Great advice, and as someone experiencing Writer's Block right now... this article was helpful.
-
This was some good advice on using tone, and words in writing sex scenes, and how it can make a story or break one.
-
Great advice. I've had a few scenes, in my stories, and I feel I always have messed them up someone how. I've toyed with the Idea of the 'Fade to Black' way of handling sex in a story.
-
Excellent article, and one that I feel should be read by everybody.
-
Great article, and should be a must read!

My initial reaction is to say, either rewrite it for a different city or delay posting it to the forums. However, I know some Texans who would chastise me for even thinking about rewriting or delaying it, because of the disaster. If you delay, is it going to through off the story, or timing of other projects?

It did for the Real Life people this story is based on. The characters will be back in a future story but will be 100% fiction on that one.

Interlude 4: Doctor Shane Thomas
Brayon commented on Brayon's story chapter in Interlude 4: Doctor Shane Thomas
Thank you!!! Yeah, that slimy weasel can slick his way out of anything. There is a lot more to Doctor Thomas, and what he knows. As the saying goes, "He's one of the guys, that knows where all the bodies are buried." -
Act 3 – War and Remembrance – Part 1
Brayon commented on Brayon's story chapter in Act 3 – War and Remembrance – Part 1
Thank you for reading, and for the comment! I'm hoping to have the next installment soonish, so the guys can get back to what they were doing. -
Thanks, jp. One or two more chapters, I see.
-
Thanks Moggie!

Heya. Thanks for asking. I wasn't sure when I was going to revisit this story, as I was using it to overcome a block on an Anthology Project and my two other stories. But the second chapter flowed last night, and my Beta Reader said go for it, so I ended up posting the second chapter. I might take it off of "On Hold", as I'm having issues getting over the block, and this one is coming easy.

All in a Day’s Work “So, how much longer are you going to be around tonight?” Demetrious said across the comm-channel. As capsuleers, they couldn’t speak due to being inside their liquid enclosure pods. Instead, the system used a synthetic voice, and text system to send over impulses from one pod to another, or from the ship to the station. “We have three more warp points to check out.” “Not much longer. After we finish here, I’m taking a Venture out to mine,” Marcus responded to h

Good luck in the new place. I hope it's a fulfilling, and rewarding time in your life.

I loved that Harry and Louis had that sexual tension, that neither acted upon. Aside from the kiss, of course, which was awesome. I can see them, together later on, if Don said he was fine with it. Granted he already did, but the way he reacted when Louis came home spoke of jealousy when it was his idea for him and Harry to hook up. I don't think neither Don or Louis is ready for a 3rd person to be in the picture. Missing mom, I'm wondering what she thinks about the boys fighting. Don't miss that hateful sister, *has the baseball bat ready to knee cap if she comes back* and hopefully, we won't see her for a while. Another excellent chapter, tim. You fraking rock!

Thanks, Moggie... I'm planning on just a few more installments, and will get them up soon. On Marcus walking around... Yes, he can according to CCP's official Lore for EVE Online. In Gameplay, they just took that ability away from us, because of poor implemnitation 6 years ago when it was introduced, and we may or may not get it back.
-
Thanks, jp. I'll do a few more installments, and try to make space combat a bit more fun than what Marcus normally does. Flies in. Targets Ship. Click the grouped Dual-150mm Railgun Cannons (4 cannons, linked as a fire group) The ship is destroyed in one volley.

Becoming a Capsuleer: An EVE Online Story “Are you sure, you want to do this?” The Clone Technician asked Marcus as he lay on the table, awaiting his death. “This is your last chance to back out.” The clone bay was teeming with life here at the Federation Navy Academy station for the Gallente Federation. He was among billions of citizens who, over the years, have enlisted to become a Capsuleer, an independent Clone, who is both Captain and Pilot of a starship. “I’m ready

New Eden, thrives on the backs of Capsuleers. Men and women who have decided to become immortal through the use of clones. They train, in order to pilot starships of various sizes and roles. Marcus is one such capsuleer, and this is his story.

What @northie said. The GA staff has some great Prompt ideas, and I have an entire collection dedicated to Prompts from that forum. BUT!!!! If you're looking for a prompt that's different from there, here is a couple: A. Space, the final frontier. These are the stories of... what in the world is that coming out of the ocean? It's monsters... from where? B. Laundry Day, in the college dorm room. Your roommate is a hundred times smarter than you, but you're practically family after being roomies for four years. They confess, this laundry day, that they are madly in love with you.

In dark times, Americans look out for each other. EDIT: jp. The Pic above is of a screencap from Twitter. In it is a picture of a line that wraps around a city block, with the caption, "This is Houston. Wanna know what the line is for? Food? Water? Housing? Nope. These people are waiting in line to VOLUNTEER. #Harvey"

I'm shamelessly going to plug my Blog post. What this topic and my blog post have in common is the same thing. People are too Politically Correct, and some readers can not let Entertainment, be Entertainment. So what if two characters have Unprotective Sex? So what if one is a Racist, or Homophobe, or Agesist, Ableist, Heterophobe, etc. it's for Entertainment. Not everything has to be some stunning critique on the Human Condition. To me, in America at least, we've become an overly analytic society, where everything has to be for a cause.

To me, when posting online, and in serial story mode, the length of a chapter needs to be long enough to convey the intent of the chapter. It can be as small as 500-1000 words, or as long as 10,000 - 25,000 words. It all depends on what you are trying to get across to the reader in that one specific chapter. Using my story Aeris as an Example. The first few chapters posted online were several story chapters put together because they were too small to stand alone, in my opinion. Now I write a chapter at a time to put what I want in the story out there for that specific point of the story. See Act 3 - Part 1 vrs Act 1 - Part 1.
