I'm sorry for replying so very late. The story has reached one hell of a hitch, unfortunately... I may need help.

*sigh* First line jitters. I just can't freaking figure out how to start it! It's been so long and nothing has come to mind. I'm starting to freak out... This has never happened to me before.

Yeah, except this is the first time it's happened to me. ._. I feel really dumb. >_>

well, don't.

when all else fails, start with a opening that gives a good detail of the setting.
works with novels, why not with a fan fic?

Zemus-san In reply to Corrupted36 [2012-01-11 04:47:09 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you're right. So, I need to detail the station they're heading to, and the setting on the ship they're currently in as well.

something like that, yes.
perhaps give a quick recap of previous events; characters, locations etc.
I've been reading a lot of star wars novels (they're surprisingly good) and they usually start off that way. Well, minus the recaps

Alright. Thank you for your advice, and I'm thankful for your patience as well. ^_^ I appreciate it.

By the way, I never did manage to ask... How did you like the characterization of Nazarel?

Corrupted36 In reply to Zemus-san [2012-01-19 18:50:58 +0000 UTC]

absolutely, You're very welcome.

As for Nazarel, well I'd have to say his characterization went pretty well with the story.
I can't wait to see the finished product
good luck

Thanks, man. And thanks for liking Nazarel. He was actually pretty tough to characterize. I don't usually do "cold" characters like him.

I usually put bits and pieces of my personality into my characters.
they're each their own individual character, but at the same time a small part of myself

Zemus-san In reply to Corrupted36 [2012-01-20 20:45:57 +0000 UTC]

Well, I based Nazarel off how I act when I'm pissed. He's still unique, but that's what he was based on.

Mm, and I've got a lot more characters that are based on my personality like that. Upward of 100, last time I checked...
