Edgedancer he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 My writing isn't bad enough to mock or good enough to praise. It's just….there. I'm feeling the need for disagreement here. Let me remind you of that 24 upvotes post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaymyth she/her Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I write things. I...I'm not actually sure whether they're really good or not. They're not bad, at least. I suppose I'll get a better idea once I've finished the second draft of my Mistborn fanfic and sent it off to the beta readers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Given that we already are on the topic. I... don't really write stuff. I throw ideas around in my head and all that but I never really feel the need to actually write any of that down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 ...I've got nothing to say but thanks for the praise, guys. That means a lot. And I'll try to get something written soon, for those of you waiting for this much talked-about writing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbereth she/her Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I don't really know about my writing's quality. All I know is that is has improved. A lot. Seriously, my first worldbuilding was a Harry Potter ripoff called Tricera (named after Triceratops, seriously). Then my first NaNoWriMo was 50,000 words of nothingness. I actually have plots now, which is a lot better. I just spent 15 minutes away from writing to create a name for my evil church. It literally means "don't sorcery" in Quenya (Elvish, that is). ...So, not totally wonderful yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathoth Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I started writing that thing I based of my dream, then I realized that I dont know how to outline, and I need to read up on hunter-gatherer tribes and I have 4 magic systems that I should probably try to combine into one and seriously, someone teach me how to outline. Storms... doing horror shorts is like "Is this scary/really weird? Good, lets write it." And then I improvise them together and at least ten people liked them so I must be doing something right.

Haelbarde he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 You're both on the right track, but it's actually a direct quote from something. Problem is, I'm not sure if there are enough people around here familiar enough with the old-school portion of that fandom to get it.See I associate that with Space Quest... 4? The one where you get to pilot a ship. And now that I think of it, I recall there being a can of Primordial Soup on one of the planets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RippleGylf she/her Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 So, in my french class, we have "un chanson de la semaine," (a song of the week), and this week's song is very entertaining, even if you don't know French. I present to you, Moustache. For those of you who don't know French, it talks about this person who has everything any one could dream of... except a mustache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that I think of it, I recall there being a can of Primordial Soup on one of the planets. I never played any of them. Oh, fine, I'll give you guys the goods. Classic Doctor Who episode called "Ghost Light". They're sitting down to dinner with a bunch of creepy aliens. The Seventh Doctor specifically says firmly to Ace, "Don't eat the soup!" Because it totally is primordial soup created from broken-down human. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Slowswift he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I haven't written much, but at least I write! Though I have no idea how good/bad it is, having few of it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haelbarde he/him Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Aww... I was hoping that SQ might have been old school fandom enough. Oh well. Not actually seen many of the older DW episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdGen Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ghost Light is one of the few Seventh Doctor episodes on Netflix (if it's still there.) It's... yeah, watch it paying a lot of attention, because it's a mystery that's not very well laid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the official release is a bit easier to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm jumping in a little late here but - Kobold, your writing is *amazing*. I'm actually kind of shocked that you don't know how to confident because you have more than enough reason to do so. Your longer writing-y posts (I think I'm looking for the word prose? ) usually make me laugh, and you've got a beautiful way with words. Please learn how to confident. Your writing is great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) I present to you a dramatic reenactment of a scene from Hero of Ages. TenSoon's trial, edited for brevity. KanPaar: TenSoon of the Third Generation, would you like to explain why you suck so much? TenSoon: No, not really. KanPaar: So you admit that you suck. TenSoon: No, I'd just rather talk about something more relevant. KanPaar: Nothing is more relevant than your suckishness. TenSoon: I actually don't think I suck at all. KanPaar: Well, we do. Do you agree, or should we skip straight to sentencing? TenSoon: This....this isn't how justice works.... KanPaar: Nothing really works in your life, TenSoon, get over it.

Twi, you have a way with words.I finally finally finally got Shadows of Self! I'm not done get, but so far I've gotten this impression: (Spoilers) GIVE WAYNE ALL THE HUGS Seriously, though, cut Wayne a break. He ain't never done nothin to you. Except maybe steal- I mean trade a few things. (And, in a few cases, kill your father/husband kind of on accident.) Don't you make him feel bad, he's awesome.
