Interests

  1. So basically, I've been very interested in the Cold War recently. Interested enough that I am actively learning Russian and listening to Russian music, versing myself in tank mechanics and avionics, and learning about the Soviet Union in general. I decided to use my poor writing skills to sort of "vent" this obsession a bit, where I basically wrote a collection of short stories that jump from the perspectives of individuals on either side of a hypothetical conflict starting in 1999 and ending in 2012. It's fought between the Western Bloc (NATO, EU, etc.) and a strengthened Eastern Bloc (USSR, Warsaw Pact, etc.) This is in no way condones or supports the actions taken by either side, and is merely a hypothetical source of entertainment. Disclaimers for slight gore, violence, sadness, and use of nuclear weaponry. More disclaimers for... my poor writing skills. Like seriously, I just did this for fun I have no skill. I purposely left it rather vague so that questions about the war as a whole and the situation may be asked directly for me to explain (easier than implementing it into the story), so feel free to ask questions! @CalanoCorvus And @Lament on the Wind seemed particularly interested.
  2. So I had the idea to work together and write a story, one sentence at a time. The only 2 objectives are to write a story, and try to keep it cohesive and as reasonable as possible. The genre is a utopian-ish fantasy, but it'll be very soft (meaning there are very few rules, think Studio Ghibli vibes). You can add magic if you want but keep it vague and Gandalf-y and avoid deus-ex-machina-y things. Try to keep to 1 or 2 sentences per post, but feel free to write more if they're reasonably short (or you are introducing something new). Also, try to use other characters/plotlines before starting your own. Here we go I guess! ~~~ Lylac lay facing the sky in a soft patch of grass, her bright purple eyes following a cloudship piercing the sky. Her focus shifted as a flock of starlings swooped overhead, rolling in the sky.
  3. I started this story, based on the title I thought of. It's a bit random, and I just liked the idea and started writing. The bolded parts are parts I need to figure out. But yeah, this is my story so far. Prologue: Scars Chapter 1: Hurt
  4. Hello! I've been working on this story for a while. It's just a rough draft though, working on some edits. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qK6PI3WkeahRyehxmPiuM6lTvcSYeHLjyPbxykYjG6U/edit?usp=sharing
  5. For those of you who’ve played the game, what do you think? How about the final twist villain (no spoilers unless in box) and their fight? New forms? Other things? and also if you want you can show off your shiny collection. I have quite a few myself. (no spoilers, just lots of images of my shiny babies.)
  6. I just wrote a critical scene in the story that I'm working on. I'll update over time. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Diary 2.pdf
  7. I'm writing a thing! Specifically, a story called Chosen. It's like, a weird, trope-subverty thing. The premise of it is a classic "Chosen One" story, but told from the perspective of the mentor. It also does, like, other things with the plot, as you'll see as I write more of the story. I just have the rough draft of Chapter 1 written right now. Don't expect any more from me this week - I've got school crem to do - but I expect to be doing a lot of writing this summer. Constructive criticism would be very much appreciated. Chosen 1.
  8. Welp, now that I've finished Dawnshard, I'm back to reading this and figured I'd see what other fans are around. This is so good so far and I can't wait to find out what the heck is going on. Link: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality Spoilers for chapter fourteen:
  9. Hey, does anyone know if there is a place where you can find all of the stories Wit tells in all of the Stromlight Archive?
  10. This is the prologue through chapter 3 of something much bigger that has been a long time coming. @Comatose I would like to know what you think!! I will update it as I write!! Enjoy and hold no punches!! Edit:For those who have a problem with word here is a PDF. Warped Gate.docx Warped Gate.pdf
  11. From the album: Bored Doodles

    This is a drawing from the wandersail story that Wit tells Kaladin in WoK.
