Title: CALLING ALL FANFIC WRITERS!
Post by: Princess_Peach_Toadstool on May 13, 2001, 01:03:57 PM
Well, after letting my fan fiction site sit around for almost year, I decided to update it and post three new stories. (the addy is http://www.angelfire.com/games2/peachpalace/fanfic.html), but I need some more stories. That's where you guys come in. If anybody has some mario fanfiction stories/poems/top tens/whatever that they wrote, send 'em in to fanficscribe@yahoo.com and I'll post them on my site. I have twelve stories so far, and when I get fifteen, I'll post a poll where people can vote on stories to be included in my "Mushroom masterpieces" hall of fame each month. Basically, there aren't any rules for length, you can have swearing, ***, violence, drugs, and toher weird stuff (but if there's a lot of it, I'll post a warning before your story). Any questions? Help me out guys, I want to make this site something great! Even if you don't have any fanfics to send in, visit the site. There's some pretty cool stuff there. Thanks!

LOL. I know some people get really irritated by it, especially by the fanfics that kill off the best characters or make up really annoying ones.

Heh, I used to run the fanfic section over at SMBHQ a long time ago. After reading so many of them, I also started to hate a majority of them... but there are some REALLY good ones, and some talented writers out there.

If you've ever read Lakitu's Defection, or any of Toasty's fanfics, you'll know what I'm getting at.

I too have dabbled in fanfics. I tend to try and fit my ideas safely into the regular storyline without affecting the games (or perhaps even writing the games). They should be light-hearted, and written in a Mario-ish style (cartoony, most fanfics lose this). I like well-written crossovers, but they have to be REALLY clever, and not just

"MaRio met SoniC and dey figt!!! MaRiO wInS!!!!!!!"
- and believer me, there are a lot of these...

I have a ton of ideas for fanfics of my own, but don't have the time to get them all down on paper (or WordPad). Shame really, here are some of my ideas:
- A novelisation of Mario games (I started a SMW one once, and I was really proud. I didn't get further than writing the first world, but I still filled 17 A4 pages font size 11 Arial on Microsoft Word, no mean feat).
- Mario, Generation 2: Set far in the future where Mario and Luigi, now decrepid pensioners, must locate and train the "new hero" before a series of deadly MechaKoopas take control of the world. I had some great ideas for this one.
- Mario vs. Sonic: Same idea, different outlook on things. Mobius is under threat from an interstellar being, and Sonic can't stop it. His only chance is to divert the alien monstrosity to another dimension, namely the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario must fight Sonic on a warp plain to protect his own planet.

Eh, probably had more too.

As is probably obvious from some of my posts, I love to write Mario theories.  Another passion of mine is writing the stories of the games, but I do so usually in comic form.  Right now, I have written and drawn adaptions of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2. I am working on my "epic," SMB3, right now (currently over 100 pages).  Next up are Super Mario Land and SML2 (summer projects).  I would someday love to get these up on the internet to share with you fellow Mario fanatics!

But, Pricess, if I do type any Mario fanfics, or adapt my comics' story lines into just text, I will send them in.

Roy Koopa, currently 100 pages is INSANE.
Either cut down the font size, divide it into parts like the never-to-be-finished Star Wars saga, or do something so you won't end up getting a Guiness Record for longest story.
(don't take it personally, I was just ranting there)

I would have posted something here earlier, but the Fungi Forums weren't working for me. So now it might be a little painful to hear this, but I just can't stand fan fiction. Like that one guy said, it's especially irritating when lame new characters come into the mix (I can't tell you how many Lemmy's Land fanfics I could have read if it weren't for Susan this and Nick that).

The only exception is that one time when I decided to get over it at least once, when I came upon a fan fiction on Star Fox. I remember it all too well (because I actually read it), and it took HOURS.
I also had an incident where I read a three-part Tiny Toons fan fiction, but I still stand that I hate fan fiction.

