/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Why what happened?

>>48512413
Sorry, was at the gym.
>>48512986
It's rrat season with three vshojo graduations within a week. The rrats must flow.

>>48513407
I actually like to write at the gym myself. If you lift weight, there's a lot of rest time between sets to get a couple words down

>>48513600
I'm not brining my laptop into the gym.

>>48514293
If only there was a portable device you could write on that fit in your pocket

>>48514766
Typing paragraphs on your phone sucks though

>>48515243
True. It's slow. But if I'm going to be sitting there anyways, staring off into space while thinking of good lines, might as well jot them down

Might as well make this THE thread

I dreamt that there were Hololive plushies at my local store for very affordable prices and I was so happy... Why must the real world be so cruel?

can't wait for this one to archive too

>>48518596
It's been a hectic few weeks in the world of Vtubers, so it's not all that surprising or big a deal. There's still plenty of writers who posted proof of working yesterday, and the thread before hit bump limit just fine.

Kinda makes me wish I got off my ass and wrote the VShojo hatefucking fic I have outlined, but after trying to watch them they kind of annoyed me for the most part so I lost interest.

>>48518866
>thread before last*

>>48512413
SELEN I KNOW YOU ARE /HERE/ PLEASE MARRY ME I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, I AM GOOD AT PUBLIC SPEAKING

>>48520221
Someone please pick up stinky selen sex... I already have two wips

>>48520824
One more can't hurt anon

>>48520824
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I NEED IT

>Think of a scene that would be great to add as I fall asleep
>Wake up with zero recollection of it.
I've been reading my fic over and over for help and nothing is coming back.

>>48513600
>Rest periods long enough to write in
You must be a power shitting bloat lord.
Get aesthetic, embrace super sets.

>>48513600
I spend my time between sets concentrating on counting the seconds. Doubt I could write at the same time

>>48523935
3 minutes is enough for a couple lines.
Then you spend the set thinking about what to say next.

>>48524695
At the very least do this when the gym is empty

>>48524679
I couldn't do that. I have zero of mathematical reasoning when lifting heavy. Sometimes I lose count of reps kek, like I forget how to count and just skip numbers
>>48524859
Why would it even matter? Is this an autism thing? Half the people in there have their phone out when waiting on sets.

>>48526180
Other people are paying just the same as you are to use the equipment. Having them wait to use it because you want to write smut in a place you're not supposed to be doing anything besides working out is immoral. It's not illegal, no one will complain about it, but it is still immoral. Like dumping oil in the sink without breaking apart the fat first, or not returning your shopping carts to the correct place after using them. It's actually very much the opposite of autism, because without it, society doesn't function.

>>48526780

>>48526780
>>48527057
I don't see the amogus

>>48526780
Ok, you just outed yourself on never going to the gym.
Everyone takes time to recover after a set. 3 minutes is an average pace. I'm not sitting their for twenty minutes because I'm not a retired boomer with nothing to do all day, but I'm also not going to rush back in when my muscles are tired just because I get the idea that somebody from across the gym wants to use it.
Even if they do want to use it, we gymbros, in our infinite wisdom, invented this process called "working in", whereupon you're free to ask to use equipment that somebody else is resting on.

>>48527607
I take 40 seconds between each set, 50 on the final one. I count the seconds, and when the time is up, I just do it. If you take 3 minutes, either you aren't pushing yourself hard enough by taking such long rests, or you ARE a retired old boomer after all.

>>48527607
>3 minutes is an average pace.
Uh... nope. No, it's not. A minute is average. 3 minutes is fucking slow.

>>48527607
I pretend I have a partner doing my same routine and when "they're done" I move on to my next set.

Another WIP won't hurt, right?

>>48529009
You should just post your older unfinished works. They're never going to be complete, so it'd do your heart some good to no longer have to think about them.

How would you feel if your oshi read your writing about her?

>>48529136
Depends on her reaction. I'm not sure if she would like it

>>48529136
I'd laugh. As much as I like her, my writing about the character she plays isn't actually any of her business, so I don't care if she doesn't like it.
If she does somehow like it, then great.

>>48523361
I feel you, that’s happened to me a lot. I should force myself to write down some notes when that happens but that would mean taking myself out of the near-sleep state, which I have trouble getting to in the first place.

>>48526780
I think you’re being too conscious about it, I take about 3-5 minutes between sets. I’ve been going for 2 years now and maybe your gym is different, but I see other people doing the exact same thing.

