edonil Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 And it's very much appreciated, let me tell you, Web. You've got some great ideas for scifi, I'm just not sure how well I'd be able to use them in my stories. The idea of a conflicted AI I really like and could see how to use, but the character Common Knowledge needs a story all its own, rather than being a bit player in mine, lol.

Webmonkey Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Of course,.. finding out who he is, would be the big "reveal", near the end of the story. I actually had some of this planned out for my "endless city" story,... ---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ---------- Common Knowledge just always sounded like a cool hacker name to me for some reason.

Mako Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I like story time. But Sophie is in a new project kind of mood, and I'm not sure I should encourage her. Plus I suck at reading people's stuff and commenting. Really, really badly. Lol How's the night for people? I'd go to bed but it's so warm and humid it's almost pointless...

bowchikawowers Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Minus the highlander reference sounds like an interesting plot. Why haven't you written it? Not enough time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Let me jump it up to the top of the story thread,... I actually started on it.

bowchikawowers Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'm in bed, just stalling. Gotta get up crazy early tomorrow, muscle failure pt, then work on aircraft all day with people, then hang out with my grandparents all evening. Tomorrow is going to be a mite rough... And I don't want to deal with it. ---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ---------- Where's the story thread?

Mako Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Probably more fun if you can work on people with aircraft. Though you may get in trouble for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmonkey Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 my problem always was in the "verbal" part of the writing. I tend to describe the actions and settings more then let the characters talk,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Heh, ennesby is go to take a fall some point again, I'm getting more convinced of it by the strip. I have to say, I miss Tagii...I liked her a lot as a character before she went nuts. Keep hoping she comes back to her senses... :/ Not necessarily a problem, Web. A lot of old scifi was like that, and there's still a market for it. I wish I could work on describing setting more, I've never really been good at it. Probably going to need to devote a chunk of time to doing just that so I can practice, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 She seems calmer now she's only got part of ennesby's processing power, and is stuck with only him for company. But Tagon won't be pleased when he finds out I bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
