FAKKU Writers' Lounge

Lol I wish. Everyone fears me pulling the act of turning on pr0n. I don't have a room of my own, and my computer is placed in the freaking living room. It's a peculiar lifestyle.

It's basically fantasy/magic style table-top RP. I'm only 'borrowing' mechanical ideas and rules from it. Granted, this makes my RP pseudo Art Magica RP; I adds more uniqueness at least... despite it being supposed to be dark themed.

I don't think I've ever allowed others to roll for themselves. Feels wrong. I'm surprised you'd join RPs though, even if in real life. Not sure if I've heard of Pathfinder, though.

And boom, after an insurmountable amount of consideration, I finally decided to release chapter 1 of my rewrite.

Boom.

I decided to make it longer and much more thought out than the previous draft, furthermore my writing has improved since then, so this *shouldn't* be grueling for those who read it.

Anyone know what the "Deleted Posts" in Writing and Fanfiction were? Also, I'm still in the contest. I'm almost done (80 words).

My friend deleted a post in his RP, because it was not QC'd.

You could always write the traditional way with good ol' pencil and paper, then transcribe it on the computer. Maybe get out of the house to do the writing?

If you're doing Ars Magica for a Madoka Magika RP, then I will laugh.

Table-top RPGs in real life is how they're traditionally done. Doing them online is difficult, though I have Skyped into sessions in the past. The issue is that the map and character/enemy placement is needed on the table, so it helps to be present.

Pathfinder is essentially a recreation of D&D 3.5-4th edition. It was created when Paizo, the makers, didn't have their contract renewed by Wizards of the Coast, the makers of D&D. So they went and created their own expanded version. They are very similar, and even legal despite those similarities.



Well, get on it, man! I'm very excited to see your submission.

I'm actually bad with pen and paper. But I'm thinking of trying to write regardless. We'll see.

Again, it's a revamp of Time Warriors, my first RP that took place in Fakku. Right now it's titled the Descendants of Time, though - based on Zodiac Signs and shit. It's complex, but I don't need maps and everything for it aside from a Google doc and Skype. I'm taking only a few mechanism and rules from it, which are rather helpful. I'm also taking some of the terminology for the magic side of the world. Since it is original, it definitely can't be Madoka lol.

Sounds cool, but I think I'm already burned out from reading Ars Magica's rules books haha. I'll have to revisit that book for the bestiary... haha.... ugh...

Do you think you'll ever be joining another RP in Fakku again?

I love reading the rulebooks and trying to make the most broken characters I can fathom. Rulebooks can be fun if you go into them looking for the things you want to use the most.

I wish I could, I really do, but I take too much time to write. My posts can seriously take the entire day to craft. When you're bouncing posts back and forth between people, it consumes a lot of time. Especially because I do my best to be thorough. Sorry, but I just prefer writing short stories at my own whim. I don't even have the time to do what I really want, let alone find the time to add an RP in my life. I will never stop speaking in support of them, however. They are the reason I became a writer, after all.

By the way, I tried to submit a thread for a Halloween writing event two weeks ago, but I got a maintenance page every time I tried to post it, so I took it as a sign and didn't post it at all. I think people wouldn't do anything what with the two-roads contest (even if it's on hiatus) being so close. It's a shame, though. I would have liked to read some spooky tales.

Maybe because you added a topic pic in that thread. Since that's broken it gives the maintenance page. So what we do is put the so-called topic pic at the top of the post instead.

I don't think you'll be able to do that even if you wanted to. In our docs navigating is far more easier and you don't have to reply to a post(s), you generally respond to a paragraph or two usually.

Hence, it's easier.

November is coming soon and so is National Novel Writing Month, NaNoWriMo for short. High showed me this some years ago and I've been at it every year afterwards. The main idea is to try to write a 50k novel within the month of November. It's a pretty fun challenge!

http://nanowrimo.org/

Oh yes, Nanowrimo. Another year of me saying, "Maybe next year."

I think I'm on my 3rd or 4th try myself. This year will be the year...

No, I meant another year where I don't try and instead tell myself that maybe I'll participate next year.

Oh, what luck. I'm already working on something for November, though I don't think I will finish it by the month's end.

Maybe this will be the year...but I need to think about the content. I would really like to, I really would...I'll make an effort. I have a couple novel ideas, I just have to settle on one and expand on the story.

Are we linking our nanowrimo novels? We should. http://goo.gl/8fkSmj

I'm actually reworking and reattempting my novel from last year: The God King.

Link your novels, we can add each other as buddies on the site too.

I have had a late start, but I want to catch up a bit this weekend. Also been taking time to write before and after work which worked great so far.

Being stuck with a non-native system and being very busy is making me miss my effectively deserted TSoK. How I yearn to pick up the keyboard once I'm back in the home country.

The only consolation is that I have no reader base to disappoint with the very slow writing anyway. Oh damn that's actually sad.

I was thrown heavily off track thanks to a chain of exams, but I'm back in form now. It's doubtful that I'll make 50k, but I'll keep writing and see where I end up.

Here's mine! http://nanowrimo.org/participants/xninebreaker/novels/the-uncrowned-kings



I'll have you know that I've been waiting half a year for Aize to start his first trial and for Narshen to kick some butt. Still waiting.

This means a lot, thanks Xnine. Part 16 and 17 will cover these. Stay tuned!

I read this and went, "What the hell, this can't be right." And then I went and looked up the topic, and it has indeed been more than half a year since the last part was released.
