Not "new", but returned. (force ghost?)

Welcome back!

Nice to see you returning. Hopefully you'll stay longer than a year this time.

Are you still writing FanFic? You've found those boards again, right?

 

Welcome back. Very exciting. Join a social thread.

 

Welcome back and embarrassing fiction is my forte!!! Never be ashamed of your work!

 

Or you start with comics. How about that? You have story ideas, which doesn't work in "books", but maybe it helps to start with comics. Short text, stories are told fast but also gives readers something to discover, if you enjoy details in the background of pics.

 

Yeah... cheapen my vocation... if someone isn't good enough to work in real books, stoop down to work in those 'funny books'.

Seriously, though, she is right. Maybe your pacing or narrative leanings are tailored more toward sequential art or some similiar format. Wouldn't hurt to try it out. You don't have to be an "artist" to block out some panels with stick figures or basic line drawings and see whether or not your stories flow better in a format such as that. If you mess around with it, the one bit of advice I will give you in advance is this: Use your gutters wisely. The gutter is the space between panels. In that space is where your reader becomes co-writer. In that space, if you utilize it wisely, is where the reader determines how fast the action happens between 2 images. Or where a punch lands if you only show someone knocked out in the second image. Or where a blaster bolt hits a ship if you only show the ship falling from the sky after seeing the cannon fire. If you have any writing skill, whatsoever, and understand pacing & gutters, you can possibly reformat any/most of your ideas into comics.

 

Many 'Truncated' posts were lost in the move sadly, but seems this pleases you, so thats a good thing then!

 

It was like some sort of providential unbiased editing. Whatever is left of it is what you need to begin reworking from...

 

Yes, start with the same plot and re write!

 

They Admins are working on it, but at this stage, no. Sadly we did ask people to save fictions etc to their own computers just in case and unfortunately the just in case happened. As far as I know, they are still working on fixing this problem.
