  1. Sliverlord Just waiting for you to walk by.

    In general yes, though it sort of depends. The post has to have content. (Which has been the bane of many an RP I've been in. Nobody's posting and the last one was mine, and there's so much to DO!)
  2. mdkcde Not good enuff.

    Here is some fresh fic that will probably leave you wanting to pour some brain bleach in bulk


    Okay, lets break it down.

    - Sonic Fandom. -5 sanity points
    -OC. -0 sanity points
    - X the something OC, -5 sanity points
    -Rated M sonic cross fic. -3 sanity points

    What's sad is that I think a Sonicverse summon would be interesting, but out of the few Sonic crossovers I've seen they all suck. What would be more interesting is if she was reverse-summoned to the Archie/SatAM-verse, where humans are a minority and feared because of Robotnik (I refuse to call him Eggman).

    When is the last time we had a real snip? Just wondering. o_O
  5. Kyte Nya!

    HEY. Don't turn this into a ZnT-themed bargepole thread. There's a reason why the original one got nuked.

    #4: No Spamming.
    Frequently repeated double posting? Usually spamming.
    Occasional incidents of double posting may be ignored as being accidental, or due to convenience when making replies in long threads - the latter is still strongly discouraged - we used to have a very good multi-quote feature, but it dropped off when we switched to BBCode. Editing, or better yet, using copy paste and notepad to compose replies to multiple posts in long threads is recommended (but can be a lot of work).
    Additionally, authors may freely double post in their own threads (preferably uploading content), and occasionally double posting to revive a dead thread is acceptable - you did the last post, but it was somewhere on the order of several hour to several weeks ago (beware necroing threads where you made the last post though - make sure to bring something new and worthwhile to the table).

    Additionally, I would like to bring attention to Rules #3, #1, #3, #11 and #3.

    Why does it being Sonic fandom automatically reduce -5 sanity points?
    ----------------
    A feeling of dread filled Louise as the dust settled from the explosion. Nothing. She failed. Her final chance and she blew it. Zero results, just like her nickname. All she could do was make things explode and-

    Why was it so dark?

    Louise glanced to the crowd around her and noticed people where wonder the same thing. As if to answer her question a few rocks fell from the sky. The pink haired mage turn her gaze skyward and lost her breathe at what she saw.

    It was an massive rock floating in the sky. No rock wasn't the write word. It looked like a smaller version of Albion.

    "How am I supposed to bind a flying island as my familiar?"

    Crossover: Sonic
    Summon: Angel Island

  8. I think that it would be interesting if Louise was reverse-summoned to Knuckles on Angel Island. Knuckles has a rough personality, and I think that the interactions between him and Louise would be volatile in more ways than one.

    Sorry if this is way off topic but I need help with something. I plan to write a snippet but I'm having problems with it. The problem is that I wanted to write in an effect where I want to write a part of the snippet that is redacted. By this I mean I write a word but is replaced by a white bold space. I remember this being a command in a keyboard but I don't remember.
  10. Darth Artemis Hero Prinny

    What, my Hayate Yagami snip has been lost to the shadows of the archives already?

    Just a guess, but maybe because it's closely tied with the furry fandom.
  11. Hey! As a fan of Sonic, Hamtaro, and Pokemon among others, I take offense at the disdain for furriness.

    On another note, anyone interested in working on that Tuon idea I suggested a few pages back? I put a fair amount of thought into it, but am not experienced enough in the Wheel to pull it off. That, and my mom has stopped me from "goofing off" with writing fanfiction so I can focus on writing "real" stories.
  12. silentcrusader Leaping couch, Silent potato

    I'm back, well here is something to chew on.
    Double Post

    Can either be:

    1) When someone posts the exact same thing twice in a row.

    2) When someone posts something then, rather than using the "edit" button, posts an elaboration or similar right after the 1st.

    3) Simply two posts by the same member, regardless of reason, after each other.
    1)
    person1: I am cool...
    person1: I am cool...
    person2: aaargh double post!

    2)
    person1: how good is an 8800?
    person1: wait I mean an 8800GTX?
    person2: try using 'edit' next time.

