Fanfiction

[DragonFire]

Hey guys!

I created a really short ACC fanfiction a few days ago. What I failed to do on reddit was give a warning to people before reading it so I'm giving you guys fair warning to avoid unnecessary harsh criticism for people caught off guard.

I understand that Animal Crossing, in general, is a cute, joyous kind of game. Without spoiling too much, I decided to take a completely opposite approach with my fanfiction to create something that won't be easily forgotten. So there are some themes not suitable for all readers. You will understand what I mean from the first bit of text but I don't go into much detail. But if you are already have issues with that part, I suggest you stop reading.

If you are still interested, you can read it here: https://imgur.com/a/Yz0UD#2AnCwqA

I've seen plenty of screenshots of amazing, creative camp set-ups but why not go a step further? I'm hoping this concept of adding text to screenshots of ACC to create stories would spark other people's creativity.

Well, I can see why some people took this amiss, but I dug it. If you don't mind some constructive criticism, there's a bit of a problem where you've telegraphed that there's something off about the main character. He's creepy from the get-go and doesn't seem to care about consent. So I was already expecting something bad to happen. If you rewrote it so that there's more of a contrast, like he seems like a genuinely good guy, maybe a little nervous and shy, I believe it would be more effective overall, especially the ending.

But I'm a fan of this kind of twisted thing, and I also really liked your set design and the text/image medium. It does actually make me want to try something like it! (Not anytime soon, but maybe at some point.)

Thanks for the positive feedback. My intention was to maintain my character's attitude of the first suggested theme while using some subtle hints with particular words so it didn't seem like I bs'd the ending but I guess it weakened its effectiveness.

If you do end up creating one of your own, just note that those screenshots take a lot of patience trying to get the villager to position themselves where you want them to be. I actually ended up using the gameboy to cover up the reversi piece which was being used to position Fauna in that particular picture.
