I wrote 218 more words yesterday, only one of the topics I mentioned last time covered. That can be let slide though, as I had been up ~32 hours by then and needed to sleep. But I did get something of my rhythm and the feel of the tale back so hopefully not everything I am writing is trash. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
coniferous_you today showed me something she wrote which, in its difference, reminded me of things I had forgotten to include. The current section and perhaps a couple of thousand words previous will need to be rewritten to support that. Rewriting is necessary anyway so nothing is lost but hopefully gained.
What else? Continuing (sorta) from yesterday and speaking of worlds opened up for others to play with, Erfworld is one. It is being released under a Creative Commons licence and fans are invited to create their own content, possibly even their own stories, with some restrictions as described here.
At the moment Erfworld and Order of the Stick (I mention them both because they are hosted at the same site) are both going through... let's call it an exciting period. Battles going on (or starting), big changes happening in the story. Erfworld right now is reminding me of am Egan story for the sense of enclosure I feel when he writes set in a computer environment, although I do not believe that is what is actually going on in Erfworld. Rather, its game-nature is producing a sense of oppressive closeness in me, as if I could feel the substance of the world running through my fingers. I believe it is because in both cases there is a definite sense of something larger than the world of the story, something Outside. Erfworld, for a variety of reasons, continues to discomfit me. And it is quite well-written, as well as well-drawn.
