Awesome.

Well when you have one going, let us know and I'll be sure to add AFF.net as a friend

[I Am...]

I am thinking you are not very good at sexual harrassment either

I am also thinking this is a good thing

I am not proving that I am well built

-and-

I am amused by the fact that we have kept this conversation going

[I Am...]

I am a female.

I am also intrigued by this comment of yours

[Pet Peeves-What can't you stand]

As a writer I hate it when I am writing a story (trying to do my best) and people try to rush me. If you want a good story, you need to give me time. Especially considering that I have a real life to take care of.

HOWEVER, people who kill their stories bother me; it's disappointing to read through a good story simply to find out the author has given up

As well, you guys were mentioning not liking when Japanese is inserted into a story. What about formalities like: -sama, -kun, -chan, etc?

What the hell? O.o I have to admit the attention grabber in this list for me was "Her orgasm left her shaken like a wet kitten". Not sexy

I am feeling sympathetic at the moment.

I am glad that I am relatively well built

[A Shippo challenge]

Okay so, this is a pairing that I favoured the moment I watched the episode but I would like to see the following

Pairing : Shippo/Souten*

Universe : Canon

Genre : er... I'll give carte blanche on that one. All I ask is that it isn't Angsty... I mean a little angst is okay but I don't need a tearfest.

Rating : Adult+(+) your choice between the two

Warnings : The only thing I ask is please no CSI, M-preg, tort, major OCs (mary-sues and Gary-sues frighten me), or obscene violence (I can't remember any more)

Timeline : Shippo is 50 years old in the series and still a child... I would like him to be around InuYasha's age. Although I suppose that means that the rest of them would be dead except InuYasha

Form: er... form? I guess whatever you feel comfortable writing

Basic Plot : Basically years have gone by and in a sort of reminiscent mood, Shippo wanders the paths of their groups adventures. He comes to the place where he was to do battle with a member of the thunder tribe and finds a young demoness under attack. Saving her with his matured demon powers, he comes to find out that she is the last of her clan and that someone (okay time for an OC *SIGH*) is out to get her.

And so on and so forth. Obviously he does not realize at first that demoness is Souten, the young boyish girl from before because that is the fun part.

If you don't like the plot just come up with your own. ^^ But please if you decide you want to write this, let me know and post a link to your story when you start it. I will be sure to read and review for you.

*If you don't remember Souten, she is the Thunder Brothers younger sister and the sole survivor of her clan. When she believes Shippo to have killed her brothers, she issues him a challenge, captures him in a cage and then they end up having a drawing competition for hours.

*SIGH* I wanted to write this myself but I can't I need to finish one before I start another. Ah well, c'est la vie

Serene Lies

[Pet Peeves-What can't you stand]

My muses are NOT Pez sex dispensers. I'm sure I have covered this at least three times in my LJ. When any of my muses have been traumatized in a fic or Rp then there is pretty much no way in hell their having sex with some one willing for a long time.

Its a peeve of mine to see any rape or torture fir reduce a strong willed character into a pile of quivering, screaming, crying at every shadow pile of goo. I like a good dark rape fic but the act itself is not as important as the after math and way too many authors, especially young ones, focus far too much on the act itself. More often then not the character turns into the stereotypical emo.

Underused and overused plot hooks, nothing like reading the same over used crap over and over and over again. Things like jealousy, blackmail and lust are often underused or badly done while sappy romance is over done.

Okay so, what happens if there is no aftermath and the character just dies.

I wrote a fic where the main character is tortured and raped. However, I did not focus on the rape what so ever. In fact I overshadowed it with the torture and what led up to the capture of the victim. And like I said, there really is no aftermath...

Would that be considered an original thought or simply an annoyance to any who liked the main character? Just curious...

[What's Your Fav Pairing?]

hmm, I'd have to say Kag with either InuYasha, Sesshomaru, or Kouga (if it is written right) and maybe (and don't kill me) Bankotsu. Then I love Sango/Miroku...and... lets see Rin/Shippo, Shippo and Souten (thunderbrothers younger sister) uhm... Can't think of anymore at the moment...

I have to wonder though... Why are Sesshomaru and Kags soooo good together ^^.

Its a puzzle to me but one I thoroughly enjoy exploring again and again.

[Sigh.]

I can completely understand what you mean... IT's about as bad as Kagome's tendency towards Stockholm syndrome in Naraku/Kagome pairings. I am not saying all those stories are like that but I mean come on. You are not going to fall in love with someone who has killed people and royally fucked up your life; not to mention if she was raped, it simply does not make sense to me.