And on another unrelated note, I saw Princess Peach's website, and it says she likes horses. At least that's one thing we have in common, but nothing else.

penguinwizard, I'm not offended or anything, but let me clearify something.  It's not typed, and it's not 100 pages of text.  It's a comic!  That's mostly pictures.  It's split into six parts, about twenty pages each (give or take), and it really doesn't take that long to read.  I felt a longer story was the only way to do SMB3 justice.  If you ever get a chance to see it, I think you'll understand.

And for the record, you're right.  A 100 pages of text for a fanfic is too long.

Peach, that sig kind of reminds me of Gladiator
Title: Re: CALLING ALL FANFIC WRITERS!
Post by: Princess_Peach_Toadstool on May 19, 2001, 09:25:05 AM
OMG! I love Gladiator! It's my favorite movie.... actually my sig does sound like something Commodus would make people say to him so he could feel special. I can see why most of you guys would hate fanfiction. Judging by some of the ones I have in my inbox.... some are really good (if you go to the site, check out the Mysterious Scent, its from an ultra-talented guy called Mushroom scribe), but some of the ones I have and didn't post yet (and even one or two that is posted) would be kind of irritating. I basically have the site because I like to write fanfiction, and I think it self-indulgent to have a site solely dedicated to my work. You can love reading it, or hate reading it, but I like writing it, and that's all that matters to me.

Actually, it sound like the thing Maximus says after he takes off his mask and Commodus recognizes him. Anyway, FANFIC UPDATE! I have now added the "Mushroom Masterpieces" Section. Go on over to my site
http://www.angelfire.com/games2/peachpalace/fanfic.html
(yeah, I know, I need a redirect address!)
And vote. You can vote everyday until June 1. The three stories with the highest number of votes will get in the hall of fame, any submissions I got after yesterday aren't on the ballot, but they will be next month. Go on over and vote!

I write fanfiction. I got lotsa Starfox, and some Mario. One of em, is that There is a big flood, caused by Bowser (Dun ask why) and Mario gets carried away by the currents, and winds. Luigi,Toad,and Peach must find them. Meanwhile, Bowser is also trying to find Mario, but the opposite of what Toad,Luigi,and Peach are doing. (And you know what I mean) Well, i'm just starting it. But SFX fanfics, i'll give you a whole book of em....
Title: Re: CALLING ALL FANFIC WRITERS!
Post by: Princess_Peach_Toadstool on May 20, 2001, 05:43:43 PM
Starfox, huh? I was actually always planning on making the mario fanfiction site part of a larger network of video game fanfic sites, but I haven't yet because the only fanfics I've written so far are with Mario (although I do have a banjo-kazooie one and one of those "stupid crossovers" that I'm doing right now). But, I think I would make sites for fanfics from other games if I had some submissions. OK, if anybody has any other fanfics that aren't mario, send them in. Then I'll have an excuse to make more sites. Fanficscribe@yahoo.com

Yeah, they do have a pretty good site. If I weren't so lazy, I'd send my stuff to them. Anyway, while I'm here, I have two more updates for my site:
1) I got a redirect address http://zap.to/peachpalace
@) Since I wanted to make pages with fanfics from other games, I did. Go to http://www.angelfire.com/games2/peachpalace/tomb (ok, now that one needs a redirect address! LOL) and you'll see my Tomb Raider fanfiction page and my song "Baby Got Front" if anybody has any video game fanfics, Mario or otherwise, send them to fanficscribe@yahoo.com. I'm in the process of creating sites for Zelda, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong, and the obligatory Pokemon. Plus more when I get some good stories sent in.

Hey Peach, you should get your pages redirected to www.cjb.net. It's really easy to do and the addy is really short. Plus you can get other free stuff with it, and it's easiest for people to remember.

I might send some fanfics to your page...after I write some. Heh.

Yeah, it's what I use for my site. Their free guestbook, though, isn't all that great and lacks cool graphics that make people actually want to sign it. I'd recommend www.freetools.com for guestbooks, as well as polls and other stuff.


