Writing guides are not rules that must be obeyed in your writing, rather, they're some hints serving your work. 写作指导并非您在写作过程中需必须遵守的规则,而是为服务您写作而进行的提示。
What kind of world does "Grey Tune" set in? “灰调”是怎样的世界?
The earliest 5 articles in Grey Tune falls into the same settings: by the end of 2023, a hard to notice anomalous event spread from "the town of Grey Tune", gradually infected the entire world.最早的五篇灰调作品,在主体上均遵循相同的世界观:在2023年的年底,某个难以觉察的异常事件由小镇“灰调镇”蔓延开来,并逐步侵染至整个世界。
However, this is not the only way that history evolves. "Shadows of Grey Tune had appeared in ancient times", "it is not the town of Grey Tune but something more estoric that's behind the grey", "it occours periodicly"… are all possible directions. We are not limiting the reasons of the world go grey, to make more possiblities for the story to begin. 然而,您并不需要彻底遵守这一世界观。“灰调的影子在古代早已埋下”、“并非是灰调镇,而是某种更隐秘幽暗的事物引发了灰调的发生”、“灰调的出现具有周期性”,无论哪一种方向都可以。我们并不限定让这个世界变灰的方式,因此有多种让故事开始的可能。
But please remember, not everything is in grey in the world of "Grey Tune". In other words, what is lost are "Saturated" colours, not all colours. This is the one and only principle of Grey Tune Canon.不过,还请注意。在灰调的世界里,世界并非完全变为了灰色。换言之,失去的是“饱和”的色彩而非全部色彩。这是在灰调写作时唯一需要保持的原则。
Also, one consensus of all creators is, other than the loss of "brightness", Gray Tune also implies the loss of other things. This, however, is not mandatory.以及,创作者所共有的某个意见是,除去“色彩”的缺失之外,灰调应该暗含着对其他事物的缺失。当然,这点并非是必选的。
It is also possible to crossover Gray Tune with other canons or characters. For expample, the tale series in JP branch "Blunt Indigo Skies", "PURPLE" are also about colors. Or, you may choose to make other styles of world go gray: "small Foundation", "Double Hometown" in JP branch don't have very blunt mainstory line, are all possible choices. Introduce in communication department, FPpsD, and other foundation sites are possible, as well as characters you like.将灰调与其他世界观或角色耦合起来也是可能的。譬如和JP支部的故事系列“青钝色的天空”,“PURPLE”这类关于色彩的世界线结合,或是让不同风格的世界变灰——JP支部的“小小基金会”、“二重故乡”这些没有鲜明主线的设定也都是可能的选择。引入对话部门,FPpsD或是不同的站点也可以,引入您所喜爱的角色也可以。
In short: feel free to eliminate the brightness of the worlds.简而言之:自由的消去世界的色彩吧。
How to name the thing happened then? 如何称呼当时所发生的事情?
In different articles, it is called "Gray Tune Scenario", "That Day Event", they're all fine. However, to some extent, the two designations show different attitudes towards this event, i.e. whether they know the essence of the "event". It is both OK to let your character know or not knowing this essence, if only the internal logic is coherent. There is no need to keep unified with other articles.在不同文章里,那被称作“灰调”情景、或是“那一日”事件。无论用哪个称呼都可以。不过,这两个称呼从某种意义上表明了对事件不同的态度,即是否知道“事件”的本质。设定故事中的主人公知情还是不知情都可以,需要满足的只是您的文章自身的自圆其说,而不必太过在意和其他文章的统一。
Is there anything in particular to notice? 有什么要特别注意的事情吗?
No. After all, Gray Tune is an open world view. You can introduce plots and settings as you wish, not focusing too much on the conflicts between articles. For analogy, it is like the "Alzheimer's Disease" in CN branch, or "Face Blind" in JP Branch. (Wait, why they're all diseases…)没有。从大体上而言,灰调是个开放的世界观。您可以自由的引入您希望引入的情节和设定,而不必在意文章之间是否存在冲突和矛盾的部分。若是类比一下的话,会比较像CN支部的“阿尔兹海默症”,或是JP支部的“脸盲症”。(咦,怎么都是病症。)
Let your imagination run wild without restraint. 请不受约束的天马行空的想象吧。
What to write? 写些什么好呢?
"Gray Tune" is a world that can be understood both in large and smaller perspective. Although the original authors have a preference to smaller and antiquete emotions, but it is okay for the world to have a "world-class crisis" or something. I believe that they're also things people wish to read.“灰调”是个可往大处来解读,也可以往小处来书写的世界。尽管目前在撰写这部分的人比较喜爱小而精巧的情感,但出现“世界性的危机啦”之类的也未尝不可,我相信,那也是大家所希望阅读到的东西。
Therefore, in simpler terms, it is both okay to write about daily changes and world changes. I hope you're not limited to the day when the event occurs. 因此,简单来讲,写日常生活的细部和世界的大变局都可以。也希望您不要把目光局限在那一日的事件发生前后的故事。还是那句话:让可能性在天空中翱翔吧。
为了避免阻塞您想象的空间,这部分内容被折叠起来了。请选择性的阅读。
Here are some possible themes. 以下是一些可能的主题。
- People trapped in the perplex of the event on that day, engaging in a conversation with people of conversation department.受苦于那一日事件困扰的人,和对话部门的工作者展开对话。
- What about use sound as a substitution when colours are not able to bring happiness? 颜色无法再带给人快感的话,用声音替代颜色怎么样?
- 怀着诚挚的情感而凭空绽放的亮色。
- 从人心中诞生的灰之恶魔吞噬了世界?!
- 架空的时代的政治变化,如果突然某个地方恢复了颜色,结果帷幕碎掉了的话。
- 绽放的花火和不弃的追寻。
Also, 以及,
What if our familiar world come back again? 如果熟悉的世界,再次回来的话?
Anyway, please don't be restricted by these possible directions. 不过,还请不要被这些可能的方向所限制哦。
We are looking forward to your fantastic creations! 期待您的精彩演绎。
