I am halfway through one fic (writing), and juggling ideas for two others that are spin offs. I've been dividing my drawing time between fanart and original. I attempted to draw from a new source of inspiration, but having finally played the intro to Persona 5...I don't think that's going to be it for me. XD
Plans are really just guidelines. I'm sorry to hear you've been dealing with so much! It's lovely when it all just aligns too, isn't it? I hope you feel better soon. 'Grats on getting in some writing everyday...that's far better than I do when I get derailed.
Playing Paper Mario ! Finished Chapter 2, just started Chapter 3. I think with this speed, it’s going to take me 5-6 more weeks to finish the game. 😀...
Wrapping up ORAS and debating between Platinum and Heart Gold. It's nostalgia week, I guess, as my husband is currently replaying a bunch of Final Fantasy games. XD
What did you think of Cassette Beasts? I watched a play through of that one not long ago with mixed reaction. But, I'm curious as to how others received it and how they felt about playing through it.
Ah! That's interesting. I'm playing Alpha Sapphire right now. I love Pokemon, but tend toward the newer gens because they have more story.
Older games, or games that mimic older styles, can be pretty hit and miss for me as a result, even though I can appreciate a lot of the work and complexity put into them from an outside view (watching someone else play).
Revisiting the anime got me on a Hoenn kick, so here we are.
If you like indie games, and if you enjoy puzzles and story, have you ever tried Ib? It's a short indie psychological horror game that is all puzzles (no fighting), but really interesting.
Yes. Yes I am. I do this. I get hyper-fixated on a series and after the Gen 9 DLC (disappointing btw) I am once again on a Pokemon kick. I don't know what it is about this series. Fire Emblem is the only other series to come close, but again with the newer gens.
Kaga created a brilliant game series, but I would probably gnaw off my console arm within the first hour of attempting Thracia. (I've watched my husband play it.)
Ah! I missed this one. Okay, better late than never.
January was... a lot. (That seems to be the theme!)
But, I've actually started drawing more again and playing around with some original ideas. I've also been plotting out a few new fic threads for when I have energy again. It's nice to have the inspiration. Once I have the focus, I'll hopefully write a few of them out. :)
Thanks! Things are going a bit better now. It can take some time, but you've just got to be sure to take extra care of yourself when you've been going through it for a bit.
Honestly, I'm really excited to have the motivation to draw again. For years that was my passion and I think I just let the weight of how I thought I SHOULD be pursuing art kind of squash that for a long while. It's amazing how in your own head you can get.
As I've started to let that go I've been able to relax more and just enjoy myself again.
I used to believe everyone did, but I know better. Some people don't like it from people they don't know. Others don't like receiving it from anyone at all. What do you think about it?...
Have you ever written or read a fanfic that focuses on OCs and obscure characters? Though OCs can get flak sometimes, they can be great for pre-canon stories where you need to pad out the cast. And obscure characters can be kind of a blank canvas....
I love fics focused on obscure characters and I've written a few. I've been toying with the idea of writing an OC. As pointed out by LeGaosaure and others, certain fandoms definitely lend themselves to it with blank slate player character roles. That said, even a fully customizable player character build will often take a backseat to that NPC who had 3 lines of dialogue that just hit right. XD
I'm so sorry. It sounds like things have been incredibly rough. I'm glad you found inspiration! Were you revisiting a favorite fandom or just writing something you came up with yourself?
Sometimes grief can make it hard to even want to move, so having written something is great. I'm glad to hear it!
That's true. I think Disco Elysium could rival some novels.
There is almost certainly some form of Tetris fanfic out there. I don't know why or how, but it just seems like someone has to have done it, even if only as a crack fic.

Fics focused on obscure characters/OCs

New Year, New Fic, Which Fandoms are psyched about in 2024?

Weekend Round-Up 11/24
What's everyone focused on this weekend?...
How often do you focus on the original story's protagonist?
I usually find the main character to be the least interesting. This isn't always, but it's often....
It's Friday! What are you reading/writing/drawing 11/17?
I might expand on a short Fire Emblem fic I wrote in a rush last weekend. I'm in the mood for some deep friendship fic and I have some inspiration....
