I'm trying to come up with another idea for a contest... But I just don't have any inspiration D:

SuperZombiePotatoe 09-08-2014 05:58 PM

Create a super hero?

Libra 09-08-2014 06:35 PM

Hmm, that would be a fun one SZP.

sjacklene 09-08-2014 08:00 PM

Favorite TV show character.

Libra 09-08-2014 10:40 PM

Hmm... Perhaps. xD

sjacklene 09-10-2014 11:02 PM

Disney Villians. Muhahahaha.

GummyBearKisses 09-11-2014 06:22 AM

Super heros or tv characters both sound good or maybe a ONE COLORED THEME where we pick a color and everything must be that color our backgrounds clothes hair etc all solid one color or maybe do astrological signs theme like we dress Pisces Leo Libra etc etc =)

sjacklene 09-13-2014 07:02 PM

Now that would be fun! :D Astrological signs. Wooo!

H-hello!
I didn't fill out the form even though I'm new 'cause I'm decently dressed... what's up everyone? Apart from the title bar?

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-06-2014 09:10 AM

Greetings, Dandy! Welcome to Mene [hug]

Dandelioness 10-06-2014 09:55 AM

Thanks :D
I thought Loki was hot in the Avengers movie. (SHOCKER: Only superhero movie I've seen!) Now I think he's ultra kawaii as a kitty.

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-06-2014 10:27 AM

Welcome! Have you been exploring the site?
Loki is just... [drool] I want a Loki kitty so I can pet it [XD]
Really? You haven't seen any other super hero movies O_O

Dandelioness 10-06-2014 10:40 AM

Yep, I have a bit. I'm not into games much :P but the forums have everything! I should get into some RPs here. I like that there's a literature spot, I need more beta readers who aren't emotionally attached to me xD.
Nope. But then I'm not one for watching loads of movies. I watch a lot of the Disney animated ones... that's not weird right? /pulls anshush face

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-06-2014 11:22 AM

Ah, but the games earn you goldies with which you can buy stuff [eager]
You can earn 250g from games.
Yeah, the rp community is awesome. Very welcoming, you can get some good buddies there [yes]
Haha, I need beta readers too. If you want a reader, I could help you out. I love reading other people's work. It inspires me [=3]
That would explain it, hehe. And that's not weird. You'd be surprised by how many people do (me included [XP])

Dandelioness 10-07-2014 08:34 AM

250g? [drool][sly] There's no limit to how much you can play in 24 hrs is there?
Woohoo[boogie]It's awesome that you write too! What kind of things do you write? Short pieces, novels, critiques? What genre(s)?
Yep Disney movies are supposed to be 'family movies' after all [froggy]

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-07-2014 09:31 AM

Hmm, well I know that you play until you reach 250g. Then it resets the next day, so 250g a day [:D]
I love meeting other writers [squee]
I'm a big fantasy fan, so that's what I write. It started with poetry (lot's of mythology based stuff), then went onto a few short stories. Then I stopped for a while and now I'm working on my very first novel. It's kinda taken over my mind [sweat]
What about you, what stuff do you write? [eager]
Family movies and timeless [yes]

Dandelioness 10-07-2014 10:06 AM

I've written one novel, one's in the works. I write a lot of poetry and song lyrics, and the occasional short story.
I can't really write critiques because my thoughts about a story/song are not always coherent [:|]
Fantasy is COOL. I've got a couple of WIPs I'm not really working on which come under fantasy. Both are inspired by Indian mythology by varying degrees though... so I can't credit it all to my imagination :P

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-07-2014 10:37 AM

How awesome! Song lyrics has always seemed daunting to me for some reason. Thou art brave, milady [XP] Any tips on writing a novel?
I don't often do critiques, but I can do it. I used be unofficial class editor in high school. But, I get that. Sometimes things are just hard to explain [XD]
Fantasy is life [drool] I have a book on Indian mythology. I like the Diwali story, but don't know much else [XP]
Ah well, everything is based on something [dunno]

scarecrowdre4ms 10-08-2014 12:33 AM

Just to jump in on that convo you guys are having I'm a writer as well! I did NaNoWriMo last year (never finished WHOOPS) and I've written quite a few pieces. My #1 problem is that I have a lot of ideas and poor execution.
Anyways....
I'm new here, please don't eat me!

SuperZombiePotatoe 10-08-2014 08:46 AM

Yay, writer! Welcome to Mene [hug]
I haven't the guts to try NaNo, but good on you for giving it a go. I used to have that poor execution thing too, but I figured the only way to fix it would be to keep working at it [sweat]
What stuff do you write?

Dandelioness 10-08-2014 04:06 PM

Potatoe (okay if I call you that?) you're asking ME for tips on writing novels?!
I basically just blunder my way through 'til I reach the end XP... though the way I write differs with each novel. I guess because each novel is pretty different (Along with the one novel I've written two novellas in the past... they were shit xD.)
But those stories ended up novellas because the idea wasn't big enough, I was intending to make them novels but couldn't stretch them enough. So the only advice I think I'm safe to give is: make sure your idea can sustain a novel. If not, don't try stretching XP Some stories don't need so many pages for you to tell them, some need a lot more words [yes]
A lot of writers say that you shouldn't put unnecessary stuff in your story, you should only write in stuff that'll contribute to character or story dev, and I struggled to do that and was able to do it (better than I could do it before anyway.) Sometimes this leads to the story ending up like a skeleton without flesh. There are no absolute rules right and we have to use our own discretion to choose to follow the rules that work for us or for the story at hand.
I've gone on and on, that's prob a lot more than you asked for... sorry [sweat]
scarecrowdre4ms: [wave] Welcome! I'm new too! I used to have too many ideas too, and I couldn't choose between them, and I'd start on one idea only to have my excitement about it (and the idea itself) fizzle out. I'd say take one BIG idea and work on that (since we're talking novel-writing right now.) Or try to merge some ideas to make a big one.

Libra 10-15-2014 04:23 PM

I haven't been in here in a while >_>

Welcome Dandelioness: and scarecrowdre4ms:, I hope you all are enjoying yourself here on Mene! ^_^

I like writing, but I've never committed to a whole story. I'd like to write a whole story one day. Not sure when that will happen though.
