It must be Tuesday is dead for good, and I finally made it past that. But the author of over the edge keeps saying it's not dead, and updates maybe once a year and it hurts me.

Honestly, the cover and name are lazy and the description is kinda lame but this fic turned out to be an absolute gem, not sure why I don't see this discussed more. Probably cause I have bad taste. But yeah, the characterization is great, with frequent development between characters, the themes of both series compliment each other really well and the pacing is more or less on point most of the time. The author knows when to switch the tone from typical MGS camp to dark and tragic at all the right times. The major battles are always well set up, and my favorite part is how the environment is often the key feature in how a battle plays out, which is why the author spends a good amount of exposition describing the layout of areas.

Really loving it so far.

Quantum Castaways is pretty fucking good. It was dead for about 3 years IIRC, but the author just recently posted a new chapter a couple of months ago.

Meh, I'm giving it a chance until it gets past 200 chapters. This is a skirts fic after all, remember how fucking awful Austraeoh was at the start, not to mention fucking Appledashery's 1000 chapters of shipfic with no shipping.

That's because Biscuit jumped on the "chapter-a-day" bandwagon and started writing https://www.fimfiction.net/story/317740/silver-glows-journal
That story's almost over, though, so assuming the guy's not completely burned out from writing 5,000 words of nothing every day for months on end, OTPP should start updating again in a month or two.

>>29587408

This has happened to me five times now, and each idea is still bouncing around in my head.

>>29589315
Best thing to do is to have a friend to bounce ideas off of and to let each other's thoughts play off each other.

>>29589326
I've done that too. Ended up with a general outline of a story.

Then I ran into the problem of "I can't write worth a damn."

>>29589332
>Then I ran into the problem of "I can't write worth a damn."

that's not a problem at all when it comes to fanfiction! in fact, you should write some greens right away.

kidding aside, you'll never EVER ***EVER*** improve if you're too afraid of sucking shit until you're good. that's the big thing: if you want to be good at something bad enough you will take your lumps and learn from them.

>>29587431
Are you talking about Whiplash?
I fucking love that story, And read it now and again. The Author basically fucked off for two years, then came back to write the god awful sequel.

Fuck the generals. Fff-f-f-fuck the generals.

Austraeoh was indeed great. Imo Ledomare started out slow but eventually delivered big time. Personally I started having issues with the pacing around the Quade and it never really recovered.
I still want it to go on, though.

No. The best thing about it was the daily 5-minute dose of "cute pony doing cute things". There's too much filler if you're going to sit down and read straight through it like a normal story.

Oh no, I just ran out of threads to post with and I can't be arsed to change the ip.

>>29584323

Supposedly it's just on hiatus and will continue later. I find it funny that the last published chapter is called "Waiting is the hardest part".

I see this shit happen a lot to creative people. They love doing what they do. Then they set up a Patreon, because people want to pay them for creating stuff. Suddenly, their hobby turns into an actual job, and the added stress means it's no longer fun and they suddenly become a lot less creative. There should be a warning or something. If you like your hobby, don't set up a Patreon.
