Digimon fanfic FTW!! 5 hours a day. You are basically a huge inspiration and encouragement, I'm still in the concept stages of a young adult fantasy novel. This is purely for my pleasure but who knows maybe i'll get published.
Coming from a girl who isn't a twi-hard. It isn't that Bella and Edwards love was obsessive, it's that it was so intense and deep that it could with stand certain things--such as death--and could by-pass even death. Edward and Bella weren't obsessed, they were IN a truly deep heavy love. I think your idea is set on a good base, But you shouldn' t say your trying to fix the damage Meyer has done. Because either way, the book--most likely--will not be as popular as twilight anyway.
@summerwonder101 For someone claiming to not be a Twi-Hard, you sure sound exactly like one. I've presented my argument; the burden of proof to back up your claim is on you now. I am interested in seeing your evidence.
@shmeiliarockie My evidence is purley based on realism. Love like Edward and Bella's happens everyday. And I'm not a twi-hard. I think Stephanie is a "not so good" writer, and that she could've done a much better job getting the story out. My argument though, is more a reality based. When you love someone--mostly at a young age--it's hard to let go. It's hard to walk away, you want them with you, you want them period. It's not healthy. But it happens. I still don't think twilight is bad for kids
Hi I am a big YA reader (my favourite is John Green, obviously!) - I found this video looking for aspiring writers like myself on Youtube. I'd love to hear where this is going/ how it went. If you would like to check out a reading of a bit of my superhero story I am working on on my channel, I would really appreciate it!
Oh ? That's cool . I wanna read your novel . I , too , is writing a novel . It's called 'DECEIT'. A love story between a princess from heaven and a demon. It's fantasy/romance. I hope someone would actually take their time to read it.It's on my blog so message me anyone if your interested haha
I started considering writing a story, just a bunch of small bits and pieces for fun. I'll probably take it to the next level, when/if I stick to it. I'm known to skip in between interests. I'm 14, and quite ambitious for my age, but I can pull through.
I know that this is your opinion, but here is my opinion you say that love is a bad thing but then you say that when their is a death that you need a support structure if you have a person that you love and truly care about they can be yuor support structure and whats so bad with falling complletly in love with someone and caring so much about someone that you cant stand to be away from someone?
@BobbieK1997 While I'm not taking a side here, I'd just like to point out that she said 'obsessive love'.
There is a difference. True love is being able to let go when you know that it's better for that person, whereas obsessive love is grasping at the person. Not being able to cope when they aren't there, or being too dependent on said person.
I hear you i am also writing a novel to compensate for the twilight saga. it is not a love story per se. it is about a bitter vampire woman who was shunned by her man and she is seeking revenge on him. all the while dating another man. good news is my vampires burn in sunlight and they dont sparkle. i am currently working on the rough draft and hope to have at least get it published by 2011
I think it's run picking out who'll play what character if a movie is ever made. With me it's pretty sad that I've picked out a lead actor that doesn't even seem to speak English. But I'm sure he'll be willing to learn just so he can be in my movie. LOL
You give away an element of the ending of your book here. Is that wise? Also what if Meyer's publisher sees this video and discovers that your book is a response to Meyer, who's work you have criticised sharply (justifiably IMO)? These may be barriers to getting published, and may also cause problems with the promotion of your book if a publisher chooses to specifically market it as the "anti-Twilight", thus linking your story to Meyer's mediocre work, rather than having it stand alone.
I can't wait to see how this turns out. You have really excellent criticism, so your novel should be very good. I hope I didn't miss this: is it general fiction, or will it be fantasyish?
Probably because it wasn't going to be a garunteed hit. I mean, with a romance, it was garunteed to make money. An adventuorous tale of a boy wizard? Probably more of a risk.
Best I could come up with.
But a sentence in a Harry Potter novel pwns a whole entire Twilight book.
I want to read your novel, but I wouldn't like to see the book I'm writing to be made into a movie. It'd have fairly boring parts because she experiences normal life other than her rather disfunctional one. And there are good parts that is her shooting someone.
T_T My little cousin is in love with Twilight, and I've been racking my brains as to what to give her to counteract the poison. >.> Well. What I can give her that she would read, anyhow.
(Did you get my other comment? I've left 2 so far, and for whatever reason I can't see the first one.)
Long story short: I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS BOOK, AND WOULD HAPPILY READ THE DRAFT.
However, I will admit that, from the way you worded it, it does sound a little gimmicky. To me "obsession" and "they don't stay together" are a word and a phrase that do not fly the same biplane.
Obsession is BLINDING. If you really are obsessed with someone, then you wouldn't separate from someone, no matter what. Unless there is some major, almost traumatic, event that leaves them to separate, then they'd never be apart.
It is possible to be entrenched in love with someone...loving someone so deeply that it can be recognized by most as obsession. But it is not ABSOLUTE obsession, and absolution sounds like what you're shooting for.
Yay! i hope you get published what am i talking about of coarse you will and I'll see the movie and be like thank god there is a decent series on the shelf's now I'm getting sick of re-reading everything i have (except Oscar Wiled because who could get sick of him lol)
I am also working on a novel that started as fanfic, based on the rather obscure anime "Uta Kata". After some artsy-fartsy starts (like yours) I decided to write an adventure novel. The only element from Uta Kata that is left is a slightly romantic subplot between the two lead girls, but it's not too heavy-handed. Writing is fun! I'd love to read your novel.