Anyway, I need more visitors to my page, and I figure if Deezer's letting Peach advertise her page, I can too. My sites pretty nifty and original and has the cjb web address and freetolls guestbook that I mentioned above. The url's:

Tell me what you think!

I'm a fanfic writer myself, but the other message board I write to is down.  At least it gives me time to think a while, and it also gives me time to look at other places too!  Thing is, I've got quite a few usernames and passwords to remember!  So I finally got around to putting them on MSWord for future reference.  Anyway, one thing I WILL NOT miss during the time the other message board is down, are the weirdos on the boards!  They drive me nuts!  I'm sure the rest of you guys had this happen to you, too.  All those weirdos that just wan't to goof of and spam a lot, or just post stupid replies to stuff like "The Never-Ending Fanfic" (which is one of the fanfics on the other message board, and I know you guys probably know that this means that anybody can continue where somebody left off).  Actually, somebody got kicked off for spamming or something like that.  I'm actually happy, because that user got REALLY anoying at times!  ^_^


Anyway, you're probably wanting to ask me "what is this 'other message board'?"  Well, here's how it goes. . .  *deep breathe*  When the Nintendo website was still at the original format, I liked to check out the fan sites from time to time, and one of the sites I liked to visit was this one.  I also liked to visit Super Mario 64 Central, which is now called Super Mario 128 Central (You guessed it!  It was this one!).  Anyway, when Nintendo changed the layout of the site, all the fan site links were gone, so I only had SM128C and this site under my favorites to visit.  After a while, I got started into the SM128C message boards and went there a lot of the time!  The boards were only closed once before this, but this time, I decided to look into other sites for message boards (Like this one and another, but don't ask about the other!  It'll only squeeze my brain even more!).  And THAT'S how I got here.  Whew!


In a nutshell, I just like to write fanfics.  I also like to read some, too, but only if they REALLY catch my attention.  Like what some of you put, I hate it when they put charaters in as the story goes, or do something to the existing characters (like Mario & the gang) that would be a real drag to the story.


Whew!  I feel like I just wrote a speech.  I think I'll shut up now. . .  ^_^';;

Yeah, we've had are share of really screwed up people on this board (even though I havn't been here that long). There was one guy who posted topics like "Mario is gay?" and "CALLING ALL LOSERS!". Heh heh. I responded to the "Mario is Gay?" one though, cuz I thought it was kinda funny, but I think Deezer deleted it.

Anyway, any and all fanfic writers and creative people in general should (PLEASE) come down to my new website. I know I've advertised it a few times but I still need more people to send in stuff. Basically, it's a website where you can submit ideas for games that you think your favorite developer should make. It's pretty cool, so come on down! (Whew...I don't know how many times I've said those lines) I've been updating the site like crazy too, so you can expect tons of new stuff if you've been here before. The url is:

www.vgameideas.cjb.net

You can either follow that URL or click my profile at the top of this message and click the 'My Homepage' link. Word up pplz!

Basically the only thing that makes a fanfic story qualify as a mario story 9at least on my site) is that it has at least one mario character in it, or.. failing that, it takes place in the mario univers(ie. sarasaland, mushroom kingdom, etc.) If you have any that you're unsure about, you may as well send them in. They'll most likely work.

Hey, speaking of fan-fic, please check out the one I've got going at the storyboards.  It's sort of a series--I update it periodically.  It's nowhere near being done as of now, but I plan to finish it up before school starts.  It's really just sort of a regular fan-fic, so please don't post additions to it.

Anyway, check it out and tell me what you think!  Seriously, I want lots of feedback on this!!  Thanks. :)

Billy- I read the first part of it, last week I think. its pretty good so far, keep up the good work :).

Valentina- I don't have enough stories to be picky at this point in time. I'll basically post anything unless it A:) has nothing to do with Mario B:) Is a ripoff of someone else's work or C:) Is just way to offensive (there are someon my site with ***, violence, swearing... even ones I wrote... but your story has to be REALLY bad for me to call it offensive). I want good stories, but I also want a lot of stories. So send in anything that you have.
