Vlad, how is Mahtan related to the story? Is he the antagonist? He can't be the protagonist right?

>_> Just know that Halvtand and I have plans for some people. But yes, he is the Antagonist. None of your characters know this, however. I was trying to keep it a secret, but it's hard. I didn't know you even read my posts :P

I usually don't read posts unless they're connected to my character, but sometimes I skim through.

:P I usually have a lot going on, so it lets me focus on what's happening with my character if I just read the related posts. I've read most of yours however.

I read all of the posts because I don't know if someone has come across my character and if i ignore them then I've wasted lots of time. Have you now? Any thoughts?

Hmm, I think you should simply add more detail. Like in your last post, you did lots of 'Then he slept.' and just small parts like that. I mean, there has to be more to it, right? :P

I guess, I asked because I'm working on my next post right now and wanted to see if I should do anything different, I'll try and add more. I guess I don't because my writing teacher always told me not to add too many details because it becomes over loaded, but maybe I add too little? I'll work on it then.

Melkor:
First off, I too think you're a bit too spartan in your writing.

Second, there is no real rule that decides when you have "too much" or "too little" detail, it's all down to your personal style. I've played with people who won't write any internal dialogue or thoughts at all, and people who've spent whole paragraphs writing about how they chew a piece of gum. The most important thing is to fit in. If everyone else in a game is doing something, you should too, otherwise your posts will seem out of place.

You shouldn't be worried though. You're a good writer and very clear with what you're doing.
Much respect to you for asking and listening to advise.

Well I'm essentially mono logging because I still need someone to give me a post for the mid level demon I'm going to fight as far as looks and power goes. I have this whole sub plot for meeting up with everyone who's looking for relic weapons, but it needs to be after I fight the demon.

Just make something up like Melkor did with Bile. Hal said at the beginning that every demon is different with regards to power and how they augment there hosts assuming they have one and aren't a demon with there own body outright. Basically anything goes so just make something and it'll be fine as long as it doesn't look like godmoding.

It's not that we've gone quiet, we're probably just busy. I've been hella busy working on my songs lately xD Whenever I make a new one, I go silent for a day or two.

I'll agree to busy. My next post is all planned though. All I need is the free time to realy sit down and write it. Hopefully I'll have Seth in Astoria this weekend.
