Diary Preview And Questions Thread

[LlamaSquad]

<p>Thanks to all for the advice, you've made some great points. I'll probably stay with C-Verse diaries, but what really resonated was picking a concept that I enjoy. I can imagine that helping a lot.</p><p> </p><p>

Re drawing the reader in, my next post was going to be a teased Big Smack Scott world title push (that I would actually have done), so if that hadn't worked, I don't think any of my other ideas would have. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Is there any way to display pictures without registering with a 3rd-party site, e.g. Imgur?</p><p>

Once again, thank you.</p>

Best of luck with it, it can be really rewarding.</p><p> </p><p> I've used Photobucket and later Imgur for images, I'm not aware of a workaround but, equally, I'm not technologically savvy at all so don't take my word for it.</p>

Only a handful of diaries last long-term and I'm okay with that. I know what's involved and I know how hard it is to keep going.

What I mean by cheap bumps is when a writer will quote on just one or two comments or will issue a 24 hour warning in their prediction contest. This is often done just so that their diary remains on the first page. Oddly enough I could sort of understand doing that a few years ago when there were a lot more diaries but now if you do not post in a day your diary may still be on the front page.</p>

Don't do it just for the responses from others. Don't misunderstand me, one of the best parts of a dynasty is the engagement of others, especially when people are willing to discuss your booking and you get a sense that your characters have gotten 'over' so to speak. But, ultimately, create for the sake of creation. Anything else is a bonus.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> If you're having fun with the writing, it comes through for the reader. And that's a win-win every time.</p>

Possible Diary

 

Hey all. Been nice to be back and feeling creative again and while I am enjoying my romp as AAW I had another idea slowly brewing and I might look into making a diary. MEW is around, but probably more just a diary I randomly update when I am feeling goofy and if I do undertake this project it would be as frequently updated as AAW given shows would be longer and have much more content.

 

 

 

The Mad King

 

Canadian Golden Combat has had its ups and downs over the years. Under George DeColt it was always about his sons and them overcoming the odds of whatever monster George could find and build up. It was a formula that worked, but over the years was starting to grow tired. The fans wanted a hero to step up that wasn't a DeColt at times as well as villains that were not so easily vanquished. Many thought the changing of the guard would bring the changes fans wanted.

 

Instead the change of ownership saw a rift between brothers. Alex DeColt was put in charge and his voice of bringing in Phil Vibert in caused a rift that saw the eldest brother, Steve, leave in frustration and head to the top rivals of CGC. It was a rocky start, but with a mind like Phil Vibert coming in to book many thought it was a dawning of the new era. The Alex was getting older, but Jack was still in his prime and Ricky could be a big time player for years to come. Then there was a crop of talent such as the members of ELITE that included Shooter Sean Deeley along with other up and comers like Trent Shaffer.

 

The results were much different. Alex and Phil clashed and booking didn't really change. Young talent like Deeley and Shaffer left for greener pastures and a scandal saw Jack become a broken man when he found out his wife had been cheating on Nate Johnson. Even a stalwart like Eddie Chandler left and the company continued to struggle. Phil left and Alex was left in control entirely. What resulted was booking that continued to grow stale and more of the same. Alex grew distant and few could really talk to him.

 

All these years it has been painful to watch. I am not a DeColt by blood, but I consider Alex a brother. It has been a crazy career many say I didn't deserve and was often because of the fact me and Alex were so close. All I ever did was to try and make CGC as best as it could be, but I am one man. It hurts to see Ricky feel the pull of going elsewhere. It hurts to see Jack putting on the big smile to the crowds, but to see a defeated man when he is not in the public eye. Most of all it hurts to see what is happening to Alex. I must help my friend even if means taking on a job I was never wanting or perhaps even qualified.

 

 

I will not let my friend down. I will not see CGC fail. I am Dan DaLay and I am going to be way in over my head.

Hey all. Been nice to be back and feeling creative again and while I am enjoying my romp as AAW I had another idea slowly brewing and I might look into making a diary. MEW is around, but probably more just a diary I randomly update when I am feeling goofy and if I do undertake this project it would be as frequently updated as AAW given shows would be longer and have much more content.

I would definitely be interested in this. I've enjoyed what I've read of your other diaries and it would be a lot of fun to get in on the ground floor with one -- plus I have a soft spot for big Dan DeLay.

How do you add pictures on your post?

Alternating between 4 active diaries right now, but still feel the urge to do a DIW one and another with an all-female promotion. Please talk me out of it.

Don't do DIW. I keep trying to make something out of it and all I get is frustration. 4C instead!

<p>I'm kicking around the idea of doing a second diary so that I can bounce between my 05 Mid Atlantic diary and a new one. It would be set in the 77 CVerse mod and would have a narrative style much different to the 05 MAW one. </p><p> </p><p>

Would anyone have interest in a 77Cverse diary?</p>
