Which one is your favorite to read or to write about?

Personnately, oneshots are my little pleasures ^^ They are quick to read and you don't have to wait for the end. Same goes for writing, because you obviously don't have to update it once it's post.

But in another way, oneshots get less feedback than multichapters, which makes me wonder why... Is it because most of the reviews consist of "Update soon!" and you can't leave that with a oneshot?

But then I am a lazy writer and decide to write oneshots, which require less effort for me to write. ^__^ Jul 01st 2007, 6:54pm #2

I have so much trouble updating!! I just open my files, correct one or two things, add several sentences then do something else. Write something more interesting. Start another story.

I've got too much scenarios... Can't finish them though.

All that to say... Dudly hates multi-chapters. Jul 02nd 2007, 7:14pm #3

Going back on topic now: I like both xD But I can't seem to write oneshots without making them super confusing xP Jul 02nd 2007, 7:52pm #4

But I still love it! Jul 02nd 2007, 8:02pm #5

Whereas sometimes oneshots that aren't ended well, even if they have a great idea, don't seem right. Jul 03rd 2007, 5:07am #7

Dudly-san, are you listening? Jul 03rd 2007, 10:26am #9

I just finished reading the reviews that were submitted to this special last oneshot... Most of them said "It's so sad" and some of them asked for, either a sequel or an happy ending.

I think I can do a sequel but... was the ending so bad? Jul 03rd 2007, 2:53pm #10

Hey! Royal Oneshots is FINALLY listed in Elistist Royale! *Does a little dance* Jul 03rd 2007, 3:08pm #12

Congrats on getting your fic listed in Elistist Royale! =D Jul 03rd 2007, 3:14pm #13

Y'know, Chibi Vic, you should update Off Course too! ^^ Jul 03rd 2007, 3:23pm #14

*dies* I'm working on it xD But one thing disgusts me, I'm puting WAY too many OCs in Off Course... -.- PoT needs more evil characters for me to use xD Jul 03rd 2007, 3:29pm #15

Hey, really, we should scatter the discussion a bit everywhere. Gosh, when are you going to answer on some other forums?

----------------------Draws a line to flood-----------------------------

(If an answer is to be written, make sure it involves Oneshots and Multi-chapter fics... THE FLOOD AS TO GO ON OTHER TOPICS!) Jul 03rd 2007, 3:42pm #16

I tend to like multi-chapter stories because... they just go on longer. (Is that a goof enough reason? I can't think of a really good one. I just like them better.)

I, however, prefer writing one-shots because I'm one of the laziest people on earth. Jul 13th 2007, 1:31pm #17

I guess they were too lazy to make it. Damn, laziness is a way of living, not a thing to do on special occasions xD

Maybe it does exist. Too lazy to do a research though . ^^ Jul 13th 2007, 5:02pm #20

That's true.

Well they should make one to honor ir at least.

But I guess the world was just too lazy.

Everytime I write narratives my teacher will be going "Where's the plot? The climax? the conclusion?" o.O Jul 28th 2007, 6:07am . Edited Jul 28th 2007, 6:43am #22

For multi-chapter stories, it's much harder. I don't want to write one unless I have the whole story plotted out. I need to know the ending first because I don't want to end up with an author's note saying, "I don't know where this is going, etc. Any ideas?" that will disappoint the readers. Jul 29th 2007, 11:28pm #24

Multi-chapter stories are just so much work. Aug 01st 2007, 12:51am #25

Mine just got shot down. -sigh- I _really_ have to _work_ on it.

Oneshots are kinda crazy for me now since I have ideas popping into my head and I can't put them into words. XD Aug 01st 2007, 6:44am #27

Maybe it's because I'm full of empty promises and of "I'll do it... some other day?"

This is not a good attitude when you start a multi-chapter story *shakes head* Aug 01st 2007, 1:20pm #28

I like to start chapter stories, though. xD I have lots of prologues for stories that I will probably never finish xD Aug 01st 2007, 1:54pm #29

Anyway, I'm *done* with the new Royal Oneshot. Though it's entirely not good. But Snape doesn't care. He says he won't even lay an eye on "Boys love"

And I have no idea for the "Coming up next"... *Sighs* Aug 01st 2007, 6:11pm #32

Snape gets paired up with ... a lot of different people though, both girls and guys. xD Aug 01st 2007, 6:28pm #33

I'm always very critic with my work. Very very critic- more than I am with anything else (except stories against the guidelines and stupid Sues)

Though I might post it now... *Sighs* I'll go brush my teeth and see if I can come up with a "In the next episode..." Aug 01st 2007, 6:37pm #34

Ahh, now I don't have any more excuse. I'll have to send it at it is -_-' Don't sue me when you'll read it though. Aug 01st 2007, 6:51pm #36

Lalala. I feel lighter, now that I've update one fic. Five more to go! (Though maybe I'll never update the Sailor Moon and Sisterhood Pants one XD I'm so bad... ) Aug 01st 2007, 7:17pm #38

Hmmm. RO ^____^

It's okay if that's not updated! .... Because I'm rather more inclined to read RO XD And ... it was great xP Aug 01st 2007, 7:23pm #39

Makes me laughing, really. But all I can write about HP is ALREADY cliché :| Aug 01st 2007, 7:35pm #40

I think I might start writing today...

xD Wish me luck.

Dudly-san:

Lol. I say that to myself all the time.

Awahhhh. It's so cute, the new one-shot.

Eliz-san:

I agree.

I have so many ideas, but I don't know how to write them out.

It's just like a blob in my head.

O_O Aug 02nd 2007, 1:13pm #42

xD My head was going to circles. Aug 03rd 2007, 1:17pm #44

I ended up messing with graphics today.

-Made a wallpaper

-Made an icon

-Edited my whole Xanga page

-Watched half of Hana-Kimi episode 5, Jap. Version

-Did some other random stuff

I didn't get to work on the story at all. xDD Aug 03rd 2007, 9:49pm #46

(Not that I'm tired yet of my icon... Chibiko changes hers WAY too often XD I always have to read the name- which I don't do normally, since I know what icon stands for who) Aug 04th 2007, 2:56pm . Edited Aug 04th 2007, 2:58pm #47

Do you have a specific theme color you want it to be?

What do you want it to say? Aug 04th 2007, 3:08pm #48

Maybe "Spread the Royal Love" would be more like it... Is 'Gayness' a word? Aug 04th 2007, 3:50pm #49

I can't promise you that it'll be like a picture of them together.

The picture could end up like mine.

I'll just put "Spread the Royal Love"

I think it is. xD Aug 04th 2007, 3:56pm #50
