THANK YOU!!!!! :hug:

I'll use this in the future UC-maybe it will help me some. I've always been *terrible* at writing fight scenes, yet the fandoms I write for or want to write for (Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and now Gundam Wing) are all shounen, and hence fight scenes are often inevitable. . .despite my efforts to avoid them by writing post-series fics.

UC, seriously, you've made me a better writer.

Again, great work. It's like Christmas all over again!

That makes all of this feel worth it... thanks. And thanks to all others speaking benevolantly in relation to my work.

Speaking of your work, do you have an account on fanfiction.net/fictionpress.net? I'm really interested in your work. Do you have other fics on these boards?

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Wed Dec 31, 2003 9:46 am

I have numerous parts of The Fall here in the writing section... all of them can be found through the Archives, if they're no longer on the boards.

Yes, I do have accounts on both fanfiction.net and fictionpress.net. Linkage:
http://www.fanfiction.net/~uncreativepseudonym
http://www.fictionpress.com/~uncreativepseudonym

I'd warn you, most of my writing on fictionpress is just older versions of The Fall. I do have some worthwhile things there, but not too many. What I have on fanfiction.net is much more worthwhile.

But enough about me. On topic again.

Thank you Master

But of course. May it serve you well.

I'd like to petition that this tread be moved to the Tutorials section.

Postby **Solid Ronin** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 2:27 pm

ummm why?

Postby **uc pseudonym** » Sun Feb 29, 2004 2:42 pm

Perhaps because it really is a Tutorial. That's a decent idea, but I hadn't given it much consideration myself.

Consider your petition granted.

I realize that but its just seem out of the blue

wow, where has this thread been hiding all the while? Terrific job, UC! This is definitely going to benefit all writers and artists alike. *cuts, pastes & saves Tutorial in hard drive* I'll ask questions when I digest through the whole tutorial word by word. ^^

Volt... your post would be quite humorous if it wasn't so scarily true. In retrospect, I wish I would have posted an example of a bad fight scene.

Thanks, Mave. I'd be happy to answer any questions, or even cover any specific situations.

whoa I just read Volts post...I dont write fights that bad do I , Master????

No, you're considerably better than that (especially your newer work). Volt wasn't targeting you, in case you think he was. But I've read so much literature exactly like it (and I don't read that much fanfiction...).

No, I knew he wasnt but I just wanted to make sure what I wrote didnt read like that. And thank you and its all thank to your guide

oooooo now i'm afraid he was talking about me..

^_^" eeek...
Great thread by the way...i'll have to refer back to it since my stories tend to have alot of fighting heheeh

Okay, I know I'm gravedigging, but I checked this topic at random, so bear with me. I think it just stinks when a writer assumes his/her audience knows what a certain move looks like. Assume they don't, and describe it. It never hurts.

Postby **Myoti** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 7:03 pm

Hmm. This is definetly a useful tutorial. I believe that I have used quite a few of those styles, though I'm not quite certain whether I did them well or not.

I believe I come with some fairly unique ideas, but I can never get them to come correctly. I'd be appreciative if someone more "expierenced" would read view some of my own stories and tell me what and how I can approve on them ("Solar Cycle", in the Writing section).

I'm afraid it would be highly difficult for me to get a response to you at the moment, but such might be possible given enough time. At the moment things are hectic at my end, but when they settle down I think I would enjoy giving you feedback on how you write fighting.

I understand, and I wasn't meaning you specifically. I would simply appreciate it if anyone with more education and skill in writing would be able to help me.

Wow, thank rocklobster for gravedigging.. I'm so glad I found this thread ^_^ It was wonderful UC, thanks for the guide. I'm sure I'll be putting it to good use in the very near future.

Thank you.

I realize that, but because this is my thread I thought a response was in order.

WOO! this helped so much ^-^ I will definatly be reffering back to this as I write. *hugs uc pseudonym* you did a wonderful job thankyou~~ X3
