Re: [NEWS]The "What the Heck is He Doing? + Updates" Thread

Well, the bad news is...I kinda stopped working on it a long time ago. The good news? Ford's post reminded me I've left this here without even continuing it! I have some new ideas that may or may not fit into the molding of OSaS; if nothing else, I have a new political entity that towers above the n...

Re: [NEWS]The "What the Heck is He Doing? + Updates" Thread

05/01/09 Well, I feel like OSaS isn't...doing what it needs to. Of course, since it's my creation, I blame myself. In my honest opinion, well...I think I started writing to see if others would like it, and not to see if I would like it. My writing technique is only causing internal confusion, and in...

Re: Collab Universe of the Sci-Fi Kind!

Yeah, school's kicking my ass, giving me a hard time for trying to focus on OSaS, as I understand what you mean when you say you're not focusing. Sadly, I still think about OSaS all the time - and Exodus, for that matter. And yes, I like that name for it :D Thankfully, I've only got a few more weeks...

Re: [STORY]The First Turn On A Long, Hard Road

************* Karmach found himself sitting in the well-lit, gray mess hall. Several other Marines were together in groups, but a few like himself sat alone. After the unexpected conversation with Cornellis, all he could feel now was the need to be alone. He stared blankly at the simple , black mug,...

Re: [General]The Return of CHARACTER CONCEPTS

As for Iron Eagle, I like the idea. He sounds like a realistic take on 1940s/1950s pulp heroes like Commander Cody or Doc Savage or, for that matter, Captain America, but not going into total "beware the superman!" territory. I could probably use Iron Eagle as an American volunteer with t...

Re: [General]The Return of CHARACTER CONCEPTS

Here's one that got in my head recently - a slow-aging, WWII vet superhero known as Iron Eagle . Iron Eagle is one of those classic heroes, like Rocketman: he wears a tan leather jacket with an Eagle burned into the back; a simple, gray shirt; black cargo pants; military boots; and a nice, eye-area-...

Re: Random Worldbuilding Ideas of Yours

My crazy idea is as follows: The modern day word is the setting for a background war between the Haemons(human, light) and the Daemons(demons, dark). However, humanity has some misconceptions about their place in this universe. In fact, the Daemons are the champions of order. Their chief color, blac...

Re: The "What the Heck is He Doing? + Updates" Thread

2/27/09 - OSaS still lives, if only wheezing at the moment! Added more story to the Long Road arc, and I'm already in the works for another arc...one with a differing perspective, one that will shed light on what seems to be the minor Avon conflict...and what's really only just beginning.

Great! I kinda have myself an idea of a "story arc" if you will...although you could probably call it more of the ENTIRE SEASON arc. I won't be home again until Sunday(aka tomorrow for me), so I'll PM you and let you know my general ideas.

However, the turning point occurs when Tazan, in an attempt to deter an enemy nation from continuing attacks on border settlements, uses ...

Sitcky Idea Stuck to Me Brain

This idea, which sprung forth while brainstorming on how to resuscitate my poor OSaS(an idea I love, yet never actually work on), had quite literally bugged me for some time. It's partially Star Trek, partially BSG, partially WTFLOL. Essentially, the idea works like this: on a Terra-like world, huma...
