Yo.

I pretty much just started this to practise for my storyline coursework for college, and given you're all such *cough* fine *cough* individuals I decided to post it here for feedback. Now, before you rant ''WHERES THE GODDAMN DIALOGUE? WHY'S IT SO CHOPPY?" Etc. It's only meant to be a few pages and not contain dialogue, the dialogue has do be done like a full on script (Sucks B| ). So, here I go with what I think should've happened after Megaman Battle Network 6. Instead of the ******** ''AND THEY ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER'' Bull****.


Megaman Battle Network 7 - Omega
Written by Aeri Tyaelaria

The year is 20xx, the world is in harmony with the sudden expansion of the net. Everyone is now connected to what's happening in the world, people go onto the net by PErsonal Terminals, or PETs. These PETs contain NetNavis, a program with it's own personality and thoughts, made to perform tasks for humans and be able to go onto the net to gain things quickly. With the recent invention of 'Copy bots' these NetNavis are now able to walk among us, helping mankind futher and excelling it into a new age of technology and wonder. With NetNavis people can 'NetBattle', linking up to test their strength or 'delete' each others Navis.
In some ways Navis are just like humans and just like humans...There are good and bad ones....


'RRRR! RRRR! RRRR!'
"LAN!! YOU CAN'T NAP NOW!! THIS IS CYBER ACADEMY!! GET UP BEFORE THE TEACHER SPOTS YOU!" said the PET on the desk at the back of the class, buzzing to wake it's slumbering owner. The bandana clad head slowly rose from the pillow which was it's arms, rubbing it's eyes and looking down at the PET, the face of his NetNavi glaring at him as it began to nag at him. Lan ruffled his brown hair, retorting he was merely 'resting his eyes', causing the NetNavi to grumble darkly and continue listening to the teacher, who was apperently none the wiser. Lan sighed, before looking around the class. There were fewer girls than usual, only a couple to the many boys who populated the class. The boy sat next to him was talking to his NetNavi, trying to work out what the teacher was talking about, the rest of the class had their eyes fixed on the board, which showed diagrams of 'Virus Busting'. Lan blinked lazily, he'd virus busted since grade 1, why did he need another lesson? Even if viruses recently had become stronger and harder to beat. As Lan leant his head down to go back to his nap the teacher called for attention, causing him to jump upright.

The teacher pointed at the board, explaining the basics of Virus busting to the class, before asking them to 'Jack in', the class picked up their PETs and connected them to their desks, making the NetNavi's within them go into the netbased area which was the classroom. Lan lazily picked up his PET, giving a word of encouragement to his blue NetNavi which he called 'Megaman', before plugging the cable into the appropriate port on the desk, giving his signiture catchphrase as he did.

After a few seconds the Blue Netnavi was on the net area of the Classroom, surronded by standard green and purple NetNavis, the cheaper models. Two NetNavi's however were not standard, they were customised just like Megaman, one was carrying a pair of bombs and had a bomb for a body, two legs and arms and the head poked out a little, the other was orange in colour and seemed to be made of lava or magma, whatever he was made of it caused the NetNavis around him to move away due to the heat.

As the NetNavis looked at each other a final NetNavi jacked in, an orange navi with a visor which had an antenne, these navis usually were officials. The Navi called for attention before explaining what was about to happen, patting the box beside him he told the other navis that there was a virus inside and he wished for a volunteer to show the class how to delete a virus. Some of the Navis kept quiet, it seemed the only people willing to volunteer were the customised navis.

After a few moments the teacher's NetNavi pointed to Megaman, asking for the class to give him room to battle, as they stepped back Megaman walked to be infront of the box with some distance, getting himself ready to battle he spoke to Lan, asking him to get his 'battle chips' ready. After the quick download the Teacher opened the box, a small set of viruses popping out. They were like little black blobs with two yellow feet, a yellow mining hat covering their bodies and weilding a pickaxe. These were a common and weak virus called a 'Mettaur' after only a few moments of being released it charged at Megaman and the battle began.

Comments?
 
imo, its too much detailed and you need to slow down abit with them 'elegant words.. other than that, its good
 
Ofc Detail = Creativity, it's showing you have a solid idea. And why post if you didn't read it? = =
plus I'm 18, I use ''fancy'' words.
because using 20 "fancy" adjectives to describe a brown dog is really creative and necessary to a story.

unless it's an intro paragraph to a book about a dog, or a main character (like toto or something important to the plot) it's hardly necessary.

and any idiot can use a thesaurus. just sayin, bro.

fancy does not equal better, more mature, anything. it's just fancy.

my rule of thumb: if it isn't necessary, it should probably be on it's way out the door.
if you're taking 15 minutes to describe a pink rug that has no significance, you're wasting your reader's time. and that's never a good feel.

but then again, i don't use fancy words to try to compensate for my writing abilities, so i can't really say it's my style.

posting in order to give you my opinion/criticism. if you're serious about writing, you need to have lots of criticism in order to learn your style, and to hone it. this is my input. there will be others who say things, as well.
 
I just have one question. How can you use fancy words, but you can't spell "practice" right?

I still don't get these ''fancy'' words everyones talking about. Probably because I RP with adults so I pick it all up.

Fact is I already sent it to my tutor and he said it was good
 
I think what everyone is trying to say is, don't get so descriptive that you take away from the main point.

BAHAHAHA
& i assumed from the second poster, since i didn't actually read the thing.
i generally lump together any word that i would need to fetch a thesaurus to know of, a "fancy" word, but that's just me.
it's all good if you wanna use a hipster version of "pretty", but if it gets the same job done, what's the point in using words that will alienate your audience, other than to have a false sense of superiority?

well
first off, LOL @ having a tutor, but if you really wanna further your writing career or what have you, awesome.
second off, you may already have thought of this, maybe not, but there is always a chance of them padding their response to you. if they have given you criticism before but are now retracting it/not telling you about the same amount of problems in your work, you're probably improving. 100% positive from someone you're paying doesn't sit well, with me.

but hey. writing's great. hope you keep going with it.

COLLEGE = TUTORS TEACH U
and I never used a theasarus. Why is it when someone has a vocabulary larger than most you assume their diving for the dicitionary to look good? These are all words I use in reality and to write/describe with.

= 3=
 
I don't really like it. Don't know why, just didn't.

then college would have been a useful adjective, bro.
because that's an easy way to increase your vocabulary without much effort
 
There's quite a bit of mangled grammar, in terms of commas, as well as it's versus its. There are also a few scattered sentence fragments.
 
Seems ok, try and practise without referring to a video game? different storys lead to success in finding one you can count on:D

I only have a few weeks to hand it in. Doing it this way is alot easier.

I've changed it alot, adding more character details
 
What the hell are people saying about too many fancy words? The fanciest word I read was harmony..