>>48529009
Don't do it.

>>48529897
The hell is this tool anyway that captures the name of the series and episode you're on? I always screenshot with Windows shift alt

>>48530244
Dunno, I just use the "Save Image" function in MPC

>>48529009
How many wips are you up to now?

>>48529136
I would immediately kill myself. I am risking my life for you people.

>>48532329
NTA but I have 15 WIPS, most of which haven't been touched in a year. I'm only actively writing two of them. 11 of them are smut.

>>48523361
BROS I REMEMBERED

>>48529136
I would kill myself before she pressed charges.

>>48529136
First, embarrassment, then pride, then I would jerk off to her reading it over and over again

>>48533194
Write it down now anon, before you forget again.

>>48527795
>>48527845
Lift heavier. If you're recovering 40-60 seconds, you're not really pushing yourself.
The idea is catch your breath, but not get back to a resting heart rate. I don't believe 1 minute is enough recovery.
>>48529009
Finish what you started. It's annoying when the ideas for something else comes when you have a project, but being disciplined is healthier than having a bunch of scattered scenes

When is Selen going to do the fujosanji fan fiction reading!?!

>>48533500
I did, we made it fellas.

>>48534016
When is she going to read my love letters?

>>48513600
Do you dictate your smut via Speech to Text while exercising in order to assert dominance?

>>48534572
Never.

>>48518866
>VShojo hatefucking fic
What would have been the concept? You live with X and Y vshojo members, they act like sluts, you hate it, ??? , then your fucking each other while utterly despising each other?

>>48522298
You uh...you have the full?

>>48539557
Yes, but is sweaty futa with abs

>>48542544
For what it's worth that does sound like it would have been a hot 'smut loop' for a miniseries that you could vary up a bit for each of them... Too bad you didn't actually like them enough to make it.

>>48490586
Actually you can get mouth herpes on your crotch if a girl sucks your dick while she has a cold sore.

Source: my crotch after sleeping with a girl with way too many tatoos

>>48529136
Heart stoppingly nervous. I'd also feel flattered beyond measure that they would even give the story the time of day.
I would hope they like it.

>>48547760
Were you able to get rid of the shit on your crotch?

>>48544864
Me too man I'm never happy to dislike somebody, but it's the fuckin way she goes sometimes

>>48551597
Yeah, since it's the mouth variant any regular cream for cold sores will clear them.

It's still annoying because obviously with regular genital herp you're not going 10 feet near a girl that has warts all over her cooch, but a girl can look totally normal while hiding a cold sore on her tongue or the inside of her lips and you'll be none the wiser.

>>48552504
I guess that's another use for condoms

Boomp

>>48547760

Fucking Zaion over a desk right before she's removed from the student council...

>>48557907
This but she's getting kicked out because she's found out to be a fully grown adult woman and not an actual student

>>48548042
I think they would love your series.

>>48561633
Your idea of seething is very warped. There’s just no benefit to arguing semantics.

thanks for the lesson in philosophy captain obvious
got any more nuggets of wisdom for the class?

What fics are you still holding out hope for?

>>48569108
It's already too late to salvage this thread. Just let it die instead of prolonging this charade.

>>48569108
Mine...

>>48569172
It boggles the mind the extent of people here are willing to go to not talk about writing, chuubas, or even make prompts and wonder why /wg/ is dying prematurely.

>>48569172

>>48569172
>Scroll through this thread expecting an interesting prompt to think over, or a story, all I get is /fit/ retards and AI shills trying to start something here for some reason.
I would have even accepted a greentext story at this point…. That isn’t asking much, right?

>>48569653
Only hololive jp is accepted here.

>>48569719
I wish that was the case.

>>48569653
There's a nijisanji VN in the archive with a Rosemi route that's pretty good.

>>48569653
There's not many in the archive, you can check them out. https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbxZVzygb0QjJ6hksAEYzCbLCegxsjhui97BB73qzPvU7GgJv6fXdAPmmIv6Qt9H5d5Fzg/exec

>>48569835
He’s shitposting, anon.

I wish maneater ended with Choco winning.

>>48569653
Outside of ninisanni scenario the only 'notable' fic that features her is Stolen Dreams which may be to your taste.

>>48569653
I only remember Rosemi reverse rape.

>>48570417
Me too anon. There was no reason for that fic to go for the anticlimax rather than just fully descending into the pseudo-incest.

>>48570417
>>48571717
I wish Choco would climax against my mouth.

