Speaking of Fanfiction, I'm writing an entire episode. Since I plan on writing a fantasy book in a couple of years, I think this would help me improve a bit. When I'm done, I'm gonna let my friends read it. When I get their opinions I'm going to decide if I should release it into the public.
Just let us read it instead.
I usually trust people I know extremely well. I was thinking about letting you guys read it, but from past experiences I know that internet criticism is extremely harsh.

All the more reason.
But seriously, don't let anyone pressure you, if you don't feel comfortable showing it to people, don't.
I feel comfortable showing it to people. I just want it to be perfect is all. I mean, so far I got 1/4 done and I'm editing that 1 quarter to be as perfect as I want it to be. Also I'm reading really bad Adventure Time fanfics to know what NOT to do.
can we get a basic overview of the plot at least? i'm curious

I'm pretty much trying to add Fionna and Cake into Finn and Jake's universe without it sounding cheesy as hell like most fanfics.
It's generic I know, but pretty much Finn and Jake wake up to bright flash in their room. When they wake up, they find these 2 people sleeping in their beds. Shit goes down, then they realize it's their counterparts from the Ice King's fan fiction. So they're off to the Ice Kingdom to see what's up.
I summarized the plot to dirt-cheap detail. I'm just about done perfecting a good quarter of the episode. If I'm sure of myself that it's pretty detailed and the words are put together right and not look like a 3rd grader wrote it, then I'll post the quarter here without my friends opinions.
oh man sounds interesting
i'd love to see a way to write it that won't completely destroy the concept of the show (which apparently is what that would do, according to everyone arguing about it)
Wouldn't he have his hands way full with the Ice Queen, though?
Before I write it down a scene, I kinda imagine it and ask myself , " Would this look right if this was actually official work?" That's what most fan-fiction writers usually don't do, at least for the few fanfics I just read. And my god they were awful.

Who, Finn? If so, I can't really tell you without spoiling shit.
no, ice king
i assumed you were throwing in EVERY genderbent character. finn/jake and fionna/cake without other characters would be...interesting. Then again that's plausible what with IK's freakish obsession and shrine.

It seems you have a bit of a freakish obsession yourself.

if you're not willing to let people read because you're afraid they might not like it, you won't get far. if you're that afraid of criticism good luck getting better, because you'll only show it to your mom and your 7-yo sister because they'll say "oh how nice, timmy! you're a fantastic writer, good job" and you'll think your sloppy writing is good enough.[/QUOTE]
Dude chill its just a fanfic.

Holy fucking rudeness, batman. Thanks for proving my point about how harsh people can get when it comes to advice. Seriously, calm your titties. I'm not afraid of criticism, it's just the way people explain it to the creator in a rude way to make them feel bad about themselves. A good example would be when someone creates a Gmod film, posts it in the videos section. The criticism produced is far worse than what it should be.

No. Why don't you accept criticism? Do you want to be the internet's next Tom Preston?
Way to prove his point, bro.
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;39712598]Way to prove his point, bro.[/QUOTE]
How did I prove his point?

Did I hurt his feelings?
This was probably posted long before I got into the show, but this is the most amusing Finn cosplay I have seen.

Anyone else think it would be cool to see an episode where Finn is like 20 or something.

Where's that from? Is it farmworld Finn? (Mechanical arm)

The Mortal Folly/Recoil Episode.
No its not Farm World Finn.

I thought I recognized it. Couldn't remember where from though.
He has a point. There are people out there who are a lot more harsh than others and provide bullshit criticism compared to trusted people who provide constructive criticism. You overexaggarated it a lot, Gonzales, and if you think that a good way to tell him "if you don't open up to harsher criticism you won't get far" is by being completely sarcastic, condescending, and rude, then you're just proving his point further. No one wants to receive criticism from someone who acts that way.
seriously though if you're afraid of criticism it's probably because you are poo.
Shit, this picture was drawn by Shwig a long while back, but I'll post it anyway.

Apparently from something called Fate Zero, I haven't a clue.
Get me this sword, and I'll wet your pork-sword.

A episode that shows Ooo in the future would be awesome.
That episode was alright. Better than Davey, I think.
[editline]25th February 2013[/editline]
And definitely better than Marshal Lee
Oh Flame Princess, i'll give you the dick if I could but alas it would get burnt off.
