User blog:Alex001/Length of Stories
Now, I have to discuss three things here, separated by number points.
1. Absence. I prefer not to post it using the Absence Template as I don't really consider this an "absence". For me, my summer vacation, or June Holidays, is going to end on Monday (or Sunday for you guys) so I am unable to logon to the wiki for the whole week except Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The accumulated amount of time would probably be around 10 hours; 3 on Friday night, 1 on Saturday morning, 4 on Saturday night, and 2 on Sunday. Therefore, you may not see me very often.
2. BoF. No, this is not discussing about my hatred of the BoF. In fact, I like the BoF now (as it only write stories). However, several doubts are still left in my head about the BoF. When the BoF controls a character, is whatever a character doing or thinking NOT from him, but from the BoF? Does the BoF create penguins or the Holy Wikia create them? Could penguins change without the BoF? Please answer these unmistakably mind-cluttering doubts.
3. STORIES. Yes, this is the main point I would like to talk about. I've noticed MOST of the stories in the wiki are usually like 8-12 year old storybooks: filled with many chapters. And that just plain sucks. Why? Most of them come out uncompleted due to writer's block. However, I recalled one story (which regards Mabel) from the wiki that only had several chapters and was very easy to write. That just gave me one question that may change, mostly improve, the wiki.
"Why not just write small, not-so-long stories that could be suited to everyone?"
That was the brilliant idea. We could write small-packed stories, that would still entertain the audience. I mean, if a story is long and its not completed, the reader would be left with a curious feeling, but after a while, he gets bored and lost interest in the story. Take Queen of Card-Jitsu as an example. Its simple, short but still interests me and many others. So, STOP MAKING BIG ONES AND START ON SMALL ONES. That. Would. Be. Great.
With that, I end off and Big Balls!
