Starfish35 May 19, 2018 Share May 19, 2018 HAHAHAHAHAHA.... Quote “What do you mean too late. Is she dead?” “No worse,” Diggle responds, his mouth twisting as if he was tasting something nasty on the tip of his tongue. “She claimed she was so overcome with grief from the death of her second daddy, she channeled that grief into acting. She’s moved to Earth 26 where she is a D grade actress playing a clumsy vigilante who has three facial expressions. I think she threatened someone with her sonic cry into giving her a job on Earth 26. She also does finance ads on the side.” “That is oddly specific knowledge about BS’s situation you have there,” Oliver stares at John and shudders. I'm dead. You have killed me. Good job! 9 Link to comment

statsgirl May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 You may have heard that every story can fit into one of these six basic stryty[es. Quote 1. Rags to riches – a steady rise from bad to good fortune 2. Riches to rags – a fall from good to bad, a tragedy 3. Icarus – a rise then a fall in fortune 4. Oedipus – a fall, a rise then a fall again 5. Cinderella – rise, fall, rise 6. Man in a hole – fall, rise Is there one that your favourite stories fall into? Link to comment
BkWurm1 May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I don't see how mysteries fit in the story types, not when it's for the thrill of the chase rather than a personal vendetta. But otherwise, I guess stick to 1,5 and 6 if I have a choice. I typically don't like unhappy endings in my fiction. 2 Link to comment
thegirlsleuth May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I like 5, with the caveat that the last rise might not mean the character is happy, but does know things are as they should be. 1 Link to comment
Mellowyellow May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 1, 5 and 6 for me. I do like the fall to be a big dramatic fall though but nothing disturbing. I love happy endings but I find a lot of stories tend to give me a happy ending but don't expand on it enough. It's like they don't have the time to show you the ending or describe it by the time the ending rolls around so it's a very short scene. I wish I could get more expanded happy endings. 2 Link to comment
KenyaJ May 29, 2018 Share May 29, 2018 I saw this linked on Twitter a little while ago, and when I found out it was from February, I couldn't believe I hadn't seen it before. Instead of working, I just want to spend all day perusing her Instagram. 7 Link to comment
Mellowyellow May 29, 2018 Share May 29, 2018 What drama is going on in the fic world? I have been trying to snoop on Twitter and it's only made me more confused. A few fic writers in fandom are very cross about something and I can't find the original tweet or what was said about fanfic that has upset everyone. Can someone enlighten me because I am nosey? 1 Link to comment

SmallScreenDiva May 30, 2018 Share May 30, 2018 I don't get why people are so upset. A lot of the tweets I saw were very general, it wasn't like specific writers were getting called out. It's like the stuff we post here: not a fan of weird nicknames (especially for Felicity, like Lis), not a fan of Smoaking Billionaires, etc. 4 Link to comment

Mellowyellow June 4, 2018 Share June 4, 2018 Ugh that finale has really done a number on me! I was telling Hub's about my inability to finish my story due to the bad feelings around 623 and his very unsympathetic response was: Just remember you are more Jessica Huang than tortured artist!

I like the balance of fear, anger at Oliver and love for him. I finally got around to reading this, and it was so good. It brought back all the anger I felt at Oliver after the finale, but that was mostly because it did a great job of depicting what I think Felicity and William should be feeling while Oliver's in prison. I'm conflicted because I don't want a long, drawn-out period of tension between the three of them when they're reunited, but at the same time, I'm going to feel terribly cheated if the writers sweep Oliver's actions under the rug and don't deal with the emotional fallout for Felicity and William. They love Oliver immensely, but they have every right to feel hurt and betrayed by him, because* like William says in the story, Oliver didn't have to go to prison, he chose to. And although I can appreciate his heroic, self-sacrificing, protective reasons for that, he completely upended Felicity and William's lives without giving them a say in the matter or even a head's up so they could prepare themselves for what was going to happen. Regardless of what he says or does to try to make it up to them, how can they trust him not to pull the rug out from under them again the next time he feels like its the right thing to do? *very mild spoiler based on something William says in the story. I don't think it will actually spoil anything, but I'd rather tag than not tag. Edited June 7, 2018 by KenyaJ 6 Link to comment
Mellowyellow June 15, 2018 Share June 15, 2018 Anyone read any nice fluffy AUs lately? I have S7 prediction fic fatigue! I just want a well written, non taxing AU. Have read everything by somewhereelse (I subscribe to her) so anything by anyone else would be great! On another note that was an Oliver/Barry fic tagged with Olicity and a Ray/Oliver fic that had some really eyebrow raising tags also listed under Olicity!!!!! Link to comment
KenyaJ June 18, 2018 Share June 18, 2018 thatmasquedgirl posted a new fic in the Monsters in the Mirror series, Breakfast at Nicole's. I always have to refresh my memory since the fics in this series aren't in chronological order, but IDC, because I love the series so much. However, the UST is killing me. Oliver and Felicity are so stupidly in love with each other and so in denial about the others' feelings. I need them to finally 'fess up to each other and bang each other for days. Actually, I don't even need them to talk about feelings; I just need them to bang each other for days. 2 Link to comment

Mellowyellow June 27, 2018 Share June 27, 2018 Guys!!!!! I need help! What would be a good career for a reformed "Ollie" who is basically an Oliver now minus all the angst, island and torture? So he no longer has his family or money or the family company. He also needs a job/business that can be easily moveable/re-established between states as he will be relocating at some point. I am thinking gardener? Landscaper? Do your gardeners make a lot of money in the States? Ours makes heaps of money so I thought it might be a good choice for Oliver especially since he is cute and will get lots of clients. Or tradie? I always feel like Felicity would be handier than him though. Link to comment
statsgirl June 27, 2018 Share June 27, 2018 Gardeners don't make a lot of money here unless they're in landscape design but I guess like tradesman they do okay. In a lot of fic he runs a gym or is a trainer in a gym Diggle runs or works for Diggle's security agency. I can't see Oliver as a trader, with the 4 colleges he dropped out of because nothing inspired him. Youth worker? With his physical abilities and management skills, I'd love to see him run a foundation that teaches sports to kids from the Glades to help with their self-esteem and schooling but that's Show Oliver. 1 Link to comment
Mellowyellow June 27, 2018 Share June 27, 2018 No fighting skills or abilities so can't do security. I think it's down to tradie or gardener! Maybe the handyman variation of a tradie since he's not qualified to be an electrician or plumber. Haha funny how I'm so fixated on this being realistic given the circumstances of the actual story ?
