I'm about to write perhaps the most sexual sentence I have ever written for the next 8ES chapter. This is brave new territory, guys - fingers crossed it isn't awful!

Also, weather is nice. Either go into great detail on the sunset and the ambiance . . . or just say "it was raining." Very customizable for your needs, yet a large piece of the atmosphere can be addressed in that short of a sentence.

"Those clothes look pretty good on you, but they'd look even better on the floor."

Is it bad I interpreted the second sentence in a sexual manner? .-.

"Those clothes look pretty good on you, but they'd look even better on the floor."

The GVerse version would be more:
"Those clothes look pretty good on you, but they'd look even better on this smouldering pile of rubble."

"Those clothes look pretty good on you, but they'd look even better on this smouldering pile of rubble."

"I feel like those clothes would look pretty good on you, but my eyes are still superimposed with the afterimages of all these explosions."

Really? I was actually thinking of dedicating a filler chapter of OBC to two sex scenes (Jimmy/Flannery and Winona/Wallace). Which, to be fair to people who really don't feel like reading smut, is entirely optional.

 

[Flaze]

I think he's only kidding.

I think he's only kidding.

No, it is a fairly sexual sentence But note it is only a sentence, not a scene or anything.

In response to Jimmy, I just have never had much cause to include such a... sentence in a story. In most of my stories, the characters are either single or too young to really get down to business

Hey guys I'm back not that anyone cares now that I've started getting a better control over my schedule.

I'm going to write something soon I swear.

Too young, no fun. (I swear guys the age of consent is sixteen in OBC!USA Flannery suggesting her and Jimmy "teach" Roxie was totally legal and would not at all get her arrested OKAY)

And it isn't really like this chapter is going to be entirely without reason; fighting a secret organization hell-bent on creating a fascist new world order should result in some well-deserved downtime, right?

Oh, and welcome back despite never having conversed with you, FullMoon! I'll review your story if you review mine! If I'm not a lazy fucking bum again that is.

Hello there! Good to hear you're back! I did hope not to be kept waiting for the next update. Ahem.

But seriously, take as long as you need. Don't mind me. I'm here if you need me.

 

[Jersey Jimmy]

Jeez... I'm writing the next chapter of OBC right now, and even I feel bad for Gerasim. Why do I feel such strong feelings for fictional characters?

 

[jackatlasred]

I don't know fictional characters are great sometimes.

Hey guys, I havent posted in the thread in a while since i mostly just read through. I was wondering though, for all of you who write characters, do you prefer making your own characters or going off of characters created by other authors?
And if you prefer writing your own characters, do you get inspiration off of other created characters or are they completely made up?

Come post here all you want! We're friendly!
I prefer to create my own characters. A derivative of another's character just wouldn't sit right with me (excluding canon characters because fanfiction). And since I try to create them on my own, a lot of work is put into making them standalone. But I've made a parody of myself, which can be eye opening at times.

OMG SAME xD I knew I wanted to make myself as a character and have them act in a more obscure way than I normally do, but I've only ended up making myself respond the same way I would in my real life

 

[jackatlasred]

I like them to have their own personalities a mix of everything.
