Welcome to Gaia! ::

I make ample use of my SN nature. I write quite a deal of poetry, and a fair amount of other things (generally term papers ;_; ...), and read/review other people's work as well. I do random typing jobs on campus for professors and students, which comes in handy money-wise, and volunteer-wise, I'm an editor-in-staff for Steel Toe this year. O_O; (I still can't believe that one....)

In all of these, knowing how to spell and having a good vocabulary is very helpful. Makes for less spell-check-wastes-of-time.

New topics are the yum. And a good new topic this is. Focus.

I'm just a forum whore. Whatever strikes the mood.

Beer!

*thwacks Satah with the Grammar Hammer*...fream...I believe you meant something along the lines of dream.

Eh, yes, I write quite a bit.

I've written things in the past that I thought were good at that time, though I consider them horrible now that I reread them...It used to be all-fanfiction-writing for me, but I've slowly grown out of writing fanfiction...I'm currently working on a series with my friend, though.

I never knew that writing would be so complicated...I mean, I thought, at first, that we would just write it, look it over, fix a few things, and see what other people think of it. But now that we've begun...We wrote part three before parts one and two (my friend will be writing two while I, apparently, write one), and I've been rewriting part three in a notebook because the original sounded...*shudders*...bad. Really bad. Only, just recently, it's been decided that part one needs to be written first, since a lot that has to do with three works with one...And I'm also going to have to rewrite the rewrite of part three, or at least the beginning of what I have, since it's been noticed that one part just wouldn't work out...

Oh! If anyone here has read the new Harry Potter book yet, have they noticed the error on page 38?

There's another error...? If there is, I didn't see it...(And no, I don't think that "fug" is a British term. I'm fairly certain that they meant to write "fog".) (How long did it take you to read it, if you've finished it?)

Yes, we're co-writing the series, but we're not alternating chapters. That wouldn't work at all, since I'd have to say we have slightly different writing styles. What we did was split up the characters - she made some and I made some, and we each played the characters we made. We work through IM, kind of like role-playing...So being possessive wouldn't matter at all. 3nodding

As for the genre...Well...I have no idea, really. sweatdrop I'm going to have to assume some sort of fantasy, since there's demons, magic, dragons...That sort of thing...But there's twists and stuff all over the place (or at least, that's how I feel about it); it could also be considered slighty "action", but I'm going to have to say fantasy, I suppose.

Been working on it since November '03. ^ ^ Or at least, that was the third part. We did that one together, RP-style, as we're doing part four. She's writing part two entirely by herself, and I'm going to have to do part one by myself, since it's the background of my characters, but she's promised to help me out (since everything I try to write on my own either ends up sounding bad or doesn't actually get finished...).

One sitting? That's the way to go! I didn't get up for 6 whole hours, until my dad made me get up since we had to go out, and I was nearly done by that time...

We had/have the main plotline planned for each part of the series, for the most part, as well as many of the mini-plots that are incorporated. Anything that we need to decide on, my friend's the one that usually seems to come up with what'll happen, and when she tells me I add my own bits and pieces into it. So, I guess it'd be a bit of both. Things come up on whims at times, and if we both like it, we try to incorporate it.

When it comes to the rewrite, that's basically all mine to play around with. Since the original, for the most part, makes me wince at how bad it is whenever I look through the pages for bits to use, I'm pretty much rewriting it completely. When I come to something that I don't know how to work through (I tend to think ahead as well), I talk it over with my friend, either in person or through IMs. We then tend to have long, deep conversations about what'll happen, how it will happen...All the basic questions.

There are only a few times that we end up arguing about what'll happen next, and that's pretty much only when it's something major that'll affect the storyline, like what we discussed last. My friend managed to get her point across, and now I'm going to have to put the rewrite aside (even though I was just able to continue it since we had just figured out what the main villain would look like) for a year or so and work on the first bit...*shakes head*.

I used to be an rp devout. It was just a small Freewebs kind of forum thing. It was about ten really active players, including myself. There was no huge, overall plot, just spontaneous random rp's. They never really went anywhere. If anything, the rp's were kind of a character development and we just got better at writing. But all the sites died. Some of them turned into zombies for a while. Repeatedly. And we're currently trying to bring the most recent one back to life, although it's not the same tight-knit group as it was before. Just me and one other girl from England.

There's nothing wrong with being left-handed. Nothing at all. *nods* I write with my left (though am technically ambidextrous). And math is a fun subject (first on my list, followed by English, depending on the teacher).

Though, I can understand the 'artistic' bit.
