  • well the essay itself is only 10,000 words, but I'm supposed to have read about 50 books and articles for it and so far I'm on 15... lots of reading still to do before I can even write the thing
    I know, that part is exciting! the fact that I have soooo much to do before its actually finished is the scary bit :)
    really, you always seem to have some kind of test or something going on :) Mind you I can't exactly speak much but then I am at uni lol
    hey! yeh I know :( I've got 10 days left til my dissertation is in so everything is pretty manic at the moment. How are things going for you?
    I'm aware, but I need rest. Send me the details and go read KTR, please. I doubt anyone else will...
    Lulz =L Wait, when does A.D come into it? I'm just curious as to if you've already done his part...
    Considering the last chapter was only 6 long, I wouldn't say so. Besides, it doesn't bore people with incrediously long chapters, as I've heard many complain about.
    Just remember that the whole all-emcompassing point and goal of the fic is to tell the story of your main character. What happens to him, how he grows, who he meets, the relationships he makes, the struggles he encounters, the successes he enjoys, the emotions he feels. The point is not to exhilerate people with countless battles, that should only be part of it.

    Your main character is who your focus should revolve around when you are writing. A successful story will have a MC whom the readers will root for and relate to and someone who they care about. If you accomplish that, the readers will be begging for more!
    Good point. Yeah, I've found that character interaction is perhaps the most important part of any story. People reading are humans, so human interaction is perhaps the biggest tool you have in attracting and keeping readers. If the story has really interesting plot and characters who interact well, you have the best chance at getting the most readers.

    Just think about Harry Potter, probably the most popular kids/teen books are our generation: It would be nothing with only magic action and battling happening the whole time... the draw is the complex relationship that all the main characters have: Harry and Ron and Hermoine, Harry and Voldy, Harry and Dumbledore, Dumbledore and Voldy, Voldy and his minions, etc. All different kinds of relationships that are all explored and presented very well by JKR.
    Yes, we have no readers; just how insane is that? XP One would think that, as writers, they'd want to help other writers, knowing how hard it is, but... few do DX (and to top it, the staff is damned busy in real life; it's kind of our moral duty to give every single story a chance with a review)

    And on Bulbanews, the Workshop would write the article, not the Bulbanews people; they'd just publish it for us, or give us permission to do so.
    We'll try getting someone into Bulbanews next time, or ask an admin for a forum-wide announcement, or something... We definitely need more participation.

    However, this time around we also had the English release of Black and White, so the Workshop was no one's priority; everyone wanted to play, and visit Bulbapedia so they could help their game too, not read fanfics.

    ...it was a horrible timing for the Spring Awards, and there wasn't much planning, unfortunately. Everything could have been tended to if there had been :-(
