  2. I was wondering if it was possible to make the text link clickable on a member's profile page, under the Information section. I see it under the person's name when they post on the forums and I think it would be useful on their profile page as well. Thanks for your hard work! yukihimedono

  4. Here's a list of spells I need. The Basics: Attack -Fire: "I call to you Lasesra, send me your flames so that I may put your enemies to shame!" (my one finished spell, thanks to Astraea!) Protection Armor Healing Charm There will be more added when I think of them.
  5. I'm in desperate need of help with writing spells for a fiction I'm working on. I have some, but I'm not sure if I even like them, so I'm hesitant to post them. If anyone is interested, please let me know! I left general information below. Title: Ruin Explorers Fandom: Ruin Explorers Rating: Adult+ I have two chapters posted but there is more that is available should it be needed.
  6. *gets on knees and bows* Thank you, Gods, for all the hard work and wisdom you have graced us with. *bows* Your diligence and contributions do not go unnoticed. *pulls out a knife and goes after the goat* Come back! *huff huff* No blood sacrifice today, but tomorrow definitely. LOL! Thanks!

    I sent you an email yesterday from my personal account.
  8. Chapter 2 is up. Link is below. Rating: Adult+. Feedback: Yes, please. URL: http://anime.adultfa...51620&chapter=2
  9. First, I don't plan on advertising this in anything I write or post here, especially in any chapters I put up (save this thread). In fact, I don't want the readers to even know that I'm doing something like this. Kind of like a blind test, the testers don't know they are participating. I only plan to do this twice a year, since I already have a heavy workload. Hence, only two people would get a short oneshot or drabble. And if I don't get any reviewers then this won't go farther than here. Part of this is to connect with my readers again but I also want to try other fandoms and whatnot.Does this sound plausible?
  10. Anyone else watching The Borgias or Game of Thrones?

      Yes it is. It's got a great storyline. My husband picked the book up.

      I've read the whole series, a few times :D

      Did you like it? I'm thinking about picking it up, but there are already so many books I haven't read. XD

  11. Exactly! Re-posting my question.... Just curious about what the collective thought is. I was considering offering the ones that reviewed a reward, like a oneshot or drabble. I've got a couple of ideas on how to pick the reviewer, but I'm wondering if anyone else thinks this is a good idea or if I should completely throw it out?
  12. Hi, I wanted to let anyone who is reading the story know that I will be using this thread for any updates (or extras) pertaining to Ruin Explorers. So here's an 'extra' from me. This is the map that I made and am using as a reference for my fic. I made a folder @ photobucket that I will be putting stuff in.
  13. LOL! Exactly. I think we've entered the Twilight Zone. *cue the music*
  14. Why does my muse hit me when I'm delirious from lack of sleep? I've been writing non-stop for over two hours, but I want to go to bed and snuggle with my husband.

      Rumour has it that's why Homer's wife was always insisting he spent his evenings writing.

    Can you PM me? I'll give you my email address. I love DAII and this is something I would write. I've been looking for ideas.
  16. Going to see Death of a Salesman @ TheatreWorks tonight. It's been a while since I've seen it.

      Great play... now onto Portal 2 and more procrastinating.

  17. I found the perfect example. I've been obsessed with Bones ff lately, so just ignore my picks. The highlighted ones just went on my to-read list, LOL! Brown Skirt and Leather Seat: 11,203 hits and ONLY 2 reviews. It got +10 but something is seriously wrong here. The Sight of Her: 6,598 hits and NO reviews with a +5. That's half of the first one. Human beings can be hard to understand sometimes. And, by the way, I don't pick fanfiction to read based on the works stats. I pick based on coupling and summary.
  18. It's nice to know that there are others who feel the same way I do. I'm much like DemonGoddess. When I have time to read something, I review it. My to-read bookmark list is so, so very long. trudy, One of the things that's keeps me going is that (most of the time) I don't have a set ending, just a vague idea of what I want - so I end up writing and finishing things just so I know how it ends. A good example of this is my Inu-fic, An Unexpected Love. I know that seems silly and as the author, I should know where the story will go and end but sometimes, it's just more fun that way. I find it exciting (does that make me a dork?) and I use a lot of silly things; word prompts, places, actions, colors, events, anything and everything I can think of. I have a lot of OC and original fiction. AUL started out as a short five-chapter, lemon-sex-filled story. I was frustrated with another story and just wanted to write something that was completely useless and made no sense what-so-ever. I wanted a break. Unfortunately for me, it became a ridiculous hit. I extended the storyline after talking to a couple of friends, but it's still going through a slow revision process. The problem is, my muse is fickle and flighty. It comes and goes when it wants. Thus, my several oneshots, which I don't post anymore due to AUL. Ironic? Enough ranting and complaining. What I want is to try to bring this to the attention of the readers. I'd like it to change, as I'm sure other writers would too. I don't mean to threaten them or put a long AN berating them but I was considering offering the ones that reviewed a reward, like a oneshot or drabble. I've got a couple of ideas on how to pick the reviewer, but I'm wondering if anyone else thinks this is a good idea or if I should completely throw it out? I'm not sure if it will increase reviewers but it might help me through word-of-mouth. What's sad is that the quote below is on the main page (multiple times) and it's like it doesn't phase people. Do they even read the news? "Please remember that this site is free to use. As such, the authors receive nothing for their efforts, except reviews. Do let them know that you read their stories, please! I'm sure they'll appreciate hearing from you!" - Apollo
  19. I'm addicted to Portal 2!

