Rouicia

[Quaddy]

No problem, mate. This is my "not planning" campfire. Noooo planning. Just writing, even if it's dumb.

[Aldersmaine]

^_^

[Quaddy]

Yeah...I'm experimenting with it.

[Aldersmaine]

I've been pretty busy the last few days so it may take me a day or two more on this. Sorry about the delay.

[Aldersmaine]

It is... Short. But I was unsure what to do just yet, especially with the main plot that Tio'nel was explaining, so I figured maybe I'd do better at showing a bit of Amphelice's power and the insanity of trying to see through it with an earthling's consciousness.

I do hope I do not disappoint TOO much.

[Quaddy]

Again, you're fine. This is supposed to be a way to just sort of write without worrying about making everything just right or adding epic amounts of foreshadowing. If you want to add dragons, add dragons. Want to suddenly have elves attack? Let the elves attack. Fun fun fun.

[Aldersmaine]

so what is your opinion on how i kind of described the earth speaking to him?

[Quaddy]

It's cool. Really, so long as it's within your character's realm of influence, you can do whatever you want. Oh, and so long as your character isn't made out to be more powerful than the others, but that's...well...duh.

[Aldersmaine]

it's not more powerful, no worries. But i did want to play with the massive amounts of senses that the avatar would have, being forced into a human consciousness.

[Quaddy]

*nods* You're taking it a more serious route that even I intended. The Avatars were created as flesh, but I can see those memories and those abilities seriously rocking the human who doesn't have a conscious understanding of them.

[Aldersmaine]

;D

[Zephyr Shenkiken]

Kinda a weird spot to add, but I hope you all like it

[Quaddy]

It's fine, darling. I just want to get to the point where stuff happens. I know the "waking up" round is going to be difficult.

[Quaddy]

OK, so...we're at the point in the story were stuff has to happen. And I think people should throw some ideas out at me. You know...stuff and shit.

Also...KC seems to have lost interested in this campfire, so I was hoping someone could take over for Tio'nel. All there is is a bio-block...no actual writing, so it should be easy...

[Matt]

Couldn't he just be an open character?

[Zephyr Shenkiken]

I'll need to re read over it and then I can toss out some ideas. What were you thinking so far?

[Quaddy]

He could, Matt. He's not technically an Avatar as he stayed behind in Rouicia.

Well, this is meant to be more traditionally high fantasy, so they should win and prevail over the evils of this monotheistic incursion. Some time back, I wrote up a geographical description of Rouicia, so anyone who wants to take that mess and draw up a map...that would be awesome.

Think of it as Frodo taking the ring to Mount Doom, Aragorn becoming the King, Harry defeating Voldemort, etc. Themes of friendship and determination and love and heroism and overcoming obstacles, coming to the brink of darkness and turning away (as Frodo couldn't do, ultimately, but you get my point), etc. So...an epic journey high fantasy-type story.

[Matt]

I think I drew a map. I just never uploaded it because I went back to Edinburgh and didn't have a scanner....

[Quaddy]

Well then...the bit out the Frodo ring Mt. Dooming is still relevant.

[Quaddy]

Matt, dear, please don't hurt me. I know you're up in this one now, too. Don't...don't worry about it. Seriously. You should still be drunk, or something. Or maybe playing darts with a portrait of Milton as the target...

[Matt]

DON'T SAY THE M-WORD!!!

I skipped myself on In Fall because I couldn't handle God related stuff. And after I've written up my short for the competition I'm going to set to work on Shattered. Then I'll look at Roucia. Or Mortality. Depending on whether that one comes back round to me. I've been writing that one slowly but surely for the last few days so...

[Zephyr Shenkiken]

Speaking of which I haven't heard from Kat on that one in a bit.

[Matt]

Hm mmmm. Probably my fault...

[Zephyr Shenkiken]

Uh oh, what'd you do?

[Matt]

Held up everything forever.
