_Depression -> Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/26/2008 17:28:44)



Angel: The Beautiful Outcast is my newest story, a fantasy tale set in the modern-day USA. I began writing it to mark the new L&L, but surprisingly (to me), there seems to be more than just a small idea here. I'm not exactly sure where this will end up by its end, but I can assure everyone that I'll be there to write it.

Enjoy, and don't forget to comment! =)

mastin2 -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/26/2008 17:47:58)

You know that I read it already and am anxiously awaiting more!

Theories I was hesitant to give,
on what happens, since the character ceases to live.
But now, the story is fully accepted
So now is the time to give my theories instead.

spoiler:

A crazy theory of mine: (When do I ever have a SANE theory?)

Grace will run, informing the other angels of their "master"'s death. Fearing for their safety--and with nowhere to call home--they leave, knowing that the home could be attacked. Grace pretends to be a Chaser, in truth actually just trying to help the other angels.



...Yup. Thousands of different variances on that theory there. That's just a sum-up. I'd be more than happy to spill out the full version of my theory, along with a dozen near-identical versions with slight differences.

-Mastin has rambled.



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/27/2008 1:29:22)

Ugh. I failed epically at writing Chapter 4.

I have uploaded the scratched version to my SheezyArt account, so if you want to read that, here it is: http://www.sheezyart.com/view/1816700/ Just realize that there are a good many mistakes, and that it was written sloppily.

=/



mastin2 -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/27/2008 3:57:36)

So I shouldn't bother with a critique, then, should I?

Ah, well...a terrible chapter's still a chapter! :)



Dantmotckc -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/28/2008 20:13:35)

don't kill me: It started out a lot like Maximum Ride.

...but then it got different. very different. O_o



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/28/2008 22:50:44)

xD Don't worry Dan, you'd more have to worry about the Hunter and Mary than you would me.

And yeah, I guess it was a bit like Max Ride... hopefully not "A Final Warning"... lol

I'm going to try getting Chapter 4 done tonight...



~Shade~ -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/28/2008 23:27:24)

Hey _Dep. It's me, that guy that thought your poetry was more uplifting than your name.

Anyways, I didn't find any errors, most likely because I wasn't using my fine-toothed comb today.

I liked it. I would like to see more. Good luck.

~Shade~



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/29/2008 1:30:41)

Thanks, mate.

New chapter up. ^__^

Comments loved.



~Shade~ -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/29/2008 1:38:40)

I loved it, yet again.

You are quite good, no errors, and I love the storyline.

Excellent.

Keep up the great work. I want to see what happens next! ARGH!

*casts Fanboy +1 on _Dep*

~Shade~



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/29/2008 4:13:00)

*feels powered up* Yay! Chapter 5 in the making, more plot twists to come!

Edit: Okay, can't forget to thank mastin2 for the help in creating the lovable Jack A. Masters!!



mastin2 -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (6/29/2008 17:36:46)

Yay! New chapter out!

By the way, another crazy, unwelcomed, illogical theory from me...

spoiler:

As soon as I heard more than a sentence about 'the Hunter', I immediately looked to Bright and thought "Hmmmmmmm..." So, my theory is that 'The Hunter' is Bright's father.


Now, I shall read the new chapter four and see just how much better it is! :)

It'd sound a little better--in my opinion--if it was like this...

Yay! Much better than the old one! Though, honestly, I think that some of the old one should be featured in the next chapter. (For those who haven't read, I'm putting it in spoilers)
spoiler:

They probably would not leave Lucie's dead body anyway. 'A slight detour', perhaps?


Just my opinion.

_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/3/2008 2:50:33)

*dies*

I'm guessing I didn't get the point across about the Hunter with "tall, dark, and handsome?" Think of him as looking somewhat like Tyrese Gibson (Transformers, Sergeant Epps; 2 Fast 2 Furious, Roman Pearce) or that Jimmy Jean-Louis (Heroes, The Haitian). =)

Edit: Just checked, in Chapter 3 I did refer to him as "the dark-skinned Hunter".



mastin2 -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/3/2008 3:07:35)

(*Casts Status Effect_"Depression" to bring _Dep back*)

Like I said, crazy, impossible theory...

I do await the next chapter--I really would enjoy to see some elements of the former chapter four in there as well!



jerenda -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/7/2008 20:55:18)

Hello again! I've decided to read another chapter either before or after I post for my RP's... but it will get done tonight! *checks watch* Gah. Crunch time.

quote:

I cut her off and sighed.
Normally people get cut off by words, or a glare, or possibly a gesture. Your average person will continue to babble over a sigh. You might want to include the glare/gesture/whatever here. ^_^

Creepy. I officially don't like Lucie. *shivers*

*reads Chapter 2* Lucie has a demented sense of humor. I get the feeling she actually cares for her Angels... in a slightly more demented fashion than most people care for their pets. It's creepy but entrancing at the same time.

Chapter 3... yes, I'm hooked. ^_^

Where does she get her money from? I assumed that Chasers get money for turning in Angels, but she clearly doesn't do that, and according to her no one else does either.

