I got the vibe that you got dropped on the head as a child. I am surprised you care about what anyone who wishes to go into the writing field thinks about since it's obvious you have no reading comprehension ability at all.


why do you need to be so negative? I think its great what the OP has done and what he has accomplished. I thought this was a public forum? all i did was post the vibe i got while still saying basically congrats to him. You on the other hand are acting like a child.

Anyway, congrats on winning, OP.

Dude, I've been thinking of trying the same thing. I LOVE fantasy and sci-fi, and have about 50+ half finished stories and 15 finished ones on my hard-drive, but I just don't have the time to actually commit to writing seriously because of school and paying for it and whatnot. You're story has inspired me though, I'm gonna keep at the one I'm working on now and see how it turns out.

Also, if you have any tips for a burgeoning writer like myself, they would be greatly appreciated.

Lasty, HOLY FUCK KEVIN SORBO!?!? That is too cool.

Did you catch the 2 posts i made saying that i thought what the OP had accomplished was awesome? I guess this is the 3rd. Congrats OP. However, apparently unless your are strictly saying congrats in a thread its best to stay out of it. bye.

Theres 3 of my posts quoted. In all 3 of them i say i think what the OP has done is great etc etc in some part of those posts. I think it's you reading comp that needs the work, and im not the writer between us. I dont see the reason that you need to be so negative.

You should read the finals report on So1 OSL by manifesto. It's still in my mind as one of the most awesome battle reports because he visualized the 'story' of the game so beautifully.
I bet if you'd combine your skills similarly with a bit of sc a lot of us would enjoy it greatly maybe if you ever have any time or just wanna 'warm up'

Wonder what Tian Zi means in your award-winning story title. When I saw it, this came to my mind first. 天子? 田子?

This story is so inspiring. Too bad real life doesn't always work like that though. I can understand your parents giving you a ton of shit since you're Asian. If I told my parents I wanted to be a writer, they'd kick my ass.

This is where you prove my points exactly about being an idiot and failing reading comp huh? Or did you catch the fact that BOTH your posts are quoted and nowhere did you say anything close to that. But hey keep making things up and maybe you can write fiction too.

Anyway my apologies to the op for mucking this thread up by actually even responding to this retard of a troll.

I don't know how to quote 3 posts at once on this site, but i think its your reading comp that needs the work , and your the writer between us. Please look over my posts and you will see that in 3 of them I say that i think its great what the OP has accomplished in some part of them. I don't understnad your need to be so negative and childish with name calling and what not.

edit: also your math skills need some work as well because this is the 5th post ive made in this thread, all of which i regret making now because of your childish posts. I'm very sorry to the OP and congrats and best of luck with your writing.
