Re: AdvanceShipping Nation
I have a Final Fantasy 13 oneshot that was nearly 12K...too long but i didn't want to make it into a two-shot.
Yes i do agree, 5k is pretty much the mininum. I mean sure 5K as max is great but for people that have been writing for years 5K is kinda too little. But that's just my view. ^^;
But there are also very short well written oneshots that may not have much words but the emotions just wants to make you cry.
Well we didn't expect to hear info about Drew, Harley and Solidad so keep hopes up! but i do agree that Pokemon got this thing that when one girl leaves, a ''year'' later she comes back. WHERES THE DEVELOPMENT? She's, to me, has returned in the anime too quickly. She just had her own little special just a few months and now POOF she is in Unova for an unknown reason atm. Unlike Misty or May they returned with evolved Pokemon (Misty, Gyradoes with Hyperbeam and May with Wartortle, Venasaur and Glaceon and Beautifly with a new learnt move, Arial Ace.) and with the returning time span as Dawn.
But what can i do? It was kinda expected Dawn would get a little more love since she was on our screens for more than 5+ years. (Right now here in Australia there re-running the second season of DP for about the eight time now so seeing her again is kinda making me...tried of seeing her. Not that i don't like her or anything!)
Is there anything at all that is keeping anyone from entering and if so how can I or gengar help?
2 things I suggest to change.
1) Allow any word length. If they ramble, that's their problem. If its long but perfect, props to them. 5K is WAYYYYY to short a limit anyway.
2) Be more formal. Like either a) make another thread for it or b) consistently establish who the current judges are, the current contestants, the current rules, etc.
I disagree, I think that for a one shot, 5k is the right amount. But since we disagree on this how about we go by majority? Whatever Raichu chooses then that will be the official rule.
I'm not sure my point is being understood. There truly is no point to a world limit. if they make a story that's not a oneshot, but is made into one (like a 2 shot made into a oneshot) then that detracts from the story. If they make a story that rambles for too long that severely detracts from the story. Oneshots can be any length (heck I have one that's 10K), but the point is that they:
a) are easily understood
b) are NOT a novel
c) are well written.
That's the qualifications for a oneshot. No offense, but if the judges don't want to read a oneshot over 5K, then this contest may as well not even happen since it is impossible to make a fair, good contest with a word limit on oneshots.
Do you see yourself as an AdvanceShipper in the future (like 10/20 years from now)? Please specify.
You know I thought I would have ditched this ship by now since most parts of my childhood from 6 years ago are a thing of the past for me, but I;ve hung on. So I think I'll still, if not openly then at least secretly, be a supporter.
And as for Dawn returning, honestly it's hard for me to say. I would lie to you and tell you I'm surprised, but honestly I feel like the devs at Pokemon Studios favor leaving characters in the blue a little too much. So as soon as I heard that they gave Dawn a specific course of action, I was like "Great, see you again in a year"