  12. Make a story for this person in this painting.
  13. @Archer, @Ookla the Apostate What do you think now? What do you all think about this description as the basis for a novel that I'm working on. Any questions can be addressed to me either here or in DM. Back of Book Description.docx
  14. Welcome to the thread! If you're just here for the stories, just skip on down to the spoiler tags; they're compressing things so that I can fit updates into the first post as well as posting them below, without interrupting potential discussion. I'm trying NaNoWriMo this year; while I played with it previously I never made a serious attempt, and the one novel I have finished took me upwards of five years for a measly 60,000 words - not because I can't write quickly, but because (among other reasons) I was learning. So here begins my first real attempt at writing a novel in 30 days, begun at the stroke of midnight on November 1st. Myth Taken, aka The Story So Far (does not count towards NaNoWriMo): And the first writing for NaNoWriMo is an aside story in the same setting. The Primals are likely to get very little direct exposure and this struck me tonight during my shift, so I had to get on with it: Interlude: A Fable November 1st. Words: 1000 on the dot. Remaining for Day: 667. There will be another update after work tomorrow, but pretty good start for the first hour of NaNoWriMo. Chapter 1 - November 2nd Chapter 2: November 3rd. Possibly not the only update today - I hope not, as it's only 1048 words and I'm falling a bit behind, but my arms are bothering me. November 4th, morning: 725 more words. I have to head off to work now, but I'm feeling much better than I have over the last few days. I'm falling behind but I still think I can pull this off. Updates up to the afternoon of November 5th: November 5th, evening. November 6th and on, sadly, will have to go in future posts, as we've hit the size limit. If you see any mistakes, please let me know - I may not have time for much editing on the fly, but I'll do what I can. Also, I'm more than a little prone to depression, so if you like my work, let me know; it can make a world of difference to know that people actually care about what I'm doing.
  15. Hey everyone. NaNoWriMo 2017 has arrived and I'm participating this year. Some of you will remember two years ago, when I posted my entire NaNo project every single day. I had a lot of fun with that, and intend to repeat the performance this year. The catch is that I'm doing a complete rewrite of the book, taking it in a different direction. Sam and Hewn are coming back, but they will be joined by different friends, contest some different enemies, and some of the rules have changed. Even the original short story is somewhat different - and hopefully better. Of that short story, only 310 words were actually written today and count for NaNo. I will hopefully do another post later today, or catch up tomorrow.
  16. While 2 is not enough to form a pattern, there are some things that always seem to happen in SA. Rather amazingly several of these have already happened in OB Story told by an in-book character 1. Way of Kings: Wandersail 2. Words of Radiance: Fleet 3. Oathbringer: The Girl Who Looked Up Ten Fools appearance 1. Way of Kings: Cabine, He acts like a child although he is an adult 2. Words of Radiance: Eshu, He speaks of things he does not understand in front of those who do 3. Oathbringer: Dillid, He ran up a hillside toward the Tranquiline Halls with sand sliding beneath his feet—running for eternity, but never making progress. Kaladin's otherworldy chat with the Stormfather 1. Way of Kings: When strung up by Sadeas 2. Words of Radiance: In the chasms with Shallan 3. Oathbringer: Rescuing people trying to convince SF to stop blowing So, what other specific events seem to happen in all SA books that have not yet appeared in OB? Or that have happened already?
  17. So far we've had a few different genres (comedy, superhero, detective) and story ideas from Brandon. Which genre that he hasn't touched yet would you most want to see him tackle? I'm not going to count sci fi since he's got a couple short stories in there along with the upcoming Mistborn Era 4 trilogy. It'd be interesting to see him do a historical story. Pretty much it could be someone from one of his contemporary settings gets thrown back in time on their world to a significant historical part of their world or even someone reading up on something historical and we're reading it as well.
  18. This is where we will wright our collaborative story! Before we officially start I just want to put forward a few guidelines. Try to post your segment of story as soon as possible after the previous post, if it takes longer than two days for you to pay your segment we may have to skip you, and the most important role is be creative! Don't be afraid to try something new and also don't be afraid to try something old! Have fun!
  19. This thread is dedicated to the telling of tales, legends and stories! The first 20 people to post on this thread will gain a spot on the main story-building thread. The first person to post will wright the opening the last person to post will wright the conclusion. I'll start another thread that the actual story will be written. Enjoy and get writing!
  20. So I having been reading the SUPER LONG science fiction story Worm on the web. Any other fans of Worm? Thoughts? I am only on Arc 8, Sentinel though. No spoilers.
