Oxidizer Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I came. Seriously though, good stuff Andrew. I just hope whatever that belongs to sees the light of day and isn't locked away in your dark, perverted mind. Thanks. I'm not sure exactly when it'll see the light of day, I no longer give myself self-imposed deadlines to complete things, but it should do eventually seeing as I'm actually working on it.

sam33 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I come bearing a (rough!) teaser: The flash of white-hot rage surged through him, his eyes darkening at her words. People only had one shot with Remy and this piece of dark gold had just blown hers. In an instant his arm shot out, his hand wrapping itself around her throat like a cobra, his grip tightening to hammer his point at home; his thumb pressed resolutely against her windpipe. "One wrong move and I break your neck," he snarled through flawless and gritted teeth. It needs a fair amount of tweaking, but it's better than nothing. Wow mate. Although you might think thats flawed I personally think its really good, some of decription in there is fascinating. Can't wait to read it XD.

Can't wait to read it XD. I'm glad you think so. That was from Bad Company, which I'm working on on and off. Though now I've got three more (miniscule) teasers for you guys from You're the Blade, which I've also gotten back into: Kenzie had the most amazing tongue she had ever felt inside her. The fact that Kenzie was only seventeen affected him not one iota. Even if the lad was a seventy-year-old man or a seven-year-old boy Rafe would still be violating him just the same. Yep. This one's gonna be dark with a capital D, and I also think that Rafe is going to turn out being the most hardcore villain I've created thus far. Rafe's eyes darkened. "Pay me with money, or pay with your body, that's up to you," he said with an unsettling calm. "But you will pay, Keller." The third teaser was written some time ago, but still.

Problem is, many wars are overused in fiction. World War 2, The Cold War, Napoleonic War. If you find an unexplored conflict you can use that as a backdrop to your story.

It was like Oh look another mysterious cold Eastern European ex sepcial forces assasin chasing down someone who is trying to trace back his past. Dont get me wrong the film had some good scenes in it but it was just way to un original. Seems like alot of Spy stuff is like that now a days.

But I want, more so than ever, to make a uniquely strong, original story. I'm having difficulty with just that Tell you what, I'll give you the basic idea I'm using for something of mine currently. I doubt we'll end up with similiar stories in the final product, so I'm just gonna say it: use a corporate conspiracy as opposed to a government one. Oil companies, energy firms, anything. You can have a corrupt person or persons in charge or in an executive position who has their own hitman (I mean, if normal people can hire one, why can't they?). Not just government agencies can form a death squad to accelerate their shady schemes. As for an actual storyline for it, well, that's up to you. Assuming you wanna use the corporation idea.

WolfMasterZero Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I like the idea of the main character being in a corporation opposed to the government. Show us a different side of the story. I finally got into writing, and after posting my BUYA story, I will do something hitman-like as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxidizer Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Word. There's quite a few underrated alternatives to governments and gangsters that people can use for the antagonists in their stories, plus it's a lot more original without them. Though I also look forward to reading some of your stuff! That aside, I got two more miniscule teasers for Bad Company: "Six K per op," Remy coolly lied. The only thing Sophia was getting at the end of this was a slit throat and an unmarked grave. The only common ground Remy and Sophia shared was that they were both as beautiful as they were deadly. Nothing more. ETA: And one more (this one's from the last chapter of AM): Unclipping the clasp of Kristy's portfolio, Dean opened the black leather binder to reveal an array of surveillance photos of a young black fella. "Who's the lad?" Edited June 28, 2009 by Oxidizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zilcho Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I'm really liking that idea Andy, I'm definitely going to incorporate the hitman side of it and your corporate idea may just be what I need to kick start the creativity. It also isn't too predicable, which is always a win. Thanks a lot. U R B A N I T A S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCRules86 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I have a new idea that is starting formulate in the twisted and assholish depths of what is known as my cranium but it is going to be a while before I put it up. With the new film Public Enemies hitting theaters I've gotten the idea to do a depression era bank robber story in the first person that will switch in between all of the different characters involved. It won't center around anybody in real life like Dillinger, Floyd, Nelson, or someone like that but original characters. The only problem I'm facing is that I'm not a 1930's period expert and it will be a while before I can get all of the guns/cars/locations and things like that down.

