The Battle for FableWood - OOC

DawnAntalios said:
On a side note we need to barrage Silver with harassment of making the Notes section to be a reality.
Which might be problematic considering how many tabs she ordered already.

I already requested it :P
 
Tiny minor thing @Dominaiscna the camp is in the Far Plains, just North of Branbern, its not near the Whispering Isles. This info might help with future posts, no need to change the first.

Oh... Whoops xD my bad. Okay then. I shall keep that in mind for next time. Sorry!
 
@Dominaiscna Not trying to be overly critical here, just wanted to say that the detailed posts read better without OOC comments in them. ^^ I'm not going to take offense to however your character reacts to mine or thinks of my characters. Trust me, Luness is overly critical of others on a daily basis.

okie dokez understood!
 
So, i don't have much experience with writing detailed stories for rps like this so does anybody have some tips? I try to do my best but i feel dwarfed by your writing and i wonder how you guys managed to learn to write so well.

You are doing very well. I can't offer you many tips about writing, because I just practiced. I read books and adopted styles I liked from published authors. I know what I think is good writing and I try and keep a mental list of what that includes.


In terms of common things, I find most people don't add enough description to how their characters react and feel. Their emotions are a large part of why people become attached to them, so stating them makes them much more identifiable. Description is good too, every now and then moving the reader away from the methodical statement of actions your character makes and instead focusing on something they see or hear, it could be pretty mundane, but it provides a good break and a change of imagery in the heads of your readers. If I think of more I'll write it.
 
Well generally I think it is a good idea what you guys are doing already:


- Describing your inner thoughts, fights and perhaps feelings can lead to a better understanding to what motivates your character and what his/her goals are ultimately.


- Trying to picture the environment and minimally interacting it might also lead to some great scenes ( like the wind brushing through your hair, the soil crumbling beneath your feet, your face being seen as reflection on the surface of the water ) it all allows you to create an organic world.


- Lastly, the most difficult (and obviously something which is not necessary at all, it is situational) is perhaps to create mini, one line characters you interact with to, once again, make the world more organic.


Aside from these in my experience it is just the matter of practice, the style of the books you have read - and of course your own style of writing, your very own thought process which serves as your signature in replies.


You are already doing very great, you need not to worry!

@forgefan I would say, if you could refrain from slaughtering whole platoons single-handedly I would be grateful. 1. raising an undead army is severely over powered, 2. I actually needed those forces and now must write some more, :P

Well to Arianne she is one, yes.


The perspective of an 11 years old might be a bit different than the view of an adult... she wishes to treat everyone with respect.


Of course who knows, she might wants to soften her up to like her more! :P

Daw sweet man. >w<
 
To be fair the wisps know by proxy how cheerful and cool Leandra is so they love her...


But god forbid Ember does something as much as to chuckle or show a smile and they will swarm her as well!


So watch out!
 
Mornin fablewood folks. I'll get to catching up here shortly. Gotta get coffee in me before I even think about writing anything.

Morning Crooked xD Just like old times eh? Walls of posts in the OOC and ppl posting IC almost round the clock. Can't say I haven't missed this.
 
@SilverFlight


Hehe...'Feathers'. I love it. xD (totally failed to think of a good nickname to comeback with)

I'm not much fond of the female knight title IRL 'Dam' so 'Lady' for a knight is quite appropriate ^^

give her a while. For now, she will watch them cautiously with a raised eyebrow.
 
Ember is basically like how Luness used to be (still can be to an extent). *shrug*
