Hey, Holly! Wow, it seems like forever since MossClan... It was too bad it had to die, but I just couldn't really keep up with it with how busy I was. You're accepted!

Chevy(is it okay if I call you that?), can you fill out a form, please?

Hm... well, I guess you guys really don't know much about me other than what I have above. I am Kitty-lover93, but please call me Kitty; it's shorter, easier, and for some reason I respond faster to that... probably because that's what everybody calls me. I have no idea how Kitty-lover93 became my nickname; I've had it since 2008 on another website, and I guess I just grew attached to it, like it was my 'second name'.

I will happily criticize stories; I might be a bit blunt at sometimes and I apologize for that, but I shoot for constructive and if it helps, hey, why take it personally? There's room for everybody to improve. Writing is a skill that can only get better, and as long as you have people to help you, you can make it pretty far with it. I have found that I love getting criticism and hearing what other people think my stories need improvement on! When I give criticism, though, I sometimes tend to pick the story apart and fix minor errors, like an extra space or unneeded/needed/misplaced punctuation and words that sound a bit funny where they are; however, I do not like to mess with ideas, since if I did then I would basically be rewriting your story and that's not what criticism is all about.

I talk a lot(Example, look about at my paragraph about criticism!); sometimes, I talk too much and end up typing a paragraph of just me babbling on about something... like above. Sorry when this happens!

EDIT; I just realized that there aren't any more couch spaces! I'm going to have to assign two moderators to the recliners... hm. I don't know how to make this fair, and since I'm extremely indecisive with stuff like this, I'm just going to put all your usernames on little slips of paper and draw two of them from wherever.. yeah, that's just about the only fair way I can see. I post again with the winners in a second!

[Kitty-lover93]

(Oh, well I'm sure you guys guessed this, but since I didn't put it above... yes, I am a girl. XD)

Okay, I drew the names, and Holly and Ara won the recliner spots, which means they can accept and decline forms and whatever else moderators do, although only I can kick you out. That means that we've got an empty space for whoever fills out a form next!

I'm putting up a poll about the spaces, also. Keep a lookout for them! I'm going to try to work a bit on my first short story, but I completely forgot what I was going to do with it, so it might take some bit of thinking and time to try.

Thanks for accepting me! I have a question Kitty. Can poems be posted here, or just short stories?

[Holly Dash]

Thanks ye, Kitty-cat!

Oh my god, I didn't recognize you at first! Hah, and don't worry, every role-play falls apart once. I've been in so many I can't count anymore. Since you told a bit about yourself, I guess I will too...

I am a bit crazy. Okay, actually I am really twisted and weird. However, I take a great pride in that, and sometimes I call myself madman genius.

One of my favorite pastimes is manipulating people into breaking apart, or just experiment with other people's feelings. I have no heart and no feelings at all, but I very well understand how other people feel, even when I was very young I already knew very well the state of a person's inner world. Then something tragic happened to me and I destroyed myself from the inside. Then I started destroying everybody around me. Basically my family is either poor, broken souls or extremely hardened ones.

However, all my life doesn't revolve around other people and psychology, which I have a knack for. I enjoy literature and genetics - I have affiliated the continuation of my life with genetic engineering. Currently I am not single, but I am not in love with the person I am together with... I would call myself asexual. I'm definitely not looking for love and stuff.

Oh, and after you have read this boring rant, read even longer one here.

[BlueMoon130]

yes its ok if you call me chevy i will stick with that for my nickname.

[Kitty-lover93]

You can post both poems and short stories, yes. You're both welcome! I honestly thought that this idea hadn't struck interest a long time ago... xD I'm glad it has, finally, though.

Hehe, we should probably talk about something more on-topic... Do you guys prefer writing poems, short stories, or novel-type-things? I prefer to write longer things, but I think I want to try writing more short stories... it might be a good way to practice planning out the beginning, middle, and end of stories, since I can't ever seem to finish my stories. I can write poetry, but I don't think too highly of my own writings; the only times I really write poems are for prophecy-type things in role plays.

Okay, Chevy, can you make a form, please? You can either PM it to me or post it here.

[spookskingcal]

Okay, I have a poem that I've been working on. Is it okay if I post it? I was thinking of making it a short story, but I need to know what you guys think.

[Kitty-lover93]

Sure; that's basically the main point of the thread, so we can post stories and get criticism on them... plus, if you don't feel like posting an entirely new thread and don't know where else to post it, then you can post it here. I'll happily give you my opinion!

[spookskingcal]

Oskay. Here it is.

Kings and Queens, Medieval things.

Dungeons and Dragons and wonderous beings.

Pesants and Wizards, Royalty too.

That's what you'll find in the Land of Rool.

Spells and Concoctions, things that Wizards casts.

Balls and Dances, Halls made of glass.

Magical pools and Streams that sing.

Golden birds with silver wings.

Magic and wonder to all that appear.

The Land of Rool is truely near.

Bards and Minstrels and Courts full of Fools.

Jesters and Jugglers and Fire Eaters, too.

This is what you'll find in the Land of Rool.

But, Beware my Friends. Not all is true.

For not all is real: The Land of Rool.

I'm the kind of person that usually plans everything out, but can't exactly write it, because I'm bustling with ideas - as soon as I settle down with the one I've got now, suddenly a new one springs in my head.
