Username: ѕιχƒ33тυηᴅєятнєѕтαяѕ. c:
What You'd Like Help With: Coding, coding, and more coding. Form making, physical descriptions, and plot development also need work.
Preferred Instructor:
Activity or Time Zone: Central timezone; since I've started school, I'm barely online during the week, maybe two hours a day (4-6 pm CST). However, I'm online throughout the day on weekends.
Sample of Writing (Note: this is from a roleplay, and I don't usually write this much. One to two paragraphs is the norm for me.)


I had to admit that feeling his pale eyes rake over my body wasn't as uncomfortable as I would have originally thought it'd be. It was actually sort of flattering, knowing that even guys liked looking at me. It then occurred to me that perhaps I was going to be living with a boy that liked other boys - or maybe my gaydar wasn't as accurate as most people's. Either way, I had no problem with Joey being gay; to each his own, y'know? I would just have to get used to it. However, the pipsqueak was going need to learn very quickly not to invade my personal space all the time. I was about to mention something about it when he suddenly backed away, asking me to make him a cup of coffee for himself. What did I look like, a butler? "Sure, I guess," I replied amicably; I figured I may as well let my guest make himself at home.

As I retreated to the kitchen, the sounds of his efforts to drag his suitcase upstairs met my ears. The whine of frustration shouldn't have driven my thoughts straight to the gutter like it did. Overactive hormones really were one of the most irritating parts of being a teenage male. I tried to distract myself from the small flush of color staining my cheeks as I drained the pot of the last bit of the what could pretty much be considered my life source into a mug, the addict in me calling for another serving. I'd definitely had enough for the day, though; one more cup, and my hands would be quivering. I didn't exactly know what to add to the coffee, given that I'd just met the guy - though, as a Starbucks employee, I had gained quite the bit of knowledge as to what most people liked... and just a small variety of different things to add.

By the time I had finished making Joey his cup of coffee - I'd ended up pouring my usual amount of sugar and a caramel creamer in, turning it almost as pale as his skin - I could hear faint footsteps coming down the stairs. He'd spent a bit longer than I'd thought he would up there. Was he just checking out my room? It was to be expected, since that's where he'd be staying for the next three months. I glanced over to the doorway leading from the living room to the kitchen to see my new roommate sauntering in with tired eyes. An amused half-smirk played at my lips as I grasped the handle of the mug, handing it to him. "Here you go, man; enjoy." I watched him take a sip of the scalding drink, the noises coming from his throat again going straight to the wrong part of my mind. When he relocated to one of the stools standing behind the counter, I followed, taking a seat next to him.

When he asked of my mother, I had to rack my brain for her whereabouts. Between waking up to her evicting me from my room for the day and Joey's arrival, I'd lost track of her. "If I remember right, she's probably somewhere around here, cleaning; she's been sort of frazzled since she woke me up this morning. Guess she wanted to make a good impression on you or something," I replied with a soft chuckle as he got to his feet. The next thing I knew, there he was, putting his hands on me again. He really seemed to enjoy touching me. I guessed I'd have to lay down the law after he got settled in - I didn't want to make him uncomfortable as soon as he set foot in my home. "You'll, uh, probably get to meet her in a bit, even if she's kind of just buzzing around the house right now."

Username: Charlie. -Though I accept Char as well as Charloop :3
What You'd Like Help With: Oh goodness..everything really though I'll attempt to make a list of what I'm most looking for help with:

- Extensive Vocabulary (From Gr.1-5 I was in French Immersion so for thoes of you who are not familiar with it, I learned all of my subjects in French. From Gr.6-8 I did take normal English classes yes but none of my teaches have really focused on vocab and as an RPer I realize how important vocabulary really is)
- Sentance Structure/Segways -Connecting thoughts and ideas- (Oh don't even get me started on this! I've noticed recently that all my senences are the same length, that I use comas was too often but frankly, I don't know any other way to write.)
-Illiterate to Semi-Literate+

