Writing is a good thing. I should continue working on.. something. xD Yes, it is. :3 Which reminds me. Yesterday they were showing some documentary about some guy, and they mentioned something about novel-writing being addicting. It amused me. (As I mentioned to my mom, it's only addicting when you're not procrastinating. ) Writing is addicting, in general. But yes, only when you actually manage to write. Which doesn't happen as often as it should, sometimes.

PFA is good. She is actually working on a fanfic (not the previously mentioned cheesy writing, of course XDDD) that she's neglected for quite a while. Le gaspeth. You're lucky. All my fanfics are cheesy writing. If it's any comfort, all MY old fanfics were incredibly cheesy, as well. XDDD; We've all gotta start somewhere, right?

Many young tales I've began have fallen prey to that foul beast, devoured as though by a jabberwock... I wish I had a vorpal sword.

So far all I've fanfic'd are Star Wars computer games. The Jedi Academy one moves too fast with short paragraphs that jump from place to place, my Knights of the Old Republic fanfic moves to slow with line after line of almost pointless dialogue, and my Republic Commando fanfic hasn't really moved at all.

XD; Though most of them end up as no more than old files that I haven't touched in years...

Probably because I don't save most of them. I've only ever finished one short story, unless you consider me and Chicken's NT collab. The short story has an M rating for gore and violence. I'm often surprised at what I have the ability to write, considering I'm squeamish and have a RL fear of sharp blades. Let's see, a few technical specs... It's also got 810 words, 16 paragraphs, 64 lines and 4 scenes, including an epilogue.

That might change, but I doubt it. *is getting distracted* ..not paying enough attention to this, so.. bye, guys.

Yeah, I have a Pokémon fanfic of sorts that exists only in my mind. I don't even know when it first began, but it had to be after I traded my Yellow Pikachu to Gold and back, because that's when I first found out it was female, and it's always been female in my "fanfic". The characters are primarily notable Pokémon I've had in my games, with the exception of Eddie, the talking Eevee.

I, however, can get squeamish when writing T-rated violence. XD; Which might be part of the reason why I'm so bad at fight scenes, really. Shade- I always save my writings.

That might change, but I doubt it. *is getting distracted* ..not paying enough attention to this, so.. bye, guys. I usually just come up with a lame title and use it. XD; Which, I might note, is why most of my titles are one/two words long. Bai Shade. ^_^

The characters are primarily notable Pokémon I've had in my games, with the exception of Eddie, the talking Eevee. I have a few stories that have never come out of my mind and into a word processor, myself. Most of them probably never will, actually, as most of them ended up turning lame in one way or another. ...For some reason I'm reminded of the Eevee (not a talking one; just a normal one) I named Lucina, which was the name I gave a certain other character I had briefly... a very, um, interesting character, if you know what I mean. >_>; Why I named my Eevee after her, I have no idea. I think I thought the name was cool.

Bai Shade. ^_^ Yeah, I can think up some really good fight scenes, but sometimes it gets a little to graphic or intense for me. XD I usually pick out a "working title" if I'm not sure what I want to call it, sometimes just the first line of the story, such as Fur of White, an incomplete short story. Often the working title will become a real title though, if I decide I like it enough, again like Fur of White, but also like Strange Powers Are At Work, an RP-styled story I've been writing recently.