>>48569835
Is that the one in the /nijien/ OP? I haven't looked at it, but maybe I'll give it a shot

>>48571027
The tags seem a bit iffy, but it can't be that bad, can it?

>>48572372
Don't worry, it's the niji girls that do the raping.

>>48572394
Sold

>>48569108
The ending for Holofantasy...

>>48573415
But then it's over!

>>48574261
I thought it was already over, and we were just waiting on the epilogue?

>>48574261
NTA, but I’ll take a good ending over seasonal rot

>>48574455
You mean the epilogue for the chapter, the last part basically ended before chapter 7 wrapped up the chapter plot.
Pretty sure there's still a myth arc of shit to go through... that I'm pretty sure the vtuber fandom will die before it actually all gets resolved.

>>48574598
Really? But the ending of the chapter seems to indicate it's the end of the story. I thought it was just unfortunate rolls and the series was about to unexpectedly end.

>>48574797
Anon... the rolls.
The fucking boss monster was literally at -1000ish health.

>>48574935
What about the last 3 paragraphs? Doesn't exactly leave much hope.

>>48575450
Unless you're AA dropping hints about a drastic turn for the fic the last time he talked about the chapter was literally about how the only thing left to write for the chapter was the sixish bits of epilogues with the cliffhanger just being there as a cut off point >>38620104

Fuck.

>>48576915
>>48575806
I take it that 2023 hasn't been a good year for fanfiction then?

>>48578164
It hasn’t been a very good year in general.

>>48578164
It's been a rough year for some people.

>>48578164
It depends on your outlook. 2023 gave use Ninisanni Scenario and CouncilRys RPG. Plus, I'm seeing a lot more Hololive fangames on itch.io these days.

>>48567511
Iofi loves to seethe.

I think the question needs to get asked at this point. How the hell do we get more new blood for the thread?

>>48580365
You don't.
I don't mean this in the doomsaying way but what are you going to do, advertise? The closest thing that could be done for that would be telling people who write stuff in other threads to consider dropping it here. The only other thing you can do would be encouraging the lurkers/readers who ask writing questions to give it a go and hope.

>>48580365
Just wait and let them come in on their own. We can’t exactly put an ad in the classifieds.

>>48578164
I won't speak for others, but from my own personal perspective, I'm hitting a a nice stride so far this year. The past five months have been pretty alright and I got to practice a lot of different things. I've also seen in this year alone, quite a few one-shots and starts of new series by newer writers. It's way too early to get full doomer on this. The year can be as good as we want to make it.

Doomposters are being really annoying today

>>48579425
Is that RPG any good?

>>48580365
We briefly discussed some options in the past, and we considered asking Reddit but that idea was quickly taken out the back and shot.

>>48581330
I've been playing through it, I think I'm almost halfway.
Game is genuinely good.
Writing is on point, Council all talks how they actually speak. It's entirely based around their lore, no references to Myth at all. Has a lot of subtle references. Tone is pretty comfy.
Combat is fun, not too easy that it plays itself, but easy enough for any casual.
Artstyle is similar to Pokemon.
Overall, I would highly recommend to some who's even a slight fan of one of the girls.

>>48580365
Back in an old thread I used to frequent, we actually had a writing competition divided into four categories: Comedy, Action, Drama, and Romance. Each category would have a winner, then the top fics of each category would be judged and they would be the best (short) fic of the year. The winners were decided through polls, and all the entries were compiled in a PDF or archive, iirc.
The short length of the fics plus the competition aspect not only got people reading fics more (since they were short), but writing more as well (for all the Yous and the title of best fic of the year). New bloods usually get in on writing through these competitions. Dunno if this'll work like that here, but might as throw it into the idea pile

>>48581900
We did talk a bit about hypothetical /wg/ awards awhile back…maybe hosting a competition would liven things up a bit, assuming people actually decided to participate

>>48581900
It's not a bad idea, but I think any new blood that tries writing for this thread would get discouraged when put up against some of the beasts that are the regulars here. That's not an insult to their skills mind you, everyone has to start somewhere and anyone has the potential to win, but some Anons have been cultivating their writing for far longer and would have a clear advantage.
Of course, you could try setting up a competition for writers that *don't* frequent /wg/, but that's hard to enforce and there's no way of knowing if one of our guys secretly enters.

>>48581722
I should check it out then. I've been watching a lot of Bae lately plus IRyS is always a lot of fun.

