POLL: Original or Anime-based?
Posted by Agora 8 years ago
So anonymous19999's comment on my Non Non Biyori story made me really think: What do you guys actually expect from me?
Are my anime-based stories just disappointments until my next original story, or are they what you're really looking for?
Poll up for a whole month, maybe I'll be conned into doing more than a yearly story if I get a lot of votes? *wink wink*
Now's the time to influence my future stories, and, as you may know, I am really easily swayed by popular opinion, so whatever wins will likely be a strong push for my future stories, so get voting!
Cuddlekins somehow really fails at these, so if mine also fails at letting you vote, let me know and I will gladly admit I have no idea what I did wrong and try things.
Edit: Poll fails. Tell me in the comments : D

I tried to vote, but there is no option to do so. But I was gonna vote for anime-based. Though your original stories are awesome, the anime ones are absolutely the best!

I don't see a vote option either.

Yeah, can't vote on it. I wonder if this is a known issue; maybe I'd know if I came out from under my rock a little more often >:T
Anyway, I always prefer original stories. I can say with pride that I've not a single piece of fanfiction in my gallery, and it's like to stay that way. o:

How can the poll fail! There are basically no options ;-;
Well, for now, if you can't vote, just let me know in the comments XD

both can be good, but your best works are all originals
sometimes the anime inspires you to do pretty creative things which is cool. what i do when that happens is i create my own "totally original" copycat setting and characters so i can reuse the gimmick w/out the baggage

Just write whatever you enjoy best. I'm not familiar with most of the characters you use, so they're all pretty new to me. More than one story a year though? This is obviously an Agora terminator robot, doing a poor impression of the real Agora. Teasing aside, this would be awesome.

My vote is for original stories. Anime ones with their already-created setting and character personalities often clash with the story idea, imo.

You should write whatever you like to write. Your stories are good and it makes me happy when I see you upload a new story.
Though, if I had to pick one, I would say to do original works. Most of the animes aren't made with this stuff in mind so sometimes when people do stories with the established animes, the situations can seem forced or out of character to me.

Your writign is much more interesting than any anime I've ever seen, and if you write abotu anime then i have no clue who these people are or what's happening.

Definitely seeing a trend for originals, all right.
Don't you guys worry about me writing 'whatever I like to write', I wouldn't ask if I didn't enjoy writing both anime-based and originals =)
Thanks for all the replies, keep 'em coming!

Well, I wasn't going to comment, but with multiple stories per year on the line you've forced my hand. I'm pretty neutral but I tend to prefer anime based stories because it allows some skipping of character building and world development. However, from what I've read, your original works tend to be better than the fan fictions. Maybe it's just because you're a better writer than 99% of the writers on this site. Will ego stoke more upon request.

Pretty much this. But I mean, I've seen all the anime you've based your stories on. If someone hadn't seen them, I can see how they'd prefer originals. That said, I like your original stories a lot also, so I wouldn't mind either!
