#I HAVE 8 CHAPTERS LEFT

[kenzan-kiwami]

to be completely frank i think most of the people i've seen with major complaints regarding RGG 8's story are forgetting that 99% of what they're saying can be applied across the whole series

#this is not aimed at anyone in particular i've seen these sentiments all over #but things like 'well the story was mid' ok well come back to me after you've replayed yakuza kiwami. no optional majima everywhere allowed #and things like the ending falling flat - sure. but so did 7's #the pacing in the end chapter + chekhov's failboy were like. huh??? #i'm never gonna call RGGS perfect but they're NOT regressing at all. #if anything gaiden and 8 have got me extremely hopeful for whatever comes next #like it's their 20th anniversary this year they've left so many loose ends in 8 they can carry on from they've got forever to keep going #MY only complaint is that they couldn't have retrofitted more of gaiden into IW but i can't exactly fault them for that #idk for all of the dooming i'm seeing i want to say something more positive about the game as a whole #even if this post is still pretty doom & gloom #people just let their expectations get way too high for this one game and i'm not even sure how that happened in most cases #it met all of mine - hell it EXCEEDED them. but i recognise i may be privileged on that front lol <- kashiwagi likers are eating so well rn #text #8 #again i don't mean to attack anyone in particular it's just a general frustration i've been having #and i only hope that if there comes a time when people play over again that they're able to dig further into the meat of the story #and recognise that this game isn't uniquely 'shit' or 'mid'

i will now be creating an annual event for myself called Ha-Sike! Not Abandoned You Fools where I will update a fic* every day for a week

*fic that hasn't been updated in a year

i have nine of those btw so kudo's to me for being a very reliable author

#to be fair... TO BE FAIR!!! #i have like 32 works now #35 or so including my other accounts #so im not!!! that bad!!! #im just not good at finishing my longfics #whoops.. erm... my b #anyway this is low-key not a /j bc maybe if i make it an annual event ill finish indefinite within the decade #im not sure when ill make this event. but it'll happen. prepare yourselves!! #one random week youll get an onslaught of updates from me #from very old fics #itll be great. fantabulous even #or maybe ill just focus on one fic and update every day #maybe the event will be like 'update every day until you finish the fic and have it as complete' #THAT would work better actually #indefinite has 8 chapters left #*squinting* #mayhaps...

"What was the point of the ss qualifying round and the secret orders" The point was that happyele wanted to make a total drama AU for their idol game

So like certified bad day. My grandma died this morning and now I'm sick???? Bro come on

#bonus points for. the only photos of me w my Grandma are from me under 8 years old #so like. i wasnt close to her at all but death is v triggering for me w how badly my parents fumbled the bag w grief when i was growing up #brief context. mum got mad at me that my v close friend died like a week after her dad died bc she couldn't do two things at once #so everyone rallied around her in her grief and i went to two funerals and like ??? rotted i guess. #dad was in his painkiller era lol #anyway so im probably not gonna go to the funeral bc im just gonna be triggered the whole time #im less grieving her as a person and more grieving the fact that i never really. had grandparents. #like i barely ever saw her #even though i lived in the same city as her #i googled her name earlier and found out she wrote a chapter in a book about domestic abuse #and thats really the most ill ever know about her #i wanna read the chapter but idk #if it turns out that my grandpa was abusive and then my grandma left my mum and aunt with him by themselves to move to bali #im probably not gonna be thrilled #anyway even thats basically just closer to learning stories about people i dont know #wouldnt it have been nice to have. a family

Mike verbally confirming that bc it's Will's pov we just aren't seeing mike looking at him. He looks at him, oh, he looks at him all the time, he notices everything about Will. That he's moping that he's rolling his eyes that he wasn't talking (that he was ignoring him) and that ruined his entire day. He looks at Will, Will just doesn't see him. So we don't either.

#lack of mike pov literally going to put me six feet under #st5 i am waiting PATIENTLY #because will's an unreliable narrator we are missing key parts of mike as a whole character which is WHY he seems so shallow #ruined his entire day* #*said after his gf was publicly harassed #mike let me inside ur head i swear i will clean up after im done #mike wheeler #byler #byeler #will byers #stranger things #mike wheeler is gay #i love slowburns except when i dont #quite literally exactly like that time i read an extreme slowburn & when i finished it there was only one chapter left to be uploaded- #-and the main character STILL HADNT SAID I LOVE YOU #YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW FRUSTRATED I WAS BC THEY STARTED OUT ALREADY IN LOVE THEY WERE JUST TORTURED FOR 40 CHAPTERS #have to spend my time inside the head of this dumbass who refused to confess and also somehow is too stupid to see that they love u back #anyway yeah thats what this feels like. like im one chapter away from the end #technically were like 8 chapters from the end but thats irrelevant to my metaphor

