I am the kind of ilk that requires sleep two hours ago.

I'm probably too full of advice for my own good, as you well know. The first piece I will give you is to be patient with yourself. Understanding comes often with a painful lesson. What do you know of bitterness unless you have been so disillusioned that the cup Jesus drank was one you realize is the very grail that holds the souls of the damned, that's how bitter it is? To love greatly after that experience is to love deeply and to understand what love is. To be hurt badly takes no courage, only stupidity. To stand up after a fall and hold up your head takes a strength that is beyond the comprehension of those who have not experienced hurt. To apologize when you realize you have done wrong takes real courage. There is where you meet true fear: within yourself, when you weigh within you the things you value and hold precious against the things that are only passing. Humiliation is only passing. Accepting the consequences of our actions after that, is easy, because you did the right thing. So, in relationships, and in characters that you build, there are certain things we are all guilty of, and there are certain things we are proud of. To dive into that ocean of human behaviour, we must first understand our own. do you understand what I'm trying to say? Maybe just watch One Piece. that says it all (not the dubbed version. The subbed)

I'm horny. Why?

My ass. Why?

Red's gone to read a bedtime story too. As we all should. After all Someone said "story" Echtrae?

fog every morning, and now clear and cold. probably frost on the lawn in the morning. Took all the plants out last weekend. I wonder if I forgot any?

You may forget the citrus entirely and use it exclusively for plot purposes if you so desire. After all, it has been done before. Is it really snowing where you are?

I am of the opinion that orgy thread was done by 14 yr olds, besides, we are of a different ilk than they.

What are you complaining about? You'll know all about it before we do! You're sleeping with the author! Is there going to be lots of sex?

I am posting The Competition (actually the only one I've found so far.) "I am" is proper English, however, the gist of this thread is more blasphemous than anything, since this is, well, I can't say it. I'll go to h-e-double hockey sticks

MOD: Found this in an old thread while cleaning up, thought I'd put it here. Melody Fate's AFF Page Oh, Aserenity, you've got to read this! Very intelligent piece of work. I recommend this to anyone who likes smutty bits, but not crass

er, did you just read the same post as I did? I don't get your response. Reika's statement reveals that although she personally has high standards, her characters do not, and she wondered why that is so. did I read that wrong? (Goes to read some of Reika's stories)

omg, red, you were a whatcha callit, a JW! omg! I'm going to keel over or something! I think the pledge should remain as it is, even though I really don't count or even care particularly. I guess that in the long run things come and go, so I wouldn't be surprised if its ousted, however, my reasons are sentimental only. There's something about hearing a group of people reciting it that send shivers up the spine.

ng. I'm very sneaky. g/ng: exposing yourself to someone on the street/bus/public place

I am back from checking out another "orgy" thread to see if we are actually doing it right. I am liking our orgy thread better.

Egypt, the Congo(just talking about that today) Nigeria, South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria, the Canaries...Morroco? nah, those are islands...(and Where, pray tell, is Timbuktu?) ^ has drawn out of me things I didn't know I knew < Surprised. V can perhaps name 5 provinces in India

well, at the moment, I'm trying to break free, dabbling in a couple of different styles. Generally, though, I go from character to character, revealing a little of their inner selves to the reader, how they are reacting to some event. I haven't tried first person, since it was so frowned upon when I was taking my writing courses, I didn't (and still don't) think that I'm a good enough writer for that style. I do tend to stream at times, but that always leads me into places I might not have wanted to go in the first place, but its very good for stories in which I have no idea where its going! I wish that I could say I was a good writer, but I'm guessing its more a c+ or b- effort on my part. I actuallly wrote alot of sci-fi before I found the internet, but now that I'm here, I seem to be deep in the middle of fantasy land, with a couple of gritty "present day" mystery pieces here and there. I don't know why. I actually have an entire universe stuck in my head. On occasion, I visit there.

Actually, Pixagi reminded me of another human thing, and a conversation me & my daughter got into today: sex can and is used as a tool of power. During the serbian/croatian war, let us not forget there were rape camps set up to deflower muslim girls so they could not marry, since marrying a virgin is a prerequisite of the muslim faith. This was a very devious hurtful and blatantly cruel thing. One of the topics in her history class was the Japanese invasion of China where, as soon as the allies were conquered, the women and children were rounded up and used. Men do very evil things with that thing called sex. I think, to them, it can and is used as a means of power and domination. and PS: double posting is pretty annoying. Just please use the "edit" button and we'll think about forgiving you

RAts! I'm no longer allowed to create elaborate plots in a plotless story

Village Idiot. (What, you've never heard of it, let alone played it?) That's because I just made it up! (Clever me!)

NG! emphatically! However, if I had a collection of Conan the BArbarian, I might show it off. Alas, I am too poor and weighed down with responsibilities and well, here. G/NG: avoiding work essential to upkeep, then getting mad when things fall apart (ie: the house, the car, the teeth)

Guilty. How soon did you say?

Because there are rulers and scales, why?
