around the time of chivalry, all women really had to do was come from a good family, be pretty, virtuous, and be able to create a litter of brats. I don't think that that counts as chivalry, especially since women were really nothing more than slaves when you think about it. This is coming from a girl who has to study 'American Girls' in one of her classes and yes, it is scary how women were treated and, in some cases, still treated today. But, not to make you think I'm some sort of extreme feminists, I also think that it is unfair that young men were treated by their prospective bride's fathers as studs.

I live at an all girl's college where everyone seems to think that there is no such thing as obsession or stalking and if you don't have a boyfriend you're either a, and I quote 'dyke' or some sort of freak. Last year one of my classes had to talk about rape in a story and we got off on a tangent. One girl said that women should stop 'whining' and be 'better sports' and that it was no wonder so many girls didn't have boyfriends cause they were so uptight. Ugh. So, I can understand about 'sluts and fools'. Nothing in this world is black and white and, unfortunately, there is no easy solution to life's problems and no one seems to want to take the time to fix things. If it has an easy answer, there all over it, even if that answer is not what is best for everyone else.

I don't know if this should go here, but since there is no section for music, I suppose it's as good as any. I've had this song stuck in my head for weeks and it's really starting to annoy me. It's annoying because I can't translate japanese. I can figure out what the japanese words are, it's one of the few things I'm good at, but I can't find the english translation anywhere, so I thought that maybe someone here could help me. The song is ame ni mo... kaze ni mo by Takacha. Here are the japanese lyrics as best I can figure them out: Kaze ni fukarete ame ni utarete Demo aruite ikeru kara Jibun no tame ni jiyuu no tame ni Demo mazu hito no tame ni Tama ni ikisaki wakara naku nari Sara ni tachimachi ugoke naku naru Kurushi magire ni yowane wo haku Tamashii nukete taore sou ni naru Koko made kita no hito kurou (Amai!)

Thanks.

Before you read any further: yes, this fic is for Gundam Wing. No, you do not need to be familiar with or like Gundam Wing to understand my questions. I was cleaning my room two days ago when I came across an ancient, unfinished fic of mine called 'The Asylum'. I desperately want to keep working on it, but what I had written wasn't how I write today, so I'm rewriting the whole thing. The plot is that Heero and Trowa are starting to work at a mental hospital and they notice that there is something not quite right about the place, some of it's patients, and some of its doctors, including the head of the hospital. With the help of three mental patients, they try to figure out the truth, which is very difficult considering they are ill. Question 1: What should I call this fic? 'The Asylum' is so blase and cliched, but I can't think of a different title. Question 2: Since this fic has a kind of mystery/plot twist to it, I don't know how to structure it. Should I go with dramatic irony and make it clear at the beginning what is going on or should I keep the reader in the dark until the end for a sort of Saw/Secret Window type shock? If I go with dramatic irony, I can put a lot more detail and not tip toe around certain scenes just to keep up the mystique and readers won't feel compelled to reread the whole thing just to understand stuff they might have missed. If I go for shock on the other hand, readers might be more interested in continuing to see what is going on and the fic might seem more creepy and mysterious. I like either method, but what is better for readers? Thanks

if you are going for the humorous or erotic, I would say, have her be naked when she transforms back. However, if you want it to be more serious or credible, have her normal clothes transform into her fantasy outfit. This way, you don't have to bother with the clothes nearby scenario and when she changes back, she'll have the same outfit. That just makes more sense to me. That's how Sailor moon worked. Cardcaptor Sakura scenarios only work if your character has a sidekick to carry around her normal clothes and help her change when danger arises, like Tomoyo. Or, you can have an Ah My Goddess or Scar Tissue approach in which the character is not human and can transform her clothes to anything she wants by changing molecules using magic.

with monarchy, it's in the family. Just because one person is fit to rule doesn't mean that their children will be. Also, I don't know if this is still true, but in the olden days, kings were seen as 'chosen by god' and I feel that is way too pompous. There is no such thing as a perfect ruler or a perfect system. You just have to make the most out of what you're given and try to find ways to improve on the system. Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about our current politics, so I can't really say if Obama would be a better president than Hilary.

My cousin's three year old daughter, Inoue, doesn't watch any of the kids shows, she just watches the animal planet and reads a lot. So, I guess we really dodged the bullet with her wanting material things. When we're in the store together, I'm confident that I won't have one of those annoying conversations with the child that, no, you CAN'T have that. But, my cousin didn't teach her that materialistic is wrong or that she couldn't watch Dora or any other kid shows, she just made the choice on her own. I think that people baby their kids too much and try to make too many decisions for them. I know the feeling. In my childhood, I had very little freedom to make my own choices. My mom bought my clothes, tried to make me make friends with a certain kind of person, and forced me go to church. It was damaging because now, whenever I make a choice, I have a sort of hesitation, especially if I know that my mom wouldn't approve. it's taken a lot of willpower to get around that. Watching cartoons that market products doesn't make you materialistic. Just like the fact that if you are a loner, it doesn't mean you're going to snap or go crazy. It's all about personality and choices.

my parents don't even know what fanfiction is, so I thought that I was safe. I mean, until my mom got her new job, she didn't know how to use a computer and since my parents are republican conservatives, there's no way I want them reading my yaoi fics. However, around x-mas, while I was at work, my mom 'broke into' my computer and read some of my fics. Naturally, shit went down and I kind of wish I had that privacy back. All my friends know that I write fanfiction and that is yaoi and explicit, but they don't know the extent, nor do they read my stuff. My cousin, on the other hand, not only reads and understands my works, he contributes to a lot of the plots and sex scenes. It's nice having a true pervert to bounce ideas off of.

This is a story I have with three main characters, *, **, and ***. * and *** are psychologists just out of school that go to work at a mental hospital. They meet a patient, **, who is just a teenager and seems to have schitzophrenia, but there is something very off about him. The two doctors discover that there is a huge secret involving the patient and the rest of the hospital and have to solve it, even though their only witness has a broken mind. I don't won't to name it something so simple and cliched as the Asylum, or anything like that, but that's the only thing I can think of right now.

When I was fourteen, my cousin developed a tumor in his left lung. Before he went into surgery, I prayed a ton. I prayed for him to make it through the surgery and for me to be a stronger person. Hell, I prayed for a shitload of things at that point of my life. But, nothing changed. The world and my views were the same. It didn't really accomplish anything and it didn't make me feel better. If anything, it made me feel like an idiot, like a teenager talking to an imaginary friend, so I stopped praying all together. During surgery, he experienced a near death experience, but he said that, since he was a schitzophrenic and had been having delusions since he was seven, he didn't see how it was any different. I wish I could believe in god, I really do, if only because the thought of absolutely no existence after death scares me, but hell, seeing a ghost would suffice for that. I spent all of my childhood and most of my teenage years going to church and I just couldn't see the point of going anymore. I've seen too many terrible things in my life to have blind faith, which is the only thing that could make me believe in god since I'm so scientifically minded. But mostly I don't believe in god because I have no need for him/her/it in my life. I'm torn between wanting to have the sort of comforting beliefs that others have and liking the 'eyes wide open' approach my belief system has. I reckon that even if I did have proof that there was some sort of deity, it wouldn't change my life very much, so I don't see the point in wasting my life looking for one.

there isn't a character limit, so you might want to get technical assistance for your problem or just try reloading it.

During National Novel Writing Month, donations were asked for, but it was not mandatory, yet a ton of people donated. So, I think it is a good idea, though I don't even have a bank account, let alone a paypal account, so I won't be able to.

I'd play the celebrity game except for the fact that I often don't know what body part is being discussed when people use terms like that. I'm very technical in my sex descriptions. I mean, I greatly prefer calling semen 'cum' instead of *shudder* 'boy juice.' I do like some exaggeration, but when it gets too much, like the latter mentioned term, it just reminds me of poorly written romance novels. However, i try not to let those terms keep from enjoying the fic. Bad grammar, on the other hand, makes the story too hard to read, so after awhile, I get frustrated and stop reading. I don't think everyone needs a beta. I've never had one and I've never had any complaints about poor grammar or other such problems. Personally, I like posting my stuff the second that I finish it, so I've never sought out a beta. I don't like it when people tell me I've done something wrong if they don't tell me how to fix it, so if so many people have a problem with this sexual language, how can we fix it? Of course, there will always be discrepancies with language. I like to use cock, which bothers my friend, who likes to use 'love rod', which annoys me.

I was an accident, too, but I got adopted as a baby, so I never had to deal with that stigma. I think that you can be an accident and still be loved.

I used to have a friend that was angry all the time, but since we were all scared of when she was going to start yelling, we felt like we could never be ourselves around her. While keeping anger inside is not healthy, finding a positive outlet, like ranting in this forum, is better than constantly fighting and yelling in the real world, while it may make you feel better, it makes everyone around you feel insecure. It takes more courage finding a medium between civility and rage than just saying everything that you want to say.

story wise, ten pages, and yes it was both confusing and funny.

this is an original ABC fiction this started as a school assignment and is due next tuesday, so comments and suggestions are greatly needed. Thus far, it is a one shot Title: Rats Author: Shinigamiinochi Rating: Adult+ for violence and dark themes Summary: When her stepmother came, the scratching started Feedback: thorperin@pmc.edu Fandom: Original URL: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600096367

or, you know, you could just look at how people are now instead of something that happened many years ago. My friend was severly depressed when she was younger, but now she's an adjusted person. So, instead of seeing her as a depressed person, I do the logical thing, and look at her as she is now.

I don't think there are any rules against posting fics that you wrote when you were under 18 as long as you are of age now, if there is, I'm in major trouble because most of my fics were written in middle school/high school. I'd post your nightmare in the aimless babble section.

alas, the fanfiction community is not ready for my dreams. (or as i like to call them, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets H.P. Lovecraft)

heh, then maybe that's what ice cream is REALLY made of.

i think that as long as you're sorry about it, then no one should judge you. I mean, if you did something bad a very long time ago, but didn't have any guilt over it, then, yeah, people should be able to judge you. But, having someone judge you for something that you are really sorry for isn't fair. You know what you did was bad, you don't need other people stating that as well.

because we, as women, always have low self esteem. It seems like no matter what we do, it will never be good enough. There will always be some imperfection and we zone in on that instead on focusing on the stuff about ourselves that we like. It doesn't help that the media shows happy, thin women with no imperfections. Since I was a child, I was told that being like those women was to be happy. Since then I've learned differently. I don't date, so I don't feel like I have to put myself on display like a lot of my friends. It is sad, but most of our society still treats women like dolls. Keep giving your girl compliments. It may not look like it's doing much good, but trust me, it's when those compliments stop that is really damaging.

this chapter is a sort of flashback/backstory type thing. in the present story, we know that the child's uncle (the villain) has done something terrible in the past. The child is also a werewolf, so I'm going to play around with a lot of instinctual observations about the villain. It's also not going to help because his family hates him, so he has to deal with his uncle no matter how he feels about him. The one feature that I wanted for Draven (bad guy) was that his eyes are black and no light or images reflect in them. Even the child doesn't know that his uncle is evil, he just feels like everything is very 'wrong' when he is around him.

yeah, but it's hard since my main character's a five year old brazilian boy so there's probably going to be a lot of observations that he's not going to understand, but perhaps I can use that to my advantage.
