  • Nah, your not bad at it, ya just got so e room for improvement is all. Which is a good thing.

    Yep, I love writing, but I think I'm bad at it. XD

  • Yeah, sure thing. I got a few more pages filled in the other day, I'll post them later.

    Sweet! Definitely keep me posted on that man:P I became a problem so I had to 'disappear' but I came back, in a way. Too legit:D

    I'm writing a story for a video game that I plan to make in the future. So far alot of people like it.

  • I feel like I read one with that description on fanfiction.net.

    Sure. Mine is weird. Travis survives, Larry survives, there's Lee/Lilly (well, will be at some point), and Ben is randomly a little girl.

  • I tried to start a thread in which the people of the forum wrote one chapter of an ongoing story, but nobody was interested.

  • Cool, can't wait to see how those turn out!

    I'm writing two stories currently. One for Assassin's Creed and one for GTA V. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10547461/1/Assassin-s-Creed-The-Dark-War https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10575796/1/Grand-Theft-Auto-Epsilon-Rising Both are in-progress.

  • I think I might remember that.

  • The AC fic is about half done, and as for GTA, feedback is pretty low so I don't know where it'll go.

  • Yeah. It's mine.

  • Been writing since I was a kid. I've created my own fantasy-ish world (tried to do realistic one, without dragons, magic and such), and made up a few post-apocalipse stories.

  • edited September 2014

    Any chance I could get a link? It's probably buried under all the Season 2 stuff.
    EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

    Yeah. It's mine.

  • Cool, sounds like you have some pretty good ideas.

    Er... Yeah, sure. Just please don't be too critical. I'm only 13 and I began writing the original version when I was 12.

  • Yeah, I'm writing a a book at the moment. It's about the futility of choice and the pointlessness of expectation.

  • Thanks, and don't worry. I'm writing two fics, one of which is in pretty bad shape, so I don't judge when reading fanfics :)

  • You can't really ruin it. If you want ideas on how to write fanfiction, take a look at some of the stories they had there.

    Cool, I've never tried to make a fanfiction. I guess I'm just afraid I'll ruin it and the game. Lol

  • OK thanks.

  • Oh, interesting.

  • You need an account to be able to look at the site.

    How come?

  • Somehow, I accidentally clicked on your profile for the forum. I saw that you mentioned me. :) I feel the same way. XD

  • I've been planning on writing one particular series for 5 years now. It will have about 7 books in all and was heavily inspired by survival horror games, movies, etc. I've staved off on writing it until I'm a bit older though, as I'm 22 years old but the story will have the main characters all over the age of 25. So, I feel as if I'm still a bit too young mentally to write as characters in the late 20s to mid 50's. But I've pretty much written down the plot, have all the characters planned out, and have made the timeline so I know what to be writing when I'm ready to tackle it.

    I'm also working on a book right now, it's a fantasy/drama book that will be part of a four book series, then will branch out and have a few more books about different characters.

    For me, I get so discouraged about writing because I don't think what I'm writing is good enough or interesting to anyone. But I'm working on a Walking Dead FF which can be found here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10714422/1/The-Walking-Dead-Dead-of-Winter

    I'd love if you read it and tell me what you think about my writing style/skills. If not, it's totally cool, I understand not everyone likes FF. :)

    But this will act as a trial run for my writing prowess and will help me gauge if I'm really ready or not to actually write novels.

    So, pretty much I have two huge novel series planned out in my head, and they're on my mind constantly. XD

  • I like your writing quite a lot.

    A couple of points of general grammary type advice:

    Avoid sentences with too many subordinate clauses and commas. You don't do this much, but sentences such as 'She was almost numb, but she couldn't think about that, if she focused on the crunch of the snow beneath her feet, she wouldn't be so worried about that fact that her toes and fingers were numb from the cold, wet snow.' break up the otherwise nice pace of your writing. You use varying sentence legnth well: don't let sentences such as these bog it up and ruin the effect!

    Also: take care not to repeat words and phrases too much.