[wakinguponsaturday]

me @ me: stop thinking about your 'permanently on hiatus' teen Inquisitor fic. it's been 7 years. you are so busy right now you don't have time to pick this back up

me @ me: she was ELEVEN when the mage rebellion started. she was sent to the Templars as a political maneuver to bolster her family's reputation when she was EIGHT. her sister died in her arms days before they received word of the conclave. and you're just going to abandon her. wow

#dragon age #dai #im sorry i ever left you lil baby trevelyan #and i want to rewrite the first 8 chapters SO bad. i was apparently addicted to sentences with minimum 3 clauses at 17 #i have ideas again! fuck! #the newest one is that shes actually only 15 when the conclave happens but she lies and tells josie that shes 16 #because thats a 15yo thing to do and then she would be too anxious to admit she lied #and then when everyone goes to celebrate her 18th birthday in the time bw the endgame and trespasser #shes like okay i have to come clean about this. im so sorry. and everyone goes why??? did you do this?????? why not just say 18 then?? #and she goes i honestly dont know what to tell you i was more panicked than ive ever been in my entire life and then i ran with it #god. i missed my anxiety ridden child #emery #em.chats

[bronzefuryfic]

also chapters and chapters of continuity about Rhae’s injury now being able to payoff in shared experience of recovery with Aemond>>

#Yay for long term payoffs to decisions you made in the first chapter over a year ago!! #Haven’t left driftmark yet but I’m really excited to dig into the chapters leading up to the ep. 8 time jump #I was kind of aware that i did this but i switched tenses sometime last chapter and ive been stuck in present ever since #It took me way too long but I realized by the end I’d done it but never really identified where it happened #But i went back and i think its from when Baela says ‘what do you want’ on #Which was unintentional? But kind of an interesting place for it to happen. #I think this is because i was following the episode so heavily and it started ~feeling~ more present because of that #But like i shouldn’t have done that and I’m trying to find a good place to switch it back LMAO #Im sorry if people didn’t notice that and it didn’t bother them but i let it ride last chapter and now its really bothering me #Deluding myself into thinking it’ll count as a stylistic choice if I switch back in an interesting way #This is why i think whenever i actually finish i want to do like. A remastered version #Where i do some editing with the full knowledge of what the story ended up being #Just gotta get to that point first lololol

[eponymousfics]

i'm sorry i'm like. a good 6,000 words into writing a shane stardew valley fic atm

i had a screen-induced migraine and was forced to stay off the computer for two days but i was having stardew withdrawals I HAD TO DO SOMETHING

#i don't want this to be multi chapter is it going to be multi chapter idk #like. fuck it COULD be just one super long thing but #lkasjdfaklsdjf 5 chapters. maybe 5 chapters. #meeting/establishing/pivot/pining/dating/married/fixing that garbage 14 heart event/epilogue #ok that's 8 chapters but still #i literally filled 30+ notebook pages front and back over the weekend #i wrote for the better part of 12 hours and had to switch off to my left hand at some points bc my right hand hurt lol #i'm not ambidextrous but i can write semi-legibly with my left even though it's a hell of a lot slower #but THIS IS NOT THE SAD MAN I NEED TO BE FOCUSING ON I HAVE SO MANY OTHER SAD MEN FICS AWAITING UPDATES #why am i like this #epon rambles

[spiritofjustice]

i think once i've finished act 2 of SOBR i might take a break to start editing cause i'm so fucking behind on editing chapters rn KRJF

admittedly i did edit chapters 9 through 11 but i wanna go over them again, then if this next chapter is the last chapter of act 2 like i think it is then i have to edit 12-16 LOL

i have 17-19 edited already bcs i wrote them two months ago but i have to edit them for continuity. you understand. i wrote them before i did any work on act 2 so gotta make sure everything said in those chapters meshes with what actually happens in act 2. i know some things changed so i'll have to make some tweaks to dialogue basically, but that shouldn't be difficult at all.

