The End of Story #2 / Message from the Authors
It appears we have reached the end of our second story here on Quick Shtick Writing! At this point we will take approximately one week off from writing before we start in on the next project.
As always, we encourage our readers to submit comments or e-mail letting us know how we're doing. Some possible questions to ask yourself, as a reader are:
- Did you like the story overall? Why or why not?
- Did the characters feel "real" to you? Why or why not?
- Was there any one specific point in the story that you felt was especially well-written? If so, what about it made it feel that way?
- Was there any one specific point in the story that felt "forced" or written poorly? Which point and why?
- What aspect(s) of the story could use the most improvement? (character development, character background, scenery, action, etc.)
- What aspect(s) of the story worked well for you?
- Do you think this is a storyline you would like to read more of, as our characters go forth on their quest? Why or why not?
- Does the "newest at the top" format of posting make it difficult to read? If so, would you prefer to load a chapter at a time and scroll down to read the latest entry or would that also be too complicated? Do you use the XML feed?
We would also like input from our readers as to any changes in "rules" we might make for the next storyline. And, we're throwing around the idea of putting the first paragraph of the next story to the readers to write, so if you have an idea for the next story - be it rules or a starting point - feel free to send them along to us at rayndragon's e-mail, and we'll take a look! Perhaps you can give us a new challenge to try out in this little writing web site of ours.
The next project will likely start on Saturday the 22nd of January, or by the following Monday at the latest. In the meantime, we'll be doing some updating to the web site and moving the story we've just finished into it's own section.
We hope to hear from you!