It also isn't too predicable, which is always a win. Thanks a lot. Glad to be of service. I've got one final teaser for you guys, and this one's actually a bit lengthy. It's a rough cut of AM's opener: "What's your poison?" Eyeing the time on his chunky white-gold watch casually, Dean Morgan supplied the bartender with an answer. "Tequila." Considering it was only a little past one a.m. it certainly didn't feel it. For some reason, what with the club being closed to the public, it felt as though it was later than what it actually was; aside from Dean, the only other person in the entire nightclub was Kristy, who went about unscrewing the aluminum cap off a chilled bottle of the requested drink quietly. Dubiously, Dean watched as Kristy placed a glass tumbler on the bar in front of him, its bottom knocking against the black plastic surface with a clunk. She tilted the famously branded bottle and poured a measure of its contents into the glass, the amber liquid splashing up against the tumbler's sides tantalisingly. Breaking the silence between them, Dean finally voiced his thoughts out loud, all the while looking at the woman behind the bar skeptically. "I take it this ain't a social call." It still needs a little bit of tweaking but I think I'm onto the right track with this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osric Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Does anybody remember the Time Crisis games? I figured an interesting Time Crisis story could get me back into writing again. I've been feeling out of it lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam33 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Dude I used to love playing time crisis in the arcade booths when I was younger. That was a pretty awesome game but Im not sure how you'd make much of a story out of it. I mean did it even have a story in the first place?.

Osric Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Yeah, the first one had a shallow story, but that was normal for a 90's arcade game. As Time Crisis moved to consoles, the story got deeper. Now it focuses more on the global manhunt for Wild Dog(who was just a henchman in the original Time Crisis). Yeah, it'd be a quick, but good story to get me back into writing for BUYG, BUYA, and writing in general. The fanfic would focus on Johnny Callahan, a new recruit into the VSSE(Vital Situation Swift Elimination, a NATO covert ops group), and his first assignment, to help a coup that will destroy the communist goverment in China and end the intensively aggressive world power and their corrupt goverment, as well as establish a NATO-sponsored goverment structured after the British goverment, with a democratic republic and a constitutional Han Emperor. Wild Dog's going to be in it because he HAS to be in it(This is Time Crisis after all!) and it is much deeper than terrorists kidnapping the President's daughter.

Eminence Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 If you're going to such lengths, why make it a fanfic? It just cheapens the whole thing. Make an orginal work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osric Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I'm not going to that great lengths, I decided on a fanfic because it's somewhat easier with a pre-set universe. This is more of a warm-up or exercise, to get me back into writing. I have been out of it for quite a while and I need something to get me going, so a fanfic will do for now, then we get better works. As for the lengths, it's not that great, but much better than the same old kidnapping story from the original Time Crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Goose Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 it is much deeper than terrorists kidnapping the President's daughter. ARE THEY KIDNAPPING HER TWICE? Seriously though, sounds interesting. Right, I've got a basic storyline for my TF2 fanfic. It'll star the RED team, and will be written through diary extracts. The main plot will be the Heavy, Scout and Spy stepping out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out the window. A while back in the old Writer's Ideas topic, I said I was going to write something called Graffito. I never did get around to writing it, but I am now before I start work on AloC to get me back in the groove. So watch out for it, my amigos.

Oxidizer Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Mine's been on ice since Halloween '08. Though mostly because I can't be bothered to properly plot out all the scenes; I only have a fair idea of what'll actually happen in it, though the overall storyline's pretty solid and unique considering the overplayed theme of zombies. But I'm focusing on my more serious stuff right now, so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsydianRaven Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I've decided to drop War within the Stars because I've been having severe writers block when it comes to writing the chapters. However I have been making a Star Trek story which will include one of the races I made for War within the Stars, and that race will be the Geckodons because I'd really like have them as Sta Trek villans.

I don't want to come across as rude but Writers Block is being banded about like it's going out of fashion. Just because you lose your creativity momentarily, especially about one story, doesn't mean you have writers block. U R B A N I T A S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
