I figured people would get a kick out of this. How to write badly well (for some value thereof).

Will hopefully post something about real life tomorrow.

Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, hooray for mages!

This was that "ohmygod I should be productive instead I shall write a poem" poem from maybe a month ago. I just wanted to get it out of my head, as a sort of catharsis; it's not a good poem, by which I mean it's probably far too enigmatically personal and has little literary value to a total stranger reading it. I debated whether to post it after all, but curiosity won out... I'd like to know what you guys think of it regardless. (Attention whore, awaaaaaay~)

The title is meant to be a suffix (or rather, more accurately, a root word with multiple unstated prefixes) as well as a standalone word, hence the dash.

Here we go.

Forgive me for any inaccuracies regarding military stuffs. I've done some basic research, but it definitely needs work. Actually, all of this shit needs work. Oh, well.

Also, I don't drink, and yet somehow all my characters wind up going to bars. Sublimation?

This is the reason I've been hiding in my room so much. >.>

I've been absent from Collegesagas for a while, despite the fact that I've been writing quite a lot. My confidence in my writing isn't great. This is the first time in forever I've gotten up the nerve to post. I plan to post up until the end of Part I, which consists of a prologue and four chapters. I might post more, but seeing as school is starting in a few days, only if the demand for it is extremely high. This I honestly don't expect.

The prologue...I apologize in advance for the prologue. If it makes sense to you, you're either psychic or insane. It makes sense to me, but if it didn't, there'd be problems.

Choose your fate.



( What the hell is this, anyway?Collapse )




( PrologueCollapse )



Comments and constructive criticism are appreciated, but since some of these chapters are rather long, I understand if you don't have the time. I'd appreciate it if you simply left a comment saying "I read it" or something like that. Muchos gracias.

So this is the first thing I've posted since February. It's a few snippets from a story called "Clarity: Twenty-five Moments." There's more, but I'm keeping this brief. The story itself is currently on hiatus because I'm too afraid to keep going.

A bit of history: I wanted to write a brief autobiographical work detailing the 25 clearest moments of my life. Then I realized my life is boring so I just made some shit up.

Well, most of it.

So I decided to post more after all. I guess you could call me an exscribitionist. (It's a pun. Get it? Get it? Aw, hell.)

Once again, all new stuff except for some description. I've decided to give Flint's character a penchant for photography as well as the other art stuff. Too bad I can't embed photos.

A bit of explanation before I begin:

I wrote a college story called Halcyon, O Halcyon about a year ago. I made it about 60,000 words before deciding I'd had enough of it. For those of you who've read it, the excerpt contains the same characters and locations, but with a radically different style and plot. Everything here is new with the exception of a bit of description. I don't know how far this will go or whether I will post more of it.

As a final note, the character of Kevin has no relation to G-Tron's Kevin. :)

(Also, plz, plz, plz comment.)

( Anyway, enjoy.Collapse )

A challenge! Because I'd been sitting on this idea for half a semester (and then forgot about it) and still can't figure out what to do with it.

Write something titled "Anecdata".

(Anecdata: a response to the common online complaint that "a lot of anecdotes != data". So someone who has an anecdote to contribute to the thread might preface it with the label "anecdata, or someone else after it might label it as such.)

Ok, this is a little bit stale, but I stumbled upon this from fanficrants and ran over to this comm to compare with my writing in the latest challenge...

How To Write Sex Scenes (with characterization and everything! Less (or actually not at all) about the physical descriptions, more about how to advance the story and still keep it steamy. Or vice versa.)
