Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial So...I was pretty clear on just how much I loathe Worm in another thread a while back.  But it did prompt me to go through the author's notes at HPMOR, and I found this:http://www.sagaofsoul.com/story.htmlThis character is now...my...seventh...favourite thin

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial "Junko" would be pronounced more like "June Ko". It does sound a little odd, but it does seem to be a valid Japanese name (ending names with -ko is more common for females, too).Have not heard of Wedding Peach, but agreed that I'd probably ignore it goin

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial @cae_jones: Thanks!  I'll create a TTS dictionary entry for it.  I wonder if not having the name pronounced "junk oh" in future updates will effect how I feel about her? LOL.  I hope I'm not that suggestible.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial So I'm a little confused about how these work. According to wiki, they're a series of scripted videos. So does that mean that what you guys are reading is just the script, and there's videos that you can watch to go along with these web serials? That cou

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial What wiki?  The link just goes directly to the listing of story chapters.  They aren't transcripts or anything...I think you might be looking at something else?URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=156311#p156311 ___

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial Sorry for the confusion. I meant the definition of web serial according to wikipedia. It says that a web serial is a series of scripted videos. But I've heard some rather unappealing things about wikipedia as of late, so who knows.URL: http://forum.audio

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial It's entirely possible that the technical definition was established, then promptly ignored by the rest of the internet, and Wikipedia simply hasn't caught up.What you described sounds more like what I would call a Virtual Series (which I got from Monste

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial Written stories that update daily or weekly and are published online are called Web Serials, and have been since long, long before youtube was even a thing. I seem to remember works like _A Future We'd Like To See_, Greyhound Chronicles_, _Hydrogen Guy_,

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial Yeah, then it sounds to me like a poorly written article on wiki that either hasn't been caught yet, or is one of the supposed opinionated articles written by an editor or staff member that just get rewritten if someone tries to fix them. It does mension

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial The idea behind the Virtual Series I've come across wasn't just to use the screenplay format, but to take the limitations of television serials in mind. So, for example, length, costumes, special effects, sets, etc all need to be carefully weighed to fit

Re: Saga of Soul: an enjoyable web serial @cae_jones: That actually sounds more interesting than just randomly deciding to write your fiction as a screenplay.  Sometimes, restricted art can, in fact, be better art.  Look at all of the people who are way funnier on Twitter then they are in real l
