Guess who's back!!!

something about you rubs me the wrong way.

Way to jump the gun GvJ. If it irks you, he doesn't seem to be a frequent poster...or you could just put him on your ignore list. I don't see anything he's done wring to justify your training for doing that, but whatev. What is is

Problems I'm having with The Monster King...
-Plotting
-Characterization
-Research
-Writing badass action scenes.
-Comedic repartee.

That's about all I can think of right now. I'm dealing with a bunch of crap in my life at the moment, and I haven't made much progress on my other pet project.

what kind of research because if its just Godzilla then that should be easy for you because Toho Kingdom and theres plenty of movies of Godzilla and the other monsters' acts or something like that. basically Godzilla research is easy

It may be something non-Godzilla related. It took me a considerable amount of research of the JLA and the DC universe in general, which took up a LOT of time, which is why "War of the Kaiju" took so long to get done.

[Gexistentialist]

I want my fanfic to have an air of realism to it, in regards to military procedure, education, politics, history... It's like a Metal Gear Solid game; despite the bullshit, there exists plausibility. How would the Japanese government react to years upon years of monster attacks? What's Ichiro's school life like? What is his curriculum? How would the military handle what they know is going to be a losing battle with Godzilla? How would the presence of giant monster affect the timeline as we know it?

[Gexistentialist]

Any website that can help, besides Wikipedia?

Guess who's back!!!

Who be this person???...anyway i understand your problems Gexostentalist, i've had those same problems. Pretty much why i decided to just drop how much realism i have envolved with my stories mainly because college is consuming up much of my free time and im ust lazy of actually doing research

[King Caesar]

skreeonk...I just lost my inspiration for Voyage...damn damn damn. I really need to put more thought in before I start posting. Now I've turned my attention to the Game of Death. I'm gonna try and keep this as close to what Bruce Lee had intended it to be, but spruce up the Tower scene with some new characters (since Inosanto and Abdul Jabbar can't reappear).

Any suggestions for:
1) What's at the top of the Tower that the Syndicate wanted
2) What should happen prior to the Tower scene.

[kikomia]

1) What's at the top of the Tower that the Syndicate wanted

You mean what we want to be on the top or what was originally going to be?

[King Caesar]

What you as fans would think be at the top. Bruce Lee never specifically said what was on the 6th floor, but the Korean Mafia wanted it. So...that could be plenty of different things. I'm trying to get ideas so I can continue the massive prewrite I have going.

[kikomia]

Well uh..uh...uh could it be fictional or it has to be real?

[King Caesar]

Nothing too fictional (I.E. The Armory of the Gods, with the finest of weapons crafted from Zeus' man tears; a mythical creature), but it would help if it was creative and had some meaning behind it (maybe treasures...but what type?!)

Well he can fight with Jason Bourne (yeah i know) and when he defeats him a passage opens where the stairs where and leads him to the secret of life: Potatoes. You can change the Potato part.

[Flygon King]

Perhaps, we could have it be that the "Treasure" is actally acreture that has been kept locked up there for untold years, and has now ben unknowingly unleased due to the tower being scaled... Just an idea...

[King Caesar]

>_> ...no. Nothing surreal...the focus is on the style of fighting and finding superiority in mixing them all together. Having a creature--or potatoes--would detract from that. I'm not saying it can't be cool, but let's keep an eye focused on the purpose of the original plot, please.

[Flygon King]

If that is the case... then have what is up there be a massive storage of gold, hidden away from the rest of the world. Who wouldn't want that?
