Apologies for Who I Was

So you don't like the team name?

 

Well, any ol' name with anything to do with wolves should be good, right? Eye of the Wolf? Canis Operor Res Suum Via (Wolves do things their own way)? I like Latin XD. Canis something?

 

Freedict.com/onldict/lat.html is an English to Latin translator.

Frigus Canis? Canis Ferrum? Iron and Cold, respectively. Or maybe Solitus Canis? Or Unus Canis.

Fail? Solitus means stuff along the lines of "ordinary", not single.

 

Also, Gelidus sounds cooler than Frigus to me. Means the same thing. Oh, and did you notice the other word for cold? Gelu!

That site said it meant "alone."

 

Yeah, I did.

So, story, yeah?

 

Are we going with Surel, Makuta, or Tamaru?

 

I'm still not sure.

 

Who?

For the sake of Bioniclechronicler, so he can post on time, it seems we've chosen Surel.

 

Right now the names that seem the best are:

 

Frigus Canis

Solitas Canis

Follow the Wolves

Ferrum Canis

 

Thoughts?

Follow the Wolves because I believe we shouldn't over do the Latin thing.

I did prefer that myself. Seeing as a tie is the worst we can get at this point, and Follow the Wolves had two votes (mine and Xander's) first, I'll inform HH of that being the name of our epic.

Thanks, you guys, for finally choosing a character. I am at peace again...anyways, chapter one is up. The story (Follow the Wolves is a rather suiting title) is about Surel stopping the Baterra, woh have mysteriously returned, and his wolves lead them to their lair. He also reunites with Kirbold, though at first does not remember him, as it has been thirty years since Spherus Magna was restored. Surel is quite moody, may I add...

 

~BC~

I liked it, but two problems:

 

1) A bit graphic. Stabbings, cuttings, and blood. Not sure if that's such a good idea (nor really possible with blood, but it is a fanfic; still not good).

 

2) Baterra taking identities. Not sure if that's possible, but, again, this is a fanfic, so this one doesn't really count. Just thought I'd say something about it.

 

Other then that, really good so far.

Stopping the baterra? Please tell me that isn't what the whole story is about...

 

Honestly, I was hoping for something with an actual... you know... plot.

 

Also, the beginning goes way too fast! And a baterra shouldn't be quite that weak.

 

I know I'm being a bit of a sourpuss, but we really need a story that can get us at least 3rd place. How many people have read Sahmad's tale, Chapter 5? I was thinking we could have Surel stumble into a cave that leads him to the very world of this Eldrich Abomination. Now, THAT could make an interesting story! Well, anyways, I'll post the next chapter (unenthusiastically).

 

Oh, and about the title. Let's figure it out once the plot becomes more pronounced. Follow the Wolves is just too vague. Also, one of the reasons I suggest Latin a lot is because Bara Magnan appears to have a lot in common with it (Hence Malum, which means bad, Gelu, which means cold, and a couple of others.)

 

 

Well, I posted the next chapter. It's extremely short because... well, you know. Guys, if you don't like the idea of using the ST ch 5 monster thing, then that's fine, but please come up with something with more meat.

1. I have no problem with blood and violence.

2. Dude, it's Follow the Wolves three to one. You got the team name, I get the epic name.

3. The point of this is to roll with it. If the story isn't something you like, deal with it and move on. I personally think this will be easy to flesh out.

I wasn't concerned with the vote. I'm saying that Follow the Wolves is alright, but we shouldn't come up with a name just yet. What we need is to figure out what the fleshed-out plot is going to be, and then come up with a title. I mean, what if all the wolves end up dying later in the epic? Follow the Wolves won't be so fitting, now will it?

 

Sorry for being a sourpuss and all. I suddenly got a bunch of inspiration out of nowhere and extended the chapter by a lot! Sorry for all the trouble, guys. I'm better now.

Ah, but if they died, it might turn into a story about him trying to avenge them, and then following them in death.

 

Anyways, fountain of healing, huh?

 

Oh, and Chronicler, I don't think Tuma's allowed. You should probably just change it to a rogue Glatorian or a Skrall.

Nonono, HH said it could feature set characters, but they couldn't be the main ones.

 

Also, who said that Surel was right about the fountain. It could have been something else that had healed him (the water could have been completely irrelevant).

 

But I now have all my inspiration back!

 

That aside, it's your turn, ToD!

Still, Tuma's already dead.

 

Anyways, I wasn't saying I looked down on the idea, I was musing to myself.

 

I'm writing now.

Oh wow, ToD! I just realized that you're probably the first person I have ever seen spell "Rogue" correctly online!

 

Cudos!

 

Also, Latin places adjectives after the subject, so rather than Frigus Canis, it would be Canis Frigus.

Good for me. XD

 

Ah, thought I said those wrong... Well, now I know. But really, let's not overdue latin.

So when can we expect Ch 3?

I'm writing it. About a tenth done, will get more done throughout the day.

>.<

You sure take your time with writing! Total, I probably spent a max of 20 minutes on Chapter 2!

I take a while to write stuff, yes. Quality.

I liked it, but two problems:

 

1) A bit graphic. Stabbings, cuttings, and blood. Not sure if that's such a good idea (nor really possible with blood, but it is a fanfic; still not good).

Other then that, really good so far.

 

Baterra can change into any shape, so I'm pretty sure #2 is possible. #1 was only for dramatic effect.

 

I was also trying to write a first chapter that would be easy to follow up, that's why I didn't introduce more plot...I'm starting to wish I wasn't the first author, it's hard setting up a story for three very different people...hopefully now things will go smoother.

Edit via ToD: There's an edit button for a reason. I combined them for ya.

I know you said you've changed your mind about all this, but I just wanted to explain. And, I really don't understand why you're so focused (at least in this post) with us rushing through the epic in hopes of winning. I don't know about you guys, but I'm doing this just to do it. Also, if you had some ideas for me before I posted the first chapter, I wish you'd told me. I introduced the baterra because #1-I am hoping we can finish this epic by the deadline, and #2-an insanely complex story could not only be unappealing to some readers but would carry on far too long to be finished by September 6.

 

Another note about the epic: notice how only two teams including us have actually posted a chapter, and the other team posted a very short paragraph. So far, we're in first place, and to keep it that way, I think we should try not to keep branching out the story. In my opinion, the main focus should be how Surel's leg grew back and its connection to the Baterra, who have returned. What I'm saying is, I don't think we should add any more loose ends (such as a manas crab falling from the sky, or something else odd like that).

 

Also, the baterra was weak because Surel, with many, many years of experience, knew its pressure points.

 

My LAST explanation-the story is fast paced because we only have until the 6th to completely resolve it. If I wrote a full chapter only about a normal day as Surel, that would give us less time for writing the actual story and give the story potential to get slightly out of control (no guidelines).

 

Final note-sorry if this was in any way rude or mean, I'm not intending to be. I'm also sorry if you've changed your mind about most of this and this doesn't apply to you.

 

~BC~

There's Xander too. Four different personalities.

Oh no, that's fine. But you must not have read the recent post HH made on the official topic. She said that it didn't have to actually be resolved by then, and that we could even continue writing once the judges had finished judging! So we have all the time in the world to write this thing! So in that case, you might actually want to go back and edit your first chapter to make it more meaty... if that's allowed. But we need to focus on quality, rather than quantity. I know that makes me sound like a hypocrite, but meh.

 

And I wasn't planning on branching the story out, although I suggest we forget about the Baterra altogether. The thing that healed his leg should be the primary focus at the moment (in my opinion. You don't have to listen to me.).

 

P.S. Xander, you haven't been talking much, and we'd like your input!
