Parrhesia Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Long title is long. First chapter will be up soon. I've actually written chapters up to and including six, with some more things, but I'm just checking things now before I post everything and look like a pillock.

Thor Odinson Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) ... So I found this thread... Your writing is Epic win. Edited September 21, 2010 by Luminescent Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 In your own words. . . Stop overshadowing my story dammit. I'm still trying to decide where in the humor category this falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) I'm still trying to decide where in the humor category this falls. Well, I'm referencing a comedic thing I did in the past, making it a lot darker without retconning anything. Up to Chapter Two the only thing I've done is retcon the names Spalrance and Valange in the place of Splonch and Valango, and I made up for this by making Darren Tropenamer (who had been referenced but never actually shown) have his strong Gruen accent, which was mostly a GTA4 reference. A golden to anyone who can guess what I was referencing in said game. Does anything need clarification? A lot of things will become clearer later, but...

Thor Odinson Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) "You pillock." I love that phrase of yours. So happy when it made an appearance in C3. Edited September 23, 2010 by Luminescent Blade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 <3 Also, I know about the minor continuity error about dates I'll fix later...I need to make a timeline or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know~ I enjoyed writing that riot. I'll have to get Rejeck back into the script, somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Loved the chapter, as usual. <3 Oxcrusher's name made me lol. And the note at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yeah, in the Other Continent there is a SHITLOAD of magic, but mages there are frail and weak, like Raistlin. Magic has become very commercialised. On the mainland, mages are stronger than normal men, and usually fight in full armour with a proper sword...but they rely on an inner spark, which very few have. And yeah, I like to have a bunch of side characters who I can throw back into the script whenever I need; Rejeck is one, Oxcrusher another.

Thor Odinson Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 The mainland mages sound a bit like the mages in my manga-in-the planning. Where kids start swordsmanship at the age of 5 and is not afraid of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 You ain't seen nothin' yet. 'Sides, I might as well say now...there are three BIG strengths the otherlanders had that allowed them to conquer so much. One; discipline. While the mainlanders are a pretty tough fighting force, as you can imagine, they mostly fight as a mob. While they are likely better fighters, a block of spear dudes with shields who WILL NOT FLEE is pretty...hard to break. This is what a mainlander thinks about spear formations. To use this cowering-stick, I'd have to drop my badass sword of bashing things! Madness! Two; structure. As usual, there were various schisms within the mainlanders. Organisation was kinda an afterthought...given that their army structure was created by a dishevelled Chaotic Good warlord who broke the monarchy because he was pissed off, you can imagine this. The rigidly structured otherlanders were...somewhat better organised. Three is extremely important. And I don't intend to spoil it now.

Thor Odinson Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 SWORDFIGHT YEAH. Also, I got this weird idea about what "Cuttlefish of Penetration" is. Not particularily appropriate. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yeah, Cuttlefish of Penetration...I hope nobody ever uses it, it'd be a bitch to describe. And who was this perverted Skerrit asshole, anyway?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yeah. It's pretty safe to assume that someone without serious bardic influence is not gonna survive being pinned to a door by eight arrows sticking in her chest. Do I just like seeing Kaelin suffer?

eclipse Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 And I thought I was mean to my Lemmings. . .sheesh, that's how many times Kaelin has gotten cut up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Why do I feel happy whenever someone else physically types in the name of an original character of mine? Weird. Yeah, if he was in FE, he'd probably be a level six Blade Depository. Writing the next chapter...now, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 Gahhh...running out of plot. Had to cut the chapter 1,000 words as a result. Between 'em, this chapter and the one before it probably make up...well, a chapter. But with two quotes! Yay! And I have to do less work! Quintuple yay! ...I have a massive amount of buffer in flashbacks and quotes. I ... don't, with regards to the main plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 <3 Love the new chapter. I suppose the camp followers are women who followed the camp or something for certain purposes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 YES CERTAIN...PURPOSES THAT IS WHAT WE SHALL REFER TO THEM AS YES MM-HMM. ...Well, realistically speaking it WOULD build morale. So technically you could say our Chaotic Good Warlord Paragon Figure Guy In The Making -is- telling the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