And that explains why she went back to the alley. Thank you.

quote:

I was terrified of the Hunter, and he knew that, but I was along stronger than he was.
Along? Methinks I spy a typo!

quote:

The Hunter stepped out from behind his hiding spot and grinned down at me, unsheathing a steak knife.


From behind me, someone grabbed my wings and pulled me upright,
What's with the extra space?

So she does care about them, in a creepy demented way... and why would he start with the left shoulder? To show off his workmanship or something?

Chapter 4

quote:

Tears sprung to her eyes as the vivid image of Lucie, screaming in pain...
You never mention her screaming before... I'd add that to Chapter 3, if I were you.

quote:

"Really?" the boy asked, his body calming significantly.
...Really weird phrasing there. I'd readjust that, at least a little. And why are they talking to this random teenage boy? What's up with that?

Much better wing measurements, by the way. *goes to look for Lucie's wingspan* 18, excellent. ^_^

Neat. So, instead of the Chaser having Angels, the Angels will have a Chaser. I'm guessing that this relationship will be slightly different than Lucie's relationship to them... he probably won't be the "cruel evil overlord" that Lucie was... hmm. This is very interesting, I want to see how it plays out. [:D]



jerenda -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/13/2008 17:12:50)

I figured I'd better bump this a little. Hey _Dep, I added C&C to my last post for all the chapters you've got out right now. Write more, quick! ^_^



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/13/2008 22:49:40)

...You don't know how perfect your timing is, jerenda. xD

And, about why he cut the slit into the left side of her shirt...
quote:

The Hunter grinned as he used the steak knife to cut a slit into my tee shirt, revealing the scar he had given me on my left shoulder.


And for the "screaming in pain," I meant it that Grace heard Mary scream in pain, and in thinking back she thought it was Lucie screaming. I couldn't think of how to explain it, so I just left it as-is...


...And as for the relationship between Jake and the Angels, along with how he just "dropped in," Chapter 5 (being uploaded now) explains that... pretty much. Needless to say, Jake's going to have to learn that humans are no longer the top of the food chain. Angels are.

=)



jerenda -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/14/2008 16:02:43)

Does that mean I have more to read? *checks* I do! Yay!

So it was to show off his worksmanship.

That makes sense... ^_^

OK, now to read Chapter 5. Because I have to say, Jake's appearance is just too convenient.



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/15/2008 23:21:02)

... =D

Oh, and just to pre-empt any "you stole that from Wanted" concerning the line where Serenity says, "You apologize too much." ... That's completely taken from my own personal experience. I've been told that line many times over the course of my years.

=P



mastin2 -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/16/2008 0:19:23)

Don't worry. "You apologize too much" has been used many, many, many times before. (Often comically followed by "Sorr--err, I mean, yes." Or something like that.) I can name a dozen cases. (Especially with the "Sorry" interrupted.)



Dantmotckc -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/23/2008 23:29:06)

I'd like to point out that "You apologize too much." was also used in Tales of Symphonia.

also...no password as a password...genius! hehe.



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/24/2008 0:13:20)

xD I took the 'no password' idea from my mom, actually. Her laptop's admin account has no password, so the first time I tried to log in as her I spent a fruitless half-hour trying out different passwords. The ordeal stuck with me, lol.

Edit:

I've added small 'character profiles' to the first post. I'll get more characters up there with time... Basic information, frivolous stuff mostly... just figured I should. Oh, and there's no mistake on Miracle's Likes and Dislikes, I just copied what she put. *shrug*



mastin2 -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/24/2008 19:32:34)

Yea, read 'em last night. (By any chance, are you making excuses for NOT releasing a new chapter? Author's Fantasy--Two new outtakes, no new chapters. Angel: Outcast--profiles for the angels. No new chapters. Coincidence, or sinister plot? :o)

And, yea, people can like and dislike something at exactly the same time and/or like something during one time, hate it the next. Happens to all type of people.



jerenda -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/25/2008 21:19:32)

Ohh! Lucie has plans!! Forget backgrounds, I'm interested in the purpose section of those files! Lucie and Grace are related? Why am I not surprised? Well, I am, but somehow... it seems to fit. Makes sense.

Cute profiles, BTW, but hard to follow. *rubs eyes* Post more, quick! *pokes* (Yup, no edits for you. I read it forever ago and am only now getting around to comment, and have no time so you don't get a reread. =P I may get time later, after I get back. *points to siggy*



_Depression -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (7/28/2008 14:40:52)

The 'Purpose' section of the folders will be opened in due time. And yeah, in retrospect the relation between Lucie and Grace could be expected...

Anyway, I'm going to try to get Chapter 6 done while I'm flying over the Atlantic... and maybe Chapter 7, too. In either case, I have no update for today, and will have no way to update until I return home in mid-August.

Tally ho!



mjbidner -> RE: Angel: The Beautiful Outcast [Comments] (8/16/2008 12:51:00)


Very interesting. I don't write, but I do a lot of reading, and I think that this is a very interesting story with a great story-line.


-keep writing!