I know its fiction and fan-based, but lets try for some realism in these stories??? even if its ooc, you have to keep a character, well in character.

[Anyone here on Facebook?]

I don't know why but even though I added all of you I still feel facebook creeper-ish

[A Facebook Group]

Okay so, I usually cringe when I see these kind of offers anywhere but I think having a group on facebook would be really good for advertising AFF.net

I was going to start one myself but realize that I, a lowly virgin (I am reffering to forum status), who has only been a member for a little while, probably shouldn't take that kind of motivation/responsibility upon myself.

Just a suggestion though.

SereneLies

[Anyone here on Facebook?]

LOL, not too modest are you?

Hey, has AFF considered creating a group on facebook? I am sure that would be great advertising for this site

[just wondering...]

I like reviewing stories because I think that if something is well written, then its at least encouraging to that writer. The problem is, is that people read through these stories hoping (to be completely blunt) to get off at some sex scene or something like that. I am not saying that it is everyone, but it is some of the people. I said this on another thread, but at first I was a little disappointed at the lack of reviews but it's kind of something you have to get used to as a writer for these sites. All you have to do is keep writing, keep improving and have faith in your work.

To greenwizard:

Where pissy fangirls are concerned you have to brush it off.

You don't know these people and they don't know you so if they can't handle the constructive criticism then it's their problem not yours. Most of these people (the ones who decide to attack you anyways) have very little faith in their own writing and feed off good reviews; for them it is an ego stroke. Either that or they are way to conceited and think that you are an idiot because you think their story needs work.

[Is Anyone Here A Review Whore?]

I wouldn't know exactly if I'm a review whore but I do feel a little disappointed at the lack of reviewers. It doesn't take much time to simply put at the end of the chapter, that you enjoyed it. I love getting feedback about my writing.

I'll also admit that I do feel more motivated to write more when I get reviews too.

As for a "squee-ing fangirl" phobia, I have nothing against them. To be honest, it makes me giggle a little when I see those.

And flames, well, I don't know cause I haven't gotten any yet but personally I feel that anyone who feels the need to bash a story so bad that they make a writer feel terrible, shouldn't bother writing reviews at all and they should keep in mind the old saying "those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones"

However, I do believe there is a nice way to tell an author that there writing needs work and I also think that they should be made aware of this - but don't be mean about it... Anyways, I am done for now

^^ Ta ta for now

[Definately a winner]

A couple of weeks ago I began my desperate search for the perfect beta - one who enjoyed the fandom I was writing for and had previous experience in editing.

The jewel I discovered was alot more than I had expected. Not only did she enjoy InuYasha as I did, but she was also a fan of the pairing I used (Kagome and Sesshomaru if you are curious). On top of that, I was simply expecting a person who would read my story, edit and hand back, but I found that the beta who had agreed to edit my work was amiable and easy to talk to - we discussed the fandom of InuYasha but as well, managed to communicate on a friendly level.

So for my beta, Nikkular, I would like to give two thumbs up, a couple gold stars, and a huge 10/10.

Thanks so much for your help.

[Paradigm of Sacrifice]

Hi there,

I really hope it isn't...er... gauche to promote your own story but here goes:

Title: Serene Lies - Soon to be "Paradigm of Sacrifice"

Author: SereneLies

Rating: Adult + (no lemon yet though ;.; )

Summary: Caught in Naraku's twisted web of illusions and deceit, Kagome's only hope lies with the demon lord, Sesshomaru. However Sesshomaru's own resolve wavers when a crucial decision must be made; a choice between Kagome's life and his freedom

Feedback: Please? I always appreciate knowing if I am doing a good job or if there are problems with my story ^^. Constructive criticism is a-okay with me

Fandom: InuYasha

Pairing: Sesshomaru/Kagome

Thank you so much and I do hope you enjoy what I have posted.

XD this isn't all of them and these are only for the genatalia

[Vocabulary Turn- ONS]

I agree completely. I feel completely cheated when you get to a sex scene of a well built story and it's juvenile sounding.

However, I know for some people, describing sexually explicit scenes so that they are a turn on or "poetic" so to speak, can be difficult.

I wrote [okay tried very hard] one explicit scene when I was fifteen and I found it difficult then.....Then again, I had no experience with the subject aside from romance and erotica novels >.<
