Sorry that I am so inactive lately, but Riviera is a bit too much fun, a bit too addicting, and Fia/Cierra in Riviera are a bit too cute ^^

<3

Maybe after I beat the game a couple thousand times, I'll come back to review a lot again, but until then... <3

Have fun with it.

It's not like you're the only one guilty of addiction.

*listens to some Sonic Rush music*

lol XD

Riviera is really fun itself, because of endless possibilities when you're making your turns, and I know that I'll have to replay this game thousands of times because they hide the event items way too good >>; probably because i made a turn at wrong times, and etc etc >>;

Battle system is really unique in itself, and sometimes the conversations at occassion rescue the poor plot (how come in Ch. 1 I can predict that the gods are the bad guys already? Hmm...). The plot can use some work, but otherwise I really like it ^^
 
What makes you kick yourself into updating when you have no inspiration whatsoever? As much as I love the white background of my word processor, I'm afraid we must depart. This relationship is just not working out. I hope we can still be friends (don't you guys just love that line haha?).

If someone says "listen to music," I will smack you. :) I always do that, and I always end up downloading new songs than writing a chapter. ._.
 
That's the exact reason why I turned into a fanfic reviewer (a lazy, poor one though) instead of a writer >>;
 
I posted a new one-shot, whee. Although it's not exactly much like my other one-shots. XD Inspired by events at another forum, actually, but shh! Don't tell.

Uh... nothing. xD The update time between chapters in my fics is probably at an average of around four months... o.o;;
 
Yeah, I can't write stuff unless I feel like it. If I don't, I usually end up working on something else totally random instead.
 
I sometimes need to force myself to write something unless I'm REALLY stuck on something.

Speaking of which, I'm in quite a jam here. I planned for the next chapter of HMW to be the first Shard chapter, but I recently got another idea in my head to drop some hints about the main villian's plan as well as a small amount of background involing him, Deviri (formerly known as Shadow Mariah), and the black birds that's been popping out.

So, what should I do? Should I go straight into the action with the first shard or do the mini chapter involving the main villian instead?
 
I use to force myself to write.

...yeah, didn't work out too well chapter-wise. >>; And and and then I got a whole bunch of people together to bug me to write. I kinda just yelled at 'em in the end...

Then I tried just waiting it out until inspiration did strike.

Still waiting. =D
 
Inspiration comes at me in random patches. But usually by the second or third page, I lose the inspiration, therefore, dead fic. Or I'll continue it when I get the inspiration back... and oh yeah... laziness is a factor...>>
 
That happens to me all the time, and at the worst times too like at midnight when I'm finishing an essay for English or working on Physics or something. Then I open my word processor, start to type, realize that I have to finish my homework, tell myself I have the main idea in my head and that I can add the final details later, come back tomorrow, open it back up, stare at it, and then close because I just don't feel like typing it.

*counts* Its happened... *holds up all fingers* this many. o_o

Edit: On a random note, how come most of your are quirky? NERDS. :P jk.

Oh I had to stop working on my US History essay once (was 7 pages of doom and I hardly finished the second page) just to write this poem that I just thought of... eventually it was a pretty good poem that my friend and I are currently turning into a song.

And I just noticed that people here are quirky... Hey don't blame me... I am quirky myself... >>
 
We're all quirky. We're fanfic writers. Think about it. :P

There's just something about homework that inspires you... Maybe it's the sheer boredom that does it because I get inspired during US History tests for some reason...
 
yeah... probably the fact that US History is the most boring part of history in the whole wide world ... nothing really interesting happened here. Probably just a civil war, otherwise, every war is like fought in some other country.

Anyways, the night is never young for me.


G'night.

Do the mini-chapter. It's better to slowly crawl into the climax than immediately jump into action. It gets the reader lost. And don't get too boring! Make it interesting. That's my advice ^^
 
Bloody Turmoil {Preview}

Will the almighty Zegrort? please take heed to the calls of my fans who longed for my newest Fan Fiction! Yes, the time has arrived for me to start working on Fan Fiction once more.

A long, long time ago, I wrote a novel called Life of a Trainer. By Chapter VII, I lost interest, and started adding some weird crap to it, shortened the length of the chapters by half, and again, lost more interest. Thus leading to the end of my first Fan Fiction here at Serebii.

