Tiger Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 We do. But it will be worth the wait. I suppose for now, we'll just have to delay our gratification.

BeaStKid Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Awesome chapter. Roller coaster of emotions! I loved the part about Caprican being evil and all... I have to agree with Gary about the homage part, though.
C James Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I'm late, but caught up! First, let me say, Raging tiger? Cool!
Tiger Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I'm late, but caught up! Well, I am glad you took the time to read it. I have had a lot of fun writing it! First, let me say, Raging tiger? Cool! Yes, I first made an evil character based upon my own online persona. Laser beams!?!?! EVIL INCARNATE?!?!? I do believe torturing someone by shooting laser beams at his/body would make the perpetrator evil. Do you disagree? But, ummm, I'm afraid there is a very serious flaw in the plot. Ya see, you have a goat near a CLIFF! Everyone knows that a goat would NEVER have anything to do with a cliff! Yeah, and neither of us would ever kill off a sweet and innocent character either! Uhoh... And, um, taking the head of the mutant goat? ACK! That has not happened. There has been an allusion. Hrmmm, So Jan is 250? Loved the humor, and the story is very well-written as well! Looking forward to twelve! And, um, the poor goat is innocent after all, right? Evoloids live to be around 500. That makes the chracter middle-aged.
GaryK Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I howled with laughter at the taking the head of a mutant goat. I got the joke immediately. I even made a crude/funny comment to Tim about it. I'm glad you read the story CJ. It's certainly one of my favorites. So when does Tim get to be a HA?

So when does Tim get to be a HA? as soon as he finishes DA trilogy... *A not so subtle hint to get him to get cracking on his writing*
GaryK Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) as soon as he finishes DA trilogy... *A not so subtle hint to get him to get cracking on his writing* Hey, Chapter 12 is almost done. I think there's just a few chapters left in part one after that. I've heard it's gonna end with a really twisted and evil cliffhanger. Edited March 18, 2008 by GaryInMiami
Site Moderator TalonRider Posted March 18, 2008 Author Site Moderator Posted March 18, 2008 I'm the one who suggested a name change for the goat character. Some how Caprican seemed a much better name. Hrmmm, So Jan is 250? lmaosmiley.gif Evoloids live to be around 500. That makes the chracter middle-aged. smile.gif And I don't look a day over 100.
GaryK Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 It was an excellent suggestion Jan. Much better than what he had in mind. I guess we'll be getting a new chapter to do our own thing with fairly soon. I don't know about you but the anticipation has me quite excited.
Tiger Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 as soon as he finishes DA trilogy... *A not so subtle hint to get him to get cracking on his writing* It takes time. I am not rushing myself. I have been working on Chapter 12. I will try to finish it soon.
Tiger Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 You can't rush quality. You should know that BK. It also requires inspiration. These days I am more inspired to fill the roll of reader. I am not just here to be an author.
GaryK Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 It also requires inspiration. These days I am more inspired to fill the roll of reader. I am not just here to be an author. Fair enough. I know you're not ignoring DE completely. And yes, it's nice to take a break and do some reading. But IMO once you start a story you have an obligation to your readers to complete it. In this case to complete part one of the trilogy. Then you can take a break, do some reading, maybe work on SC a little bit. I'd love to see more of your poetry. And then come back to DE and get several chapters ahead before you start releasing them so you can stay ahead and release on a regular schedule. You're not too wild to be tamed. And I'm the Tiger Tamer.
BeaStKid Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 You can't rush quality. You should know that BK. of course... i, of all the people, should know that...
GaryK Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 of course... i, of all the people, should know that... I know you do. But let's get serious here for a moment. Hopefully without offending or picking on Tim. Do you feel an obligation to your readers to finish one novella before starting another?
BeaStKid Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I know you do. But let's get serious here for a moment. Hopefully without offending or picking on Tim. Do you feel an obligation to your readers to finish one novella before starting another? Indeed I do. That is why my other novella, A Kiss Will Set You Free, is on hold at the moment. Now you'll say that why did I publish the prologue of AKWSYF? Simple...I had the worst case of writers block with AaO and Beast was constantly pestering me to come out with AKWSYF...to pacify him, I had to write it don... I like to finish my ongoing works before starting a new one. It helps keep my mind sane, and the plot-lines consistent. Also, the readers of my 'other' story are not left hanging if I pay attention to just one at one time. AKWSYF is an exception, though. A one time exception.

I paused on Second Chances for that reason. With Dark Earth, I often need to be in a certain mood, especially when there is an impending fight.
GaryK Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I paused on Second Chances for that reason. With Dark Earth, I often need to be in a certain mood, especially when there is an impending fight. Since you used fight instead of battle I'm guessing this is going to be something more personal. That's the kind of character development I love.
Tiger Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Since you used fight instead of battle I'm guessing this is going to be something more personal. That's the kind of character development I love. Well, it may be more of a war between two people.
Site Moderator TalonRider Posted March 19, 2008 Author Site Moderator Posted March 19, 2008 And I don't think it's too hard to figure out what two.
GaryK Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I was trying to be discrete. Yes, I already know that and who the battle will be between. The only thing I don't know yet is how they are going to resolve it.
Site Moderator TalonRider Posted March 20, 2008 Author Site Moderator Posted March 20, 2008 I guess you could say we have a mini-cliffhanger here. There are different ways it could end.
BeaStKid Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Okay! Now you've got my attention!! (not that you didn't have it before ) TEASE!!
