Can't wait to see what you got, Sereg!
Speaking of presenting our works, I may have found an artist willing help me turn my novel series into a webcomic for free.
My Twitch.@No Limit: That's really cool! Link us when it's ready!
Also, I should warn you guys that chapter 1 is mostly going to be fighting and exposition. I don't think that too much characterisation is going to seep through before later chapters, but we'll see how things go.
Oh, my god. I REALLY shouldn't give away the design, but my artist just drew a rough draft of one of my main characters and I absolutely love how she came out.

My Twitch.@SCM: It's an Action Prologue (I like those), but it's not a Batman Cold Open as it starts with the team fighting The Dragon, escaping, then him catching up to them with The Brute.
I'd offer to do better, but…
Bah, I'm very happy with it.
Artist deleted rough sketch version. Here's outlined version.

My Twitch.A bit angular, but good coloring can make up for that in a web comic.

He can definitelly handle color, as my artist...I should stop calling him that. He's actually a really old friend.
As I was saying, he can definitely handle coloring as he also does colors for another friend's webcomic.
My Twitch.All right. This should be no problem for you then. Send me a link when it's up.
@No Limit: Cute.
Also, I have now realizes that if my sory becomes popular,it's going to inspire incredibly weird Rule34. Oh well.I'd be flattered by the attention even if I find it odd.
… that's the 'theres's porn of it' rule, right?
Yup.
Heh, now I'm considering actually using some of the terminology in-universe, just to tease Genre Savvy Chisame.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.Heh, interesting discussions over Nanoha, Fate, and whatnot. It almost makes me want to bring up the whole /y/ vs. /u/ stuff of Nano Fate vs. Negi Fate.
Pokemon fever has just begun for me. I beat the second gym leader, and I continue to use nothing but Dark types (Zorua, Murkrow and Sneasel).
You know you want to add more tropes to THIS.Question for anyone a little smarter than I am about ffnet.
Space and Time, Negima Style has 49 visitors and 76 views according to the Story Stats.
No reviews though. UNLESS I go into Legacy Story Stats, and click on the views there, in which case there are two reviews, one for each chapter. Why then do they not show up in the main reviews? It is because the two people that reviewed are not members of ffnet or what?
Madman with a box? I'm a madman with a semi, a pretzel bender and a Heart of Gold!No, that's not it, they show up in mine... Have you tried reading them?
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariThat's happened to me. It might be lag.
The rule of thumb when dealing with FF.net is that, if it can be lag, then it most likely is lag.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariVery wicked lag then. First review is from Guest and is dated 10-2. Second is dated 10-3.
Madman with a box? I'm a madman with a semi, a pretzel bender and a Heart of Gold!Hah, you think that's bad? You should've seen Jesus. Poor guy took three days to respawn! *is shot*
That's odd. Guest reviews show up just fine for me. Also, just got White 2. I beat Black originally, so I guess I hafta play White now. Wouldn't want to be called racist. And of course, I just named my Snivy Orochimaru. I had to.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariSpace Haruna's outfit is really more about Impossibly Cool Clothes (or Impractically Fancy Outfit) than it is Stripperiffic. I salute your efforts, though.
rikalous: In some of the games, at least, there's another opponent - not sure if it falls under True Final Boss or Bonus Boss. Possibly a bit of both. The best example would be fighting Red at the end of Gold/Silver/Crystal.
NL: Nice artwork that your friend did. Give him/her my compliments.
And now that original idea has something of a plot beyond just the Final Boss.
No, no, the only game in which the Champion is not the final boss is Black and White, where Ghetsys is the final boss (because N is the champion and N is just a pawn of Ghetsys'). Everywhere else, beating the champion is the final goal of the game. Even when, logically, the final boss in Red & Blue would have to be Giovanni (Strongest Gym Leader + Leader of a Criminal Organization), it's still Blue.
Red is a Bonus Boss. Nothing more.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariGot some new 3-A's Harems up. Again, it's been crossposted.
Her plans had been time-consuming, nerve-wracking, and a bit expensive, but they were about to be so worth it.
