@YourLittleSylveon
I still have the old versions of Rainbow Stardust saved in Wattpad's editing history. So far, do you guys like what I've done with the new Rainbow Stardust, or would you prefer I went back to the old one? Personally, I'm starting to think the old one might've been better. Please let me know your thoughts.
I've heard someone tell me I should upload my Rainbow Stardust fic to AO3 because Sylvia's apparently well-thought out and makes a good protagonist. I disagree because I feel like Sylvia's just my trashy self-insert OC that sorta leeches the spotlight from the other characters and shoves herself into an already-complete story (but I can't help wanting her there anyway, like it's a guilty pleasure of mine).
I know I've rewritten this story like three times now, but I would like to get some opinions on this. Is Rainbow Stardust AO3-worthy? I feel like it isn't, but my friend and older sibling seem to disagree with me on that. Do you guys like Sylvia at all?
I just updated the first chapter of my new Rainbow Stardust fic. I'm sorry I keep coming back and erasing and redoing things but I'm hoping this will be the last time I have to do this. I'm still trying to sorta get a feel for the whole thing.
The first chapter now has more story in it, so I recommend you reread the whole thing. I may revise it again because writing Yusei is actually kinda hard and I wanna make sure I do the dramatic irony right. Please bear with me!
@YourLittleSylveon I think I have a cool concept for synchro monsters for the weather archetype, level 6 weather dragons.
@pey_BOSS Weather dragons? It does sound interesting, and I appreciate the thought, but I actually sort of have an idea of what I want the weather painters to look like. Mostly because I like how they look already, and I don't want to take away from the rainbow fairies and their lore. However, I'm still interested in your idea-- I just want to let you know I probably won't be using it. On the other hand, I do like the idea of the weather painters having a pet each, however I've thought of them more as Level 1-3 fuzzy milffy-esque beast-type, winged-beast, or whatever other animal-type monsters. Like a sparrow for Wind, a literal sun dog for Sun... but I also worry that'll take attention away from the weather painters and their aesthetic as painters. So now when it comes to cards, besides the obligatory Signer dragon and red weather painter (and the fusion card and her canvas card), I tend to stick to support spells/traps, like what the crystal beasts have.
hey y'all i'm back from my trip! if you are interested in my fics, please let me know if you prefer my old Rainbow Stardust fic or my new one. I personally think the new one may be a bit more fleshed out, but I also did work on a couple of the chapters while on the road, so I don't know if that makes them better or worse.
@YourLittleSylveon I mean I don’t blame you for 5DS being your favorite it seems it’s a lot of peoples favorite. You are right with the fusion being limitless because you can make a huge amount of monsters because of different weather conditions that are a combination of two different weather conditions. Again, I don’t blame you for putting your own cards into the story, sometimes you just need to do it. I do like the current story for the GX Weather Painter story but you can do whatever you want with it because in the end it’s your story not anyone else’s (well except YuGiOh’s story itself). And again, understandable, it’s your most recent story so I wouldn’t expect you to suddenly go to the GX story.
you know what? that's a good question. i usually update things on a whim. currently i'm working on 5d's, mostly because i'm biased and it's my fave series out of every one, but i do also wanna go into the gx one sometime soon because the fusion potential is LIMITLESS. I just wanna go ahead and warn you that there will be quite a bit of anime bullshit and fake cards, partially to help the deck blend better with the world and partially just for self-indulgence purposes.
And thank you for the feedback! I like the new one better too, but I was feeling nervous because I hadn't gotten any responses. I'll bring Hope back sometime, but it may come in the form of yet another rewrite (though this time I may change the chapters instead of making an entirely new book, because doing that may be getting old... or you could let me know which you would prefer, too.)
For now though: 5d's is my main focus.
@YourLittleSylveon I actually like the new one better, but that is my opinion. I was also wondering when are you going to update the YuGiOh GX Weather Painter one, just wondering.
Can I ask you guys, which one do you think you prefer so far? My old Rainbow Stardust fic or my new one?
I apologize for the short notice, but this was sudden for me too. My dad just asked me to go on a trip with him to help our grandma move her things since our grandpa died recently and it's impossible to take care of her from across the country anymore. I'll still try to upload, but it will most likely be slowed considerably because I cannot emulate duels anymore (I won't have my computer with me) so this is the best I can do. I deeply apologize for this inconvenience.
I'm still struggling with writing, but at this point, what happens happens. I thought my old Rainbow Stardust fic was a little bit forced, so I'm trying again, but for anyone who liked it, I kept the old fic up. Who knows? What if I mess up the current one and the previous one is better?
@nissa003 I'm sorry. If you don't like it, the only thing I can suggest is not reading it. I'm trying to stay true to the characters. The English dub did 5D's dirty, in my opinion. The only good thing to come out of it are the localized/fixed/translated names. (Blitz and Nervin were swapped, for example.)
When are you going to update the ninjago book?
guys help idk what deck to have sylvia use in her upcoming duel against yusei in my book! should she use weather painters (which, honestly, i have trouble getting the results i want with it), a dark version of weather painters, or a completely different deck like psychics to try and defeat yusei? it's also worth mentioning that turbo duels are hard to write with weather painter-esc cards because of the whole continuous spell thing...
I just found the perfect counter card for Sylvia's deck so that Yusei can finally have a decent chance against it. It's a little lockdown-y, but it's perfect!
