Well then. I went for realistic, but realistic without unpredictable is just boring.
>>14383681I don't know what's up with that either. I tried changing it but it didn't seem to work.
>>14384767There were 4 things I wanted in this fic, and as most bad practice authors do, I built my story around that. "Miko waking up in her bed, depressed", " Miko tending to the temple", "Miko and Suisei meet up and Miko almost molests her to show she hasn't changed" and then the original planned ending which I changed last minute.
>>14385474Not particularly worth doing as I believe I don't have the skills to make it work, which is why I dropped it too. It was basically some sort of implied NTR with Pekora and Moona except, obviously, they are only friends. The night would've ended with Miko masturbating to a picture of them together but dramatized. Sounds pretty ridiculous eh?
>>14389887>>14392396That is something I could not fix lest I make it a series, which I did consider, but realized this is not something I want to focus on for too long. This was always planned to be a short one shot on the day to day life of Sakura Miko, the ending wasn't going to be a resolution and it would continue on with her waking up like every other day of the year.
>>14391980I considered using Pekora's POV sometimes through the story but the switch would've been jarring and demystifying, imo.
>>14393857Perhaps another ending I had planned would've been less of a resolution and thus less build up. We shall never know because I'm not writing it.
Anyway, I'm not too saddened by how it was received since I already knew the story was boring. Though of course, I still had expectations to be met so I still tried. I shoe horned in that resolution ending due to not wanting to end it on a depressing note, but perhaps I should've trusted my guts. It wouldn't fix most problems mentioned but it would at least feel more natural. My writing has received the critique of being boring a couple of times now, so I know where you're coming from. Strangely enough, I still want to write, despite knowing my stories will always be dull. I'm glad my writing is good, even if my plot isn't, so I feel like I can still try even if no one reads them. Maybe one day you'll get a proper PekoMiko that you deserve. Maybe. Not from me.
