Nerevar's Tale

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 1:15 am

Nerevar's Tale is a story I'm writing, I've written alot of stories over the years, and I've decided to begin one about morrowind, atm I have 4 chapters. I'll be hosting the story http://www.freewebs.com/starmodding/storynerevarstale.htm. I thought I'd let you guys know, one thing though: don't say 'there's a spelling mistake! I hate you' I know there are errors in there, I will try to fix them when I see them. I'm not perfect either :).
Hope you all enjoy it!

It would be easier for people to review your story if you just posted the chapters here. :shrug: It's your choice of course.

I understand, but people may have noticed I'm not online too much anymore, due to RL things I've been quite busy, so I don't really have time for these boards unfortunatly :)

edit: feel free to post reactions here though, but I won't be able to check it regularly, as for my site, I can.

Ah, well that explains your reasoning then. I can't promise that I'll look at it, but I will if I find the time or want.

Just by glancing at it I have two things to say. One, there's no reason to call the prologue "Chapter 0", because a prologue isn't a chapter. Two, your chapters are just big blocks of text. BREAK IT UP, PLEASE! It's awfully too hard to read because you don't have any spacing whatsoever. It would be in your best interest to change that.

That's pretty good, I like the first chapters. Although I thought it was strange a spymaster undercover (I guess "the addict" is his cover?) would sent you on a non-covert mission and blatantly put you need to go somewhere and ask someone for notes rather than secretly get it. Walls have ears you know.
The personalea could be more thought-over imo.

Even if I wanted to name the prologue 'chapter puprleelephant' I would do so :D
Normally the text should be somewhat more structured then it is now, It's proboably because of the updates on freewebs it glitched out, I'll check it out.

thanks :)
and about Caius, yes I am planning on doing a personal sketch of him in the story; somewhere about chapter 7/8 I think. He's a blade after all, he doesn't reveal who he is to just a mere stranger in my story! :P

I just wanted to say that chapter 5 is uploaded and readable :)

I glimpsed over it. Your writing is decent but there is nothing new about this story. The events are all from the game - how can I learn something new?

That's the problem with doing quest-fics. They're awfully hard to pull off and make interesting. I've only seen a few turn out halfway decent.

You will have to stick with me ;) The story is getting it's turn about chapter 10!
I'm only at Chapter 6 right now. I have to build up a solid base (by using game quests) before I can make stuff happen :)

indeed, but as I said, I'm building a base, and I have alot of great ideas! but the problem is I have to build the base first :)

The last chapter is finally getting to where I want to get, I had to use the MQ as a walking stick to build up, but I think I'm at a point where I'm able to give the story the spin I wanted it to give :). I've been quite busy the last week, but I'm writing the next chapter now! So don't worry, I'm not dead yet :P
