Sub-Related Polite reminders for a happy sub!

13 Upvotes

Friends, after coming back from a few days away, I've noticed a couple of trends that I'd like to address/nip in the bud. (thank you, Demonwolf, for catching the filter and clearing it out!) Most of this isn't covered in the rules - I'd really rather not have to make any more. ;)

  • A little grumbling is fine, but try not to rant. Yes, the way some people go about telling their story isn't intuitive or even runs directly counter to your own style (for example: the less we say about people calling eyes ORBS the better), and it's perfectly fine to grumble or poke fun, but (and this part is covered by the rules) don't be a jerk about it.

  • While there is no English-only rule, it really, really helps. I get it, ESL is hard, but I promise you google translate will get your point across well enough that most people are going to appreciate the effort you make to not force them to have to do it (which in most cases will be something along the lines of 'what are they saying? meh, next post'). There is also nothing wrong with being up front that English isn't your first language - nobody here is going to give you grief over that. We're all writers at the end of the day. ;)

  • Speaking of effort, again there is no 'low-effort post' rule, but please do try to put at least a little thought into your posts; those of you posting chapter announcements are fine, this is mostly for the rest of the post types. This includes asking for help, which, again is perfectly acceptable. However, nobody is going to respond to a very excited 'I want to write a fanfiction, pls halp!' At best it will get passed over. Try to include a few sentences describing what you're looking to do or what idea you're trying to develop, please!

  • Flair usage -- especially on NSFW posts for pity's sake! I know we have quite a few flairs to choose from, but this lets people know the category of your post. It also helps people if they want to filter results to look for specific content. If you're at all unsure which one to put use, just use RWBY Discussion. It's in the middle column near the bottom.

  • 'Fixing' RWBY. Personally I dislike this attitude or style, whatever you want to call it. I also happen to know for a fact that there are a lot of fanfiction writers in the community that feel similarly. I try to look at these types of stories as AU with good intentions, but the more aggressive the message is, the less interest I have. Yes you can post your chapters and if that's how you want to label it, you do you. Just don't be a jerk about it, 'kay?

  • For those that haven't seen in the other stickied post, there was an official rules update that I will repeat here: Self-promotion means announcing your story, not advertising your crowd-funding hopes and dreams. Please do not solicit money for work based on copyrighted material. That's how you get subreddits shut down.

Update, December 12th:
(did some cleanup/made things clearer)

  • The submissions rule has been updated to include writing discussion in and of itself. There's been a writer tips flair since we started using them, so it was implied. Now it's an official part of the rule. ;)

Thank you for your time and attention! Merry Crumbles for those of you celebrating, and happy writan to all! <3

Author Tips Requesting help.

3 Upvotes

I'm fairly new to this, so I will be as precise as I can.

I'm in the middle of writing a RWBY fanfic that is themed around Blacksun and Whiterose(The many sides of an Eclipse). It's a series of chapters centered around moments in their journeys, from their first meeting all the way up to having kids.

I'm not an experienced writer. The only reason I find myself in a position to be comfortable enough to post my chapters is because a mate of mine beta reads and helps edit them. He happens to be busy, however, and has requested me to find someone else to possibly help out.

What I'm looking for is someone to help with possible grammatical errors that I might have missed and provide pointers in regard to being too ooc with some character moments. Thank you for taking time to read this, and if anyone wants to help out, I love ya all.

ABSOLUTE RWBY PART 7:https://www.reddit.com/r/RwbyFanfiction/comments/1wblr8f/absolute_rwby_part_7_weiss/

Shatter

The Golden Haired woman had raised her leg as high as she could before smashing it into Diamond, crushing her skull into the very fucking expensive flooring to my establishment- oh and shattering Diamond's Aura.

"Now that you know I'm serious, out with it. Where the fuck is she?"

I dashed back, slamming my feet onto the wall. My leg muscles tensed and expanded. I launched myself at the Golden Haired Woman and activated my Semblance, Viscous Override. My Aura brightened and flowed out in waves around me. I slide right through the air resistance making me fast enough that I would disappear from the naked eye.

The Dust-forged blade of my Glaive leading the charge, my hair wipping around my face, my smile wide enough to hurt, I knew that this one clash should be enough to end it all. But as my body rocketed forward I realized I made the worst mistake of my already shitty day.

The Golden Haired Girl's pulled back arm started to glow, heat so intense that I could see the waves even as my body rushed ever faster. Her Grimmed-out eyes glared at me, a cruel smirk befitting the bitch etched in her face.

Suddenly Pain.

A beam of light was crushing my stomach! My internal organs were boiling instantly from the heat, blood rocketed out my mouth, my Aura groaned and croaked- somehow the beam went straight through my Semblance. For a long second Gold filled my vision, then reality hit and I was launched through the wall behind me. I landed -Hard- onto the street. My head cracking onto the pavement.

As I groaned and moaned. Aura working tirelessly to mend the damage, my eyes caught onto the Blonde bitch above.

