Vanir -> RE: When Heroes Fail - OOC (4/26/2016 0:19:42)

quote:
Usually I find writing in a bible-esque style to bore me and ward away my attention(hence I am unable to enjoy some of Tolkien's written work), but somehow, Vanir forces it so that I find must it amusing!
I have quoted the Bible in almost every post with Flannagon, in both his dialogue and the narration. With his dialogue and inner monologues, I want to show his familiarity with the sacred writings in this setting. I could imitate the style, but my writing is no where near 3,000 year old Hebrew poetry and prophetic literature. And I believe it makes my purpose much more direct. I am deeply religious myself, and so most of my characters tend towards that. I really enjoy writing Flannagon. He struggles to redeem himself under the yoke of his Pietistic theology, which is impossible for he bears the black mark and any good deed he may do is as a dirty rag. As a result of this, he is very angry. Since there are no statues of Baan to destroy, he directs that anger at everyone else around him. What he doesn't realize he needs is forgiveness, which I hope to bring to him throughout the rest of the RP. Unless he enrages everyone else into killing him before that happens and his time is cut short. That would make me sad. I almost had Flannagon launch a fireball at Cendra in my most recent post, but I decided I did want to keep him alive longer.
Anyway, glad to hear that my style isn't boring you.
@Caststarter: Sorry to hear about your technology troubles. Having the hard drive fail at four months and having the monitor fail at the same time is infuriating. I hope everything may cooperate with you from now on.
As a whole our pacing has slowed. For myself, and I suspect several others, with the end of an academic term at hand the walls are closing in from all sides. Once summer breaks through things should return to the normal speed.
