I'm really enjoying this roj. Can't wait to find out what happens next :D. Also, I can't wait for an NSX to make an appearance after the hint about her mum having owned one. Out of interest, why didn't yuka take the acura NSX from the list cooper gave her? Did she not approve of the tuning, or the fact it was an acura instead of a honda? Anyhow keep up the awesome work
 
Well I didn't realize what the spoiler tag does. So, if you're wondering what's the word, I'll just post it here if you want.

Yuka got her Civic back (and it's a bit upgraded also, with the new wing and stuff), and Dave might know sometime later, but he won't realize that quickly that it was Yuka. He may also try to race Yuka again.
I wont give you a direct reply, because that'll spoil it for you and everyone else. I will say though, that I've got the Yuka/Dave situation in my thoughts right now. 👍

I thought about that when I was making the list, but I talked myself out of it for a few reasons.

1. You saw what she used the R33 for. Treating an NSX like that would be against her heart so to speak.
2. She was focused on getting the Civic back. If she wanted a whole new car she would've claimed on the insurance and gotten something unmolested.
3. Her mum drove a '92 Type R, so ideally she'd be after the '02 instead of a base model '90...
 
hey i also want to start my own fanfiction. do you have any advice?

Pictures make up 40% of your story:dopey:

Anyway, (@Roj) will you be needing any drivers for your chapters? Real people provide more flexability than arcade "racers", and you can tell them what to do:sly:

Besides, I'm free for hire:tup:

Yeah. Take it slow, release chapters at your own pace. Dont try and go beyond the limits of GT5 and dont plan anything too far unless you know you can recreate what you want to do within GT5. The last thing you need is a re-write because the race you thought existed actually doesnt. :dunce:

I'm thinking about it. I dont have a mic so it'll be difficult to organise anything though. If I do need drivers I'll give you guys a shout. 👍

I stumbled upon a face making program in my folders that a friend sent me ages ago. I figured out how to work it again and made some nice little avatars. :P
Love the pics! But why did you do one of Ed? You give me much to think about.

I figured he deserved one because he's famous in his own little way. :sly:
 
that was his point, yes, and i agree with him.
Alright good, I write chapters pretty quick, but have to hold myself back from releasing say 2 of them a week. And I have to say I have to agree with you. going from zero to hero in only a couple chapters gives you no room to grow.
 
So you don't have a problem with people releasing chapters quickly, but when the character can go from a nobody to a professional racer in 2 chapters?

I take it that, in theory, he wouldn't like "Red-Line" by =drifting24/7=.

Oh I dont know about that, Red-Line was following the Initial D route rather than suddenly becoming a well-known professional in a famous racing team. The main character still developed as a driver throughout the whole thing and it was only by the end that he was considered famous. I wish d24/7 was still active, Red-Zone was shaping up to be an excellent sequel. :(
