The Road from Damascus

Jan 10, 2008 17:55

Genre: original
Rated: PG-16 (religious issues, possible violence)
Stated: 24.12.2007
Ended: 10.01.2007
Author’s Note: It had been a while since I had written anything original, basically because I could never really formulated a plot. Thus, I dug up an old, old set of characters I had created and decided to give them a story, as requested by lamiyao. ( Read more... )

You had my immediate intrest, I look foward to seeing what happens next!:-)

oh, you like this?

actually, i had wanted to write a medieval piece for a long time, but never came up with a good plot and enough depth to the characters.

i intended this to be a one shot, but you liked this? if i get enough great responses, i will write more. xD;

libsrevenge January 11 2008, 02:24:59 UTC

Oh yes I liked it, it is totally different from everything I've been reading lately and I like historical based stories. That and I enjoy your writing style.

privatexenemy January 11 2008, 02:39:00 UTC

you like historical stories?! man, where have you been when i started writing. xD anyway, then i will probably write the story that this piece that was piloting.

Everytime i start reading one of your fics you always manage to keep me interested, no matter what you arw writing about ^^ (even though im not a big fan of religious stories)

thanks, i never realized that there would be people commenting here except for the person who requested this fic (i took a few non-vf requests and found it kind of refreshing). i always wanted to write something historical, based on the crusades (just because it was such a chaotic and contradictory time)...

i'm glad to see that you enjoyed this, even though there are going to be religious overtones... (you can obviously tell that Guilliame is a Christian knight -- of the Templar order and Ya'aqov is Jewish).

Still trying to decide if I want to expand on this story though (seems like there has been positive feedback on this one so far...).

Thanks for reading!

I think you should. I for one would definitely like to read more ^^

privatexenemy January 12 2008, 02:43:34 UTC

:] then it'll be a project worth writing then..

No, you're not and it's surprising to see that considering how well ou write. You woudn't believe how may idiots i've met thinking they're the best writers in the world, just because they hav a bunch of peopl role playing with them. And most of them either havb a mediocre writing or spend most of time gloating on how beautiful their character is +rolls eyes ( ... )

privatexenemy January 12 2008, 19:40:25 UTC

... yeah, or ridiculously long stories...rps struck me as a popularity contest and a lot of writers like to live their fantasy through that, which is why i stay away from them. ^^;

hm. i see. i just find that a lot of books nowadays don't hold my interest or engage me enough intellectually to hold my interest. jrr tolkien is what i call -- a modern classic. xD; anne rice, i have heard of her and the vampire novels she has written -- interesting, but haven't gotten into him. ... hm.. if you like Dan Brown, have you tried Golden Compass?

azazzeal January 12 2008, 20:43:36 UTC

Well, i wouldn't go as far as calling those people writters. they're little attention whores really. i'm only interested in RPing with people who do it for the fun of it and luckily i've been able to find quite a few talented writers among those in my friends list. Wich is good, because i've learned a lot from them. What i tried to do iwht my present RP account was to create a character who is the exact oposite of me (not just in gender) and make i believable and i'e had a lo of fun with it so far.

Well Anne is presently my muse, she's the one who inspired most of my writing lately. I'm a little bias because i'm a great fan of hers, but i think you should try reading one of her novels. um, no i haven't.

privatexenemy January 12 2008, 20:48:16 UTC

Ah, I see. It's always helpful if you meet a couple really strong writers. Though the word of caution would be to make sure that you don't lose your own voice because you've been learning so much.. which doesn't sound slike it would be a problem for you right now. I think that you sound like you know what you're doing -- I haven't even tried that, because those types of people are generally, really eccentric. ^^;

I see, we all have our muses.. so that's a good thing. I'll consider giving Interview with a Vampire a try, though I've been busy reading up on classical composers lately.... e_e;