>>48581900
Honestly I think I'd like participate in one of these. Maybe have the contest theme be something like 3 random words with the writer being given freedom to interpret them in the direction of a chuuba fic. Then have the guidelines be on making a reasonably short but interesting story in line with the given theme.

>>48569108
I hope that anon who's working on Koyo cheating behind your back is still here

>>48582288
I personally would prefer the four categories idea, so we can have four winners instead of one and so people get more range of choice, but that of course would require far more writers participating in the competition.
I would join regardless, though. I'm always up for some friendly competition, especially if it's based on a skill I've been improving for two years now.
That said, if the main idea is to get new blood we will need to advertise this to the rest of the thread.

>>48582415
What prompt was that from?
Because for some reason it's giving me the strange mental image of (You) being forced to record the statistics + Koyori's comments about every man going down on her in a line on like a clipboard while being powerless to do anything else and I have idea why that image is coming to my head.

>>48582682
There was a prompt a few threads earlier of Koyori becoming more and more distant from you and it's probably implied that she's been cheating behind your back

>>48582517
I mean there could still be 4 winners for each category it's just that the overall theme/direction would be the three random words (presumably chosen by fair dice roll).
As for advertising to the thread it would just be a matter of making it a soft 5th header post that contains the details and links for the '1st /wg/ writing contest'.

>>48583167
The next question would be how we judge the entries? A simple vote tally should work as long as we all agree to not be votebotting fags.
Is there someone who would want to administer the votes?
Also, maybe the timespan is something to consider. I think a month is reasonable, right?

>>48582076
>>48582256
>>48582288
>>48582517
Yeah, all we need is an anon who would host the competition, set up the polls, and organize the entries for viewing on competition day. I remember that there was a deadline for all the entries, which were submitted through pastebin links. These links were then put into individual pastebins per category.
As for potential smurfing, what we did was that all the entries should only have the title and the story itself; no identifiers for the authors. So everyone would be going in not knowing whether this year's winner was a newbie or /wg/ veteran except that specific anon only (unless he/she went around saying 'I was the one who wrote X', of course)
>>48583167
As for links, iirc there would be an anchor post to which everyone who wanted to submit their entries would reply to. The post would also have a reminder for the deadline of submissions. In the reply, an entrant would put the following:
>Title of the story
>Category
>Pastebin link
>>48583357
I can't remember if we used StrawPoll or Poal.me; any of the two would be fine, though. As long as no one botfags, of course. As for timespan, I think it was... a month and a half? There was also a word limit so anons wouldn't end up writing really long pieces. I think it was 1k - 2k words or so. Maybe 3k

>>48582256
>there's no way of knowing if one of our guys secretly enters.
If /wg/ is too lazy to write a collaborative fic, I highly doubt it's members could be bothered to write something for a competition. You probably don't have to worry about any veterans hijacking the contest.

>>48583582
If this idea ever does end up happening, we could temporarily modify the thread to "competition mode", like /hfz/ has done with lord of the board. We leave a story anchor for regular stories, then a competition anchor for stories that anons from across the board wish to enter into the competition. Shill it to a few of the larger threads, set up a poll after a time limit and see how it goes. We might get 0 entrants, or a handful of new blood.

>>48583357
We're probably not going to have enough entries that just going with ye olde first past the post for the four categories to make it unfeasible. Presumably it would just be a matter of collecting entries for 1 month posting them all as one archive after the contest period then having 4 polls on a polling website.

>>48583357
>not be votebotting fags
That's the one thing I'm most worried about, and also the most likely thing to happen. Some dickhead is bound to go on a rampage to ruin things. A judge committee doesn't exactly work either, though.

>>48583649
>Shill it to a few of the larger threads
Sooo that would be the splits, maybe global (though I'm 50/50 on that). Clockgen might bite since they have a dedicated fanfic archive of their own. There's also the question of whether the contest should be Holo-only or mixed Holo-Niji-Whatever other corpo or indie you want to write about
>>48583736
True. I think we lucked out that time since we never really had any problems with schizos shitting up the contest to begin with. Everyone was more or less cool with how the voting turned out

>>48583582
>As for potential smurfing, what we did was that all the entries should only have the title and the story itself; no identifiers for the authors. So everyone would be going in not knowing whether this year's winner was a newbie or /wg/ veteran except that specific anon only (unless he/she went around saying 'I was the one who wrote X', of course)
I think what that Koyo poster's trying to say is that regardless of anonymitiy, it would be unfair to pit new writers up against the writers who've been hanging around /wg/ writing novels for the past two years.

