Does anyone have any advice for writing fight scenes? I found myself really struggling and needing to rewrite and rethink a few times but still in the end feeling rather unsatisfied. Feel like it is rather hard to make it flow naturally and had difficulty in thinking of what should go where or if there should be dialogue in some places or none and so on and so on...

@Kyoka

I feel like do it in a way that seems more natural, you can gloss over as DeadCruiser suggested. I tend to describe it, I never found I was particularly good at writing fight scenes but someone told me I'm okay.

Honestly take a look at what your favourite writers here do, you get some that go more poetic and some that go more descriptive. The most important thing is this: Find your own style.

I've not read your post yet but I will, and if I see anything I'll throw you some pointers in your PM, but we're all pretty friendly here and quite happy to give feedback/advice.

@Kale19 so did Brawn jump out the plane? Its kind of unclear. Like is falling out of the sky a metaphor or is it legit?

On a different note, just so people are aware, I'll be away for the majority of next week as of Tuesday. I'll probably still be able to reply to messages, but won't be able to sit down and actually write

@Natty

How dare you. I want more Tim.

Guess I'll need to settle for Dick.

@Sep and @Kyoka

How should this next few posts work? I've never really done any RP's with a lot of inter-character communication, so I'm not sure if this is one of those 'do a Collab things' or 'post and wait for everyone else to post things'.

@Kale19

We'll try back and forth and if it becomes tedious we'll switch to a collab.
I will say in future its best check in before you go head towards someone else,

GAMMA BASE // NEVADA

Bruce chuckled as Jen opened the door. He was surprised that she was currently Jennifer and not She-Hulk. Jen could get away with it, while Bruce's relationship with Hulk wasn't ideal. He could exert some influence, but he wasn't in control and he couldn't remember what happened. Jen and She-Hulk seemed to be one and the same, beyond a little bit of extra confidence when she was big and green.

"Yes it's still the morning, but some of us have work to do and can't just lounge around all day-" He rolled his eyes at her, bringing up the tablet with the Gamma Energy readings before an alarm started sounding throughout the base. His contacts flared slightly as the sudden light shift and increased noise caused a slight spike in adrenaline. Closing his eyes he swallowed and paused for a second, he wasn't at risk of changing. Though it was always best to wait until his adrenaline levels came back down.

"Attention all personnel. We have unidentified craft inbound. I repeat, unidentified craft inbound. All personnel report to your duty stations." The message continued to repeat four more times until it stopped with only the alarm sounding. S.H.I.E.L.D agents ran through the corridor behind him, many of them slowed when they saw Bruce. Deciding to walk past him slowly rather than risk running into him.

Bruce grumbled under his breath. "If it's not one thing then it's another..." Turning the tablet back to face himself he flicked through several windows until he had tapped into the sensor suite. Running it through a spectrum analysis Bruce sighed as he noticed there was a distinct Gamma signature, one he was already familiar with. Pushing the tablet towards Jennifer. "I'll let you deal with this one Jen. Looks like Amadeus Cho has tracked us down and I-" He moved his hands as he tried to find the right words, his frustration evident "-I can't deal with this right now. I have no idea if Bruce or Hulk would be the one to greet him and I honestly don't know what would be worse. Find out what he wants, then meet me in the lab we've got a situation developing."

Turning around he stalked down the corridor. "Used to just have to worry about one Gamma-Monster running around, now I swear there's a new one every other Thursday. Can't get anything done.

@Natty asked a page back what characters (other than our own) people are looking forward to, and it seems to have gotten missed so I'm bringing it back.

I'm first and foremost really excited for @Master Bruce and his Batman. I'm excited to see an older but still active Batman. He's not retired and has come back. He's just kept going, and he's got a very grown-up Family to look after.

@John Table is a great writer, with some pretty unique concepts. We're used to seeing Superheroes try and juggle a double life, but how do you juggle a double life when your 'normal' life has you CONSTANTLY being monitored, watched, scrutinized and generally kept under a microscope.

@Hillan has a unique concept with Ghost Rider and Raven, with two competing father figures. That'll be interesting.

I like a lot of the concepts going on, but these are just a few that I want to highlight. What about you guys?

@Kyoka guess you're going hunting with Dad
