Fan Fiction for the City Scoop!

Well, essentially, what I'm saying is that you've got a great beginning, but the story is currently waiting on "He went hunting..."

So... Hearing that you're getting inspired again... Coolness!

EDIT...

Well, Sam, all I need is a link to the work. I'll read it, consider its Scoop-worthiness (which, from your prior works, I figure it will be), and I usually use the first paragraph or so for the introductory portion of the Spotlight.

Alllll right, you got me going on him again. Seeing as how I recently respecced him too, heheh, need to update his Virtueverse entry as well.

For Mars! And the Spotlight!

Scooped!

Thanks for the spotlight, Mr. Grey, and the review too!

Now to sit down and actually write something else... I have so many things in my head for different characters, and lots of notes and remarks and pages, yet I rarely actually go and finish any of them and put them into viewing order. Go figure

I see it, Blue, but I'm giving it some more space between it and Kat Scratched.

Thanks for the spotlight, Mr. G. I suppose I better get the story rolling along. *heh* All the hand-waving is just about out of the way now, anyway.

The Cult of Mu

Catching up on an old thread that I got to participate in. Excellent read for scary rainswept nights, very macabre. Averic's the mastermind behind it, but I got a few good ones in.

Hm... Not sure how I should approach utilizing Roleplaying Threads or even if I should. Last time the Scoop did one, they used it as a main feature, and that was Whitmoore. I'm not sure how well that would fit in with the fan fiction concept, especially since RPs tend to go WAY out of the scope of the canon.

However, there is some pretty serious debate that goes on in them, too. Backstory discussions, mechanics translation, and other stuff I can't quite put my finger on right now are all hashed out pretty fiercely by RP groups, largely because they deal with the moment at the moment.

Hm.

I think I'm thinking something, but I'm not sure if I've thought it out properly.

Well, honestly though the Cult thread was open at the beginning there really weren't too many outside contributions that lasted. Av was certainly the main force and I was adding things near the end. If that means anything to ya...

Thank you, Mr. Grey, for an exceptionally flattering review of my little effort. I hope I shan't be keeping anyone waiting for the sequels too long.

P.S. *smirks* For some odd, obscure and completely incomprehensible reason, I do enjoy your forum avatar.

Wrote some fiction for my main character several months back, figured I might link to it here and see if it could be published. Anyways, here it is:

Ok...I have a question.

As I posted over in the Architect Stories and Lore section, I am considering posting a story I've been knocking around for a year or so about the Fall of Astoria, but it's a bit extensive, and given the subject matter, darkish (no pun intended). I doubt it would be small enough for the Scoop, though I intend to do it in a series of posts, and it doesn't feature the characters I play in-game.

Would it be appropriate to post it in this thread, in the Role Playing forums, or any part of the COH forums at all?

Thanks!

Don't post the story in its entirety in this thread, post a link instead (the forum utilizes ubb code, so to post a link, you need to type [url =] without the space and with the link after the equals sign. Then you type out the phrase you want to work as the hyperlink, then type [/ url] (again, without the space).

If it's tasteful, without a lot of coarse language or disturbing imagery, you can post it here on the forums. Posting it here in the Roleplaying section will ensure it doesn't wind up lost to the forum cleansings (as would happen in, say, a server forum).

I suppose the 'disturbing imagery' is where I am slightly concerned. It's Dark Astoria, and the events that lead to its formation are, by definition, pretty much on the dark side. That's not to say I'm going to write something to shock or satisfy some urge to the macabre, just that it's hard to sugar-coat the story of an entire section of the city falling to the Banished Pantheon.

So, I should post the story in the Role Playing section as a seperate thread, and add a link in this thread for it? I don't have my own webpage, so that's how I was considering doing this.

Thanks for your help!

Ok, here is the link to the story I mentioned above. I'll post each installment as I can, assuming it continues to pass muster and doesn't run into problems with the moderators.

Enjoy!

Hello all, I'm going to be taking over for Mr_Grey for the Fan Fiction Spotlight, so I will now be looking over all your beautifully written fan fictions! I will be contacting the authors myself asking if they have already been featured for a particular story so it is fair and no one person is shown twice for the same story unless their has been major additions that the community MUST check out. I look forward to enjoying your creations! Write on!
