Fuwanovel Confessions

[Getsuya]

Confession: I am addicted to joining forum roleplays, usually anime based ones. Every few weeks I get the bug and look up a roleplay forum. I spend a weekend making characters and getting them approved and, once in a blue moon, actually maybe make a few actual in-character posts before dropping it like its hot and never going back again ever.

 

I think the problem is I like exploring the worlds and characters of anime that I enjoy (and some I don't) and I like writing, but I don't like the teen angst power fantasy chuuni BS that makes up 90% of all online roleplaying, especially in anime RPs.

 

Probably the best RP I ever found was a Clannad RP that I really enjoyed for a while until I realized that the owner of the site literally just wanted us to re-create the story of Clannad perfectly in RP form, so he didn't allow almost any creativity or personal interpretations of the canon characters and he kept putting everything on hold because we couldn't move the plot forward until all the canons were lined up and ready to go and play their part. Sad, that. Maybe someday someone will make a VN roleplaying community where we just mash up all the high school romance VNs and let people do whatever they want with the characters. That would be tons of fun. Though also kind of strange since you'd have like 10 girls from every archetype and it would be hard to tell them all apart.

 

Edit: Also before I was into forum RPs I used to waste tons and tons of time on MU*s, which are... complicated. It's hard to explain exactly what they are. It's sort of like a chatroom crossed with an old text-based adventure game crossed with a whole lot of cyber-sex... because the only thing people want to RP online is relationships and sex. It was very... *ahem* eye-opening for me as a 12-year-old getting into that whole scene. I certainly freaked a lot of poor people out by telling them my IRL age AFTER we had just cybered. Hehe. Easiest way to break off a relationship I had gotten tired of EVAR.

Confession: I'm lactose intolerant, and as a kid I had some embarrassing acci-....  uhh, I probably shouldn't 

 

(regarding relationship troubles) - I think It's also because of people being picky xD

No, no. Please go on.

 

Confession: I pooped my pants in the car while stuck in traffic in the sixth grade.

 

Being picky in what regard? If you want a hot ass model with D cups and a nice booty, have fun dying alone.

[Cyrillej1]

How have you not played Higurashi? I mean, it's more creepy than scary, but that's beside the point.

I also bought that game on Steam, along with Cat Lady. I'm going to play them both!  I like the new graphics on Higurashi.

 

No, no. Please go on.

lol xD

 

Picky~  as in, wanting to be with someone they actually Like & connect with, not just anyone that comes along. -shrugs-

[Flutterz]

How did yuri get tied into this?

There are girls among us!

It seems you're already hooked.

 

Confession: I can't recall any embarrassing stories involving a lack of control over my waste disposal functions, but I used to be extraordinarily good at unknowingly stepping into dog turds and not noticing until way later. Also this one time someone pissed in one of my shoes in school, that was fun.

Trues, but I think most of the people responding here right now are guys.

 

Lels. Whoever did that is an asshole. I must befriend him.

General consensus goes that introverts prefer introverts, but going outside leads you into extroverts, and introverts are much rarer in the outside world unless you're still in high school or college, and most introverts (such as myself) don't really learn the fundamentals of relationships until they've already graduated.  (Though I only went for a half-semester of college before dropping off.)

 

Most introverts are on the internet, which is where introverts have the highest chance of running into other introverts, but the perceived risk of said female actually being male is enough to make things much more difficult,even if the actual chances aren't as high.  Aside from that, even if you find an actual female, you have to both confirm that their gender is accurate and figure out if they live close enough for such relations to be feasible.  (Anonymity makes this surprisingly difficult.) Long-distance is actually quite difficult, and has difficulty doing well from personal experience, especially for the types of people who don't get out much to begin with.

 

After that, we get to issues of whether or not trying to communicate would be perceived as being too obvious or pushy.  Even if there were a meet-up place for introverts, your only chances are usually obscure local meet-ups that can be difficult to find, or major conventions for something such as anime that often require large investments, depending on the distance required.  I mean, sure I'd like to find someone with similar interests as me - anime, games, VNs, etc, maybe a fellow aspie, though they aren't essential, but most of the time it's that the tools for introverts for people to find others on the other side of the introvert/extrovert cycle of their preferred gender (estimated to be 25% of the global population) is hard enough, and when you mix location into the mix it can be nigh-impossible to find someone.

Furthermore, I've noticed that I use the same opening a whole bunch in my writing.  It was a dark and stormy night, and something absolutely horrible is happening to our protagonist!

I kinda have the opposite problem. Most of my endings are really similar. They try to be poetic, have some symbolism, and has the main character die. Oh, and they're the first thing I write in my stories. I tend to write from the end.

Protip: Just click on the huge Hanako banner at the top of the page.

 

Clarification: I meant the root for the sub-sub-forum, not for the whole forums. I just noticed the "Back to The Coliseum of Chatter" button at the bottom of the last post, though, so... I guess there is actually a better answer than what I've been doing. Anyway, Hanako banner, really? Some people are still holding onto Gravity Green even though we now have Dark Theme Master Race?

