What's up fellow FM addicts??
I'm currently running a Bristol City game where I'm in November 2015. I'm in my 2nd Premier League season after guiding them to 12th place in our debut EPL season. Hoping to avoid 2nd-season syndrome(i.e Reading) and things are going alright at the moment but I thought let me turn my game into a story.
I am hoping that people on this site will actually read it and was wondering what advice u would give me to make this story interesting. I don't want to spend my time on it if nobody reads it or gives feedback. I already have a few ideas but was wondering if anyone had any decent suggestiions.
Thanks, hopefully the story will be up very soon | | |  |  | | 06-07-08, 02:21 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Indispensable To FMF Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Sheffield Posts: 1,520 Thanks: 430 Thanked 308 Times in 292 Posts Nominated 6 Times in 2 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
you could do it as a newspaper but if your good at writing then it would be good to write it in story form with instalments, add pictures and twists and turns. not much else. hope this helps |
This is for you James, hope you like it  | | | | | 06-07-08, 02:23 PM | #3 (permalink) | | Decent Youngster Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Peterborough Posts: 1 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |

Not on here S-Waller.
Weezy, i'd read the story. Do it in 3rd person :D |

At the moment, I'm thinking that a 3rd person style which includes twists is the route i'm gonna take. I've never done a story before so I wouldn't expect too much out of it. If I can find my photoshop cd then i'll try incorporate as many pictures as possible.

Y2Stu v. to become tiny.
"I can't believe Billie tried to Y2Stu!"
adamjigey adj. overly fond of breasts.

 Big Thanks to Apthered for a top sig cheers mate remember November 11th we pray for all that lost there lives for us | | | | | 06-07-08, 05:48 PM | #9 (permalink) | | FMF Donator, V.I.P and Writer.

I'd defo read your story mate. I give all stories a chance to impress and 90% of them do. As for screen shots, you don't need photoshop to do that. Just press Alt and F9 to take the screen shot then upload it to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket or ImageShack® - Image Hosting After that, post the direct link in your thread.  |

try to make it a little different if you can but most importantly, enjoy writing it.
I'll keep an eye out for the first one mate - good luck |

thanks for the input people...the reason i wanted to use photoshop was to try have pictures of the players faces photoshopped onto real images, would've been helluva hard.
will hopefully have started posting my story either tonight or tomorrow | | | | | | | 06-07-08, 06:24 PM | #12 (permalink) | | Important First Team Player Join Date: Jun 2008 Posts: 843 Thanks: 173 Thanked 174 Times in 171 Posts Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |

sorry guys, but i don't think that I'm gonna make this story happen anymore. Living in South Africa has it's advantages and disadvantages. Advantages such as good weather and that the world cup will be here in 2010. The disadvantages are mainly crime: my laptop was stolen out of my girlfriends car today so i have lost my bristol city game forever. Anyway just thought i'd let u guys know... | | | | | | | 07-07-08, 09:13 PM | #15 (permalink) | | FMF's World Football Geek Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Cotswolds Posts: 1,402 Thanks: 508 Thanked 233 Times in 229 Posts Nominated 6 Times in 1 Post TOTW/F/M Award(s): 0 |
