  • What are you writing next?

    I thought I'd see what everyone else had in the pipeline. My backlog remains harsh, with about eight stories in various stages.

    My main focus now is on one taking place primarily in a bar. I sort of like the premise but I'm not sure the ending is worth the effort of reading it. I may need to add two or three elements yet.

    One I've been working on since December I like quite a bit but I realized I would have to redo the very beginning in order to narrow the scope. The ending is just tacked on now but at least I know what I want to happen.

    Let's see...I've got a finished story that's weird enough for me to save it until I build some more credibility here. There's one that takes place in space but I'm having difficulty resolving the ending. Again, I know what I want to happen but I don't want it to be cheesy.

    Man, I blocked out one that’s been driving me crazy for a month. It’s a take on technology in a postmodern Rome. That one’s so close…

    I’d love to write another fun one like E.V.I.L. this weekend. Three hours of furious typing and then I posted it. Big fun.

    Anyone else have some projects to talk about?

    Well, I have two stories right now that are still in early stages...

    1) An epic prequel to Postmortem. Still only an outline, and a couple of chapters. Your classic civ3 story.

    2) A sort of really short misticism story. Supposed to include four chapters only. All of them outlined. Half a chapter written

    That's about it.

      Pax America stoies for me. Not sequels, per se, just sort of rewritten history. I plan on writing stories set in different time eras with a different global situation and different technology and other things.
      Whew! I'm back and ready to start writing again.
      Coming soon: Pax America Redux (Including concepts/civs from Conquests)

        Damn. You guys write outlines and everything? Maybe I should do that, it would probably make a better story.

          Yeah really, all I do is type what comes to my mind, or what I feel would best add to my previous posts

            Im same as Goober, I write it out before I type it up on the site but only just before.

            However I think I will do a sequel to Mikes Story one day but not for a while yet.

              I type it onto my computer just before putting it on the site.

              I'm thinking about writing a story about the Persian reaction English settlement of the Persian continent. It would be set on the same map as Governor of Vitoria, but in a later time period.

                  Non-Fiction- I'm researching another of my "Historical Filth" articles.

                  Fiction- I'm going to give the book another go. I was about 5,000 words into a second draft, but I don't think the viewpoint works.

                    Well, I'm not quite sure if I am going to write anything more because of time constaints...

                    However, if I do get the time, I was thinking about several subjects.

                    I'd like to do an epic about four stages in alternative Chinese 'history', which I'd love to do, as Chinese history is one of the things that fascinates me most of all, and I'd definitely want it to be accurate to the extreme...

                    Secondly, I'd like to do a semi-epic comical history of Rome, according to one of my incredibly mad warmonger games...the most satisfying one, that is.

                    Or, I've been toying with some ideas, inspired by Pax Americana, with taking real history and messing with it to produce...the alternative history!

                    Fortune smiles and so should you.

                      Oh, and I do have a short story which I did a while back based on one of my games, with a certain government choice I made...perhaps I'll dig it up this evening.

                            Doesn't look like it. But speaking of whores, MindsBigger has got to save them in his story.
