Tips on Writing: The Fight Scene

[Valles]

---

So is there any advice on multiway fightscenes (besides don't?), ie a fight between 4 or so different parties.

The biggest thing to remember, I've found, is that people fight to win, not to be dramatic. This applies to all fight scenes, of course, but is particularly evident with groups. A pause to trade quips in the middle of a battle isn't a dramatic neccessity, it's an opportunity for one of your allies to step up and stab your foe in the back.
The only difference you'll see in a free-for-all is that your 'allies' are looking for a chance to stab your hero, too.
Ja, -n