No way! That's like my novel! It started out as a very long Bleach fan fic which I translated into an original story...lol... Hey, it went over really well, so why waste a good thing, right?
People like you are inspiring. I enjoy writing but never knew how much hard work it was, and I like your description in the box of it being like a full time job, that gave me a sense of just how hard it is.
I LOVE writing stories! The series I'm working on currently is really similar to Harry Potter, so I'm just doing it for fun :)
I have numerous other ideas, but the one I'm thinking of doing next is a girl who's like the "arrow" for Cupid, and how she accidentally gets a guy who was meant for someone else to fall in love with her.
I'm starting a novel soon too :D It's in first person novel. Won't do into to much detail since I only have 500 characters but it's about a guy who was forced to move from his hometown to a small city. When he goes to school he sees clicks that don't exists in small towns. He makes friends with two popular people but later they become unpopular and they try to bring down the popular people. At the end one friends mother kills her and they're forced to deal with it. Not enough # to explain
ah i can relate so much! my book started off from a fullmetal alchemist fanfic and i was like hey--this can be original. so i conformed it to become original and viola! i give you the best wishes! i cant wait to read yours!
So, I definitely adore your channel. I first started watching after searching for a sane approach to Twilight. Your book sounds amazing-- very REAL in my mind. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate fantasy books, but I can't stand the 'books' that are really just a fecal pile of words strewn together (twilighttwilighttwilight).
That sounds like something I'd really enjoy. I hope you're able to get it published because if I see it on the shelves I'll be sure to buy a copy. I want to be a writer but I've realized I have a bad habit of starting something and obsessively writing it for a while. Then I get bored and write maybe a chapter every few months or discontinue it entirely. And this is just with fanfiction. So I might not have what it takes but I'll see what the future holds.
Thanks for the advice. I might try starting something this summer. I've got a few ideas that've been floating around my head for a while. Maybe one of them will turn out ok.
How will it be popular without a mary sue lead, and a presold hook? D:
You also gave everything away... But it does sound interesting. Currently I'd like to read an uplifting romance that I can take seriously, hopefull I'll have found one before your book comes out so I can have some catharsis first, then read your book with a stronger state of mind.
Yeah, but if you get famous everyone will come and get spoiled! You did leave out the details, but now everyone will know they won't get back together..
There's litmus tests, but they may not be trustworthy. You could share them with some more people, if you can find people willing to evaluate you.
Everytime I'm proud of a character, they score high on the litmus test. But I never know what to change to reduce the score. Maybe it's not that big a
deal, as long as they're interesting. Dumbledore in Harry Potter managed to keep my attention, despite having very few flaws revealed prior to his death.
I don't know how big it is, like, 2 & 1/2 notebooks full of crap. When I'm finished with the last two chapters, I get to go through the joys of rewriting and editting all 300+ pages of spew and typing it all onto my computer.
Hey, long time no see! I kept forgetting to check your videos, or really just go on Youtube for that matter. I think it's so cool you're working on a novel. Funny coincidence since the reason why I haven't been on Youtube lately was because I was busy writing a novel too. Weird, right?
Anyway your story idea sounds really cool, and I'll be one of the first people on line to buy your book whenever it gets published and released :)
I hope you finish! There were times when I wanted to give up, but my family and friends urged me to finish. Now if only I can get somebody to notice me... That's the tricky part.
Thanks. My story also started because it was a jab back at Twilight. I love vampires and wanted to do a story about them for a long time. Though mine isn't a "Dark Romance", it's a Psychological Thriller.
Oh and I know me too! I'm quite self-conscious about my stories but my sister's been a big support and won't leave me alone until I'm finished, lol ;)
Im also worried about finding a publisher...But I think everything will come through in the end; for both of us hopefully!
I'm doing something similar and today for some reason I got a lot of encouragement to write said book. It's going to be a vampire book but it won't necessarily be aimed at young adults but will also counter SMeyer. I should try Little Brown too! Laugh out loud!
I wish you luck and I'm looking forward to reading it.
Thank you! I'd *like* it to be really dark, but I'll be honest, I think it comes off as more of an angst-fest. But then again, I am my own worst critic.
Just let me know, and I'll buy your novel too. It's good to know *somebody* still respects the genre!
I usually don't take well to rejection, but I'm going to stick with it! I really want to get this thing out there, and I simply refuse to self-publish. Nothing kills your credibility faster than that.
I'll buy a copy. It really cool that you're an author. I would like to be one, but I can't even right a fanfic good enough to post anywhere. Do you have a title yet? And hopefully by 2012 I'll have forgotten that you told us they break up.
Hey, you know, fanfic is a great place to start. I wrote three (sadly unfinished) epic fanfics before I moved on to original fiction. So don't be so hard on yourself! It's good training.
I'm thinking of calling it Dandelions. It was going to be something longer, but I like the one word title better.
Digimon fanfic FTW!! 5 hours a day. You are basically a huge inspiration and encouragement, I'm still in the concept stages of a young adult fantasy novel. This is purely for my pleasure but who knows maybe i'll get published.

