![]() Author has written 12 stories for Harvest Moon, NCIS, Karin, Cats, and Bones. Name: Call me Lali, babes Age: C L A S S I F I E D I N F O R M A T I O N Hometown: Europe, but now in the US Self-Classification: Procrastinator. Professional Slacker. Part-time Perfectionist. Dog Lover. Cat Lover. Sun Shy. Trend-challenged. Sock footed. Mushy. Chilled. Summer Despiser. Book Devourer. Believer. Pessimistic Realist. Occasional Bi-Polarity Victim. Star Gazer. Brain Farticus. Writer. Interests/Fandoms: Oh, where to begin? There's Harvest Moon, NCIS, The Mediator series, Gakuen Alice Academy, Fruits Basket, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Ouran High School Host Club, Zero no Tsukaima, Harry Potter, Nightmare Inspector, Castle, Criminal Minds, Bones, The Gates, Avatar the Last Airbender, Psych, Body of Proof, Cats (the Musical), and a lot of others... I'll add on when I come up with something. --Harvest Moon/Rune Factory Games I've Played (but not necessarily finished): -- --[More] Friends of Mineral Town -- --Harvest Moon DS [Cute] -- --Island of Happiness -- --A Tale of Two Towns -- --Magical Melody -- --Tree of Tranquility (barely) -- --Animal Parade (barely) -- --Rune Factory 1/2/3 -- --Rune Factory Frontier -- --Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny Reading: I will read for the majority of what you see above, although I've "outgrown" some and lost interest with others (yes, they are two different things). I'm willing to give almost everything a try, even if I have some sort of dislike for one thing or another. If something is suggested to me, I will give it a try, but I may not finish it if it bugs me too much. I do, however, try to finish everything otherwise. It took me eight tries to read Pride and Prejudice, and I'm glad I did it. Writing: I've found recently that most of my ideas are coming from the Harvest Moon fandom, although I'll probably stick another thing here or there. I used to favor writing longfics (although I rarely --ehemneveronthissiteEHEM- finished one), but I've lately gotten into the business of oneshots. I have one AU MFoMT longfic in the planning stages at the moment. Reviewing: I try to review almost everything I read, especially if there's something that jumps out at me--good or bad. I believe that reviews should be earnest, not just fangirly (although I've probably strayed from this once or twice or many more times, to my embarrassment), and they should aim to help the writer improve or continue to do well. Flames are good only for candles and campfires. It's unlikely that you hated everything about a piece, so share what you did enjoy. Other: CATS WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I hate school. Seriously. ON CRACK PAIRINGS (Harvest Moon only) -- maybe more coming I LIKE (when written well): --Kai x Mary --Kai x Elli --Carter x Sasha --Lillia x Zack I AM NOT A FAN OF (unless written well): --Kai x Karen --Popuri x Gray ON CANON PAIRINGS (Harvest Moon only) -- maybe more coming I LIKE (when written well): --Gray x Mary --Kai x Popuri --Ann x Cliff I AM NOT A FAN OF (unless written well): --Elli x Doctor ON MARY SUES GARY STUS "Her only flaw was her perfection." If you think about it, the above statement is an oxymoron, or perhaps a paradox. After all, if you have flaws, you can't be perfect. if you are perfect, you can't have flaws. And, of course, some people don't believe in perfection at all. By that definition, a Mary Sue or Gary Stu might be completely nonexistent. However, there are more things to consider. From what I've seen, a Mary Sue makes friends with everyone the writer likes, righteously hates everyone the writer dislikes, succeeds at almost everything, fails adorably at only a few things, is better than the best at what they're best at, and is the object of affection of all the possible boys/girls. Chances are, she'll have a tragic past. Chances are, she's a relative or friend of an existing character, as well as being exotic in some way or other. It's a writer insert, sans major flaws, with a few appealing additions. A Mary Sue is a flat character. Writers, if they care about their writing, try to make round characters. The tragic past and exotic traits are failed attempts. Sometimes, if written very well, they do succeed--but then you don't have a Mary Sue anymore. But then, there is another question. Can a Mary Sue have flaws? Oh, and another: Can a canon character become a Mary Sue? A Mary Sue is defined differently by almost all people. Chances are, the definitions will have a few things in common. The thing is, what Person A considers a Mary Sue, Person B might find as a very original, very interesting character--and vice versa. They exist, but with reservations. Just makes me curious: what sort of line would other authors draw? Personally, I'm fond of the Mary Sue Litmus Test found on springhole . net which you can find by googling the title. A group of unicorns is called a blessing. A group of frogs is called an army. A group of kangaroos is called a mob. A group of geese is called a gaggle. A group of officers is called a mess. A group of owls is called a parliament.

