OTP Drawing Challenge Day 5-(in Bed)

OTP drawing challenge day 5-(in bed)

"Wishing you would call my name, ‘cause only you can light the flame…" (if you haven’t heard The Flame by Keiko Lee, then go listen to it cuz it’s prime sex music)

Hey you never said what they had to be doing in bed~ I thought I’d try my hand at some porn, though it’s pretty soft core. I can’t bring myself to draw anything more lewd than this (though I can certainly try to write it…). Is this NSFW? It doesn't feel that way to me, but lemme know if it is and I'll tag it.

They’re both covered in terrible scars. I wrote a one shot a million years ago to help me picture what The Road Not Trekked's tone would be about that, where Gunther always insisted they have sex with the lights off, but since Nerr has dragon vision and can see in the dark, she assumes it’s because he thinks she’s ugly and disfigured. Nope, he just doesn’t want to see himself because he thinks HE’S ugly and disfigured. It pretty much ended with them both being like, “wtf are you smoking; you’re perfect!”

Doing this, I can kinda understand why hentai and sexy things in general look as bad as they do. When you start drawing risqué poses, at first, it looks great. But then you start turning the picture, and notice all the gross anatomical inaccuracies, so you have to erase and elongate and erase and elongate until it's actually proportional. And that's really hard to do if you're drawing shit one handed. I guess what I'm saying is... if you wanna draw porn, don't draw porn of things you masturbate to.

Honestly, this is why I just don't post multichapter fics until I've completed (that means written, proofread, edited, proofread, rewritten, and proofread again) at least 20 chapters. I honestly am not sure why other people don't do the same. It's YOUR story- feedback from the audience is secondary at best, and should not influence you too greatly if you have a clear vision of what to write. I wrote the five chapter prologue as well as 15 chapters of the main fic before I even created an account. I was done with my first fic and working on my second before I had posted half the chapters. Even now, I've just posted chapter 8 of my current fic and am writing chapter 22.

Why do I make such a backlog of chapters? Because shit happens. You get sick, you get fired, you have no idea what to write (I have been working on ch22 for more than a month because I have no idea where I'm going with it). When you build up a fanbase, I honestly think they deserve a little consistancy. People who are actual fans of your work will understand if shit happens and you need a hiatus (especially if you actually TELL them that's what's happening so they don't think you've abandoned the story they've become invested in). Think about how upset and disappointed you get when a game or movie you were really excited for is delayed.

Back when I used to read a lot of fanfics, my favorite author would tell her loyal fanbase whenever there was going to be a delay, so we would know why there was no update (she also responded to longtime reviewers like myself in every chapter, but that's a different subject).

TL;DR- if you want a work of yours to be popular, then prepare for people who treat it like something popular- hungry for/demanding more. This is FAN FICTION. You are not on a schedual, people. You don't have to have chapters on your editor's desk every week. Write a sizeable chunk of your story, a few chapters at least, and then... wait. Don't post it online as soon as you hit save. Just wait a few days, maybe a week. Reread it, see if you still like it (chances are you won't). Do your rewrites and editing BEFORE you hit submit. Why are you all in such a rush? If your answer is "I have to post before the fandom moves on!", then you're clearly just in it for the reviews and really don't care what people are saying just as long as that number gets bigger.

Writing is a process that often undergoes heavy edits… that includes responding to feedback. 

When bish be so proud of the sketch she don't wanna ruin it with ink (I'm still gonna ink it cuz my sketches are messy and illegible)

It bothers me that we never got the name of the continent that Fates takes place on!

OTP challenge day 4 (AU)

“You wanna be the best? Then you gotta BEAT the best, little girl.”

“You’re gonna be screamin’ my name by the time I’m done with you, grampa~”

Fuck yeah, I'd give anything to have some kind of FE mixed into my other favorite franchise, Pokémon! So we’ve got Champion Gunther and challenger Nerr. Pokémon needs more sexy oyajii champions. Alder was my game crush until… actually, fuck; who said I ever stopped loving Alder? That crazy awesome bastard is ALL my turn ons. In this Pokéverse, Nerr is not the friendly player character- that would be Azura. Nerr is the rival you name “Douchebag” who’s always three steps ahead of you and exists to mock your shitty Pokémon with her cheating-AI, perfect-IV team. You beat the Elite Four only to discover she’s already become the Champion.

Also, the Champion is the leader of the villan team, and you don't get to take down the villans until the post game, because the admins are OP as fuck and would laugh before curbstomping you. After pc Azura beats rival Nerr and takes her Champion title, she joins the villans, cuz fuck that playing fair bullshit. “Psh, nothing personal, nerd…” Oh, I hate her so much, and that makes me love her even more~

They both have balanced teams, but Nerr would specialize in Dragon and Fairy types while Gunther specializes in Dark and Poison types.
