hello again. on 2/29/2016 8:56:21 AM

 

So about a year ago I found this site and started writing a story with no outline whatsoever. That was a mistake that caused much frustration and combined with school I got too busy to work on a silly project. So I stopped coming to the site.

      Then I found Joe Dever's lone wolf saga in the Google play store. After playing through every book I could I wanted more. So here I am introducing myself (again), and I am starting an outline for a story. Hopefully I'll learn from the past. :)
   
       So hi, I hope to be in the forums meeting new people.

Psssh who reads anymore. Joking aside, I have not even come up with a title yet,  I have barely even starting on drawing an outline. I am only asking just to clarify things for me. Which I guess just posting here serves as my intent until I get a link sent.

So I did get my first storyline finished, hurrah. This story will probably be put on the back burner till I finish my contest story.

So I don't need to sign up or anything, just have a new story ready and submitted to you by may 17. Oh and I need to send the link to playa, once I come up with a title. Nothing else right?

 Update time.

             I am about halfway through the first storyline, and have implemented some romantic interest. I will also be fleshing out some of the side characters story arcs, so that they effect Eric.

             As for connecting book one and two I have come up with an ability that allows a telva to grant knowledge in the form of experience to a descendant, normally done at the end of one's life as once this ability is used you die physically. In several storylines this ability is used, but the several erics send their knowledge to a single source in a single timeline. This single source will a character in book two many years in the future. Hopefully the way this will work is that no matter the epilogue, experience, or storyline if you live you end up helping the character in book two. 

         So my question for this is, Does it seem too linear? Right now it is the journey that is important not the destination. if it seems that the endings are too linear, I have ideas on having the erics converge in one timeline but have them on different sides,  or some could be alive  while others dead, that kind of thing. Time travel gives me some liberty to break normal rules so I can do a bunch of crap such as having multiple erics.

Men are tough. After three days of no sleep Rick continued to work on the wall.

The leader. Watching the soldiers fall an die antelas rose up from her position and roused the citizens to form a militia.

Character death. James survived the battle just to be stabbed by his friend.

Background Music. As the tension rose in the haunted house Dale heard humming coming from his back. "Jasper I don't know what is more scary this house or your background music."

Unique items. The champion of the war was given the legendary sword dragon's bane.

 


What do you look for in a Fantasy Story? on 3/26/2015 9:21:10 PM

Love Brandon Sanderson's books. (especially mistborn) He comes up with such a unique way to use magic.

Another series of his is the reckoners series. It is a superhero kind of thing, but it is still really good.

The Mage of the Mists.

Beginning. Two great armies battle for domination over the world, countries known as Granderean, and Aldereon. In those armies are mostly the common cavalry, infantry, archers, a few mages, and a couple mist dancers. The battle gets bloody and casualties fall on both sides.  The few mages on both armies being pragmatic, decide to make a treaty to save peoples lives. Only the Aldereon side of the mages fall back while the mages of Granderean continue to attack. Without the mages Aldereon falls and any survivors are prisoners of war. Except for a single mist dancer.

Middle. The Mist Dancer is known as Astel. As a mist dancer she has the ability to control the mist, turn incorporeal and become one with the mists. All Mist Dancers are trained assassins, and extremely intelligent. No one exactly knows how they are created, they just are. Astel begins to exact revenge against the leaders and soldiers who caused her fellow soldiers' deaths. She finds out while hunting down the enemy mages that they did not retreat because the tyrant of Granderean promised to kill every member of a deserter's family.

End. Astel hunts down the tyrant. After fighting her way to the tyrant the battle starts. The battle goes horrible for Astel, but right before the tyrant kills Astel she turns to mist. Years later after planning she shoots him with a sniper rifle. At the end of her life she gets a visitor. The visitor happens to be the tyrant whom she thought she killed decades ago. She then dies with the knowledge that her quest never finished.
