Does this story have potential?

I know, you guys... you're alway telling me to make the story first, before I want feedback, but I'm that kind of person who likes feedback first front, while something is not done. So:

This new story is called The Dark Guardian.

This will be the history of the story:

In a world called Opaque, there lived a demon made of the shadows, who created havoc upon the land. Engulfing even the light itself, the sages of their ancestral world had made a sealing spell that would entrap the guardian of darkness. As the guardian took many lives, the sages put their plan into action, and they had succeeded, but one of the sages found a flaw in their seal: If one was the touch the seal of the guardian of darkness, then they will take the place of the dark guardian, becoming the next to curse the land once more.

For this conspiracy, the sage was executed, after confessing to the other eight sages. In order to maintain the content of their people, they also killed the sage's wife, and cast a curse seal on their son to never hold any memory of his parents, or to every know what the guardian of darkness was. From that day forth, the tale of the guardian of darkness faded away, never showing itself ever in the history of Opaque.


Opaque is another word for darkness.

What do you think?

What? These stories in this board don't generally apply to maps you know.

Of course it can have potential. Every story can have potential, as long as the writer is able to pull the potential out of the story.

It's not the first subject you post asking for this. And, IMHO, I consider this is SPAM. Who cares about your story? Write it if you like it, and then people will care. But noone cares about stupid story plans.

No. I hate it. You must burn every scrap of paper with anything related to that story on it, then undergo a brain transplant so that you can't remember it, and I'm going to delete this thread because it's so terrible...


But really, what did you expect us to say? Ignitedstar, you just gotta just go with what you think. If you don't see any potential, then don't write it. If you do, then write! And if you write it halfway and then give up, then just post it as an unfinished work or something.

Yeah... and you call me a spammer...

I'm really starting to think that I should take Badfurday AND johnfn off of my "respected" list, and put them on my "naughty" one.

Why? Because, it takes the two of you... yes the TWO of you, to yell at me and push me over the edge, when I'm a hard person to budge.

All I needed to hear was a "yes" or a "no", alright? Oh yeah, and I thought that you were only suppose to give constuctive critism. It's too bad that the rule is being abused, and in some cases, not even used.

Like, when Badfurday made that thingy, and Johnfn made that domino's car, which don't make much sense to the subject.

I know, Badfurday only seems to be the only person who thinks that I'm spamming, and maybe Azhag and Johnfn too, with these threads.

Badfurday, I don't want to hear your comments that only whine, so don't post at all. That goes the same for you too, Johnfn.
It's funny, because saying all that, and being mad at the same time, I didn't feel like saying a single curse word, not that you would expect to say one.

Let me tell you guys something: I'm scary when I get mad, because my friends don't know what I do when I get mad. lol.

I'm just letting out what I'm feeling as of now, so don't be giving me red rep.

Well, become mad.
You post a useless topic, me and johnfn tell you it's useless, end.
No insults, no abuse, only telling you that I'm here to read stories, not skeletons. Wait... there was an insult in this thread. But you posted it.

Oh my god, I feel scared. So you threaten me and johnfn? That's a very good behaviour, indeed. Thanks for being an example to us.

Well, same goes for you. I don't want to see your text-skeletons, so don't post at all.

Please, I don't want this to become a fight. Therefore, I won't post any personnal insults.

And BTW, yes, I did post the "care police", johnfn his "domino thingy" and my "delete-thread UFO". Still, these are useful, because they ask for something. Deletion or closure of this useless thread.

I didn't find it spam. I really don't want to see were this will go. Guys just cool it down. It's just a story, no need to rip eachothers head off.

Look in the off-topic section.
Look at the Pgamers forum - if it still exists that is.
Look at the Anime Chains forum.
Look at the Anime Reactor off-topic section.
That's where you'll find "spammers" :P

I feel offended.

Oh, they won't be the only two people, Ig. It could be a lot worse than that, and that doesn't even have to be more than one person.
Especially since they aren't all that bad.

Actually, they do. But Furry already mentioned that.

Depends on their own opinion. I recently met someone who called a FAQ "spam".

You don't always have to curse when you are angry. It's just like you don't have to hit someone to deliver them pain.

Ooooohhhhh... I suggest that you don't say this anymore. They give an immature impression.
In my case, I don't know what I would do when I get mad. I haven't been really mad for the last... five years.

Rep. is something trivial.

You could also look at it from a different aspect. Think of it, as a hint to start a story, the introduction. The back end of a book. A small paragraph of information to attract people to it.

Are you really digging them out?

That's not a threat. Threats aren't supposed to be funny... or at least, not in most cases.

So you are saying you had a bad behavior?

Then consider the thread closed, hm? If everyone would refuse to react to each other, not much would be said.

Then you're a tad late. Both of you mentioned several stuff that could be considered offensive.

Deletion of thread is something I'm always against. Closing is something I keep quiet about.

Whee

Ok, the dominos car was pretty lame/random. But I did have constructive criticism on that post: to just make a story no matter what you think other people will think about it. (I also mentioned that no one would say it was bad when they only read two paragraphs, you don't get enough of it to make a proper judgement) The fact that that was just brushed off is kinda dissapointing, considering you took the one offtopic thing on my post and used it against me.

Ok, maybe my stupid humor about getting rid of every scrap of the story in existance was dumb too. I thought maybe I could lighten up what I was going to say. Obviously it didn't work.

No, you're not spamming.



Closing comment time. This thread looks way to much like a flamewar to me. Secondly, Ignitedstar, I'd be dissapointed if you stopped writing stories or anything like that. I'll try not to spam like I did here if you can try and post mostly finished stories (you look bad to most people otherwise)
