Fanfiction Club: The Rules

This idea came to me when I woke up first thing this morning.

“How’s life?”

Me:

Wasn't expecting to be tagged but thanks a lot. So, my favorite books are:

1. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

2. Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

3. Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn

4. We by Yevgeny Zamyatin

5. The Captain's Daughter by Alexander Pushkin

6. No Longer Human by Dazai Osamu

I think that's a neat list. Honestly, I've just picked the books randomly (as you can see) because there's so many to choose. Still, they are very great books, in my humble opinion.

And... I don't know who to tag honesty. I don't have that many subscribers and I'm a bit shy to tag anybody 👉👈. But if you see this post and want to join, you're welcome.

Favourite Book Tag Game

Dear mutuals and followers, let's play a game. It is simple and straightforward: name your six favourite books (with or without explanation), then tag five more people and let them do the same.

Here are my six favourite books (not in any particular order, they all share a space on the podium):

1. Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky

2. Northanger Abby by Jane Austen

3. The neverending story by Michael Ende

4. Krabat by Otfried Preußler

5. Fire and Hemlock by Dianna Wynne Jones

6. The Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett

I'm tagging @thelostinthebooks , @catcoffeeenjoyer , @stoertebeker , @plutorine @deimosatellite

Have fun 😊

KH NOVEL RESOURCES

A collection of links to fulfill all of your kh novel needs

Info:

The Kingdom Hearts novels are a series of books written by Tomoco Kanemaki, containing artwork drawn by Shiro Amano. Originally, they were only released in Japan, but we now have the official English translations for most books. (we are only missing the spin offs) The few games that don’t have novels made for them are the mobile games. (unfortunately)

Keep in mind that most of the books when translated into English, were combined into larger volumes. For example, kh2 vol 1 and 2 were put together to make a bigger volume 1. So, if you come across any fan translations titled "vol 4 of _" or " vol 5 of _" it might be labeled as a different vol in the English version, but it contains the same story.

Youtube Audiobooks:

@celestesoleil on Youtube read the entire official English series and uploaded it to her channel. Please go check her out!

Disclaimer:

I could be wrong, but I read online that Yen Press recently lost the rights to the English novels and manga. This makes it hard to find the physical english copies anymore. When shopping for the books online, please make sure you're purchasing the correct language.

ALSO none of these translations are mine; all of the credit belongs to those who spent the time to translate them. And of course I'd like to thank @rhythmmortis on tumlbr as well, who has mercifully uploaded every official English translation on google docs. (they're a lifesaver, seriously.)

Extras - Another Report

In Japan, if you preordered Kh2 Final Mix, the book Another Report, was provided with your game. Roxas—Somewhere in Time, and a directors report are included in this book, which thankfully have fan translations that I've linked below. These have never been officially translated to English.

220 Scents

This is a companion resource to Words To Describe Scent.

Arguably our most evocative sense, the sense of smell is an underused tool in writing descriptions and settings. Nothing transports me into the book I’m reading as effectively as the memory of some familiar scent, or some distant one awoken from the deepest parts of my brain. This is simply a list of recognizable scents, categorized by the “type” of scent or the kind of environment where it might be found:

(1) Natural scents are those that your character may expect to find in relatively undeveloped areas like while hiking a mountain, on a quest through a dark forest, or during an epic faceoff with their arch nemesis on a beach in the rain. These may also be found in more developed areas like a local park, and even in a peaceful oasis in a highly industrial area.

(2) Fruit/Vegetable scents are useful in many settings, so your character doesn’t have to work on a farm to use this list – though it certainly would come in handy for a farm setting! Our characters encounter these scents in the homes of loved ones, in inns where they rest for the night during a long journey, and while running through the palace orchard to warn the King of an impending attack.

(3) Florals, Herbs & Spices – perhaps the most fragrant and versatile category. Floral descriptions may be used for bouquets at an old flame’s wedding, or for a lover’s perfume left over on the pillow. Your character may encounter herbs & spices anywhere from a busy street market to a witch’s brew in an isolated mountain house.

(4) Industrial scents are those, in general, associated with humans, civilization, and development. These will typically be found in cities or wherever there are people. You may also notice that most of these would be generally considered unpleasant. That’s not to say pleasant scents don’t exist where there is development, just that the development itself usually doesn’t smell great. The beautiful scents from any of the other four categories can be, and often are, found in developed areas… especially those of the last category:

(5) Food! Your character’s favorite café, their mother’s kitchen when they were a child, the lunch their best friend used to share with them, the last Christmas meal at their ex-lover’s home, the cocktail they were drinking when they met their arch nemesis – the list is endless and endlessly evocative.

Use wisely and enjoy!
