i just realized we have a whole bunch of people that write stuff. and i know i always like feedback on what i do, so i was thinking maybe everyone else would too. So....maybe we could have an area or topic or whatever for people to share what they've written, even if it doesn't pertain to the game. just an idea.
-
The short story area applies to that really well, and it's not only for Precursors. We could see if it could be expanded to writing in general. I think that might be a neat idea. Might get me moving on some of the little projects I've wanted to work on. :huh:
-
I've written a few things, but nothing that has anything to do with anything on this forum. A general writing type thing would be great.
-
well...i didn't just necessarily mean stories when i said writing....poems too....you should see some of the ones Sheena's written. :blink:
-
*blushes*
-
I didn't mean only stories... I was saying that I think the short story section should be expanded.
:roll:
-

:roll:
Expanded to everything?
-
I'm assuming that's what she meant.
I don't know how my poetry would go over here though, so I probably wouldn't share too much.
Short stories no problem. But I think that if we expand that particular section we might lose focus of the actual point of the forums.
-
that's why i said a different section
-
well poetry's based on the interpretation of the bodies emotional and physical and maybe even spiritual surroundings and experience, i don't know, i think i would be interested to see more poetry around. i know sheena's an excellent writer.
well that's my opinion on poetry anyways.
-
Ah thank you Wattie haha
-
i know she's a kick-ass writer! i've read some of her stuff! i was all...Worship!
-
So did you guys both just grab a butt cheek to start kissing or something?
Haha I love you guys.
-
i said kick-ass not kiss-ass ;)
-
No, I know you didn't say kiss-ass, but you two clearly are kissing ass haha
-
I shall debate having a new writing section, and moving the RFI section to it.
-
I just noticed this topic. I'm..kind of a writer. I honestly don't think very highly of myself, but then I won't argue that most people don't think too highly of themselves. Mostly it's just episodes of a series. Like they came out in a weekly read along or something, or a novel. I'm working on both right now.
One titled The Underground Musician and the other called Four of a Kind. The first being the episodes of a series thing and the second being a novel.
-
Sweet! and Chrissylafur thanks for actually reading this topic and thinking about adding a new section! *hugs*
-
Well - it was bound to get Chris' attention. He is a writer after-all.
-
i know...i've been his editor!
-
:lol:
Well, if worse comes to worse, and he decides not to, I have made my own forum for that =\
-
does my boring writing count for this?? LMAO!!!
-
If you want to get input you probably shouldn't post here lol.
And I seriously don't think that you're a shitty writer.
-
but Sheena! no one ever really gets on your forums....we needs more peoples!
Epiphany.....Stan!
-
I'm not saying that I'm a shitty writer.
I just know that a lot of people find my stuff boring.
-
*shrug*
Some people aren't into sports.
-
I've noticed that lol.
Personally, I'm obsessed.
-
Well, I'm obsessed with music.
To each their own
-
music is probably a close second to sports for me.
That or movies.
I don't know as much as I should about either though.
-
You'll know when you are obsessed with music.
-
I am but it is limited to certain music.
-
Then you're not obsessed.
It's gotten so bad that I can't drive in the car if there's unfamiliar music in the background. I end up getting lost. I'm paying attention to little details. Decrescendos ... Crescendos, switching of time signatures. Trying to figure out what key it would be. Accidentals.
Yeah, trust me, you'll know.
-
Like i said, obsessed with what I know but don't know as much as I should.
-
Well, no one is saying that you SHOULD know as much as a music major but I'm just saying, there can't be primary and secondary obsessions. Obsession has the connotation of something that runs your entire life.
-
I am saying that I should. And the music that I do know does in a way run my life.
-
So, you are saying that you're obsessed with others music?
Because then there's really nothing to learn from that other than songs, and lyrics. Or if you play an instrument how to play their songs.
-
I'm obsessed with listening to the songs I know.
-
tell me about it! *coughs* Three Days Grace *coughs* ;)
-
see? erica knows.
six gun quota by seether.
-
Not too familiar with Seether.
My band is covering "Broken" ft Amy Lee.
-
oh...

-
If you listen to my band you'll see why not.
-
different kind of band?
my computer hasn't let me hear your band yet....
:( :( :(

I need to come to your practice's more often. It's always fun to hang with everyone :-p
-
That post was old.
I have heard them now.
I'd love to hear them live.
Any shows coming up??

Wrote this and posted it on another site recently. Feedback please?
The Tampa Rays defeated the Boston Red Sox 3-1 last night to advance to their first World Series in franchise history. Actually, this is their first playoff appearance in franchise history.
The Rays have been the bottom-of-the-division team since they first came into the league. They had never finished better than third in the division, never had a winning record, never been to the playoffs, never had any respect. They have always been a team to laugh at. A joke. No better than an MLB farm system to trade any players who show any talent. Not this year.
They Rays are going to the World Series. Their improbable AL East Championship, ALDS victory over the Chicago White Sox, and ALCS victory over the defending world champions has put them in a position to accomplish the biggest victory Tampa baseball fans have ever seen.
The Rays jumped out 3 games to 1 early in the ALCS. The Red Sox are known for coming back in the ALCS in recent years. Everyone remembers what they did in 2004, coming back from a 3-0 defecit. Last year, they were down 3-1 against the Indians, and came back to win it. Both seasons, they won the World Series. You can see why Tampa fans were worried when Boston came back to win game 5 after being down 7-1 in the 7th inning. Boston went on to tie the series and force game 7. The Rays were underdogs once again, and also once again, beat all odds and prevailed.
They will play against another season long underdog in the Philladelphia Phillies. In a year where teams with big expectations failed to deliver, a typical American can't help but love to see this. The Yankees failed to make the postseason for the first time since 1993. The Atlanta Braves were nowhere to be found this year. The Mets missed the playoffs again after a miserable collapse last season. The Detroit Tigers, who had high expectations this year, finished last in the AL Central at 74-88. The Cleveland Indians weren't much better at 81-81. The Chicago Cubs, a favorite to win the World Series for the first time in 100 years, fell short in the ALDS, with a loss to the Dodgers. The defending champion Boston Red Sox went down early to the Rays with 3 losses in the first 4 games.
So, who do you root for if neither of these is your team? Any Mets or Braves fan should root for Tampa as they will be bitter after they Phillies won the division. What about ALCS fans? The Yankees and Red Sox fans? Yankee fans should cheer for the Rays. How often can you like a division rival to win the championship? When it's an underdog like Tampa, it feels wrong to root against them? What about Boston fans though? Aren't they in the same situation? Not exactly. The Rays stopped the trademark comeback this year. Boston fans may congratulate Tampa and root for them, but knowing Boston fans, this isn't likely. They will cry about how they should have won it and cheer for the Phillies. Any other baseball fans, enjoy this year's Series, pick a lovable underdog, and watch some great baseball. Seriously, these teams both deserve it.
