Good news, peoples! The aforementioned ****-sandwich doubled in size recently so you know what that means?!
Defiance and immature rebellion!
When Floris Expanded 2.5 comes out I'm starting a new character (*crosses fingers for spiffy throwing axes/daggers/HA options/non-hideous and long 2h that bashes through blocks*). Chances are strong that she'll be a virtual twin of Evangeline because that was a lot of fun to write. However, I will be making use of a more flexible writing style. As for Evangeline herself... Well, I just might have a sneaky plan or two...
But I'm still craving feedback on specific Evangeline adventures that struck an interest. When I started this I wanted the thread to be just the story but I've grown to depend on you guys for motivation to write. On my own I spend a little time here and there playing happily but if I've a story to work on then in 2 hours I'll probably only play for about 30 minutes because I keep having to minimize and write. I tried taking notes and writing later but that is unsatisfactory to me since I forget and miss things. So feel free to post your thoughts! I even sometimes listen to criticism.
As for other AAR's, I still have mixed feelings. I'm becoming persnickety (real word) and hard to please in that area because the online college courses I'm taking contain some of the stupidest people I never knew existed. Their terrible work makes me short-tempered and I'm fast becoming the guy nobody wants to have looking at their work because I often have nothing good to say. Additionally, my original reason for refusing to immerse myself in the other AAR's on here still stands: I'm susceptible to unconscious imitation. However, I guess one little look every now and then wouldn't kill me and I'm sure I can be of some use to budding writers...
I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that about the time I posted my last chapter there were a whole gamut of new AAR's that now are mostly found on pages 5-9. I can't recall Evangeline ever having slipped past 3 so I begin to wonder if they are all dead AAR's. As an aside, I'm still a little confused and disheartened about my Ogdelbur experiment. There was a thread seriously discussing succession games where the saves were uploaded and people continued playing the same character, took him/her on different adventures. I thought it was neat so created a system, put it in motion, linked to it in the succession thread and the whole thing fell flat on its face, probably because Deadfish and I started off way too hard and scared everyone away. I had such high hopes for a communal AAR...
Ah, but what's that noise? The ****-sandwich is calling; it ambles closer and wants to rumble...
Edit: LOL, +50 for first post on page 19? I ROCK! And I give half to Killer because he seems to collect these things, the other half I'm going to bury to see if the becomes a tree or bush.
