Title: How to add a new category to ff.net
Post by: Dejablue on January 22, 2007, 01:58:57 AM
I've been wondering if there is even a slight chance of getting a "Bully" category put up in the Game secion of fanfiction.net.  If there is any writings out there it could all be collected there.  It probably wouldn't be much but I think some fans like to express themselves in writing and should be allowed to easily view the efforts of other fans.  
The only problem is there seems to be no way of requesting a new categoryfrom what I can see. And if there is a way they keep it hidden.

Does anybody hear know how to make category requests to Fanfiction.net?

Chapter One

      

      Although he would never admit it, Jimmy Hopkins knew he wasn't quite ready to

resume life with his mother with her new husband in tow.  To divulge that information to anyone out

side of his own thoughts would shame him.  But at the same time it wasn't a lie to say that another year

at Bullworth Academy did not hold his interest.  In fact it would be a lie to say that he wanted to leave.  

After the off kilter and chaotic eventfulness of the previous year, it soon dawned on Jimmy that this

school, despite its flaws, was one of the high points of his short life.  He had friends for starters, true

and superficial alike.  But that could only be expected when one was one of the most popular kids in

Bullworth.  A very spirit lifting circumstance given the previous fifteen years of Jimmy's life.

   Maybe Jimmy didn't feel up to living through another short lived “season of happiness” at home

because he knew well it was going to ultimately crash  into another divorce.  If only he had been sent to

Bullworth earlier his emotions could have been saved a lot of damage.  He spread himself out on his

lumpy mattress and stared up at the spinning ceiling fan.  The room was stifling and the only task the

fan did was blow around hot air.  The boy's mind drifted back to when he last saw his mom, on the six

hour drive to Bullworth, laying in the back seat of his new “step-father's” car.  Jimmy's mom had had

him at a fairly young age, and she made sure to keep up appearances.  This....man on the other hand

was incredibly old and did little to hide the fact.  The top of his head was nothing but skin, with liver

spots. Gross!  But maybe his old age would make the break up easier for Mrs. Hopkins.  Past

experiences with men of all variety had uncovered some very crazy cases.  Not every relationship she

entered turned into a marriage, but there were a lot of long standing “connections”,  either because the

sex was good or the man was desperate for love and showered Mrs. Hopkins with gifts.

He blanched visibly, the old man was gonna need large amounts of Viagra just to function.  Maybe if

Jimmy were lucky the old man might have a heart attack before too long.  

   
   The digital alarm clock on the side of his bed told Jimmy that he had only an hour before the

9:00 A.M class bell rang.  He had over slept again and, unless he decided to skip class, didn't have

much time to do what he wanted this morning.  But there was one thing on his mind that he knew he

had to do before summer changed into fall.  With a small groan he pushed himself out of bed and

grabbed a sheet of paper from the drawer on his nightstand then found a few inches of space where he

could lay the paper flat on the table that held his chemistry set.  For the first few minutes he twirled the

pencil idly in between his fingers.  Writing words wasn't as easy as saying them, and his vocabulary

wasn't the most well formed, (easily seen since he failed English twice) and he was in a hurry.  But the

longer he sat the more he thought and eventually his thoughts were clear enough to write.  The letter

was short and to the point.  No need to be elaborate, the recipient would be able to fill in the blanks just

fine without him being moody all over the page.  In the end it only took him just over ten minutes to

say what he wanted.  Jimmy took the paper and folded it, then stashed it away in his night stand.  He would mail it

off later but what was more important was snagging something edible from town before class

began.  There was no way in hell he would let Edna feed him breakfast.  Without a second thought,

Jimmy raced out of the boy's dorm, brushing rudely against some still jammy clad nerds who laughed and waved at

Jimmy's passing form as if they enjoyed being nearly knocked over.



   Dear Mom,

I know it doesn't seem like myself when I say this but, I kinda like it here at this school.  Some of the adults are jerks and so are some of the kids.  But it's nothing I can't handle.   I just want you to know that despite how bad I felt when you dumped me here, this place isn't so bad.  I'm actually learning something,  and I can't stay mad since I'm not an outcast here like I was at the other schools...So I'll be straight forward with you, mom.  I want to stay here at Bullworth for another year.  I'm sure you wouldn't mind having me out of your hair for a little longer, would you?

                                                                           
                                                                                                       ~Jimmy

Yes.  Slash fiction has become very popular.  Very out of character but the writers never seem to care.

Have you guys checked Misc. RPG's under Games? And I know the horrors of slash. It's enough to make anyone insane and scarred for life. Trust me.

Hey, sometimes it isn't- and in this game, there are gay and bisexual characters, so it's totally canon. :)

And yay for fanfiction! I asked if anyone else had written any on another thread. Only other one I've found online was a Gary/Petey (gen, not slash) piece, and that was through Google... and yeah- I dunno what's up with FF.net not having a Bully section. (Seriously- I thought the fangirls would have gone nuts over this game...)

Yeah, I mean, it's not like Harry Potter has had a gay thought, yet what the fandom has written about him... (Though Sirius and Remus are practically canon...)

Whereas this game? Has canon gay pairings, plenty of innuendo, and gay/bisexual guys. Not to mention it's set in a boarding school which mostly consists of boys. Writing slash about it = shooting fish in a barrel.

I suspect it's more about the audience than the game. If it were a book or a comic, I think there would be more fanfiction. I'm guessing women who are gamers (or who are active in gaming fandoms) are still a minority, and given that the majority of the people writing slash are heterosexual women... it doesn't happen that much.

Like I said, I saw one gen fic which *might* have become slashy (Gary/Petey) on a yaoi board. Amongst some fanart and furry stuff... which- hey, I'm openminded, they're not hurting anyone, I guess- but I don't get it. And cartoon porn kind of disturbs me.

No, no. Im a total Harry Potter freak and i know that Remus and Sirius are straight. (in regard to the 6th book)

Yeah, i do think that's a bitof a target, but i don't get why slash loving pople pick characters that hate each other... it kind of annoys me. Im a romance writer myself and if im going to do a fanfiction about two characters in love, i look for the real evidence (E.G Sonamy, Misty and ash from pokemon, Sora and Tai from digimon) because it makes me feel more happy about it tht way.

Hi there. Yes there is a Bully category in the Fanfiction.net site. I read stories in ff.net all the time. On the home page, go to the Games category. It's in the first column towards the middle.

It's in between "Bubble Bobble" and "Bust A Move/Groove " Hope that helps! :)
