Re: Almost an Allegory
Upon finally reaching the outcropping that would serve as our shelter, I had balked only momentarily as I realised that our dwelling lacked a bed (or, indeed, actual walls) before the weariness of the day had began it's final onslaught upon my decaying resolve to Just. Stay. Awake. Dammit. While the...

Re: Almost an Allegory (OOC)
I'm sorry my post is so long and bloated ._. I've become pretty fed up with rewriting and trimming it, so, before my perfectionism stalls me for another few days, I decided to just post it as is. But I shall endevour to learn the subtleties of brevity, so no-one has to swim through so much text next...

Re: Almost an Allegory
“You are right,” I was ? Well yes, I suppose I was. Still, I had expected his words to be more heavily laced with bewilderment at my intellectual faux pas. Maybe he had not heard? Ahh... one could hope, though maybe he was simply used to people saying odd things. I suppose, if he is mad, then he wo...

Re: Almost an Allegory (OOC)
Actually Dovey, I just finished my new post D: I need to read through it to check my grammar and such before I post it though... but it's late and I'm really tired, so any corrections I do would probably be pretty poor.
So I'll post it tomorrow when I'm awake properly :]

Re: Looking For Critique
Hahaha... oops. I've never mistaken a person for a town before. At least I don't think so...
I suppose that's what I get for not reading through things properly =D

Re: Looking For Critique
My post is not very well structured. I'd change it but ehhh... I'm lazy and you asked for critique, so here are my thoughts: You definitely have a major problem with flow. Try reading what you've got out loud, as if you're reading to a class of people. I find that helps me when it comes to making th...

Re: Almost an Allegory (OOC)
Woo! Thanks again Circ. Your words are most flattering. =] And here I was worried that you'd think my writing was trite and derivative. D= Also: Welcome Astral Weave! I look forward to seeing what you write =] Also, also: You're right Circ, your brilliant post was at the top of the Everything Else f...

Re: Almost an Allegory
A more simple part of me wanted to run forth and embrace this man; this anchor to civilisation. Another wisely noted that I was a lone, scrawny teen, shaking from hunger and dancing droplets doing their best impression of icicles, as well as not being very well equipped to fight off a mad man. For s...

Re: Almost an Allegory (OOC)
Circ : Thank you again! I enjoyed reading your posts immensely too. Your descriptive powers are pretty damn magnificent =] and I have to say that I adore this line: Sporadic, lucent breakthroughs ebb away within the hour, and tiny orbs of rain cast long, thin tethers from vault to vale, as through ...

Re: Almost an Allegory (OOC)
I finally got round to posting my rp but I'm kinda new at this so if I've done anything wrong, in any way (grammar, spelling, tone etc.), just tell me and I'll fix it!
Constructive criticism would be good too, if you can be bothered =]

Re: Almost an Allegory
At first nature had been welcoming. The open grassy plains, the blossom covered hills, the dew tipped grasses; all had conspired to instill in me a sense of otherness, of freedom. "This is not a city life of human confines," I had thought as myrtle eyes surveyed the lighter green of nature...

Re: Almost an Allegory (OOC)
Ahh yes, that's what I thought you meant. I just wanted to make sure :] Talking of consistency though, I'm not too sure of the setting you've created. I got the impression that it's set in a past similar to our own before any major industrialisation, though that could just be because you described a...

Re: Almost an Allegory (OOC)
this RP is about writing what you feel, but abstracting it out into a story so that you are no longer married to (or in bondage by) those feelings, This sounds like an intriguingly brilliant idea, though I'm not sure what you mean by this; and doing so in a way that is consistent with what has come...