    In the first 3 lines, the word 'crunch' appears 5 times, and twice it appears as 'crunch of the snow beneath her feet'. That could be tidied.

    I have to go to bed now, but I'll make more points later if you'd like :)

  • Thank you for the feedback! It's much appreciated! I know that sometimes certain authors have writing styles that's not easy to read and get going with, so I hope it came off smoothly enough. :)

    Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I always kinda coasted by in English classes so grammar and proper writing aren't exactly my strong points. XD

    Again, thank you for the pointers! I don't have anyone really proof reading it before I post it, except myself of course. So, I don't really have anyone to help me edit my mistakes and give me pointers. So I welcome anything people can give. :)

    Goodnight Flog! :)

    I read your fan fiction and I thought it was amazing, I loved the story and how you did it. Good job! Keep em coming! I'm no English wiz so I really can't give you advice, but I really did like it.

  • but whenever I try to put them on paper I have a hard time for some reason

    That's my problem, too. I have a (imo) great idea for a new story, and then...I kinda don't manage to write down anything down that satisfies me.

    I like writing and I got a ton of ideas but whenever I try to put them on paper I have a hard time for some reason. Good luck with yours, hopefully I can get back to it one day.

  • Here's some more from my story,

    I awoke to the sound of a diesel engine puttering softly. Its not an uncommon sound since I live under the overpass commonly used by the military. What was odd was the fact the source of the sound was parked on the edge of the street. From the faint light of the street lamp I could make out what the vehicle was, a military troop transport. Why would they have parked there? I asked myself. There was no one around and against my better judgment I got up to go look at it. I should have know, as soon as I reached the street a voice from behind me said " don't move, American". Russian, that was easy to tell. Like an idiot I did a full 180 degree turn on my heels to come face to face with a big Russian, and his two friends. Then I came into contact with the stock of the soldiers gun then I hit the road.

    I awoke for the second time that day again to the sound of a diesel engine. But now I was in the truck, or at least the back. it was dark, there was no window to see out of but the soft morning light seeped in through the crevices providing just enough light to tell there was two other people in here with me and one guard. Sensing I was awake on of the men said " have a nice nap kid"? I was about to make a sarcastic remark when the other man said " Damn it, Dani we need to find a way out of here or at least where their taking us!" The one who must have been dani answered " Whittaker, we already know wher-..." He didn't get to finish his statement, the guard who had been silent until this point yelled " No talking! " and we all fell silent. The ride wasn't much longer, the truck hit some bumps and potholes on what I assumed to be a country back road. Then the truck suddenly stopped and me and Dani came into eye contact for a few moments before the door flew open.

    Sweet! Definitely keep me posted on that man:P I became a problem so I had to 'disappear' but I came back, in a way. Too legit:D

  • Most of what I've come up with I got from when I was doing nothing related to what I was writing, like I was doing a paper on space for school and got my inspiration from my baseball game

    but whenever I try to put them on paper I have a hard time for some reason That's my problem, too. I have a (imo) great idea for a new story, and then...I kinda don't manage to write down anything down that satisfies me.

  • When do you think you'll start your ' life' series? Just a question, I've contributed a city and a few people to the story.

    The Mission Finale is up.

  • edited September 2014

    I write two Fanfictions about 'The Walking Dead' at Fanfiktion.de, and one for 'Breaking Bad'.

    One TWD fanfiction set in Georgia also (but not hurting the comic/game canon), one in Germany, near my home town. Needed that lol :P

    The BB fanfiction about what happened to the characters after the series finale (not getting into any spoilers here).

    And I once had a idea about a story which I found really good: An old man, who survived the apocalypse (note: the apocalypse was like 40-50 years ago), meets some teenagers who were born into the post-apocalyptic world, and he tells them about...everything. About things like money, microwave food and cars, what he went through in the apocalypse, stuff like that.

    Found it a great concept, sadly never made it to paper (yet).

    And then I have my text-based adventure game 'The Story Of Catherine', with Episode 2 scheduled to release this year.

    Problem is: I haven't updated most of these for at least two months each. I think it was more than I could handle.
