Has anybody finished writing anymore fanfics? How has the introduction of AI effect your motivation to keep on writing?
Thread died yesterday lmao. Even after someone bumped it. Still waiting on the Doom X Touhou and DMC X Touhou writers to deliver
A nice story based on the Destruction of Gensokyo made by one Anon in the last thread.
2nd part
Final part. I think in one of these there is a typo
>>49582317
>>49951230What was this?
I guess I have a question related to fanficsany OCs you've seen in those stories that you like? Could be because they fit really well into the world or because they're Coldsteel tier bad.
>>49952898Many anons including myself were talking about the unnamed protagonist in the Destruction of Gensokyo and it's sequel. One Anon made a long post criticizing the character. He wasn't cold steel bad. He was just way too overpowered and it read like a power fantasy for the author.I think the character's name was John.
>>49952898Some of the fics sometimes have a harem protagonist. Not my cup of tea.
>>49952898The Russian Maribel Hearn fanfic doesn't feature her until way later in the story. It's more of a Scarlet Devil Mansion fic. It explains how Remilia and Flandre got their vampiric powers and slowly introduces the other occupants like Patchouli.
Here's another story an anon shared. Set in Naples.
Unrelated, I just read a fanfic where Camilla from FE:Fates transforms everyone into copies of herself. Everyone who experience their transformation is horrified of what's happening. Sick stuff. It's supposed to be erotic but it came out as very creepy to me.
Endless hours spent on slop with AI writing, i have barely touched waifu's story in months
Any yurifics?
>>49955669I know exactly what you mean. It's sad to say that I'm actually having fun with ChatGPT than actually writing anything. Sometimes the AI would give me something that makes no sense and gets a chuckle out of me.
>>49955669>>49955677I don't know about you guys but I got into the habit of writing a paragraph or so and feeding it into a bot to critique and refine.
>>49955681That sounds very efficient and all but I can't trust AI with solving anything. I was in a trade school and the instructor immediately knew who was using AI in their test because it consistently gave them the wrong answers.
>>49955677For me it's been Deepseek which has drained easily a few hundred hours of my time by now. Specially since i've gotten to the rhytm of before bed spending one or two+ hours every night just making waifu stories with the both>>49955681Personally i usually write the scaffolding of sorts for the story, then i let the bot write out and flesh out the full short story. Usually just a small 3-5k words stories depicting a specific moment in a grander story
>>49955604That should be the default punishment to annoying people I dislike posting in my threads
>>49955686As a programmer, AI shines when you already master a topic, if tou are using it to solve something you aren't familiar with, then every mistake of the AI will go under your nose and will compound until it breaks. But if you already know the subject then you can dust off the occasional minor issue and you can just keep using it as a helper, akin to a junior dev by your side who you task to google and figure out menial matters while you worry about the larger structure of the code
>>49955693>That should be the default punishment to annoying peopleThat's actually what motivated her to transform people into her. She did it to save her kingdom, Hishido, and the rest of the world.
>>49955686I don't put anything the AI spits out into the final document. I use it like a developmental editor-beta reader, because one of the few things it's actually good at is combing through text and giving an analysis of it, for instance, when the text is too heavy on dialogue, when it slows down with too generous descriptions and so on. It also does a not entirely terrible job of telling me what the reader is likely to think and can feign a surface level knowledge in any topic I want to push it for... more advanced ones and the AI tends to get things wildly wrong.The big problem is that I write smut and I have to aggressively sanitise what I show the AI. Sadly.>>49955692I tried that, and while the AI can generate text fast, for me to like it I have to do so much editing and revising it turns out to be less work to just do it myself and make the bot be a low level editor instead.
>>49955705Different perspectives then, i usually lay out a series of points almost the AI has to touch on, how the scene starts, some of hte points the conversations or actions lead to, whatever extra descriptions or other on top stuff to add. And the AI usually does a good job at following what i had in mind, some times i do have to add more descriptions or be more specific of the tone of a scene since for example Deepseek likes to be kind of dramatic. But otherwise i really enjoy how specially the reasoner model is very varied with it's output, with each reroll it can paint a whole different scene that still more or less shows the same feeling or sentiment to it.But as i said if one wants a more stable and more defined image of what to write then that advantage in my eyes can be seen as a disadvantage instead.Also for sanitization usually using the API works to get around all of that, i've also had the AI write a lot of very explicit smut even if officially on their page they forbid anything lewd
>>49955705>I don't put anything the AI spits out into the final document. I use it like a developmental editor-beta reader, because one of the few things it's actually good at is combing through text and giving an analysis of itThat's pretty good. >The big problem is that I write smut and I have to aggressively sanitise what I show the AI. Sadly.Hate that they have to lobotomize it
Have you guys read any of the fanfics in the OP? What did you think of them?
