[Horse231]

Cool thanks! I am really excited to get to meet everybody. I had been looking at this thread for awhile but I just now got the nerve to join

Do you have any writing to share so far? :3

Well sine I tend to handwrite things it takes a really long time for me to get it onto my word documents and my computers been a butt head but as soon as I have something I am able to share then I will!

Will you critique other's work?: Possibly...

Anything you want us to know?: I was a member of this club/group thing last year, but then I left for, like, six months. I was known as ~Fang~ and found myself on the list of members. I just decided to fill this out instead of a name change one because I didn't want to all of a sudden jump back on after about six months and fill out a name change form and have people be like, "What...? Who the hell are you...?" So, yeah...And I can't be on every day because high school sucks, especially when you have a teacher who piles on a ton of really hard homework, tells the class it's easy, and complains the next day when the class yells at her telling her the homework was hard.

do you often become emotional while reading stories?

Only when the story is really good and pulls me in. Though mostly, it's when there's suspense or something cute happening. It's when I start to flail about and squeal *lol* (sometimes I talk to the characters, too, like "noooo, don't do that! Ohmergawd!" or "you idiot! Whyyy?" - note: I only do that when I'm alone. When I'm not, all this happens in my mind)
Making me cry is a very hard endeavour, but I guess that's also partly because I'm not picking those stories that probably would make me cry. I usually don't cry when people die. It's a very... specific thing for me. I think I have already given an example in this thread what I "need" to make me cry (which was the song "Ten" by Yellowcard). I think it's also got to do with what I can identify with, or for what I have much empathy in particular.
If you know the anime/manga Air/AIR (not Air Gear, just Air) - that's one I have bawled my eyes out over. Back when I was a kid, I have cried when watching Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer XD (you know, that scene when they bully him and he walks away all alone).
There really aren't that many stories that made me cry. I think it's harder to pull that off with words than with pictures, so kudos to everyone who does manage to do so.

Tl;dr
When the story pulls me in, I am, but usually for suspense and cuteness, as I rarely cry.

Not usually- except when it's something really sad (like the Book Thief) or something's ending (like Harry Potter). Other than that, I'm strangely unemotional when reading/watching TV. I mean, I feel a little sad but I usually don't cry and it usually doesn't affect my mood or anything. Oh, except when I was reading about Umbridge in Harry Potter. Everything she did made me really mad and urgh she was the worst.

Yes when theres a part that is exciting I start saying quietly yes yes yes or no no no.

Ah. So I am not the only one:


Your father is alive

I grabbed the person sitting next to me and started shaking them saying,"Her father is alive! Her father is alive!"

hey peeps.

do you often become emotional while reading stories?

Often. Most of the time I just get really excited and stuff. Sometimes I get teary-eyed, but I rarely cry. If you can make me actually cry, then you know you've done a good job (oh, I'm not heartless, I just read warrior cats, where characters die so often you start wanting your favourites to die). I remember a couple of times I've gotten emotional reading my own stories (???), but most of the time I just end up having a major hysteria fit.
...and they say reading is good for you.
