Lantz's fanfiction round up and discussion

[lantzblades]

basically yeah.

[Cherry Lover]

basically yeah.

Now or after we've worked out other stuff?

Also, how extreme are you willing to go with it, since she could be very rough, and do some stuff that you couldn't normally do without causing permanent damage (things like burning her, for example)?

[lantzblades]

it's high fantasy so not that far. and later

[Cherry Lover]

it's high fantasy so not that far.

Ah, OK.

What do you mean by that? How far is "too far"? After all, she is supposed to be pretty nasty....

and later

Ah, OK.

What do we need to work out now, then?

[lantzblades]

what shirou's quest is, and who else he meets etcetera.

dunno, within reason.

[Cherry Lover]

what shirou's quest is, and who else he meets etcetera.

Yeah, OK, that makes sense.

dunno, within reason.

What is "within reason"?

[lantzblades]

hard to explain, i dunno, within reason just means within logical means.

[Cherry Lover]

hard to explain, i dunno, within reason just means within logical means.

Well, logically-speaking she can do basically anything. Sakura is a devil, and therefore is presumably capable of healing most damage and surviving injuries that would kill a normal person, and there are no limitations on what Caster could have access to, particularly with her magic.

The only limitations on this scene, really, are what I want to see and what you're willing to write. There are very few things Caster actually couldn't do to her from an in-story viewpoint.

[lantzblades]

ok, well you'll just have to try to pitch something then

[Cherry Lover]

ok, well you'll just have to try to pitch something then

I would much rather know the limitations beforehand. It's really quite annoying to think of an idea and then have it rejected because of some arbitrary problem you didn't bother to mention before I started working things out....

[lantzblades]

Do it in outline then and if the outline is good or bad you won't have wasted time on a huge idea

[Cherry Lover]

Do it in outline then and if the outline is good or bad you won't have wasted time on a huge idea

Well, what do you mean by an "outline"? Plus, that won't necessarily be sufficient for you to see the issues.

[lantzblades]

I think the ideas are best reformatted as one shots for now

[Cherry Lover]

I think the ideas are best reformatted as one shots for now

Hmm, I see....

Which ideas do you mean? The whole set-up was somewhat geared towards being a full story, and I dunno how to turn it usefully into a one-shot.

[lantzblades]

It's fairly easy to reformat them, but the issue of doing so is my problem so don't worry about it
