Pff Idk to be honest. I'm pretty focused on my book rn and not 100% sure where I wanna go with this story. Someone probably read it, but I did post the next chapter and took it down the next day cuz it was, I guess more mature than I usually post. So I don't know. It's also hard to know how many people read what I post and what their comfort level is. So, if anyone has suggestions or opinions on that it'd be helpful.

I saw that chapter and (as an aspiring writer myself) thought it was written rather well. the only thing I thought was a bit too intense was having a character 'killed off'. i think, alternatively, you could just have them hurt like the other person, they then go though some trauma because of the event and have them maybe shut out their 'other half', who's trying to work out how to help. you could try it with the other person too, with the family supporting them. I think the maturity of the 'action' scenes depends on how serious the subject is, and I think the idea of a story where Christians are being 'labelled' is an intriguing one. I love where your series has been going, and i hope you do write the rest at some point.
Sorry about the vagueness, i didn't want to reveal what happen in that chapter because 1, it's your story, and 2, it might upset/anger fans of those characters, and i wouldn't want to be the cause of an arguement.

That's alright. I've been thinking of writing some of my own Odyssey fanfiction ideas down myself.

I would actually disagree. Since it's a fanfic I believe that it can go to places that AIO would never go. AIO has killed of many characters

According to the writers, Karen was written specifically to be killed off, I suggested what I did because the character was a fan favourite (not one of my favourites, in case anyone thinks I was being biased in my suggestion), and I didn't want people accusing PennyBassett of deliberately killing off a fan favourite character.
i'm not against killing off charcters, I just didn't want to see any 'you killed them off because you don't like them' type comments against Penny. I was thinking if they were, for example, paralysed instead then it would still be serious enough to give the affect without any or as much back lash from fans of that character. I liked how the blackgaard and novocom sagas had someone (or rather, multiple people) in both die because of how intense they were.

penny, if i could bring up something. i find that personally, it's hard to transitions from where the show currently is, to where i want my story to be. it's unnerving because as fans we're used to the show being a specific way, and as writers we have ideas that deviate just a little bit.
your writing is really good. you've got such a bold approach, turning your ideas into a story with actual plot lines, it's awesome that you can deliever.
but basically, yeah, we're used to having the characters face everyday-ish things, and it seems odd to see such a change. i hope this helps in some way.

Okay, I think I understand what you're saying. To clarify, since there's so much slice of life in the show, having fanfiction that's more dramatic feels too different?

sort of. it's just a huge jump from where we are and what we're accustomed with, to the threat of global persecution in your story. or any major impact or effect. for example, i would be v happy if jason got married, and i drew up a story where he does (over the course of about a year) but writing it is difficult because i almost don't want to conflict with what they writers will give us in future episodes. at the same time, there are things i'd like to hear on the show. (give jason a wife, u cowards) - i'm joking.PennyBassett wrote:Okay, I think I understand what you're saying.

it could also be that aio is a show that has seemingly changed a ton, and not at all since its beginning (in style, at least.)
definitely keep writing! if this comes across as sounding too negative, i've failed. your stories have generally been more mature than what the writers give us, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing! we have had some mature episodes (and sagas, and those tend to be among the best.) you've also written the original characters well. however, if you don't have motivation, go on and take a break. sometimes it's good to just write what you're most motivated to. and i know firsthand, balancing both fanfic and original content is haaaard.
sorry for the rambling.

Yes it is! If it helps I'm kind of thinking of this story as an AU starting from a certain point in the show. Post Up in the Air I think. Thanks for the feedback! These help a lot!

Would ya even believe it? Finally, a new chapter. And it only took me like four months. I rewrote some of the one I posted and then erased. It doesn't give as much info as the last one, but it's longer than a normal chapter. Let me know what you guys think!
Chapter 15

wow, just finished reading it, and I like how its different, but the same as before at the same time. before I was like 'what! ok, wait what, oh no, wow, struth and oh no those poor guys'. this time was 'ok, o-kay, mm really?, wait what, oh cool, oh no here it comes, What the, you heartless maniac you shot HER!?, now that's really low, and 'whoa, that was intense'. It was like 'two sides to every story' where two different versions of an event have the same outcome ie, no one died, 'yet', and it still had the same effect on me as the first version. anyone else get that same feeling.

So I'm taking a quick pause to post this. (Don't worry, I WILL finish my current series) But a few of us decided to write the same story with our own interpretation of everything. Miah just posted hers, and even though we have very similar concepts in our fanfics, I promise I wrote this before reading hers.
Also, this will be interesting because I ended up taking a more diary-style approach. So yeah. That's about it. Enjoy!

So I just went through and read everything and caught up on all of the new chapters and oh. Mah. Gosh. Duuuuuude, it is so good!
Your really good at writing! I know I've said this before but your really amazing!
(Edit)
I think it made it more interesting with Katrina and all that. It worked out really well.
