A sub forum for creative writing on polycount? That could end up being all kinds of unintentional kick-ass. -
Creative Fantasy Writing
Hello. I've been writing this small peice over the past few days as I have been pretty bored and just want to relax. So... I am a writer by no means and I'm sure most of you will know that I do not spend alot of time doing so. (The majority of my writing is on these forums in the form of BS : ) Haha ) But anyways, I'm a… -
Re: Creative Fantasy Writing
You wrote straight from the top of your head didn't you? ;] Formatting aside: There are a lot of choppy sentences. More like collected statements than paragraphs. Flow is important. Right now it feels like a telegraph: .......... when it should feel more like ~~~~~ waves. The spoken text feels like lines delivered rather… -

Thanks Danshewan. Do you think it's just lazy that I haven't put particular things that explains why, for example, the lieutenant is anxious and whatnot?

Here is the extension of that Zerg piece. I've narrated the marines abandonment and extended the descriptions of the actual cave scenario. Hope you like it. I'm fairly happy with the way that it turned out. edit - As you can probably tell, I'm putting in decent bits from my other pieces and putting them into this. -
Re: Creative Fantasy Writing
Again, lazyness on my part. I'm taking care and revising the Zerg piece as I favour it the most. -
Re: Creative Fantasy Writing
Woah, Lotekk, I considered that peice to be a draft and now I have so much more to improve on :) Thanks to everyone else aswell - The silenced the flame thing is really stupid now that you've mentioned it. I guess I wasn't paying attention or I was feeling lazy yesterday. -
Re: Creative Fantasy Writing
Seriously , for every cuss word I read, I lose a fair amount of interest and respect; stop it already. Foul words are a scalpel, not an armory worth of broadswords. If you see then too often, they lose any impact. Use them only to draw attention to a specific thing. Foul language in common speak is boorish and sloppy.…
