{ ＩＮＫＬＩＮＧＳ } LOCK! NEW THREAD

[Charias]

Good for you, opia! I know the feeling, you know. Curse my stupid self-critisism.

But, I'm happy to say, I've rediscovered the joy in writing! Over the past year, every single thing I wrote has been very mature, very heavy and usually pretty depressing. But I decided to try something more light-hearted and childish for once, and I'm enjoying it so much more than anything I have written before. I think I might permanantly switch my writing style. Or at least temporary. I must see where this new project leads.

I would love if some people would give me their opinions on the first chapter. Here's a link for anyone who's interested: x. It's not quite done yet, but it would be nice to hear what people think. c:

Username: .Arrow.
What we will call you: Arrow
Will you critique other's work?: Yes. Dependant on how busy I am and what the story is about.
Links to your story if you have any: I'm too lazy to find the link, but I have an account on Fanfiction.net that I use to practice writing. The only fics up are OC Pokemon fics. Username is Frozen Archer.
Anything you want us to know?: Not really. I was an active member on the old thread, though. I probably won't share much of my stories with the exception of fanfics.

Wow! This got to be a very active thread...
I wasn't trying to say you broke the law. I mean, you haven't started it.
I also wasn't trying to be rude. I could have phrased it better if I had known that critique was hard for you. (That's probably something that should be mentioned when joining a writing group, but you never saw this coming so don't away it, and I didn't really either.
I have a hard time writing things that people can accept, because I just assume people will either agree, or agree to disagree which shows naïveté on my part. I end up speaking my mind and it either gets blown out of proportion, gets taken the wrong way, or leaves me flustered so I sound like the bad guy. [I kind of feel like that's what happened this time, but it wasn't your fault.
Just so it's clear: I wasn't calling Opia a lawbreaker of anything. I wasn't saying you couldn't write it, because you can. I also didn't make the law -which from the little I heard about it was saying it isn't allowed for an 18 year old (or older) to be dating a, say, 13 year old because of implied actions happening in the relationship, which was deemed inappropriate for kids. If I'm wrong, correct me, but that's what I gathered from it.])

I'm sorry that I made assumptions. I didn't really get much info so I assumed -see! There's an assumption!- that you didn't intend it to be that way, so that 's why I sounded like I was demanding you fix it rather than suggest.
I hope there's no hard feelings and I didn't really mean for this to turn into an argument...

I also hope you didn't quit writing because of me. I have a bit of nervousness with showing what I write, too, but I didn't really notice that I sounded like I was bashing you or your ideas.
There *do* need to be more controversial books out there, so you should definitely add one to that.

I don't really feel like participating in this any more -though I wouldn't mind clearing up anything- because it kind of got a little, well, overpopulated, plus I'll probably say the wrong thing.
I wanted to end on a light note, but I don't really know how, so here! A smiley face.

i'm going to be writing a book that will be titled "letters to lanie". it will be about a college boy who obsesses over an eleven-year-old girl two houses down, and begins to write letters to her. some of them he sends, some of them he doesn't. that's the basic idea, at least. anyone interested?

Hm. I know that you've made up your mind, but I say to give it a shot. I wouldn't read it myself, but people out there probably would. Again, just make sure that it is safely out of reach of idiotically inquisitive children. (Cough... Me. Being a minor myself, I am curious and highly impressionable. XD I'm not into romance, though.)

On a lighter note, what are your opinions on cowriting? Have you ever cowritten something? Finished it?
I've cowritten some stuff, but only finished one thus far. I'm looking to cowrite again, probably a story on CS. Is anyone interested? *Peeks out timidly from under sheltered writing corner* Forgive me if my writing is terrible, though. X3 and is anyone here big on writing comedies? I know, I know. They're random and childish, but I find it a nice break from my murder and horror. (Yes. I'm a kid that writes gore and murder. Deal with it, obsessive and snoopy parents.)

[Charias]

Oh no, not obsessive and snoopy parents. They're the worst. My mum's always asking to read some of my stories, but I think if she did she would be horrified. And my dad would ban me from writing forever.

I'm trying co-writing on another site and... let's just say it's awful. it's all about her, and she doesn't care about what i have to say. i'm to the point where i'm just agreeing to everything and i've been waiting for almost a week now for her chapter. i really don't like co-writing.

ugh. no, i'm sorry. i've been a bit of an emotional wreck recently and my hormones are making me angry with EVERYTHING. [s]i love being a boy but the hormones are eating me alive /sobs[/s] so i'm sorry. i think i'll write it, it'll be his point of view, but i'll make sure not to have any sex in it or anything. i had been planning to have him babysit her and try to get her to understand that he felt like he was in love with her and stuff. thank you, though, and i'm really sorry.

[ @ lilysplash well, i don't particularly like cowriting, but i don't mind it when the intentional author dies and they already told someone the ending and that person finishes the book off the ones that i read like this are unintentionally all horror

but if you mean school projects, i have a little story about that. it didn't turn out well for the unmanipulative side (myself and a girl) but it turned out brilliantly for the controlling one. this is why i, surprisingly for a boy, barely talk to other boys - they all tend to be manipulative. ugh. ]

[Lilysplash]

Oh, parents these days! I'm horrified to show them anything I write, mainly because they disapprove of the books I write fanfiction for. TT~TT
They probably just assume that I'm texting all day on my phone rather than finishing my angsty one-shots. X3
As for cowriting, my experiences have always been fairly pleasant; not too many problems in the area of deadlines or bossy coauthors. XD Then again, I'm an absolute doormat, so I easily nod my head as people crush my ideas or attempt to scam me in trades. I don't ever delete without a message. -.-" Even when I really should.
Anyway, opia, your experience sounds horrible! :c Was your coauthor at least a decent writer with okay ideas? Again, I'm looking to cowrite with somebody on CS, but no one would probably be willing to work with a less widely known author like me. I cowrite lighter stories in my free time, and usually we're both highly indecisive. XD you should see our emails. "Um... what should we write about?" "Anything's fine. What do you have in mind?" "I don't know, whatever you like!" XD we're painfully considerate and wishy-washy! Cowriting in school? I wish. Pah. Essays, essays, essays daily! We even reviewed fiction stories in essay format. *Facepaw*
