    Personal Dilemma: Writing Darkness (Vent)

    I had to rewrite this many times and thought I might as well begin with a disclaimer. I’m not really expecting anything from this post. It is just giving voice to a dilemma I avoid normally. Say what I really feel even if it’s just on a forum. From what I can tell, my dilemma stems from being...

    Final Draft: Five-Man Band Team Dynamics

    Finally done with the main character personalities and how they will bounce off of each other. Decided to pair up Leader + Big Guy (or girl in this case) and Lancer + Smart Girl. The heart being an introvert that chimes in at times. I decided to go with a different format from usual since copy...

    Draft Idea 10: Attempting Five-Man Band

    Honestly, I’m trying to figure out how my story’s main group would interact with each other beyond their power set. More like trying to see what I can get done while writing this post. It just helps me think straight when I’m writing it down. I finally managed to get my characters decided...

    Final Draft: Alice Aegis

    (Image may not perfectly represent character.) I’m finally finished with the draft for one of the main character’s companions I’ve been introducing in my ‘Draft Idea’ posts. This is a card system battle academy that has students join together as ‘squads’ for various missions. Side note: The...

    Heroine Choice: Alice Aegis vs Tia Galarain

    Why do they both sound like made-up names? It is because they come from the same base concept of ‘was experimented on by the final boss’. Except their personality and words are completely different. The two opposing paths. Both of them are students of a card magic academy, but one was adopted...

    Character Draft: Heroine, Version 1

    It might be a bit quick to make another post after my last one, but I did find the ideas presented to be amusing enough to make me creative. I’ve come up with a female character worthy of being a ‘heroine’ with these ideas that were suggested. Story Background: A card magic academy that makes...

    Need Ideas For Character Draft

    Right now I’m working with a few plot device elements to create a character I can visualise in my head, but don’t have enough ideas at the moment to complete the draft. I’m finding it difficult to connect the dots because of that. So… The idea was based on the most shounen protagonist female...

    Draft Idea Chapter 2: The First Main Conflict

    (Context in other Draft Idea posts) I was originally planning on making a guy and girl matchup like what’s usually the norm. I had this whole thing about starting the story with a conflict of ideals… but ended up changing that to a battle between a grave robber and victim. Fritz Lazrik, the...

    Draft Idea 9: Magic System’s Main Usage

    This is an extension post to Draft Idea 8 and the gist of these posts is that I’m creating a card magic academy. I’ve already went into detail about the intended magic system, but never really talked about these ‘invisible rules’ I always bring up when someone mentions consistency. I thought...

    Fanfic Idea I Had About Fateverse

    Honestly, my love for fate and everything surrounding it isn’t strong enough to write a fanfic about it… but an idea did pop into my head while trying to figure out a way to write a progressive story without breaking the universe. The nasuverse as a whole has the type of magic system that takes...

    Why Collabs Are Real Difficult (For Me)

    My personal reason for being unable to continue a collab with someone always boils down to two reasons: Unfamiliarity with the co-writer, and not having good memory. The latter is obvious why since I can’t remember details not written down. Be it story, world building, character… I just can’t...

    Draft Idea Chapter 1: Summary And Self Reflection

    So I finished the first chapter of ‘The Thuggish Dude Goes To The Card Academy’ (pending title) and am reflecting on what I wrote. Specifically on the development rather than the writing. I’m trying to make sure my brain understands what my heart desires to write. Something like that. So I...

    Draft Idea 8: Switching The Main Character

    I originally was going to make the Card Holder the one who complicates the plot, but my mind changed thanks to some character concepts I had laying around. Now I’m thinking of making the novel reader a magic user himself in the past. And I mean that literally. In his point of view, he is a pro...

    Draft Idea 7: Concept for the Teammates

    I’ve decided to go with a mix of introducing a super-powered ‘Delinquent Syndicate’ and the Disciplinary Committee trying to bust them. It makes for an easy introduction on who can be relied on as allies and which students need a beating. The latter turning into a climactic battle. This was for...

    Draft Idea 6: First Arc Is About What?

    The poll is back, baby! With the emphasis more on what the ‘first arc’ should be centred on now that the themes of ‘materialism bad’, ‘classism bad’, and ‘dunking on the main character for being poor is a no-no’ out of the way. One thing I am keeping in mind when thinking of the first arc is...

    Draft Idea 5: How Do ‘Cards’ Work?

    The important context is above and the ‘specifics’ I’m referring to are below. I will simply be explaining the base concept rather than the knitty-gritty of the system. What inspiration I took and how I’m trying to imagine the applications. Though this may have OP bugs or inconsistencies so...

    Draft idea 3: Not following the protagonist

    With the magic system sorted and it being generally agreed that there was no inconsistency that could pose a big problem. Now I move onto Draft Idea 3, which will be how the main character will interact with the ‘main scenario’. Something that inspired me recently was “Conquering the Academy...

    Draft idea 3: Following my own ‘main scenerio’

    With the magic system sorted and it being generally agreed that there was no inconsistency that could pose a big problem. Now I move onto Draft Idea 3, which will be how the main character will interact with the ‘main scenario’. Something that inspired me recently was “Conquering the Academy...

    Draft idea 2: Weird player of the card academy.

    This is an extension of Draft Idea 1. The premise is that the MC has awakened with Card Abilities at birth in a family that doesn’t see this as being strange. At an early age, the ‘Final Boss’ analyses his ability and improved the original power system he’d introduce at the Academy. In this new...

    Draft Idea 1: My Useless Academy Squad

    I’ve thought about the rough draft idea and settled on this one. It’s a bit different from the whole ‘Gift’ system type I did when writing “An Identity Beyond Self”. That story I couldn’t continue due to IRL issues thwarting my schedule. Nor did I make enough notes. My memory isn’t the best, so...
