Forum Games / Re: The Spiral of Dreams.
« on: December 24, 2008, 09:07:50 AM »
Since I usually listen to audio adventures before bed, my dreams will sometimes pertain to those.  After listening to the Eighth Doctor episode Terror Firma, I dreamt up an invaded planet with an enclave of slaves, ruled by a squadron of Renegade Daleks.  A battalion of Imperial Daleks caught wind of that enclave of slaves and decided that if they couldn't have the slaves, no one will have the slaves.  So, an invasion fleet descended upon the planet, destroying the domed barracks and factories.  The Renegade Daleks immediatly began their counter-attack.  As the war waged, a group of slaves began sowing the seeds of rebellion...

Oddly, that plot matched various episodes of the Dalek Empire series (that I started listening to later) more than it did Terror Firma.  And on that note, after listening to an episode from Dalek Empire II: Dalek War, I had a dream pertaining to it.  Sorta.  Well, it had a Dalek in it.  The mutant burst forth from its casing, demanding the Hershey bar I had.

I also have dreams that have nothing to do with the audio that I listen to before bed.  One dream I remember rather well was one I actually didn't wanna wake up from.  In the dream I had an apartment.  It was a ratty hole-in-the-wall, in a bad neighbourhood in the bad part of a bad town, and my roommate was a total slob.  But dammit, I had an apartment, so I was happy.

I don't have any really recent dreams that I remember (or were really worth remembering).

Granted.  That wish gets horribly corrupted in a way you hope to never see again and will haunt you for the rest of your days.

I wish I had some yummy nummy Belgian chocolate.

I have five pages of outlines, notes, research, quotes, scenes, two endings, and several scrapped plot ideas.  Perhaps after a good night's sleep, I'll be able to get this one part to segue into the next part.  Right now, my brain is dead. x_x

Granted.  It malfunctions and sends an EMP throughout the house, frying all your electronics.

I wish I was better at coming up with decent cohesive plotlines...

Seeing as how I did get a few things early, here's what I got so far:

A sonic screwdriver.
A Star Wars t-shirt with the Japanese poster art for A New Hope.
Melamine sauce dish and spoon good luck decorative item.
Addidas Pure Lightness body spray.  Smells quite nice.

In two days, I'll reveal the rest of my loot.

I like to do extensive research on my fanfics prior to writing.  Make sure I'm getting things right. 

Though, no matter how much research and preperation I do, I can never seem to finish a fic anyway.  Not unless my plotline is clearly mapped out, including sub-plots.

Yeah, and taking notes can get distracting.  Well, basically how Burroughs writes fight scenes is that he only describes the vital hits.  Everything else is left relatively vague, and he'll have the character muse on what's going on around him.  Describe the sounds of the battle, what's going through the character's mind as they fight, what they see.

More like helping make fight scenes cuz I suck at them bad not to mention I need to cut back on characters a little.

Seriously, the best advice I can give on that is to read some of Edgar Rice Burroughs's work, as he writes fight scenes really well.  I model my fight scenes after his style and it works well.  And I suck at writing fight scenes.
