/oc/ - Original Creation

I've been writing OC twincestslop for a couple years now. It's getting long but I thought I might as well share it

I read a few chapters and I’m hooked nona. It reminded me a lot of yana toboso’s twincest comic picrel. It also reminded me of a twincest/dadson story I was working on years ago until I realized I was just writing devil may cry fanfic with the serial numbers filed off kek!
You really have a way of writing mental illness nona, I was diagnosing the characters with personality disorders every chance I got. Also, don’t get mad but as much as I love twincest I kind of wanted Mark to get with the streamer bf kek!

>>1342
Thank you so much for giving it a read nona! I'm very curious to see what you diagnosed them with, I wonder if it matches what I intended
Also it's a tragedy you stopped working on that twincest/dadson story, I would've loved to read it. Sometimes I write crackfic about my twin OCs having a threesome with their dad but through the lens of another character with a dadson fixation meeting them and fantasizing about it kek

Allendale sat beside the box and ran his hands back through his hair. He wanted a bright shock of tea, or the bitter burn of whiskey, or perhaps just to have never opened the door at all.

"Can't come to the door tonight," he muttered to himself, feeling quite mad. "No one's home."

He plucked one of the violets from the box and held it between his first finger and thumb. The compulsion to crush it overcame him, but he ignored it, marveling at the delicate skin and deep color of the blossom. He held it to his cheek—felt the petal softness there—and dropped his hands between his knees.

A flash of cream caught his eye: a folded sheet of paper, nestled deep in the box of flowers. It was plain, but when he shifted aside the roses to touch it, he could practically feel how expensive it was by the weight.

Allendale held it up, tilting it this way and that, and trying to work himself up to opening it. The paper tilted, and opened, and although he didn't mean to read it, he couldn't help but recognize the familiar, curling script:

'My dear Daniel,'

>>1341
His breath caught in throat. It was familiarity he had hoped to never feel again. The flowing letters were like creeping vines wrapping their tendrils around his heart, pulling taut. This handwriting was a memory, one that hurt.

The letter continued: “Before you read this, I must ask you to sit down. I hope this letter finds you in good health, and the shock isn’t too much to bear. You have many questions running in your mind I’m sure, I’ll try my best to answer them. I know you’re upset that I haven’t written to you in all the years since we matriculated and I have no excuse that will set you at ease, so I will not defend myself. I will also not ask for your forgiveness, it’s not of use to me anymore. The only thing I ask of you from now on is an open ear.”

It was him. The handwriting, the carefully woven words that planted an ache somewhere he wasn’t aware could ache at all. The memories bubbled up, floating higher and higher in his mind until the whole space was filled with an endless film reel playing on repeat. The dark storm and thundering lightning were split with the early summer sun beaming down. A thousand raindrops glittered and shattered in the newfound light, refracting a thousand more images of that sight he’d buried so deep within himself. Shining blonde curls framing deep amber eyes. A lilting smile that belied chaos.

Allendale gripped the paper until it tore beneath his nails and read to the end.

>>1343
For a letter attempting to make amends, it certainly did nothing to hide the airs of arrogance seeped deep in the paper. From the thick parchment to the elegant strokes and bright blue ink, everything exuded an unwarranted sense of superiority - all save the poor penmanship.

The corner of his lips twitched. Only he could read that bastard's handwriting without furrowing a brow. He shook his head and chased away the old pleasant memories that had been wrought with mire and heartbreak. The past built the foundation for his present and future. Good, bad, uneventful, each memory laid a brick one piece at a time to create his stronghold. The sweetness with his former lover had crumbled and cratered into a vulnerability not even time could repair. Instead Allendale used his anguish and rage to fortify the weakness and hoped to never encounter the one person who could topple it with a single breath.

Down came the walls and exposed the pathetic, sorrowful man who had no more heart to give.

"Of course forgiveness isn't of any use to you, Vincent," Allendale scoffed, folding the note neatly inside the box. "Such a thing is unbecoming of a social climber who landed himself in high society and turned your back on the lessers."

He removed a detached rose head and crushed it in his hand. Idiot had to use the most ambiguous and controversial flower. And those violets? Did he stay faithful to him or simply decided to watched from a distance while he stumbled through life?