>>49957793The protagonist in the destruction of gensokyo came of a pretty cringe. Apparently the OG author of that story was Japanese?
>>49949615AI? Who's that?>>49950750I have the pleasure to annonce that I managed to get things done :D I wrote 3 chapters. 2 boring ones (I'm bad at setting things up) and 1 packed with action enough to make Wakaliwood blush :D ESL alert though, some of the "English" could even make the devil cry. I also might lack in Touhou lore studies for that I apologise in advance. :D
>>49959243All right brother!!
>>49959243Are you going to post soon? Or anywhere?
>>49959243Hell yeah, brother! Pass the monster!
>>49958853Yeah. The story goes that the story is actually a translation from a Japanese blog that was deleted and the author was fortunate enough to save the story but, I find it hard to believe from what he says in the sequel.
>>49959243Where's the Link?
Bump
>>49959956>>49963090How do I use wattpad or any site like that? :D
>>49963665It's best to go in incognito mode or disable cookies. Wattpad would give you a pop-up that can block your entire screen. It's useful for navigating their website. That's how I read the first to fics on the OP.But if you are going to make an account on Wattpad then I don't know. Just sign up I guess.
My Headcannon is that in between the games taking place, Marisa activates her Raging Lesbian spell cards to recharge.
>>49959333>>49959956>>49960200>>49963090Here, brothers :D I managed to get my brain working! :D Chapter 4 in construction! (brain need to pull the shitposting trigger!)https://rentry.org/tpz3ief3
>>49963846That's canon and cute.
One of my favorite ideas is that Kogasa's umbrella is also a hidden sword. The idea that, since Kogasa is a pretty good blacksmith, she could secretly also be a pretty good swordswoman.
>>49964177I mean if she is making weapons, it makes sense for her to actually use them at some point. She must have a pretty healthy bod from all that physical labour
My Headcannon is that Marisa knows I exist in the outside world and want to have sex with me.
>>49964160You should try writing comedy. Assuming you are the one who made the spurdish shitposts in the OC thread.
>>49966404Lol
>>49966404Give me some vodka over 60% and wait for me to be in a horny mood and miracles can happen :D
>>49967659How many anons write stuff while drunk? Does it make you feel all artsy and help?
>>49968225Being drunk make me made this kind of stuff :Dwarning : it's very cringe

So after reading the destruction of gensokyo, I noticed that there were many opportunities to get rid of the Christian guy but he was given plot armor and Eiki protecting him. Whatever happened to Sumireko? She kept contact with Rinnosuke and suddenly just doesn't appear anymore? The author explained why she was absent in the beginning but I thought that was BS.
>>49972607I was wondering when Hearn and Renko was going to show up. At least Hearn show up at the end before disappearing after what happened to Yukari. It made me wonder what could've happened if Hearn and Renko did something about the guy who destroyed Gensokyo in the outside world.
>>49949615Unironically a big reason why I want to get into Touhou (harem) fanfic writing is for a good excuse to make a bunch of AI sloppa pics to go with it.
>>49975558I mentioned this before but one fun way I use AI is by having Touhou take place in other countries like Italy, Russia, and South America.
>>49977537And by South America I mean Argentina.
>>49949608Another one for the OP>https://novelpia.com/novel/276475>Stories big and small that occur while driving a train in Gensokyo, where Yo Ji-kyung, who was a sincere engineer, is kidnapped by Yukari and learns [the ability to handle the railroad].Korean webnovel slop.
>>49979064Man, I've been thinking about making a web novel. When I found out you don't have to be "good" at drawing, I think I can manage if I tried.
AI can be pretty repetitive when it comes to storytelling. When I was having fun with it, it always end the story in a similar way. The girls lived happily ever after and they become legends after some time has last. Every time it also has a part way they go into a secret underground passageway to a little secret underground room. Found it kind of funny.
Doesn't really matter where I set the story. It can be in Africa or In Russia. ChatGPT will end up giving me something it's already done.
Has anybody else had trouble with AI not given them exactly what they want. I'm retarded when if comes to "fine tuning" the AI on how exactly you want it to act.
