Fanfiction Goals

Considering it's the a new year and people tend to make New Year Resolutions, what are your fanfic new year... uh...

In shorter, uncomplicated terms, what are your fanfic goals for this year?

Mine would be to update at least once a month and to become an active reviewer again.

Haha yeah, that's happening. :p

Let's see... For the new year, well, I definitely need to catch up on reviews. I should try harder to extend a friendly hand to newer authors and do what I can to help other members in need. ^_^ Writing-wise, I need to put a new focus on fixing errors and listening to reviewers comments.

But pretty much, the only goal I really have is to enjoy the year at SPPF. Because, frankly, if this isn't fun, why do I do it? XD

Boip!
My mission, which I choose to accept, is to get to work on my new idea Pain to Paradise, and keep revising Dust to Deceit. I also hope to stop being so egocentric and have a better self esteem about my writing, while at the same time, stop fretting about other authors being more popular than me. Above all else though, I hope to continue writing and hopefully be more entertaining. Without happy readers, there is no will, nor a reason to write and bring happiness, laughter and amazement to every reader there is. Should I fail, all knowledge of my existance and my mission will probably fade from existence.

I'd say I have my work cut out for me, if I actually decide to follow through with these ideas.

Well, I've already fulfilled one of my "resolutions" by registering at these forums. =p

Now, my biggest one is to start writing one of the nine stories I have floating around in my head. >..>;;

Nice topic, Breezy. Hmm...fanfiction goals/resolutions.

My first and most important goal, to me, is to finish The Galabonian Trilogy. As of this stage, I'm currently finishing up the first part of the trilogy, called Rhapsody, which means that I'll have 1/3 of the trilogy completed. It means so much because this'll be the first story I've ever completed here at Serebii, and nevertheless, the whole fanfiction collection I've attempted to write. I've never finished a story, but I get the feeling that this will be different for me. And I will strive until my head bleeds and cracks open with kitty-cats. *mexoplodes*

My second goal is to review more. ^^;; As of right now, I review selected work (Act's Reflect, any work by Scrap, Sike's Communication, work by IceKing, and Renegade's Illusionist Hearts). I want to get more of a feel of different writing styles to not only respond on how I feel, but to mold myself into a better writer overall. By reading many different works, I get different types of reading styles and different essences which can help me get different pictures and stuff of the same thing.

My third goal is to help newbie fantasy/action/adventure authors, and maybe trainer. I do really good in those areas, and I want to spread my knowledge onto the inexperienced ones to help them climb the staircase to fanfiction success and happiness.

My fourth goal/resolution is to write a short-chaptered legendary fanfiction. --; I know, how lame, but when you guys see it later in the year, you'll see exactly why is it very important to me.

My goal would be to actually write one. The first two I posted here never got passed there second chapter and the last one I never wrote more than two pages for. MUST. LEARN. TO. WRITE.

Get into some more fics

Stop staring at a blank Word Page and actually write something

Get passed Chaptert 2 in a fic.

All of them very hard to pull of.

I can hardly even write a coherent one-shot.

Braaiiiiiinss......
I'll hopefully finish off my fanfic Fullmetal Alchemist: Other Worlds by next year.

While doing that, me and a couple of buds are going to make a fanfic sequel to the still-alive comic Wolfhunters.

After finishing Other Worlds, I can get to another of the fics of my dreams.
The title? Maybe Hybrid of the Kingdom.

Well, I'd want to finish The Quest for the Legends.

Of course I'm not going to, but I want to.

At the very least my goal is to write quite a bit of it, and just now I'm about to venture into unexplored lands - I have 29 chapters up, and chapter 30 is the equivalent of the old chapter 36 which was the last chapter I wrote of the UMR. Yup, after chapter 30, the ILCOE will officially no longer be a rewrite. That accounts for some celebration. =D

But either way, I'm hoping to get well on with it. I wrote twelve chapters of it last year - could be better, but I'm looking on the bright side for 2006 and hoping I'll manage to write something closer to the seventeen chapters I wrote in 2004.

Now you see me...
Well, the most important thing, is that I'd like to become a better writer this year. ^^ I still have a lot to learn, and when your exposed to a ton of great writers you kinda learn very fast you're not quite as good as you want to be.

I'd also like to finish Requiem of a Dream, or at least post half of it by (at least) the end of the year.

I'd really like to finish posting my revision of The Ninetales' Curse here, of course (next chapter up by the end of the week or I will tape myself to the computer keyboard on Sunday, I swear!).

My biggest goal, though is not for these forums--I intend to finish Clouded Sky, which is currently in its thirty-third chapter out of about fifty. Probably more, now that I've screwed with the plot so much. I would like to finish it by the end of the year, in order that I might start upon and finish its two companion 'fics, The Star Chaser and Eternity's Requiem before I go to college.

I'd also like to review more for people whose 'fics I like. Right now, I closet read a lot because I don't have much time and the first priority is always requested reviews. However, I hope that I'll be able to review more of the 'fics that I've been meaning to as the year progresses.

Of course, I'd also like to improve as both writer and reviewer, but given the way I wrote at this time last year, I think that if trends continue, I'll have no problem with that one.

Hmm. I definetley have some fanfiction goals, of course. These are in no specific order.

++++

First off, I want to finish Love and Loyalty. Right now I'm struggling with a major case of writer's block for that story, and it's been bothering me ever since I finished Chapter VI. Which was a while ago. If I finish it, I'll be quite happy with myself, since it'll be the first chaptered story I've finished that's been recorded on paper since I was...*checks something or other* About five. Yup, I've been writing for years.

I know where I'm going with the story, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm going to do to get there. Urg, it's just sooo frustrating. Even worse, I'm suddenly having a huge river of ideas poring into my head, but none of them are for LaL. I really hate it when that happens.

++++

I also want to get as far as I can on Reality's Crossorads, and possibly post it by this summer. I have three stories I'm working on - LaL, RC and some one-shot I haven't titled yet - and I won't get to doing a whole lot on this one until I've finished LaL, or at least the next chapter of it. This will be one of my favorite stories so far, probably, since I've got so many great ideas for it and I can't wait to get to the climax. It'll be my first story where one of the main characters gets killed off before the third chapter...Hehehe. I'm evil.

++++

And then there's that one-shot I mentioned earlier. I'm eager to finish that one. I'll probably do it this month, since I've gotten over my case of writer's block on this one and all I need to do is get off my lazy buttocks and get to writing. I really haven't said a lot about it yet, but I'll give you a hint: this forum needs more Fire Emblem fanfics.

(insert manical laughter here)

++++

Perhaps, if I'm lucky, I'll get started on another fanfic which I haven't titled yet. It's not based on anything: anime, book, NOTHING. It's going to be completley origional, which is something I'm happy about. I know I'm going to have barrels of fun with writing this, but I might not start it until later this year, maybe summer or even autumn. So you'll have to wait, sorry. ;__;

++++

Soz, that's about it. Hope yew enjoyed it. ^___^
