Not sure how many of you read the frontpage news but here's a news by erupt on our new additions to our site:

"The old contest Art Gallery has closed and all artwork has been transfered to our new Fan Art Gallery. This gallery will be updated frequently with submissions from our large userbase of fans that draw PSO artwork. Some submissions were already added and many more will be so keep checking in on it.

Also this weekend expect our new Fan Fictions area to open up. This will be a large organized archive of fan fictions taken from our very large and active Fan Works forum. I'll be posting more information on it when it opens up this weekend so keep an eye out for it."

I hope that this will inspire our members to come up with new great stuff!!! Also, anything you would like to have possible featured in the fanarts and fanworks, post it right here in the fanworks forum and the members can vote to have it added!!

PSOW has been waiting eagerly some time to feature our members and our member's talents, don't let us down! Now the fanworks people have their own place to shine!

So get crackin!!

The sad thing is that I'm using any talent I have on the Do HUcasts 2 fic.

This is a great idea, and I can't wait to see it take off. Thanks Erupt!

don't worry raven, some current ongoing fanfics will be added to the fanfic gallery

Indeed! The great stuff that's been contributed deserves to be recognized, and hopefully it'll encourage the existing fellow residents of Fanworks, as well as new members, to continue contributing high quality fanfics and art. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

As LollipopLolita mentioned before, the Fanworks forum will still be alive and well, open for comments or suggestions on the various works to be featured on the gallery/library, and a place to post works to be considered for them.

However, there is no need to worry about being some kind of uber-artist or Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, that one person would just choose to put in the galleries. It doesn't work that way.

Actually, it's totally up to the members to decide what they like to be put into the gallery/library. There will soon be running poll threads set up so members can vote on which work would get put in the gallery next.

So, it doesn't have to be all fancy-schmancy cg, use big SAT-vocab words or whatnot...just do your best, and the members will answer. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

So put your best stuff out there for the world to enjoy! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

What about character backstories? would that be considered fanfic?

M_BlackHawk
Oct 4, 2002, 01:11 PM
It should, Raven. I posted a fanfic dealing with some backstory with my HUmar. It was called "Shadows of the Past". It's been turned into its own page at http://www.geocities.com/wkscott38632. This fic was graciously illustrated by Hikosaka.

I've also posted my characters' bios at this address, and this is only a preliminary site for the BlackHawk family. It's at http://m-blackhawk.tripod.com/

My other fanfics such as Valentine's Day W/ The BlackHawks (http://m-blackhawk.tripod.com/Val-Day/), and Maya's New Beginning (http://m-blackhawk.tripod.com/Maya/) are also posted on my own webspace.

KodiaX987 has put up "The Five Facets of My Personality" on his own site, too, including the second group fic Hiko, Moo2u, BWS-1 and I did called "Reunions". I'd post a link, but it's in Kodi's sig, anyway.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new fanfic gallery, and Fanart gallery, too. That reminds me to get back to work on "Steel Spirit"....damn writer's block.

Wow, this kicks ass.

Maybe i should go back and revise Do Hucast's 1 after 2 is finished. I know theres a couple of flaws in it that could be sorted out.

Well, in the broadest sense, a fanfic is any story written based on the characters or ideas in the game.

Basically, if it has a storyline, it's a fanfic. If it doesn't (like a standard character bio/description), then it isn't.

In any case, people vote on what goes in the galleries and what doesn't, so submit what you can, and see what happens. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Erupt and I have been planning and working on this for a long time. So we'd like to see the members take advantage of this new feature in PSOW and fill the galleries up!

This way PSOW will have the best (and if not the only) member based fanworks gallery! Don't let us down!

I'm really happy to hear the positive feedback on this addition, this makes me wanna go out and archive the stories myself heh.

You guys have a community of your own almost, there's many of you that seldom even go outside this particular forum. And your community deserves some recognition from the site and I feel this accomplishes that.

I have a pounding headache at the moment, I will see if I can work on it with hikosaka to help get this up for you guys to start posting feedback on anything you might like added to it.

Again this is just one of many addons that I hope shows you that what the users want for PSOW is what me and the rest of the staff need to work on.

Ya but siriously, I'll try to actually start doing more PSO related fanart. I'm in the mood now anyway! ^_^

Reno
Oct 6, 2002, 05:43 PM
Woohoo, finally ^_^...
It had really died down around here since the likes of Lok and Rubius stopped posting... hopefully the addition of gallery will give posting Fan Art a well needed boost, and we'll start seeing Art being posted on a frequent basis again ^_^

Taken from what I posted on the front page.


We have now opened our Fan Fictions Archive. Some stories were added to start and many more will be added. All the stories were taken from our very own Fan Works forum. Thank Hikosaka your Fan Works moderator for getting these stories added.

If you enjoy the stories we encourage you to visit our Fan Works forum and see the many others being worked on, post one of your own as well? More stories will be selected in the future from the Fan Works forum and our archive should become grand.

I hope this will be a fruitful addition to the community and any comments or suggestions please do share with me.

Oh and I just added sorting for sorting the stories by Title, Author, Date added.