      I plan to play when I get home tonight. :D I was gonna write some but who cares when I have Portal 2. I need to finish it so my muse will come back.

  20. Posted a short drabble, Under the Night Sky (Sailor Moon). A different viewpoint of their first meeting. No sex in this one, sorry.

  21. Finally uploaded the first chapter of Ruin Explorers and the revised version of Indelible.

  22. Hi, I just posted the first chapter of my multi-chapter Ruin Explorers fiction. Please check it out if you have time. Title: Ruin Explorers Author: yukihime Summary: With Rugudorull defeated, Ihrie and Fam set out in search to break Ihrie's curse, leaving Lyle with Rasha and Miguel to pick up the pieces of the fallen kingdom. The duo meet a new friend and stumble onto something that will change Ihrie's life, bringing secrets and feelings forward that shake the group. Set after the OVA series. Rating: Adult+. Pairings: Ihrie/Lyle, Ihrie/OC, Fam/OC. Spoilers: End of the OVA series. Feedback: Yes, please. URL: http://anime.adultfa...hp?no=600051620 Thanks, yukihime None of the chapters have been beta-read. After it's finished, I will then re-post the proof-read chapters.
  23. Warning: THIS IS A RANT. My rant. Why is it that no one reviews stories anymore? Everytime I read something, I comment - even if it sounds super corny! I think it encourages the writers to work more knowing that there are people that are enjoying their work. And it's a great way to develop your writing skills. It encourages them to continue and get better! I sucked major (really) when I first started writing in 1998. (I think I'm revealing my age, >,<") It's been over ten years and I've gotten more comments and likes from those horribly written fics than I do now. Why is that!? Criticism can be bad or good but at least it's something, right? It's within in the perception of the receiver as to whether they take it with a grain of salt or blow it out of proportion. Even though I was starting out, the negative words didn't get to me. The encouraging responses from others were what I focused on. People were reading my work and liking it! It made me feel really happy that my ideas were something worthy of reading. Are people afraid to say anything now? What's wrong with 'I liked it' or 'good job' or 'interesting'? A word at least! I beg you readers, please do something! I'm sure that, for people like RosieB, Wheezambu or QuirkySlayer, reviews are what kept them writing through the years. I don't know anyone who hasn't heard of 'Beside You in Time', 'Possession' or 'By the River of Shadowed Moments'. These weren't written quickly but, at the same time, are some well-written and thought-out stories that have so many complexities. Sure you have to wait for chapters but I don't mind and several hundreds of others don't either. To be honest, I've written thousand of pages, several oneshots and tons of ideas, but most of my work isn't published. I don't post it because I don't see a point - to a certain extent. I do have friends that read what I write and urge me to continue but I write for myself, like every other fanfiction author, more than anything else. And like everyone else, real life gets in my way, but I believe that I would post more if I knew that there were people that enjoyed what I have to write and say. I feel like I'm in a stalemate. I only get feedback from a limited audience and would much rather prefer honest thoughts from others. I'm never going to met you. And even if I do, what are the chances with seven billion people on the planet? So please, take a minute or two and just say something. If you like an author, review their work - encourage them. If you don't like a work, at least find something nice to say to balance the negative comment. You don't have to be harsh, bad comments can be more helpful than good ones if they are worded correctly. And if you don't want to post it for others to read, then PM them. Just do something.
