Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Sorry but I'm kinda feel stupid for asking this...

But what does wishes fic is about? Can someone tell me?
Well, wishes is the chosen theme for the competition. :)
@Itssupereffective ff- Ok I like your ideas. So we basically forget about the rating restriction.
I think we should keep the one-shot idea but forget the word limit or at least make it so that going
over the limit set isn't a bad thing

@wubbzy- I think that it will be up to the other judges personally I think that there should only be a max not a min.
Oh, alright then. Sounds good then.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Personally, I'm doing a one-shot about how I would've made "Jirachi Wish Maker". Done to death, I know, but I figure I'll give it a shot.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

I'll post the rules that we have thus far:

1) Entries should relate to the theme (wishes) in some way
2) The entries must be one-shots, no more than 5k words
3) 1 entry per contestant
4) Deadline for entries May 29

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

Although, I think we could loosen up a bit with the 5K thing. I mean, a couple hundred above 5K should be alright.

Nope because that defeats the purpose of a one shot if it goes too long, I would rather have it be 3k at most but I fell that 5k should be more than enough.

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

You know beastmode I'm starting to agree with you with what you were really angry about. And I just realized that I actually had registered Itssupereffective but forgot I did. But anyway like I said in my last post 5k nothing more.

Not really. I've read some that go above 10K, and most I've read already go far above 5K. But whatever floats your boat.

Also, just to take some time away from the competition, I'll ask a new question.

Do you have a personal favorite author that you take inspiration from that writes Advanceshipping fanfics?

Most of you should already know mine; definitely CyberCubed, the author of "Two of a Kind." Besides "A Day Inside May" (google it), all of her works are just superb.

Well I've also seen a 285k one shot so just because someone does it doesn't make it right. And after a one shot goes over 5k in my opinion it's basically a story that probably should have been a two shot or something more. But I have seen some one shots that went over 5k that just made perfect sense and were amazing like Starcrossed so I see where you're coming from.

285K sounds a bit... excessive. That's about the sum of words in a lot of complete chaptered fics. Yeah, I definitely see your point of view as well, because they can get to be a bit long and drawn out.

I'd also like to state that I probably won't be very active here, as I'll be working on my one-shot, Adaptation, and re-reading Two of a Kind for the seventh time. (Yes, I've counted. That's how good that story is, folks.)

Re: AdvanceShipping Nation

I have a lot of inspiration.. Well,as far as I know and loved it!

-PikamasterADV

-Gerbilftw

-King's Fist

-Torchix

-zeaeevee

-sheltie(Too many stories LOL!)

Those 6 were definitely my most favourite writers since I was first start advanceshipping fics!(Can't remember which one was first that I read.. I guess.. May's Crush final frontier..)
Even so,some of them also had some grammars error but I didn't mind about that.. As long as I enjoyed and understand fics.It perfect enough for me.

But still,even I have some great inspiration.My grammar was not that great though but I'll give a try this time for sure!(Hope I've enough time because I still have some of my own lauguage fics not finished)

No... oddly...

I actually started writing fanfiction because there was a story that I liked, but the author ruined the concept, so I set off to make my own.

which one? I got mad over a lot of things lol and shit 5k huh. That's tough. But I got something lol. Hope an AU fic is ok.

#1LuciferIX-If youve read my fics you would know why. I would take up a lot of space if i said all the reasons why.

#2 Gerbilftw-I love his dark ash fics and hes just a cool guy to talk to. Really gives great advice.

#3 S. Muffin-Cares about her readers and can get a point across in her stories with the least words possible(TRUST ME THATS HARD)

#4 MidnightMoon602/Wings of Rain/The Shiny Gengar-Creavitve plotlines,twists, and great emotion in their fics.

I guess that covers it for now lol if i missed anyone im sorry..yeah

...Aaaand, there goes my amazing idea. Oh well, wishes can be done in a range of different ways. Better start brainstorming.

EDIT: Could I do a spin-off one-shot of my main AS fanfic?

I don't see why not, just make sure it makes sense to people who haven't read it.

On another note...

I'd like to suggest a rule, it just came to mind.

The contestants should not receive any outside help, no beta readers or anything.

Sound fair?

Oh yeah didn't think about that. I agree no outside help should be a rule but we need majority vote to make this a rule so I await to see what Raichu and Porahgon feel about it. If this does become a rule I expect to see a lot of Drew bashing from beastmode.
