So You're making a Fan Session
I’ve wanted to make this for a while now. I notice some people have trouble making fan sessions and I wanted to see if I could help, so I made this.
Have everything written out: Bullshitting a complicated story is the absolute worse thing you can do. Write down little notes in a notebook/journal and try to keep track of where everything is going. This will keep the story on track and help you avoid those nasty plot holes.
Take suggestions from friends with a grain of salt:Are you making a fan session with your friends? Awesome! Are your friends bombarding you with ideas of what their characters should do? Not so awesome…. No one wants to disappoint their friends, but some ideas just don’t work. Try to compromise with them.
God Tier does not mean success:Do you think that just because you go God tier you automatically win the game? No. Remember that there is a time and a place for God Tiers and sometimes its in a doomed timeline.
Don’t dump everything on one person:People have lives, don’t make them do all of the work alone, especially if you aren’t paying them.
Save texts from your friends:Don’t know how to write your friends personality in your session? Check your phone log, you’ll have a whole bunch of references of their personality in different situations.
Everyone has flaws: No one is perfect, it’s okay for your characters to have flaws or insecurities.
Take your time:You and your friends have lives, if you need to take some time away from the fan session then do it. Rushing things will make you resent ever starting this fan session.
It’s okay to have characters with the same god tiers as the ones in Homestuck:God tiers are not first come first serve, they’re based on your personality. If your character happens to fit the same God tier as Dave or Jade, then fine!
Homestuck is always available as a reference:Did you forget something important about the game? Forgot how sprites work? Homestuck probably has your answer somewhere, use it to your advantage.
If your characters are older than 13, you cannot input names:Name inputs are only available on your character’s 13th birthday, afterward they will have their name forever engrained on a name plate.
YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE STRIFE WEAPON: If you have a specibus portfolio you can have up to 8different strife weapons. It is perfectly okay to have more than one weapon type.
That’s all I can think of right now, hope I helped a bit for anyone wanting to make a fan session!