 

Confession: I'm off work for the next two weeks, of which one week will be spent out of town. While ostensibly I'll be visiting a friend for that time, since he's not going to be off work the whole time, I have, naturally, loaded a VN onto the laptop I'm bringing with me. Next week is Majikoi week! I have to burn the midnight oil and wrap up Comyu before then, though...

My priority is usually character-first, but plot and beginnings/endings are about promises.  Beginnings set them up, endings fulfill them, and 'plot' is defined as your ability to set those up and fulfill them.  Characters give context to those promises and makes them have meaning, and setting provides a backdrop for the characters to interact.

 

That's just how I think about it, though.  In-general if you write from the end first, you have to think about what promises that ending fulfills, then set them up in the beginning scenes.

Not sure which site you're on, but the only master race here is Gravity Green Master Race.

O.O...... That might just be... the longest piece of bullshit I've ever read! Relying on meeting someone online is pathetic (not talking about dating sites, those are fine. It says that you at least tried to find someone outside). I'm an introvert as well but everyone has to get out there at some point. So there are just as many introverts outside your computer and outside your house as there are extroverts. So just sitting there being a homosexual online until you finally find a girl is just a waste of your life. Just go to school and maybe you'll actually meet people! Take Japanese 101, that's where I met a whole bunch of my anime loving friends.

 

I'm not tryna tell you what to do, that's not the point. The point is that it's ridiculous to meet girls like that. No game whatsoever. I have stated in one of my previous comments that hikkikomoris don't have the right to complain about being alone.

Hmm, I tend to think more on the themes, I guess. So my endings are about presenting those themes in full force. #pretentious

 

To not derail...

Confession: I would absolutely adore a romance where nothing goes right.

To stay on the dating topic...

There is only one person I am interested in dating. If you're not him, chances are zero. Do I win in my picky-ness?

To stay on the Fuwatheme topic...

I would like to use the dark theme, but I can't open spoilers or multi-quote. I stick with FuwaFabulous.

Hm...fair enough, I suppose my logic may have counter arguments.  That said, school has generally resulted in expensive emotional breakdowns from personal experience (another subject entirely), are there any places aside from that you would recommend?

 

I mean, I'll admit I try to find excuses to get out from time to time, though they're usually accompanying my mother since I have no otherwise method of transportation.  Are the possibilities of being viewed as a creep quite high or is just walking up and attempting to communicate an acceptable option?  Are there spots more accustomed to introverts as opposed to extroverts?  What of the processes required to increase ones' social capabilities

Themes for me are more about something that ties things together.  A theme-heavy story has the theme baked into every conflict within, but it's those conflicts that form the basis of the promises as opposed to the themes doing it directly.  You represent the themes in the form of conflicts and characters, then use those pieces to set and fulfill the promises.

If those are serious questions then pm me cause we'll get waaaaayy off topic from the thread.

Agreed, the only two crushes I had in my life were about as outgoing as you can be, except on the oposite ends of the moral spectrum. While my moral compass could serve as a centrifuge and  I'm so introverted my life is constantly threatened by the blackhole known as my bum. The type of person I am most attracted to would be essentially my polar opposite, because I have a severe case of self loathing. If I encountered my female equivalent I would put her out of her misery, before she could put me out of my misery because males generaly have a stronger build.

 

Or I may simply be agreeing because every online dating site compatibility test I've taken told me I had no compatible matches in the entire world and that I should just expect to die a lonely death, because I'm a unconformist bastard that shouldn't breed.

^There that was sort of a confession so I'm still on topic^

Wow. That was pretty heavy dude. When you said you'd "put her out of her misery" I really hope you meant that you'd help her overcome her probs.

 

This is waaaaayyyyyyyy off topic but since conversations like this have started, there should be an advice thread. Where people post their probs (if they feel comfortable) and other people give them advice about it. Is there a thread like that already here somewhere?

Not that I know of.  Though Coliseum threads are usually a bit more lenient on this kind of stuff - they're a lot less serious than the more focused boards.  Something like that would probably go in the Member's Lounge.

I don't think so, you may as well start one.

You needed a compatibility test to tell you that? Get on my level, scrub.

Of course I would help her overcome her problems..... with chloroform and Satoshi's bat. In all seriousness you shouldn't worry, I have a dark sense of humor which usually entails me picking fun at myself. If I hear Don't Fear the Reaper I'm not going to spontaneously walk in front of traffic or cut myself with the cardboard cutter I stole from walmart (Haha! another confession keeping this on topic!) that I keep around to cut any possible gay rapists or Republicans.

Bruh, where's that pm? Ain't serious about it? If no one gives a shit I'll answer your q's here, unless (again) they weren't serious.

Nah manz, I'll worry. I like talkin to people about this stuff. Which is why I said there should be a separate thread so this stuff can be talked about without getting in the way of people who're tryna confess.

 

Bwahaha if you come across a rapist pleaaase cut off his dick. Dunno why that isn't a real punishment for them xD

Confession: I'm back in America. 

 

Things I miss from California that Asia didn't have

 

Good pizza and hamburgers being the average here

Naturally curvy women being the average here.

 

Things I miss in Asian that California doesn't have:

 

The awesome variety of food I could pick just walking  10 steps out of my hotel/house/living area.

 

Life is literally everywhere in Asia. California for all the population density it has, feels so barren in comparison.