#psy's no punctuation posts #SOBR tag #and i only have 1-8 and 17-19 up on the doc for like. friends reading it #so lots of work to do to get the rest of the chapters ready lol #editing break and then figure out where to go from here #i gotta get familiar with those last 3 chapters to remember where i left off n what my plans should be on approaching the rest #waaaa it's so close... #it's gonna take a few days to write chapter 16 though bcs i have a lot of ground to cover but once it's done act 2 is OVER

[fr0gg13b413]

fuck you. i didn’t know what whump meant (this is my villain origin story)

[jonny-b-meowborn]

Happy 20 000 words in my therian mechs fic to anyone who celebrates (me)

#actually 20707 now didnt notice the 20000 mark lmao #finished 7th chapter........ #i already wrote a lil bit of the 8 (final one) before so i have a good start in it #so now i have to finish that one. and also i wanted to have like an extra chapter happening after the fic #but i think im gonna post it first then work on that #cause its not as important and i dont have any specificplans for it #i dont want to keep this fic unshared for too long just for this chapter that may not even be ever made #so like #i have idk. 2/3 of a chapter to write left #and then ofc going through it checking for any errors n shit #ough im so close to being done with it #genuinely cant wait to share it even if like two people will read it #bee buzz

[manicpixiedreamcurl]

Me every time I start a new chapter: this one's gonna be manageable, I can't keep writing chapters longer than my dissertation

Me three months later: 10,000 words is perfectly manageable for readers with GRIT

#and then i get confused that it took so long #tmyg is 10000 words away from being long enough to be a novel so that's fun for me #haha. #ha. #i have 8 chapters left in my plan we're not even half way see you october 2024

[forecast-rain]

[asymmetricboys]

am i the only writer who does not find comments of “please continue!!” or “we need another chapter!!” to be a compliment on a fanfic and lowkey find them deeply grating instead

like how do i make it clear in my author notes at the start that i don’t write serialized things, i am writing a complete story where the word count is the fucking word count and the chapter count is the FUCKING CHAPTER COUNT, and warn people i get insulted if they ask for more... like it feels like im a chef who made a perfectly portioned meal designed to be the exact correct balance and serving of those ingredients and then someone loudly tells me (usually without even actually complimenting the food first) that I should bring them seconds. and im just standing there like the chef in that murdering chef movie like ‘if u question my fucking JUDGEMENT ON LENGTH u question me as an artist’???

i for real for real 100 per cent know it is not that deep but i cannot help it, my brain goes ‘u think i don’t know when THE END of my own story is???’

like unless i explicitly state in the final author notes that i am thinking about writing an epilogue or a sequel, i just straight up don’t want to see people asking for more. like i KNOW you’re trying to give me a compliment, but please just learn how to tell me something you actually liked about the thousands of words i ALREADY WROTE, i am looking for a crumb of validation here!!!

i understand that there are loads of fic writers who genuinely write more or less of a story based on the demand, because their writing flow IS that they like writing a serialized piece and they can expand forever on the concept until they decide they would like to wrap it up -- but that is not me and i guess i just need to be blunter in my author notes and be like ‘THERE WILL BE NO CONTINUATION’ like if that’s the only kind of comment you know how to leave, just say ‘looking forward to reading the next thing you write!!’ and we’re chill!!

anyway i’m never ever posting a story in more than one chapter ever again, it’s oneshots only for me babe, the commenters know how to ACT in those comment sections

#there's a read more because i KNOOOOOOW im being a bitch lol #only click that if ur also a salty perfectionist who gets insulted too easily #sometimes i just want to be an ASSHOOLLLEEEE and that's what a personal blog is for lol #ace babbles #also to be clear.....if someone leaves a detailed comment on a fic and then also adds 'if you wrote anything else in this verse i would #absolutely read it in a second!' #that person is 100 per cent valid and that's a lovely comment #i'm mostly talking about people who say nothing about the fic and then go 'you need to write more chapters pleeeeaasse' #like do you have any FUCKING manners you're not 8 years old you can give a bitch a compliment before you ask her a favour first at least #like it's not gonna work im not going to write more of a story that is already done but i will see the request as a compliment #instead of a rude comment #if it is at least swaddled in a demonstration of genuine appreciation for the fic that shows you actually read the words #it just.....i know im being irrational #but it just feels like i sculpted something out of a piece of wood and then someone looked at it and went 'hmmmm...can you make it taller' #like????? no i fucking can't i'm out of wood??? do you not know how sculpting works??? #and they're like 'oh i saw that dude's clay sculpture and he keeps making it taller' #and im like 'THEY'RE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCULPTURES MY GUY' #sorry yall it's just i miss the 5sos fandom yall left great comments from my recollection #and i recently posted a two chapter thing in a newer fandom and im swamped with the most disappointing three word comments #just demanding more #blah
