Sex is great in books. Not just from a dirty perspective, but it can actually help the story and is a great way of showing the characters for who they actually are because you can't get much more intimate and up close with a character than reading about them having sex :P Plus, whats the TRSG Nanowromo thingy? Is it like a story writing competition? Edited by user 29 August 2009 21:35:38(UTC)

The idea is, we have 30 days (November) to write a 50,000 word novella. A lot of people worldwide do it, but I at one point particularly invited TRSGers to do so, and we'd all show off what we'd got at the end. I didn't, because I failed miserably. (Less than 1,500 words. PATHETIC. I can and have written one-shot roleplay posts bigger than last year's attempt!) I've been doing this for three years, and not yet won. Usually reach the halfway point or so, but last year was particularly bad. I shall win in 2009 .... .... oh, and there's also a few similar things. FAWM (February Album Writing Month) which is writing and recording 14 songs in 28 days, its spinoff 50:90 which is recording 50 songs in 90 days, and NaTeaDriMo which is drinking as many cups of tea as you possibly can in one month. (Elliot and I invented the latter. We have yet to get it started.) Edited by user 30 August 2009 00:56:48(UTC)

Really good, not my type of story, and font size is a little big which makes it a tad ugly to read but the actual writing is really good. Good description, but you could work on description a lickle bit more. Just to give a bit more atmosphere. However it's hard to give atmosphere in that kind of fast paced action, which is generally why I stick to writing sad stories about drug abusers :P
Also I might enter that Nanowrimo thing, is there a limit on how graphic it can be? |

Cause on my computer, the font is smaller and the chapter headings are in a different font. Dont know whats up with that. But thanks though, it means a lot. |
