It would mean so much if you did. Maybe you can help me by reviewing the chapters I finish rewriting. As I've said, it may take a while and it may take some effort to rewrite one. Time's not really an issue for me, I'd just hate to keep people waiting x_x
Yeah, if you need help I can provide assistant. I do a lot of prose writing. ^^;
Yup. There's so much I want to reveal, but I also have a lazy side on this project. These two sides are clashing with each other, and I'm tempted every step of the way to just leave it as it is. But I know I'll regret it if I do nothing about it so prose form it is. It may delay the progress a little and may be something I'm not really used to, but there's a first time for everything, right?
Well it seems you've gotten a clear view of what you want for your story now. So now you just need to make it happen.
Now I'm getting all sorts of ideas in my head, including the most recent one I've had about giving each character unique powers based on their signature monsters. And seeing a lot of dialogue coming up, I would definitely need to write it in prose if I want to give it that "epic" feeling at the seldom but right opportunities. Especially the ending I have in store for it. It would be a long project to write the Prelude in prose form, but it can be done. Looks like multitasking will have to come into play and top gear if I want to keep the whole story in one form.
It is certainly something you have to decide. It depends on what you want out of the story and what you feel is important. What you want the reader to get from it. Depending on which is more important you make your decision to fit your goal.
I see what you mean. Basically, if there are more Duels, then script form would be the better choice. Numbers are important, but I feel like prose would be the better choice since I also want to develop the main characters in a way best suitable for prose. And if I play my cards right (pun intended) I can even make the Duels look good or even better in prose form. The downside now would be rewritting everything in prose form. But that's the choice I'm leaning to at the moment. There's so much I want to reveal for each character more than just their game plan.
I feel that if you want to write a script it should be a script. You're missing all of the formatting for a script. Because you want to be both it ends up weakening everything. I can see that you were going for the feel of the anime given how it plays out and the over the top manner in which the dialogue carried. So I can see where you were going. It even has the correct feel to it. However, since it is neither script nor prose, it sends mixed messages. You need to commit to one style, as I don't believe you're trying to be experimental. Even when I'm trying to convey that manga feel in my stories I still remain within the confines of a prose format. I may use different parts in an unconventional manner, but it is all still prose. Considering it how numbers heavy a card game is a script format probably is the best way. The only other way to do it and not be bogged down in the boring repetitive aspect of the numbers game in a prose is to drop the majority of the card aspect and make it more character focused and not card focused. That way the prose would still have the flow that would not be interrupted by number games.
And there you go. Your manipulative aura is showing again o_o Haha, but I understand what you meant. I've always written in script form, though I tried to add as much detail as I can. So I guess a mixture of both? The first seven chapters were written long ago while the eighth has been finished recently, and you'll see some improvement as you go further. I'm not the best writer around but know you can help me, even just a little x_x
Oh I have a vision and I plan to see it through, through my own power or through another. Well I finished reading the first chapter, however after reading it. It's going to be more difficult to provide an in depth feedback due to how you structured it. So I have to ask. Did you want it to be a script or prose? Because it is neither, since it is neither there are large sweeping comments that have to be made that will pretty much make the need for further comments unnecessary. As it would change quite significantly, thus commenting further would not really prove to be meaningful at this point.
That's a start. I wish you good luck on that, and don't settle for anything less than what you have in mind Eh, it happens. We all get the sudden urge to do something else so don't feel bad if you can't do it tonight. ^^
Yeah, I haven't tried too strongly. However, Crunchyroll is opening a doujinshi part of their site. So there is a nice public market for original stories. I might end up trying to hunt down an interested artist there. I'm going to trying to look at it tonight. Ever since I finally got Zero Escape, it's been difficult not to want to play it endlessly.
That would be a good idea. But it's okay to be patient too And yeah, I just read the first chapter, but I'll read more later tonight once I get time. I feel so much better about my story now that I have made my input on my own comments section. It all came from me, but it's actually nice reading my own input on the story. Feels good.
It's ok, I'm patient about waiting. Maybe I should advertise I'm looking. Yup, did you read the whole sub-arc or just the first chapter?
Wish I could help, but my artistic skills are not manga worthy >.< Aw, Yumi's got her own chapter.