Repost if you totally hate stereotypes Sipping Vodka At his first mass, the priest was so nervous he could hardly speak. After, he asked the monsignor how he had done. The monsignor replied, “When I’m worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I placed a glass of vodka beside the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip.” The next Sunday, the priest took the monsignor’s advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He then proceeded to talk up a storm. Returning to his office after the mass, he found the following note taped to the door: 1 Sip the vodka, do not gulp it. 2 There are 10 commandments, not 12. 3 There are 12 disciples, not 10. 4 Jesus was consecrated, not constipated. 5 Jacob wagered his donkey. He did not bet his ass. 6 We do not refer to Jesus Christ as “the late J.C.” 7 The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior, and the Spook. 8 David slew Goliath. He did not kick the shit out of him. 9 When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, do not say he was stoned off his ass. 10 We do not refer to the cross as “the Big T.” 11 When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper, he said, “Take this and eat it, for it is my body.” He did not say, “Eat me.” 12 The Virgin Mary is not called “Mary with the Cherry.” 13 The recommended grace before a meal is not, “Rub-A-Dub-Dub, thanks for the grub, yeah God.” 14 Next Sunday, there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter’s. There will not be a Peter-pulling contest at St. Taffy’s. The origination of this letter remains unknown. YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN AUTHOR IF... You talk to yourself a lot. (e.g. Hmm, what would happen if it was sunny the day Bella got hit by the van? Oh, story idea!! Must get computer!) You talk to yourself about talking to yourself. (e.g. 'Why do I constantly ask my self random things?') When you talk to yourself you often talk to yourself like you're talking to someone else. (e.g. 'Have you ever noticed that deliver could mean someone's liver?') After uttering a profound peice of wisdom like that above, you stare at the cookie in your hand with awe and say, "Wow,this stuff is great for sugar highs...' You live off of sugar and caffine (the two greatest things ever discovered!) You'll check your e-mail every day of the week and then dissappear off the face of the earth. You're e-mails tend to be pages long and incredibly random. When replying to an e-mail, you'll never actually address the point of it. You tend to collect Bic Stics off the ground like picking pennies off the ground. No matter where you are in a room you never have to get up to find a pen/pencil and paper. The letters on your keyboard are wearing off. (once a key actually fell off!) Your friends and family think that you have carpal tunnel syndrome. People think you have A.D.D. You think it'd be cool to have A.D.D. You zone out even with other people. You constantly start talking in third person, present or past tense. You start thinking about making lists like this and start giggling for no "apparent" reason Your friends stopped looking at you funny for no apparent reason a loooooong time ago. You're profile is REALLY long. Your computer runs out of memory. You can't stop writing! Your parents take away your computer, and you almost die. Literally. And FINALLY, the one way to tell if you're a good writer: You failed English 101. Put this on your profile if you're an author! :D On the Topic of Insanity... 1.Do not introduce self as roleplaying character in public. Quotes "If at first you don't succeed, change the rules." "Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly." — Cornelia Funke (Inkheart) "If you have no voice, SCREAM; if you have no legs, RUN; if you have no hope, INVENT." -- Alegria, Cirque Du Soleil "Substitute 'damn' every time you're inclined to write 'very;' your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be." — Mark Twain "Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money." — Virginia Woolf "Being a writer is a very peculiar sort of a job: it's always you versus a blank sheet of paper (or a blank screen) and quite often the blank piece of paper wins." — Neil Gaiman "The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself." — Eleanor Roosevelt "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." — Mark Twain "Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company." — Mark Twain "Classic' - a book which people praise and don't read." — Mark Twain "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't." — Mark Twain "I make my characters suffer because I love them. Suffering gives me an excuse to do the unforgiveable, and give them a happy ending." MORE COMING | |||||||