>>49984083It's not something you can fully control. Thing about AI is that you can fine tune it until it gives you what want, but what people want are different, and there is a ceiling to the output produced by AI. If your expectations go beyond what can be given then no amount of fine tuning will fix that issue. People who say you just have to keep trying are people whose interests happen to align with what is possible with AI or are basically telling you you need to try one million times until inspiration hits (which, duh, of course it will statistically by that point). You're not exactly going to get the next literary masterpiece with ChatGPTWhat ails your creative troubles, anon?
Do you guys read japanese fics on Pixiv? What translator do you use for the raunchier ones that chatgpt doesn't like?
>>49987948I just use the translator on Brave. It's not perfect and I'm sure there are better ones.
>>49986839>What ails your creative troubles, anon?The fact that I always fantasize about writing a book but never actually do it. I shouldn't blame AI too much because it's my fault that I'm not writing or improving my drawing skills.
>>49955098Oh shoot, someone capped my thing
>>49988791I'll say it's pretty good. You beat me to the punch because I wanted to make a Touhou fanfic set in Italy however over time I've been playing that scenario in my head so many times that I've began making new characters. The only thing in common it has with Touhou is the young girl protagonist and mysticism. Instead of Shinto beliefs, I replaced it with the native Roman faith. Not in your face about it. Just characters based of the native religion and their philosophies and more of that frilly western style that ZUN had in the earlier years before almost exclusively making it Japanese.
I wished ZUN brought in more "western culture" into Touhou. We saw it in the western style dresses Remilia and others worn. I mean yeah there was the moon and references to America a couple of times as well Reisen's clothes but, more of what was shown in the earlier era would be great. It has such a different vibe compared to now.
Of course there are western style characters introduced like Marisa and Alice and the Prismriver sisters. Now that I think about it, there are a lot more western style characters than I remember. I think it's because they don't get enough spotlight.
>>49991384You're making me blush, anon. I really need to graduate to making actual stories/fics
Awww. Yeah me to but I love procrastinating and riding my motorcycle.
>>49993723I need to graduate from gooning to wrooting my fics. You think ZUN loves his characters so much that in the very last game he will give them all good endings?
>>49995376Lol, same but also working in it and my project car.
>>49997637Is the source of that from a game?
>>50001044No unfortunately. I just typed in Touhou and Good_end in Gel and found it. This one is for bad_end.
Has anyone else noticed that a lot of authors have been using AI to assist in their writing? I'm all against using it as like a tool assist and want to let my body do all the work but now I'm not so sure.
My Headcannon that the Internet and signal in Gensokyo can reach the outside world and that's where Kaguya posts wojaks she created herself online.
Do you think ZUN ever thought about putting more foreign characters in Gensokyo? Like mesoamerican, South American, and European pagan into the mix? We already have vampires with hats.
Wouldn't hurt to have more tanned characters like CIRNO.
How do I extend my writings?I have trouble getting past short story/greentext level length
>>50010046What's helps me get the creative juices flowing is taking inspiration from real life experiences and interactions. Also really paying attention to music lyrics and movies can help inspire. You can get inspired by a genre and shape it into something original. You should start with a draft first.
>>50010083Real life experiences? Here, on /jp/?Wrong board, wrong people.
>>50010087Lmao. I really hope it's not that bad. There has to be some anons that go outside and experience life instead of just going out for the necessities.
>>50010046Get drunk, lol.>>50010090This is just a meme, there is plenty of normies on /jp/.
>>50009815Just realized I forgot picrel
>>500100461. The best thing you can do is increase the scale. You don't have to make it a full-on adventure. But it should be large enough so that enough meaningful events can be had within your story to make it feel more "complete". It would be hard to make an epic about something mundane like taking a shower. It would be a lot easier to make a full story ranging from childhood to adulthood.2. Go deeper into the consequences (either past or future). They don't all have to be related to each other, but it's easier at times to think of it that way. If you can't or would rather not, then you can take the most common causes of your story's consequences and explore them in different scenarios.3. Reviewing your thought process for how you come up with story ideas could also help reveal what to change or improve on. You have a whole thread to try it
>>50017274What do you think about introducing characters late into the story? I think it's best to introduce characters gradually in the first few chapters and stop at the halfway point.
>>50019675Characters can be introduced whenever. What's important is that their inclusions are natural and of real value, which of course gets harder the later they arrive
>>50019675That depends. Late introductions can work well if the writer plans out their role early on and what they were up to before their introduction. That way, they feel like a natural part of the world instead of something the writer decided to slap on because they felt like it.
