[@tsukune] Just take your time and deal with what you need to deal with. I'm going to get very busy myself in the coming months. I haven't slept in a day again, but I'm about to take a nap after I respond to a few things. [quote=tsukune] I do have quite a number of story ideas that I had planned for novel (not light novel, because I noticed my writing style has become a little too, uh, sophisticated to be suitable for [i]light[/i] novel), but some of them I feel would work better as VN because that would allow me to explore other routes/endings, which help to further expand the lore of my story, and deeper character development when faced with the various choices. [/quote] By no stretch of the imagination would my story be considered unsophisticated. The reason for going to light novel instead of just novel is the problem of length and complexity -- there is no way a single novel - no matter how large - would be able to contain even one of the arcs of my project, so the idea is that I plan to separate the story into what would best be described as 'episodes', and then have a handful of them in each book. I have no intention of going with multiple routes/endings, so my reasons for considering a visual novel format is entirely for the purpose of adding better visuals and even music -- it would still contain the full and heavy-handed narrative that the novels would have. [quote=tsukune] As for the Final Fantasy RP, cheers to you for that! I really like FF for the reason that it's more of a franchise title but each has its own story, world and characters. Of course, all of them would share a few generic similarities, such as the thing about the powers of crystal, and the recurring creatures (chocobo, moogle, the summons, and "everyone's favorite", Gilgamesh, haha). I wish I can find a way to reboot my FF RP ideas without my busy schedule killing them off again because I really want to play around the idea of deconstructing and reconstructing the canon characters for character studies, but oh well. I probably end up writing them as my own fanfic projects, or get only a few people I'm close with/able to work well together to collab instead of RPing with interested (but random) players. [/quote] In this role-play, I'll actually be using some (not all) of the concepts I've had over the years for Final Fantasy role-play ideas. I suppose keep an eye on the role-play when the time comes. It's using the Dissidia setting, but I expect the ideas I have in mind will make it a lot more complex than that story was. I've also had my own idea for a unique Final Fantasy role-play that wouldn't use canon characters -- think of it sort of like my own 'numbered' Final Fantasy, but I've never really gotten around to posting it up anywhere.