Preferred Instructor: Honestly it really doesn't matter to me. Finding this thread gave me hope that I'd finally be able to change my wrighting style so all I'd really like to ask for is a member of this thread who would best be able to help me with most of (if not all) the issues above
Activity or Time Zone: Eastern Daylight Time? (I think? :$ I'm really bad with Timezones)
Sample of Writing: Here I'll provide two examples, one on my not so good days and the other on one of my (seldom) better days:


Dakotah


Dakotah had to quickly cover his mouth with the back of his hand to stop himself from bursting out laughing as he came down the deserted hallway. Seeing Addison's face pressed up against the glass -even if it was blood caked and filthly- manged to somewhat untangle the bundle of nerves in his stomach, and he had to force himself to re-arrange his features back into a scowl as the guard unlocked the door next to him. A moment later the old man had emerged from the cell, a ragged Addison in his grasp before locking the door behind him and shuffling away. If Dakotah wasn't mistaken, he thought he heard something about cat pee before the guard was gone and he was left stand alone with Addison.


Ƨcσяcнвℓαʓɛ


Scorchblaze remained standing there, silent and assertive, watching every move she made, every emotion that flittered across her troubled eyes. Try as she might, Scorchblaze knew her well enough by now to be able to detect the emotions she so desperately tried to steel behind a cool glare. He didn't know how long they just stood there, the two of them staring at each other. He thought for sure she could hear the pounding in his chest, the raw paralyzing shock that stopped him from moving any closer. Is she really here? Or am I just halucinating? His desire for her was so strong, he wouldn't put it past his body to conjure up image of her, and for what? To cruelly tempt him? But then he felt her claw, laid so carfully on his chest and as his gazed downwards at it, his eyes flicking just as quickly back up to her's as realization crashing down on him. She's really here, it's really her. Her words mirrored his thoughts and before he could collect his bearings, she smiled, and he felt like he'd been flung right off his paws. The chilling frost that had settled over his heart, that he hadn't even realized had been there intill that very moment thawed in that one smile, and the crackling ice that had shifted between them, silent but still there splintered and cracked, shattering all his doubts. "I never really left Shadowfang, my heart always rested with you..and I with it." He whispered and all of a sudden he felt it, pure joy sizzling through his veins. It was so strong that Scorchblaze couldn't help but succumb to it and soon he found himself chuckling and then, he was laughing, unable to stop the musical laughter erupting from is throat. He crossed the gap between them in an instant, lifting Shadowfang up off her paws and into his arms. He twirled her around and through the air, drunk on her sent and the feel of her fur against his. He never wanted to let go, just stay here like this with the two of them pressed so tighly against one another there was hardly any room to breath.

If you're reading it then looks like you've taken an interested in getting to know me though I can't imagine why you would possibly do something like that. I'm a teenage girl with too many fandoms to count, too many interested to include in a signature, and all in all multiple obsessions that have pretty much ruined my life.

I'm a Canadian and proud to be one. I can assure you I most certainly do not ride polar bears or live in an igloo though that does sound pretty awesome. I aspire to be a writer, so I very much enjoy RPing though my grammar's atrocious. Overall I'm a fairly normal gal with a tendency to ramble, but don't let that scare you off! If anything here has peaked your interest then please feel free to shoot me a PM.

Username: Gui-Chi
What You'd Like Help With: Lengthening posts, coding, character development and using apple products
Preferred Instructor:
Activity or Time Zone: GMT. I will also be starting school soon, and won't be on until about 4:30, and Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I have various activities in the evening. But that shouldn't take up to much time. I will however have lots of homework as I'm starting GCSE course work :D
Sample of Writing: First of all, please forgive me for spelling words wrong. I only learnt the Japanese pronunciation, not the spellings.

Caterina

Caterina Black calmly entered the nearly empty dojo. Remembering to bow, the newly appointed brown belt made sure to keep her head up, as Sensei always told her to. The blonde slipped off her old, worn out trainers and set them down by the cream coloured wall, out of the way. After signing in the child decided to run over her latest kata, Basidi. Basadi translated to Storming the Fortress. Although she didn't understand why a kata was called something so strange, she went though it at half speed. She stepped forwards, performing something similar to a hammer head punch. Now she was at such a high level, she wasn't told the names of movements, as she was expected to know them. She continued through the kata, smiling whenever she came to familiar blocks.
