The Guild of Fanfic Writers

Danny · #1 04-21-2001, 11:44 AM

everyone who's ever written a fanfic has experienced the "Oh My God What is the Point Is Anyone Actually Reading This?" Syndrome. i know i have, and i know Teal has.

anyone who joins this Guild promises to read the fanfics of every other member, AND TO REPLY! so, if Teal joined, for example, i would have to read and reply to her fics, and she would have to read and reply to mine. then if Mainard joined, we would have to read and reply to her and she would have to read and reply to ours.

all-in-all, this will lead to less frustration for writers all round!

...innnnnnteresting proposition...
Personally, I only get near a computer about once every three days, since my friend has mine and I can never get on it... but I personally, will do my best to join and offer legitimate opinions.

btw... Rettick? I must admit I love your fic, it's one of the few reasons I actually get online. I have to take time out of work. you and Grid. good work fellers. truely well done. I only wish I had enough time to get my fic up to the length of either of yours. So... a glukkons thumbs up to both of you, which will most likely make me fall over. good job guys

so are you in? it wouldn't be any trouble, as you say you already read mine.

Sl'askia · #4 04-21-2001, 06:38 PM

im in. I also worry when no one replies to my fics for awhile. (ie No one has replied bout my OT fic 'Love and War' in a while

(yes this is a hint

)). I start to get paranoid and start think that something in the fic turned off all the readers...

Danny · #5 04-21-2001, 06:43 PM

could you post the order of your fics, so i can start at the beginning, please?

sorry, the guild only covers oddworld fics, although you can ask people nicely...

Danny · #6 04-21-2001, 06:45 PM

btw, thank you for the compliments, Mainard, but don't worry! your fic maynot have quantity yet, but it sure has quality, which kicks the crap out of quantity any day. no-one can be bothered to read quantity any more...

1. Moon Child
2. White Goddess
3. Mark of a Killer
4. The Sin of One..(prequal, but best you read at least 'Moon Child' first)
5. Chronicals (always in progress, best you don't read until after you have read the others first.)

Upcoming fics
Family Ties (working title)

BTW the first 3 are on the old forums, but I have them saved in Wordpad docs. If you like I can email to you.

thank you. my address is 'notamullet@hallucinogenic.co.uk'

it really isn't as hard to spell as it sounds...

Grid · #9 04-21-2001, 08:11 PM

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm in. I'll do my darndest to reply to ALL Oddworld fics and make a big attempt to read em all. Except the crap ones. Not that there's any crap ones around!!

Danny · #10 04-21-2001, 08:12 PM

i couldn't open them, i can never get .netzip files to work.

i'll get them from the old forums. actually, are they on Oddworld-Web?

Danny · #11 04-21-2001, 08:13 PM

you don't need to, Grid. everyone repliees to you anyway!

i'm glad you join, though. that's at least 3 readers i now have!

Sl'askia · #12 04-21-2001, 08:47 PM

not yet, they will be soon. Moon Child and half of White Goddess is up on Oddworldian.

Lantra · #13 04-21-2001, 09:25 PM

im in

Danny · #14 04-27-2001, 10:00 PM

WHERE ARE MY MEMBERS? only Teal seems to have been on recently. i know i was away for a week, but i expected everyone else to be here.

Danny · #15 05-29-2001, 06:28 PM

this doesn't seem to have worked, does it...

Teal · #16 05-30-2001, 11:43 AM

I've been tryyyying to reply to everyone, but lately I've been fretting about exams, and forget. It's a good idea in principle, at least, just... I dunno, maybe people are just lazy...
