Bits and pieces

[anthrodisiac]

OK.


The Kodiak, grizzly, and brown bear are the same animal, Ursus arctos. The Kodiak population is slightly divergent from the others, but all are the same species.

I personally belong to the minority who think the polar bear is a subspecies of the brown bear.

Nifty! Learned something new today, thanks

Though I fear you may have put a target on your back by insinuating that polar bears are just a big white brown bear subspecies and not their own distinct species.

If you hear loud snuffling and roars, shelter in place and toss out whatever chunks of meat/pets/loved ones you may have lying around. Do not run.

Do. Not. Run.

My buds the Kodiak bears are quite a bit larger and scarier than polar bears. I'll just stay away from the Arctic Ocean.

I guess you couldn't bear it.

Annie, are you okay? Or were you hit by... struck by... a smooth ursine?

I try very hard not to respond to all the anthro bait, but, you know, it's bait for a reason.

I also feel I've bumped up awareness and discussion of anthros by existing as a minor chaos goblin in AH, and I'm super happy about that

Or maybe it was there all along... I have no idea, I've only been here four months

Everyone else: Feels like longer

I take issue with the word 'minor' here. However, I do love fun chaos in the threads! But that word 'minor'.... Come on now, own it!

Nah, run. It'll be fine. Just make sure it's down hill

I was being modest, I know I'm a fucking menace

gods/ goddesses are not modest, especially of Chaos, can't be modest and create Chaos!

Wouldn't "smooth Kodiak" fit the song's meter better?

And yet...

A simple outline.

Some words under each section. maybe a paragraph or two. A little background and some narrative.


Then start to expand and fill in, tying sections together with some how and why.

This might take a while and may not ever see the light of submission.

Sure won't be a typical story though.

This is literally how I start

Are any of these replies talking about building a story as I was?

I think people didn't understand the thread.

So, polar bears happened.

 

[anthrodisiac]

So, polar bears happened.

I was surprised as anyone when I got the call that they'd breached containment on the original thread.

Sorry, @If_Only_, what exactly was your question? Maybe we can help get it back on track.

 

[HordHolm]

I wish we had 'Thread of the Year' competitions... this would get my vote. Thanks all for the lols.

 

[SimonDoom]

Writing exercise: start with bits and pieces, an outline, a few words, ideas. A few characters.

And then introduce the rabid, hungry polar bear that just escaped from the zoo.

Go.

Can you hear why it never made it to the screen?

Must ... restrain ... biology ... corrections.

Must ... restrain ... William ... Shatner ... impersonation ...

How the hell did you all take the minimalist of thread openings and turn it into three pages of posts about BEARS?

More properly protaryed with actions.

I debated saying anything here but... this is good but to improve on it you have to intersperse Shatner's weird pauses with moments where he rushes the dialogue out in one breath (imagine a sentence with no spaces). Also, repeat the same sentence two or three times, each phrased a little differently, to show where he insisted on lines being added so that he'd have the highest word count among the cast (he was a good actor long ago, I swear).

Shatner went on to do a good acting job on Boston Legal.

I've always liked Bill.

Welcome to the AH. The place to discuss the craft of writing...in one out of 10 threads.

 

[MillieDynamite]

First, in our defense, you didn't tell us anything about what you wanted. Second, we asked for clarification, mostly by our bewilderment, but still, you posted words without a direct or indirect question. What is it you wanted?
