Topic: Here's the Plan

So, over the past two years while I've been busy working on my story, I've been hunting around Fictionpress looking for good Arthurian Stories, because I really do enjoy reading them. And ohmygosh, there's so much good stuff out there, but it's all like, begining snippets or a few chapters and then the story dies off. I can only think of two things for why this might be happening. 1. Lack of readers/reviewers causing the Author to lose interest or 2. Writers block. The purpose of this community is to counter act both. After you read a story, leave a review, even if it is only to say that you enjoyed what you read. It really boosts a persons interest in writing their story, I promise. Second is writers block, which is the purpose of this forum. If you're having trouble with your story, post it here. The staff will be more than willing to look at it and try and give you ideas and my hope is that other community members get invovled as well.

Now for rules, or rule as it is. I don't think I really need to be putting this up, but better safe than sorry.

1. Be Nice.

There, that's the one and only rule, but I think it carries a lot of weight and subrules, like don't say someone's idea is stupid, don't flame, remember Karma and all that sort of stuff. So, please enjoy the use of this forum and write, write, write!

Well, well, this is certainly convenient.

Before i start, i'll put up the link to my story, The Arthurian Chronicles...

http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2470573/1/The_Arthurian_Chronicles

In that story, the most recent chapter to be specific, one of the antagonists, Viktor, decided to attack Arthur, Bors, Tristan, Galahad, and Lancelot. Now, this antagonist outclasses them all in strength and endurance, having torn a soldier in half with his bare hands [gruesome, yes, but then when you are a sociopath that has golden gauntlets with claws sharp enough to rend with ease, you generally do that sort of thing] and also having been stabbed in the left side and showing no real signs of significant pain.

So, I've come to realize that there is no chance that they are going to outright **win** this fight. As such, i have a vauge idea as to what i want to do, but i would also like to hear the opinions of others, as it will help immensely...

Please...?

My first suggestion would be that they cleverly defeat Viktor by working together and are able to spring some sort of trap on this foe. You could do it in such a way that their abilities are a key factor, but a lot more is luck so, I think they're called the Order of the Beasts, isn't too threatened by Arthur and his knights and so they feel reasonably secure in their power when they send someone else to best the knights, and it also gives the knights a reason to work harder and become better.

Another option would be Excalibur. I don't know if you plan to do much with the sword in this, but legends usually make it pretty powerful and it might just be helpful.

Idea number three is that Merlin could show up and help, if you want to introduce the wizard, or even some other magical helper- there are more than enough of them in the legends.

That's all I've got for now, but if you want more ideas I'd be more than happy to brainstorm with you. You'll just have to give me more of an idea on where you want your story to go.

I second Story's ideas.

If you don't like those, then maybe the protagonists could make a trap... Like dig a hole and watch Viktor land in it. Kind of primitive, but you get the idea, right? Or maybe find out Viktor's weakness and play at that. Or find out something Viktor likes, lure him into a castle with it, cut him off, and take him out.
