FAKKU Writers' Lounge

Been busy for the past several days due to a wedding and summer school in general. Though, now that the wedding is finished, I'll probably be back and running soon enough~

As for me, after getting addicted to Mass Effect, I am now addicted of all games POKEMON! One can see the mental regress in my faculties of reason!

By the way, High, it is very hazy from where I am, I am feeling a little resentful. Can I vent it on you?

if it's about discussing the weather, it's a bit raining here. so it goes.

If it makes you guys feel better, it's warm and sunny where I am but I like rainy and hazy weather much more. Also, I added to the collaboration story.

Your priority is off. Add to your own first.

Really sunny and hot here.

I want more rain.

that was nice, and touching, err...a food of thought maybe? =)

PSI 290 here. Translate that into layman language this means I can smell a Sumatran barbeque of tropical vegetation from where I am!

I am feeling more resentful now. Since it will take too much time to write a monologue about it, feel free to read how my summer was last year to get an idea what I am going through now!

OT: Read that comic strip. Very depressing stuff but at least I have a haze, toxic air and very low visibility to keep my spirits up!

so it's like, history repeats itself? =)

ah I see. congratulations, I guess. don't forget to read the comic relief at the bottom to reimburse yourself up~

I wouldn't say that. It's been a while since I contributed and I was feeling kinda bad. Now I don't! Not even sure what I want to do anymore with Age of Anarchy right now though. I mean, I have the next arc planned out and I even have a couple of chapters done. What I'm not sure is what I want to do with the first arc. I have a desire to do a round of editing with it. I don't know what it is, but now that the initial feeling of, "I FINISHED IT!" is over, I just got this feeling I can do more with it and it's bothering me. I also want to try and find someone who'd be willing to do some character sketches for cheap.

Also, The Last of Us just came out and there's Borderlands 2 dlc on the way next Tuesday. So, yeah. And . . .

Clannad avi. Legit.

When even Nagisa facepalms you really should feel bad.

@d:

Editing is fine and all, but you should totally post those chapters. :3

how you been mibu

Writing The Story of Kierre (ACTUAL TITLE).

And dicking around with games and physics and humans as usual.

you finally came up with a title? thats miraculous

You should get back to reading it. Things are going!

no.

Rofl.

I'm enjoying your presence here sir SolidShark. It is indeed good to have a bit of life in here.

I definitely read the posts following yours in the improvement thread. It's helped me in a significant way. Enough to re-spark my flame in attempting my fantasy story.

As for favorite type of characters... I'll have to say that I enjoy anti-heros for a more fantasy setting. Their morals and actions tend to conflict with the general public, but at the same time, they aren't wrong or to be hated either. Anti-heros make for a good outlet for messages.

However, how you've broken characters is pretty restrictive! In all honesty, the type of character I enjoy the most is one with a lot of flaws, a character that is easily relate-able. I like my main characters to be ones that have strong qualities, but are heavily lacking others. He/She might be powerful in strength, but lack trust and understanding; or he/she might be weak and scared, but incredibly kind.

The most important thing about characters to me is that you have to utilize 2-dimension and 3-dimension characters well. Having an OP character or a character that refuses to acknowledge perspectives outside of their own are dangerous to deal with. You can have them, but only sparingly. I learned that thanks to Rise. Nothing blows harder than a character that doesn't make sense.

Anti-heroes appeal the most to me and are the easiest for me to get in to, but that's not to say I don't like heroes and villains either.



Nothing wrong with cliches in my opinion. There's a reason why that awesome mentor guy is so common place. He's awesome!