    3)
    person1: I am cool...
    person1: I like sausages...
    person2: idiot!

    I am not guilty of the first one, however, I am guilty of the second. Rest assured, I have seen my mistake and will correct my failing. [Who ever can notice the reference gets a wolf] Thanks Urban Dictionary! Your my hero!
  13. mdkcde Not good enuff.

    Sonicverse is okay, the kind of Sonic fandom this fic hails from however...
  14. Ars Poetica Judaic-Buddhist

    Yes and yes. Yes to both.

    I kind of wish that a Sonic Fanfic would be made that didn't suck. But the problem with that is... well... Sonic the Hedgehog has no plot. Actually, no. That's not fair. It does have a plot, but the plot is so mangled that it takes so much effort to work around that an author either ignores it completely and never works with it or makes stuff up as he goes along. Not to mention the "sexual content".

    What the fuck is it with people and furries?! It's all fun and games until it leaves the XXX forums. Sure, furries are cool. But sexual content? Are you fucking kidding me? That's not a bad joke. That's just an insult to the optic nerves. I have the utmost confidence that a Sonic crossover can be done, but the authors that pick it up and try usually ditch it after about two or three chapters. If that aforementioned Sonic Fanfic has more than four chapters, I will eat my entire wardrobe of short-sleeved collared shirts! And I have a lot of short-sleeved collared shirts!

    ...So... a Pokemon summoning? That's been done before. In fact, it's been done on several occasions. Usually it's successful because, unlike Sonic, the Pokemon world is mostly sort of kind of consistent!

    I'm not going to suggest an idea then never elaborate on that. It's frowned upon. I won't even ask the question towards a crossover since I should probably just go through the extra two clicks-worth of effort to examine the index. But I will say this: If you're going to make a Sonic crossover, you need to use the wiki every step of the way. It won't just be your friend. If you want your fic to work, you will need to visit that wiki's homepage and make dirty, dirty love to it then summarize what you discovered into something readable.

    If you have the guts to do the freaking research and get it done, I tip my hat to you. You might have something. Otherwise? No. Just... Just no.

    Bleh, it's 8:31pm, I just got online, and I'm only gonna have internet access for an hour or so. I hate not having internet access. Makes shit like this more difficult than it needs to be. ><
  16. NMS

    This discussion is making me remember an old idea I had of Louise summoning Sonic after the end of Sonic and The Black Knight. I mean, ignore the joke of an ending that had the entire game being an elaborate tale told by Sonic a an excuse as to why he skipped out of a date with Amy. Louise summoned the Sonic that was declared King Arthur and true ruler of Camelot.
  17. biigoh Hmmmm?

    Once, there was a maiden who stood beneath the gazes of the twin moons in the heavens as they performed their intricate dance amidst an uncaring audience.

    Thus, did the young maiden sigh as she wait for the appoint hour when the moons but touched each other. She was but a child, young yet and worse... pining for her beloved, as she awaited for the tryst she and her beloved had arranged.

    In notes and codes, had their plans for the tryst being agreed upon.

    She waited in the astrology room, with its many instruments to gaze upon the heavens. The spring breeze was refreshing and thus she leaned out a window. A bottle of chilled wine lay hidden in a basket with a small snack to sup upon with her beloved.

    "I do apologize," the voice was low and refined. It spoke of nobility, and held a presence that she had but experience only when she had been taken to royal court of Tristain upon the death of the old king. But that voice was one unfamiliar to her, it certainly wasn't that of her beloved, nor any of the instructors and students that she had met.

    A swift turn from where she had been gazing out the window, and the young noble maiden whose brown hair matched her cape looked upon... yellow. All the hues and permutations of yellow, was arrayed before her...

    "I am most likely in the wrong tower, as I trust that this isn't the tower of fire with the guest rooms?" A smile, or an impression of a smile, could be inferred by the slight movement of shadows.

    "This. This is the tower of air," She blinked and allowed her eyes to adjust to the darkness in the room. "Ah... are you the familiar that everyone are talking about? The... spirit? summoned by the Zero."

