Title: Planet One
Description: The "One" And Only "Planet"
liger - September 23, 2005 04:33 AM (GMT)
This is a book 2 years in the making. It isn't some regular amateur book (no offense to anyone) but rather a thoroughly thought out story that, while trying to be modest, will move people to laughter, anger, and even tears.
http://www.fictionpress.com/read.php?storyid=2004795That is the link to the opening of Planet One. The first chapter is after the cover. Soon the second chapter will be up and I promise it to be a good one.
Don't want to give anything away but it is an Action/Adventure/Romance. Less to do with romance (except the first chapter and then later on), more to do with adventure as you will see in future chapters.
I've spent the past few years observing human actions and have applied that in order to pull some crazy twists. There is already a twist in the first chapter. If my opener is like that already, imagine the future of Planet One.

damn thats nice. how old are you again? let me be your editor or something :D haha nah jk, but i wouldnt mind. and put more romance in it :lol:
HIM357 - September 24, 2005 04:02 AM (GMT)
hey tom. i see you've joined AHQZ. :) i haven't read any yet sorry. hey ming, if you want to read more, go to ST and look in the writer's corner.
EDIT: woah. just finished reading it. i loved it! :D keep it up!
liger - September 28, 2005 05:08 AM (GMT)
thanks, and ming, don't worry, there will be more romance in it later. a story can't start out with some explosive romance that is finally revealed and then yanked away like that. that would just make for a good story. good thing i did that.
*warning* this book will be loooooooooooooonnnnnnnng. really long. there is plenty of time for romance. chapter 2 is avtually going to bring in another romance as well as introducing some new characters.
sorry, you can't find out what happened to Gaven and Jess until chapter 3 :P. one hint though. i love playing with people's emotions (as you could hopefully see) and that will play a major role in how the story turns out. nothing is as it seems (such a cliche phrase, but true). no one is who they seem to be. death may actually be better than life. actions shout without words.
enough cliche phrases. my book (trying really, really hard to be modest) is going to hopefully be wonderful. legendary, maybe. the reason is because i've worked at this for a long, long time. this isn't something i just jumped on and started. i've only recently started writing this version of PO. i have 2 older versions of it that i dropped and now i'm finally ready to move forward.
look ahead for future of Planet One.

PO NEWSLETTER!!!!
hey everyone, thanks to an idea from lachlan, i'm gonna start a PO newsletter to announce updates on my book. if you want to be added to my newsletter just post the email address you want the newsletter to be sent either here, email me at ligertigon@hotmail.com, or catch me on msn at the same email address.
i will still announce big things here but there will be benefits to being on the newsletter if you truly become a fan of Planet One.
HIM357 - October 3, 2005 03:54 AM (GMT)
yeah! go my idea! :P you know i'm in for it. you already know my email.

would you like my professional opinion or do you want to be happy ^_^. anyway i'll read more of it later....
liger - October 4, 2005 01:29 AM (GMT)
professional opinion, please. (you are a professional book reviewer? hehe.)
ShindoAkari - October 4, 2005 02:53 AM (GMT)
Better..... i study the subject ^_0. And from there a lot of research, practices, and a heck lot of anime, movie and book critiscm.
Anyway if i ever say anything that may hurt your feelings i'd like to say sorry in advance... and that i purely don't have any intentions of it (been through it, been hurt before so i'd know). but i really would like to help other writers. And in turn i hope you can help me as well when i start putting up my novel ^_^.
Anyway..... as a start your description strenght is impressive.... and your characters are very alive (Gaven so far.... because so far i've read it's all about Gaven and Jess)
But there's a few things missing like setting description. Time and place of the characters, it should be done quite early so that the readers can picture the characters and their backgrounds. Whenever you write remember the character's five senses, nose, eyes etc to create more realism.
I read that usually most writers fail because they couldn't get the readers to stick to the story (meaning to go on reading). One method is write the point of the story at the beginning, or a mystery or event that'd make the readers ask some question of "why did it happen like that?" so that they'd read on to see the answer. The other is to make the readers love your character so much that they'd want to read on and see what happens. (like Naruto...)
This one's a bonus, that these days the most important thing that'd make a reader start reading that first chapter is your voice. (Read harry potter, ignore Lord of the Rings. If you compare the both you'll see what i mean). This method is usually applied in female chic books (yes yes i've read them...) Uniqueness of the writer's voice/description style will give a temporary hold on readers. After that it's up to your plot.
^_^ After reading your first chapter suddenly i'm inspired to start writing my next novel..... i'll put it up soon so Yoroshiku ne..... give me some thoughts on what i may have missed in my writing.
Ja ne