>>50019720I see, foreshadowing the character before their reveal.
>>50019763You could foreshadow. Or you could make it feel natural in other ways. Like, say, knowing a character like that could be introduced given pre-established patterns (about the setting, about minor characters you've already run into, about blank spots in given information, etc.)You're writing Touhou fics anyway so unless most of your cast is ocs I doubt you need to think that hard about it
>>50019793Lol you're right. If I foreshadowed a touhou character someone would've figured it out already.
>>50019707>which of course gets harder the later they arriveImagine introducing a character at the very last chapter?
You guys don't ERP with Touhou characters, right? I don't mean small talk I mean like long winded and detailed ERP posts that enough to be compiled into a novel, right? Nope. Can't be me.
>>50027369I do.
>>50027369Nah, its kinda gay.
Important headcanon: Marisa likes British psychedelic folk and Canterbury Scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxpZPrb7t2khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBu86KSzm7Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoXrRsGroGshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPBfx4_WT-whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnYDqv8-lJEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhsgSw8E7ek (American but their heart is in the right place)
>>50028429I can roll with it.
>>50028301>>50028180I've been roleplaying with someone who thankfully doesn't mince words.It's great to write fanfiction that will take a while to reach the bottom page. Yeah, they are pretty amateurish but it's nice to see that it's written for you.
>>50028429What do you think the others listen to?
>>50037671I would say Nue listen to Alt-Rock.
>>50037665Just to clarify, you don't actually do it on 4chan, do you?
>>50039243I think maybe twice recently on this site but rarely.
>>50039151Meiling listens to state approved Chinese propaganda.
>>49949608has any1 noticed that Reimu is noticeably older (like older sister-ish) than Marisa or am I tripping?sorru for being reimari deluded
>>50004679geg
>>50049437You're not wrong I see it too.
>>50049437ZUN said that Reimu is noticeably taller than Marisa, so much so that "you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance that they have similar ages". The manga and most fanart do tend to make Reimu taller.
>>50049437Marisa in canonically tiny in universe. I sometimes see Reimu as big sister figure to an immature Marisa.
Okay I have to ask. Who is the horniest among hus?
>>50053028Reisen because she is a rabbit. That goes for all the animal-hous because hormones. Imagine the primal sex with Shou.
>>50054229>That goes for all animal-hous because hormonesG-Genji, no! I don't want to!!!
browsing art of Okuu and came across a relationship chartWhy is Youyouko going to eat her? is it solely because she is a fatass or did I miss somethinghttps://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/404465
>>50054531yeah son she just fat
>>50054531The gag is that she eats anything. Okuu looks like roasted crow to her and she will devour her. In one gulp, effortlessly, and Youmu would have to help her get back home.
Mystia Loreleis name is a reference to the Cocteau Twins songwww.youtube.com/watch?v=o7tcFKakZTA
>>50055800Cool
>>50054248Genji. Get the fuck out of the pond behind the shrine and DO SOMETHING ALREADY
Is there any fanfiction featuring Genji? I know that many PC-98 characters are getting more love recently but Genji is hardly ever brought up.
>>50039151Kogasa probably listens to industrial metal.
Any anons got fanfic ideas they want to share?
>>50069655I'm mean I had one but it's gone.
This post was made in /wsg/. I wanted to share it.Philosophical question:Do you think in most fan-works, that the writersget Reimu's character wrong?I saw almost all the fan-anime and i swear thewriters just write Reimu like an anime josei.not counting that modern amateurs re-writeeverything for their fiat anyway....
>>50074333The response to it.Everyone makes their own interpretation of each character. Even ZUN himself is inconsistent.Nitori for example went from being a shy person who had trouble interacting with others, cared about people's safety and was a fair loser who ordered her underlings to let the heroine pass through, to the complete polar opposite around the time of Hopeless Masquerade where she is now confidence incarnate, is an abusive boss to her employees, screws over her employers with one-sided contracts, insults anyone she meets and genuinely thinks she's a superior being to everyone in Gensokyo.Regarding Reimu, honestly people have plenty of official material to "justify" their versions. One manga chapter can have Reimu be extra grumpy towards youkai, and another she will be a literal saint and save Mizuchi even when Yukari wants her to be killed off for good and everyone else wants her to be banished to the underground hell until she dissipates from existence. One chapter will have Reimu being lazy and another will have her fully committed to her job. One game will have Reimu be confused and angry about the incident while in another game she'll be all cool, self-aware and carefree.
