I'm just a bucket of ideas and no use for them :) so feel free to take any of that XD
The thoughts and ideas are linked to Cross so I can't use them anyways

CrossHatch 01-16-2013 11:31 PM

Hehe, well, I am always open to ideas. Kinda like I told Clock that somehow, CrossHatch will gain the nickname CrossPrime in his story thanks to Clock calling me that all the time now! XD And the sword Kirin sent me on here forever ago will also have a place in the story somehow, I just have to figure out how to work the stuff in there that it will actually make sense. *shrugs* I really need to be working on it all!!

The Wandering Poet 01-16-2013 11:33 PM

Yeah... I have that with my character... I have a ton of roleplay information about my character but he's still hard to write a book about... o.o why does he have to be so bloody mysterious!

CrossHatch 01-16-2013 11:36 PM

lol, My problem is more like, a lot of the ideas just don't really go together. Another problem I ran into, is figuring out the ages that the inventors would be... I hate math, so going back 127 years, about how many times would the inventors die and be replaced by someone else? I hate math and I'm lazy, which is why that minor detail isn't worked out... haha

The Wandering Poet 01-16-2013 11:44 PM

about 4-5 generations. Lets see...

Inventor dies at 80 has a child at 30 or so. That child dies at 75 and has a child at 25. That child dies at 62 and has a child at 34. That child dies at 88 and has a child at 22. The final 5th generation child is 16.

30+25+34+22+16
Total: 127

Feel free to use that as a template. That way when you add time you remove time and visa versa always keeping it at 127 but they would likely spend less time out in the world due to working on inventions and such.

OMG Poet... I love you right now!!! Solved so many of my problems!! XD

The Wandering Poet 01-17-2013 12:12 AM

What can I say? XD Nerdism runs in my blood. [lol] I was like "Ooh that looks like fun!"

Kirin Rosenbaum 01-17-2013 03:14 AM

Just letting you know its' there if you need

xuvrette 01-17-2013 04:32 AM

D: I go to the lengths of creating how planet orbit. XD
When creating stories and settnigs.

The Wandering Poet 01-17-2013 04:35 AM

Hahaha... I went total mapmaker on mine... drawing out areas the character wouldn't even know existed

xuvrette 01-17-2013 04:38 AM

:D Good! Cartographer!
I did a map for my nano story too! Have you seen it before?

The Wandering Poet 01-17-2013 04:48 AM

Sorry I haven't... but I have a crapload of notes from my first story. Every time I got writers block I'd start doodling the landscapes and such, the layout of the town, maps, interal writing that would be read, etc.

xuvrette 01-17-2013 05:21 AM

clicky clicky.

I like to do planning and creating things. from as small as bacteria to as huge as universe. <3

The Wandering Poet 01-17-2013 05:22 AM

Another image shack user omg :O

[drool] That is a gorgeous image

xuvrette 01-17-2013 05:27 AM

It is super huge!
I didn't realise it until I upload it.
As I need that level of detailness for my future illustration of towns and villages. DX

The Wandering Poet 01-17-2013 05:34 AM

I noticed I zoomed it XD
What did you use to make that?

Kirin Rosenbaum 01-17-2013 05:39 AM

*wanders in and curls up in the corner*

xuvrette 01-17-2013 05:44 AM

Photoshop. XD GIMP can do the same too.
There is this cartographer website, have some tutorials to make the atlas colourful type map too. Very interesting. But it doesn't fit my fantasy layout.
By looking at my map, you would at least guess the setting is ancient time and rather fantasy... right?

Kirinrin~ not night over there?

Greed 01-17-2013 05:48 AM

That's beautiful! It's amazing xuvrette, and that is definitely the feel i get from it. :)

xuvrette 01-17-2013 05:52 AM

Thanks, Greed~ <33
I love mapmaking~ <3

Kirin Rosenbaum 01-17-2013 05:58 AM

I'm just frusterated.

xuvrette 01-17-2013 06:08 AM

Over what?
Calm down~

The Wandering Poet 01-17-2013 06:09 AM

Sorta olden times... at least given the age the paper looks not modern.

Kirin Rosenbaum 01-17-2013 06:16 AM

I tried to apply for a job online and it wouldn't let me.

xuvrette 01-17-2013 06:20 AM

... Is it the website problem? aww...

yesh~ I luv my map texture. However, it show traces of repetition. I still have a lot to do on it. DX Just have to find the motivation.
