This is my Writeblr!If you have a Scribophile, and you want me to critique something of yours, go ahead and message me/shoot me an ask! I'd love to check it out! ((Icon made by aroaes))
Jotaro never thought his daughter would have to be involved in the stand-user lifestyle, even if her dads so deeply are. When she starts talking about strangely familiar imaginary friends, however, he and Noriaki start to take things a bit more seriously as they wonder just what Jolyne's stand and her life with it will look like.
How do you prepare for a stand?
Jotaro and Kakyoin are sucked out of their time and spat back into a different one, forcing a young Joseph and Caesar to take their place.
How will the crusader's fair without two of their most powerful stands?
How will the world fair without two of their remaining Hamon warriors?
hello! my apologies for sending this so late on the due date for the contest, but here's my entry for the writing category in the 800 kudos contest for timely adventure. sent this in tumblr dms too but i'm not sure if you saw ;; hope you enjoy it!
Timely Adventure has managed to reach 800 Kudos! Due to the rise in popularity- I decided to hold another contest!
This one will again have two categories (art and writing) (Details below)
You can enter either contest or even both of them- but you can only enter each one time.
You must have read Timely Adventure (obviously!!!!)
The deadline is March 1, 2020
For the Art Contest:
Choose your favorite scene from Timely Adventure and illustrate it- was it Kakyoin and Jotaro training under Lisa Lisa? Joseph having to fight his younger self? You decide!
Prizes:
First Place- a full illustration of 1-2 character(s) in my painting style OR a short comic in my stencil style
Second Place- a full illustration of 1-2 character(s) in my stencil style OR a sketch comic
Third Place- a sketch of anything you’d like (max 5 subjects)
((Will not draw: NSFW, excessive gore (missing limbs or whatever is fine), unsafe pairings.))
Rules:
Must be a scene from Timely Adventure
Can be any medium
Pictures of tradition work are absolutely fine- just make sure I can see the whole thing!!
For the Writing Contest:
Write your own time swap fic! It can be as long as you want with a MINIMUM of 500 words- Jonathan meeting an aged Erina when he swaps places with young Joseph??? Josuke or Jolyne put in either of their dads’ shoes? Giorno facing off with his estranged father!?!?! The choices are yours and yours alone!
Prizes:
First Place- 10,000 word fic where you pick the premise OR 5,000 word fic where you pick the premise + a colored sketch to match
Second Place- 5,000 word fic where you pick the premise OR a 2,000 word fic where you pick the premise + a shaded sketch to match
Third Place- 2,000 word fic where you pick the premise
((Will Not Write: NSFW or any fic with unsafe pairings.))
Rules:
Must be a swap within Jojos (No Jotaro swapping places with a Danganronpa protag or something like that- they must swap with a Jojo character)
That being said- it can be any Jojo character- Okuyasu with part 3 Polnareff? Hermes with Suzie Q? Go crazy- aaaah- go stupid!!!
As said- a MINIMUM of 500 words, you can write way more if you want!
If your fic is not done by the deadline ( March 1, 2020 ) I will still accept it, as long as you have 2 chapters (I know sometimes projects can get away from you and you might want to take off with something! I don’t want to stifle you by making you fit within the parameters of this contest :D The reason why I chose 2 chapters is because 2 chapter to me says “I made the conscious decision to make this into a bigger project” rather than “I forgot the deadline and posted something half finished just to make it work.”)
If EITHER contest only has 3 entries by March 1, 2020 , I will extend the deadline by 10 days to March 11, 2020 . If one of them has only 3 entries by THAT deadline, I will cut the third place winner and there will only be a first and second. If there are only 2 entries, there will still be a first and second place winner.
I reserve the right to take away any prize and rework the winners if a winner makes me increasingly uncomfortable (this is especially the case for the writing winners.)
All of the entries (winning and otherwise) will be reblogged (if they’re posted on tumblr/not directly submitted to this blog in the first place) as they’re submitted, and at the end of the contest, will also be posted in the Timely Adventure chat on my discord. If you have a problem with the latter, please notify me when you submit your entry.
Entries can be submitted to the blog directly, through Tumblr DMs, posted into the Timely ADventure channel on my discord (link above), or sent to me on Discord directly.

