Friday Fiction — Diary of a Dreamer

By | October 30, 2009

((A silly conversation with the Nekkid Cow about two very different Mervyns — the Sherriff of Rottingham to him, the Pumpkinhead to me –lead me to the realization that you could, if you wanted to, roll a Merv Pumpkinhead in WoW.  All it would take would be a staff-wielding Forsaken (for the Farmer’s Broom from [...]

The Difficulty of Consistency.

By | October 27, 2009

A good friend of mine, Bearesta, and I were talking about Rosie-The-New-Rogue the other day, and she was commenting on how Rosie’s RP has been slightly inconsistent since her inception, and how ‘it’s to be expected, Adel took me six months to get straight’. At first I wasn’t sure if this was some huge failure [...]

The Slow Reveal Revisited

By | October 26, 2009

A few months ago I talked a bit about the slow reveal, which can be summed up as “Don’t go spilling your deepest darkests in the very first scene.  Give people a reason to care about them (and your character!) first.” But what happens when you’re on the receiving end of the infodump?  How do [...]

Post Magic Incoming

By | October 22, 2009

So the post didn’t really happen as we intended.  As an apology, I am updating this post with a snippet of a story that I am currently working on. Please note I have yet to edit this snippet (if I did, I would have far less written). This scene involves Delion, who is the Wildfire [...]

By | October 21, 2009

The Wildfire Riders – Bellesta by *JRinaldi on deviantART Last week, Wrathgate Wednesday gave you Tarq’s impassioned speech–the moment in Wrathgate where damn near every Wildfire Rider thinks this battle is going to go our way.

Old Haunts: Agamand Mills

By | October 20, 2009

I’ve been running around in Tirisfal Glades the last few days, as part of a secret RP project that will be revealed within the next week.  In doing so, I came across the quests that bring you to Agamand Mills.  The Agamand family owned a prosperous farmstead, and when the Scourge came, they ordered their [...]

Remember Me.

By | October 19, 2009

((So a different approach to my blog post for the day, namely – if asked – what my girls would say if someone said “What do you want people to remember you for?” Their legacies would be utterly different, and I think it’s a great question to challenge yourself with.)) Yva: “That I learned to [...]
