comment Is the following piece of text comprehensible and written in good style?
@JohnS, That was a good start! But seriously though, I think he meant the body text of the question. By critiquing the body text through which he presented the problem his problem, he wishes to see if he'd made progress at communicating his thoughts more effectively as it's a general process that doesn't pertain to a single piece of writing... How's that for changing voice?

comment Can a book be written without an antagonist?
It's my third, actually! The explanation's very appreciated. Despite reading quite a bit about the phonology and dialects of English, this never occurred to me. I think that's because "Imma" doesn't have an apostrophe...

comment Can a book be written without an antagonist?
@Aerovistae, I imagined "an antagonistic theme" as being a story where there's something to fight against but isn't necessarily conscious (like universally accepted morals even if wrong/natural disasters/anything you can't predict or expect with logic/etc...). Now about "Imma getchu!", I don't know what that means, I couldn't find out and I'm seriously curious.

This's the one, I think: "Do you need help in learning how to outline?"

@Aerovistae, Paragraph number one in the second section is the crown of this answer, period.

comment Learning storywriting for videogames - where to start?
Now I got it. There are rumors (fat rumors) that Halo 4 might be coming to Windows 8 (yes; Win8, not PC) and I was hoping to pick it up. Comparing the graphics from those screenshots and the gameplay videos of H4, I do hope they redo something close to the Ringworld scene...

The original title made me think of paragraphs/chapters that portray short periods of time.

Can you find a link to the Ringworld scene in Halo? I can't find it anywhere and frankly know so little about the game to know what to look for.

comment Should cliffhangers be used in every chapter?
It's a sad truth. Shows like 'Glee' and 'The Vampire Diaries' get renewals on-demand while others like 'Fringe' sacrifice a limb for each new season. The general public (read: the current young/main demographic generation) hate endings, for everything. So a show about someone meeting someone then leaving, etc... every single episode gets 10 seasons (SmallVille/Gossip Girl) while others that need you to identify with a character's goal get 5 at best (Fringe/V).
