Simply, you fed up with what is going on with your fic, so you have three choice:

1. Abandoned it.

2. Rewrite.

3. Continue then Rewrite.

Move to the next question, how much symbolism do you put in your fic? Execpt the Muv-Luv one, I could said that every of my fic got one or more plot symbol to it.

ZeroXSEED · 2013-11-11, 21:34

Indeed.

I don't know about what symbolism I tend to use, but safe to say I don't touch Religion unless with ten foot golden pole, trying to be respectful here.

Fireminer · 2013-11-11, 21:40

No, no, not that high. For example, with Sakura it's the song that Houki plays with her flute. Consider is as a milestone for character development.

ZeroXSEED · 2013-11-11, 21:48

Oh, I see

[Sacred Twins] is doubly ironic yet meaningful title actually.

Fireminer · 2013-11-11, 21:53

And so does [The bro-con Sister and her clueless Brother]. No offense!

But who though that name and the motto "Twincest" at the first place?

Tempest35 · 2013-11-11, 22:53

Who knows where it came from; that's the Internet for ya. All I know is that 'Sacred Twins' holds the flag of 'Twincest' for the IS community.

Fireminer · 2013-11-11, 23:19

Then who hold the flag of "ChifuyuXIchika"?

ZeroXSEED · 2013-11-11, 23:35

Definitely not me

Because I'm used to be torpedo boat for that pairing.

Rokumonsen · 2013-11-11, 23:48

@Zero
So which pairing is your supercarrier?

ZeroXSEED · 2013-11-11, 23:53

Me and my sister

Joke aside, what Tempest said.

Fireminer · 2013-11-12, 00:31

Tch... Almost finish it! As soon as I done with the first chapter of Paradise, Sakura here we go!

Also, how much could a summary tell us about the story?

DarkJak2050 · 2013-11-12, 01:36

Another Fanfic spoted.

A summary can tell whatever you think the reader needs to know to form a general idea of what your story is about.

If you're trying to be subtle, having key words in the summary 'ruin the surprise'. If the story is, for the purpose of explaining this, about Madoka feeling conflicted about shooting Ichika and 'mistakenly' classifies her feelings as being 'romantic' in nature for him, but it's something you want the reader to figure out - having 'POTENTIAL TWINCEST' in the summary for everyone to read just ruins the fic since you gave the 'surprise' away. A spoiler, if you will. There's nothing worse than typing out 3-6k story only to spoil it yourself when you write out your summary.

A summary should contain hints - not spoilers.

Something like this:

Finally, it was time to take her rightful place. Time to set things right - time for her to start living her life. All she needed to do, was to end his... So why can't she pull the trigger?

Also should contain 'direction of travel' or the mood/theme of the story. On this, you can use key words and the like since it's quicker to classify as to what kind of story it is without using too much words to describe it. But you also don't want to sound like some lame infomercial or announcer.

All in all, the summary sets the tone and direction of your fic for any potential readers to gauge if they want to waste the 5-20 minutes it will take to read your chapter/fic. Don't tell the entire story in your summary or what's the point?

wavehawk · 2013-11-12, 03:44

Still stuck with a number of parts in the fic. Simpl details, like Autumn's interactions with Squall and M are giving me trouble, as are other bits. I'm trying to keep a bit of gallows humor in the fic here, but it's getting pretty hard to write the rest of this (even though I got the core of the story down pat).

The action sequence is the easy part. Writing up the characters of Phantom Task in a way that they're not completely one-dimensionally evil characters---THAT is hard.

I think I'll get myself a major Urobuchi fix. That'll help cheer me up.

That one really does contain a dimensional jump, I could have tagged that as a crossover because of the warp thing. I still don`t understand the element of that said fanfic

Fireminer · 2013-11-12, 05:21

Tempest: Good answer! But what I want to say that there are many people wrote that they suck at summary. They could have just said that they suck at writing!

And why am I always overdramatic, even with summary?

Rokumonsen · 2013-11-12, 07:06

Then mine's a different case: I suck at writing but at least I can think of a decent summary.

Fireminer · 2013-11-12, 07:21

Any plan for starting an IS/KR crossover of your own, Zero?

Rokumonsen · 2013-11-12, 08:32

I'm writing a rough draft of my 1st fic as we speak. But school is really taking a toll on my spare time.

Fireminer · 2013-11-12, 08:45

Try to think everywhere you go. Making a draft on your head first. That's all I could say for.

Hmm... The idea of a crossover with Agito is a posibility. Imagine only woman could get the Seed of Light, while man use Seed of Darkness. And yet Ichika has got the Agito power, and his twin sister Madoka has got power equal of an El.
