![]() Author has written 1 story for Fullmetal Alchemist. Hey anyone who is taking the time to read this. I go by "DarkNightNess", and that is probably what I will answer to. Where I came up with that name,however, I have no idea. I have written other fan-fics, but I never thought that any were good enough to post. But as I was writing the first story, along with my first one-shot, I thought that it was really good and worthy enough to be posted at fanfiction.net. So yeah a few about me's: ~I love to write. Yeah, even though that's kind of obvious, I thought I would say it anyway. I write more than just fan-focs, I also write just normal fiction stuff and then I write other stories that are based off of dreams I had. So yeah, I usually never run out of a basic idea to write off of. ~I play soccer. Yeah, on a team and everything lol. I really do love playing, even though I hate the running. That's because our coach is stupid. But most athlete's have something important key concept to a sport that they dislike. ~I am very into my work. So if I take a while to post, that's because school stuff comes first, soccer comes second, then posting on here comes third, maybe fourth. I don't know. ~I love the color blue XD ~I am almost always listening to music. I hate when I have to go without it. Not only has it helped me though a few icky parts of life, but it's always there for me. Okay, that sounded a little creepy, but oh well. With music comes singing, which I also like to do. I'm not that great, but I think I am pretty good. I also can play the flute and a teeny bit of the piano. And I'm learning trumpet too, but I'm not getting that far. ~I am one of the few people I know who admit to mistakes. Most of my friends are real quick to lie about someone else to get the heat off of them. I admit that I'm wrong (as hard as I find it with my ego) and I'll take the heat for something I did. ~I've given up on trying to figure out the point behind gossip. I mean, why would people want to hurt other's as badly as they do by gossiping? I have no idea. ~At some times I can become very analytical when trying to figure out something. Then I realized that by not thinking deeply, I can get what other's are saying, mainly people I'm around for most of the day. Sad. ~I can be highly sar.cas.tic. ~I honesty don't mind constructive criticisms. I think at times that it can hit my ego, but that's my fault. I know that I hate proofreading my writing cause I read over it so often as I type, so when ppl tell me that I have errors or misspellings or stuff like that, I don't mind. I may feel a little -humph- over it, but I honesty like knowing what I did wrong. Its just another proof that we are not perfect. In-Depth About My Writing I've noticed that my writing can take mood swings, mainly when I have one. (;D) Usually I try to ease into different moods in my stories, but if I'm perky, I don't wanna write some depressing, angsty, kill-em-all type of story. Then again, if I'm in a bad mood, I don't wanna write a sunshine and daisies and puppy-dog type of story. And that's the reason why most of my stories take for.ev.er. for me to write. One thing I don't like while reading, is people's stories who have a comma fetish or people that can't spell comma because they don't know what it is. I'll admit that I make comma mistakes and I think that most will, but there is a huge difference in reading, "Lets eat, dad," and reading, "Lets eat dad,". The first statement leads me to believe that someone is eating with dad, and the second statement leads me to believe that someone is a cannibal and eating their dad. Eww. I feel that each person, even if the story isn't "A+" material, captures something that no one else can. Whether it is a change in moods, a change in character personality, a angsty story, a happy-go-lucky story, or just a conversation; each writer has his or her own style which is different from anyone else's. One last writing thing I don't really like to read. I'll show two examples; both created on the spot. ;D Example A: "Hey Dawson. What's up?" Jake asked, raising his voice above the background noise of the hallway. "Nothing much," "How are you keeping up with your classes?" "Okay I guess. I don't like that many of my teachers, but I will live. You?" "I love school!" The boys walked down the hallway still talking about school and such. Example B: Example A is extremely hard to read. Not only is it hard to follow who is saying what, there isn't much to go by. The only thing we know is that they are in a noisy hallway. For all we know, there could be aliens climbing through the windows and that's what is causing all the noise. In Example B, it is easy to follow who is saying what, and you get a better view of the surroundings. Like we know that they are in Riza's apartment. We also know that their is a chair nearby. Roy has a studdering problem (lol I made that up). Riza was having guests soon. And finally, our little Roy loves Riza. Maybe the last one is a given, but still, if you didn't know the background info, you would still get that. So to get back on topic, I don't like poorly written conversations. Or better said, hard-to-read ones.
