abuseWow. That was a really cool tutorial (for lack of a better word.) Incredibly helpful and you covered just about everything. My fight scenes are generally horrible, so this is fantastic. Thanks.

abuseWell I could agree with that, but it kinda gets cliched whe nthe big bad guy starts winning too much. Actually that is the best way to finish things. I wish there was anoither way. I can't argue. Good work

abuseDice reccomended this to me 'cause I can't write action, and I must say the first chapter is nice 'n' helpful. Repitition is, indeed, a big problem, and you've given a nice little reportoire of synonyms that can easily make a scene flow a lot better. I will definitely be reading more of this, because I have an obligation and an order to. ^_^

abuseOla, Wyrdwolf! I, too, have written an essay on how to write action scenes. And our dear friend Max Krugman flamed me too, though I don't think he was as harsh. I just wanted to tell you Max is an evil flamer that desrerves trial in court and that many good stories/poems/essays have been assaulted by him. Ignore the devil.
Just something I'd like to say about your story, I'm glad that you divided it into chapters. Mine was one long page.

abuseThought I'd read through ALL of this before reviewing, as I didn't want to review each chapter seperately and then peeter off halfway because I was strapped for time.

Anyway, all I want to say is that this is an AWESOME tutorial (shouldn't it be in Essays of something? I dunno, just a thought...), and that I'll have to save it in my fave stories just so I can keep coming back to it when I'm writing my "Chinwan!" story...thanks for the great help.

So, you're part of AKA MI, too? Not that I am, it's just that I've been talking to Snake Eyes and Mitternacht for some time now...I've only just restarted writing for FP myself, and they've been a lot of help, let alone the fact that MI rocks!

Email me sometime, hm?

abuseThis is about Blood and Gore section of your story. Demonic Rebirth focused on the blood and gore, realizing what I done, I kinda think that I used obessive details of blooding gushing out of cut opened body parts. Even though, I can't help feel that I also did it in a way, which even if it was repitive, that it didn't kill the story.

Like I said, I do a lot of fight scenes. Either it be minor, major, crazy, hectic, or just over and beyond scenes that makes you go crazy. But just because I do these all the time, doesn't mean I know th dos and don'ts so this guide really made me think that -oh, so I was supposed to do this and that- anyways, it has truly helped me understand fight scenes better. I mastered at things that I do... but its difficult to explain what I do so I really appriecate on what you doing. Thank you

abuseThis isn't a real review because I want to review it after I read all the chapter so far. Wait. Forget it. Damn man, this "How To" help faq, is hella damn impressive and it inspires me to do my action scenes better.

The reason why I review this one first because I just created a one shot story called Demonic Rebirth the other day. About 10 or 12 paragraph in, my character gets into a tight situation where he got swarmed by dozen of enemies. I do a lot of swarm battles in my past stories and getting better every time, so if you do read the swarm battle in Demonic Rebirth, don't be surprised that it was almost well-done. I just want to get some pointers from you and see what I did good and/or bad, also, if I made it flow. Great "How To" entry, it makes me wonder how you would do in your original stories. Just makes me awe in anticipation.

I will also want to advertise this guide in the Demonic Rebirth, so if anybody wanted to do fight scenes then they could learn how to from one of the best, you.

abuseI like this. I'm fairly good at action scenes myself, though I'm basically just starting out. Its good to know someone came up with a specific list of whats right and wrong. Helps me understand what the heck people like about my fight scenes.
