Hey Erax, don't worry, you're doing very well without it- you have a different angle (good!), and I would hate to see you change it unneccessarily!

Besides, I must admit, I have tried my hand at screenwriting a few times, so I tend to be more comfortable with light exsposition and heavy dialogue to move a story along. I anm trying to work on that though.

I posted chapter 3, so I am looking forward to more customers for my dru- er, I mean readers for my non-addictive and totaly 'free' story.

And Ragnaork, you can run, but you can't hiiiiidee...

What caused me to start writing?
Obviously the earlier stories I've read here.
But also something that I though was funny.
One of my neighbours in a game wanted to make a trade, and I could accept that trade even though I didn't have what he was asking for, I though that was kind of sneaky and started writing:

WEYRLINGS 2403.4
================
"-Sire", the colonel was always afraid when he approached the God Emperor Ruatha, you never knew what humour he'd have, sometimes it amused him to chop off heads before lunch.
"-Yes, What is it", Ruatha answered impatiently, wifting his tail high in the air.

"-The Sons of Thunder has asked for a trade, they want Ice colonization tech from us, they will give us plenty in return".
The Colonel had his tail pressed to the ground in the humiliating ritual that the God Emperor Ruatha demanded of all subjects that approached him.

"-What is the problem then, make the trade"

"-But, but.. We don't have Ice Tech, Sire"

"-Well, do they know that? If so why do they bother us, anyway they should be destroyed, kill them all!"

But I'm currently thinking that the Last installment I made in NGC3 is the best I've made so far

I'm thinking of the line:

We stand with our feets at the edge of the abyss, we need to take a big step forward to ensure our safety. And that ..."

Ha, no.

Remember, it's not the size of your text that counts, it's what you say with it, and who you say it to, that count.

Oh yeah, a mild foot fetish dosen't hurt either.
