One of the biggest complaints I got from my Uni professors was that I couldn't write formally enough and spent too much time on style when I should have been using it for substance -- but that's how we ended up with texts that were literally making me fall asleep trying to read :p It appears to be an incurable asset.Ivanneth Maethorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281499789304894480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-84787512032130534002008-12-01T20:03:00.000-05:002008-12-01T20:03:00.000-05:00As the others said, please don't apologize for you...As the others said, please don't apologize for your writing.

Arrrghhh!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you've nothing to apologize for. Your writing is wonderful...your writer's "voice" is unique and that is not easy to accomplish. I bet, given five paragraphs from five different writers, I could pick yours out immediately.Carole Pivarnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787775846290065794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-31470417680974752722008-11-30T14:55:00.000-05:002008-11-30T14:55:00.000-05:00Haha nice to know it hasn't changed since I was in...Haha nice to know it hasn't changed since I was in Tygris ^_^ I did used to be one of the MHC gatecampers ;)Ivanneth Maethorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281499789304894480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-63495567502542869272008-11-30T13:21:00.000-05:002008-11-30T13:21:00.000-05:00As other said, no need to apologise !Nicely writte...As other said, no need to apologise !<BR/><BR/>Nicely written, a pleasure to read and as somebody living in syndicate, I can confirm the description was very accurate and 100% reflective of the place :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-90708838533924821812008-11-30T07:15:00.000-05:002008-11-30T07:15:00.000-05:00@Gigaer - it'd be cool to get involved with that. ...@Gigaer - it'd be cool to get involved with that. And no, I have a lot of work that embarrasses me. I show my portfolio around and I can't even look at people's faces while they flip through it! But I can't stop.<BR/><BR/>@CK - I couldn't stop writing if I tried, I'd go mad. I have three novels in progress and just sold a story to an indie magazine not too long ago -- in addition to the Eve-fic here! Some people take drugs or seek the next adrenalin rush; I write ^_^Ivanneth Maethorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281499789304894480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-4843850528142743532008-11-28T14:28:00.000-05:002008-11-28T14:28:00.000-05:00Please do not EVER EVER EVER stop writing and publ...Please do not EVER EVER EVER stop writing and publishing your EVE fiction. This goes out to the two of you and to anyone else writing in the New Eden universe. I live for the stuff.<BR/><BR/>You never know where this might lead.

You may think it sucks but it's up to the reader to make up his or her mind on it. If they think it sucks, then that's their problem. If they've got a brain they'll actually give you constructive criticism... and if not, fuck 'em.<BR/><BR/>The greatest artists in the world constantly hate their work. They want to kill it with fire every time they are confronted with it. If you think you've done well you're only closer to complacency. Never be happy with your work, but never stop working.<BR/><BR/>I'd be more that honoured to have you on-board with this EVE-fiction podcast project I'm putting together. Check out my blog to learn about it and let me know.<BR/><BR/>IMO, actual EVE mechanics and gameplay is very difficult to make engaging in print, even though the rest of EVE is conducive. I've run into the same issue with the final chapter of my fiction. When I post chapters 9 and 10, let me know what you think.Bahamuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317770019024827162noreply@blogger.com