10 reasons to wear low kudos counts as a badge of honor
You wrote a trope that isn’t popular in fandom right now and isn’t high on search lists—you’re expanding fresh content
You wrote an out-of-the-box characterization
You’re learning to be proud of your work without external validation, which is a hard process and every little time you do it improves you
You didn’t write smut and a lot of readers only click on fics with smut, while other readers are grateful for new G&T-rated fic
You did write smut, a specific kink many people avoid, but other readers are thrilled to find it
You tackled a difficult topic that might trigger readers and your warning tags rightfully reduce your readership but don’t diminish the importance of the work
You wrote gen fic or wlw or a rare pair and are boosting content in underserved areas
You wrote a longfic that takes readers longer to consume, which is an awesome accomplishment regardless
You had a story in you that needed to come out, and you put it into the world
Even if the story was awful, which it probably wasn’t, you took the risk of doing it anyway, which is how you get better every time you write, and that commitment and grit is 90% of the battle
Kudos are not a measure of merit, which can be hard to remember. Kudos are affected by a million factors, only some of which involve merit. Kudos trickle in over time. Kudos are affected by fandom trends, and how many followers you have. Kudos are affected by who reblogs or recs your fic, which is pretty random itself. There’s no end to the factors that go into it.
Want thousands of kudos? Go to high-traffic fandoms, pick the most popular ship, find the most popular tropes, and write a good fic in that trope. Put in the work of making friends with big names and hope they reblog your stuff. Turn fandom into a transactional experience if that’s what you want. But is that following your muse? Is that what will make you happy? Maybe; if so you’re lucky. But if not, realize that choosing to follow your muse even though it takes you elsewhere is an incredible thing, and the lower kudos counts that result are not evidence of lack of quality or reader hatred.
Almost all of my fics have fewer than 300 kudos. A handful of longer ones have more, and my top kudosed fic is a silly short coauthored 8th year that is not at all what I’d consider my best fic. My longest fic (105k, took me two months of full-time writing) has only 200 kudos. I’m still super proud of it and feel like it had a great reception and amazing comments. I have a bunch of shorter fics with under 100 kudos.
I think there’s a misunderstanding that it’s expected to get a high kudos count, and in my experience that’s just not true, so I don’t really understand why we talk about it that way. Let’s change the conversation, and focus instead on our pride in our writing and our love for other fics, and move away from using kudos counts as a proxy for worth. You’ll never feel satisfied if you’re turning to ao3 stats for your self-validation.

When Jotaro wakes up, everyone is fine, but everything’s just a little off.
I’m back with more advice! On today’s episode: fights. How to write them? How to plan them?
I’m here to help! Wether your a plotter, a pantser or somewhere in between, here are three things you should establish before writing a fight scene.
1) Who wins?
It seems like fairly obvious advice, but when I was a much younger writer, time after time, I’d go into a fight scene with no plan regarding the outcome. Whenever I felt like the fight was over, I’d end it, and whoever came out on top was the winner, regardless of how it made sense in the narrative.
Establishing a winner from the beginning allows you to build the fight up in a trajectory that makes sense. Once you know who wins, you can better choreograph the scene to keep readers guessing.
2) What are the stakes?
Once you know who wins, you must then decide what the stakes of the fight are. What happens if they lose? If they win? What is gained or lost? This can vary wildly, depending on what genre you’re in. Sci-fi and fantasy will commonly have world-ending stakes a la Avengers: Infinity War. Romance or contemporary stories are more on the ‘suspended from school’ end of the spectrum.
Either way, you must know what the fight accomplishes for the characters — good or bad. Not only must you know, but you must make sure it’s known for the reader too. If we don’t understand why the characters are fighting, the fight will be confusing and there will be little to no emotional tie.
3) What are the characters’ fighting styles?
This is more secondary information, but I think it’s important for at least the author to know. Ask yourself: Do my characters have previous fighting experience? Do they prefer one style to the other?
A boxer will fight differently from a wrestler. MMA and Karate do not look the same. If your characters have experience in any discipline, put some time towards researching it so you accurately portray it. Even non-combat sports can impact how someone fights.
If your characters have no fighting experience, they’re much more likely to be ‘scrappy.’ And no — someone with no combat background will not win against someone who does, unless they have untapped magic punching powers. Keep it realistic.
Once you’ve established these three things, you’re well on your way to writing a powerful fight that hooks readers in!
Also, it’s important to consider the terrain your characters are fighting in!
Is it snow? Your characters are gonna slip around a lot, maybe one will get caught off guard when their face is shoved into the ice. A character who fights dirty could throw dirt into their opponent’s eyes if they find themselves at a disadvantage and it happens to be around.
If they’re in a diner or heavily decorated area they’re going to have a large range of improve weapons (silverware, furniture, ripping stuff off of the walls- go nuts) than if the fight takes place in an open field.
Also, if a character knows an area better than their opponent (its their house, workplace, whatever-) then they might have a bit of an advantage. Someone without any fighting experience may NOT win against someone who’s trained, but they’ll probably have an easier time navigating a warehouse they work in and might be able to run away.
Also yeah, fighting styles are important, but so are your character’s temperaments. I’ve already hit on what an underhanded character, but a cowardly character might try to run or rely on their surroundings a bit more, a more analytical character might avoid hitting first- you get the picture.

Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and stick that selection in my ask/fan mail. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the character’s heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
