Recommended Type-Moon Fanfics Discussion II: Electric Boogaloo

[NewAgeOfPower]

I'd like to give a plus 1 (+1) to Fate EMIYA, by darkeldar (the famous 'Gilgamesh Tries His Hand At' author)

Title: Fate EMIYA

Author: darkeldar

Official Blurb: This is a story of a man, who more than anything else, believed in his ideal, and was betrayed by it, driving him to despair.

Recommendation: From the admittedly uninspired & overused title style, you might assume this work is just another piece of FFnet flotsam- but don't be fooled. Despite the premise being yet another Alternate HGW, the story is told from the perspective of Shirou's life after the AU HGW.

Not only is the author's blurb almost as badass as Fate Alter-Time's blurb was (before it's author, Leo Novum wimped out and nuked his work), darkeldar's story writing itself flows really well when he's working on a serious work, and I can feel a very high degree of immersion. Potentially one of the better Nasuverse FF authors still writing today.

Although I haven't seen any novel concepts or ideals that would make Fate EMIYA even more distinctive, the fit, polish, and excellent execution it already has easily places it in the top 5% of Fate/Stay Fanfiction.

If I had to recommend a all-around good multichapter fic still in progress (without knowing too much about the reader's history/taste/preferences & biases), it would be hard to decide between this and Chaos Theory. Probably this, because darkeldar updates a little faster than Moczo. But not that much faster : (

Also, first time I've seen that pairing in a serious multi-chapter work- and it's done rather believably.

Pairing(s): Go read the work, mongrel.

Seriously, go read it.

Its totally another Gilgamesh/Saber fic that Artee & her army of sockpuppets writes.

Okay, its not, at least not yet (I'd probably drop darkeldar permanently if he did that), but you, mongrel reader, definitely deserved that- go read it. It's Shirou x Ayako done in a interesting manner.

Link: See title.

Notes: darkeldar is known as Augustine on BL. Say hi, guys!

[Bloble]

Bloble, don't do this. Don't do this, man.

Okay fine, it is bad, but it's the entertaining kind of bad.

[Kyte]

>Implying it hasn't always been about that
/mlp/ exists for a very very specific reason and that is to keep your shit out of my shit. Because your shit is by far more autistic. Seriously. Go look at /mlp/ Renko. Then look at say, /tg/ or /o/ or /co/ or /po/ or /pol/. We don't want your gay ass ponyfaggotry in our gay ass [insertboardrelatedtopichere]faggotry.

Anyway, I'll drop it now for Kyte's sake.

Jesus christ it's people like you that make people feel ashamed of being associated with 4chan.
Learn to talk and act like a fucking normal human being.

You know, even BL acts like 4chan sometimes.

This thread is actually relatively lucky.

I dunno, if Twitter and Facebook are any indication, talking like a normal human being is like having diarrhea of the mouth.

I do, and I'm usually far more eloquent. Except when dealing with bronies. Fuck bronies.

Bro.

Bro.

The fic was good.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Bro.

Bro.

The fic was good.

One diamond in a pile of shit does not retroactively make the pile of shit a pile of diamonds. Not even the Old Spice guy on a Horse can accomplish such a feat of awesome.

I haven't read Fate/Twilight and I probably never will (The title alone inspires an idea of sparkling dead apostles) but if it's good it doesn't make the brony community good. They're still a cesspit that even a saint would wipe his hands clean of.

[Kyte]

What did I say.

Shut Up

I don't care for your ranting about bronies. I'm fairly sure nobody else does either.
Your rants about bronies about just as cancerous as you perceive bronies to be.
Stop being the motherfucking cancer and fucking suck it up.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Aye aye Captain.

[Hymn of Ragnarok]

Enough with the bile Arch. I do not care about the subject in question but you are going far over the line and you keep coming back for more. With language and sentiment.

I was frankly going to let this lie because it seemed like you were backing off when told. Since you're not letting this lie, neither will I. This is not the place to indulge in whatever you feel about 4chan or MLP, and if you do want to discuss it you can do so in an appropriate venue and with cleaner language.

This doesn't show up here again. Understood?

Update thread OP next week? Somewhat more important than broble, techpriest, and ponies.

[Renko]

O-okay......

*sighs* It seems that most of the good fanfictions and snippets can only be found here right? Fanfiction.net is strewn by many crap all over the place. Dunno about Space Battles....

[TheInfamousMan]

Spacebattles is the same as Fanfiction. A lot of crap with a few hidden gems.

[Renko]

Spacebattles is the same as Fanfiction. A lot of crap with a few hidden gems.

So it's the same thing then... >3>

[Kyte]

It's the same everywhere.

[Siriel]

Spacebattles is the same as Fanfiction. A lot of crap with a few hidden gems.

Honestly the issue with Spacebattles' fanfiction corner, from what I've seen, is that the people posting there appear to have a tendency to try to dictate how the fanfic should go.

Not pointing out flaws in the writer's method. Just flat-out "You should rewrite X because we feel it just doesn't work (while not knowing where the story is going)." or "Y should happen. Write Y happening.".

[nitewind]

That depends honestly. Mind you it CAN get that bad but its nowhere near that level all the time/everywhere.

[Siriel]

Like I said, it's just my impression from the like...eight threads I've read or so.

Not to mention that their definition of 'pointing out flaws' is 'What the hell? A story development happened and we don't like it! This now sucks! De-rec! Author can't write!'.
