Woooaahhh @[email protected]

That's a lot. =O I can't compare. ^^;; I do have a BUTTLOAD of unfinished stories and stories that are in my head but have yet to be written, and a lot of really short drabbles as well. :> I can't seem to find the time to actually write longer pieces unless I'm required to for school or something. >.>;;

You should post your works then! =) <3<3

Thyme Traveler 02-13-2009 04:15 PM

Hello everyone!

I got bored waiting for you to reply in the Assassin thread, Cricky- so I hopped on over here. xD

Wow- a thread full of writers, I see. And I'm one too! =D

You should post some of that collection of stories,Silenia- if you haven't already.

Have any of you three published your work before?

Silenia 02-13-2009 04:18 PM

Like I said, most are in Dutch. And some of those in English I'd rather not have others read.
Plus the fact that with exception of a total of perhaps 20 stories, my stories tend to be written by hand. And even those I typed out, often are behind, as I wrote more on them I still have to type out.
I think I still have somewhat like 140k to type out, just on my seven biggest semi-active/active stories. xD

EDIT: Published. Hm. Not as an actual book or in a magazine, but I have posted some things on a couple of sites before.

Rylynne 02-13-2009 04:18 PM

Hihi there, Thyme~ =) <3

And me? =O Umm, in the school newspaper, yes. :> I'm working on submitting some articles to the newspapers here in the city. I've been offered to write, but I haven't grasped the opportunity yet because I don't know what to write about. D:

Other that that, nope, except for online, of course. ^^;; Although I am planning on working to submit something for an anthology of works by Filipinos. :> Depends if I have time to write a full-fledged short story though on secondary fantasy. =P

How about you? :3 <3

Thyme Traveler 02-13-2009 04:31 PM

@Silenia:
I'm just asking because I love reading works by people of my own age- it gives me a standard to compare my own writing with.
I admire that you can write in so many languages though-that takes skill! How many languages do you speak?

@Rylynne:
Hey there- I see you everywhere! xD

You've been offered to write?! You should take it up! Dx
Lol- it's just that I'd love to write for a school newspaper. If I get accepted by university this fall, I'm totally writing for the campus newspaper.

I have two novels-not-in-progress right now. xD
I'm too busy with school to write much now, which makes me sad- but I believe an education's the priority so I've put it aside for the present.
I started writing more when I moved overseas- to a country where the first language wasn't English. I'm kind of disappointed, because I feel like I have a knack for writing that could've been used better if I had been living in a place where someone would understand it.

Now I feel like I have to catch up! xD
Though my English teacher recently told me it's a miracle I kept up my college-level writing skills in a foreign country. xP
I read a lot- and I think that's what saved me. xD
Do you have a thread in the literature forum?

Insane Cricket 02-13-2009 04:38 PM

Sorry for vanishing again. I was doing more stuff for SSI. Finishing up paperwork, etcetera.

And now I'm too tired to catch up on the conversation. I think I might go to bed soon.

Thyme Traveler 02-13-2009 04:46 PM

S'okay.
Hope you can get some rest. ^_^

Silenia 02-13-2009 07:39 PM

Thyme Traveler: Nice username.
I speak Dutch and English fluently (or, in case of English, fluent as long as it isn't about very specific things, like medical treatments, illnesses or the like) and I can understand quite a few languages.
I can more or less fluently listen to or read German and French, and speak it a bit. Writing goes well, as long as I have quite some time. I know some Spanish and Italian, although not much. I can more-or-less understand it when written, and have a basic grasp of its meaning when spoken, if not too fast.
I can read a little bit Slovenian and Czech, not much, just enough to read a menu card or directions towards a certain place. I actively know perhaps five to twenty words in them when speaking. Not much. Stupid things anyway, like translations of 'fish' and the like.
It's just that reading is a lot easier, because I can compare the languages to others I know. I see the Latin influences in the Slovenian, Italian, French and Spanish languages, which gives me a basic knowledge of their meaning. I see also German influences in Slovenian and Czech, and a little in Italian, although not much. And many of the European languages have the same, or similar, roots anyway.
Oh, I have a basic knowledge of Latin as well, as well as Ancient Greek.

