Echo's Estate

Im blunt, people say im blunt, but no one has told me I sound like I think better then them.

Yup. Everyone exudes a different air with their bluntness. How other people perceive it can also affect the end result. But that doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is having people to talk to. You happened to be quite enjoyable to talk to. You provide outrageous entertainment in a unique way.

Uhh... is that a complement?

Obviously, lol.

Oh, yes! Cool! Another one of my reviews got posted on my college's online Art History journal!

good work

oh ya, I have another question to ask about the short story

did you find it scary? suspenseful? anything of that nature?

Um... hm... I wasn't particularly scared. I was a bit anxious to see what would happen. I thought that final part with the decision was highly suspenseful. I made the comment that I give your character plaudits for resisting.

so you would say you enjoyed it?

Yes, I've already said I did. Said it along side my criticism on my initial comment.

Ugh... this is nonsense... Space Hulk Deathwing getting delayed...

ugh, here I am being bored once again

so I wrote this up for my own purposes but I figured why not share it.

For those unaware of the focus of my writing It has generally been centered on writing a single epic length novel. Currently my novel has just advanced past version 4.5 and I decided to write up a change log as best as I could. All these versions take place over the course of about 12 years so details on some are very sparse thanks to lack of memory, anyway here it is.

Version Change Log

Version 1
Birth of writing, most basic levels of narrative written but was mostly just lots of unrestrained teenage fantasies. Story consisted of a man who was to become "Ultima" and had to win over the powers of both darkness and light. I started with dark powers but that quickly spiraled into just lots of pointless implications of sex happening.

Version 2
V1 Plot completely scrapped, emergence of a more serious telling of a actual story. I don't really recall what the story was at this point. I do remember though that it was far more realistic and had far less self indulgent fantasy pandering.

Verison 3
V2 Plot completely scrapped. I realized I still didn't have much direction even though Version 2 was my commitment to serious story telling. Version 3 is a most crucial version as it was the origin of what is now The Chosen Chronicles. For this version I had a much more detailed plot thought up. Characters like Tanis and Traydor and Jeriah were written. The skeleton of what would grow into my current plot started here. This version lasted for almost 200 physical pages and many many more typed pages. In some sense it could be considered my first rough draft for CC.

Version 4
By the time I had reached this point the beginning of version 3 had occured many years ago. I had matured, both in my writing ability and in my writing style. I made the decision to stop writing on version 3 and start fresh with a blank slate. This way I could write in my matured style. The plot from V3 was not completely scrapped but much of its content was greatly altered and reshaped. This version continued for nearly as long as V3, many years.

Version 4.5
As was the case with moving from V3 to V4 much time had passed and things had changed in my own head as to what I wanted to see and what I had actually written. This earned the title of 4.5 instead of 5 because I had no intentions of doing gigantic plot alterations. It was literally just updating the style of the current plot. The addition of the rewritten prologue was the only full rewrite.

NuV4
Catchy name right? New Version 4 as its supposed to be called is the most recent of recent incarnations of The Chosen Chronicles. I arrived at the decision to create this version seeing as I was finally getting deep into my English major courses at university and was learning alot. As of this writing this version has only just begun. Massive formatting and writing flow changes is due to be focused on and it seemed to big of a deal to just tack on to 4.5 Un finished plot updates from 4.5 are going to be brought into this version as well seeing that I was still updating the style and story in my 4.5 reversions for OGV4.

Hm... How interesting... What started as a subconscious sexual fantasy became a conscious fantastical tale. Weird how progression works when one looks at it on a broader scale..

This is the first time I've seen a story where there is a character that is extremely important and yet they are never actually in the story. Like only the implications of this character's existence is important, them actually being there and actively participating in the the story is not important. The most important not important character ever.

...huh

Its exactly what I said. I spent a couple of days reading all of the manga for Tokyo Ghoul. There is a character that feels like they are super important to the story but they never have any screen time (page time)

I can sort of picture this but not easily.

because its weird lol. you should go read the manga though, its not bad. Could use more sexy chicks but you can't get everything you want.

Would have been even better if she had red lips. I am quite the sucker for women with makeup. But good pic anyway.

That's not as comon to come by.

What about you, what are your thoughts on women with makeup? A lot of guys I know like the "all natural" look but not me.
