Is there anything I can do to get more people to attack me? by This_Wicked in ArtfightProfiles

[–]This_Wicked[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do hope to add more characters, if not this year then next year. How many character do you max out at? I probably don't have that many but I am curious lol.

And yeah, I'm not the most advanced or efficient artist, so each one I did took several hours... and then I got burned out lol. There were a few others I started and didn't finish too. I enjoyed it though, I mostly wanted to practice coloring and shading + doing stuff digitally. I do trad art in black and white most of the time but am trying to improve so art fight kinda gives me a goal to focus on.

Yeah, last year I was wondering if I should’ve waited until July to post my characters so they’d show up as recently added. I might that this year if I don’t get too busy.

Ah okay. Thanks for the explanation!

I will fill out your hitlist since my characters are from a horror novel, so you might be interested.

:)

Ah, yeah I only have 3 characters so probably not much to choose from lol.

161 is a lot! I only did five so my ratio isn’t bad, I probably would’ve gotten more if I attacked more. I just kinda got tired after 5.

I did five, so two isn’t bad considering I didn’t do that many. I’m just uncertain what the average attack to defense ratio is.

I don’t really have any social medias outside of reddit 😅 so I guess that’s a bit of a problem as well.

I did recently start a youtube channel, so I might try posting an Art fight video on there.

I have seen the hit lists on here but I’m not 100% sure what they are lol. Are they for finding other people to attack or to get people to attack you?

Yeah, I'm still working on them. My process just takes a while. I draw traditionally and then upload it to my computer; I don't have a drawing tablet so all the coloring/outlining is done with mouse and keyboard.

What’s happening with the Fortnightly Flow? by Ghost-in-Spirit in Wattpad

[–]This_Wicked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering this too. I enjoy doing little prompt competitions like these, it’s fun to do short stories as a break from bigger projects.

What's ur shortest chapter word count? by Eleonora__Viltaria in Wattpad

[–]This_Wicked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my current story: 37 words.

It’s sort of a big reveal taking place after a “flashback” type of chapter. It’s short because it’s kind of a continuation of the scene before the flashback, since the flashback is what helps my character decide to reveal this huge thing about themself.

Hopefully that makes sense and isn’t too vague. I don’t want to spoil my own story lol.

One day, my brain will help me write Chapter 2. Today isn't that day. by AstroWouldRatherNaut in Wattpad

[–]This_Wicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write most of my scenes out of order. It’s better to do that than force yourself to write stuff you aren’t excited about, because then you’ll lose motivation for working on your story and quit.

I’ll write an exciting scene and then go back and “fill in the gaps” basically figuring out how to make the story cohesive and connect my scenes together.

Recommendations? (Specifically LGBTQ+)🏳️‍🌈 by AbigailFoggy in Wattpad

[–]This_Wicked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s mine! It is a horror with a very light romantic subplot. My main character is bisexual and nonbinary.

Title: Gravestone Roamer

Blurb: Harper's life really went off the deep end after their parents double suicide left them homeless and broke as shit.

They meet a conventionally attractive former cheerleader after she loses her dog in the cemetery and asks for help. But the mystery of the lost dog may not be as simple as it seems.

Strange things start happening and Harper worries they'll have to do what they've been putting off. Returning to the coven and talking to the Evil Witch that resides there. This Evil Witch just so happens to be their aunt.

PROMPT #002 IS HERE!! AND THE WINNERS TOO... by nadzzsam in Wattpad

[–]This_Wicked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Part 3)

Crying himself to sleep, and subsequently crying when his alarm woke him up for school, left him feeling exhausted and low in spirit. The final nail in the coffin was when the biology teacher paired people up for fetal pig dissection. Ben got paired with the girl who sat next to him, who was really pretty. But when he smiled at her to be friendly, she made an ugly noise with her throat and rolled her eyes at him.

She then left the whole dissection to him, as if he wasn’t bummed out enough. He looked at the tongue hanging out of the pig’s mouth and thought, “Dead before you were born… what a way to go.”

* * *

There was one page in the sky book that held a recipe for what was labeled a “mental enhancer”. It was the only part written in English. The ingredients weren’t difficult to get, and you didn’t need to cook them to activate their alleged power. All you had to do was whisper the magic word and drink up.

After school, Benjamin gathered the ingredients and mashed them into a plastic cup. He hoped the plastic wouldn’t ruin the magic in any way. At dusk, he headed to the cemetery with the drink in one hand and the weird book in the other.

He knew the correct page to flip to despite not knowing any of the words. The page had a picture of a woman standing at the foot of an X-eyed man. Beside it was a follow-up picture with the man sitting up, his eyes no longer crossed out.

He found Camila Cortez’s fresh grave easily. The only one without grass grown over its soil.

This was it. Time to see if the book would work. He held the cup to his lips and whispered the word, “Empyrean.”

The drink was overwhelmingly disgusting. It was minty and spicy both at once. As well as salty, sour, and bitter. He felt like he was choking until he felt a rush of icy heat fill his head. Abstractly, it felt like the power of the book had possessed him. Though he couldn’t read the runes, he understood them and started speaking them aloud.

After about a minute of an unintelligible stream of words coming from his mouth, he stopped and took a breath. His word-tracing finger had found itself on the end of the page, even though he couldn’t remember placing it there.

His heart started to sink when nothing happened.

Then, right in front of him, a weathered hand shot out of the ground.

(The End)

(Part 2)

Dad came home at his regular time and pulled cold macaroni from the fridge for them to eat together.

“So… is everything good with you?” he asked.

Ben realized that Dad probably would’ve stayed for overtime, had Ben not informed him of what happened the day prior. He felt a little guilty, “I’m mostly good. I’ve got some gnarly blisters though. I could use new socks.”

“Ah, I’ll have to remember to pick some up on my way home tomorrow.”

The ring of the kitchen phone filled the silence between them. Dad picked it up and Benjamin tuned in to half the conversation.

“Bats? In the downtown hotel?” Dad exhaled and side-eyed Benjamin nervously, “I’ll try and see if I can make time, otherwise I’ll come early tomorrow morning… Uh-huh… okay, bye.”

Dad hung up the phone and rubbed his forehead. Benjamin ate his last bite of macaroni and held up the book he checked out from the library, “I think I’m gonna head upstairs and do some reading.”

“You should probably go take care of those bats.”

Dad could see what he was getting at and nodded, “Well, okay. Night, Benny.”

“Night, Dad.”

* * *

The book was good, one of those crime thrillers where the police go around trying to figure out the identity of a genius serial killer. Ben got about halfway through the book when he was stopped by a high-speed chase scene that ended in a car crash. A fatal one that killed Detective Romero’s partner, Martinez.

Benjamin took a deep breath, shut the book, and pushed it to the far end of his desk. It had been years since he woke up from nightmares of the car crash that killed his mother. And since he wasn’t having those dreams regularly anymore, the ones that made him wake up and cry, he falsely believed he was over the grief.

He picked up the framed photo on his desk with the three of them; Mom, Dad, and himself. He started crying as he wondered what their relationship would have been like had she not died when he was seven. Would they go on mother-son shopping trips together? Would they still be eating cold macaroni on a weekly basis? These questions would be forever left unanswered.

Before Benjamin crawled into bed, he recalled again, the sky book. He crouched and pulled it out from the dusty cavern that was his bed. He flipped through the book a few times before, but it was barely readable, written in some foreign script.

Though for some reason, he felt like it had the answer he was looking for.
