 Qathgwen 2008-01-09 . chapter 1I was ALMOST done, but for some reason it decided it must clear it and time out, or something.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has played through the MQ multiple times for story material. As pathetic as it sounds, maybe even for my own personal understanding too, because everything at the end is so... rushed. It's hard to get a grip on the feelings of the character at that point, and especially afterwards. Something told me before I had finished the MQ for the first time that "somebody's not going to make it, for sure, because games like this never have a completely happy ending," but I hadn't expected it to be Martin.
On that note, poor Patrick Stewart, having about 20 lines. Must've had to pay another installment on the new car or something. Actually, I think that if it were ever formed, he would be one of the co-presidents of the Council of The Most Awesome People On Earth.
That digression aside, I love this story. One-shots are hard, I think, because you have to capture all those thoughts and emotions in a short space, but I'm preaching to the choir here.
Keep up the good work! I think I might try writing a one-shot now. |
