User talk:Qyrst

Hey,thanks for reverting the nuissance vandalism.

Feel free to add stuff to The neverending wiki also,could always be more active.

Of course, a read through is always a good thing to start with,lets stuff add together better.

Hello again! Just a quick note, you may want to consider adding some stuff to your empty user page, so that your name on the Bobcat ratings box won't be in red. --YZHchat/2000+ edits

Just to let you know... that last change of yours didn't change anything... --YZHchat/2000+ edits

By the way, if you're not satisfied with the ending of The Bobcat, then by all means change it! --YZHchat/2000+ edits

Invitation to Neverending Wiki
When you feel like it (or when you finish The Lizard), you may want to check out on The Neverending Wiki. It's our constructed world project, and hopefully I can recruit you to help out with that. --YZHchat/2000+ edits 20:35, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

On the Length Policy
What's your opinion the length policy for the separation between novels/novellas/short/veryshort? --YZHchat/2000+ edits 17:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't have one. Qyrst 21:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Name
You should come up with a name for the sum of The Bobcat and The Lizard so that I can include it as such in Novellas. --YZHchat/2000+ edits 16:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Here are some possible titles: 'The Were-Animal Saga The Were-Virus The Himalayan Virus Secret of the Were-Beasts The Bite The Harpers and the... (Bobcat, Lizard, etc.; à la Harry Potter and Indiana Jones titles) The Darkest Possible Secret Dead, Yet Alive The Were-Beast Trilogy A Monster Story The Story With All The Good Parts Written by Qyrst (Just kidding!)

Wow!
According to Stories (the new listing I've made), it seems that The Bobcat is #15, and The Lizard is #8! Congratulations! --YZHchat/2000+ edits 19:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Please take a look at the sitenotice

so what project do we do next?
Just wondering. Yunzhong  Hou  5000+ edits 21:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

There's plenty. You can keep up the work on Mage Compilation, The Heir, The Tale of Bushis, as well as the active stories in the sidebar, or you could start the next story in the Were-Animal Saga, to name a few. I'm right now working on The Tale of Bushis, and if you are familiar with the Neverending Wiki, you could help with that. Nardek 23:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Great story! What does the title "Managerie" mean? Nardek 23:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)


 * "Menagerie" is, more or less, an old-fashioned term for "zoo." I wanted to keep with the naming conventions of the pervious installments, but I figured there wouldn't be one new creature appearing, but rather many - a "menagerie," if you will, of new were-creatures. Qyrst 00:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I changed the title to "The Pack", indicating a "pack of wolves", indicating that werewolves would have a prominent place in the story (but there will indeed be a menagerie of animals). Nardek 13:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * What's going on with the Bat dropping people onto the rooftop? I thought she was out for blood. Nardek 03:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * First of all, there is nothing about her dropping people on a rooftop. A "precipice" is "an overhanging or extremely steep mass of rock, such as a crag or the face of a cliff." Anyway, the idea was basically that she's collecting all the people she's slammed or discredited in her life as a reporter, because, in her were-form, she has a subconscious desire to "get" them. Qyrst 06:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * (Note it was stated in chapter one that she did a story on her mother's meth problem, which landed her mother in jail.)
 * Sounds good. Sorry I missed the word "precipice", and I know what it means, so I've changed my wording in the story a bit. I've added a little something: she's going to have a fight with the werewolf, which will be broken up by the arrival of the military. Both of them will be taken into custody. Nardek 21:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The story has now reached the point of the prologue. Do we end it here and start the next story later? Nardek 03:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we should continue it a little longer, probably just to ten chapters or so, but still end it at cliffhanger. I think it should end with Margaret, Brian and Audrey still in the hands of the Alliance, since it would give the villains something to do in the next installment. Qyrst 06:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've just reread the end of "The Pack" and I've changed my mind. I think we should end it there. Qyrst 15:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep, it looks good to me. Still, I think I'll add a few "words of suspense" at the end to give it a good cliffhanger. Nardek 18:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I ended it with the Wolf escaping. They're not sure where he is but the end suggests that he escaped into the sewers. Pretty good suspense, huh! Nardek 18:41, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Once you read the ending, you could tell me whether or not it has a satisfactory ending, and then it can be placed under the Were-Animal Saga as complete. Nardek 20:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Just out of curiosity, what do sewer workers do? Nardek 20:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Were-Animal Saga
Were-Animal Saga/4 is now underway. Here are a few of the monsters I'm hoping to feature:


 * The werewolf from the previous installment.


 * Perhaps another reptilian humanoid


 * Something new and interesting: a minotaur (a serum containing bull's blood injected into a man, rather than a bull biting him; that's getting somewhat old)


 * Smith Jansma will become a Werefly.


 * A were-spider that I've just added.
 * I'm going to be busy for a while, so I may not have a whole lot of time to work on it except for the weekends in the near future. Nardek 15:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've added a slightly religious element to Secret of the Were-Virus: the Harpers are Christian fundamentalists (the last word is not meant to be negative). It'll still go as is, though, with the exception that neither James or his family will be swearing as much as some of the other characters, or being excessively violent unless it's in self defense or in someone else's, etc. Just to let you know, as you may come across it later. Nardek 18:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, looking at User talk:Yunzhong Hou, I can see that this idea has already gone down. Though I don't think it would have worked out, I do have to say that it could have been an interesting way to make our heroes a bit different (since there aren't many monster stories where the protagonists are Christian fundamentalists) but in our case the Harpers had already been well established. It would have been quite jarring to suddenly throw in something like that and, of course, even without that there would still be the whole "alienating readers" issue. Maybe we should think of something that wouldn't alienate as many people as religion (which is basically everything except politics) to make our heroes different. Qyrst 08:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the idea's been dropped. About the locusts: great addition! However, I really don't know why a swarm of locusts would be hanging around Michigan in December (although this past December was unrealistically mild). There just isn't enough vegetation and the weather wouldn't be warm enough. Are we just jumping ahead to spring? It should stay at the same pace, unless there's a good reason why it should be moved ahead. I made a loose explanantion: the locusts were bred by an illegal company that's trying to sell the virus to a foreign (perhaps Russian) company which wants to use it in biochemical warfare. The locusts escaped the confinement and are swarming across the country, although since there isn't much vegetation there's going to be a big drop in the number, especially since some are being sucked into jet intakes and sawed up by the propeller of Eddie's plane. Nardek 16:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, what's going on with the compilation anyway? Nardek 21:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The compilation is just for those who want to read the whole thing without having to go from chapter to chapter. The other pages, where the content is, is where we should make our changes. Not only is it faster for our computers to have smaller stories being edited, but some browsers can't work with pages longer than 32 kb. It's also more organized now. Yunzhong  Hou  5000+ edits 22:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me, but can we keep it typed in Times New Roman? I think it's easier to read that way. Nardek 03:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Ending
I like the prologue, but I was kind of hoping for something more ambiguous. It's kind of impossible for all the were-creatures to be cured in that short a time span (or at all), so I think we should change it to have the majority cured, but there are still some lurking in the less populated areas and in the wilderness. Remember, this is a nation-wide epidemic. Personally, I'd rather have a zombie-style ending: where a lot of them are removed, but there are still many out there, lurking who-knows-where. And of course the virus isn't killed, the mutations are removed. Nardek 21:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, if you don't like the ending, feel free to change it (as I see you already have somewhat.) Qyrst 22:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
