    I just realized you put up the next writing prompt. I need to start figuring out what scene I'm going to do.

    I like what you have there, especially for a rough draft. I do like the characters you have. They all seem pretty unique and well characterized. You also do well with dialogue, which was a strength I saw in your other writing as well. You also do well with making the reader want to know more and read on (which I believe I saw a lot of comments about that in your original thread for the story).

    A couple of points that you can think about for revisions down the line or just to keep aware of for the future: The first paragraph is a bit redundant at times. The first sentence you have him staring at the screen, and then you establish that again in the third sentence. You have some good detail at what he's looking at, just saying "He stared into the monitor" again isn't really necessary. You could probably shorten the second sentence as well to something like "The room had a yellowish-green glow from the monitors" or something like that. That's probably just nit-picky on my part as a teacher whose job it is to always look for where things could be changed, haha.

    Another point (which I think is part of what people had said about "Show, don't tell) is when you discuss her face being filled with concern and whatnot. I'm not the best at this myself, but it does make a more interesting sentence to give more physical descriptions of the face to show that concern. I'm kind of blanking right now but something like "face was scrunched with concern" or something. Again, not a big deal and probably a little nitpicky, but it is just something to think about for the future as it makes the scene a little more vivid to the reader. Getting the perfect wording of that sort of thing doesn't really matter in the rough draft form, though.

    As I said, I like what you have! If I have time in the next few days, I should go back and read chapter 2 since I've only read chapter 1 so far.

    It might be a bit before I can get around to it. I did just start reading it and managed to get a phone call while in the middle of it

Video game site

by Pumpkin on 11-01-2017 at 03:02 AM
Hey guys, I made a fun, silly little video game site. I'll update it weekly with new stuff. I would also like a montly guest feature (there's a nifty one about Telltale right now by our very own KleinerKiller) so if you ever feel like writing about video games, let me know so you can get your stuff out to tens of people. Opinions, reviews, whatever you want. There's also a nifty site poll and I'll attempt a clay sculpture of the first poll winner! So check it out, share with your friends, etc etc.

Tekken Outfits!

by Pumpkin on 06-30-2017 at 05:43 AM
It's time to share the outfits it took me 2000 fights to unlock in Tekken 7! Unfortunately the customization options are somewhat lacking so I had to reuse clothes. Anywho, enjoy and prepare for a lot of pastel colours

Alisa:
(SPOILER)

This first one is just a pallet swap of her default outfit. I like these colours much better. Her hair is also blue and pink, my two fave colours (although not necessarily those shades)

Video Game Fashions: Atelier Sophie!

by Pumpkin on 04-29-2017 at 04:51 AM
Before Firis came along with her nifty outfits, we had Atelier Sophie! Most of the outfits are for Plachta, her companion, but she has two cute outfits of her own.

Also, a lot of these outfits are very... leotardy, so Imma go ahead and just label this whole edition NSFW just to air on the safe side!

So let's start with Sophie:



I like this outfit from the back

Note: I do not remember the actual names of each outfit but that's alright

First is the Wonderland outfit:
