Please do excuse the terrible name for this thread for it is 1:20 AM and I haven't been sleeping properly.
Hello! Welcome! Bonjour! Hola! Guten Tag! You get the idea...
I aim to make this a collection of all my writing pieces, of which I am slowly expanding on. Writing hasn't always been a huge interest of mine, but once I started Sixth Form it became an increasingly more attractive thing in my mind, and now I try hard to make sure all writing I do gets put into some format or another. I've written a myriad of things, for a plethora of different reasons - reports for my coursework, reviews of movies, a large amount of fanfiction and and even larger amount of ordinary fiction. I am currently working on two different main stories: one revolves around a zombie apocalypse seen through the eyes of a woman who has been thrust into trying to survive after everything was taken from her, and another is a multi-arc story set in a fantasy land of magic (terribly cliché, I am aware). But aside from that I write numerous short stories when I struggle with ideas for my main stories, when I get ideas, or when I'm just feeling like it.
How I shall present my work to you, the reader.
Now, evidently, if I intend for this to be a collection of my work, I am going to need a way to present it to you. I did consider simply creating a new thread for each and every story but I felt as though that would only result in a complete mess and a severe amount of disorganisation. On top of that, it would mean that when a story has been untouched for a while, it would be against the rules for someone to go back and write about it on that thread. Thus I felt that a collection of stories would be significantly better, all of which are hosted on a different server. I will then have a post filled with the links to these stories, thus keeping all my stories safe in one single location.
Additionally, I will post all my works of writing the moment I have created their initial versions. This means that all stories will be in their raw format and ready for criticism the moment that they are posted. Because of this, some writing will be a lot worse than others when they are first posted. This means that I can get your criticism on them while they're still new and raw, which means I can create a better story overall using your criticism and comments. On top of that, I will also include the number of edits next to each story so that you can see how refined each story is.
What will this mean for the reader?
It will mean that all my work will be easily found and instantly accessible. As well as that, it means that a reader can post about a certain story regardless of how outdated it is. Furthermore, as they are hosted on a separate server, loading this page will be significantly faster, and all you need to do is click a link to find the story rather than go through numerous pages and posts. Thus, those with slower internet connections are saved due to not needing to wait for an entire wall of text to load, and those who are perform minimal amounts of scrolling and clicking. Everybody wins!
What do I write?
I've written a lot of stories. Some of them are child friendly, some are not. Some are filled with Pokémon and happiness, and some are filled with more mature themes and more sensitive topics. As such I will make sure to label all of my stories with an age rating or provide some method of discerning the stories. This means that readers will be able to find what they want and not accidentally stumble on something that they do not wish to read, for whatever reason. If you'd like a shot overview of what I have written about then click this little thingy here. Currently, I've stories about:
Pokémon
Magic
Psychokinesis
Love
Medieval Fantasy
Animals
Family
Rape
Murder
Crime
Violence
Hate and Discrimination
As well as different types of writing, such as:
Reviews
Reports
Analyses
Fictional Writing
Non Ficitonal Writing
Presentations
Scripts
Storyboards
Why am I going through all this trouble?
Because I think that to promote my work to a large range of people I need to produce a large range of work spanning a large range of topics. However, I can't put all my work onto this website, due to the content that some of it may include and the fact that it could be upsetting or distressing for some people. But I also take into consideration that some people enjoy reading about those kinds of things due to the large change they hold over normal stories. So as to not make anybody feel left out, while also protecting the rights that readers have, I think that the way in which I will deliver my stories to you, the readers, will allow everyone to read what they want without accidentally stumbling upon something which could be distressing or traumatic to them. If Reader X enjoyed Story X, but was upset by Story Y, I would ultimately have to take down Story Y which would upset Reader Y. However, with my method, I hope that those that do not wish to see Story Y will not run any risk of seeing it, while those who do not enjoy Story X will not be at risk of seeing it either. A minor inconvenience for me when it comes to formatting my post on here, but in all it means that all readers can be happy and safe knowing that they will only view what they want to view.
Ground Rules!
I do, of course, have some rules for those who are posting on my thread, regardless of whether or not they are posting about my stories or having some form of discussion with another reader. These are my rules, and while there's only so little I can do in terms of upholding them, if they are upheld then it will make the thread better for those who are posting. So, without further adieu:
If you are part of a discussion with somebody about anything on this thread, please include a title in your post. This will mean that somebody can easily skip over your post if they do not wish to see your discussion.
If you reference any part of my stories please put it in a spoiler tag so as to not spoil it for any other readers.
Constructive criticism isn't a must, but it is greatly appreciated. If you wish to simply post about what you think about my work, feel free, but if you provided constructive criticism it would be so much more helpful.
If you are going to argue with somebody off topic, please do so in PM's so I can keep the thread clean of anything that isn't relevant.
Of course the typical forum rules do apply here. No swearing, no insulting other members, no hating on anybody. Do so and I will see to it that you are punished appropriately.
Plot Twist!
Something I thought about, which I thought would be interesting, is the idea of me writing stories that you, the reader, specifically wants to see. If you want a story that involves magical unicorns fighting Daleks with Aang in the City of Townsville, either message me or make a post on this thread asking for it and I will do my best to get it written. I cannot promise I will do all stories, but I can promise that I will try my hardest with every request. Do not, however, request that I write something that I have already written about, as that will merely be tedious and I will ultimately reject your request.
In Summation.
Just a final word, I do hope that you enjoy all that I have to post. I will try to come out with a new story or a new chapter as soon as I can, and if there's anything specific you want, make sure I know about it. I hope to make this a positive experience for you and I, so if you provide constructive criticism then I can grow as a writer and provide better writing for you, the reader.
