Lun already said it. Time is money, but money cannot buy time.

And as for the maintenance, all you need to do is inject the fuel, with occasional battery replacement when it broke, and software parameter adjustment and debug. Frankly, the only problem of using cyborg parts these days is moral and personal values, and the law prohibit them due to destructive potential than anything else.

*shrug* MGR cyborgs were made for war. Those who aren't lucky turn into one unwillingly, just wanting prosthesis but are still shunned by society. Even if you aren't military grade chances are you won't get a normal job and will be ostracized by society. Basically cyborgs there are made for conflict or are forced into it.

Exactly

Though there's always possibility of using high grade synthetic skin, 99% of normal people will just regrow their arms or legs than channeling robocop.

demino_hellsin · 2013-03-21, 01:48

but even those cyborgs are outcasts. But that's in metal gear canon. How you handle your fanon will be different.

ZeroXSEED · 2013-03-21, 03:11

As I said, high grade prosthetic is outlawed... and damn expensive to buy. Anyone need such aren't common people.

And despite the supposed feature, it wasn't exactly like superhumanly gamebreaker MGS cyborg, more like Ghost in the Shell one.

Whereas low grade prosthetic rarely used anyway, due to aforementioned reason.

demino_hellsin · 2013-03-21, 03:20

Cecilia lately in LN's feels a bit more likable no? After she starts taking her job somewhat seriously.

ZeroXSEED · 2013-03-21, 03:24

Yeah

Wanted to bring that out ASAP in my fic as well

demino_hellsin · 2013-03-21, 03:27

I bring this up because I'm contemplating on moving on from Chifu-chan... I introduced her to Gen-chan after all T_T

DarkJak2050 · 2013-03-21, 15:54

[Sighs]

I don't know guys...

I just can't start writing my fic's 2nd storyarc. I know what I want to write, but I just simply can't write it. Even if I found the time to do it.

Feels like that I've lost my drive again...

demino_hellsin · 2013-03-21, 18:33

Write something else. Or go back to your source material for a bit. That's about the best I can give you. You might just be bored with the current idea in your head.

Eratas123 · 2013-03-21, 18:48

Hmm, nothing to do so far. Writing IS fanfiction honestly feels so straining what with the overzealous readers who call for the Mary Sue label a bit too much.

demino_hellsin · 2013-03-21, 18:52

Indeed. I wrote an OC ability in to aru thread. I thought it was OP and nobody batted an eyelash O.o

In comparison, you just bring out a unit similar to IS and fans scream "OMFG HAX SUE!"

ZeroXSEED · 2013-03-21, 19:16

@ jak
Indeed, what Demi said. If not work, try Stratos' approach by writing different parts of the story one by one, even at random order.

@ OC
Coupled with many, MANY author who DID commit the sin of creating Stu and/or Sue, either totally innocent or totally knew and run with it.

To be honest the line is quite thin, look at Stratos' Athena and jak's silverback, both are different, but mostly acceptable when it comes to power level.

Strigon 13 · 2013-03-21, 19:49

^ Actually that's the biggest fear for a writer when creating a character (be fanfiction or not). Athena and Silverback are (in my opinion at least) acceptable inside the lines of OCs without getting into the feared Sue/Stu.

@Eratas

People like that exist everywere, not only on the IS section, and they're anoying as hell.

ZeroXSEED · 2013-03-21, 20:02

Athena CAN be stronger than I.S. in certain circumstances, at least, the older one. Silverback is built with intention of DEFEATING I.S. They have high concept that's against fandom's view, but the presentation is well enough that the readers can understand and accept.

And it's been critically accepted here, that one of THE earliest mainstream I.S.O.C., Kyuukai Tokiwa, is marty stu to the core. But again, presentation is handled much, much better than typical route. He's plot black hole, he's also a gamebreaker, but even then, readers cannot saw him as abomination like most marty stu is, they saw him as character despite. Ichika still there, important and kicking ass. Harem got longly deserved character development, and kicking ass.

It's not that I'm bored with what I'm writing. I know that this sounds confusing but, I have this feeling that I want to write it, but I just can't. And it's not out of boredom.

I could be something else outside of my fic that I feel is what's preventing me from writing it.

ZeroXSEED · 2013-03-21, 20:13

It could be stress actually

Try to relax, or hell, stop writing for a while, taking a note or two if you feel something is important and you might forget it. When you recover, you'll write a dozen paragraph of the fic before you knew.

blitz1/2 · 2013-03-21, 20:13

@Zero: Sent ch 13 corrected to u.

My solution is to just find entertainment which boosts your motivation (mine is watching dark anime/visual novels, just watched madoka movie 2 in my country and just increased my motivation for a bit)

@Jak: I know that feeling, especially when writing fics (my Fate/Madoka fic). Especially when my motivation is like fuel for writing fics, but it is like a roller coaster, it goes up and down without a constant flow.

ZeroXSEED · 2013-03-21, 20:22

THANK YOU!

@Jak: how about listen to some music to relax? A song or even a game can be useful at the time to create an scenario.
