MUST FINISH TO ANNOY BLOOD REAPER

You must copy and paste every post I have made and deliver money to my company for use of my name, and give praise to my glorious contributions to the codex.

I didn't know you had a sense of humour!
Don't worry, you'll get a spot. I saved one specially for you.

I want royalties. That's 100% of any profits made by the codex

If what you have told me is true about companies refusing to accept fan ideas (copyright, etc), I don't think this codex will make anything.

...
That was a joke Alie.

I know. I made a simple counter-statement.
Damn, I can alienate myself sometimes.

It didn't require one. regardless, I may or may not release my own interpretation of this.

Try them out for Fantasy, by all means. You could remove the psyker aspect completely in that case.

Never been a fan of fantasy.

Neither have I.

Fantasy is just as awsome.

I may turn it to fantasy when its done.

Beastmen? Good...send in the Vampire Counts.

I'm wondering whether I should also give my novel a mention as well...

If its based on this race, I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it.

A novel?

You haven't even got the race fully finished, yet your writing a novel? If it's based on the Lynx.....

Already started it.
But that aside, any book can be good, as long as the writer wants it to be. How many books have you read that have invented entirely new societies, races or even worlds, but not bothered to question the origins? I have read many like this. So it still has potential. And I began writing it a long time before this.

What makes a book good is it's content. Especially how it flows, how it provokes emotion, and most certainly it's tale. You never know: my novel could be much better than what you first think...

I've been writing since I was seven. So that's seven years on my clock.
But my only problem is:
I could never get past the first chapters. I don't know why, maybe I just left them and moved on.

The origin concept isn't good or even properly completed. It's going to collapse on itself until that is finished, books that have an entirely new race take years to be thought out and written. You haven't even got passed the first stage on the concept.

You'll see...

Writing it for a long time is good. Ralph Ellison took seven years to write Invisible Man, and while I didn't like it much, I can't deny it was good.

But he wasn't prepubescent when he started.

It doesn't matter which age you start at, as long as you have experience.

After experiencing the nature of your reaction to critisisim, you've proven you don't have that experience.

Novels are different. You get the criticism after you write it.

Ah I see. The Stephanie Meyer approach.

Alie: No.

I've already started it. Too late now.
But, I'll alter it as time goes on.

Don't you ever compare me to her again.

AKA the destined to be a poor story approach.
