The captured ones
Since I didn't complete my fanfic for the fanfiction writing competition I'll start posting the chapters here...:fuzblink:
the chapters are not very long and I will upload the story once or twice in a week... -hope you guys like it :D The captured ones .... 1 ..... I refuse to open my eyes. Desperately I’m clinging to the darkness that is surrounding me. I squeeze my eyelids together as tight as I can, not letting any light reach me. But I don’t want to die alone. Not like this. Not in this hell. -to be continued- (if i get at least 1 reply) |
a few decent fictions have been popping up recently, and this is definitely one of them. very nice work there, almost poetic.
yeah, liking this, i'll be reading. |
I hate fanfiction!!!
~nice work... I should write some... Enchilado |
... I have trouble making sense of that comment Mr. Enchilado.
In other news, Scipionyx has made a very nice opening to what would have been entered in the competition, had it been finished in time. Sadly it wasn't but we can still admire it. |
Aren't you contradicting yourself a little, enchilado?
Nice work Scipionyx, this has a strange rhythmn to it, like MA said, almost poetic ^_^ I look forward to reading more :) |
That's really awesome! I'd love to see where it goes! (And so sad it didn't make it into the competition)
|
Very dark:fuzzle:... I will definitely read more.
|
whoa i come here and see this... I thought maybe ...if I'm lucky one person would have pity with me and reply to this... xD
http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/20...e62758350c.gifhttp://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/20...e62758350c.gifThanx everyone for starting to read!http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/20...e62758350c.gifhttp://fc07.deviantart.net/fs50/f/20...e62758350c.gif now I'm afraid to post the next 'chapter' or part (there are not really chapters in this story) enjoy :p (.... 2 ....) .... Silence. Everything remains dark, which terrifies me for a moment until I realize that someone has switched the lights off. I relax a little. There is not as much pain as I expected. Just my skin seems to burn a little and it feels terribly itchy. The same itchiness you feel when a wound is about to heal and you are not allowed to scratch it. I hear myself groaning in a disturbing unnatural way. The light was so bright that it stung my eyes. “WHERE IS HE?!?!” the irritated Mudokon screams so loudly that his voice becomes hoarse. After some yells and screams from a bunch of other Vykkers and Interns stumbling around, the Mudokon storms out of the room. He is swearing some words that I have never heard a Mudokon saying before. “Where-” his voice breaks and I recognize something familiar about it. Maybe he’s one of my cellmates… but I can’t remember anyone who has that voice. Yet I’m sure I know it. Despite the tremendous noise of the door being forced open I don’t react. I take a deep breath trying to suppress the feeling of nausea rising in me. -to be continued- (...if someone replies......was it confusing?) :fuzblink: EDIT: if something sounds weird it's because english is not my first language and perhaps i used wrong words to describe something plz tell me if that happens ^^; edit: the icon is not made by me... it's from dA xD |
That has got to be one of the best "What the?" moments I've seen in a while. I would have voted for this if I had been a judge, and if this had been finished. You're a woman of many talents. Or girl if you prefer.
|
oh what a shock. this has started with a bang.
nice going. |
Pretty good. I guessed what had happened when the guy on the table seemed confused about the maskless slig comment, but very cool.
|
Nice opening and second chapter :) I've never been fond of first of stories told in first person, but I quite like this.
|
Nice concept. While it's a matter of preference, I love stories told in the first person perspective. I love your style as well-- in MA's words, 'almost poetic'.
