  1. Ahhhh! It’s been seven years since I had to write a conclusion to a chaptered story. WTF I have no idea what to do with this conclusion lol. Now I’m all excited and proud and nervous and frustrated all at once, so I’m just gonna scream again, kay? AHHHH! :party::flash:

      You, DP, I totally take for granted. No, I’m kidding. You don’t fascinate me, sorry, but I am often impressed and amused by you.

      Y’all scare me. Also the brothers have pointed out they modernised from brethren and so I withdraw my objection to talking about the brother.

  2. Thinking of doing a penname change. Just feel like it’s time to evolve from the old CloverReef. I mean… I’ve been CloverReef for… about a decade I guess. It probably seems weird to some people, who are perfectly content identifying with one pen name their whole lives, but for me, as I grow and shift, how I identify tends to grow and shift too. 

    I do have a pen name in mind. But I’m debating whether I should wait until I finish posting my current chaptered story or not.

      @CloverReef  If you think I’m horrible, you should read my stories to confirm it! :)

      @Desiderius Price I tend to avoid the hells out of scat and WS when I don’t have to read it for the weekly sweeps. I’d almost rather read about sounding, which remains to date the only thing to actually have made me cry a little while sweeping. (I was very new, in my defense.)

      @BronxWench I tend to say “scat” in the forums for the “eww” response.  In my writings, the tag will be a general CYA because I’ll mention characters taking a dump when it’s relevant to the story.  I can’t really fathom the “play” part of it, and I don’t want to.

  3. Hmm… Y’all think a character turning into a zombie counts as character-death tag worthy?

      I totally am writing my halloween story! Ideally it will lead to a second too… I’ve got ideas for a second at least… kinda. But you know how it is. Just one short scene left to write then it’ll be edit/beta party time!

      Get the first one done first, then work on the second.  (I’ve done two before, for the Holiday 2015 one).

  5. Got super inspired for a scene on Blackbird this morning while listening to Megan Mullally sing “Guilty”. Grabbed my laptop, opened up chappie seventeen, then the inspiration just friggin floated away. Where the frig did it go?! So if y’all see this bitch floating around somewhere, tell em to come home to mama. I got a pair of shackles with its flaky bitchass name on em. 

    For the record, I don’t know why I’m talking like that either.

      Seconded on the foundation thing, my sunglasses do that too :cry:

      @pippychick

      You use the daily contacts? Those are a lot more expensive than the monthly ones I use. It isn't hard to clean them, so I just do that. The fact that I flip so much between glasses and contacts helps in not having to clean them every day, though I do have to clean the lenses throughout the day when wearing my glasses because of all the little dust mites floating around inside if I'm home all day.

      @CloverReef

      Tinted moisturizer might work depending on the brand and such. I never bothered trying that myself, though. I sometimes don't even bother with make-up when wearing my contacts. If it's a particular occasion, I'll definitely put on at least some foundation and mascara, otherwise it's just depends on whether I feel like it or not.

      @KassX

      I'm afraid of wearing sunglasses with my contacts for that reason when I do put on make-up! I haven't worn actual sunglasses in so long because of that.

    4. KassX

      KassX

      @Arian-Sinclair I live in LA, so not wearing sunglasses is not really an option lol. Hey, maybe that’s why everyone here walks around with shades on indoors and at night! :D

  12. Going to a respiratory specialist tomorrow. Hopefully get an appointment for the biopsy. (I apparently got 15 little balls in my lungs) but I’m still holding out hope that I’m gonna go in there and they’re gonna be like “guuurl we got you. We found out what aaaails you, queeen!! With our big city doctor sorcery! Eat these magic beans, a stalk will shoot out of your ass, and you be cuuuured bitch!” Kuz that’s how doctors talk.

Just said my goodbyes to three specialists because they’ve figured out whatever I have is not in their wheelhouses… They’re still not sure exactly what it is, but they’re pretty sure it’s in infectious disease territory now, so yay! Less trips to the big city hopefully! And by next week I should actually be receiving some treatment. Which will be nice. Been going downhill since March, and nobody wanted to treat me before they knew what they were dealing with.

      @InvidiaRed there are so many options when it comes to Elves and Dwarves and all that jazz. I am a big fan of a couple different takes on elves, though I prefer the dragon age and elder scrolls universes versions to the tolkien. And it’s always exciting to craft your own version, write your own rules. 

      I’m pumped to give it another shot. Soon as I get the right spark of inspiration.

    3. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      exactly.

      just try not to underplay that long life only affords them the chance for a great deal more mistakes. Nothing like doing something especially foolish four hundred years ago comes back to haunt you. Elven grace and elven angst go hand in hand.

      Add clans or houses and you can expect to be brought to heel by the founder of said house or family. hahaha. Nothing like being slapped by your great-great-great-great-great grandmother in front of everyone during a family reunion. :p

      There are some real incel weirdos on reddit, but I have seen worse on twitter tbh. At least reddit’s moderation is generally ok, and means that subs like TwoXChromosomes are inclusive! 

      For BW’s confused reaction – the broken arms thing relates to This ancient Ask Me Anything and how on reddit in every other thread someone will find a way to reference it.

  21. I want to write. Soooo bad. But I’m in one of those funks where I feel like everything I touch is pointless, even if I know it’s going well. The frustration of it has become a irate buzzing at the tips of my nerves. My skin is crawling, my spine and shoulders feel primed to crack. My typing fingers itch and the words in my head yearn to alleviate them, but every little distraction echoes through my head loud and painful like a gunshot. 

    I just want to scream or break shit or cry, but I can’t do those, so emoting all over my profile was the next best thing. I know what’s causing this, but knowledge apparently isn’t a cure. Damnit.

      Funny, I kind of do the same thing...  I'll start writing...   Sometimes two, three, half the novel, then I get a scene that I have to write...  And it's much later...  So I stop writing where I am to advance off to the later chapter/scene.  On occasion, I've done what you said, written a scene without writing anything else, because it's detailed, then I work it around…

      And yeah, sometimes, it would be easier to write it backwards...  But then, wouldn't there still have to be a first line?  Whether it's a last line?

    3. mastershakeme

      mastershakeme

      I’d suggest you totally blow the first line and move on… (haha that sounds silly :P) you can always come back and play with it. you might get ideas about what you really want to do with the first line later. Don’t beat yourself up, just get into the meat of the story!

    4. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Sometimes I’ve found myself writing backwards too.  Of course, those scenes far off will typically be more plot critical (gives me an idea of how it’ll play down), though there’s still frequently a sexual scene, toying with my characters, leaving me to figure out where I’ll put it (because the scene will be good).  I’m sure I’d keep a shrink occupied for their entire career if they ever cared to really analyze it in me.