>>48583736
Too bad this board doesn’t use IDs, or we could just have the voting be through posts

>>48583860
There's no reason to restrict it to Holo only. It's almost certain that a Hololive story will win, but as I said, there's no reason for that restriction.

>>48583582
>As for potential smurfing, what we did was that all the entries should only have the title and the story itself;
I think it wouod be a good idea to require entries to not previously be declared to have been written by someone. As in, they're not released to the general til the day of the contest
Still though, there's the potential of some faggy author smurfing his own entry, but I'm not really sure if that's solvable other than the normal IP check polling sites.
>There was also a word limit so anons wouldn't end up writing really long pieces. I think it was 1k - 2k words or so. Maybe 3k
I think this is a great idea. As a longer writer myself, it'll keep things more balanced and allow for more time spent editing, thus creating higher quality works.

For now, I would only go one category, just because I don't think that many will enter. It would suck to have an entire category just be one person's entry.
>There's also the question of whether the contest should be Holo-only or mixed Holo-Niji-Whatever other corpo or indie you want to write about
I think most non-Holo writers will go in with the understanding that Holo works tend to hold favor and will probably get more votes. No reason to restrict it.
Part of the fun would if someone writes an entry about their indie rando that happens to be really good and showcases that indie's personality.

>>48583882
Personally, it might actually make things interesting and unpredictable. Just throw all levels into one big category and let the chips fall where they may. Who knows? Maybe the newbies will surprise everyone with their prowess and upset the vets. No one would know who the vets and the newbies are anyway, so there's little risk of someone being embarrassed or whatever (unless they go and admit they were the writer of X fanfic)
>>48583944
All right then; I was just thinking on the off-chance that someone might complain or whatever. But yeah, no restrictions would make the most sense
>>48584081
>they're not released to the general til the day of the contest
Oh yeah, that's definitely what happened. Now that I think of it, there wasn't an anchor post that you were supposed to reply to. Instead, there was an email you were supposed to send your story title, category, and pastebin link to. Or was it a Google form? (apologies; this contest was held way back in 2017 so my memory of it is a bit fuzzy)
Also, all the entries were supposed to be bespoke for the contest itself; no previously released fics (the moderator or someone else would point it out if that were the case)

>>48583582
I think 3k words is too short. Sure, we don't need full on books, but 3k words really isn't that much. It feels restricting. I think 1-5k words is better.

>>48583582
>>48584469
I'd prefer a contest for short pieces, at least to start out with. If you want to make this a lasting thing a lot of entries would be helpful.

>>48584325
>no previously released fics
That's what I had in mind. If we could use old fics people would just submit their greats that are already in the archive. Fresh stories is a better way to go about things.

>>48584325 (me)
Okay, now I remember. You replied to the anchor post in the thread to indicate that you've already submitted your entry via email (or a form). Can't remember if you were also supposed to indicate at least the title of your fic (and its category) in your reply
>>48584469
Actually, I don't remember the exact word limit lmao (I'm trying to dig for the post that contained the rules), though I agree that 1k to 5k words is a reasonable word limit. Still, a shorter word limit would mean anons could write stuff quickly

>>48584548
We can always keep a low minimum word count. Make it 500 words or something so the people who want to pump out short pieces have the freedom to do so, while people who want to write longer pieces use the 5k word max.

>>48584617
Hold on, so all the stories get released on the final day of the competition? That sounds like a mess, wouldn't every voter have to read all the stories to come to a decision? Why not have them released over the course of the competition month, just posted throughout the thread like we're doing with our stories now (but to a different anchor, of course). That way anons will be able to read through all the stories as they come out and have more time to form opinions.

I think (at least for one category/prize) only people who have written something for the contest should be able to vote. That way everyone could submit their vote by editing them into the document that contains their story.

>>48584867
Wouldn’t everyone just vote for themselves?

>>48584923
No voting for one's own story, in that format.

>>48584867
As much as I'd like to avoid viewbotting, that would come with another set of problems. Breaking anonymitiy, one author having two stories, etc.

>>48584975 (me)
Two documents, I mean. So an author can write two stories beforehand then claim to be two different people.

