Variety?

Post » Wed Nov 17, 2010 3:02 pm

Some of you may have noticed that I left this side of the forum maybe a few months ago, but I left because I had very little time on my hands. Well, I was thinking about coming back but I am very disappointed with the Fallout Fan Fiction's progress. Why? Because there is none. I am seeing the exact same threads that were here when I left. Which leads me to the topic title - variety. There is little to no variety anymore, no new roleplays, not much new fanfics, nothing. I just want to ask why there's been nothing going on down here? I would have imagined that there'd be something new. And if there's something going on that isn't up yet(example: a work in progress) I'd like to hear about it. Anything?

There's more variety if there's more people. There's really not that many people on here. We all love to see more Rp's and fanfics, but for the people that have created fanfics and for the people that have created or are in RP's all ready, that's enough. That can't make new fanfics because they are ready have one, they can't make new Rp's because they either made one, or are too busy with the ones they have.

So if more people show up, then will get more topic and variety. You could help by making a new Rp or fanfic. If you want new topics, were going to need new people. I myself have several ideas for Rp's but I'm reluctant to post because of how few people are on. But I guess it could help bring in people, so I'll work on them. But beyond that there's nothing I can do about it. I'm not going to stop my fanfic for a new one for the sake of variety.

Edit: I guess I'll post my RP ideas up here for now.

Yeah, I understand. I'd post a topic myself but as of now I'm really braindead and I have no good ideas running through my head. I should actually get involved in some roleplays bouncing around, see if I can't be entered in the middle of one.

Here's some of my Rp ideas.

The Night

Radiation have caused many people die or become ghoul like, but on some the cancer it causes makes the people become "allergic" to daylight. The roam the streets at night, kept out of towns because of the electricity. People hunt them like animals so they are striking back, their goal is to shut down the generator that
is supplying the town with electricity.

It could be either one sided or two( people that roam during the day or night)The goal would be to shut down the generator. Or in the case of the day people, to stop them from doing so, and further extending the grid.

Enslaved

Basically the idea for this one is that the Lone Wander inserted the F.E.V. virus and destroyed the citadel. The Enclave have gained control of the D.C. area and are enslaving the survivors to help them build the empire. Outside of the D.C area is a strong resistance, trying to bring the Enclave down.

I haven't finished this one but I was thinking that it started with people either captured or part of the resistance. First both side would make a plot to escape, and then once that is finished they meet up and start plotting to bring the enclave down.

The Game

I was thinking of bringing this back because it wouldn't take a lot of work for me to fix it and could be brought up quickly. It's when the Lone Wander destroys the Citadel, but because of the diminished Enclave force, Raiders and Slavers gain control. They convert into their base, building walls around the whole area, but after many years their influence strengthens and they spread out. They have pure water which brings in many recruits, and the gain control over the Capital Wasteland.

They have now converted their old base, originally a large part of the D.C ruins into an arena. Here people fight creatures and each other for the sake of amusemant. It's the most popular thing to gamble on and thus brings in a lot of money. The players are either forced to play or do so on their on free will. If you manage to win the Game, you can get your freedom or choose to play again, getting paid this time and having an advantage.

*I also have two more but their works in progress. One involves a ship and island and another involves a large scale war. So what do you think?

I see what you mean man, but there is literally nobody on this forum section anymore, it would be difficult to start a new Rp.

Nice ideas Yttrium! I liked The Game idea the best, and if you start an Rp then count me in!

Most people have seemed to stop writing their Fan Fics. I've been on this forum for nearly a year and I have never wrote a fan fiction before, I'm too afraid lol. Anyway, maybe people just want to relax for a bit and go on holiday.

The ideas aren't bad, Yttrium. As of now I'm feeling sort of more into horror-zombie-monster-scary type or something like that. I might actually start an RP along those lines, but for now I need to get some inspiration from Metro 2033.

Thanks Ian and Pariah, I'll try getting that one up soon then. In anything I guess the three of us could be in it. But maybe by making a new RP, people will be attracted.

Anyway, why don't you try making a fanfic? We could use some fresh topics around here, I would support you all the way.

Edit: I love zombies. I don't like Metro 2033. I do like horror though, so I'll be totally down for that.

Wait you mean make a fanfic with the idea I had? I'm no king at fanfics to be honest, but I could try.

The RP topic is up! I based this entirely off of Metro 2033 and Amnesia(it's just a demo but the game is scary as hell).

I myself have been creeping about these forums as a guest, reading many fanfics. After doing so I began to think of what survivors would do where I was from, Maine, and what dangers would await them. So sometime in this next week or so I may put the first chapter up for everyone to butcher :P

I just don't know how everyone would react to a snow filled wasteland... :wacko:

Alright, I will be ready to chop it up :)

I'm glad to see that more people are coming one now, forum is still a little dead though...

As for a snow filled wasteland, that would be interesting to say the least. Would the snow still be irradiated?

I would like to say it's original, but I've actually seen it done before. This most recent being The Anomaly of Regan by Galen.

Anyway I would look forward to it.

Well Pariah its coincidental that I came upon this little topic at the same time that not only am I in your RP, but I also have a fanfic going on (and a second in mind). So variety there will be.

All in good time my friend, all in good time... :evil:

They most successful I ever saw was A different land, but that was a long time ago. Right now the Warren is absolutely the most successful thing right now. You and Jonas are doing a great job hosting it, I've been keeping my eye on it. Great Job!