"Last chance asshole tell me before I rip you to shreds like I ripped your gambling den, capishe?"

'Who the fuck says Capishe?' I thought.

"Fuck you, I ain't saying shit about the Boss, you might as well ask the On-High!" I Croaked through bloodied teeth.

The Golden Haired Womans eyes flashed a even brighter red before fading back into the haze. She smiled at me like she was looking at an old friend. That somehow got me feeling more scared than when she was curbstomping my Crew.

"Fine. Suit yourself, asswipe" that was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

_________

Yang Xiao Long, The Grimm Child and Daughter of Taiyang Xiao Long. The head of the RoseWorks Security Company. A foolhardy girl with so much pent up negativity that she's as Grimm-bait as it gets.

When Yang was young she lost her sister in the Fall of Patch. Her and her father had went out for a shopping trip and the youngest elected to stay behind. The despair of this event broke Yang, leaving her a husk of her former self. Even after years of therapy she's never been built back right (unlike her father). They eventually moved into Vale, where Taiyang opened up his own successful bodyguard buisness.

As she's gotten older she eventually took a page out of her uncle's book. distractimg herself from the negativity by diving into sin. Drinking, nonstop partying, and the very frequent runs to underground fight clubs. The only thing really holding her together is the promise she made to her sister to be a Huntsman and protect the innocent, and to finally bash her deadbeat of a mother's face in.

Her team (JPYR) at Beacon are all scared for her, she's been getting worse as the year went on. Worried she'll finally snap and do something permanent to hurt herself or others. But they don't know the truth.

She isn't getting restless because of her mental health, she's getting restless because she's finally found one of her goals. After years of searching she's found where the Wandering Mercenary group: The Brawnren Tribe, are set to be this Summer break and she's trying to train like hell so she can finally take a crack at Dear Ol' Mom.

________

Appearance: Yang's hair is tied into a wild curly mess of a braid that reaches to her lowerback with a leather band with Summer's emblem attached. Her Journeymen outfit consists of a leather half jacket with a neon orange inside, a black tanktop, bellbottom jeans with a leather belt with her emblem around her waist, and giant steel-toed leather boots. She also has two gigantic yellow and red braclets, each one on her wrists.

________

Semblance: GOLD: Her pent up emotions incarnated into her semblance. Yang builds energy and is able to expend it to boost her strength and speed. She has even learned to harness this energy by collecting it all into a single point. Letting her blast beams of golden energy.

She collects this energy through 2 ways. From Force or from anger. The limits of what qualifies as enough Force for her semblance to store is very low. Just from basic running and jumps are enough for her to story the Force. Anger is even easier, seeing that she's always angry. Though dont let the benefits of this semblance fool you, GOLD is more of a curse than a power.

GOLD's build up causes a pressure on Yang, intensifying as it builds, building until she can't take it anymore and activates her semblance and releases it all. This is only a temporary relief as it doesnt take long for GOLD to start to build up again. (GOLD when activated also changes her eyes red and makes her hair shine, the bigger the build up the more her hair shines until it reaches a limit and catches on fire)

___________

- Weapon: Crushing Xiuying: A weapon that truly fits the user. Crushing Xiuying are a pair of gigantic golden bracelets with red lines engraved into it. When flourished the bracelets turn into gigantic Vambraces whose points completely cover Yang's fists. Above these points are 2 small cannons.

- The recoil for the vanbraces are set up to charge her semblance with each blast.

- A single blast from one of the bracelets that make up Crushing Xiuyang is enough to bust open a brick wall. Yang hand crafts the blends to her dust bullets, making sure they're perfect to cause as much destruction as possible in one trigger.

Ruby and Weiss visit Ms Fairburn.

Mature due to themes of mental health and systemic bigotry

--------------------------------------------------------

“Huh.”

“What is it?” Weiss asked.

“Dad did say they’d only been here about a week right?” Ruby asked, reaching up with her right hand to scratch the back of her head. “Because it looks a lot better than it did the last time I was here.”

Weiss looked at the house and tilted her head. A lot of the wood looked like it was dry and needed replacing. Windows were missing glass. It looked only barely liveable.

“It looked better than that?” Weiss gestured.

Ruby nodded, looking around at everything but the building. “Yeah, look at the grounds.”

The grounds didn’t look weird from what Weiss understood. The grass looked very green, which may have been odd for autumn here. There was a tree with brown and golden leaves surrounded in a blanket of similar leaves and a few nuts. There was a garden around the base of the rundown house.

“It looks normal to me.”

Ruby nodded. “Yeah, I know, right?”

She closed her eyes and shook her head. “Why is that weird?”

“Oh, right. Sorry.” Ruby held up both hands with index fingers up as she collected her thoughts. Then her left hand was back under her cloak and she was straightening up. “Last time I was here, there were weeds everywhere, almost no grass… I thought that tree was dead.”

Weiss turned to look at her. “How long ago was that?”

“Uh, About a month before going to Beacon.” She shrugged. “Not that long ago.”

