Tek Posted October 23, 2001 What's up? This forum isn't too lively....even with all these great stories getting posted it's like a graveyard over here! I suppose that's fitting, given Doom's premise, but come on! This forum needs some life force-fed into it! 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted October 23, 2001 Leave us alone :P We are slow because the ideas for a story are so far and in between. 0 Share this post Link to post

This forum needs some life force-fed into it!I'd be posting more often, but I've got all my idea-making essence drained into RPing. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted October 25, 2001 Bah, no one reads my stories anyway. They're too long or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted October 25, 2001 Bah, no one reads my stories anyway. They're too long or something. I would. Post one. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted October 25, 2001 Okay. But be warned, the html layout sucks so it might get confusing at times...but it should work out okay. It's long, too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katgut Posted October 25, 2001 Bah, no one reads my stories anyway. They're too long or something.Just because nobody comments on it doesn't mean nobody's read it. That SECOND column is the number of people who have read it, not the FIRST column. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kid Airbag Posted October 25, 2001 Well, the one big story I posted was linked from another web page, it wasn't actually on this site so I have no idea how many people actually read it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tek Posted October 26, 2001 In my opinion, if you're doing this for notoriety, you're in for the wrong reason ;). I like to do this as practice for a career as a writer (I would argue that I'm coming along nicely ;)). You guys all have great ideas too; I particularly liked the skulltag chronicles. it's just that not many people are showing much initiative anymore--the forum's become a little stagnant. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted October 26, 2001 I particularly liked the skulltag chronicles. Well thanks! I am thinking up the next one and it should be done soon. 0 Share this post Link to post

I dunno, I just hate writing something that I want someone to read if no one is gonna read it. 0 Share this post Link to post

I like to do this as practice for a career as a writer (I would argue that I'm coming along nicely ;)). Yeah, that's my dream career too, 'cept I haven't written any serious doom fanfiction, hell, I haven't written much doom fanfiction at all, just a coupla comedies, and people are angsting for the third installment. You guys all have great ideas too; I particularly liked the skulltag chronicles. it's just that not many people are showing much initiative anymore--the forum's become a little stagnant. My school football season is over so I'll have a lot more time to devote to writing, maybe I'll try to help you liven it up. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tek Posted October 28, 2001 That's the spirit, Death! But, Katgut, what's wrong with BBG? Why do you want to drop a rock on him? 0 Share this post Link to post
Liam Posted October 28, 2001 That's the spirit, Death! But, Katgut, what's wrong with BBG? Why do you want to drop a rock on him? He's 90% of the reason this forum sucks. No offense to him, but his stories are mediocre at best and his comedies are utterly horrible. 0 Share this post Link to post

I like to do this as practice for a career as a writer (I would argue that I'm coming along nicely ;)). I want to be a writer too, but that will probably never happen (just look at my failed attempt). I would practise on writing here, but I've used up all my Doom-related ideas. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tek Posted October 28, 2001 I don't think the forum is limiting you to just the Doom series. I might work on some Quake related story once I'm done with my Doom one... And about BBG, he's not all that bad, though he could brush up on his spelling and grammar. 0 Share this post Link to post

I mean, metallic crabs, an eight-foot-tall humanoid that's NOT a Baron or a Hell Knight, a gatling gun, a shuttlecraft crash... we're talking the stuff of a fairly big TC here. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom-Child Posted October 29, 2001 Seems like the community story that we had going has really started to die...pity...I rather liked it. DC 0 Share this post Link to post

Tek Posted October 30, 2001 I've already done some work on the CS. I've posted on it five times, I think. And I agree, it doesn't stay very true to the Doom story ;). But I like it. 0 Share this post Link to post