Looking forward to part three. :) |
Dang...but this got surreal quite quickly! In any case, this is good pacing and you have me hooked. Can't wait to see what happens next...
|
thank you!!! ^___^ i thought you had left OWF?... xD the last 3 drawings i uploaded here will not be at dA (if you're interrested) ... and yeah I knew the last one was a little too obvious ^^; i wanted to change it but was too lazy and then i forgot about it... ^^; ok I did not want to post the next chapter so soon [because I'm rewriting parts of this fanfiction ^^; ] but meh... thanx to everyone for reading untill now... I know you all know what happened in part 2 but Sabie (main character) has his problems to understand ^^; perhaps i shouldn't have split up the story that way but right now i don't have time to change it... ugh I don't have time for anything ;__; hope you will still enjoy :p (.... 3 ....) I puke. The only thing I hear is my blood rushing through my veins. The Vykker is observing us silently holding something with both of his hands. I close my eyes again repeating my wish to die. “Ok to avoid confusion I’ll call you 01…” He points at the Slig in my body. “…and you are 02. Understand?” oh and the Slig with who Sabie (02) switched bodies, looks similar to this guy now (some of you already know him ...) http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...6&d=1252531176 |
pretty cool. Though you want 'soul'. 'Sole' is a part of the foot, which sligs don't have :p
|
whoops xD lmao thank you *edits*
|
This makes me feel very bummed out that this didn't make it into the competition. I personally think it would have won.
|
Ooohhh...soul-switching ans science always makes for an interesting combination! You have a neat way of writing too; description instead of simply saying what's going on (if that makes any sense). I can't wait for the next part!!!
Naw...I just haven't had much time to hang around here or do Oddworld stuff. I really want to come back seriously though...:fuzsad: |
Nice work. Sorry for my last comment, what I meant to say was that normally I hate fanfiction but this is great.
~hope to read the next chapter soon. Enchilado |
this is great. and as i have said numerous times before; i love the old fashioned slig visor, which makes me like his character more.
|
thanx everyone ^__^
I promised the next chapter will be better didn't I? -well I read it again and it was good... but I thought if I rewrite it it will be even better (yeah because i wanted to add a character in it... since it isn't for the competition anymore there is no 5000 words limit...:p) and I wrote 2 stories for the darn competition, remember? -anyway... I want to change both stories I want to make them that way that their plots tie in with each other... but they still will be independent stories @__@ I will first finnish this story before i upload the other one... ah well I stop explaining you'll see when I post the next chapter... but I want to keep my promise so it may take a while because I realised that i messed the chapter up and that I have writers block xD sry about that ^^; |
I didn't remember that you wrote two. Curiously however, I wrote two as well. Because I deemed the first to be irrelevant.
Sounds interesting. Just need to wait for that chapter to come along. |
Ooh, it's getting ever more intense :D and is starting to make more sense now, I'm really liking this ^^
|
I shall look forward to it.
Also, I am dying to see that movie in (wait for it) your Avatar! :fuzgrin: |
That is the oldest joke ever. I made a pic from Avatar my avatar on another forum months ago.
Still, haha Splatty, good 'un old chap! |
Yeah I also can't wait for that movie ^.^ and for it's soundtrack aswell ...
after i saw the trailer it was already one of my fav's 8D this movie is going to be special kyaaaaaaaa <3 anyways a few hours ago at school i wrote my english exam and for the first time there was a true creative writing part in it :D yeah and so when I came home I thought I could reread what i have written so far... and I think the new character I wanted to introduce in this chapter can wait a while longer which means that I can upload the next chapter without him ...right. now. ...but with a few serious changes that i shouldn't have made... LoL and don't mind the 'swearwords' I should have used real ones i think xD enjoy :p ...or probably not...? - cuz i didn't... ah well i write too much... (.... 4 ....) As I open my eyes again I see everything through red visors. But the red light comforts me somehow, it filters away the billions of colors I have seen before and I can concentrate now. “Oh uhm he’s a failed experiment don’t mind him sir …his brain is erhm…damaged. I better bring him back to his cell…” I reply nervously, glancing at 01, my eyes speaking a silent warning. next update won't be so soon first of all there is some art i have to finnish and secondly I have like a billion exams till december 21. and WTF I should be learning chemistry right now!!! >:C duh |
i don't know why you give yourself so much grief over that chapter, because personally, i was impressed by it. i wasn't expecting the slig to shoot either. this is my favourite style of Oddworld fictional writing.
|
Interesting chapter - I like how you portray them suddenly trying to act like the other. It'll be interesting to see how they acclimatise (assuming 01 survived!)
