Motivation or inspiration issues? Because both factors are fickle, fickle bitches...

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.

Yeah but the thing with me is I that I'm not good at absorbing stuff like that I mean I've read a lot of fan fiction and I'm watching Gundam Wing as we speak, I just absorb to the story more than fight scenes.

Edit: Not to mention I barely have a plot to being with. I don't know how to end it or how to progress much all I got are romance scences, weapons, 2 crazy psycho bitches, a few good charaters and when this takes place. Iy's much harder since on part takes place after ZXA.

Quickman · **Reply #1180 on:** December 23, 2008, 09:10:41 AM

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.

Machina · **Reply #1181 on:** December 23, 2008, 09:21:41 AM

Best advice I can give on the plot and fighting stuff is to talk things out with another author and try to hammer things out. Once you get a sequence of events for a fight scene, you can fill in the blanks with what basically amounts to "and then [parasitic bomb] happened" in varying amounts depending on how fast and chaotic the fight is supposed to be.

Best advice I can offer on the character cutting is no advice. One of the first thing uploaded onto the incomplete Intentions site was a wiki, and the first blank page referenced on the front page is a character list. I'll let you guess the reason for that. Why do you need to cut characters?

I made about 20 fan characters that's just as bad as that one fan fiction on fanfiction.net with Megaman EXE, Toyko Mew Mew, and then they add and take out another dimension or ywo that have nothing to do with Megaman plus the story had sucky fight scenes and bad personalities when it came to romance. Obviously Roll.EXE is the jealous type!

Machina · **Reply #1183 on:** December 23, 2008, 09:35:07 AM

Twenty? Pfft. Lightweight. ^_^

Amount doesn't matter. How much thought have you put into these characters? How fleshed out are their personalities?

Fat is good to cut away. Meat... that's more debatable. ^_^

...How many charaters did you make? Oh just to be clear the fan characters weren't the only ones invovle with the story I aslo got the entire cast of Megaman ZX and ZXA, plus some battle network characters, and Zero and X series too and the 20 I mention was mostly good guys.

In 21XX alone out of a five-hundred year timeline, and not counting relatively minor mooks on the Hunter, Maverick, Progroid, Government, or Syndicate sides of the conflict(s), I've counted over fifty on my main list. This is not counting any canon characters, or any characters developed solely by project members who are not called Machina Kyrios.

With a fraction of the whole list known, Intentions has frightened people. This is the reason the incomplete Intentions site has wiki software installed.

...Danm that's a lot, even more than Bleach I bet.

Machina · **Reply #1187 on:** December 23, 2008, 09:46:29 AM

Oh yeah, more than Bleach. I've actually compared.

You know now why I called you a lightweight. ^_^

Quickman · **Reply #1188 on:** December 23, 2008, 10:13:56 AM

That's just too damn many characters for one single story.

Machina · **Reply #1189 on:** December 23, 2008, 10:17:35 AM

Oh, it helps when most of them don't have any speaking roles. ^_^

A lot of the development that goes beyond excessive is for the CRPG. However, because of my natural tendency toward complete universes, I like to know... "Okay, so Reploid Mayl (I wish I were joking) is in Shanghai during the battle. Good to know if she shows up in a side story."

That, and it enhances the "HOLY [parasitic bomb]" factor.