thanks for the review there. i know i still have a ways to go. after all, this is my first book, heck, attempt at writing. i'm also happy i could get an unbiased view from someone i don't really know. no offense to all my friends that read it and said it was great, but i really need a lot more outside opinion. people that aren't afraid to say "this book sucks!" except give a reason.
i'll look out for your book. tell me when it comes out. i'll be sure to put it all out for you to see :P.
ShindoAkari - October 4, 2005 01:32 PM (GMT)
I so agree..... it's great and all that ur friends stick it up for you..... but sometimes you'd actually would like them to say it's bad if it is.... so that you could improve.
Newayz great first chapter... you even put up something so that readers would want to flip the page to see what on Earth happened. (FLip! FLip! Darn it!)
Newayz looking forward to chapter 2

hot bro real hot I'm loving it already has all the ingredients I like in a book. Nice work
liger - October 10, 2005 04:22 AM (GMT)
i will be releasing chapter 2 on October 19 because that is my birthday (or nirthday depending on who you ask) and i feel like giving more presents than i receive.
of course, anyone who has signed up for my newsletter would have known that yesterday. just some of the benefits from signing up. from now on, i will only reveal when i release another chapter. only those who get my newsletter will get things like previews for chapters, release dates, and secret information that you'll just have to find out. (btw, if you haven't noticed, i'm doing a big time plug of my new newsletter. since i can't plug Planet One in on a Planet One topic, i need to find something else to do :P.)

You got a newsletter 0_0 ? Or is that something we can do with fanfiction?
liger - October 11, 2005 03:47 AM (GMT)
just tell me the email address you want me to send it to and i'll add you to the list.

Dude i love it.. I swear if i was gay id so love you
liger - October 12, 2005 03:15 AM (GMT)
i love all the feedback i'm getting from everyone. i never expected anyone to ever actually like it. in truth, i write PO for me, no one else. and the other truth is that i'm never satisfied with how my writing has come out. but it is great to know that my hard work is appreciated.
i got the inspiration to write chapter 3 the other night so after chapter 2 is done, expect 3 not too far away.

Yokata ne Liger.
Now i'll know that you'll carry this project to the very end. Mah, guess this old man will stick around and continue to nag at you ^_0.

Dude I still love.it ... Chapter 2 please come soon!
Naruto-Uzamaki - October 18, 2005 04:20 PM (GMT)
Gah. this is really cool, i just cant wait till tomorrow for chapter 2, i wouldve aprreciated a bit more info on the setting of the story, as in place, time, and stuff like that. Also id like to sign up to the PO newsletter, im martinr3991@optonline.net . Just cant wait!
liger - October 19, 2005 03:20 AM (GMT)
sorry guys. chapter 2... has been delayed (NOOOOOO!!!!). it is all because of my stupid spanish class. we've had like three projects in the past week. i just finished the last one today and can finally crack down on my book. i will try to get it done by the weekend. if not, i will definately have it done after the weekend.
really, truly, honestly, painfully sorry.
Jarrid - October 19, 2005 12:11 PM (GMT)
Omfg you told me allready but NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HIM357 - October 20, 2005 05:01 AM (GMT)
wow liger. you're really building up a fanbase here. :) GO YOU!
liger - October 21, 2005 04:03 AM (GMT)
it's great, isn't it?
btw, everyone who is signed up for my newsletter by the time i eventually publish Planet One (because i will) gets a free copy and will most likely be included in the special thanks at the beginning of the book like all books have.
there is one thing, though. i really need you guys to review all my chapters on the actual fictionpress.com as well because the more reviews i have, the more popular my book becomes on the site, and the more people i can get to read. then they can review and make it even more popular so i can get even more people to read it. therefore, i'll have every possible person reading it and i'll have good reasons to press forward much faster. at the moment, i'm just writing for myself and the few fans i have. but with more fans, i'll be inspired more often, and sooner. sounds kinda like an RPG, huh?
anyway, once my writer's level hits 5, i can write compound sentences :P.
HIM357 - October 22, 2005 05:29 AM (GMT)
so what sort of review you want? something helpful? some of us aren't writers here see....
liger - October 23, 2005 03:55 AM (GMT)
no. just review. tell me what you thought. everyone here already has but it makes me look good if you all review officially on the site. it doesn't matter what kind of review you do: positive, helpful, negative, whatever. just review. and if you do small reviews for every chapter i release, it makes me look really, really good.
ShindoAkari - October 23, 2005 02:29 PM (GMT)
Okie! I won't go easy on you ^_^
liger - December 1, 2005 06:11 AM (GMT)
chapter 2 will be out soon. sorry about the really long delay but i've been busy. i'm back on track and should have 3 up not long after 2. and once i get an idea for chapter 4, that will be up too.
i hope i haven't lost the few loyal fans i had. i need all i can get. thanks for your patience though.
