(Soo.. not sure if i was accepted or not (app is on page 23 i think? o.O) but i figure i'll post anyway :3)

I actually don't like having a lot of romance in stories.. it seriously depends on what kind of story. In what feels like every fantasy book i ever read, theres some steamy love scene involving.. well, yeah. I think what puts me off well and truly is the language that authors tend to use, especially if they're going all the way.

I, for one, am terrible at writing real romance, and this, i feel, is mainly cause i've never experienced it. And most of my writing comes from true experiences just... twisted up somewhat And, i dunno, i feel like sometimes is just so darn awkward writing that kinda stuff.

oh oh! for the Deity mascot thingie - can i put in a suggestion?

How about Athena? Cause she's is the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill. And.. I dunno, I feel like it kinda suits ^_^ And you do need a little bit of all of that in writing

[MBRShorse]

I'll add it to the list! So far there are four suggestions. I'll wait a few more days for suggestions to come in, and then we can vote.

We could have the Egyptian goddess Seshat. She is the goddess of wisdom, knowledge and writing.

[*~.Imagination.~*]

I think we should go with book characters, but if we DO go with a deity... can we make our own? XD Like some kind of God or Goddess of books or creativity and writing and stuff XD Maybe she could be mute and only speak on paper! There could even be like a contest to design her look and write her background story and such! ^.^

*wants to fistbumb imagination for the best idea ever*

[MBRShorse]

Imagination, that is an amazing idea! All in favor, say "Ai!".

Of fiddlsticks, I can't participate because I need to judge. Well, I think we should still go through with the idea. I want to see what you Writer's can come up with.

*nods* I have a question: Do you prefer writing about males or females?

[MBRShorse]

So far I can only really cope with females, being a female myself, but lately I have been itching to write about a male. I need to focus on my current novel, though, so I'm supressing the need.
