waiting for you" message just wasn't funny if I didn't modify it like that and took advantage of your drunkenness at the same time. *sage nod*

 

[Misheard Whisper]

Ah right. I meant "We're waiting for you to die as well", seeing as Feign shot us punch-drinkers with poison darts.

 

[Citrinin]

Valentine is a Lv100 master in sarcasm. ;D

<3 Foreshadowing is so much fun. Have you picked any up in Shattered yet?

Not anything subtle. XD;

My foreshadowing is mostly blatant - i.e. I want the reader to know that I'm foreshadowing.

Although some is definitely subtle. ;D
