Re: The Kings Diary. The
reason why he petered out towards the end, as you would know if you
read the messages, was because towards end game you are pretty much
unstoppable. Nothing can stop you and it would be a waste of time to
just write every year as he did before with just the same thing. Took
this province killed this faction etc. etc. |

Re: The Kings Diary.
Agh! Wordsmith, have you really been here for five years? And that was your first post?!
That's insane!
(Btw--I sometimes get bored and look at people's profiles, so that's
how I found it when you registered. But still, you're, like, and
uber-vet! )

Re: The Kings Diary.
Why the LOTR references...am I missing something blindingly obvious? (seems to be happening more
). Don't worry, this little beaut' will never slip away as long as I'm
here. I also have copy saved ready to post if it ever does slip away.

Re: re: Good to see people are
still reading this fine piece of work. I don't think Dave has been able
to work on his new project much - real world commitments (don't hold me
to that).
Maeda - bah! Since when did age come into it

Re: re: This is nearly a year
old now, I started it early Jan 04. Nice to see its still reaching new
audiences. Considering the number of views, over 7000 at the time of
this post, and the fact that Maeda and mablung are having to keep
bumping it, I rather think that it should be stickyed.
I remember one of the mods saying they wouldn't sticky it because I no
longer post here, seems a bit churlish to me and besides I still pop in
now and again. I would start a thread myself to get it stickyed, but
I'm far too modest, handsome and talented to do so.
@Maeda.
Thanks for bumping
@Leo.
Are you speachless or was the story so bad you dont think its worth the
trouble, or maybe your the strong silent type or just a little shy.
@genXrcist.
Thanks, your comments are my reward for writing this.
@mablung.
I'm back writing again, but its heavy going. Its not that I suffer from
writers block or anything like that, the problem with me is I find it a
drag sitting at the computer actually putting it down and tend to find
excuses not to.
I will perseveer though, I have to, since doing this story, writing has
become like a nagging wife to me. You know, like always there telling
you that you have something to finish or maybe its the voices in my
head. "Whats that mother? Kill the weird guy next door, the one that
keeps looking at me, very well it will be done."

Re: re: I know what you mean
Dave, I only write when I the fit takes me...or when I really am nagged
by others (and that really is a drag).
Look forward to your next work anyway.

Re: re:
hey dave still enjoy reading this. wish some of the story tellers on RTW would read this and try to get some pointers.
is it just me or does anyone else feel the RTW forum is full of too many rants and silly arguments?

Re: re:
Enough people have shown an interest in a story board that it will be up and running in a few days. When it's ready (Rules, space, etc), all story threads will be moved to their new home.
We're doing the best we can to give everyone a place for creative outlet. It won't be long and we think you'll enjoy the board.
Until then... Same team.

Re: re:
Hey Dave
Good to hear, or rather read, that you're letting writing push you
around a bit. far more satisfying than letting the wife do it.
Hope to see you in ink soon.

WOW!
That was a great read!
It took me a week to read it, but it was worth it.
Thanks Dave P for an enjoyable story.

Re: WOW!
Hmm, I just read it again and I do once again have to say that it really is a great read.
Quick question to the mods that I know are watching this thread. When
is ther fan fiction forum going to be operational? Its just that I have
an old bit of writing that is roughly related to MTW and when I tried
to post it in the forum I found that only mods were allowed to post
there. Just wondering. |

Re: WOW!
@Zelda12
Soon. My guess is probably sometime next week.
If this is moved, I would ask for it to be stickied. Too valuable to lose and would serve well as a model for others to follow.

Re: WOW! Dude I read this for
7 hours straight two day ago, and for an hour yesterday. Im at 1337 or
so, and I have to say the whole diary format makes it interesting and
simpler in the sense you don't have to worry about sub plot linking
narrative.
How long did it take you to do this? Did you brainstorm on paper, or
did you just type away? Did you keep notes after every turn, or after
every 5 or what was your strategy for bringing the diary together?
Ludwig.