Thanks, eRUPT. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Rules for voting on new additions to the galleries will be forthcoming. Look for them soon. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Bug report! =P

1) Shrike Apocalypse Schedule Unexpectable is truncated. Maybe separating the fic in two pages would fix it?
2) I submit (to complete the trilogy) RAcaseal Terminal, the 3rd and last episode of Shrike Apocalypse. http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=11194&forum=12&6

Yikes...thanks for pointing that out. I'll see what can be done for that.

I'm not far from submitting and posting the first fanfic I ever wrote, but never posted. It tells the story of how Mike and Lara BlackHawk first met, and how their relationship started. It should be a fun read, and NO LEMON MATERIAL. I suck at writing lemons.

Anyway, be on the lookout for this next fic, which precedes everything I've written prior. Why do I feel like George Lucas? Telling the backstory AFTER the middle and end of the actual storyline?

LOL! No joke, Kodi. Anyway, the first chapter is submitted for everyone's approval. It's called "The Beginning of a Hunter Dynasty". Anyway, I'll let you all have a look at my very first work, which I thought was very cheesy. However, that's another story. If there's a favorable response, I'll be posting more chapters to this fic.

Please take the time to post these properly on the forum, Gryph. It'll give a chance for the members to see and comment on your work, as well as give a sort of advertising for when it's time to vote.

It's only to your benefit. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Well, i know it got in by default, but it really cheered me up Yesterday to see 'Do Hucasts' in the fan fiction section.

Really great when your feeling like shit and the doctor doesnt have a clue.

Thanks anyway (even if it was in there by default)

Are there specific criteria for wallpapers that we have to respect? Or can I just post it here as a fanart and see if people wants to vote it to be included in the wallpapers? Or are the members only allowed to have fanarts and fanfic to be voted for? Because I did a wallpaper out of the fanart I was thinking to post here but it turns out to be somewhat completly different looking then the original fanart. But still I'd like to post the sketch I wanted to post in the fanart too, since it's the original version and it might interest people to see it.

Hikosaka
Oct 13, 2002, 09:42 PM
There will be no voting after all, so just feel free to post the fanart/wallpaper. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Suggestions for the fanfic gallery:

Listings per fic instead of thread found. I did write Shrike Apocalypse and the Deathmatches on separate threads, but each really is one big fic; I think it would be better to have SA for example be one three-part fic instead of three separate fics. >.>

A way to list fics by author. Nifty if you are looking for all the works of one particular PSOWer. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Accept finished fics only (I don't know if that's already a policy but anyways) As this guy at phantasy-star.net once said: "Okay, so you have an idea for a huge 24-chapter fic about life on Mota... But after the first two pages you run out of steam. When the hell are you gonna finish that story now?"

A way for fic authors to be able to edit their own fics when posted; to fix typos, or change the URL of a picture within the fic, etc. Fic authors could also add a small summary to their fics, to give people an idea of what it's about.

Well, that's about it. ^.^; *runs away*

Hikosaka
Oct 23, 2002, 04:15 PM
Thanks for the suggestions. ^_^

Hmm, the listing by author is pretty easy. All you need to do it click 'Author' on top of the list, and it'll sort the fics alphabetized by author.

For the policy on finished fics, I think that's what I'm going to aim for now on...it's just that there are a lot of good fics that just never got finished for one reason or another. Though I agree...it gets a little annoying reading something that does not have a conclusion. >_>;

As for combining fics into one, or corrections in general, just send a PM my way, and I'll fix it the best way I can. Not sure how the direct editing of fics by author might work out...I'll do some consulting on this..

Nov 4, 2002, 05:12 PM
I've got those sketches lying around somewhere...I think it's time I got around to coloring them. Now only if I can schedule three hour blocks on the good computer, hmmm. >_>;

Also, to future posters: Let's get this thread back on track and use it only to ask questions/give suggestions about the Fanworks forum.

If you want to post art/fanfics make a new topic so people can actually see it. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

It's not a Buster sword, although the Buster sword is like one of the swords I had Hiko base it on. It's based on a Buster sword like weapon in PSO called the Zanba. To be fair, I did ask Hiko to make it like the B/sword because I've always loved swords like it.

BTW: I do love FF7, although this is not the thread to discuss that.

Eh... question. This seems to be the topic to put it in, so...

Why the heck is Stabbed In The Back on the Fan Works section on the front page?

I don't mind it, actually. I'm honored that my work would be considered for publication. It's just... if we're supposed to submit our work, then how did my story get there? I don't remember submitting it! O_o

LollipopLolita
Dec 5, 2002, 05:44 PM
it's there because you're the spotlight fanfic of the week ^_^ and good fanfics are recognized and added by hiko into the fanfic collection. congrats

Dec 30, 2002, 01:31 PM
Could we have a rating system for the Fanart and Fanfics? Like say a registered user sees a pic/fic, he/she likes it, he/she rates it on a scale of 1-5, and then the scores are added to eachother and an average is found.

LollipopLolita
Feb 8, 2003, 03:29 AM
yea davion, that was an idea that erupt and i have discussed. right now we'll add that to the list, but our main priority is getting all these guides up for the game.

also the fanart gallery is being updated as soon as i see any fanart around here that just screams: "put me in there!"

but come on people, let's see more of them!
