You should support spooning. It's exclusive to humans. 

 

Qunari can't lay like that with their horns. And dwarves... well... whatever.

Hornless Qunari exist and you forgot Elves.

You're avatar has red hair, doesn't it? I would have assumed you liked it well enough before that.

What genres do you like to write, LadyArtifice?

 

 

*Yes, I called you that. No Ulfric for now.

 

Lol. Why thank you. 

 

Since I was eleven, my writing icons have been Tolkien, Lewis, Madeleine L'Engle, and George MacDonald (I was raised in a pretty conservative cultural climate so I was educated on Christian authors). I mostly write young adult fantasy and I definitely still aspire to something like their style of story crafting. My tastes have broadened, but nostalgia is powerful. 

 

Contrariwise, I love the horror genre. I went through a Lovecraft obsession phase, and Stephen King is an enduring idol of mine. 

 

Sometimes when teachers reads my horror stories, they say it reminds them of The Twilight Zone, which thrills me to no end because my obsession with Rod Serling and the show can't really be overstated.   I own every season on DVD, and I have a Twilight Zone t-shirt and a Twilight Zone bracelet. I love The Twilight Zone. Lol.

 

I could probably list influences for days, but I can only sum it up with: mostly fantasy/sci-fi with a lot of horror and mystery elements. 

[Master Warder Z_]

I actually based a short story I wrote on thematic elements from Zahn's writings.

You want to know a trick I picked up in Iraq? Stretch before bed.

Loosen the body and defocus the mind.

[Lady Artifice]

Awesome.

 

I've said this before, but Rod Serling was a poet...... Not just the stories.. but his words.

 

I wish the best of luck.

 

Aw, thank you. 

 

And I know what you mean. He's my hero. He said things that people of his era would have been terrified of, what--by their normal standards--they should have been terrified of, but he said them with such style and candor that people loved it instead. 

 

He also flawless summed up what the craft feels like to me, personally:

 

"Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines within the hidden auditorium of his skull." 

 

lol. That's exactly the right image.   

[Master Warder Z_]

I personally mediate before bed, but stretching has similar results.

It focuses the breathing, allows focus of the environment to simply slip away.

It also has the added benefit of allowing you center yourself, let the pain and fatigue simply become inconsequential background noise.

I thought people would take more issue with her purple lipstick than the tattoo, tbh. Once I noticed the tattoo, my first thoughts were "oh, well that's actually nice on her. I'm glad that's there." When I first began to play and saw her lipstick, I thought "ah ****, I'm not sure about this." The color has grown on me since.

  The lipstick is a bit ick at first tbh. 

Omg, love you...

U were in Iraq? That sucks..i knew good soldiers who died there.

[Master Warder Z_]

U were in Iraq? That sucks..i knew good soldiers who died there.

There is much we could discuss about it.

But yes; people died there, some of them I knew quite well.

A few were in rotation with me since basic.

[Master Warder Z_]

Thanks for the advice, Z. You're right. I used to train more of that actually. I forgot how good it was to stretch...

Martial arts?

[Master Warder Z_]

Yes, before and after class. Stretching and tai chi breathing exercises. I felt like a happy pile of jello afterwards.

I wouldn't call myself a martial artist but I know a few stances and forms.

It all comes back to were I learned a lot of my skills, the army.

I'm competent in CQB hth and LDS but that's more about stance, grappling and holds then strikes.

It's effectively a reactionary style of battle.

Make the opponent expose themselves, grow off balance and then exploit it with decisive action.

Not much good for sparring though.