Late evening hung over Mahora like a warm cloak, subduing it yet not stifling it with its presence. Along the banks of the river that drained into Library Lake, streetlights cast a wistful glow over red brick walkways, and the smell of spice hung tantalizingly in the air. This was an hour of whispers and murmurs, of hands in hands and arms in arms, of balm and honey. A perfect scene...but not yet. There was still someone missing from the picture.
Kazumi sat alone, waiting, at a covered restaurant table beside a balcony railing. Chin in palm, she took a slow, savoring look at the skyline to her right, and was pleased to note that her view was clean and un-obstructed - a big point in the establishment’s favor. More than a year ago, the young reporter had begun writing a web column devoted to great places with great food, and as it became increasingly popular, she found herself striving to do it justice. As such, her critical mind took note of everything it could, from the soothingly green awning over her head to the quality of the serving staff uniforms.
So far, she had a feeling her readers would love seeing a review of this place, though unfortunately, she didn’t intend to give it to them. As things were, she didn’t expect to stay properly focused throughout her dinner. Yes, there were just too many possible distractions - far too many. Not that anyone could blame her for them, of course.
For a moment, Kazumi let the feeling of a breeze across her exposed back sweep her imagination away, and lost herself in a fantasy of a shared plate of pasta, ending with a kiss...and more to come.
A pair of heeled footsteps nearby tore her from her reverie. Kazumi turned in her chair, searching for the source of the noise, and froze. She was suddenly very glad she’d been biting her lip; if not, she bet her jaw would be on the floor.
Izumi Ako was a very pretty girl, no secrets there. In a white sun dress and wide-brimmed sun hat, however, she was nothing short of radiant. There was a bashful smile blooming on her face, and she’d clasped her hands together at her hips. Yet above all that...
Ako giggled. “You’re making funny faces again, Kazumi-chan.”
Kazumi worked her mouth for a moment, and finally stammered out a token greeting. She’d entertained thoughts of teasing her date for lateness, but could no longer find the will to do so. How could she, when the likely reason for it was flowing down to the girl’s backside?
“...I like your hair,” said Kazumi, feeling tinier and a little awkward. “It’s beautiful.”
And she really meant it. Ako’s hair had a wonderful pale hue, and at its current length, this was even more obvious. Kazumi found herself doling out mental slaps for not sneaking a closer look during that time at the Ostian baths.
“Um, thank you,” said Ako. “Chamo-kun helped me with it...”
Briefly, Kazumi wondered what it would cost to cast her rodent friend’s heroic image in bronze. Wow, she thought. Godspeed, you magnificent little mutant. I owe you one.
Ako sat down, and their eyes locked for an instant; Kazumi broke away first, chuckling. “So...hey.”
“Hi.”
“Nice place, right?”
“Yes. I still don’t know how you managed to get reservations here...”
Kazumi smiled. “I have my ways, Ako-chan.”
“Mm. You’re very capable.”
“Always.”
By the time their drinks were served, Kazumi’s uncharacteristic shyness had vanished altogether, and she was back to drawing puppy eyes and blushes from her date as she usually did. They spoke of magic, and two worlds, and jobs, and family, and a very special young man, and other, smaller things, and they barely remembered ordering their food.
Halfway through a bite of spaghetti bolognese, Kazumi thought she felt the tablecloth caressing her leg, but it wasn’t the tablecloth. She looked to Ako, who was trying and failing to seem innocent, and she had to stifle a grin herself.
Tonight was going to be an interesting night indeed.
The last chords die away, the cheers ring out, and the confetti falls, but Madoka only focuses on a person - the redhead in the crowd with two thumbs way up, her notebook momentarily forgotten.
- 2x swag combo -
@Sereg: I hope my story is popular enough that it inspires incredibly weird Rule34 stuff. That means I've hit it big!

My Twitch.
For those who want to try out Nanoha, I suggest starting with the movie rather than the first season. IMO, it's actually better even though it reduces my favourite season 1 character's importance a bit (sorry Yuuno). But yeah, it's a lot of fun.
The ideas that you guys are coming up with are interesting. Also, my sister has coerced me into doing a dramatic reading of the first chapter of my Magical Girl story for her talent show in two weeks. So, I'm now going to work harder on that and have finally picked the names. I'll send what I have ovrer to Ala Iridia in a few days.
