The Hidden: Discussion

Curubethion · 10-17-2007, 01:22 AM

Okay, so this is something I'm currently working on in between classes and papers and whatnot, a serial of sorts. Anyway, let me know what you think...

The Hidden

And be warned, there's plots aplenty to be found here.

(GRR!!! How did I get caught by the 90 second rule?? No way that wasn't 90 seconds!)

Nautipus · 10-17-2007, 11:01 AM

Wow, that really grabbed my attention. This first post was very artistic, and seems to lay out a neat little....what's the word......I dont know. But it's cool.

Acalewia · 10-17-2007, 05:03 PM

Oh wow., Great hook. Glad to see you back, even if it's temperary. Keep the posts coming. You got my attention

Curubethion · 10-18-2007, 11:04 PM

Thanks! Episode 2 is up, I should be getting one up each week.

Acalewia · 10-19-2007, 12:25 PM

And it looks like America is going to hell in a hand basket

I like how you jump from person to person, kinda telling enough of their story to grab your attention. Nice

Curubethion · 10-21-2007, 08:13 PM

America is indeed in a bit of...insecurity. Always fun. Just you wait...

And I really do like doing the different viewpoints, it's kinda like a TV show in a way. It's fun. And it gets good next episode...

Curubethion · 10-26-2007, 01:02 AM

Er, yeah, there's Episode 3.

Acalewia · 10-26-2007, 05:33 PM

That's was cool. For a minute there I thought Troy was going to releve some stress in that scene, if you know what I mean.

Who's the racist? And who was the guy that actually beat Sam? So many questions. Good job, Curub.

Curubethion · 11-02-2007, 02:56 PM

Hey, thanks! Hopefully all those questions will get answered over the course of the series...and many new questions will come...

Yeah, there's Episode 4. A lotta action, a couple new questions.

Acalewia · 11-03-2007, 12:20 PM

Yep your right. A couple of new questions. Ok actually quite a few new questions

Curubethion · 11-09-2007, 05:00 PM

Well, let's see what happens to those questions with this episode...yeah, a few important things happen.

***Earniel*** · 11-09-2007, 05:41 PM

It's certainly starting to get interesting. Although the many scene-jumps annoy me a little bit. Still, the formatting, with a breaking up into episodes, the short introduction each episode and the scene-jumps I'm sort of reminded of the TV-series 'Heroes'. I'm wondering if that had an influence?

Curubethion · 11-09-2007, 11:24 PM

Actually, I've never seen Heroes, but the format is a bit influenced by TV serials. If I had more time on my hands, I'd be able to write more larger chunks...I sometimes struggle with striking a balance between short snips of action and longer chapters.

(Although, I should add, the concept itself is inspired in part by the premise of Heroes)

The Telcontarion · 11-10-2007, 12:57 PM

Alright, this thread is so god damn annoying. You are so wrong...

I am reading this bloody thing for how long now trying to find a lik or something these amazing episodes you are talking about before I finally realize that hidden means, "hidden?"

There are no episodes are there?...asses...

The questions are still there and some more

You did answer the question about Jim though

It does remind me of Heroes, now that Earniel has pointed it out

Oh, btw, the tile for this episode reminded me of a chapter from LWW

Sorry about that, a link is now in the first post.

Curubethion · 11-17-2007, 04:27 PM

Oh, yeah...and I haven't been writing lately, because of an influx of college work, but that's nicely tapering down now.

Curubethion · 12-01-2007, 01:33 PM

College be letting up a little on the workload, so there's Episode 6, in the story thread!

Acalewia · 12-03-2007, 02:29 PM

Wow! There's cathloc priests still around in this world? nice surprise. What's with Troy? And who is the E-mail from?

Curubethion · 12-03-2007, 09:39 PM

Yes, a nice surprise. Just one that kinda occurred to me. The way characters were coming along, it just seemed to make sense. And as for your next two questions...well, that's to be answered...in the future.
