I'd like to join this group and receive criticism on some of my writings. A sample can be found below [quote] [i]Moa wakes to find himself in the back of a speeding police carrier APC Warthog and the sound of gunfire and riots outside. A wave of pain shot up both his arms as he tried to move. With a chill down his spine, he realize he was cuffed and being transported by MS Security Forces.[/i] "You're awake. Best not to make any sudden moves or its done here and now." [i]Moa's face hit the window of the warthog as an MS Security guard pistol whipped him. Moa coughed up blood on his tattered pants. Suddenly a sound of gunfire erupted nearby, Moa looked out the window and saw MS and Waypoint militia firing on users. There was a trail of dead users and blood outside a building behind the gunmens. All of this started with one complaint. One that would normally result in a swift execution by the MS Security Force, but a complaint from someone well known spread ripples. The users felt that someone of high status, Moa, criticizing Halo meant a strong unified movement to revive the old Halo. But now he is captured and users criticizing are being gunned down in the streets.[/i] "Driver, take a right up here. There's a situation ahead we need to avoid." [i]For a second, he saw several users wielding stolen MSF weapons firing at Waypoint militia. The users were winning, but it was sort live as an MSF Warthog hurried to them. Then the view vanished as the APC finished turning and gunned down an alley. There was nothing Moa could say or do as he thought of the fact that those users are dead by the hands of a Warthog gunner. [/i] "We're here. Get the prisoner." [i]Several minutes after seeing the users, the APC reached the destination. It was one the public area of Waypoint known as the Halo 4 Forum. The APC had parked in the rear entrance of a theater were users normally make threads to discuss related topics. But this was no ordinary theater, it was the thread that contained his criticism on Halo 4. The APC door next to him opened and a guard threw him on the ground, leaving Moa in pain and shock. The guard who whipped him walked to Moa and kicked his face, putting Moa in more agonizing pain. Both security men grabbed Moa by the arms and dragged him through a dark hall. He could hear a voice echoing throughout the theater. [/i] "This rebellion is nothing but a troll's attempt for attention! Many have stand up by his side and payed the price. Let be known that ANYONE who criticizes the great and holy Microsoft, our nurturing mother 343i, and our holy grail Halo 4! Will be silenced with ease and forgotten!" [i]There was a scattered mix of applause but no one said anything against the speaker's word. Moa knew then that the place was swarming with militia and MSF, and anyone showing signs of rebellion would be shot in the crowds as an example. He and the guards approached two doors, which opened to reveal the theater. The place was filled with the population of the Halo 4 forum and the stage contained the speaker, a moderator with a steel T shaped pole.[/i] "Like the scum that followed him, Moa shall be executed for the crime of criticizing our great Halo! And his body shall be fed to the Jackals and Brutes, where anything remaining shall be left to rot. For a TRAITOR does not deserve the privilege of burial, respect, and to be remembered."' [i]The guards uncuffed him then tied his wrists to the top part of the pole, resembling that of the stories of ancient Rome executions. The moderator walked up to him with an M60D pistol in his hand. Slowly the pistol was raised at Moa's head. [/i] "May the almighty Microsoft have mercy on your soul" [i]A shot rang out, and Moa's head became an explosion of blood and brains. His body slumped, being held only by the tied wrist. The guards cut him down and carried him out the same manner as they came in, leaving a trail of blood. [/i][/quote]There's more and I have different ideas but I feel like the main forums are not very interested in reading and I have yet to find an active writing group.
