    Lightbulb Making our own wuxia story.

    Hi all, I don't know if this has already been posted before or not. I was wondering if anyone is interested in creating our own wuxia novel on this bulletin board.

    We could come up with a basic story pilot, so that we have a foundation to base our story on. We'll come up with a list of characters and their characteristics. we each pick a character to role play as. and then everyone posts one paragraph or a few paragraphs each time. then the next person continues with the story by posting their part. We'll have a narrator that directs the story and posts the narrator's parts. This should be highly organized so as not to create any confusion.

    Well, i thought it would be an interesting idea since there are so many brilliant and creative minds on the internet all working together. What do you guys think?

    Interesting game! I also want to play with you. Why don't we create a story to fill a gap between ROCH and HSDS? There are so many unclear points. Or, do you want really new story?

    ok let's begin with a round of brainstorming for ideas for the story. i was thinking of creating a new story. A novel called "Swords of Romance" taking place around the Song Dynasty. It will be about an incredible swordsman who's went through the highest level of training at Wu Dang mountain who was sent on a mission in the muslim region of western China to retrieve a very important secret for the Wu Dang school. It's a mission with a lot of danger, mystery and adventure. Of course he'll meet some of the best martial artists under heaven and he'll have romance with some beautiful women. Also he will have a close martial brother traveling with him on the mission and He's also one of the best of the best swordmen in the martial world. However he has no desire for girls and only cares about the mission and his sword.

    i'll add more later.
    Anyone else have anything they want to write about? Let's hear more ideas.

    How about the gay swordsman? Serious, of course he has no desire for girls just like you said, cause he likes man even though he doesn't like to admit.

    Too much of a cookie-cutter plot.

    Nah, There are no gay people in wuxia novels. Even if there is. not of my interest, unless you really want to. then you can create a character for him and be him.
    He doesn't care for girls or guys basically because he's devoting all his energy to the mission and martial arts.


    ok, to continue with the story.
    basically, this main character has reached a high level and was beginning to become complacent but his master who's been training him hard tells him that even though he's reached a high level, it's not the highest and in order to learn the highest. He must retrieve a secret martial arts manual from an old friend of his. But the master's friend is getting really old and doesn't teach anymore. When he got to the master's friends town he meets a beautiful girl and they start to become close. Later when he went to retrieve the secret martial arts manual he finds out that it has been stolen and only later did he find out that the person who took it is the girl he's deeply in love with. He's tries to convince her to give it to him but she said she has to take it back to her own master because her master told her that it belonged to him in the first place. So now he's confused and he's trying to not let his martial brother find out who really took the secret manual because he knows things will not be easy then. So he has to choose between love or brotherhood.

    immakiku,
    Yea i know it's a very typical and cookie cutter pilot but i think that's what wuxia is about. If the pilot is not about this sort then it wouldn't be wuxia novels. I don't understand how you can be a wuxia fan and think it's too typical. Because the pilot the essence of wuxia stories.

    It's like a porn movie. If someone complains "oh man, they're getting naked again, why do they always get naked?" In porn videos, people will get naked and do their thing. If people don't get naked, then it's not really a "porn". So if you want to watch porn then you have to put up with people being naked and doing the nasty. Not comparing wuxia to porn but just giving an example...

    I agree it gets boring and repetitive sometimes but i think by understanding and accepting that fact then we can see the beauti of wuxia stories and not really get tired of it.


    Well, you have any other pilots you want to share?

    Why don't you try the Fanfiction forum. There are plenty of people in there writing their own wuxia novels. The link is here:

    http://www.spcnet.tv/forums/forumdis...?s=&forumid=15

    Could do with more writers and readers in that forum.

    My wuxia story is here. Though the prologue sounds a little boring and familiar the story is not.

    The Legend of Kilin is a wuxia round robin created by spcnet that you may be interested in continuing it:

    From a different perspective - I wouldn't mind seeing such a fill in story between ROCH and HSDS elaborate more on Kwok Po Lo.

    I think there's a lot of potential to draw his character out more as there's not much written about him. For me he would be someone who's dedicated to the 'Kwok' family. Someone who choses to stay behind and sacrafice his life to defend his parents and country.

    Prehaps in those final moments, Kwok Po Lo saved Kwok Seung's life and allowed her to leave Seung Yeung to look for Yeung Guo.

    BTW - Wudang was founded in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty.

    ohh...my vote goes to continuing the story between ROCH and HSDS.

    There are so many debates over this gap in the trilogy, this would be a great chance for everyone to settle something out.

    (..and I'll have more fanfics to read while master Noodle, master Meh and master Mollieon is on their break.. )

    I think you guys should just start with a basic story line with one or two characters then build on it. Maybe take the suggestion of the storyline between ROCH and HSDS. Fill in the gaps. Someone should just start with a character then everyone round robin it. I am interested in a story after HSDS and maybe what happens to ZWJ? Someone take charge and start.
