Preferences for New Fan Fiction II
@Airborne Elite 5 @BiggaBullfrog @kevindola @Scaperedude @TREX @twilkerson @William099
Hi all. I'm mentioning everyone that voted on my last preferences thread, because I've completed my most recent fan fiction (still editing it), and am gearing up for the next one. As of right now, I don't know what that next fiction will be about, so I wanted to open it up to you guys to give me ideas on what you would like to see (or what you wouldn't like to see, if that's the case). If you have an idea of what would (or wouldn't) make an awesome fan fiction, let me know, and I'll take it into consideration. I'm just fishing for ideas here, so I could still come up with my own, or combine a few. I might bounce some off of you as well. Some details (VERY IMPORTANT):

Re: Preferences for New Fan Fiction II
I think it would be super cool if you wrote up a story that included heroes from scape, going on a journey through different lands in Valhalla that you could remake into a campaign and actually play it along with the story you wrote. Example, "The adventurers go through a cavern and encounter a couple of trolls and a contingent of goblins". If you make a cool story, then I'm sure you could get help with some of the guys on here to make a scenario that follows along with your story. It would be pretty fun. Along with it being a good read, you could play a scenario along with it. Subplots could be side objectives that may help your heroes beat their enemies easier.

As a point of interest, I might finish up Code 4114. Normally I wouldn't, but the development was all done and I was part way into the writing, and actually liking the way it was turning out. It is a possibility.

Why didn't ya mention me, you fascist!?
I think for your last fanfic you should finally write that Ne-Gok-Sa Gardening story. The epic we've all been waiting for.

From my admittedly limited experience the best way to do subplots are usually to have them tie into or contribute to the main plot somehow by the end of the story, or at least have some kind of payoff. Subplots that go nowhere are boring. So that would require quite a bit of planning ahead. The plot can't just be a straight line: it's gotta be like a spider's web. Whatever you write, I say have a large cast of characters with differing objectives, motives, character arcs, and/or backstories. And then have some common thread linking them so they have something to connect or fight over. ~TAF, TAF was the Storyteller... in THE ENEMY'S LAST RETREAT |

I think I could make ample opportunity for several scenarios. What doesn't work is when you get too bogged down with actually relating the combat rather than the characters in the combat. There's a difference. You also want to make sure there isn't combat for combat's sake. It all has to either advance the plot, explore the characters, or increase conflict. And never, never, kill someone off just because they are in the way and have out-lived their usefulness. Everything needs meaning. ~TGRF. |

Re: Preferences for New Fan Fiction II
Yes, that's a good word for it: meaning. Sometimes a good story is a machine with a lot of moving parts. But I think you could pull it off.

Re: Preferences for New Fan Fiction II
My gut reaction for a theme of subplots (I mean, it's kind of a theme, right?) is Agent Carr. It would be cool to do a story about the humans from his timeline, maybe starting on Earth and continuing through to Valhalla (especially because it was confirmed that Isamu was about to kill Carr when he was summoned, right?). You could probably throw in other humans too. There are just so many humans in Heroscape it would be cool to see the war through all their eyes. But the one that screams subplot to me the most is agents and ninjas from the future.

Re: Preferences for New Fan Fiction II
Hmmmmm.... What about a story with the actual generals as main characters, or almost narrators, but then the bulk of the story is the sub plots of lesser characters who each are different, but are intertwined through the over arching plot of the generals/main characters? I know the idea probably won't work, but just tossing words out there....
Also I'm a big fan of Bigga's idea! H E R O S C A P E |