Will they/he get used to their/his new body? |
:
it's just becasue I'm not a writer... I draw... and whatever I write is in my head as a drawing or a movie or comic or something... and If i reread what I wrote and i can't see any of these scenes i described as a picture in my head it is as if the story is completely dead. but that also happens when i reread it too much... so i don't really know how it is... and if I don't know that... you know i don't want to be annoying or something ... but if you think it was good... thank you :3 Edit: yeah everyone!!!!! learning chemistry is extremely boooring -.- |
While the whole idea makes for interesting possibilities, I had yet to expect this to happen. Now with an added clifhanger, it really hits the spot.:D
|
Very good chapter.
My favourite part by far was: “…” Oh yes. Totally wicked smiley there. |
thanx all guys!!!!!!!!! ^__^ (merry x-mas & a happy new year!!! :D)
ah I know it was too obvious xD *sigh* this story became a complete mess but I'd rather die trying to write than just cancle something! ...so i upload the next one now that you don't forget it all xD (i suppose you did anyways :p) i changed the plot ..a little... well.. i have to rewrite the following chapters, but I only rewrote the next 3 parts so far... part 6 and half of 7 before christmas and part 5 and the other half of part 7 this week... (i was reading FURUBA before <3 so i couldn't write hehe and i watched avatar.. there are no words to describe it ^.^... but 3D does not make a huge difference since you don't pay attention to it after a while... but still i luv i-max cinemas (we went to cinecitta in nürnberg *3* ) i'll write some more about it when i draw some fanart x3) ...ähm back to the topic xD lets see if it still fits together xD at least my writers block is gone now... thanks to maths... <3 it's so boring that it can cure any kind of writers or art block <3 <3 <3 uhm... remember part 4 ? -01 got shot and was about to die... (i have not forgotten about it.) haha and don't mind those names... i couldn't think of any. aaaaanyways enjoy :p (.... 5 ....) *** hmmmm what did happen before to be continued... (next part next week...or so)... if at least one person replies ^^ |
Aw, that is so sad! You've really caught the mood there brilliantly. Just all that's been taken from him, that he can never go back to... And smashing that moth suggests he's becoming more slig-like. How long till he forgets who he used to be?
Very good. |
Not a bad description of what he feels. Very dark feel too.
|
very nice work, and the moth getting smashed really does symbolise something very dark, very grim. i was a bit shocked when i read that part, as i wasn't expecting it.
|
thank you all! :D
this is one of the more bizarre and abstract things i wrote for this story... ^^; but see for yourselves and hopefully enjoy :p and constructive criticism is very welcome - always! 8D (.... 6 ....) …I started to dream – And the whole world seemed to become a dark abyss and all my life was nothing more than a fraction of a moth’s wing beat. All of the sudden I was not sure which of the things I remembered were real and which were not… “Are you ok?” I gasp. from now on it will be easier for me to rewirte the chapters (plot-wise [yay the actual plot can start now!!! ]) but i won#t have much time ; _ ; anyways hope it was ok (now when i upload every part in a week it is not so obvious i think ...but as a whole the story lacks a lot of things) the other fanfiction is better. it is not so dark and boring but with more suspense and more characters. and written in 3. person and past. (the book that inspired me for this was Kafka-Der Prozess (a very boring book we read at school, that i started to like at some point :p i look forward to the day when i start posting the 2. story here ^^) ok i wanted to say a lot more but i know how annoying long 'analyzing' comments after a chapter can be so i leave it all to you! ^^ -that makes the thing more interresting after all! sooooo what do you think? 8D |
Oooh, it's starting to get a little spooky :D I want to know who this little girl is and what she's doing in such a place!
|
It's his dream so we don#t know whether she exists or not and who she is... yet. :p thank you! :D
|
Very surreal... A bit confusing, but interesting to wonder how significant all that was. How much was dream-rubbish and how much actually meant something? Actually, I liked it for all that. Things don't have to be clear to be good! Daring use of confusion; good job :p
I look forward to reading more! |