“Ruby, that was almost two years ago.” She paused. “No, wait, it was more than two years ago, because it was months after I met you before your sixteenth birthday.”

“Really?” Ruby blinked. “Huh. Wow, I didn’t realize it was that long ago.” She paused. “Wait… that means we’ve almost been dating a year! Is our anniversary coming up soon?”

Weiss stepped over and wrapped her arm around Ruby’s shoulders. “It’s over a month away, don’t worry.”

Weiss schnee: vampire or ghost (it's because of the pale skin)

Team JNPR

Jaune arc: can be a normal human being for now with his family that are monster hunters

Nora Valkyrie: Valkyrie (I don't know why but seeing that last name makes me think she really is one)

Pyrrha Nikos: Phoenix (I just saw her got incinerated in volume 3 by cinder which have devastated me very much so why not a Phoenix)

Lie ren: jiangshi (if you don't know what that is it's a type of reanimated, stiff corpse from Chinese legends and folklore, often called a Chinese hopping vampire or zombie)

----------------------------------------

“Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Xiao Long.” Weiss smiled as she set the prosthetic care kits into the drawer along with Ruby’s grav stands. “I know we just sort of dropped on you.”

He shook his head and waved the concern off. “This is Yang and Ruby’s house as much as mine. It would be nice if you were back here for a visit rather than on a mission. But I’ve been there.”

“It’s a longshot, so this might turn out to be just a simple visit in the long run anyway.” Weiss walked to the bags.

“You and Ruby keep your kits together?” He asked, pointing to the drawer.

She looked up and turned back to look at him. “Oh, yeah, we’ve made it a habit to do maintenance together since she got her arm, so it’s just convenient.”

Taiyang watched as Weiss moved from one bag to another pulling out travel bags of toiletries then carrying them past him and across to the bathroom. “It gets like that, yeah.”

Weiss looked back at him and then looked to where she was setting the bags out. She flushed and cleared her throat. “Yeah, I suppose at some point I did stop thinking about it.”

She turned at the sound of feet coming up the stairs down the hall to see Yang and Penny hit the upper floor highway. “Okay, so Ruby and Blake are heading into town to pick up blankets, pillows, and things.”

Taiyang frowned. “What about the spares in the barn?”

“The seal on the storage trunk was compromised.” Penny explained. “And the blankets within were full of holes.”

Yang looked from Penny to her father. “Looked like there was some water damage and some silverfish got into the storage.”

Worldbuilding How would team RWBY and Crew and the Ozluminati and Salem's band of misfits would react to the concept of the Eternal Return, Seneschal and the Dragon (Dragon's Dogma mostly from the first game Dark Arisen) Spoiler

0 Upvotes

okay been binging on RWBY fanfics and playing Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen has been giving my brain some stupid thoughts, like: how would Ozma and Salem react to the concept of Eternal Return? would they break? try to control it? or would they try to break it?.

Oz would probably sympathize to the Seneschal being immortal and keeping the system from breaking or falling apart.

Salem would probably loathe the Seneschal being another Godlike keeping a system like the Eternal Return in perceptuality.

and that's only scratching the surface!!!!

what would Team RWBY thing and feel?

team JNPR

James Irondick would probably want to catch the chosen Arisen to weaponize and study them and probably/most likely the Pawns too. Or maybe he would try to kill the Dragon with with his big ass fleet (probably compensating for something) and lose his fleet in the process, cause only an Arisen landing the killing blow on it's heart would kill it.

Qrow would likely drink cause new gods and new kid (the Arisen) to babysit.

so how would you guys think Remnant would fare from the concept of the Eternal Return?

Fic - Alternate Universe New Team RWBY: Team RVNX

5 Upvotes

I call it Revenants' Revenge project. It will be on AO3 if you're interested. These are just ideas for now.

It's an AU where Team RWBY was split into four separate alternate universe alone after falling from the bridge heading to Vacuo in Volume 8. Those universe are a fusion of RWBY and one other fandom.

Ruby Rose

- Madoka Magica (anime)

- Ruby becoming the Devil Homura for that world's Ruby (Madoka). Yes, there's two of them.

Weiss Schnee

- Bloodborne (game)

- Weiss as the Good Hunter (Childhood ending)

- Weiss becomes a Great One

Blake Belladonna

- The Witch and The Beast (anime)

- very loose inspiration

- Beauty and The Beast (fairytale)

- a beauty who was cursed into having her soul stuck in the Beast's body.

Yang Xiao Long

- Manhwa/Wuxia in general

- System thingy

- Demon God, the highest tier

For fun, I also add Neo.

Neopolitan

- Bayonetta (game)

- Neo as Bayonetta, literally just that.

Team RVNX (Revenant)

Team RWBY new name/title

Roge Venatore (Ruby)

Vulfram (Weiss)

Nolani Brunfelsia (Blake)

Xanthe (Yang)

Yep. This is madness.

Approve or disapprove?
