    Ooo goodie a new story to dissect. I'll admit, I'm kinda new to Google Docs commenting system, but hey we're all beginners at something, right? I'll go right ahead a give it a quick read... on mobile!

    Okay so I did my best. The commenting system was a bit wonky to use especially with me doing it on mobile.

    At the end of the hunt and when all the wolves are settled I don't really think it matters whether the pack uses this thread, the campfire or the workshop as long as there is somewhere they can go to for help and where there are other pack members about to support and help them. An Awwwooo to you A-Pocky-Hah! for being one such member. Same goes for the rest of you who endlessly support our Blog Scratchers and Scribblers. (I know there's a few who watch over my tail when I post. (Ebonslayer for one. Always ready to point out my errors. Thanks pall)).

     

    What I wil howl about is this:-

    If a TSC member does use the Workshop then for the betterment of all wolfkind make sure you let the TSC members know. You can use this thread, the Campfire, Howl out in the TSC chat... Just make sure the other Pack Members know.

    If you want to follow Tenebrous's approach and use another method then you are more than welcome to add a link in this discussion.

    Yeah, mobile Docs kind of sucks. Web interface is much, much better. :) Anyhoo, thanks for the help!

    Guess who's back :P It's me, here with like my tenth attempt at getting a story passed Chapter Two. So this one is another weird one, but I think the approach I've taken with it is a bit better than my last story because I've kinda said 'Fuck It' and I'm more or less sticking with the events of Skyrim, or at least the more general events.

    Now as a bit of a disclaimer. The story is actually based on another piece of fanfiction (kinda) which was a crossover between two completely Non-TES related universes, and like a fucking madman I thought...okay so what if I moved the concepts to TES, threw in some stuff from Kingdoms of Amalur and a few other bits and pieces and just created a clusterfuck, 4+ way crossover that was all at least somewhat desinged to come across as natural.

    I'm reall drafting this one, and trying a different writing style that so far has flowed marvously for me. Would love to get feedback, more on the writing (with a particular focus on my complete inability to work dialogue into the story naturally) as a whole than the world, but I do want it to make a...certain amount of sense. There's some of it that I don't want the reader to know because the characters don't know it, but as long as the core concepts I explain at the beginning (which will be in the ToC) and the chapter itself make sense I'm down.

     

    Also...Draft 1 here, going to go at this seriously because I'm super inspired at the moment and I kind of want to make some headway into Chapters 2 and 3 before I post this. That means I'm going to go back and edit this as I write more and start off super well :D

    You'll have to give me some time too... About oh I'd say 3 months :/. Only kidding. I'll be reading the rescent blogs this week. Older posts will be a while though but I will get them all. Sotek Loyal Hound of Hircine

    So, it seems that posting a WiP story in the Workshop is still a bust.  It rather seems like this thread has 'vanished' from the Tamriel Vault's mind, but I do think it's a good resource. That being said, maybe some other thread could be made? I'm not a TSC Host, but I think it'd be cool to get some fresh ideas, which will also inspire more writers to keep at it, or start! I dunno, mostly looking for opinions here.