    An inclination of a head accompanied his response to her. "I am, indeed, the very same. If you don't mind my asking, what is such a lovely young lady such as yourself doing here all alone?"

    The quick glance by the young lady in question at her little basket was really all the answer one needed, and certainly the familiar caught on quickly. "Ah. Young love. The purest love, some say."

    The impression she got from the tone of voice, that slight smile, and how he replied. Why, he simply had to have great experience in such matters.

    "Well... I am waiting for Guiche-sama," Certainly, she could trust him. How couldn't she, did he not feel familiar and trustworthy? Certainly, it was safe for her to open her heart to him.

    ***

    "Love is slowing you down, my lady. I will catch you at last, if you love much more. "

    ***

    "And that's how I knew that Guiche-sama was the one for me," It seemed an eternity later, for the brown haired maiden, as she elucidated upon the subject of her love. A quick gaze outside showed that the moons had scarcely moved closer. Had it only been minutes?

    "Mmmmh mmmmh," The nods of appreciation as he listened to her speak. Surely, her love was pure enough that even a spirit could sense it. "Well... certainly, your love is pure. Pure enough that I am touched."

    "Please close your eyes," A simple enough request from someone that she knew she could trust. And thus she did as requested, and soon... she felt something placed in her hands. "A token of my appreciation of your time. As long as your love for your Guiche is true, so too will it shine in your words and none may deny."

    Gazing into her hand, she saw a piece of amber shaped like a goblet. And within it, trapped by cunning artifice, was a grain of sand that resembled a stylized heart. "This... I couldn't possibly accept it."

    "Please, it is but a minor token. Use it and wear it, and let your love shine as brilliantly as it did when you spoke of your love to me," the refusal to accept back the gift was accompanied by a gentle smile. "And remember to polish it in the light of the sun, for love is meant to flash as bright as the sun."

    And with that, the familiar of zero wandered off.

    Idly, the young maiden wondered if her summoning would bring forth a familiar to match that of the zero's.

    And as she pondered such things, her beloved showed up and such thoughts were put aside.

    ***

    With the advent of the new day, the young maiden floated thought her classes. Not even the monotony of having to listen to the history lessons by an ancient fossil of an instructor was enough to bring her down.

    Her Guiche-sama had admited his love for her.

    And they had done certain acts beneath the twin moons that reaffirmed the love between them. She was certain that if her friends knew what they had gotten up to, that they would surely be jealous.

    But Guiche had asked her to keep their love quiet. For surely, her reputation would be sullied if word had gotten out that she was seeing an older student.

    And so she had kept quiet during class of who she was seeing. Her friends could tell that she was seeing someone, had seen her beloved. Who, they knew not, just that she was seeing someone.

    Not even when she saw her Guiche with one of his classmates while playing with his adorable mole familiar, did her feelings go down.

    Why should it? When after speaking with them, he was happy to go with her to try out her souffle. Why he even admited that they were seeing each other to that classmate of his; letting the poor girl down from her delusions that he had some fancy for her.

    And so, she enjoyed the afternoon with her beloved, as she fed him her home-cooked souffle as promised.

    I don't understand... is this the Katie snip? Oh my god... it's the Katie snip. SOMEBODY IS DOING THE KATIE SNIP!
  19. biigoh Hmmmm?

    Oh boy. Drop the barge pole, I'm not touching that with a nine hundred foot dredger.

    You could shoot it from a thousand yards with a sniper rifle and the court would rule self-defense.
  23. linkhyrule5 Hero of Time

    Okay, enough of this.

    Biigoh? That was brilliant. I loved the way you portrayed the raksha - alien, but a master of stories.

    My one complaint was that I though it was a Sidereal of Journeys at first. (I mean, you even started with "Once, there was a maiden"!)
  24. biigoh Hmmmm?

    Thank you... as for the once there was a maiden... with time, even a story can be stolen. ^_^
  25. Flere821 ZnT LN Expert

    Just checking, are we talking about the Katie who Guiche was found out to be two-timing Montmorency? Off the top of my head we have practically jack all on her backstory, she drops off of the plot past Vol10.
