Trying to think of an Idea for a storygame

I've removed what I was saying for stuff which I don't want people to see.

Now now Earth let's not be rash. This new author just needs a little push is all.

What kind of stories are you interested in Nic? As long as it isn't Warrior Cats I'll help.

Ignore EC, your stories are awesome... And I'm not sure. Your stories so far have been pretty short, so it'd have to be something that can grab the reader's attention quickly and convey lots of emotion in a short space of time.

How about a story that's told in flashbacks from the point of view of a person that's about to die? That could be pretty hard-hitting ^_^

I'll tell you what makes a bad game (in my opinion).

If your story is about mutated cats that can fight like super humans. It's bad.

If your story's first page tells me that it is the first page of the story. It's bad.

If your story has terible gramaticle erors on evry page. It's bad.

 

Good luck on your next story.  :)

I love grammatical irony :P (unless it was meant to be there as a joke, in which case I'm sorry XD)

Just found it amusing, sorry about that :P

Oh, yeah I was making a joke. I hope you don't think I really spell like that. >.<

The hard thing for me was figuring out how to correctly misspell those words. If that makes sense.

'Gramaticle' is awesome.

You know, none of the warrior cat games on-site actually do anything. They're more or less just about cats with wacky names who seem to like having intercourse... :-/

That got a laugh out of me. It's a more...direct way of explaining those stories.

Sorry for my harsh commenting, i'm not usually like that.

Please try and mind my stupid side.

Your stories are quite good for a first few, they just need to be a bit longer, that's all.

Sorry for being rude.

If you're going to do Warrior cats, do it in space. Every warrior on earth bites ass, literally and figuratively.

... Okay, do you mean you don't have any ideas or do you mean that you're not sure where to do with what you have?

Do a story on the viewpoint of a normal everyday peasant in a world filled with demons, spirits, and gods who all constantly wage war against each other.

That actually sound like a good story idea if it can be pulled off right. The question is, what is his/her purpose? It could be survival in a time of chaos, but how fun would that be?

Well you could shape the story in many a different ways. You could have the protagonist try and conquer his own kingdom, become an 'avatar' of sorts for a god of his(or their) choosing, try and live a normal life amongst the chaos, have him try and escape to a far off land.

Any number of stories could fit into that plate.

I actually planned on doing something like that in the my Aeternus series. Though whether or not I'll make it will depend on how the first one does.

I recommend not doing it in parts unless the story-parts are significantly large and well done. :)
