Okay, so there's not technically a "Prose" section to the forums (and if there were, I never noticed it). We do technically have "Role Playing" where stuff may get tossed from time to time, but the following has neither anything to do with "RP" nor the desire to get lost, hounded, or otherwise in that maelstrom. In either direction, I value the honest opinion of the art community far more than I may feedback I may have received from the RP Community (not to say that some of you may actually rep in both places, I just feel more homely here). Ontop of the fact that this section is now "Fan Creations", I'm deeming that enough grounds to cover "Prose" as well. And while not entirely "Fan" since it's not being derived off anything directly involving CoX, it's the only place I can come to ask.
I know, totally rambling.
While some of you will still even catch this on Deviantart as watchers, either way. The following excerpt I'm linking to Here is a piece I've been fiddling with involving the potential of a 500-600 page "first book". This small piece is a driving directional force of inspiration that I'd like to finally get stabilized in its third variant and I'd like the earnest critique of [you guys/gals] for it. Granted "serious critique" isn't normally tossed around here, I'd still like it, whether on Deviant Art or PM here. The excerpt isn't miles long by any stretch, but in what might cover the first three or so pages in a book, I need to know if you're going to put the book back on the shelf or take it home and delve into it a bit; and I need to know if I've got that. I know not everyone judges a book in the same manner, but that's all I'm giving [for now].
And just for sake of saying, in a long road cut short, many of the characters that become involved in the story were developed outside of CoX, found manifestation in the game, found development as a character, and are being ported back out into their original environment as enhanced personalities; and in the long run the story itself is directed and the kind of fan base that would follow a game like CoX, so what better direction to seek input than from the same demographic, as it were.
Edit: If you're really eager to try and snag a few more bits into "Origins", there's a section in my DA Gallery with a few pieces that happen to have additional extensions/variants/excerpts on the beginning and or basis to coincide with this particular piece. While they definitely don't all coincide, it's still there if you're curious to extend critique to the more of the idea than just this one piece.
Edit #2: I really like the edit window, that's slick stuff.
Edit #3: Wow, you can even change your topic titles from the sub list, crazy.
