Stormcrow Comments

Post by Luke Starkiller »

You said not to post in that thread so I had to make a new one to say that it looks interesting, very interesting. The writing styles gel very well with each other as well, which can't be easy to do. :)

Just wanted to add that Luke you did the exact right thing, this thread has my blessing if anyone has any comments about the unfolding story please feel free to add them here. If anyone has any questions re: the direction the story is taking, although this is a calaborative effort, this is basically Mark's story and I'm along for the ride. :D

It feels good to have someone else writing every once in a while.

I'd like to add that the thread would read better if you uncheck the "Add Sig" button when you post to that thread.

Will read through later, but maybe next time we could rotate people that play into it. I dunno.. In any case, I would still like to try a V:tM game again. I think it would be best to wait this one out, though.

Dalton has a great idea. Hey, Stravo, you mind catching them when we forget? (sigs that is)

I'm really psyched about the story. Mark has quite a wondeful style.

I'm on it now, I'm as guilty as the next. I'll keep an eye on the sigs.

This game's for the four of us. Frankly I don't see us rotating as it's for us. Part of the problem was some people wanted to mostly just chat and that wasn't as interesting. Other found that fun. The problem with it was just too many people involved.

If you want to start your own game you're welcome to. If it's private you'd need to run it by stravo.

Nonono.. you misunderstood.. what I meant was to rotate in different people so that different people could play it. I meant instead of having whoever is playing now, use a few different people. I could try my own game, but right now, I am not sure it would work too well. Personally, I found the last one boring, and took up too much time (hence only one post every two-three pages or so on my part). At first, it was fine, with a few members, but next time there is a game like this, I would like to play, is all I am saying.

It reminds me of a common practice over at SB.com, called "Story Debates"

Bunch of people get together and have a story, with each person contributing. Sometimes its planned, soemtimes it isn't. Nobody entirely knows with some. I've been in a couple, but they mostly fissled out.

You muisunderstood me again, but I'm having a hard time making myself clear. The next time one goes on (if there is another) other people than the current players would play. Am I making better sense?


Singular Quartet: We've contemplated a "Story Debate" (Round Robin, if you ask me) but it never quite made it to the boards..

I gave up trying to read it. It's too damn long for me to read without any breaks.

What do you mean by breaks? Breaks between posts?

Question for those who have read Stormcrow and New Orlean By Night. Do you like Joe better in first person or third person? Just wondering.

It gets a bit hard to try to read it, and I, for one, am not going to try to.

Yes, how is it hard?


Oh, and I think maybe we all should write in 3rd person. It'd make things easier when we put it all together as a story.

Hard as in length... I don't particularly have a whole lot of time, and it moves really fast, so it makes it difficult to try and read.

And third person would be good, if you try to put it all together.. it would also make it a bit easier to try to mesh the writing styles together, I would assume.

Yeah. That's why I wrote it third person for this. I just always see Joe as a first person style of character.

Just a question: Is there any one character that seems prominent enough to be able to write it in one character's perspective and in first person?