>>48584850
No, they were staggered. iirc, the fics for only one or two categories would be released that week, then the following week would see the other two categories released. That way, everyone got to read all of them, form their opinions, and vote properly. I don't have the exact days, but I know for a fact that the releases were staggered so it wouldn't be one big mess on contest day
Currently looking for the rules now. Man, it's as if everything after 2019 on this site had been scrubbed off the internet

>>48585027
Would someone really go through the trouble of writing two stories just to win a bragging-rights competition? It’s not like there’s a cash prize.

>>48584975
It doesn't break anonymity, unless you're a thread celebrity that wants to make sure everyone knows what your story was (and in that case you're probably not too concerned about hiding your preferences anyway. The worst consequence would be people shitting on your taste, but given that your own fics probably reflect your taste too that's not a new risk.
As for someone voting multiple times, you can't totally prevent that. Forcing people to write multiple stories just to split their two votes between them sounds like a higher barrier to entry than getting multiple votes on Google forms, poll sites etc. where you can focus all votes on a single story.

>>48585084
Eh... but then you'd have people reading and voting right up to the day of the next contest. I'd rather have a massive story dump. Actually, as a compromise, if we could shorten the time length, make it three days per dump, that could be a week and a half post-contest to vote, and then people could mentally reset for the following contest.
>>48584713
I'd vote for a 5k word limit too.

>>48585084
Hmm, that's a little better, but there might not be enough time for people to read through everything, depending on the number of applicants. I still think it would be easier to have them posted to the thread when they're finished, and just keeping all the stories submitted to the "competition anchor" in a separate archive which people can visit freely. There doesn't seem to be any solid advantages to keeping the stories hidden until a certain date, especially if we don't go with the four categories idea, or if we go with something like what >>48583681 suggested.

>>48585473
Wait... next contest? What do you mean? Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves? We've only just started planning the first one.

>>48585473
>if we could shorten the time length, make it three days per dump, that could be a week and a half post-contest to vote, and then people could mentally reset for the following contest
Oh yeah, that's much better. I think you meant 'following category', but yeah a dump every 3 days would be better
>>48585513
Depends on the number of participants, then. Like, after the deadline, if there's actually a good number of fics submitted, we can dump them every three days like what >>48585473 suggested. If the entries aren't that many, then we can go with >>48583681's suggestion. The key would be in announcing which method we'll be going with ahead of time so a majority of the thread knows how it'll go down

>>48585513
I'd err on the side of less entries.
Taking your idea and running with it, what if we a post to the usual OP posts that is exclusively about the competition?
As in, it would list the end date of voting, the date of the announcements, and a pastebin to each fic that has been submitted so far? If the amount of fics are too much for one post, then we can have it scroll through the most recently submitted.
I think this would be a good idea because then people don't have to go twaling through some external archive, the story link would be the first thing they see entering a /wg/ thread. Since it gives writers clout and guaranteed clicks, it could definitely incentivize people to write.

Shit, now I'm getting hyped. I already have an idea in mind for a story.

>>48585638
Maybe I am getting ahead of myself.
I think it's a really good idea and will drive up more engagement, so I was looking too far in the future in anticipating it would be regular.
You're right, for now, we should plan with this being the only contest.

>>48585962
>I think it's a really good idea and will drive up more engagement
Spoken like a true soulless influencer

>>48586070
I meant engagement solely in terms of writers writing. I doubt anyone here is trying to grift fanfiction of virtual fucking youtubers

>>48585861
So the competition is still in the main thread, but we link posts to the OP that relate to the competition? That's what I had in mind, except we make a separate archive for competition-exclusive stories.
>>48585729
Wait, so let me get this straight. If we get a lot of fics, we dump them by category (Romance, action, comedy, drama) every three days. So first would be romance fics and voting for best romance, then three days later we dump action fics and get voting for best action fic, and then so on.

And if we don't get that many fics, we dump them all at once and have people vote for which story is the winner of each category?
If we do go with the former option, I think three days is too short. Maybe five days would be better since people can't always be monitoring /vt/ and reading takes time.

>>48581496
What was the reason again?

Buy 4Chan ads. Your little contest will live and die in this thread, attracting no one in the end.

>>48586309
>Wait, so let me get this straight...
Yup, exactly! It'll all depend on how many fics are submitted by the end of the deadline
As for the dump interval, yeah. Now that you mentioned it, maybe every 5 days would make the most sense considering that not everybody is around all the time

>>48586456
>4Chan ads
That's just unecessary. We can shill it once or twice in the major threads, which would do more than what an ad would achieve.

