[QUOTE="Fladian, post: 119125, member: 5833"] Introductions and beginnings (which are mostly the same for me anyway) are the weakest part of me in writing a story. When you would give a good look at all my stories, you'll find that they all are the same in the beginning. I am not creative enough to start with something else, and everything I did try to begin with which was not the same, ended up as being quite bad. Therefore, I keep using this. "Never change a winning tactic." Funny that my most recent story (read: the one I am writing as we speak) starts the same way as you mentioned. This story, 'Where light is consumed', on the other hand, is something that does not belong in my book of good stories I made. Not at all. This story is, as I mentioned near the beginning, a completely failed story, but finished, and that is what was of importance. There are many (good) ways of going with this story, the concept is interesting and it could go many different ways. Unfortunately, I decided to pick the least most interesting of them all and also went downhill with the story, failing it to draw all the potential from the story. I personally try to avoid actions as long as I am able to. The fight with Herasiel in If, and only if was an exception. Not only was that, in my opinion, the best way to make screen time for Herasiel, it also helped the plot develop. Not to mention that I had to create a little action to not bore the readers with a story like that. Especially because all other characters were far from ready for combat at that moment. 'Action' isn't my favorite genre, but often necessary to keep people interested. I often tried to experiment other genres to replace the action. Which I think I will (eventually) succeed in. As for that story you said, James. I personally don't like stories about vampires. I find them quite dull, and very overused, making me unable to enjoy them. The ways to drive the story forward are quite... old now too. There are little original things to do with it, except when you want to aim for the non-serious (therefore, humor) part, which I don't think you will. [/QUOTE]
