That's good to know! I know some very very very basic programming logic and I know how to do some simple things in excel, so... I know next to nothing of programming! xD

But I'm willing to learn in due time, I just need to handle some other stuff first... To yanno, get money and what not! xD

The rest can be solved with money! Getting VAs? Money! Getting BGs? Money! Getting sprites? Money! Money solves many problems of the world! \(^^)/
The only problem that can't be solved... Is having no money :blob_teary:

If you were able to adapt your story to another medium, what would it be? Visual Novel/Game/Anime/Movies/etc?
Given that it's fanfiction of an anime in the first place, anime is the obvious choice.
However, if I got to play Joan, 100% I'd want to turn it into porn.

Everything Alv. I choose every option. Give me all the movies, games, and anime or tv shows. But. I'm going to be involved in it. I'm not letting someone manhandle my baby.

Alright, name the directors you want to be involved for each of those adaptations.

I would like my stories as VN and Comic/Manga honestly.
It wouldn't work as a game even with it being LitRPG since it'll be very imbalanced in terms of difficulty and such.
I would love my story as a VN with different pov choice and such while I like reading manga so I would want to make my story one.
Anime I would also like but if I have to choose I would prefer VN and manga more. VN would be top priority.

My story could onlynwork as an anime. I already spoke about how it would be in another thread once.

Jump Around by house of pain would be either the opening or the MC's prsonal song and would play each time he gets high, for one thing

I'd love a video game of my Mythic Monster Typhon with Tai as the tragic final villain of the story to some other character as a hero. And I think An Automated Tale would be good for an anime. In part because of the alliteration. But mostly because it could give visuals of all the things I'm coming up with. I don't think I can describe everything as much as I would like to.

Permanight would make a good video game, with domestic tasks interspersed with more "battle-focused" quests, and different gameplay mechanics for each. I wouldn't mind making a TV show out of it either, with a style similar to Scott Pilgrim, but if I did that - the FCC would be so far up my ass because of how much I swear. There'd probably end up being so many bleeps in that shit that the audio would probably just end up sounding like the heart rate monitor of a dead guy.

As for Isekai Inc, I don't know any other medium that could work in besides "anime", really. It's too obscure to work in mainstream television or film, and it doesn't have enough action elements to really work as a game either.

Sword of Truth is more or less a template ripoff of Wheel of Time. Terry Goodkind's pontiferous narration might be a turn off, but the series sucessfully stands on its own because it is significantly bloodier and the characters mature with the passage of time unlike with WoT where even the adults tend to be eternally undecisive or rebellious teenagers.

Sword of Truth was adapted into a tv series. Kahlan wasn't as elegantly beautiful and Richard wasn't as heroically buff. Still, it was a fairly okay adaptation.

A Song of Ice and Fire was adapted into the Game of Thrones. The food porn was pretty much removed to make room for more porn. It's quite the afaptation. George R. R. Martin is pleased, anyway.

If anyone has ever seen the impractical requisites of the late Robert Jordan, they won't wonder why WoT didn't get an adaptation while he was alive.


There was a time I was wishing for a multimedia trilogy. The first would be a book to introduce the characters and their stories. The second would be a comic to provide visual affirmation to the readers's imaginings. The third would be a limited run movie to wrap it up and we get to hear the characters for the first and last time.

edit: @Moctemma, this was a pre-Y2K wish, before COBOL became a scapegoat and I became a blacksheep.

My favorite series, Wa Yuusha de Aru, is a multimedia project. You're supposed to watch the first season while reading the light novel in the released order, it's quite heartbreaking though. Then a 4-koma manga with lots of foreshadowing and two extra chapters of the light novel. After that you read the novel of the first generation of heroes while reading another light-hearted 4-koma manga. The second season of the anime comes with a light novel about another group working in the shadows and a game.

Unfortunately most people aren't willing to get the full experience. The writers for some reason had a thing for Christmas, the worst deaths and events of the stories happened on that day (in the story and irl), and even though we already knew, the result was unexpected and brutal. So I have no hope for new fans to put the effort and enjoy the carefully experience planned by the writers, it'd require an old fan to guide them.

You made me remember how the Karin novels actually occurred in-between the manga volumes and even had some unique characters in it, made me really want to buy the novelization.

... But Tokyopop never released the last volume, so I stuck to the original manga instead.

i'd want mine to be a visual novel or stay as a novel if possible and stick to the story 100% than to make it an anime or manga or movie then alter many parts of the story (altering it because it will generate more money and cost less) making it a different story altogether and the only things that will remain is the characters and their names.

i used to think that the goal of every author is to have their story to show on screen, but after seeing many failures and inaccuracies along the process making the on screen version different from the one made by the author it got me thinking that if that's what will happen to my story if i ever write one i will immidiately reject it and accept if they follow the story down to the last detail without altering things (exxept for revisions caused by plot holes huge enough to be noticed).

My first work (Optabilis Mundo) would be definitely a hentai series with long series that I truly wanted to wish for.... It'll be better if I could write it in manga for visual enjoyment.

My second work (Trap and Fade: The Worst Fantasy) would be either anime or visual novel without a sole linear route (or in other words... lots of IF stories). and of course, there will be a little bit of hentai since there's one or several characters that I can feature for "necessary fanservice" style.
