[hider=My Hider] I meant that I could not criticize it. The fIrst IC post might be something we could react to, like a description of what is happening where our characters are. The sounds of battle, or the calm of a House? Do we see something? Is someone talking to us? The more personal, real time events of the story where we begin. These things aRe not in the OOC so I think you could use them to write something. Like I might post something in response to a post like that (say that you post we're on the run and we meet straggled footmen of the enemy, I post that my character shouts "More foes ahead!" to warn our group and slows down slightly to unhinge his weapon as they engage.), while there's nothing like that I can respond to in the story you have in the OOC because that's more a "what is going on in the world" than "what is happening right here" kind of text. [/hider] :>. Is this the kind of response that was helpful to you?