>>48586456
Considering that people come here with Adblock, it might not do as much good as we would like

>>48586456
I mean hey, even if the contest does only exist in this thread, I'd be ok with that. A competition between regulars sounds fine too.

>>48586456
Then I will be the only entry and win, fufufu...
Honestly though, out of the 50 ips in this thread, I have a feeling that a good amount can conjure up 5k words in a month's time.
>>48586536
Nta, but five days is fine, so long as it isn't a week. My only issue with the weekly dump was having four categories.
Honestly, I think the best bet now is to just post the contest and wait to see how many entries we have.
>>48586745
Same. To me, I think driving up an incentive to get regulars here to actually write is more important than actually dragging in newcomers.
I also think one kindly worded shill posts in all of the generals will drag in a surprsing amount of newcomers. Similar to how /hfz/ or that country map general does it.

I think we should address catagories. The suggested ones have been action, drama, romance, and comedy. Some of those overlap a bit. Since we have a lot of horror and smut fics, maybe we should narrow things down? How about vanilla, love, and violence?

>>48586739
With how many newfags inhabit this board I'd bet a lot of them don't have adblock. For example, when Gura was doing an anime watchalong I remember one anon complaining about the ads on crunchyroll.

It'd be pretty hard to organise this anonymously, especially if we're trying to get different opinions on the matter. I guess we could leave all the organising to one person, but that would be a lot of work for one guy. Should we put together a few key members or...?
No, we're not making a discord. I'm talking simple emails.
>>48587293
>vanilla, love and violence
Doesn't roll off the tongue very well imo. We could go even simpler and just have two categories, NSFW and SFW. If we try to acommodate for all the possible fics people want to write, from degeneracy to fluff, we'd have too many,

>>48587293
I was about to suggest dividing them into 'Lewd' and 'Non-Lewd', but yeah anon here >>48587660 already beat me to it lmao
As for the organizing, in our case it really did fall to just one or two guys to have everything sorted out in time for contest day. Those guys really got everyone together
>>48587571
Then... let's keep that option in our back pocket when the time comes

>>48587660
I agree with those two categories. Keep it simple.

In terms of accountability for the contest, shouldn't we push all the work on the guy who makes the threads and updates the archive?
(pic unrel for the bump)

>>48587660
Let's make a discord for it.

>>48587846
>shouldn't we push all the work on the guy who makes the threads and updates the archive?
That's the worst person in the thread and the best person that you're lumping together

>>48587846
>Guy who makes the thread
All he does is make it then immediately leave. At least I think he does. Earlyfag is an enigma.
>The guy who updates the archive
I think AA being the head honcho makes the most sense, but he is currently in a Mongolian mud-wrestling match with members of the IRS. He's a busy guy, and I wouldn't want to push 100% of the responsibility onto him.

>>48587846
I think AA already has a lot on his plate. Shoveling a contest onto it might just be the last straw that broke the camel's back unless he wants to do it, of course
>>48588085
I was thinking I should do it. But I'll have to do a lot of thinking first. It might be beyond my capabilities

>>48588085
>All he does is make it then immediately leave. At least I think he does.
He jumps IPs immediately to try and avoid being recognized as OP

I'd like to see a contest with shorter entries that has the same prompt for everyone. It's interesting to see how different people tackle the same basic idea.

>>48588251
I've always thought it might be that but figured I was being paranoid. Nice to see I'm not alone in my suspicions.

>>48588357
Shit, back then, we had that every thread
Someone would post the "Word of the thread" (for example, "balance") and anons would reply with poems, greentexts, or even short stories based on the prompt. It got the writing juices in the thread flowing, at least
Since we're on the topic, would you guys be amenable to something like that?

>>48588204
I'd be willing to help organise this as well, if it does seem too much for one person. Getting this idea off the ground sounds like a fun idea.
Regardless, we should probably wait for lord of the board to finish first. One event at a time would keep /vt/ entertaining for longer.

>>48518574
May I suggest an alternative: DIY. You could make yourself a fumo agency already.

>>48588664
Thank you, anon. I gotta sort out how the whole thing will run, plus I'm also looking for those old contest rules browsing archive.moe is a bitch Jesus
>lord of the board
Oh yeah, that's where our fly guy is at, right? Hell yeah

>>48588506
Though it sounds fun, I fear it might discourage participation if people have an idea for a good fic that doesn't fit the prompt

>>48588506
Did that ever happen? I thought it was just one guy posting a new word to increase our vocabulary. I don't remember any stories sprouting from the word of the day.
In general? Yeah. For the competition? No, not really.

