Infinite Stratos Character Creation and Fanfiction Discussion

[ZeroXSEED]

No, the system still testing the forum for stability, because, well, there's more post than there's stories. It will be allowed for stories as soon as it was proven millions of 'book cover' won't make the server slowing down too much

Oh, and the avatar size is improved, better make some 'adjustment'

However, I asked a friend to post it in TvTropes Page anyway.

[Eratas123]

I'm stuck on which story to update:/

[ZeroXSEED]

First of all, write what you think you can write. The mood, the ideas, time allocated, etc

For example, I have no idea in the slightest for Sacred Twins, no mood for that, and Blitz was busy enough as of now. In short, it's seriously inconvenient to write that.

[Eratas123]

Want me to proof read it?

[ZeroXSEED]

Blitz is taking charge in most of chapter 13. Which mean I have nothing left about ST to proofread as of now.

I plan to complete first TLR chapter this week, however, so, can I ask for your help?

[Eratas123]

Fine with me I have to the next part of IKaron anyway.

[DarkJak2050]

Fanfic spotted.

The Swimsuit Competition

Oh crud, I don't like the sound of that...

[Eratas123]

Don't worry about it, it's just a comedy fic and the descriptions don't go to purple prose detail.

Anyway, to anybody who's read IS, I found something similar:

http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/in...no_Blade_Dance

Just replace "IS" with "Spirits" and it's basically the same situation. The guy's a bit smarter and pro-active compared to Ichika and less of a dunce.

Here's a snippet:

Spoiler:

....*Guu*, suddenly his stomach growled.

Feeling exhausted, Kamito lowered his arm that was raised towards the roof.

After all, he had not had anything to eat since wandering into the spirit forest this morning.

However, he decided to endure his empty stomach.

The reason was that he was out of money. Although there were restaurants for the students in the academy, the
price was surprisingly high. This had already passed the level of a school for high class ladies, a school for princesses
indeed.

What's the point of one cup of soup being as expensive as normal folk's salary?

"It can't be helped. Maybe I'll ask Ellis to show me around the academic town tomorrow. "

One should be able to find cheaper and delicious restaurants in the academic town at the foot of the hill.

With the cooking utensils, he could also just buy the materials and cook it on his own. For the fire all he needed to
do was to go to the spirit forest and catch some low level fire spirits.

"Bacon and mushroom pasta sounds really good..."

He got more hungry by thinking about food.

"Should I go to the Spirit Forest and collect some mushrooms now?"

As he started to seriously entertain that thought, from somewhere, the smell of delicious soup flowed in.

"....hmm?"

Frowning, Kamito got up from the bed.

It seemed the smell was coming in from the gap of the half opened door.

Twitching his nose to inhale the smell, Kamito opened the door...

In front of him was a bowl of soup that gave off white steam.

Filled with a lot of onions and chicken with bones, the soup looked delicious.

"... am I imagining things, or is this the kindness from heaven for my unending misfortune?"

Drawing a blank because of the hunger, Kamito reached out with his hands toward the bowl without any suspicion.

Suddenly the bowl rose up a bit.

He stretched out his hand again.

Once again the bowl was raised.

Then in front of the Kamito was the face of that princess with platinum-blond hair.

Her name should be Rinslet Laurenfrost if he remembered correctly.

Behind her, the girl Carol in maid dresses stood courteously.

"What's the meaning of this?"

Kamito asked with half opened eye.

"Fuu, you must be hungry, right? Kamito Kazehaya?"

"Yeah."

Kamito nodded honestly.

"Bark, woof, and then swear that you will be my slave, and I'll let you have this bowl of soup."

Rinslet held the bowl still, and puffed up her large chest.

"I refuse. Bye Bye."

*Bang.*

"Ahh, wait, wait a second. Listen to what I say, you insolent person."

*Bang!* *Bang!* The door was kicked repeatedly .

It would be trouble if she breaks it. Kamito opened the door again.

"What's that? Are you going to let me have the soup now?"

"Right away if you lick my foot ... Ah, why are you closing the door again!"

Rinslet quickly stuck her foot into the gap of the door, like a veteran debt collector.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

It looked painful... What the hell was she here for anyway?

"Are you alright, my lady?"

Worried about Rinslet, the Maid Carol asked.

Kamito had no choice but to open the door, Rinslet glared at him with tears in her eyes.

"How can you be so insolent after I offered my hands of kindness towards you? "

"No, you... hands of kindness?"

It appeared that she was serious. Slowly Kamito's head starts aching.

Sheesh, all the princesses of this academy are so troublesome.

Kamito complained inside his mind.

"Ah-"

After Rinslet got a glimpse of the inside of the hut, her face started to twitch.

"Ah, you, why are you living inside a stable?"

"The stable is next door. This is my dormitory. Home is where you make it."

"..."

"Stop looking at me with such pity. It makes me feel sad."

Her face looked like that she was seriously concerned about it. Kamito's attitude softened a little bit.