But as a concrete answer: I fluently speak Dutch and English, semi-fluently speak German and French and have a basic understanding of most other major European languages, although I do not actively speak them.

Insane Cricket 02-13-2009 11:06 PM

Would peoples in here that were involved in the writing discussion like to read my stuff in the literature forum? They don't have to, I was just wondering.

I'll go back and catch up with the conversation later. For now my stomach hurts and I'm about to resume gaming. I was bad and bought my roleplay partner an order set, so my gold is kinda feeling it. ^^;;

And I'm struggling not to just go out and buy all the commons for my current avatar question. ^^;;

Rylynne 02-14-2009 05:27 AM

I'll read through it when I can. :3 I haven't been keeping up with the Literature subforum as of late. ^^;;

And aww, that's so sweet of you to buy a set for her! :3

But oh! I see that you've bought some blue stuff already. =) <3

Insane Cricket 02-14-2009 05:43 AM

Yeah, I bought all the blue stuff I was questing for this avatar. @[email protected] Damnit... -Goes to plot new outfit-

The commons won.

Rylynne 02-14-2009 05:48 AM

Lolz. xDD;; Well, at least you have one dream avatar done with...? ^^;; <3<3

And aww, you only came now? :< I'm leaving in around 10-15 minutes to do a school project/presentation. ^^;;

Insane Cricket 02-14-2009 05:56 AM

Sorry, I was distracted. ^^;;

Actually, I've completed a lot of different dream avatars. o.o;

Rylynne 02-14-2009 06:00 AM

It's okay~ :3 I'll be back a a couple hours though, although I have to leave again soon after that. ^^;;

And oh! I was just saying that you have another dream avatar off your list, that's all~ :3 <3<3

Insane Cricket 02-14-2009 06:03 AM

Yeah, another dream avatar off my list, and a new one that needs to go on it. XD

I dunno if I'll be here when you get back. I might just go to bed in an hour or two.

Rylynne 02-14-2009 06:06 AM

Lolz! xDD;; You can never have enough dream avatars, I say~ =P

And ohh, okies then. =O Hope to chat with you some other time then. :3 <3<3

Insane Cricket 02-14-2009 06:08 AM

Well, hopefully we'll run into each other again at least. Because if I go to sleep, I've already had a nap. I might only sleep for a couple hours. I never know.

I'll add to the thing about dream avatars. You can also never have too many different items. =D

Silenia 02-14-2009 02:34 PM

Hm, I asked Kultura to come over. I suppose she will, in a couple of minutes. xD

Insane Cricket 02-14-2009 02:40 PM

Hopefully. Though I might also be going to bed soonish. I'm rather tired. ^^;;

Silenia 02-14-2009 02:44 PM

I understand.
It seems that Kultura isn't around at the moment anyway. I guess she just logged off.

Kultura 02-14-2009 02:46 PM

D: No! I didn't log off!
~My mum made lunch. Silly woman. I'm just after having my breakfast...

But I'm back now :)

Silenia 02-14-2009 02:48 PM

Ah, okay. xD I couldn't tell, you know. xD You never told me.

Kultura 02-14-2009 02:50 PM

I didn't have time... My mum was shouting :sweat:

Insane Cricket 02-14-2009 02:52 PM

Okay, well, the idea I had for a charity was a newbie charity called 'Bundles of Love'. Basically, we make little bundles of starter items (stuff under a hundred gold) and we sell them to newbies for 50 gold.

Anyways, Cricket is being dragged off to bed by his boyfriend creature.

Night. <3

(Kultura, please use punctuation like periods even if you're going to use an emote. I know an emote is round, but it's not a period. ^^;; )

Kultura 02-14-2009 02:56 PM

That's a good idea!

And the punctuation thing is noted, although I prolly won't start that. It's the end of the post, so obviously all I have to say. That's just the way I roll.
