Book This! - General Discussion

[GCB]

What's up Book This! Lounge? For those who stay within the boundaries of this section, I'm The Dragon Saga and I've decided to dip my toes in the creative writing aspect of the forum. I've decided to start with a hypothetical story in-which Kurt Angle returns to the WWE. Instead of booking entire shows I'll be simply writing Kurt's parts of the show. I may suck at this, but time shall tell.

Welcome to BT mate. I like the look of what you've done so far and setting it in the future is an interesting ploy. There is enough in your first post to suggest you won't 'suck at this' but I'm just wondering why you posted it in the Lounge and not the main forum?

To GCB and IHW: Thanks for the votes.

To IHW: Thanks for the review

To GCB: Man, I read your SmackDown! and it seems you're truly pumped up for Mania. Each show is better than the previous one and I think by the time WM comes around, every show will be worth five stars. Good job mate and I'm seriously pumped up for the Rumble. Hope you post it soon.

Thanks man. Everything is building up nicely to a mind-blowing WrestleMania - I know the card and let me tell you I would love to see it for real. Hoping to post Rumble as soon as I can but the last PPV (Vengeance) took me 6 weeks to post and when I go back to work next week, that'll cause me some problems to writing the Rumble. Hoping for next couple of weeks but no promises I'm afraid.

So CM Punk vs. Taker at Mania 27 from GCB? I think so.

Punk vs. Taker and Cena vs. Orton yeah?

All will be revealed in due course. You might be right, you're probably wrong.

Hey guys, so I've been watching a lot of Marvel and DC Comics cartoons. What would you all think of a BT with villains and superheroes? Haha.

It could be cool, I don't see why you couldn't do it. You'd have to keep the movesets realistic, they can't all be high fliers! I'd pay to see Superman vs. Spiderman! And the Incredible Hulk would have to be in there - could be a monster heel or a face!

It would be. . . .Interesting. If it was done, you would have to have SuperCena.

Haha yeah man. I wanna try this, but we'll see. Just tryna get the section to be busy or more interesting than it already is, lol. Superman vs. Spiderman? Hmm, main event worthy. Hulk = Mark Henry of the superhero world.

Rosters and Updates are up! Go check 'em out if you haven't already.

I read the rules. Instead of putting down a fixed roster, I tell the story as it advances from my thread in the lounge, kind of creating "chapters". While in the actual main forum I do the detailed segments and build it all. It's a bit different, but something I wanted to give a go. By the end there will be an actual story to the entire thing and then the segments, matches etc, etc that created said story on Kurt's return.

I get ya. That's cool. Looks good.

I have never, and will never, be a fan of roster lists that say if a guy is heel, face or tweener. Why bother, use your storylines and writing to show us!

It's not like I will be writing it beside the name in the shows. And, i know not everyone will read my show fully, and putting (H)(F)(T) beside the name in the Lounge lets them know which they are. It actually helps me out too.

But if you have a guy come out and he is a heel, we'll know it. If people aren't reading your show properly, that's their problem - I doubt they'll look at your roster list in the lounge if thats the case anyway. I just think you could show us who is heel and who is face and who is tweener just from what happens. Just my opinion.

Dragon: I think a couple of people have tried doing 'single' stories, but yours looks really cool so far. I like the additions of new stars, new champions and such. I think someone tried to do one focused on Zack Ryder in ECW but it was really lame. I will pop you a review once you have a few chapters down and my current PPV is finished.

What's going on BT crew?

How about Batman vs Wolverine???

Or maybe The Joker vs Green Goblin??

 

[GCB]

Hey BT. Those involved in WZCW - what do you think of my first role play? Any good?

 

[#1Peep]

It was cool man, well done. Loved the conclusion.

 

[IHW]

I have been thinking hard about joining WZCW. But, I can't seem to get it all. How exactly does it work?

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Need info. IHW just PM me anytime bro.

 

[workhorse]

Monday Night RAW Preview is up, show should be up in the next 24 hours !

Thoroughly enjoyed it homie. I think your character could go places. In BT news I'm gonna shell out reviews in the next couple of days barring any time in my schedule.

Speaking of which I've contemplated adding another book this. Currently watching the 07 Rumble and I think booking that year would be fun. Likely starting after the Rumble. Wouldn't be anything huge, just something as a side project. Seems unlikely at this point as I have NXT added into my Raw programming and my hours are all over the place and losing nights has cut into my show writing time.

 

[#1Peep]

If I ever did another Book This it would probably be set in 2008, or I would try and do a Road to Wrestlemania.

Yeah I likely won't add this onto my workload as I want our BT to get my complete mind power and attention. I'll likely jot down some ideas and if ours would ever come to an end it would give me a new project.

Don't say stuff like that...

Haha, about to get on with this match as I haven't written much in a while.

Haha. It's a big if. Baring another catastrophic, I think we will be safe. We work rather well together I think. Speaking of which I finally finished my second NXT episode. I was just stuck and at a writer's lull but got that itch and finished. Pretty happy with the main event.

 

[#1Peep]

Yeah, the shows and PPVs gel nicely together. Send us your NXT and RAW if you like, I'll give them a look over and it keeps me motivated. I'm sick as a dog today, so I am trying as hard as I can to finish this match by tonight.

Dusty finish time.

 

[#1Peep]

Huh?

 

[Da Prophet]

Just end the match with a quick dusty finish.

NXT is in the mail. And have you seen any of the Raws following OTL? If not I'll send the two I have in the next couple of days.