Then came Tarnished Scars. I lost interest twice as fast than my previous work as I over- and underdescribed, and inserted an unnecessary scene regarding a boy, a Scyther, and a lost arm.

Now is the ultimate reckoning. No turning back. No losing interest. I am now fully dedicated to this work. I will promise in the first post of the fic, that if I do not update within 2.5 weeks, I have to give them [my readers] a One-Shot, meaning, more dedication, more thinking, more typing, more fulfillment.

Throughout my career as a Fan Fiction afficionado and author, I have scouted the forums once more, and heard of new names pop up: Sike Saner, xXSaberXx, The Chesire Cat, Saffire Persian, and Scrap [well, not new, but you know where I'm going with this!]. Skimming their works, I have found that I lost all knowledge.

So I began to get more focused in writings of famous authors: Steven Pressfield, a great warfare describer, Octavia E. Butler, great with emotion and metaphoric writing, Christopher Paolini and J.K. Rowling, incorporating elements of Fantasy mixed with average life, and countless others.

They, along with the Fan Fiction authors, helped me rejuvenate my spark, and here I am, skull on desk, blood dripping from the edge, the lights off, papers scattered throughout the room, each depicting an important scene in the novel. Ooh yeah, I'm back. And I'm bad...

Bloody Turmoil takes place in what used to be a utopian village called Al?zuq, and other places in the land of Noltaria [name still uncertain]. A young boy discovers a dragon egg in the weirdest of coincidences, a bit like discovering it as if he were meant to.

This excerpt from the first chapter, the Prelude, I should say, is when a Zelfelgor walks around a deserted village to see nothing but death.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Bloody Turmoil.

~~~~~

~I~
IMPERFECTION​

Al?zuq was a graveyard.

An armored foot stomped on a dusty ground of what used to be a chapel. All he saw were ashy skeletons scattered all over the dirty soil. Each posture of the skeletons were the same ? shock, horror, fear, surprise. An armored hand picked up one of the skulls gently. It cracked right in his hand, and turned into a pile of ashes. The being started to walk around the chapel, his right hand holding the end of his trusty blade.

He was a Zelfelgor, a beastlike warrior with the features of both Mightyena and Houndoom. Zelfelgor were never found near Al?zuq ? they were the Haven Guard of Nokraz. The beast patrolled the deserted land afraid, and started to shake nervously, losing grip on his blade.

Al?zuq was a desert.

The Zelfelgor wandered the deserted land nervously, looking at the gloomy scene in front of him. The once luscious green forest of Sedfreol was burnt down, the villages of Al?zuq were completely destroyed, and skeletons of babies not even a year old lie there, their eyes staring into a blank abyss. The Zelfelgor picked up the infant?s skull, and, like the other skull he picked up earlier, transformed into a pile of ashes.

The Zelfelgor started to weep. His knees shook, causing him to fall on his knees. Although his hands were covered in ash, he placed them over his eyes, and wept heavily. He cursed himself.

?Almighty Zegrort?, take pity on this imperfection, as this once benign land has been destroyed in one wake of your overseeing eyes; Lord, please show me why this place has been destroyed!? the Zelfelgor prayed.

His body stiffened. A sight of clouds zoomed over him, the rising and setting of many moons in a backward motion, the sharp jolts of pain that were needles that pierced his heart as he saw visions of a hellhole arising. People were hurling torches at draconic beasts that were once their protectors, stabbing their own armies with the soldiers? own weapons. Skulls were ripped off, and soon, a gigantic brushfire emerged from the forest, destroying the fields, soon, destroying the once utopian society of Al?zuq.

The Zelfelgor?s eyes began to look up. He was shaking, the information pulsed through his head like a fast heartbeat.

He collapsed.

Yes, more description [OMG!], and a bit short for a preview, but nonetheless, hopefully, good. What do you think?

*already seen it*

Dude, you might want to remove all the Serebii references up there... I think that many people here have no idea who Insincerus (formerly The Cheshire Cat), Psychic, and Scrap are.

As for me being quirky... well, it's the closest nature I can find to "insane".

Edit: Selestius, do I detect that the "sight of clouds" error continues to lurk in the text? I remember fixing that.

Edit-edit: Oh, nevermind, you just copy-pasted the non-corrected preview. My bad.
