WII sounds cute. like every of the Nintendo consoles. I am more of a PS guy. And since I do not have the money to buy both, I am gonna have to pass on the WII. Not that it makes me happy doing so.

I don't see why this thread should be locked. I do not see any head bashing. Personally I did not feel threatened by Bran's comment and I think he is a fine devater, made some very good points and I do agree that the both of us jumped to wrong assumptions. He challenged me and I answered, just like any gentleman would. And as for Alec's side of this I think you could pick up a lot from what was discussed on this thread. A good writer is also a great reader. Being able to pick appart the things that other people say/do is a valuable skill for a writer. I agree with Klaudia in that you should continue writing Alec. says I as I drink my cup of tea before my phil class.

Didn't he turn the technical support boards into a witch hunt for Blues once? and he got banned for trying to ask people to stop attaking one of the Blues?

It really isn't that original. A sad fact of writing. Most of the stuff I write is the result of am impression left by another writer's work. These for example are based on the tales of the mad man by Gibran Jalil. A Hindi writer. It does not, however, bring down the value of my writings. And I do apreciate the words of encouragement. thank you.

Allow me to translate. I am waiting for your response so I can show off my l33t devating skillz to these peoples, yo. (note how choose my diction to show what my imidiate reaction to that paragraph was) and you probably can assume my answer by the end of this sentence. now: That is probably what I would have said if the situation were a formal one. But it is not, and I really don't read these forums for their intelectual value. FP is a escape from my normal self, and it should stay that way, but it seems I have been challenged, and just like you B I enjoy such things. So, allow me to step up a little closer to your level. next (you wrote this so no need to re read it if you don't want to) You are basically saying that my frist assumption was not that far away from reality. You did asume it to be emo. Hence, my reaction is justified because I did react to what seemed to be an ignorant comment (which now seems to have come from a very smart person). Now allow me to give a little advise to our friend here. I like how intence it is. At times it becomes hard to follow but it is probably because of your coninious use of metaphor. I find that when writing it is better to write, forget about it for a while then read it over. Opinions change, just as people do. You might find something to reinforce your point while you were not thinking about your story. Sadly I have very little expericence with texts with such emotional charge. I do find them depressing, and scary at times. My work is more oriented towards a more neutral goal, balance and that kind of stuff. But then again I have not experienced that which you experienced. I seriously like it, I think you should continue on. Think very little of what other people think. You are a writer, what you do the way you do it is meant to have some mind of meaning. So the opinion of others is of very little value at times because they don't really know what your true goal is. And they do not happen to see all the story unfold at the same time as it is being written. One more thing. On things such as novels, it is probably not very wise to leak small pieces without some kind of background. I will show an example by the end of this post. the example shows a piece of my novel. It happens to be the introduction. I meant to show this part, rather than the actual begining of the story because it gives a general idea of what is going to happen without actually saying what is going to happen. It also sets up the location, and the general atmosphere of the novel. here we go: “Ladies, gentleman, and anything else clever enough to read these words, allow me to share the idea of me with you. I am the Oh-soh-Mightie-Creetor, not a name chosen by choice and if the choice were mine I would very likely chose it anyways. I, not the lord of any lands, not an entirely important figure to any one, or an entirely successful entity as far as entities of my kind go, thank you for allowing the following words to be observed by your eyes, perceived by your mind and hopefully spoken by your mouth. If these words were alive to the level to which they were able to stand up and speak for themselves rather than relying on their fellow words to rely a message, they would stand up and gently bow in prelude of the following show in which they all take a role. Furthermore allow me to explain why you are spending your time reading these words written by me and not those spoken or sung by anyone else. I am a writer. Like any writer I profit from people reading my words instead of the words of someone else. Yet there is something special about my words. My words tell about Ojala, my world. Debating the true existence of this world is as pointless as debating the existence of an all powerful being whose say goes anywhere in the universe. As far as I am concerned Ojala exists, I exist, and these tales are as true as the smile of your favorite person. I find myself arguing pro the existence of Ojala because, by a mere coincidence, its creator was I. In a way I wrote Ojala as any one anywhere might have also written me. I am not what you may call a god; I am simply a writer doing what I love. Therefore, even though every setting, every situation, every place was conceived by me, the actions, the decisions and the final result is entirely someone else’s fault. I find the need to share these tales with you because I am proud of them, not because I wrote them, but because the characters, the settings and the world itself behaves to perfection and is worth sharing with anyone who is willing to read forth.“ Note how I set up the story first. I chose to show this part because it does so. I am yet to show (in these forums) the development of the actual story. doing so without setting up a background just leaves a lot of ground for misinterpretation. Just like happened with our little devating friend Mr. B. ( I should probably run this through a spell check, and maybe edit it. but I wont. Mr. B you may pick on my grammar skills if you wish) OH! and 1 more thing. I apologize for turning this thread into a dogfight.

