please wage your territorial war elsewhere.

 

 

Ah. Wonder how it tastes when it goes back in?

like blackjack and hookers.

I don't know that feel... =(

Do you speak from experience? I've always wondered what blackjack tastes like.

Are you sure you want to know?

That look on Trixie's face makes me even more curious. 

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

the central heat in this house seems to be dorked right now. which means no ability to bathe and me freezing even when in a wool sweater and jeans. hopefully the sun outside will warm me up...

[Starshine 16,333]

Hint: it tastes like cheap ink and glory

Try making some bonfire?

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

Try making some bonfire?

as far as starting fires go, i'm pretty sure i'll burn up someone's house first before i get warmth myself. :V

Well at least I know now.

I just started writing a new story! Here's a link! Just so you all know me better, I like writing, but I hardly ever have the confidence/determination to do it.

I'm reposting this. Read it guys! I've been feeling nervous lately, and I need to feel at home here.

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

apparently, it's not just us: there seems to be a leak in the central heating for pretty much ALL of the community i am living in. well it's getting fixed soon they said.

Can somepony show me a cute picture of a pony to help me sleep at the thought of?

You wake up, see this. What do?

Hm... The writing is pretty good, you handled everything quite well, but unfortunately I'm kinda at lost on what's currently going on. I know that they're marching somewhere and someone, presumably the protagonist, is having a problem with his hat. Is there a war going on? Why the heck are they marching? What kind of bloodshed? Why?

 

Yeah, that's the hard part of writing an original fiction, you have a lot of world-buildings to do :z

Unfortunately that's the problem of starting a story like this and posting it in a place where no one knows anything about the world I've made.

 

I have the world in my head, and the framework for the world is there. The only reason I didn't include all the world information in the foreword is because it would be a lot to read. I might include some of it in there, but I want the focus to be the story and not the world's background.

 

Also I'm posting this chapter by chapter, and this first one was mostly an introduction. The second chapter will explain about the war being fought.

 

It's just that I've been really nervous lately, scared that I can't fit in here, and felt like I had to post this story as a way to anchor myself. Perhaps if some friends I make know about what I'm writing, then I'll feel more at ease like I belong.

Get a short heart attack before recognizing it as a pony. Then, I'd make her stop. Afterwards, I'll try my hardest to figure out why people love her so much.

Haven't posted here on the GCT in a while.

 

How are you cats doing?

 

 

At least my spelling here is better...

Typically, it's best to give some hint of the world and slowly reveal it over time. At least, that's how book I've read normally go.

 Why do you feel like that, guy? Maybe you should try to lay down some roots. Well, I guess that's what you're trying to do.

Oh come on, you're not that bad in the GCB.

Well, you'd only have to worry about Haven pointing out any flaws.

Very true

 

I need a new avvy. Rarity's face is squashed in this one and there's nothing (something that I don't want to) do about it.

 

Any ideas?

Is anyone afraid of needles? If you are then this will probably give you nightmares. Even if you aren't it might have the same effect.

If it's messed up, I can fix it. Just lead me to an image you want to use.

Dudeeeeee... You don't need to be an artist or a writer to fit in here. You don't need to do anything special. Just be friendly and I'm sure everyone will accept you nicely.

Tip: Start with a corner of your world that doesn't need much information, and use the character's interactions to explain your world. Plunging straight to a scene that is a part of something big (like in your work, a war), is very hard to do without getting the reader tad confused. Try with the soldiers starting out in the barrack, give them a scene that basically tells the reader on where they are, what nation they are in, what kind of war (evil vs good? just your usual war for territory?)

 

Or... you can just use the current chp 1, but give the screaming rat with glasses more speech role, have him reminding the Singer about why his country/kingdom needs his service. That's a good way to inform the readers on why they are marching.

 

 

And thus the 12th sub-column of the 25th column of the 3rd Army lead the march towards Higgsby Hill over which they would reach the column’s camp and prepare for the next day’s bloodshed.

And this part, you can have the Pike Goodforth do the speaking. To put more emphasize that he is indeed a man with higher rank than Singer.

Okay, I need my rest. Goodnight folks.

That particular needle point looks too big to penetrate skin, but I'm sure it would be able to give a nasty bruise.
