Put Your Story Through The Jake Test

BreakingChalk 2021-02-10 19:01:20 UTC #22

Excitement: YES
Romance: Teenage romance, but YES
Suspense: YES
Happy Ending: Not there yet, but you can make your guesses from the narrator dialogues (to a certain degree)

I like how everybody seems to avoid the ending question, or just answer with NO

Including the thread starter!

I was prepared to be worried... but I think my Jake passes the Jake test

A little, yes.
This is a large part of the story, honestly.
A decent smidge of suspense for certain topics
I’ll tell you when I figure that out

As for my short story, considering the stakes are life and death...

Definitely!
For a fun twist, yes
Absolutely!

Welp, now that I have finished my comic I can say:

Eeeeh...no (It's a chill story)
Yesn't
Yeaaah boii

4.Nope

YES!
Well... maybe... kind of?
DOUBLE YES!
No guarantees!

I'm game, but I'll have to separate for my 3 current stories, plus the one that's due to release:

1: Does your story have Exciterment?

Finding Work - Yes! With swordfights!
The Shopkeeper - Things get very hectic towards the end, more fighting! So Yes!
Brooders - No fights in this one, but Garson is very excitable!
Lady Forista - Part 3 will have a LOT of excitement. That one won't be out for a while though.

2: Romance?

Finding Work - Not unless you count Arya calling Cheri hun.
The Shopkeeper - Arin just wants to go home, no romance for them
Brooders - Yes! This one has a very lighthearted romance (and a very lgbt-friendly one at that!)
Lady Forista - There's a lot of romantic subtext, and things are set up for me to explore a romance between the two characters. Forista's will likely be a slow-burn GL over the course of her adventures.

3: Suspense?

Honestly all of my stories have a healthy amount of suspense. Even ones that lack action have heavily suspenseful moments within them.

4: A happy ending

Finding Work - Yes
The Shopkeeper - Not... really? It's not a bad ending so much as he just sort of manages
Brooders - This ending got happy tears from @Gramkrackerhan so I'm going to say yes. (thanks Gram)
Forista - Yes, for the most part.

That was a lot but with so many short stories I had to include them all. The nice thing is any of these stories can be pick or choose, so feel free to check out the one that appeals most to you!

Yeah, this weeks chapter is going to have big hurt. I'm ready for you to make me sad again

MeltingCORE 2021-02-11 04:58:45 UTC #30

Eventually. Kind of. It’s a long way off and will be more in the background...

boondogggle 2021-02-11 20:40:35 UTC #38

I already tested my main comic, so let's test out my other!

yeah I'd say so
that's... the genre
a few scenes I guess
yup!

Ranty-cat 2021-02-11 20:45:23 UTC #39

I am pretty sure Jake will love it. Because the story style is a lot similar to Adventure Time.

you'd be surprised how intense a comic about regular degular humans on the 70s can be.
that's an important plot point, yes. :3
do you know how many fucked up things happen in my comic. i think edwin and pantucci's relationship is the most messed up slow burn, if you can even call it that.
that's a spoiler! also, we haven't even rped that part yet.

Pony_wearing_a_hat 2021-02-11 20:48:23 UTC #41

I'm falling apart a little at "regular degular"
