Eminence Posted July 1, 2009 Author 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. People suffering from laziness need also not apply to the writer's block foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build Up Your Army Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Shouldn't this place be full of Zombie stories by now, I seem to recall many people claiming rights to ideas, where is the follow through?

Omnia sunt Communia Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I'm considering writing a British crime story (a la Snatch, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrells etc.). I don't want to give too much away incase I actually do get around to writing it, but the basic premise is: "A pair of Indian youths get involved in the wrong side of the London underworld."

Oxidizer Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 That sounds like it could potentially be one of the more original crime stories WD has had. I hope you decide to write it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnygorgeous Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I do get some which I really appreciate so thanks to those kind people who did take the time, I was disappointed that Our Thing didn't get a single reply cos I spent along time on it but I had tremendous ego boosting feedback to Wannabe Wise Guy, the only stuff I'm working on currently is BUYG for the Gembetti family which has its own conventions for feedback. But thank you for offering Lochie the offer felt almost as good as feedback itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnia sunt Communia Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I find it ironic that so many people want feedback yet very rarely offer feedback themselves. Give a little, get a little, yeah? It's a vicious cycle, isn't it? People don't want to give feedback because their pieces haven't recieved any and because of that the next person doesn't want to either because they're got none. All it takes is one kind person to drop some feedback and maybe we could get this ball rolling. I might try and read some people's story's tonight. I need some inspiration anyway. Though it's too hot right now to read/write anything. I can barely concentrate on the keyboard let alone writing a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you were advertising. You were blatantly saying that no one leaves feedback on your works and then you even named your pieces. Now, in my book, that's advertising. And you not having any grammatical errors? I looked through your 2 pieces and saw that you capitalize words like "kitchen" and "tag". Even in your post that I'm quoting right now you capatilized grammatical. So.. yeah, work on that, buddy.

Please don't feedback my Stories I have solely but not purposely 'advertised' on this thread. @ vinnygorgeous: It's ok man, I can finally see what writer's really think of my work.

Oxidizer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Tehe. Well, snuff anyway. I can't stand gore unless it's throat slitting or beheading. That said, and I know it sounds like a real arsehole of an attitude to have but it's not, but I only read things that I'm actually interested in. I literally can't muster up any energy to try and read something I'm not into it, and that's why feedback from my end is few and far between, because I have very select interests. Unless they're really original and/or unique, gangsters bore me half to death (real ones as well as fictional ones ) and that's the main line of stories that get pumped out around here.
