Would anybody mind giving oponions- so far?

^_^ If you wouldn't mind would you tell me your opinions on this article so far? Like if it's been done before?

We don't need any categories
By, Random
Its never really occurred to me that people of the Neopian Times could be put into categories. I don’t mean the standard categories they’ve got to be put in, like in the ‘short story’ section or ‘article’ section, but what they do after their first story is published.

Well, I'm interested to hear the rest...

[Random]

Ya'know, I've seriously got to consider making an account here. ^^; Seemed to have spelt 'opinion' wrong.

A little bit more added

I don’t mean the standard classifications they’ve got to be put in, like in the ‘short story’ section or ‘article’ section, but what they do after their first writing piece or comic is published. Some people just go on their merry way, thinking that one trophy was a feat in its self, which it truly is. While on the other hand, some people tend to not stop writing. They persevere, trying to get another story/article/comic accepted thinking if they‘ve gotten in once they can get in many other times, like some of the writers who have numerous Neopian Times trophies in their cabinet.

Use your Neopets one--or Random! You're allowed to change the appearance of your name whenever, so you can always have an identity crisis. We don't bite--

In Need Of A Category

It’s never really occurred to me that people of the Neopian Times could be put into categories. I don’t mean the standard classifications they’ve got to be put in, like in the ‘short story’ section or ‘article’ section, but what they do after their first writing piece or comic is published.

Beyond your stereotypical categories there are many more, the common ones and the rare ones, which will all be explored.

Common

A. The ‘one story’ author

The one story author has to be the most-popular category. It seems as though they have an early success but fail to repeat it. Or, they wouldn’t continue writing in uncertainties of not being accepted. Though people do not often give notice to the one-timers their triumph will life in infamy on the forever turning pages of the Neopian Times.

Anything I should add so far? ^_^

[sollunaestrella]

Hmm...don't think so...it's really interesting so far!

A. The ‘one story’ author

The one story author has to be the most-popular category. It seems as though they have an early success but fail to repeat it. Or, they wouldn’t continue writing in uncertainties of not being accepted. Though people do not often give notice to the one-timers their triumph will life in infamy on the forever turning pages of the Neopian Times.

Is there a cure doctor?: No. Sadly, there is no cure for saving the
‘one story’ author. And don’t try changing their minds, even if you love the way they write and know they could get in the Neopian Times again, or if your intentions are good. If they like their one trophy then let them keep it. If you try to make them write again then you might distract them from excelling at another thing.
Verdict: Very-Common

B. The Occasional Writer

The occasional writer has the ability to write, and has gotten more then one story inside the Neopian Times, but they don’t. The occasional writer waits until inspiration hits and they start to write, much not like the ‘persevering author’ which brings me to my next topic.
Is there a cure, Doctor?: I didn’t plan to be a broken record here, but no there is not. The occasional writer writes when he or she wants to. Don’t force them to write, it may take them longer then other people to think of/write down Ideas. It’s not like they can write whenever they choose to, just maybe give hints and or help them out with ideas.
Verdict: Not as common.


C. Persevering Author

The persevering author has to different sides to it. One side is that the person doesn’t wait for their muse to hit and just writes continuously on a subject they barely make inquiries. While the other side is that the person does research and sends in many stories, and they all get accepted.

Is there a cure, doctor?: Mark this down in history, there is a cure for this. Comfort the person you know has this ‘problem’ and tell them maybe to slow down a bit. You know how the saying goes, right? Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Verdict: Undetermined

D. The start-one leave another

I guess this category doesn’t fit precisely under the ‘Neopian Times’ but it happens often. This is when, after they’ve been accepted, try getting another story to match up with it. They start millions of stories thinking each one is the finest, then after a while they get fed up with writing and all of their carefully planned beginnings all get deleted and left alone in the ‘has-been’ pile, never being send in for further examination.
Is there a cure, doctor?: Yet again, like the ‘persevering author’ there is in fact a cure. Tell the person to calm down a bit and pick one subject within Neopian, which they know most about. Then slowly they will start writing from that, if they have any more ideas their dying to write about tell them to write it all down. After they finish the one writing piece/comic then they can start on the other.
Verdict: Rare

Would anybody happen to know anymore?
