Writer's Workshop General Chat Thread

@Lady Lucifer; I think they're anonymous for us, most likely to prevent them being influenced by those who got nominated.

[Kelleo]

Yeah, Tophat is probably right. I just hope that the choices for judges were good and that none of them will be biased.

[ectoBiologist]

ah okay. yeah, same, i don't want them to be biased or anything xD. i have lgbt elements in my story so i don't want anybody to get the wrong idea and hate it just because the main character is bi-sexual :U.

[Jabberwocky]

I have a list of chapters for Bulbagarden!, and vague notes on what will happen in those chapters, but the meat of the plot generally builds itself up as I write.

I know my characters well enough that I don't really keep notes on them.

Yeah, and I don't want anyone to hate mine just because it's Zelda and they don't like Zelda or something. xP

[Red]

Oh, i know who the judges are, at least the ones that'll be judging for sure.

Im glad summer vacation's coming up here in the US. My schedule's really busy now so I can't wait. I'll have so much mroe time to write. I plan to finish Abdication and post the Requiem thing over the summer, than move on to other things. Requiem will be prewritten so there won't be a need to wait for updates and stuff, I can post chapters as soon as I open the thread, unlike Abdication where I have to actually write a chapter than post it.

[Lugion]

I write story notes on paper, because it's easier for me to refer to while writing. Generally, anyways.

[Kelleo]

I just got my debit card in the mail! I just activated it too, so I'm going to order some stuff on Amazon now. :D

I opened a bank account last week, so yeah.

[TheLlama]

Don,t go overboard, @Kelleo; ;P

[Kelleo]

Don,t go overboard, @Kelleo; ;P

lol of course not, I'm not THAT excited. XD

The stuff I ordered totaled up to less than $40 and still have a lot more money left than that. I'm just saving some of it to buy Roller Coaster Tycoon 3D for 3DS the next time I'm in Gamestop. It's coming out TOMORROW. <3

Anyway, I ordered this stuff from Amazon:

- Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff (it's the only Sims 2 expansion pack that I don't have right now)
- Keldeo figure (I wanted a plush, but a figure will do too! I freaking love Keldeo, as you might have guessed)
- Mario and Luigi slippers (these are so adorable! One slipper is Mario and the other is Luigi! <3 I love Luigi the most out of the two, but Mario is cool too and I can wear these with my Mario pajama pants, Mario Kart t-shirt, and Super Mario World hoodie!)

I'd also like to swing by Macy's sometime too. I saw a Luigi hoodie there over the holidays that I totally still want. Luigi merchandise is so not easy to find these days because he's like the most popular Mario character out there. The Luigi plush I have was the last one Toys R Us had, for example. I think I bought the last Luigi DS game case this one Gamestop had too.

This store at the mall had some cool Pony t-shirts too, including this awesome Rainbow Dash one that I've been dying to have.

You've also got the people who those characters are based on ready at hand for inspiration, you little cheater

Hmm, speaking of Bulbagarden!, do I get a cameo anywhere? :3

[unrepentantAuthor]

Oh my goodness. I was away a while, wasn't I?
Well, I'm free now. I had a conversation with one of the school staff members about how my stress levels were so high I couldn't work, and eventually the appropriate authorities were persuaded to let me off of school a week early, provided I continue to work in a less stressful domestic environment.
This hopefully means I'll have greater time online, to spend on the forum!
Not now though, I have to do revision. Fun! See you later, everyone.

Well, there is that, but I only do that occasionally nowadays.

I dunno. Probably not in season three, but in season four... who knows?

[Caitlin]

heh. the longest chapter in the devil's gift is chapter twenty where it's twenty-six pages :P.

Ha, this chapter is 37 pages in MS Word for me, but I might use a different font/font size, so yeah.

Stuff like this makes me begin to realise that the reason I don't get readers (or at least criticism) isn't because the stuff I write is too long, I'm just a terrible writer I guess.
