Hmm... I'm hungry. :u

sadrain 12-24-2014 04:20 PM

=_= My stomach is wired so that I always get hungry when others say they are or discuss food. Dammit.

Elirona 12-24-2014 04:20 PM

punch your stomach, Rain! [eager]

sadrain 12-24-2014 04:21 PM

Ugh no, that'd hurt.

xuvrette 12-24-2014 04:21 PM

I see, I see. I like it when people try to break free from the classic love triangle.
I am doing the same with ma story.

sadrain 12-24-2014 04:22 PM

Wahh, I've earned only 23 stamps today this far!

Hehe now I want to hear about your story!

Elirona 12-24-2014 04:23 PM

...I haven't counted how many stamps I've earned today.

Queen_Andais 12-24-2014 04:28 PM

Today is a totally munchie kind of day

xuvrette 12-24-2014 04:28 PM

hmm.. my story.
A witch. A prince. His knight. there. the triangle. XD
The Witch. The prince. A priestess. antoher triangle. XD in the same story.
oh well, the first triangle is not legit in a way that knight and witch are siblings.
I am too attached with the idea of one true love.

sadrain 12-24-2014 04:29 PM

For some reason, I decided to keep a very detailed count.
If only I knew the reason, lol.

---------- Post added 12-24-2014 at 06:31 PM ----------

So, who has feelings for who in both triangles? XD
Also, you might like the Once Upon A Time show then. It's ALL about the true love in the end, haha. Well maybe not all. But it's important.

Elirona 12-24-2014 04:31 PM

I like triangles.

xuvrette 12-24-2014 04:39 PM

Rainrain~ you read some articles about long parted siblings have high tendency to develop 'romantic' feelings to each other when they finally meet in adulthood? That kinda same effect. So Knight do have feelings, so 'deeeeep' he thought this is it. Instead of feeling, the prince is more to attached to a childhood memory that the witch resembles. Well, that instinct is correct, he did met the witch in childhood before. (laaaaaaame) Witch is not interested in romance, she had a plan. or should I say, her mistress has a plan for her whole life already.

As for the priestess, she likes the prince, a lot. But not in aggresive mode to get the prince. waha.
I made two female characters that are not all into romance. Gosh! I am just so addicted to this particular personality characteristic. In the same story, kinda feel like overload. lol.

sadrain 12-24-2014 04:43 PM

[lol] I have so many characters and only one is interested in romance and not even for herself, but to set others up, so. I think it's often cardboard if character is set only on romance, lol. And I see! That is actually quite interesting concept! For both triangles and general set of story.

xuvrette 12-24-2014 04:56 PM

Which is interesting concept?
ooo... what I explain is just the romance bit. I should tell the basic 3. Setting, CHaracter and Plot. I think the romance bit cover the characters... now to...

Setting. A make up fantasy land, obviously. 8 countries. West side is more Greek Roman, East side is Mongolian a bit. Character came from the smallest country, the country of metal, GOLD. Very rich. The most advance technology country just started steam engine, consider that the advance country is like 3 times more advance than the average, so the rest 7 countries are pretty primitive. Clothing and many living style still rather classic Greek and Roman. classic time where king queen prince princess matters. XD

Plot. Point is, the classic good and bad magic fighting each other. Twist is, I am stressing on the point that there is no good or bad magic, just good or bad intention, the user. That would be the target resolution of my story. Obviously the witch is on the other side vs the prince, knight, priestess.

sadrain 12-24-2014 05:10 PM

Well, I knew that was just one side and that already is interesting, but the more you tell, the more the world gains color and it really does sound well thought out.

xuvrette 12-24-2014 05:12 PM

In a way, I am doing the 'dangerous' stuff that many people are avoiding.
I am in a way, GOD MODDING my witch and her mistress.

What do you think about god modding?

sadrain 12-24-2014 05:39 PM

In game, it's inconsiderate.
In story... Any powerful character that can't be easily beaten is kind of godmoding.
I mean, Sauron, for example. Totally Godmoding in a sense. Except for one tiny flaw, one tiny issue. I suppose, all chars should have that, also in book, which should be touched upon and explored, but otherwise, godmoding in stories happen.

Shadami 12-24-2014 05:43 PM

I've earned 76 stamps total >.<

well i am just popping in to say hi. Good luck on the raffle everyone. I'm packing and heading for mom in laws for christmas. Be back in a couple days. Merry Christmas!!!

xuvrette 12-24-2014 05:43 PM

It does happen? god modding in stories?
Now that is news to me... :/

The first thing I shape my character, is to find its flaw. XD

sadrain 12-24-2014 05:45 PM

Take care and have a good time, Shadami!

Queen_Andais 12-24-2014 05:45 PM

Y'all are so sweet for posting and keeping my thread going

Mnemosyne 12-24-2014 05:46 PM

Oh boy! I have tons of homework to do today guys. Its going to be SO FUN o_o;

sadrain 12-24-2014 05:48 PM

Well, it depends what you consider Godmoding.
I think it is being nearly or completely undefeatable.
And also being able to take control over actions of others.
A powerful psychic in fantasy story can do that. He may defer all attacks sent at him, even set enemies against one another. It is kinda Godmoding in that sense.
But there still may be way to defeat him, so it's excusable. Especially if it's important for story, if they really are powerful and all that.

Mnemosyne 12-24-2014 05:51 PM

Godmodding is actually really annoying in stories as its become a popular theme for Mary Sues to be nearly indestructible. If Im not afraid the character is going to die every time they get into a fight then I am not really going to be that interested in the book. It's very unfortunate that this is the new route authors have taken. ]:

xuvrette 12-24-2014 05:52 PM

Moysnene... how come you have HOMEWORK?!

God modding to me is unbeatable. extreme confident in that. Maybe there are times when the witch does 'seems' to be defeat-able, but yeah, that was just a midjudgement on the attacking side. Yep, very powerful level for such young witch.
So, which is why I always felt the story/character are boring~ I am too self conscious too.
