An interesting discussion on writing fight scenes in Fire Emblem fanfics.
Although it degenerates into an argument about who's the better fantasy writer early on (which makes me LOL XD), there's some interesting tips in there; I also added in my two cents, although I don't know how useful my advice will be. ;P
I really do wish I could write more fight scenes; most of my writing is character driven, so I don't get the opportunity to do so (and it's hard to write an excuse for a one-on-one duel, which is what I prefer to write).
I think I can count on one hand the amount of fight scenes I've written (most of them short): a Linus vs. Raven duel which I still rather like; a gratuitous Matthew vs. Leila one; I guess that FE Western I put on hold had a few; and that Ranma one I did long ago (because skating martial arts also makes me LOL).
Anyways... I just need to write, in general. :/ I'm just not feeling inspired, lately...
