Dragon Age: Origins

Tue Nov 3, 2009, 12:04 AM
"Thousands of years ago, elves ruled the surface of Thedas, but today they live in mankind's shadow, whether as an oppressed underclass confined to urban slums or, in the case of the Dalish tribes, forced to wander the ancient forests forever."

"Elven Warriors and rogues may alternatively choose a proud but trying life among the Mahariel clan of the Dalish elves, preferring to wander the ancient forests in perceptual isolation over letting humankind corrupt the last true elven culture. But a chance encounter with a relic of your people's past threatens to change those plans."

Why does this sound so familiar.
Fleydara. Altterdor. Elvish Exiles for the New Human Imperial Empire.
Great. Someone has come up with the same ideas I did.

I'm going to curl up in a ball and kiss the Dancer from the East Legacy goodbye.

Why did someone have to come up with similar ideas. BEFORE I finished the first book?

I feel so unoriginal now.

Lots of plots are similar to each other these days, simply for the pure quantity of them. Nothing is ever one hundred per cent original anymore, it's what you make of it, and how you write it. Don't feel bad about this, keep at it.:)

Thanks, that made me feel better (: after playing through it a little I've found that my plot still sounds original so it's fine. Also I've decided to make Dancer From the East (Uh I mean Mercy Giver!) a darker feel to it, possibly to bring across to readers in greater effect: What is humanity? Is it important? What is the value of a life?

Not sure how this will be accepted mainstream but I'll see, just trying to blow through the third draft and am making so-so progress of about 5k words every 1 or 2 weeks ><

I'll need to consult you for when I begin on the final draft - your opinion is highly valued :) thanks again Sophie