By the way, what is the name of it? I'd be glad to read it.

Right now it's going by the working title of Dandelions, but that may change yet.
If I sell the manuscript tomorrow, it may be as long as two years before it's published. So it will be a while before it hits the shelves.

Let me know when it comes out; I would definitely read it.

I'll probably make a video expressing my joy when that happens.

And when it leaks several chapters, I'm sure you won't whinge.

Nah. At least not anywhere in public.

I will, thanks! I hope the book doesn't disappoint.

I'm doing something similar and today for some reason I got a lot of encouragement to write said book. It's going to be a vampire book but it won't necessarily be aimed at young adults but will also counter SMeyer. I should try Little Brown too! Laugh out loud!
I wish you luck and I'm looking forward to reading it.

Thanks! In my opinion, the more stuff there is out there combating Twilight the better. It's done so much damage.

I really like your idea of the dark side of obsessive love. sounds intense, and it's definitely something different!

Thank you! I'd *like* it to be really dark, but I'll be honest, I think it comes off as more of an angst-fest. But then again, I am my own worst critic.

I guess it's a race, then. ;) How far along are you?
shmeiliarockie 3 years ago
Just let me know, and I'll buy your novel too. It's good to know *somebody* still respects the genre!
I usually don't take well to rejection, but I'm going to stick with it! I really want to get this thing out there, and I simply refuse to self-publish. Nothing kills your credibility faster than that.

Also, thats an awesome shirt. =D

I'll buy a copy. It really cool that you're an author. I would like to be one, but I can't even right a fanfic good enough to post anywhere. Do you have a title yet? And hopefully by 2012 I'll have forgotten that you told us they break up.

Hey, you know, fanfic is a great place to start. I wrote three (sadly unfinished) epic fanfics before I moved on to original fiction. So don't be so hard on yourself! It's good training.
I'm thinking of calling it Dandelions. It was going to be something longer, but I like the one word title better.
