Topic Subject: The Crystal of Supremacy - Discussion Thread
posted 05-30-06 09:54 AM EDT (US)   

Hey there, and welcome to the discussion thread of 'The Crystal of Supremacy', a story slash history depiction of Sira, Realm of the Flames. The story thread is here, in case you're having trouble finding it.

I would like constructive criticism on my writing and the story. Of course, it's still a bit early to pass judgement on the story since I've only translated roughly 3-4 % of it (it was originally written in Swedish). Also, coming down on minor grammar errors is unwanted since I was never born an Englishman and will never be one either. However, if there's something you really don't understand, alert me and I'll do my best to explain it to you.

Lastly, I have tons of additional material related to Sira which I probably won't post in the story thread, so if you want to know more about a certain people/event/legend, feel free to ask and I'll post some stuff in this thread.

Haha, I'm stickied, yet no-one has replied to my post.
Nevertheless, thanks to whoever did this. I promise to continue the translation.

I stickied you Oliver, your welcome.
I was not sure if you wanted people to actually interupt your story with their comments. You can make a discussion thread for this story for people to post in and it will maintain the story and keep it just for the story posts. Or you can request we post in here.

I personally like the discussion threads. It allows us to save your stories to the site with out all the comments. Eventually we may have an area that looks like this. All the storys in there are either solo or team written. But the discussion threads were seperate.

Aha, I understand. Tell you what, delete this message and the two above and I'll change the layout to fit with those at the page you linked to. I kinda like their style. If you guys like my stuff then perhaps I could create a discussion thread later.

Just hope people are actually reading this.

Yep, we're reading it

I'm with Lady Arcola, though - I didn't want to mess up your thread. We can't delete posts, so why not turn this one into the discussion thread, and you copy your first post into an all-new story thread? We can change the thread subject title for this one.

So, I suppose we can comment upon this now? In that case, I'd like to inform you that I've been reading your work (with a bowl full of olives), and it's amazing!

Good idea, Kester. Unsticky this and change the title to "The Crystal of Supremacy - Discussion Thread" or something like that, and I'll post a new story thread this afternoon. Think I'll change the layout a bit, now that HTML is activated.

Thanks Pulk. Being Indian, I'm sure you have noticed/will notice a few connections to Hindu religion and mythology, which I have done a lot of reseach in.

Ofcourse, one of the three reasons why I like to read this stuff. The other being the awesomeness of the story, ofcourse.

The third is just 'cause its you!

Yes, this is very good. However it ay be alittle to cosmic for my tastes. I don't think it all to necessary to reveal how the universe was created. You know, starting from the beginning. Too complicated. And yes, I am aware of Hindu mythos. Nice job though. I enjoy it.

Haha, of course it is Darchot! The text I'm translating was purely written for myself as a complete cronological account of the history of Sira. This is not the actual novel you're reading, in fact we're still tens of thousand years from the events that take place in "The Cyrstal of Supremacy". Heck, I haven't even mentioned the crystal yet! The main reason I wrote this manuscript was to sort out all the thoughts in my head so I could contemplate on the story from a bird's perspective. Think of this as my own 'Silmarillion'...

Aww Pulkit, you're too cute! *hugz teh Pulk*

AH!
Very good. I'll leave the TOTAL history of my world to speculation. ^_^ But for every race or such I'll be sure to detail every thought on the matter. Anyway I'm looking forward to ANY character developement heh

No worries, people, I will continue soon. Been busy practicing Mongolian throat-singing and other whacky stuff lately.

That is just lovely! As we progress forward the thirst in me for more keeps on increasing! Your work is not only interesting and exotic, but also professional and readable as a book in itself! Good job, Oliver! Looking forward to the next part.
