The Fan Fic Help and Advice Thread

Well uh..uh...uh could it be fictional or it has to be real?

Nothing too fictional (I.E. The Armory of the Gods, with the finest of weapons crafted from Zeus' man tears; a mythical creature), but it would help if it was creative and had some meaning behind it (maybe treasures...but what type?!)

Well he can fight with Jason Bourne (yeah i know) and when he defeats him a passage opens where the stairs where and leads him to the secret of life: Potatoes. You can change the Potato part.

Perhaps, we could have it be that the "Treasure" is actally acreture that has been kept locked up there for untold years, and has now ben unknowingly unleased due to the tower being scaled... Just an idea...

[King Caesar]

>_> ...no. Nothing surreal...the focus is on the style of fighting and finding superiority in mixing them all together. Having a creature--or potatoes--would detract from that. I'm not saying it can't be cool, but let's keep an eye focused on the purpose of the original plot, please.

If that is the case... then have what is up there be a massive storage of gold, hidden away from the rest of the world. Who wouldn't want that?

*snaps fingers* A religious statue! Made of pure gold! Yes! And the village prays to the statue, but they fear outsiders. That's why it's protected by the best martial artists in the world! But then...oh no, I won't say more. You'll have to read it on your own!

And I already solved the latter issue, so this thread is currently problem-free.

Me, Myself and I.

Is it from a James Bond movie?

[King Caesar]

It's from Austin Powers: Goldmember. Close though.

Just some general friendly advice...

Cross-genre crossovers don't work out. Believe me. I did a number of crossovers between Horror and Comedy, and it never worked - it was impossible to respect both mythos well. Going too far into the Horror aspects diluted the comedy, and too much humor made it feel more like a spoof and less like a crossover.

What about Nightmare on Elm Street?

Funny you mention that, it was actually a Friday the 13th/South Park crossover.

I have question.

For my Blackest Night installment of my saga, I was wondering how to handle The Kaiju and Wonder Woman's wedding. Should I do it as a prologue or just have it as a short story before the main event and use the prologue as a way to explain the Blackest Night prophecy?

[King Caesar]

Prologue Wedding
Chapter 1 Prophecy Exposition

Why, you ask?

Hook the reader by the balls. Make them want to read what happens. This establishes a setting and also is a magnet for potential readers. Then you can settle it down and let them know exactly what the protagonists are dealing with. Savvy?

Works for me.

I need to make the monster battles a bit more action packed. The most recent one felt kinda..lacking =\

[King Caesar]

Did you revise it before you posted, or did you realize this after posting? It may be a revision issue that you may be having...

[Gyaos]

I revised it before I posted. Originally the battle on the diamond plateau played out completely diffrent. Just not it felt like the battle was lacking.

Sorry for the huge bump but I have a question.

I'm not sure what song I want to use as Tim and Diana's wedding song. I have two that I'm bouncing between that I really like:

Edwin McCain "Could not Ask for More"

or

BIg and Rich "Lost in this Moment"

What's your opinion?