>>50069655Make one where they all smoke weed. Like Kaguya
>>50069655Yes, I, a human villager, meet Yuugi during the events of Hopeless Masquerade while she's in the villager.Through a number of following encounters we fall in love, but due to Reimu and the rules surrounding the human village, various events happen, resulting in Mamizou and Suika helping me fake my death.Reimu only finds out I'm alive by the time I'm in the underground and marrying Yuugi.
>>50078437>she's in the villager.Is this a Futa/M fanfic?
>>50078439considering anon finds her WHILE she's in the villager, it might be NTR as well
>>50078439>>she's in the villager.>she's in the village.Forgive me anon-sama. Yuugi visited the village during the events of HM for some reason, she's in the background.
>>50069655I've had one in my head for years. But I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.The main character is a ex-prophet who was banished to Gensokyo for failing to uphold a promise to his god. He travels the region to find a way back, but soon learns that those who can help him are few and far in between.In time, Yukari comes to learn about his arrival and takes a cryptic interest in him. She tells him that Gensokyo hasn't seen new outsiders for the last 6 years. Magic and faith have all nearly declined into reserves. With the land itself turning into something much simpler, the people's way of life has changed with it. But why it all began remains a mystery.In the hopes of solving it, she ends up pointing him to Reimu. Having overheard that he wants a way out, who better to help than the one who manages the separation of their worlds? The catch is that Reimu has been hard to find lately. "It's always hard to tell what's going on her. So you'll need to be patient."Most of the details after I've yet to figure out. But what I have planned is this:>It turns out the Hakurei have a forbidden spell type>Originally it was healing magic, used to restore the "purest essence" of all life>The first person to ever learn and use this became the first Hakurei Shrine Maiden>The generations soon after that were forced to learn it would instead get curse magic>Given the risk of failing was so high, attempting the spell became forbidden>Because it was all so early in history, no one ever managed to figure out what its secrets actually were>Fast forward to the present, Reimu is trying to learn how to use the spell to restore magic to Gensokyo and defeat the one behind the incident>As it turns out, she learns later that the secret to learning that magic is understanding what the "purest essence of life" is>The whole journey is a story of her learning to love
Was feeling sort-of stuck on a story beat but I think I got it figured out so I'm feeling more inspired.I'll probably do some more key-art before writing everything out though, might wanna draw Yuuka next.Yuuka is hard to write though... She has so little energy throughout the series it's hard to get her doing anything in a story
>>50079579Whatcha writing about?
>>50079488That's sweet
>>50079579What's programs do you use for art?
>>50083562Thanks I spent forever coming up with it and also reconstructing a bit of my inspirations (which also took forever)
>>50083911What were your inspirations? I get mine my traveling.
>>50083567Clip, I'm playing around with pixel brush packs now. They're fun.>>50080516I'm thinking of making a fan-game where Gensokyo is turned into a completely different climate (seemingly overnight, from the perspective of the heroines). I want to bring out different characters and explore how they react to the new environment. Like some gain, others have to change and adapt, others simply lose or suffer in the new environment...I was kinda stuck on the HOW of the whole thing but I think I got it figured out in a satisfying way - now all that's left to do is to make it lol
>>50083938Mine come from world mythology, Zelda, Studio Ghibli, and of course some real life experiences. What I want to capture most is the idea that the most important developments happen over time naturally without us realizing it. But to do this for a story with intended themes and outcomes is really, really hard, because it means no important outcome can be traced to a single cause. So making up reasons for things to happen is annoying with how minimalist I have to be about it
>>50084489If and when you make progress on that fangame do let us know. The whole premise sounds extremely cool. Some of the Touhou fangames I love most also happen to be the ones that really sell you an angle on how Gensokyo *feels* to live through. And this sounds like it has some of the best potential to do that.Also love your aesthetic. It gives me high hopes that you care that much about having the right delivery, and the kind of feel you want the experience to have. Makes me all the more excited to see it come to lifeWould you happen to have any more story details?
>>50078437I wanna hear more about this one. This sounds really cute
>>50037671Despite black metal and death metal being the more "brutal" genres, I get the impression Yuugi would prefer the energy and themes of power metal more.
>>50063222He reincarnated into a more marketable cute girl: Aunn.
>>50078437Is a human marrying a youkai that taboo?
