Post Here: Your Kudos and Comments to the Stories Written

[Anaris]

Oh, that Vox story was hilarious! 

He said "NO! Just stay put and they will have an easier time finding our corpses."

"Corpses?! I'm not even DEAD YET!"

[Anaris]

Bou!  Oh my goodness, that "Forbidden" story got me all flustered and I'm at work!!

*fans herself to cool off*

Well done, lady!   

[Jezerai]

Your story is very unsettling and well-written!  Thank you!

[Vorenn]

Thanks, I'm trying to be tasteful with everything, not be overly stereotypical (which is nearly impossible to avoid when doing fantasy stuff really), and yet still tell a decent tale.  Hopefully I'm balancing it, but it's hard to make this a condensed version...I could easy have made each vignette it's own chapter in a book.

Kindly tell Jarith to hurry, I'm dying for more!

[Vorenn]

Right, I am now starting to put Trial of Fury ingame- for anyone who wants a copy of this for their libraries, please just get me whatever book you would like it in and I'll copy and paste accordingly.  Any further story will also appear ingame - and I'll probably now have to keep copies myself so I remember what it is I actually wrote.

Cheers.

Well written, Eliezer of Erudin, and the closing sentiment was a special touch.

[Anaris]

Very well done!  Very Jystana!   

[Anaris]

Awww Baby Borus!  Great job, Bou!   Loved the dramatic letter-burning ending!  I bet Missa always wanted to do something like that, it's very romance novel-esque, Missa's favorites!

Re: "Soul Searching"

Nicely written, Bou. A great reflection (if you'll pardon the pun) on the whole concept of some of the less savory souls.

I'm loving these SWTOR journals/stories. If I can't be playing with you all in game, I can use these to fuel my falling-asleep musings and dreams.

Vilidius--So amazingly entertaining. I just want to hear every sordid detail of poor Vilidius' debased tedium. I feel so guilty laughing at his plight. Can't wait to see how the hairy robe comes out.

Tanar-Re--I love a good gambling story. Is Galaxy your own invention, or is it part of the SW universe? Very nicely thought out. I also like the references to "Pops". It's good to remember that while Han may have been a solo artist (pun intended), many smugglers are not. I love the hard-boiled tone, too. I think the noir-ishness of smugglers are one of the major things drawing me to the class.

More, more, I want more!

[Vilidius]

Thanks Mixxi!

I'm getting quite a kick out of writing the backstory on this guy.  I doubt it'll ever get old.  It's a simple enough concept and it's sure been done before, but there are layers of it still to be explored.

I'm almost embarrassed at the scope of what I'm doing, by contrast, to Tanar-Re.  I know it's not a contest but that's quite a narrative you've got happening.  I haven't even absorbed it yet.  Read it on my blackberry the first time and it needs another pass.

Now I'm off to read your first entry too.  I think we've got a great start to things, and we're building a library I wouldn't be ashamed to stand on as our guild's advertisement to the TOR player base.

[tanare]

well i'm glad you're both enjoying it so far. this was sort of an attempt to get a grip on Tanar personality wise. i might be going a bit oo jade since this is when he's just starting out- though i only touched on it early about him going solo for only a couple months. he's about 19ish at the time so maybe i need him to be not quite so much of a hard case just yet   

or i can pretend he's trying to act older than he is to show off since he's up against folk a lot older than he is in the card game. holochip game! i said chip not card!

and yes Galaxy is something i completely made up though it's pretty much based on poker. i couldn't think of sabacc at the time and wanted some sort of card/chip game (you don;t know how many times i had to go back and keep changing "card" to "chip" for this- like the previous paragraph). only real original part is the black hole card- sort of like a double wild card.

i noticed as i kept going Tanar was starting to slip into a bit of an old west gunslinger type (shows up more later on in the tale) but i think that'll work for him. would have posted a bigger chunk but i wasn;t sure where a good cut off for the next part would be so i figured that was a good enough stopping point for now.

haven;t had a chance to read anyone else's yet though. need to catch up when i get a chance.

Vilidius,

Nice story. Good and gritty. Kipper reminds me of Sven Tveskoeg, the anti-hero from David Gunn's Death's Head series. I like the name "Kipper"...that way when you die in an operation we can cry out in our best Knute Rockne, "Win one for the Kipper!"

[Vifi Sunfell]

I don't RP on boards very often, so I'm certainly looking for comments, feedback, encouragement to Vifi Sunfell - Pernam Minor  I like writing little bites at a type, probably because I prefer reading little bits at a time rather than 3-4 screens of text.

Also, if anyone has ideas about an RP I can do after the intro is done, let me know. 

I think I prefer to keep groups smaller and with a good deal of communication behind the scenes to make it less disjointed for non-participants.

I have no problem being in something for 30% of the thread - I don't feel that once a character is introduced in a thread that it means that character needs to be entirely present at the end of the thread. Think of it like a guest appearance.

[Gith]

I like the story so far. I like small stories, since there were so many small victories and defeats during these wars. My own thread is just some illegal arms being imported to the separatists on Ord Mantell, nothing too epic. I think someone just doing what they always do is a good way to get to know characters.

Given how seemingly random Val's travels are while he wanders the galaxy investigating corruption until the strand runs dry and he moves to another, Val is capable of popping in and out of stories randomly as he comes in to get whatever evidence he needs and then is on his way, so if you need people for a thread I can put in some posts.

[Vifi Sunfell]

Val is my best friend.


More coming later after I get work done.

Still trolling for more comments.   

[Jhared]

Well aside from enjoying the story, I think the way you split it up is kind of nice. It is like reading a forum RP. Personally I am much too paranoid to do that.

Re: Vifi Sunfell - Pernam Minor

I quite enjoyed those passages with Vifi's confrontation against the Sith!  Decent fight/action is one of the most challenging things for me to write.  Nicely done.

[Vifi Sunfell]

Thank you!  I appreciate it.  I have never been good at writing non-dialogue prose. So I've been taking a good deal of time to write each bit.


Hopefully I'll pen the finale tonight.
