Grignr slipped his right hand to his thigh, concealing a small opaque object beneath the folds of the g-string wrapped about his waist. Brine wells swelled in Grignr's cold, jade squinting eyes, which grown accustomed to the gloom of the stygian pools of ebony engulfing him, were bedazzled and blinded by flickerering radiance cast forth by the second soldiers's resin torch. how do you even write this fucking ridiculously

    Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    When you're a stupid teenager who doesn't know any better? Because that's literally the case.
  • Glaives are better.

    To be fair, when I first started writing, it wasn't all that good. My pacing was awful, my characters two-dimensional, and my protagonists pretty much just avatars for the reader.

    That was when I was seven.

    And I still wrote better than this.

  • The author, admittedly, is going, "Okay, I sounded stupid, please stop bringing it up.

    Sounds like he has no idea how the internet works.
  • Actually, he's dead.
  • Glaives are better.

    Hold up.

    WE should write a sequel.

  • That would be kind of assholish after the guy told people to stop holding it against him.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    ^^ LET'S DO IT
  • Glaives are better.

    We could turn the Saga of Grignr into an example of IJBM Getting Shit Done.

    It's what Jim would have wanted.

  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    We must honor his memory by writing the perfect sequel.

    And by perfect I mean terrible.

    Oh god, I found his female counterpart.

    Amanda McKittrick Ros.

    Have you ever visited that portion of Erin's plot that offers its sympathetic soil for the minute survey and scrutinous examination of those in political power, whose decision has wisely been the means before now of converting the stern and prejudiced, and reaching the hand of slight aid to share its strength in augmenting its agricultural richness?
  • Glaives are better.
    She tried hard to keep herself a stranger to her poor old father's slight income by the use of the finest production of steel, whose blunt edge eyed the reely covering with marked greed, and offered its sharp dart to faultless fabrics of flaxen fineness.
  • @Chagen, Is this an unironic thread or Ironic one?
  • Glaives are better.

    Are we going to stay true to Jim's original vision?

    Because if we aren't, I have some ideas. Chiefly, a story about Grignr finding Jesus.
