story's in changing first person all the way through.

the story revolves around a war that has just begun between two groups in a place called The Sanctuary. the war begins between the Water groups and the Fire groups. the Fire group (sorry, i dont have a good name for them yet!) stole a gem from the Water group called the Aquone, and now, the story starts with a Water guy running off with the Pyrone, which is the Fire group's stone. He is pursued by the Holders.

The story then flips down to Earth, where a boy finds the Aquone (the whole thing'll be explained in the story when it comes out) and suddenly finds he has been turned into a magic form of water. it'll evolve from there.

this is where you guys come in. i only have the Holders as a class right now, and i need a few other ideas. the Stones need a few different guardians.

Holders-the only beings rightfully allowed to touch the Gem of the group.

it would be great if you guys and girls could assist me here. ]]> Writing School sniperleader1337 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/writing-school/102643-class-ideas-for-story.html http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/writing-school/102621-so-i-have-this-idea-new-post.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:23:54 GMT I recently had this dream about Zelda that i thought would make a great fanfic but wasnt sure if there is really enough to elaborate on.

I recently had this dream about Zelda that i thought would make a great fanfic but wasnt sure if there is really enough to elaborate on.

So basically the king of hyrule had decided to rid the world of the triforce due to all the chaos it had caused with so many wars (Post WW). The King found the triforce and wished for it and all memories of the triforce to be forgotten forever. Shortly after this, the monarchy grew corrupt and the people of hyrule overthrew the king and placed there own government in place. zelda, the last in the bloodline, escaped. centuries go by and the legends of "heroes" become myth and are forgotten. hyrule goes through a state of slight industrialization, similar to that seen in the late 1800s but not to that extent.

anways at some point a group of fishermen hook onto this sword in the ocean and pull up the sacred blade of evils bane placed into a stone. they take is a shore and studies begin on it. people try to touch it but there hearts are not pure so they can not. at some point, a boy, takes the sword effortlessly from its resting place releasing the evil sealed inside and heres where the legend begins.

so yeh this was just a dream and is it worth writing about?
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks a lot if you do =D ]]> Writing School mclennon_27 http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/writing-school/102621-so-i-have-this-idea.html http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/writing-school/102593-zelda-fanfic-ideas-new-post.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:31:14 GMT I decided to improve my sucky writting skills with fanfics... so I had a nice idea hanging around for Zelda stuff, so here´s the general thing: Okay, so we have a new zelda title (which needs a name d*mnit) I mean this as if there were a new game (Im still getting the other details polished,... I decided to improve my sucky writting skills with fanfics... so I had a nice idea hanging around for Zelda stuff, so here´s the general thing:

Okay, so we have a new zelda title (which needs a name d*mnit) I mean this as if there were a new game (Im still getting the other details polished, like the stuff Link has to retrieve bla bla bla...) here Link is raised by a haggy old witch, she adopts him and he becomes her apprentice (he knows everything about his family, that is of course whithin the information limits of the old woman, and he doesn´t have that much magical ability), they live in a Hyrule where at least half of Hylians have been killed by humans in some political-oriented thing, though most of the remaining have fled into the forest or live in towns near the boarders. (why do I sniff MS...)

What else... oh yeah.. the magic: Link can turn into a wolf (with heavy limitations though, same applies to magic) and can cast the spells we saw on OOT, except Farore´s wind is a little different, he can also make illusions on his appearance for a very short time (like making his ears human to avoid getting killed)

Zelda will probably be human, and there is a pretty twist: Ganny is nobility, he asks for Zelda´s hand (this time he tries to take over Hyrule the smart way) and she seems pleased by it, Link is likely to want revenge on her and Ganny there is also the chance Ganny isn´t completely evil

Aryll is back too, but this time she is his older sister, she works in a manor

bleh, flame it if you must...

The Darcedi Conspiracy, Book 1: Awakening
The Darcedi Conspiracy is a planned trilogy about the future of Earth in which the whole world is ruled by a single government. Everything is peaceful until seven siblings, the Darcedis, assassinate the prime minister and take over the world. At the age of eleven, every child in the world undergoes a Commencement ceremony during which, unbeknownst to them, a machine puts them under mind control. They are forced, every day, to serve the Darcedis in some way, most commonly to work in the mysterious mines that the Darcedis opened. The following is what occurs in Awakening, the first book: Rick and Sam are ordinary boys who fall victim to a brainwashing machine during their Commencement. Five years later, on their way back home after a day at the mines, Rick and Sam are struck by lightning and are rushed to the hospital. Upon waking up from their near-death experience, they find themselves five years older, and everyone they meet acting very strange, almost robotic. They'd noticed this before, but had never really paid attention to it until now, now that all their friends act like they are just two other human beings, as if they are no different from any other people. Soon they find themselves discovered by the Darcedis to have been released from their control (by the lightning strike) and are held as "honorary guests" in the Darcedi Tower, the former government HQ. Soon they find out the truth about the Darcedis: they are rulers from an alternate universe who experimented on people in that universe trying to create the perfect super-human. Now they have come to this universe, on Earth, to mine enough energy to power a laser drill to mine their ultimate prize: the Genesis Diamond, which will grant the user the ability to morph the mind and body of any human into whatever he/she chooses. It is up to Rick and Sam to somehow stop this evil plot before it succeeds. And to stay alive in a world where no one is there to help them. Or even love them. ]]> Writing School EzloSpirit http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/writing-school/102346-just-some-ideas-updated-every-day.html http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/writing-school/102100-wandering-story-a-story-anyone-can-participate-in-new-post.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:50:56 GMT Everyone can participate in this story!

