You guys might not know them, but still, you'll see that they are balanced. Eh, in that Mary Sue Litmus test in the Writers' Handbook, I got a -3 for Iin Tatsuno from "Where the Angel Sings", and a -1 for Ken from "Andromeda 108". 8 for Terry in the "Convert" series, though that one was kinda expected. I wasn't as good as I am now back then. Haha, I'm actually writing a present-tense book right now! "Where the Angel Sings" is present-tense, but it's kinda hard to break the urge to use "Did", "Was", "Had", and the such. It's totally worth it, though. RE: General Writing Thread - .:J:. - Aug. 04, 2011 so i'm guessing the lower the score the better the character? RE: General Writing Thread - Temporal - Aug. 04, 2011 Yup. There's three links in the "State of the YC forums: Help it" thread, if you want to take multiple tests. RE: General Writing Thread - .:J:. - Aug. 04, 2011 well i have already took it and got a score i'm guessing is good tell me if it is: Arix from 'Drahelix is Born!' = -7 so is that good or average for story writers? RE: General Writing Thread - Sparta - Aug. 04, 2011 -7?? WHAT THE HELL?! How is that even possible?! Lol That's an insane score. Are you sure? Go back and check, that's an incredible score. RE: General Writing Thread - .:J:. - Aug. 04, 2011 well i did it first time and got 95 then i figured out i'd ticked all the wrong boxes -.-" then i decided that i'd redo it so i redid it and got 1 and then i looked back at the questions to see if i'd missed anything and i got -7 RE: General Writing Thread - Annoying-Fork - Aug. 04, 2011 The HARD Square Aggregate 0072/Norman Fares- 2 Some punitive damage there, I guess that is the price of having a next to morally absent assassin as the main character.

WHAT THE HELL?!I ended up with a -9 for one character from "Broken", but my brother's character from HIS book got...a 130. I laughed at him for about an hour. RE: General Writing Thread - .:J:. - Aug. 04, 2011 so i'm guessing Arix is an amazingly good character idea then? nice work temporal, if you ever need advice on a chapter before you release it just ask me, i think the 5800 views and 202 comments say it all! RE: General Writing Thread - Temporal - Aug. 04, 2011 Oh! I just posted that book I was talking about, Where the Angel Sings. I'll work on it today, but I don't like having too many errors in something when I post it. RE: General Writing Thread - .:J:. - Aug. 04, 2011 oh yea i read your where the angel sings book and i gotta admit, to me thats publish worthy, you should try send a draft to a publisher, make some money and get your name out there! RE: General Writing Thread - Temporal - Aug. 04, 2011 Haha, I planned on putting it on Reflux Fiction's site first, but then I can't get much feedback. But I need to put a move on. I mean, I just founded the thing, I can't let it die. RE: General Writing Thread - .:J:. - Aug. 04, 2011 perhaps the people of this thread could advertise it? i will just ask people RE: General Writing Thread - Temporal - Aug. 04, 2011 Actually, it's kinda my fault. I've hit a bit of a standstill with one story. There's actually two ways I can take the story from the point I'm at, but I can't decide. You see, Andromeda 108 is a...pretty complex book. I thought a bit too far ahead at the beginning, and by the midpoint in the book, not many people liked one character. Hell, I was starting to resent the girl myself, and I was the one who was doing the writing! So, I gave her a pretty flashy exit. Of course, in the middle of a sentence, I realize that if she goes out, one of the other characters, Venus, would undoubtedly follow. So I lost two characters, and one was pretty well-liked, in one chapter. While this made the story harder to manage, it turned out to be the right decision. Frankly, she was kinda holding back some character development due to the snarky attitude she had, so I was finally able to elaborate on one of the newer characters, since I had no motivation for another squabble. How do I counter this? Near-death experience, man! I call it, "The Main Character gets his butt kicked because he actually has to fight for once and gets himself shot!" Again, some people from the University where I spent most of June and July raged quite a bit, but it helps the story in the long run. But enough of that, I'll figure something out today. RE: General Writing Thread - .:J:. - Aug. 04, 2011 hhmm, sounds good enough, anyway i'm wondering if i should start writing my novel again, i sent it to a publisher and they said it was good but then i decided at the time i didn't have enough time to finish the book, i still know one of the publishers, infact shes my gf! lol the story line is this normal guy that faces a near death experience and his guardian spirit appears and saves him, but due to the extent of his damages the spirit has to merge with his heart or it will stop, and due to this he becomes sorta superhuman, and people start avoiding him, then he meets another person like him in the streets accross the road, he can tell they will be rivals from looking him in the eyes. Then The kid ends up attacking him in the park with a blade which has a tribal dragon marking on it. the guy is about to get hit by the blade when he puts up his hand to brace the attack and he sees a flash of light even with his eyes closed, and around his arm he sees a white silhouette surrounding his arm, and the blade touching the light. then the blade shatters and the kid disappears. later on he finds out the white light is his spirit, so what do you think of the idea? RE: General Writing Thread - NoodooSoup - Aug. 04, 2011 Sounds pretty cliche, to be honest. Character discoverers a new power in a tight situation, been there. Can tell that they are rivals, sounds like a way so you won't have to make them meet. I don't know, I'm not liking it; doesn't sound too original. RE: General Writing Thread - Temporal - Aug. 04, 2011 Depends on execution. If you make it SOUND original, as far as readers are concerned, it's original, right? |
