M. Edward Crosby Image Multiplayer: My Day of Defeat^[P] [• READ THIS TITLE •]
Genre(s): Fan Fiction: Video Games•Language: English

Appreciation - Fan Fiction: Video Games

Brief Synopsis
If you have ever played any multiplayer video game with immediate spawning after death, then you can relate to this story. This story is mainly dedicated to one of my all time favorite multiplayer games, Day of Defeat.

Author Notes
I was inspired by the story when I realized the horror it would be of resurrecting after dying in a video game, experiencing the same confusion and pain over and over.

Reviews

scrapsoflife : Not being a gamer, I didn't expect to 'get' or like this. But I did. I really like the way build the cadence of words. Short bursts of thought and feelings, sights and sounds. The only thing I might suggest is that in the first part where you use "filled with sensory overload" for both ears and nose you find a different phrase for one of the two. I was just getting into that rhythm of the story when I read the second use of the phrase and it stopped me because I thought I'd reread the line above. I had to stop and check to see where I was, confirm that I didn't read the same part over again, before I could continue. It broke the flow. Something with the same cadence and feeling would take care of that issue very quickly. This really would be fabulous as a monologue. (27-Mar-07)
