Either RolePlayerGuild.com is glitching, or everyone is studiously ignoring my PMs.

Stuff I am going to write eventually. Some of my other RPs are slowing down, which will mean less of a chance of getting writing fatigue. So that's a blessing in disguise.

How are you feeling about the sluggishness of your other RPs? I'd imagine it's unpleasant, to say the least.
"Someone's passing out tonight!" was the only part of Solomon's declaration that anyone heard. Price could have hugged the courier for joy. He let out a whoop and slapped the boy on the back. He turned around and nearly shrieked with fright at the death-glare from the short ranger in the corner.

"No- no alcohol," Price murmured, remembering his orders.
The short ranger continued staring at him.
Price gulped and scooted over next to Solomon. He opened his mouth to speak, but for a few moments, he stammered, unable to look him in the eye. "I'm- I'm- you know, I'm- sorry. You've tried to be a real pal, and I won't soon forget you. Truly, I'm sorry..."

He drew his sword and sliced at Solomon.

The whole room rung with unsheathed swords.
Yeah I'm fine. Just in thought. and work has been brutal. Been getting extra rest

Oh my goodness. You absolutely need extra rest. Heck, I could use extra rest. 10-hour shifts are kind of brutal, even though I've only got 4 of them.

What's on your mind?
I think I've found a way to speed up the introduction of Girl #2.

Everything okay?
As for specific plot details, I want to start things off with a bang. Writers are often fond of beginning with dark, cool prologues and epic battles; why not put our heroes square in the middle? And they don't even have to be involved in the same way - one could be a soldier enduring the onslaught, one could be a general sweating over his next move, another could be a civilian caught in the crossfire. One way or another, our heroes should be introduced in a fantastic opening battle to get our blood pumping.

I'd imagine that the battle would be a pyrrhic one so that the heroes would be forced to work together to survive the aftermath. What happens after that is up to you! ;)
I like the plot! But I'm slightly confused by it. Who's the "villian " and the "hero"?

I'm terrible at explaining things, I can't really tell you why I'm kinda confused umu mind explaining the plot more?


Sure!

Our characters are the heroes. Our job is to stop Caradras from destroying all humanity.

Caradras is designed to be a tough villain. He's not the "Muah ha ha, I'm so evil and I love it" sort of villain - he actually believes in his cause, and he'll put up a fight. He'll try to murder the protagonists, not because he just loves killing people, but because he genuinely thinks it's the right thing to do. By being both strong and conscientious, he poses an incredible threat. He may not be the hero of our story, but he's the hero of HIS story, and from what I've read, that's what makes a compelling villain.

He's actually my first foray into handling such a strong villain, so wish me luck!
@Samdragonx
It's true, death will be a big part of the story. I could use that for "transportation" to other story arcs. Good idea! :D
@Thinslayer

What's up?

Had some story ideas I'm really wishing I could implement in The Faraway Land, but it's far too late to rework the intro.

Anyway, the Dragon is supposed to attack the castle and face off against Princess Isabella, but ineffable's been AFK for a while and may not have time to post. All this waiting is making me ansy.
Dangit. I'll make it work.
Crud, the next major scene involves @ineffable, who's been super busy for the last week. ;_;
