OP characters are fine, so long as it's explained why they're so powerful.

They have to be likable too, at least to me. Dislikable OP characters just turn out dumb in my opinion.

Now more to the point, I am...vastly behind on this story, I'll need to catch up in a few days, been on a lot today and need a general internet break...



Condor -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (4/21/2011 22:15:34)

;-; wow perfect



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (4/21/2011 22:22:54)

Perfect? haha far from it! I still have much to learn, and as I said earlier in the thread I plan on rewriting part 1 of TLoaH as it is very lacking compared to the rest of the story. :)

@megakyle, The bacon quest I'm not sure, I haven't thought about it really. As for Ravenloss yes definitely. Dante Lacan Viper has given me loads of ideas for Raven's soul ally, it is just too good to pass by [;)]



Dwelling Dragonlord -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (4/22/2011 3:08:51)

@Mritha: So you're keeping the little meat-eating monster? He absolutely creeps me out, but it's your call.



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (4/22/2011 9:52:32)

@Dwelling, If you are talking about Twilly then no. I will change that to dried fish when I go back and fix all those typos. I'm just..........procrastinating. >_> There is a lot of typos that need to be fixed......



superjars -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (4/22/2011 10:23:55)

I know I said on IRC that I had been reading Legacy of a Hero, but I was actually reading A DragonLord's Loss. I've read through the first couple chapters, and I found some grammar stuff, but I can't be sure that hasn't already been addressed, so I won't worry about it at this time.

What I do want to touch on and something that would be good for most writers (me included) is the way you handled descriptions of people. When you introduce a character, I noticed that you switched from a story-telling mode to a fact-and-figures mode: "This is what is going on... They look like this and this and this and this." Description is good and necessary as a part of writing, but it shouldn't detract from the flow of the story nor should it change the voice of the story. When you introduce characters, make it a part of the story. Rather than telling the reader what someone looks like, have a character be looking them up and down and being struck by their appearance. Maybe have the other person be offended by their attention. Good books that I have read and enjoyed never stop the action to give a description. Even if you don't fully know what a character looks like for a couple chapters, that's totally fine.

Now, I noticed you did something like this the first time you meet Mritha, and that's a good thing. I think what you did for her is pretty much what I'm talking about. :)



Dwelling Dragonlord -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (4/22/2011 11:20:51)

@Mritha: Ah, okay then. I can wait.

Did you read my two latest chapters, by any chance?



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (4/24/2011 10:58:08)

HEy Mritha, how will Raven soullally be like?, btw I think that you should make that third story about mechquest, perphas the first Raven in the history, but that will be wierd I don't know, you should just try it thought



megakyle777 -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/1/2011 14:38:07)

Just out of interest, do you have any idea when the next update will be?



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/1/2011 16:17:35)

Thank you super! I will try to work on that :)

@Dwelling, Aye, and loved them :)
@Delex, Ahh you will just have to wait and see [;)] But if I do write the MQ story Raven will not be the main character as it is before her time :)
@kyle, Sometime after the war in DF is over [;)]



Verethragna -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/1/2011 17:59:51)

@Mritha: Great. Now if everyone thinks her Soul Ally is a stupid idea, they'll all come blame me. Thanks for that. [;)]



Super's comment made me recall something I once read in an MST:

"Now that the soldiers' clothes have been described in painstaking detail, we will now kill them off with no impact whatsoever on the plot."



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/1/2011 18:07:08)

hahaha don't worry about it Dante, it is a wonderful idea. And it perfectly complements the colors! :D and your final comment made me laugh so hard XD



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/1/2011 18:21:54)

So M'Lady could you tell me the name of you SA *puts puppy eyes in his deformed face* Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


What ya think of mah new siggy M'LAdy?



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/1/2011 18:34:50)

Sorry Delex, tis a suprise :) And yes I do like your sig.



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/1/2011 18:36:52)

THxs M'Lady *bows down*, and could you give us a date for ypur next chapter


M'Lady when will your next chapter be up?



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/5/2011 21:39:53)

Delex please stop asking for the new chapter, I have told you again and again that I will write it as soon as I can but school has kept me very busy these past few weeks and I simply do not have the time right now. I am graduating in less than three weeks and trying to get ahead in my schoolwork so I can fight in the next war in DragonFable. I will write the next chapter as soon as I can but constantly asking for it will not make it come any sooner.



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/5/2011 21:49:22)

I knows, but you said to kyle that you will post it a few days after the war :(, I am like how I am,



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/5/2011 22:00:44)

No, I said sometime after the war. I will write it when I have the time to do so, not before.



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/6/2011 5:45:45)

I am srry I misunderstood you :(

I apologize for bothering you so much, btw you are a really good writter, if you started making books I'll probably buy em :)

Btwe if you are interested in my story I posted an update to it, srry for bothering you again :(



Baron Dante -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/8/2011 20:08:18)

I'm clearly experiencing withdrawal symptoms... I'm already planning a story of my own. xD

So anxious, cause if I'm lucky, next chapter will have more of Dantea. :P Although, make sure you don't hurry with it... we have a war on our hands soon enough.


...the scary thing is that I have the whole chapter one basically outlined. Of course, I suck at writing, so depending on the potential opinion of people about the chapter, it may just work as a background story and nothing more. :P Well, we'll see if and when I make it. :P



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/8/2011 20:11:23)

I told you Mrithy your story is like a drug, you left people wanting more XD, my whythdrawn effect was adding a new chapter to my history :P



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/8/2011 20:47:10)

@Baron, Yes, each of the other Heroes that helped in the Undead Invasion, as well as a few new additions will be in this chapter :)

I had a bit of time so I got to work on the next chapter, with any luck I can squeeze it in before the war but no promises. I already hit a snag, I forgot to introduce Raven to Maya while she was in Oaklore [:@]



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/8/2011 20:54:54)

You can do it when you rewoke your chapter



Mritha -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/8/2011 21:05:59)

Aye that I can Delex.......ok everyone pretend Raven and Maya met back in Oaklore! [:D]



Mortarion -> RE: =DF= The Legacy of a Hero (5/8/2011 21:08:50)

ok *imprints in his mind that raven meet maya at oaklore using a machine* WHo is next [:D]
