dmxratedFrom the characterization spreadsheet I was working on, one thing led me to work on something else and something else. Had a look at that game script, created some supplementary documents, and most importantly, I finally got around to creating a TV Tropes page for Starbound.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/Starbound
Told Jake about it last night, and he told me that I have just opened a can of worms by creating the page. This forum thread that he then showed me for the second time describes some writer-related issues with the site, but frankly, I find their arguments void, citing why as McKnight. At his request, I did blank the page out, but someone else has restored it and my editing privileges have been suspended for until someone reads a post I've left regarding what I've done.
I actually did try to create a page in All The Tropes, but while naming a new page is simple enough, there doesn't seem to be any way to distinguish a given work from another one of the same name. If I find out how to do that, I'll be sure to create a page there; otherwise, it can wait until I start making the game, which will be titled Day of the Beehive. (Not an excuse not to use that site instead; having thought things through after the convo, I would have restored the TVT page myself either way, and it could have been created just as easily by anyone else.)
-----
Right now, I'm just overwhelmed with all kinds of aspects to look at. Need a break from characterization, and having had a look at the game script only rekindles my interest in a project that I'm not gonna be making public for years to come. Well, always best to focus on one aspect at a time, rather than the whole thing, and right now, I might just be in the mood to create some sprites before getting Brian to program them to do certain things.
