Yeah, so... I've started reading Homestuck. And right now, the only thing I can say is an awe-consumed F word which would never live up to the amount of satisfaction that this story offers. I could offer a link to the part that'd managed to peak my interest and spilled over, but I have too much creative integrity to that. A culmination point is, indeed, awe-inspiring, but the series of events which lead to it are even more valuable.
Even if the whole thing is just a massive wibbly wobbly mess, of the timey variety, the execution is outstanding. Leaving aside the fairytale-esque theme that I tend to like so much myself. And all the major character and storyline elements which just suck you right in and fondle your creative yearnings and literary fancies...
Also, the eventual flash animations are very well set up. Like ticking time bombs of awesome that are set up from well ahead, and when they do finally set off, you're not disappointed.
It definitely is all it's cooked up to be. And the writer definitely is in the field for a while, as he mastered the art of storytelling.

Then again, the only thing Andrew Hussie had managed was to figure out exactly how much information is required to be given to the reader, and which information is to be appreciated. Nothing about a year's worth of practice can't cover.
And if it weren't for the generic tropes that he used to fill out the inevitable gaps in plot, I'd even go as far as saying his work is by any degree more... uhm... damnit, I'm not certain what I'm even bothered about.
It's just that all the meddlesome psychics and agents of omniscient, omnipotent demons and such are just a bit too many for my liking. It's all a bit too hand-stitched to be ignored.
Actually no. It's not hand stitched, it's not full of plotholes that it requires the eventual covering with bandaid. Half the bloody thing is made up of bandaid. The bloke integrated bandaid into the main materials section.
It's true that as the story progresses and the plot thickens, plotholes are impossible to avoid. But that's no reason to give up on trying at all! I mean sure, you could just cut off the story's legs and just keep replacing them with crutches as need would arise, but it's not a pretty thing.

Turns out I was wrong. The guy went beyond the norm and went for themes such as paradoxical time travel and made them work. Which is kinda hard to figure out... How the hell did he do it...
Hah! He realized that there's no way to avoid plotholes and the such anyway, so he just stopped trying and went along with the problem. Made it into a resource he could harvest.
How should I explain... When you work with time travel, you're setting yourself for failure, usually. Hussie found a way to work around that. He made paradoxes and plotholes into something tangible to fight against! He practically had the characters fight through impossible odds, and actually earn the right to recreate the world around them, to turn back time and alter continuity. He made time travel stories his bitch!

I have a writer's block!
It's not really anything I'd freely throw in here, hoping there would be someone from my "many" followers that would go out of their way and throw a helping hand my way after they read it. But meh, I'm really against asking for help in general, leaving aside the less than serious theme that I'm unwillingly sending your way this way, but this is... mediocre in urgency. It's about my Doc Whooves serieshttp://www.fimfiction.net/story/3956/time-will-never-tell
I need to figure out a name for the late husband of one of my main characters, Ditzy Doo. This question would be more suited to be asked in one of the many forums the respective community
20 Questions for artists/writers
Yay, it's not a tag! Here are rules:
-you can choose to do this or not
-post the rules if you do
-have fun doing it!
1. When did you first like writing?
Tough question, actually. I can't remember. Why do I write again?
2. Do you feel that talent is necessary to become a great writer?
While you do need originality and a decent sense of self-criticism to make a decent story to begin with, you still need to put in a lot of effort, frustration and, most importantly, practice. It's nothing you know from the start. So, I'd say that you might need talent, but when it comes to writing, inspiration and practice are key.
3. Are you proud of you
Doctor Weird refference fyi
Behold! I have written pony fanfiction! And now, upon retrospect, I ask myself why...
Oh right, because I thought it was funny. And I apparently had some great ideas for it. Oh well, it was fun and dandy, but all the sunny and fuzzy started to get annoying.
Is it wrong to love some characters of a fanfiction, although you hate the main theme of the story itself? Whatever, I'm just gonna finish this chapter I'm almost done writing and start doing something else... I've already promised to make a Rogue Elements thing for some time now, not to mention I have to clean the dust off of Special Few.
Oh, and sorry if I wasn't as active as I usuall
Questionable motives
Firstly, there's just something I need to ask (and hopefully, there's someone that's gonna answer @_@). En fin.
For some time now, I've been doing this crossover fanfic thing. It seems that for some reason I'm really intrigued by Doctor Who and the My Little Pony universe. That's okay, if only I didn't seem to have trouble convincing myself to do anything else. But that's not the issue either. The question I had would be: what does anyone else think about this story I made up? I mean what's your personal opinion of it: is it weird, neat or just plain nerdy and I need to get a life.
It's just that I was pretty inspired about this thing when
