  • Daring should have a cousin from Brismane named Diggery.
    I get it!
    Well, according to the TV Tropes page on Daring Doo, her brother is named Derring.
    Apparently, Derring is the name of her sister. She also has a brother, who goes by Darrin. Her parents were evidently not very creative. Or they were just massive trolls.
  • It happens. My name is Victor, my sister's is Victoria, and my brother's is Vigen.

    Is your family the real life VVVVVV?

    Where does fancomics lie in this debate?
    According to the scott-metric, 1 page or less is A-OK. Beyond that the okay-ness decreases per page.
    It depends. I mean, what counts as a fan comic? Is 8-bit theatre a fan comic? It uses sprites from Final Fantasy, but those are original characters.

    Consider the official Simpson's comics from Bongo. If those were made by fans for free on the Internets, they would be fan comics. Thing is, those are actually kinda good, and the people making them get money. And have you ever seen a fan comic of that calibre? Something that is very much quite like the original thing, only more of it? I haven't.

    Consider doujinshi. An entire volume of comic with someone else's characters and universe. I'm sure there's a good one out there somewhere, but 99.99999% are crap. Some of them are pretty crazy like Batman x Kiki's Delivery Service, but even those aren't actually good. The idea of them is good.

    I'm all for people making fan-works. Creating and remixing stuff is always the awesome. But all the fan stuff that's actually any good is made by people who already have skills. Like when a famous comic artist draws a Pokemon in an awesome way, aw shit!

    Show me the person who is already a great author of fiction writing a fan-fiction. Even when people write fan-fiction in an official capacity, they still suck. I read the famous Timothy Zahn thrawn trilogy. They are without a doubt the most popular Star Wars books ever. All the nerds love them. I read them to see what the deal was. They were middling to mediocre. If those are the best, I shudder when I imagine the rest. Shudder double for something some kid wrote in his spare time.
    Micheal Chabon wrote a novella which was essentially a non-cannon Sherlock Holmes story, and it was super good. There are plenty of awesome professionals that do fan-works based on properties they don't own. Manga authors who do doujinshi (Kiyohiko Azuma) and comic artists who do fanart (Kate Beaton drew spider man!) are commonplace, so hush.
    (Also, I don't need to post this because I just turned around and argued with you. .)

  • 7 Percent Solution anyone?
  • There was juts a great post-recording debate, and clearly we have a disagreement as to what constitutes fan-fiction.
  • It was a good debate.
  • Neil Gaiman wrote a pretty awesome Sherlock Holmes/Cthulhu Mythos crossover fan fiction. It was at the beginning of Fragile Things.

    Wish I could've heard it.

  • So. I'm attending a local gaming convention and it's been proposed that a mix of

    A) http://housesoftheblooded.net/

    and

    B) MLP:FIM

    be run. I am intrigued. I know nothing of A and very little of B. If anything else, I think I need to document it if it does occur.
  • Ah, so you're going to OrcCon?
  • I am, sir. Are you? It didn't even compute a fellow FRCF'ite might be there.
  • Ah, alas, I'm not. Even though it's close by, I didn't find out about it in time to budget the $50. I'll probably be at either Anime Club or Friday Night Dice.
  • Haha, an interesting play, Ms. Strong. Interesting indeed.
    So interesting that it seems to have been pulled. Either that or the link is broken.
  • /mlp/ exists as of today.

    Dear god, what have we done?

    On the upside, it aims keeps ponies out of the rest of 4chan.

    On the downside, the operative phrase is "Aims to", as the only way that will ever work is curing bronies of their nigh-on pathalogical need to cram ponies into literally every facet of everyone's lives possible.

    Friendship is magic, bronies are irritating. Death and taxes.

  • That's the best you can do? Weak as an old woman's piss, the pair of you. I'm only half as disappointed as I could be, though - after all, I only expect better from Rym.
  • Blimey, is that any way to talk to a cobber? You are a fair dikum mate. No need to ear bash us with hate.
  • need to cram ponies into literally every facet of everyone's lives possible.
    You sick bastard.