>>48588506
For really short stuff I wouldn't mind a single word like that, but I'd also like some more specific prompts. "A comfy evening at home with Towa" or "Convincing Watame to give you a titjob".

>>48588776
Then they just don't participate; there's always the next thread anyway
Also, the post can have two alternative words so at least there's two to three choices. That might help
>>48588784
Nope, it didn't happen here afaik I am invoking stuff from the old /ddlc/ getting-the-thread-together playbook
>>48588908
We could leave specific prompts to the prompt anchor then, since we have a plethora of both anons making prompts and existing prompts to choose from

>>48589092
>there's always the next thread anyway
Oh, are you talking about just every thread?
I thought you meant for the contest (which I assume will not take place on a threadly basis)

>>48589358
No, no, this is a completely separate thing lol
Just something for anons to take quick shots at with a chance for feedback from other anons if they're so inclined
Who knows, the next HoloFantasy could end up coming from a one-shot or poem made from threadly one-word prompts. Being a tad optimistic, I know, but still right?

>>48589625
In that case, I am fully in support of it.
Though I might not write much for it, it might inspire a nice greentext

Who wrote "Dumb Onion NTR"?! You mother fucker don't awakening new fetish!

>>48609167
>What's her deal? What's her lore?
Lumi is a giga Stacy western idol who is pure, virtuous, virginal, and who keeps it honest with her fans with GFE, she also happens to be the queen of /vst/. Women also hate her because she keeps it real and doesn't put on a mask for her viewers.

>>48607007
I just realize that the schizo is trying to deflect by blaming the earlyfag for his behavior. Kinda humiliating that all his posts got deleted then.

>>48609631
Gigi stacy is a good start. Let's hear about those star motifs. They just fancy jewellery or is she some space girl?

>>48609631
This is bait, right?

>>48610287
Wait I'm dumb. Anon used stacy and virginal in the same sentence.

>>48609537
The issue is that I'm only 4k words in.

>>48611206
So you're 4k closer than you ever have been before. Each step is as important as the last. Just keep that fire you have from wanting to see the things you planned come to life, and that will fuel you for untold amounts of words to come.

>>48608759
>To waste hours of their lives talking to themselves?
I'm not exaggerating when I say that schizo's posts were a third of the total posts for that particular thread. It was that bad.

What if you cum too early, inside her? Would she get mad?

>>48624504
You really think she hasn't been creampied by all the dudes before you? Suisei wouldn't wear a condom. She just takes plan B

Man, Suisei not being weirdly autistic about sex just feels weird. Like obviously any Holo being casual about it like this is going to feel strange when it's written out like this but Suisei feels like it's a double whammy of not feeling right.

>>48623869
How are they been craftier?

Wow this thread is so shit today.

>>48624939
She's having sex to learn how other people do it. After having sex with dozens of men, her conclusion is "...I don't get it!"

>>48624988
Not necessarily how, but rather why.

>>48624939
If you want true autism, Suisei would have sex once and conclude that sex is pointless and that masturbating feels just as good with way less effort. There you go, autistic Suisei.

>>48624988
>Suisei getting passed around in an orgy
>Last woman standing after everyone's passed out in a sex fugue.
>Still doesn't 'get' why people do this.

How so? I think it’s been great.

>>48625501
Anon, just ignore those types of posts, nothing good ever comes from them

>>48625081
I mean that at least sounds like it would be a fun character piece fic.

>>48625581
Anon, ignoring a post just causes it to repeat itself

>>48625581
You’re right.

>slow as shit
>self deletes vods
>userbase is so cancerous and brainless that it actively drag streamers down two intelligence thresholds

>>48625897
You're right.

NTA but it started off with doomposting and finished with bitching about doomposting, the conversation about competitions was cool but ultimately a sidenote.

>>48625081
How about having others do it? That's even less effort, provided they organize it themselves.

You are potato

If that disappoints you, don't take a look at the new thread, it's already derailed.

>>48627279
>Retards are still replying to bait posts, no matter how obvious it is
This general just gets more and more retarded, I swear.

>>48627279
That's how all our threads are now.

>>48627474
Is it sad that I can’t tell if it’s a last desperate measure to keep the threads afloat and not die, or if /wg/ has just gone to complete shit.

>>48627644
There's both parties here but the former is quickly being outweighed by the latter.

>>48627644
God I hope it’s the latter.
