How do write battle and action scenes?
Also it’s annoying when you’re trying to get advice to make sure what you’re doing makes sense...
But all a different person wants to talk about is their own work, and various character stuff.
As for equivalent of it time-wise: I’m looking at maybe fifteen minutes of talk-time, while she gets several hours... And it’s just: GAAAA! Help me instead of talking about the same point when we go back to my issues... Ugh.... Kat needs to finish this episode to start pot-luck, because the episode isn’t going to go away, until I do that...
I’ve also been freaking out about if I’m even writing my characters correctly??? Like, idk??? I’m having issues and need confirmation that I can’t have.

If this episode keeps taking five million years...
Kat is going to have her fun sooner, rather than later...
Kat’s Idea of fun is way different than your idea of fun... And it’s very not fun for the characters...

Kaaaaaaaaaaaat! O.O Aaaaaaah.
Also, I think your characters are great, so ... there's that. And if you wanted any help with fight scenes I'm always willing to try and help.
I believe in you! You can do it!

I thought it was good! It reminds me of cut-scenes in an actual TV show, so that pleased me. As for the content, I greatly love Dustwing, as usual.

I might just have to have a filler episode... Because none of you people can get to the point!
*Shakes characters for they control the story half the time.*

Apparently the dialogue is stiff, which makes me want to redo it...

Done editing and it’s back up.
It’s probably still awful even with the edits.

Well I'm getting there! LOl Just finished episode 9. Just a small nitpick with a paragraph that stuck out at me My old pet peeve with redundancy rears its ugly head! I highlighted the overuse of "appears to" or "seems to" and one area with some sentences that did not read right.
This one. *The second the venomous words fly out of the tom’s mouth, his form shifts, sores seem to grow all over his now, “normal,” looking body… His eyes appear to be swollen and it’s as if his flesh is rotting. The fur falls off revealing dark, raw, and blotchy flesh as if the sores had grown worse there. To make matters worse, said flesh appears to be falling off in some places, with the skin near his mouth, barely hanging on by strings of skin. The smell of decay seems to join the salt-water and unknown herb as the tom opens his mouth to bare his fangs. Fangs that appear to be black and rotted, the dark substance sloshes from his mouth and onto the floor below. Amberfluff and Ashfur III take a few steps back, appalled by this creature’s appearance, both feeling that it would be better to not fight it. Neither say anything, fears keep their mouths shut as this diseased creature moves towards them, anger flaring in his light brown eyes, he seems to have some sort of vendetta…*
Just a simple rework to get rid of the "seems to"" and appears to" bonanza :-) It's not a perfect rewrk but it gives you the idea. Now back to reading.

Ah, thank you Phantom! I try and avoid large descriptions like this most of the time, so the writing is bound to be clunky and a bit repetitive.
