Oxidizer Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 Night dude, have a good day tomorrow.
Perry Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 thanks Andy, Can you age a few years please just for me?
emmasi Posted February 17, 2007 Report Posted February 17, 2007 The way I think of past and present tense is this. Past tense is like you're telling a story to someone - "This is what happened last week..." Present tense is like you're describing what you're seeing AS it happens - "This is what's happening right now." There's nothing wrong with writing in the present tense, it's just that most people write in the past. I think it's because past tense gives you time to reflect on a situation, to take in the thoughts and feelings of the characters. Present tense is more about action - it's more like the reader is experiencing their own thoughts and feelings as a reacting to the scene that's being set. You can create a lot of tension with that. I guess it all depends on what you're going for. We'll talk more when it's not 3am Now what's this I hear about a Buffy/H&A crossover!? I was planning to write a fic on that very thing some day, but I want to get all my other fics out of the way first.. Yeah, there's about 6 of them, and three of them are reeeally long Can you imagine Charlie as a vampire ?? Charlie with no soul!! I don't think I can, he's all about soul . But if his evil side were to take over completely... oooh... wouldn't want to be Rachel...

emmasi Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 I'm imagining Charlie being a lot like Spike: "I'm gonna find Kim, tie him up, and torture him until he likes me again."
Oxidizer Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 Now, see, Jem, that's exactly why I wanted you to be here to explain earlier/yesterday! That's what I mean (just put it across in a dull/confusion way ).
Perry Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 I'm imagining Charlie being a lot like Spike: "I'm gonna find Kim, tie him up, and torture him until he likes me again." I now would like to be Kim.
emmasi Posted February 18, 2007 Report Posted February 18, 2007 I'd like to be Charlie . Possibly with Robbie in a cage near by... Andy, do you wanna be Robbie? I promise I'll let you and Adam/Kim play together ? Let, force... same diff...
