going to put up the next 3 chap soon, 5 then 6 then 7, a few days apart, but they wont have images for a little while longer. just composing the writing mainly for right now. Starts to get epic in chap 7 though haha.
adding Ruff Draft Chapters in. Question, would you all rather read ruff drafts, or just wait until i get them proofed and edited? Wanted to give you guys something to keep reading, but it will have SO many errors, as i type way to quickly, and can't spell anything. ;D
Woah... What is this? Why haven't I checked this out before?
Haha, I started writing this book a week or so ago. I am going to add some new chapters here relatively soon. As soon as my editors can complete the correction of my endless typos ha. But check back here every now and then, i'm going to add the rest of section 2 throughout this week.

Another question to the viewers, for anyone that happens to see this post.
My editors are saying i need to kill some main character by the end of this story. But if i were going to make any tragic sacrifice in the story, who would best suit the roll? Let me know what you think. More main characters do come into play later though. Such as the Aether Guardian, (the old lady from the Aether) the human-Enderman Hybrid (Starling) and the genius kid from the Nether (Who's name i don;t know yet) Give me any input you wish to offer.
Thanks!
I didn't read all of Chapters 5 and 6, but from what I did read the writing seemed pretty good and the screenshots were great. If they were used in a different way they might seem gimmicky but you but the way they are used in this story really adds to the overall effect.
Feel free to leave your comments. Or criticisms, I suppose, if they're constructive. Almost anything really, unless it's an outright threat. In that case I'd prefer you put it in a private message.

Much appreciated. I do like the screenshots. I wanted to use them because the books i write for my main story are all filled my illustrations. The screenshots are sort of my way of illustrating this story. Though i will need to add some of my own drawings later on rather then screenshots, simply to show what these characters look like in real life, as well as to depict images that are not possible in any version of Minecraft, moded or otherwise. Such as the massive "Magma Worm" in the Nether sections. There is really no way to take a screenshot of that lol, so will just draw that one i suppose. But as always, thanks for input! Please do keep reading... going to add chap 7 soon, can't wait for section 3 to start after chap 8. Very cool stuff in the Nether.
The suspense it building. What weel heppein naixt?
your grammar is so bad in that one sentence. anyway in other news, im just tearing away at the many possibilities that might happen in chapter 9, and in fact if someone is gonna die.

Awesome stuff! Read the entire thing, as it stands now, from start to finish in one sitting . When I saw this topic while browsing the forums, I thought it might be entertaining for a few minutes; so I decided to check it out. I had kind of thought that any Minecraft story would be terrible and pointless as the game doesn't really seem of the type to lend itself to a great storyline. I was incredibly surprised when I saw the topic content and realised that you had actually come up with an entire story, characters and all. When I started reading, I started off thinking that Herobrine was going to be the main sort of 'bad guy', but after reading further I'm not so sure any more.
Overall, I have to say you have created a great storyline with plenty of potential for twists and turns to keep the reader interested and keep them guessing. I love the concepts you have introduced such as with the nether portal; it makes things a lot more interesting without departing too far from the basics of Minecraft. And the mods have been seamlessly melded with the default Minecraft as to make it seem that they were always part of it.
The only negative things I can say really is that the writing style could be improved, but the same could be said of any writer as there is always room to improve. Also, as I was reading noticed several spelling errors and wrong word usages scattered throughout. Just when you're done writing the story, go through it several times and just refine it and edit it and you'll end up with something that is probably worth getting published .
Love the storyline so far and love how you have almost brought Minecraft into real life(as much as possible with it still being minecraft . Can't wait for the rest of it. Keep up the good work! 8/10 and
P.S. Come on people and vote in the poll. It's the easiest way for others to quickly gauge how good the novel is, and it also lets Darkscript know how he's going without having to read through all the posts .

Very much appreciate the review! As writers we like to hear what others have to say, to help us improve and make corrections. So thanks for taking the time to write a response.
I am pleased to hear that liked the story. The gist of this story does support concepts such as ‘Steve’, ‘Herobrine’, and other generic aspects of understood Minecraft. I wanted to write a diverse and creative storyline using these already tethered concepts as to ‘keep it real’ to Minecraft. The mods and other aspects of the story I added because well it makes it so much more intricate and lively I think. I really enjoy mods, so I decided to write them into their world as if they were a part of it, but still keeping the story based on Minecraft. Their world is somewhat a mix between reality and Minecraft, giving a much wider diversity of possibilities while remaining bound to Minecraft at heart.
I do appreciate your constructive criticisms as well. If you would like to, please let me know what about the ‘writing style’ you found unappealing. And spelling and grammatical errors… oh, don’t even get me started lol. I am rather dyslexic, so I make a huge amount of errors haha. My editor and I often miss them, but I suppose eventually we’ll manage to fix them all
Hope you enjoy reading my material.
Thanks.
