  1. (sorry about the double post)To continue-The lawsuits were directed at speculative fiction based on her BOOKS, I do not recall anything about fiction based on the films.

    I appreciate the 'heads-up', but might I enquire as to why I was singled out? And I also note that you were rather remiss in not having warned the numerous authors in the Vampire Chronicles section in Books, which a

  3. Excuse me Crimsonembrace, but I notice that I'm the only person in this entire section whom you chose to send this particular little message(And yes, I m aware of the situation with Queen Anne, I in fact have read the articles about said lawsuits.)I do not in fact write 'specs' based on her books,only fics based on the movies.

  4. Hello, would have popped around to see your profile before , but I really don't spend a lot of time on the 'net these days. Just thought I'd say hi and that you're a splendid bloke :)

  5. Now whereever did you get that impression?
  6. I usually only write movie fics, for vampire movies mainly, but yeah there should be more movie fics.
  7. When I was working third shift I lived on energy drinks;Red bull, Rockstar, Full throttle (particularly Bad Mother) Bawls, Lightening bolt, CL one, Monster, Tab, you name it I drank it ( and still do, I'm hopelessly addicted!) At one point there were empty Monster cans all over the floor of my room.
  8. I think people should be judged as the person they are, not for something they did when they were young and/or foolish. Believe me, I did a lot of stupid shit when I was young. (surprisingly, people only seem to judge me because of my appearance and my religion, not because of anything I did in the past.)
  9. *Sigh* actually my 'Badfic', The vampire Alexxandra' is the result of a very naughty dream, watching 'Queen of the damned' and some killer writers block. My Badfic
  10. I would think only the child would be aware of his evil and he would be afraid to tell anyone at first and simply observes the villain for a time until something happens that makes him tell an (unbelieving, of course) adult.
  11. Actually the fact that your main character is a child may actually work to your advantage. Children seem to sense and notice things their elders do not. Having the child aware of and wary of your evil character when the adults around him are totally clueless and refuse to believe the child's assertions that there is "something bad" about your villain can make for some interesting situations.

  13. I have been seriously depressed since the age of ten, a cutter since the age of twelve, and was diagnosed as suffering from depression at 21. I still have the condition and have been playing musical meds for years now, going from doctor to doctor trying to find a winning combination that will actually do something other than give me shitty side effects. I have gotten support from few people, most have no clue what it's like and are quick to judge and tell me to just 'snap out of it', as if it's my choice to have the condition and feel like crap all the time. *sigh*
  14. Slut? No. Emotionally immature, yes. Buffy was probably the only character in the series who never really seemed to mature and grow as a person (though maybe that's what the creator intended.)
  15. I worked as a stocker at a local Target store for a while and there was this 20 year-old kid who was constantly having to be paged over the intercom because he was constantly MIA when he should have been working and when he was around he endeavored to do as little as humanly possible while simultaneously running his mouth without stop. The supervisor did nothing to him but bitched at us for the slightest thing. I got into trouble once when she asked me where he was and I replied "Somewhere with his thumb up his ass like usual." I experienced the same thing when I worked a seasonal job. This 19 year old boy kept disappearing for long periods during shift, left all the work to his partner when assigned to work with another crew member, and was constantly calling in sick. Later, after he pulled a no-call no-show and got sacked I found out from one of my co-workers that he was calling in so he could stay home and play x-box! WTF? and worst of all the management,in their infinite lack of wisdom, were going to keep his lazy arse on after the Hols, and let the older, conscientious workers go.
  16. I think the whole fanwanky situation is utter bullshit. I get so sick of character bashing and just general whinging by stupid little teenage fangirls/boys ( mostly the yaoi fanatics and self-inserter's) who don't know shit from shit and can't write the characters they worship worth a damn (usually they are WAY OOC as if they are writing them as Mary Sue's/Marty Stu's) and expect the whole world to share their 'ship obsessions as if were canonical, never mind what the original authors intended. It's one of the main reasons I avoid popular movie and anime fic like the proverbial plague.
  17. I think bad writing in general turns me off rather than any particular word. I usually finish the fics, though, (I must have a masochistic streak somewhere) no matter how Godsawful they are, just to learn from them.
  18. Actually, they don't card everyone, just those people who look under the age of 21. *sigh* Sadly I'm one of those people who have never looked their age. People see old photos of me in my early twenties and think I'm about 14. Even now people think I'm between 20 and 25. My Stepmom says I should be glad I look young, but it can be frustrating especially in situations like this one.