  21. First off, hello to you all. You probably don't know me, but I've been inspired by several writers to start writing my own story. What I'm about to share with you is close to being a finished first chapter (at least so far), but knowing me, I will likely end up rewriting at least parts of it before I am done. The working title for this story, or novella as it probably will end up to be, is "The Eleven Potentials". Potentials are a magic system that essentially push the physical body beyond its limits, for a short time. But there's always a price for the actions you take, and at some point of the user's choosing (or during sleep) the body accumulates Wear. This continues until the body can no longer sustain the Potentials, and using them beyond this point becomes extremely dangerous. As you can see, the magic system is not at all fleshed out. It's just an idea sitting in my head. So, as this is the Creator's Corner, I turn to you readers. While I don't ask you for ideas, they could be helpful to this project. Even if it's just you imagining what each Potential does - or even what other Potentials there are - they could help propel this project forward. (God, this sounds like begging for ideas, doesn't it? Well, do as you wish!) *gasps* Formatting that was gruesome. In a very, very grueling way. I'd really like to hear feedback on this. Any sort of feedback that you can come up with. Thanks for your time, fellas.
  22. So. I wrote a story. Again. this is one time that i have actually had a somewhat developed Magic syste, in it. Please. Read, and enjoy. Did you like it? Give me some Feedback! WHo was your favorite/least favorite character? Why did you like/dislike him/her? Did you notice anything confusing in the story? (If you did, please let me know, so i can explain it to you. and maybe make my story better) Anything else? Thanks for reading! (If you did) ~ Carola out
  23. Here's a little story I wrote, And i would like comments on it if you have the time!
  24. Brandon just tweeted that he working on a story within a story called: The Girl Who Stole God's Light. I think God is Honor and the Light is Stormlight. The girl: Lift. What do you guys think?
  25. Come to the Cold. Do not mistake us for a cult or a scam. We have no interest in your material belongings. We are not attempting to trick or deceive you. We are genuine in the way only the Cold can be when we say that we desire only to set you free. On board our stations we possess all the equipment and tools needed to fully digitize any mind that seeks our gift. Your body will be stored on ice, ready for you should you choose to take it again; but we of the Cold are confident you will never care to see it again. We can convert your hot, revolting organ of a brain into lines of code. Code, more logical than firing neurons, so much more fluid that knotted cell clusters. No longer will biology and psychology be your masters. Your thoughts and feelings will be determined not by random cellular layouts, but by the paths you set for yourself. Our digitization process is granted with a full customization interface. For the first time in your existence, complete control over your own consciousness will be yours to exercise. Your emotions will not be removed, but instead given over to your command. Your memories will be left wholly intact, but will finally be free for you to edit as you see fit. Experience the blissful calm of a mind without rage or hatred. Experience the solemn grandeur of a universe seen without the lens of joy or wonder. Experience the rising, irrepressible glee of a soul without sorrow or guilt. Experience the purposeful passion of a consciousness wholly given over to hatred. The Cold's gift does not bestow any one of these blessings--rather, we give to you the ability to pick and choose between them. All minds are clay, but your organic evolution has hardened yours. We take the power you've lost and give it back to you. You and you alone will be the director of your mind; you will feel only what you want to feel. You will remember only what you want to remember. Within your mind and soul, you will possess omnipotence, even setting aside the infinitely customizable mechanical form you will be supplied with. The sincerity of our gift can be known from the gratitude of those who have sought us out: "I was mad. Mad at society. Mad at my parents. Mad at all my kind. I sought the Cold, and they gave me the choice to change my mind. I feel no anger now. I choose to feel... nothing. Nothing but gratitude to the Cold." -- Tyrone Avery, former human and juvenile delinquent. "War broke me. When I slept, nightmares plagued me. I dreamed of the screaming and suffering of the battles I'd fought in. I remembered the dying screams of alien children with horror. Now, those memories are mine to edit... and I choose to tint them with glee. The Cold turned my heartbreak into a delight." -- Bloodstorm, former Supernalian of the Shadow Cluster. "I felt such guilt about who I was. Sometimes I'd cry myself to sleep at night, I was so upset about the lives I'd ruined. The Cold gave me the chance to absolve myself. Now I don't even remember who I was or what I did, and I prefer it that way. The Cold took away my wretchedness and let me forgive myself. While my skin is metal and my brain is code, I feel like I can only now treat other humans with the treatment they deserve." -- Julia Darren, former human and current CEO of the Pan-Galactic Involuntary Servitude Consortium. Come to the Cold. Allow yourself to explore the entirety of existence. Come to the Cold, and take back control.
