Hey, World-Jumper! A request! by Iximaz on 2014-03-09 02:15:00 UTC Reply

I found a fic that is bad- I mean, it is bad. It involves not one, not two, but three alicorn OCs: one is the lost princess of another kingdom who is adopted by Celestia, one is the daughter of Luna, and one is the prince of another kingdom, one that lies beyond the land of the griffons. Obviously, they're all Sues and Stus, but the writing is absolutely horrendous and the two princesses become so OOC I'm fairly sure they're replacements after a while.

Obviously, such a fic would require more attention than normal- and that's where Marvin and Printworthy come in. What do you say to them teaming up with Rina and Randa to take this one down?

Here's the link if you want to see it: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/9926560/1/

Hmmm... by World-Jumper on 2014-03-09 05:46:00 UTC Reply

I want to say yes. I really, really want to say yes. However, I am in a period of time whe I have absolutely no time. I'm stealing a few minute to write this that I probably should not be. To do a proper coaberation would quite simply require more out of me then I can give at the moment.

That said... That fic is awful, and I do want to colaberate with you. You bring a more TOS feel to your missions, while I'm more wordy and want to explore the consequenses and actions of badfic. Our writing could couple in an interesting way. Hmmm... What to do...

Alright. I probably shouldn't, but alright. I'll do it. HOWEVER, there are some conditions that must be met.

1. You have to do most of the writing. I do not have the time to write a mission right now, even with help. I will beta read and make sure Marvin and Printworthy are in character, and do some expantion on your points, but you have to do most of the work. I wish it could be more collaborative, but with my situation right now, I just can't.

2. Be prepaired for a long wait. I will try to respond to your messages and writings as soon as I can, but that may well be several days apart. I will try to be as thurough as I can, but it may take time to properly formulate my thoughts. Be patient. I'm sure you are already, but I want to be sure you fully understand my constraints.

I was going to have a third, but I can't think of one. I just want to be sure we are clear on this. Again, feel free to use Marvin and Printworthy, and I am willing to help, but due to time, that may be limited.

That said, I'm excited. Hopefully I can clear my schedual reletavely soon so I can get to work on my own missions, including futher collaborations. This will be interesting.

That really blows, having a schedule that full, though. Suddenly I feel kind of guilty for complaining about my 'having no free time' when I really have enough to deep around on the Board over the weekend. :/

Doing the writing is no problem for me, though! *glances back through the badfic* Oof... this is really gonna hurt.

Anyway, email's artemis.hunt@att.net. I'll get started on the mission tonight; I would start earlier, but a friend is coming over so we can work on her cosplay for con this month.

Ooh, this is going to be fun! Just out of curiosity, what's taking up so much of your time? School? Job? Well, either way, hopefully it'll work out for you.

Yea, it does. I've dug myself into a bit of a hole at school, and with On the Job Training in the morning and a tour guide training course in the evning, I have very little time in which to dig myself out. I need this spring break to do that catch-up, and after that, I need to focus on school. It's not the best of positions to be in.

Oh, good. I wish I could do more in the initial writing, but I just can't. Still, hopefully my involvent in post will be enough.

Take your time, don't worry about it. I took just under a year for my first mission, any quicker then that is soon enough for me.

Oh cool, a con! Which one, and who are you dressing as?

Right, e-mail would be a good idea. It's tds3ak with either gmail or yahoo.

Wizard World Con in Louisville- one of my friends and I are going to get to meet Matt Smith *SQUEEE* and another one of mine is actually over right now. We're working on her Korra cosplay.

Me? Harry Potter, of course! Well, at least on Saturday. Sunday, I'll be Fluttershy. *yay*

You're already on spring break?! Lucky! Yeah, I know it's not all fun and games, but still... Ours isn't until the last week of March.

Well, good luck with school and work, and I will email you once I have a rough draft down. ;D
Good luck! by DawnFire on 2014-03-09 16:48:00 UTC Reply

Also, my sympathies. My schedule's currently full enough that I recently woke up from a dream where I was having an argument about free time. It wasn't so fun.

Looking forward to the (eventual) mission!

Sound good to me!

...and you would be...? by DawnFire on 2014-03-09 03:39:00 UTC Reply

Just confused here. Are you World-Jumper, or Randa, or someone else entirely? Whichever way...cool name! (Which for some reason seems familiar...)

~DF

I was wondering that, too. by Outhra on 2014-03-09 04:20:00 UTC Reply

EmmaLeUnicorn probably isn't Randa, since she predates RinaAndRanda's introduction, and probably isn't World-Jumper, since he already has a screen name. She might just be a fan of World-Jumper and/or Iximaz who likes the idea of the two(Maybe three. Does Randa cowrite for her namesake?) working together. That seems the most likely option.

... is a lurking Boarder who joined in September and has posted in about two threads since. Which is absolutely fine, as far as I'm concerned.