I hate you Amanda! I have been trying to write a poem about music for soo long now..... and you make it look... sooooo simple. I love thee

Hahha good one. first of all, "0_0 so emo. " is all I had to work with. And it is a reaction that I very much dislike. Sadly, I didnt know you well enough to judge as a joke. I didn't actually call you ignorant. I was using it as an example to issue forth the fact that judging is very easy to do. oh and last. jeesh dont diss my 3 sentence answers. come on, didn't someone say something like "wise men only speak that wich is worth hearing"? yeh

LOL didn't that discussion bump klakla right out of our channel?
-
^ so ignorant. easy to make quick judgements ain't it? I like this. lots of emotions in there but I totally see how it could become something larger and holding more meaning. Maybe if there was a development to the narrator people wouldnt judge "emo" right from the start. Emo... ptsh...

The inkshaper was a concept I came up a couple of years ago when I decided to write. It has gone from being me to being an alter-ego, now The Inkshaper is actually Orali (for those who have no read pieces of my novel, he is basically a young writer, the main character of my novel). After the novel ends Orali becomes the Inkshaper, assigned to this task by the Creetor ( the creator of Ojala) to record history and tell tales about Ojala. Here are some of his tales: ____________________________________ The girl. In one of my many travels through the stars I met a girl. Not a very special girl; though, some times I wish she had been. I talked to this girl and grew fond of her eyes, cheeks and smile (No, I did not steal them. For those who think they know where this story is going). After talking to her more, I fell in love with her morals and ideas but I hated her ideals. I proposed that she would accompany me to sail the stars. She refused. “Is it because I am crazy?” I asked. “It is because you are not” she answered. “But we have the same interests” I protested. She smiled, and I shut up. -Inkshaper _____________________________________________________ Supper One Evening, Morning, or Noon, I was sharing supper with the Creetor. “Nice day we are having” he said as he tore a piece of bread and dipped it in his chocolate. “Fine day we had I replied. He smiled “fine day we will have” He continued, and placed the soaked bread in his mouth. “That is for God to decide” I commented, and decided to have a piece of lamb. “And for the mortals to argue with” he chewed on his piece of bread, then swallowed it. There was a quiet pause in our chat while he washed down the piece of bread with his chocolate. That was not deep at all” I begun, the Creetor fixed his eyes on my eyes” Can we try that again?” The creator thought about it for a second and then chocolate shot from his nose, he fell of the chair and rolled on the floor laughing “It wasn’t THAT funny” -Inkshaper __________________________________________ Lights And there was light indeed. But I refused to believe it was so. My eyes were blinded by my mind “I will never leave the dark” They said. I agreed. So I continued to dwelling the dark while everyone else enjoyed the light. I heard their laughs I heard their shouts But I saw nothing. No light, for I did not believe in its existence. But I remembered. I heard their whimpers I heard their cries But I saw nothing. They were tainted by darkness. But I remembered. I sensed their anger I senced their fury But I saw nothing. I missed their laughter. Then I opened my eyes. There were shadows There was light I laughed I shouted And they remembered. I was glad, so I closed my eyes. -Inkshaper
