@ Cucoo
I guess I'm just not familiar with rp guidelines to a good story. Either way, I'll check out the stuff tomorrow. Night y'all.

@ Wonder
"RP guidelines to a good story"? Nah I'm just using "The guidelines to a good story" :rolleyes:

Seriously, RP or not, if you study a good writer's style, you can see how to write good stories. For me it's Brian Jacques "Redwall" series and Shakespearean plays that have influenced me the most.

Also we're falling to old habits...

@Cucoo

Actually, we're still talking about the RP and how different writing styles impacted you, so we're still within the guidelines.

My post is long, but it's getting there.

Why is it that the first post someone makes in an RP is almost always the largest?

It tends to be so because of Kügelblitz's First Law of Thermonucleology in writing.

Just kidding.

I'm still studying the difference between Ernest Hemingway and Cormac McCarthy's writing style to incorporate them into my writing style, so I don't think I can give an app OR the IC post anytime soon ^^

On a more informal note, good evening.

Oh and Cuckoo, I replied to you on AtWaP.

@Wriggle

Welcome back! :p

As for me, I'm already typing up a post. (I'll admit, I could probably use some writing lessons too... :p)

At least I'm putting forth effort, right?

I guess we tend to mix relevant stuff with slightly straying stuff. Oh well

And I have to develop what all 6 of my characters are doing...

Eleos will be in the Great Plains in the US...hunting...something.

Lady Palutena, Lisa, and Morgan will probably be in a city somewhere trying to survive the hoard of shoppers, possibly three different cities.

Shulk will be in a field near wherever the SCAE Head Quarters will be...

Link will be in Hyrule

...hmm....

I guesso ^^;;

I just don't want to be pointed out for not being the "Lost Generation"-esque writer like Gertrude Stein or F. Scott Fitzgerald, or any post-modern authors like Cormac McCarthy or Sebastian Junger. This is a serious RP after all.

What about we kind of map out what we want to have happen in the beginning of the RP. Personally I was thinking that John could take his first visit to Ansem the Wise.

Oh I forgot to mention that I studied Julius Caesar, Vergil, Cicero, Catullus, and some other poet that wrote in Latin...

>Takes Latin
>Learns how to write better stories in English
(/ =w=)/

And @ Katrix

Aye. Even I kinda want some ideas for even my own characters. As is usual for my style, I planned out their ends but not their beginnings. =w=

Also I'm going to get some sleep...
If I can...
after seeing this...

"Oh you want to Sleep?"

"Nah."
