Meta: How to Kill Them Off (aka, on writing action that doesn't bore the audience)

[trovia]

A long time ago in my days in the German Harry Potter fandom, I was asked to write meta on how I write action sequences. It took me a very long time to come up with something, because it's such a complex topic, but eventually I did it. It doesn't quite translate, but I've tried to summarize the most important points for you. Forgive me if anything

Do it! Do it! I'll beta it, too. :D

You're very welcome. :)

As someone who avoids writing action like the plague, this is a really informative post! Thanks.

Cool! I'm glad. Thanks. :)

LOL, your icon.

Thanks for posting this! Lots of useful tips. I especially liked the sections on adrenaline and pacing. This is good stuff! I don't try the action scenes too often, but will keep this in mind.

Yay, thank you! I'm surprised that you don't write a lot of action sequences - you seem to be writing so much hard plot! Though I still haven't gotten around to reading all of your stuff. :( I'm glad it was helpful, anyway.