Here it starts:

The night fell over Nimorina Valley as 16 year old Alya went through the dark Forest of Sly on her way home. Her half-length raven hair was blowing hardly against her pointy ears as she was fighting against the storm, on her way out of the forest. Alya didn't know this night was going to be stormy. The cold wind was beating harshly against her forest green cloak and sometimes Alya felt like she was being dragged backwards by the storm. What will father say when I come home? , Alya worried. I am late and my clothes are full of leaves. I am sure father will be angry!!!. Alya was angry in herself. Why did she always have to break the rules and norms? Why did always have to do things her own way? Why did she always have to follow her heart?



"Where have you been girl?", a tall elven man shouted by the entrance door to his manor. His long pale blonde hair was blowing behind him and he looked both tired and pissed off at the same time. Alya hurried inside the huge, carved stone door and thought about what her father's reaction would be. She was about to walk straight across the candle-lit corridor and into the kitchen to get a glass of water, but her father stoppen her by the open door to the ball room. "GET IN! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU, GIRL!", her father shouted angrily. The ball room was Alya's least favourite room. She hated this room so deeply. Everytime there was a ball she tried to make up an excuse not to attend. Alya hated being introduced in every ball as the daughter of Vidar, the elven lord from Calycca, Nimorina Valley. She hated acting formally. She just wanted to be known as her true self. She did love her father but she often thought her father was way too strict and close minded. Why couldn't her father relax more and act more like himself? Why couldn't he act like the loving, fun dad he was when she was a chld?
The ball room was the biggest room in the manor. It was actually a very nice room full of exclusive paintings made by the greatest artists of the elven world. The huge room had four big windows with dark blue satin curtains. The reason why Alya didn't like this room was because of all the endless bad memories from balls being held. Alya often had to dance the Dance of the Valley or sing old elvish songs for all of the guests. One time she even had to dance with the bastard Migeto from Zaanak.
"Alya, sit down", her father said more quietly, but in an irritated tone. Alya sat down on a blue satin sofa which was matching the curtains of the same colour. Her father did not sit down. It was typical of Vidar to stand when he wanted to express his authority. With his broad shoulders and navy blue robe he looked exactly like the man he was: the strict, serious ruler of the small Calycca region. His glance and his long hair showed authority. So did his face, even if it was still young looking.
"Alya, what did you do in the forest?", her father asked sharply, his pitching blue eyes looking right into Alya's brown eyes.
"I.....I-i", Alya started nervously without ending her sentence. If only her father could calm down a bit......
"Have you been out practising your stupid archery again?", her father asked with crossed arms and a shouting glance. Alya took a deep breath before answering. "I like archery!", she said trying to defend herself. "YOU do archery! Why don't you owe me to do the same thing?".
Vidar looked a bit uneasy, like it was hard for him to answer. He finally opened his mouth and pointed a correcting finger at his daughter:"I am a man. Are you one?". Alya thought it was the most illogical answer ever but she could see what her father was thinking. Rich elven girls should not do archery. It was the task of their knight in shining armor. Alya really envied the normal girls who had done archery for generations now. Among them it was considered totally normal.
"I have seen many girls practising archery, haven't you Dad?", Alya asked trying to get her father come to his senses.
"I have only seen average, normal girls do it, and I don't want to be confused with poor people", Vidar said calmly.
"But Callisto the archery champion from town has got rich parents!", Alya complained. "Her parents own the sweets factory for Simis' sake".
"Yes, her parents own the sweets factory, but they are not the rulers of Calycca, are they? They don't have to show a certain style to the people, do they?", her father said desperately trying to get his daughter to get the point.
"I don't see any reason why I can't do archery", Alya said and stood up from the sofa, facing her father. "And what do you have against normal people, Dad? There are no poor people here in Nimorina Valley. You even helped with eradicating the poverty!".
"I have nothing against them. I am just trying to tell you that we are not anyone, Alya. We are from an ancient family. But you act like you are just another girl! You need to show some dignity!", her father said strictly, even though it looked like he felt for his daughter deep down.
"I don't want to be ridiculed!", her father said sounding very secure. "Go to bed now! And please wear some finer clothes tomorrow".

Alya went out of the room angrily without even saying goodnight to her father. She headed up to her bedroom. Why did she have to be rich? Why her?
