    Something I've done :)

    Hey Everyone,

    Not sure if this thread belongs here or not... But, I have been writing a story, it's about 60 pages or so now in word and it's about my Mage, Gwenavier and it also includes my Druid, Ardaion.

    I just wanted to share it with other WoW fans and get some feedback/comments. I will accept all feedback, though, please keep the vulgar language to yourselves.

    Here's a link to my document since it's much too large to post directly into a thread.
    Gwenavier's Story - Adventures of a Frost Mage - Megaupload
    Gwenavier's Story - Adventures of a Frost Mage - Scribs - You can read it directly off the site instead of downloading it.

    It's not 100% done, still needs some proofreading and some other minor things. Also, if you've given enough feedback on changes that get done in the story, I can add your name to the acknowlegement page My Aunt wants me to publish this story into an actual book, not sure what I'm going to do yet but who knows!

    I'm looking forward to what you guys think

    It's ok, Aerallon. There will always be uneducated, illiterate people who feel that it is necessary to ridicule those that are smarter than them. Because they feel inferior to those that enjoy a good piece of writ, it's an inherent defensive reaction to sow simple-minded sarcasm and cover their insecurities by lashing out at literary lexicology.

    If I had the leisure of adequate time I would gladly proofread what you have written. An eye for literary detail is possibly as much a talent that one is born with as the innate ability to expound meaning from clusters of text.

    Best of luck in finishing the story!

    Edi: So far, I have read the first five pages or so, and am enjoying it immensely. You have a very friendly style of writing, and although I disagree with some of the grammar, it is very well written. You tell a story, and that is what matters the most. I look forward to getting through this tale in a land I know so well! (Besides, it doesn't hurt that I play a mage as my main!).
    For the Alliance!

    Gonna give it a DL and read it later, interesting idea. Not all of us on this forum are illiterate tools who derive some sort of meaning from being an uneducated jackass.

    I love how people become arrogant little sods behind a computer screen, at the end of the day, 80% of people on mmo replying with over used quotes are 11-14 years old.

    Nice work Aerallon

    Thanks! I will do that right away! I'll leave both links up though, just in case

    Droes: I would have to say I started it 2 years ago, got busy with work and stuff, then was finally able to pick it back up 5 months ago and have been working on it nearly every day since.

    For the rest of you, I hope you enjoy it and look forward to hearing from you! I accept all feedback, negative or positive

    The Scribd's link is now working and if you do not wish to download my document (Some people are paranoid ) you can simply read it directly off the site. No need to sign up either!

    Thanks to Olison Schmolison for the site! ;D
    Happy reading!

    I still hold to my initial thought after having read through more than half of the story: it is very well written and is a great story so far. However, I can't help but say a little more. Not that positives should always have negatives to balance them (and please don't take criticism negatively as it is meant to assist with improvement).

    If you are open to grammatical and structural criticism, you may like to consider these possible areas of improvement: frequently mixed tenses (a big issue, actually); occasional prepositional errors; occasional confusing of subject and object pronouns; occasional typos and word misspellings (very minor and easily overlooked by any writer); incorrect use of punctuation (another big one but mostly only an issue for the more pedantic).

    Gonna finish it sometime!

    I think you've encouraged me to continue writing mine, though not on the exact same topic.
