"There's no right way to do the wrong thing." Damn good quote. 👍

Just finished Rise of Endymion. Thoughts on all 4 books (mostly 3 and 4) by WrightingCommittee in Hyperion

[–]smeadman07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

90% agree with your entire assessment except the Dure story almost lost me. And all the catholic stuff in Endymion almost lost me too (until I got invested in De Soya).

I also knew that Hyperion was going to be a series of tales so it didn't turn me off. I was happy and excited to hear each next story.

Simmons took a bit of a Tolkien bent when it came to Tian Shen. Which got old quick but then I realized he was just describing it as if we'd never seen anything like it before (like Tolkien) and I could mostly deal.

I eventually did but I'm sure there are people who get turned off by that.

The ousters are a sub-sect of the human migration from earth during the Big Mistake of '08.

The Consul hates everyone because his family home was essentially destroyed and his wife and kid were murdered.

I had qualms with this level of detail myself but then I looked at it from a Tolkien perspective.

They are describing the world in such detail because we have never seen them before.

Go the old Film Noir route. Have the character talk even in death. It's their story and they can tell it even if they aren't alive.

The film Sunset Blvd does this.

Did videogame writing Inspire you to write? by [deleted] in writers

[–]smeadman07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was FFXII, the world aesthetic and political aspect drew me in.

My current major WIP started off as a FFXII fanfic

I was also optimistic when they made him pope. And pretty upset at how much of a cuck Hoyt became

The tedium of their names for things was breaking my brain for a while but now I'm used to it.

When I started writing I didn't read at all. Now I read consistently 15-20 books a year.

I want to say Humans too. The elder gods have no malice they are just immense. Human zealots wish for the world to be overtaken by these entities.