"Rather than living in a condition like this, you should come to my house. I'll specially hire you as a servant."

"Ah, my lady, I believe he will look great if we dress him as a maid."

Carol showed her support with a big smile. This girl was troublesome as well.

Well, after all, it looked like that Rinslet was genuinely worried about the circumstances.

"Your sympathy is appreciated, but I don't plan to throw away my pride." Kamito shook his head.

Displeased, Rinslet perked up her lips.

"So you don't like becoming my servant?"

"That's right. It is no use to try to placate me."

Already he looks less like an ass.

[HasuMasu]

^ Oh damn, that is definitely IS.

[Eratas123]

With a less idiotic protag. At least he has basic human dignity compared to the guy with the perpetual "Kick Me!" sign on his back.

[demino_hellsin]

If we took the characters of black lagoon and pit them against IS... who would win? O.o?

apples and oranges maybe but the chances of these none IS users?

[ZeroXSEED]

D'oh

Why I always end up with draft unrelated to the chapter I write?

Spoiler for Flat what:

She should have listen to him, but no, her massive ego was talking, and her pride is at stake. The glove is thrown, and thus the battle between Chinese Cadet Representative and United Nations Aerospace Trooper, ended with the former defeated soundly.

Magenta colored unit sat on the corner of the arena, largely undamaged, but almost out of energy, just enough to sustain physical materialization.

Yui Kotegawa was the young Trooper's name, her face is expressionless, stood proudly donned in the standard configuration of Raphael Revive. It's as seems as the defeated enemy's not worth her gaze.

Huang Ling Yin, often called Rin, was truly humiliated.

"Is that's the best you can do?"

Rin was too shocked to reply. Kotegawa noticed that and her stiff expression had mellowed, and looked at Rin directly in the eyes. She was not looking her down either, it was a honest attempt for a proper eye contact.

"It's sad isn't it? If you let your strength conquer you, there's only sadness and destruction"

Rin managed to get a glimpse of her, confused.

"Hey, Kotegawa, aren't you a little too harsh?"

She looked at him, another Trooper, Gotanda Dan, half covered with his rather massive unit, exposing his upper body.

"You know better than that"

Dan just sighed and carried Rin, who had lost her I.S. as of now, out of the arena. It wasn't until they arrived at the infirmary that Rin regained her logic.

"What... what the hell? Why is that you of all people carrying me?"

"Because it's convenient, captain" he retorted rather calmly, "Besides, you don't want him to see this side of you right?"

"Bah, it's useless" she spat in response " He knew, and he always knew, that's why.... ever since we met, he knew I was weak... that I was this pathetic and miserable"

"That's why he act as if nothing happen, as if nothing changed."

Dan just sheepishly smile and rub his temple "I better leave before my head explode"

Rin noticed that Dan winked at her before he left, turns out, the boy they're talking was right outside, and probably heard all of it it.

"It's all a lie"

"I don't say anything"

"... what if it was a truth"

"Then I will try to believe it" he drag a small chair and sat beside her "If you can't trust your friend, what is the meaning of friendship again?"

She can't reply. He was right, she never trust anyone, she always lying and hiding behind her brute facade, and left broken when that facade shatter.

"I am no God, if you don't say anything, I would never knew... and it's not like I am a saint either"

She raised her eyebrow on that statement, it's a rare time for Ichika to be philosophical, he always been a practical guy as far as she can remember.

"Even now, I still haven't found my true strength and that's why"

A 160 cm long scimitar materialized midair, and he caught it easily. "Chifuyu-nee lend her strength to me, in form of this sword... until someday I could find my own... "

The sword disappear into particles of light as he stood, looking at the warm, serene sunset, painting the sky with gold and orange.

"If I remember clearly, we're having our promise around this time right? You said..."

"If I could improve my cooking skill, you will eat my Sweet and Sour Pork everyday, right?"

He remember it, word by word, somewhat too literal to her disappointment, but he never actually forget.

Rin smiled.

"Yeah, you are right"

[demino_hellsin]

Question. More for the sake of wording than anything.

Is it possible to be tired without doing anything?

[ZeroXSEED]

^ Tired of waiting, nuff said.

[HasuMasu]

So if you don't upload a cover the default image is your profile picture?

I can live with that.

[demino_hellsin]

@zero: Yeah, the situation is kind of like that what's a good word?

EDIT: Also, at what time do normal Japanese schools usually end?

[ZeroXSEED]

I'm no good with prose, so better ask Eras.

School usually ends at 16.00 (04:00 P.M.)

@ Senpai - Click the link

Anyway, how fail would it be if you point a gun at someone then throw the gun at them rather than shooting them?

[ZeroXSEED]

It's depends on the portrayal really, Kira Yamato of Gundam SEED and Kamina of Guren Lagann both do that, one is realistically pacifist while the other is justifiably don't know about gun whatsoever. Kira's scene is serious and not that pathetic, while the later is absurdly humorous.
