Fusion X. Denver Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Ah shoot. I told?I don't get why I'd leave out others reactions though.Lyrics were a plot device to switch between what everyone was doing really.And Hollowblade was El's weapon in CK. I don't know if I should try to do a human counterpart for him because I never knew him and he'd probably be one of those characters that people would want an accurate characterization of or it'd be ruined.

Sploda Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 @FusionYou obviously never read the old CK thread throughly or the old FTK thread. Perhaps the second FTK thread? READ PERSON, READ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 That is true, a little research could do well. Also...hold on, lemee get ONE sentece with THREE tells. (yes there is one) “Fusion! There you are, you-” El stopped, halting in his tracks. Everyone who had stumbled upon the scene was frozen, unbelieving of the dreaded scene. The shock and despair hung in the room, like a humid blanket of misery. Also I would not be crying. I would be silently grieving. There was show too, so kudos on that.

Fusion X. Denver Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 You stifled a sob...it was quiet >.>And now I see what you mean. But I've seen figurative description like that last sentence in stories before so when IS it okay to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've seen figurative description like that last sentence in stories before so when IS it okay to use it? What DL isn't telling you is that sometimes Telling IS OKAY. Sometimes the feel of the scene can't be shown and must be told. I would know, my Creative writing teacher last year got angry at me for NOT telling enough.

Fusion X. Denver Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 So do telling when you feel that the general emotion or whatever isn't obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 So do telling when you feel that the general emotion or whatever isn't obvious? Yes, but don't tell to much. Just enough to imply the mood/feeling you want to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nah, DL didn't fail. It's constructive criticism.Though I want to hear from him WHEN it's okay to tell, though Creator explained it well.And what was wrong with listing people's reactions to it .__.

From the scene that they stumbled upon, having El stop mid-sentence portrayed the group's reaction well. Other ways to have done this was to have one of them bow their head, another turn away while the others rushed to Chris's side. This would have given just enough tell to show the reader how the group felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 That would work. So I'll try doing that for another scene.If need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 That would work. So I'll try doing that for another scene.If need be. Just grant me one of two requests: 1. Make Creator at least SEEM more human by actually having a relationship (you know the type I mean).2. DON'T kill me off in the chapter before the last one.

Clair (Andx would kill me, then bring me back for others to kill me)3. Anyone related to Deus (I swear...)4. Some really bratty girl who is more beauty than intellect (remember Brains>Beauty but don't make her ugly as fu*k).5. No guys (That will require a house call for you from me, where I personally kill you and your family). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Oh No, it's fine to SHOW us the reactions, not telling us they were sad AS you were showing them. Rogue's reaction was the best, tho, since it didn't have much telling involved. As for the telling thing, Creator is basically right. MY Creative Writing teacher said "Remember, everything you learn in this class is a "shouldn't" not a "can't". You CAN tell, and it's actually good to tell one or twice in several paragraphs" And sometimes, there is nothing to it BUT to tell. I tell when there is no way out of it, usually because I am not good enough to SHOW the moment. But usually when trying to express emotion, or some feeling, showing makes a bigger impact. Also, I have told you it's sometimes good to tell for exposition, which is better than "As You Know" ALSO I have noted a LOT of your dialogue seems...a bit unnatural (I have noted this before) I mean, what's with Xazeon's "Have you two f*cked yet?" That's slightly funny, considering their reaction, but it feels WAY forced an unnatural. And that's one of the lesser things. I can slightly understand Cortez saying stuf like he does in battles...but talking about Marvel and DC in a battle is STILL pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 @DL1. Xazeon obv had nothing else to talk about. That happens when you get bored.2. What Cortez does actually isn't all that uncommon irl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
