Velo! :D I was hoping you'd sign up~! ^^

You guys talking about planning and such reminded me of a lecture I watched one time, and it talked about two categories of writers: NaNoWriMo calls them "pantsers" and "planners" (if I remember correctly), and this guy called them gardeners and architects. Pantsers/Gardeners don't plan out to much and just let the story go wherever it wants to, while Planners/Architects thoroughly plan out EVERYTHING. (The guy talking about this in the lecture though noted that it's more of a continuum than two distinct groups)

Er, but sorry, didn't mean to sound like a know-it-all there ^^' Just thought it was interest :D Anyway~

@Caite-chan: Loving Hope really sounds interesting :o If it's about wrestling, could it be considered original fiction? (or do you use real people as characters?) I've thought about reading it, though the mature warning on it kinda gave me pause. Why did you give it thhat rating? Also, there's actually quite a bit more you can do with Pokemon fan-fiction than the typical cut and paste Trainer adventure. Like TotS said, you can always do it from a Pokemon's perspective (Suicune's Fire's Through a Flareon's Eyes is a reeeeeaaaallly good example of this!)

@TotS: Mass Effect! I don't know anything about it, but that sounds srsly cool! Is Sci-fi the genre you like writing in? ^^

@Sabi: You know, Megaman's probably one of those games I really should look into xD The new SSB game has really piqued my interest ^^ That's interesting with the visual thing :o I wish I had the artistic ability to make a visual of my characters--the most I can do is make a map xD (and that's a must for my stories xDDD)

Velo was telling me about of her stories, and they sound amazing! :D

Yes, SF's fan fiction is definitely a brilliant example of a story from the Pokemon's perspective. Explore the emotions and interactions between the Pokemon. :D

Ah, Mass Effect has pretty extensive lore, so that is understandable. I definitely recommend the first game if you ever get the chance (it is pretty cheap nowadays). Yeah, sci-fi is my favorite genre to write in. Thank you! :D

I imagine it must be like trying to jump into the Kingdom Hearts lore. Except with less Disney. And stuff. Anyway, cool! ^^ I've wanted to try some sci-fi, but I've been writing fantasy for two long I'm having a hard time balancing the two xD Like, I reaaaaallly want to write a post-apopcalyptic book but somehow it started incorporating magic and "light vs dark" wierdness. Hahaha, it's not going anywhere xD

Well I can't claim the wrestlers as my own (Like Petey...lol) as they are real people. But Molly is my own character and Ajay is a friend of mines character. And we both own Jack and any other kids. The reason I gave it the warning was for one the cussing in it and there may possibly be some nakie fun later on if you know what I mean...LOL. Nothing hardcore graphic though promise. Anything fun in the bedroom will be done in a good manner and have a warning at the top of the page.