Shivers ran through his body. What if it had been both?

>>1325
Yeah, writing original stuff is so much harder than fanfic. The script I wrote in 2021 still isn't even finished. I always get stuck on one stupid plot point that ends up stalling everything. Some types of story are more straightforward than others though.

>>1327
What's the plot point? Maybe some outside input can help to puzzle it out?>>1327

Been writing on breaks at work and it's so much more productive than doomscrolling.

>>1333
SOVL as hell! You got it down pat anon

>>1333
This really does look like it was yanked from a VN, good job.

>>1333
not very sluggy but very cute and well done

I don't care for crossdressing, but there is something about boys in maid outfits…

>>1313
Also I really love drawing generic looking anime guys in black and white, but I know most people find it bland or boring (mainly because I suck at imitating the style)

>>1313
>>1315
Honestly I feel the same about maid outfits and generic looking guys. I do see the style resemblance especially in the second pic. Nice job on both of these!

>>1308
That sounds good! I recommend using a throwaway account at least for the start though if you're uncomfortable using your regular one.

Working with an all fujo dev team has always been my dream. I've had a few projects in the past I've tried to work on solo, but given the scope of just how much goes into a game, it always fizzled out.
I'll put a ton of work into writing a game, developing the characters to all have depth and be interesting, planning dialogue trees and routes, making sure plot doesn't fall to the wayside in favour of romance and vice versa, and will even spend weeks reading and researching involved topics to help the themes and settings feel more authentic.
But then after that, I need to teach myself other skills that don't come so naturally such as art, game design, programming, and music. I even went so far as to try and study architecture for a pixel rpg so the towns looked good. And it burns me out having to tackle every single aspect of the game all by myself instead of being able to just focus on a single role in the development.

I would absolutely love to join your girl's team, but my irl life is too busy at the moment to give me any time to make a noticeable impact. I still wish you the best regardless. If you make this work, you're living my dream.

>>1310
You could still join in and just chat about BL games or your projects I guess!

>>1230
Nona, idk if you'll see this, but there's a Taiwanese (? I'm assuming Taiwanese BL authors can show explicit sex vs Chinese ones) webtoon called Moretones that sorta fills this niche. But, YMMV because it has a lot of rape in it between the caretaker (the older uke) and the patient (younger seme) and they first met when the seme was very young. They're "cousins" but I'm pretty sure they aren't actually related. It's a wild ride and I was bewildered everytime I tried reading it.

>>1242
thank you!

Reiwa Hanamaru style all male setting but it's set in a big mansion and follows the maid staff who gossip and spy on the lives of the master of the house and his visitors.

Any resources for dialects? I want to write something with southern characters, but I always hate when I read books by, say, Stephen King where it's written phonetically in a way that comes off as a caricature.

>>1283
I usually bypass that entirely by mentioning the character speaks with a specific accent and then take time to incorporate specific slang or other characteristics. The important thing is just to not write it out phonetically.

> "Let's go to the general store."
> "Le's go t' the general store."

It's a slightly exaggerated example, but when it comes to writing like this, phonetic writing like the second line is unnecessary because the characters are still speaking all the same words as the first. They're just pronounced differently. But just like Americans and Canadians pronounce "sorry" slightly differently ("sarree" vs "sorree"), we don't spell it differently as "sorree" when a Canadian says it, because it's the same word.
But incorporating local slang usually gets the point across well. When I read a line like this
> "Sorry but I ain't gonna do that, bud."
As a Canadian, I can't not read it in a Canadian accent Especially if you happened to mention he was Canadian beforehand.

>>1284
Ah thank you for the insight, I think one of the things that I struggle with is that when I read I don't hear the character voices in my head, so even if I'm told "This character is x" that doesn't reflect in my reading of the dialogue. I think I'm going to try to look for some regional slang to compensate then.

Let's do an art learning challenge! For this week, draw 2 pages of cubes and boxes at various angles (example included, drawabox is also useful), do ten total gesture drawings (lineofaction), and draw your OTP or otherwise as the attached pose. Feel free to post in the fanartist thread, or not at all, if you don't want to.

Deadline is wed the 18th! Have fun!
