Knowledge and learning accumulated day by day, not to seek fun.
meg_evonne:
ahh come on. If it wasn't some fun, you wouldn't do it, right?
Hang in there, Gadzuric. Stop in again so you can begin to remove that 'lurker' handle! LOL
Check out the game section. We've a couple fun ones that I like, "corrupt a wish" "answer with a book title" and so on. Also there is a thread where you can post what you've written word count wise or whatever pertaining to your work. Please do not post your actual work, but everything else is a go! It's nice to know that your passion of writing is shared by others and that you have a place to say, "Hi, I'm out here working away."

Hi, my name's Sean. I'm rather new to the writing scene in terms of output that people actually see, but I've been writing for I guess over a decade. I tend to drift towards either science fiction or fantasy and I try not to combine them. I'm certain that writing is the way to go but it is difficult to hold onto that notion with a handful of bills so naturally I fall behind on my writing often.
I've been writing a science-fiction story recently involving themes of madness, isolation, conspiracy, and a little bit of quantum physics. I very nearly posted a story idea, but then I read the rules again. I very nearly posted a sample, but then I READ THE RULES AGAIN. I like stories about heroes who are intelligent, but not all knowing. I like Batman but not Superman. Maybe soon I'll dig up a blog if nothing else and post samples there.
Snowleopard:
If someone wants to read your stuff Sean you can always do it in PMs or private messages that way it's not out openly on the forum to maybe mess up JBs stuff.
You just ask if anyone is interested and to PM you - then go from there. I think that's okay.

Snow,
It is difficult to ask for criticism while at the same time not sounding desperate for attention. I know absolutely no one on the board so I'll try lurking and posting a bit to get to know folks before opening up with content. If interest occurs then swell but I'm not going to shove my work down people's throats. Thanks for the advice on PMs though, I appreciate it. I'd also love to read anything that anyone has even if all I have to offer is a theatrical background and a talent for spelling in terms of criticism. I can also display praise in a modestly acceptable vocabulary. So, Snow, I guess I'm asking if I may read any work you've written or if nothing else a pointed finger at someone whose work you like on the board.
