Kaymyth she/her Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Scene from 5 minutes ago: Me: *shivering in the 70-degree house* James (le husband): "Do you need to put a coat on?" Me: "...maybe." James: "Well, you gotta do what you gotta do." Me (in an attempt to prove that I'm not hyperbolizing): "My hands are cold!" *Touches them to his warm, warm neck.* James: *looks at me* Me: *removes hands* James (grinning): "My hands are wet!" And he proceeds to gleefully chase me out of the kitchen. 13
Zathoth Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 I approve of your husbanding choice. Go James, get revenge! 4
Mashadar Mistborn he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Darths and Droids is amazing. It is. Words of the not-really-wise-but-kind-of-experienced, don't go through all of the links in number fifty of "the comic irregulars still exist in this world and are making a screen cap comic of..." There are so many.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Well, now I'm taking my laptop into the Apple Store tomorrow for sure. Just hoping it's not unsalvageable. 1

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Ugh. I'm sorry. Good luck getting it fixed. Thanks. It's just 2015 giving me the finger on the way out again. 2
The Honor Spren she/her Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Wow. You never realize Just how bad you are at writing, till you put pen to paper. Garbage, all of it.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Wow. You never realize Just how bad you are at writing, till you put pen to paper. Garbage, all of it. With most of the stuff I write, I think it's awful until other people tell me otherwise. I'm sure your writing isn't as bad as you think. 1
Zathoth Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 I think most most of my writing is ok at first, then I post it and realize all the flaws. 1
Citadel16 he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I have all your problems. I dont think im a good writer till I'm writing, I think my stuff is good until someone asks to read it, and then I tell them whats wrong with it after they tell me how awesomely stupendous it was. 3

Zathoth Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Whiiiiiich is now making me realize ACH CRIVENS I FORGOT TO POST RESPONSES TO PEOPLE WHO REPLIED TO MY WEIRD STORY I was wondering when you were going to get to that XD I really need to start writing something again... probably something with dialogue, I need to practice that... and I really want Midnight Marinara to make a radio play out of one of my stories, because that would be awesome.

It's up now. Sorry for the delay. I've always found dialogue fun to write, and it comes pretty easily if my characters work. It's descriptions and all that that kill me. 1

It's descriptions and all that that kill me. I have never been very good at characters, I think it comes from not really liking people, I mean the weirdness and the horror is the main course anyway, but I wish I could do it with some characters and dialogue XD I think another part is that I usually only have the main character, usually just a self insert talking about something weird that happened to him and thats that... I need to write something with more than one main character, then they can talk to each other... 1

Zathoth Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Whereas I spend way too much time on developing characters and not nearly enough on plot and stuffs. Well, the time I dont spend thinking about how to horrify others and give people new phobias of mundane things I spend thinking about super powers and magic systems XD 1
Young Bard he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 If it makes you feel better, I'm not a fan of the D&D alignments either. I personally don't think they're accurately to anything in real life either. I don't mind it being used a light topic-starter, though. It's not meant to be a deep and meaningful question. I have a new Star Wars prequels head canon. To clarify: no force awakens spoilers or discussion included whatsoever. That's... incredibly enlightening. I certainly can see what they're talking about. Darths and Droids is amazing. Where are you up to? I did one great big binge-read of it, and probably will again now. DM of the Rings is good, too. (that's what inspired it). Is Darths and Droids finished, or ongoing? I lose track.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Whereas I spend way too much time on developing characters and not nearly enough on plot and stuffs. Me too, it's hard to actually write cause I don't know where the storms these people are going to go. 1
Zathoth Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 I dont know where my stories are going to go, I dont even know how they are going to end until I am half way. I'd say take some characters, put them together, make something go wrong and there you have a plot. At least I think that is going to work, I have never actually tried it... 1
Young Bard he/him Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Sydney's just had it's fireworks (which were pretty spectacular). I am now in 2016. Doesn't seem too different from before (except for maybe a slight dose of fatigue). Wishing you a happy new year. 2
Delightful Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 The world can't end today....it's already next year in Australia. 2

I'm a ways through Phantom Menace, right after Yoda and Anakin have their argument over whether fear is good or bad. 1
