"I used nuglicker lately" is not a sentence you want to read aloud. DAMHIKT.


Haha, yeah that happens when I'm too lazy to type things out. To say it correctly:

I have let Ohgren use the made-up term "nuglicker" as an insult in the FF that I'm writing on. Better? :P


That wasn't my point. "I used nuglicker lately" is not a sentence you want to read aloud when there are other people within earshot.

Wow :blink:

I justly got a PM at FF.net where someone is telling me that they enjoyed the Mahariel-story I write -so far, so normal. He/she also told me that she had read the ranting that I did at my profile page about Mahariel stories where the author makes them too human, so that isn't noticable that the main char is actually Dalish. (One of my biggest FF-pet-peeve aside Alistair/Morrigan-shipping FF's *barf* )

Anyway the person who had PM'ed me told me that s/he noticed afterwards that her/his Dalish elf is written too much like a human too and is currently rewriting her MC because of that.

People are reading my FF.net profile page. I'm shocked. Though more shocked me the fact that it made people to rethink stuff. Wow.  :blink:


Just out of curiosity I read through your profile page...

And I laughed quite a bit. You definitely have snarkiness down! :wizard:

Has FF.net always had profile options? I can't figure out why I didn't put anything in mine when I registered forever and ever ago.

Well, I got my account in 2004 when I was in eighth grade and some of the quotes on there are from people I knew that year so I'm pretty sure they had profiles in 2004 but the site started in 1998 so who knows if they started with profiles or introduced them at some point in the sixth years between when it started and when I started.

If we're old in our heads then things really go downwards fast. We should feel young in our mind at least. Or try too. Or .. have a sparkle of hope that we are? *smiles*

If we're all young in our heads does that mean its ok to throw tantrums in restraunts with poor service and throw food at the waiters?

That has nothing to do with age, but with maturity ;)

On Friday drinking time just means "is it after lunch?"
Shoot, even if you're a stick in the mud and want to wait for dusk, well, where I live that's at like 4 PM in the winter! :)

I just got the most confusing review... well, ever.

I'm in a quandary, at times I really dislike this story and then for the most part I love it. Maggie is soooo different, brash, carefree and wild with an innocence that takes you completely by surprise and makes you want to hug her to death and protect her from herself. At other times I could quite cheerfully allow her to be hacked to pieces lol.

The rest was glowing so I'm kind of... not sure how to respond (especially the 'at times I really dislike' bit since she reviews almost every chapter of all my stuff...).
Thank you? I'm sorry? You're not supposed to like her all the time? An assurance that Maggie eventually develops a clue?

I think that's a great review... because the person seems to be saying that they don't like Maggie and the story from a rational viewpoint but also that they can't help liking it...  That your writing can induce such emotional confusion in a person capable of expressing it so well (and therefore obviously quite bright), is kudos to the nth degree...

How do you know when you are getting too much into writing your fanfiction story?



My answer:

1. You dream and imagine what your PC is doing the whole day long.

2. You make multiple journals for them based on different aspects of their lives and in different times of their lives.

3. When you want to feel romantic you replay in game cutscenes.

4. You restart their playthrough from the beginning because you didn't do a face morph to start with so at 106 hours into game your file is too big to add a morph and you will have to go back 50 hours anyways, so why not start all over again.

5. You make multiple youtube videos with music to express your feelings, so that you can replay them for yourself to get in the mood to write!





LOL, just my sickness. But hilarious. I can't help but laugh at myself.

I am not so gifted IT wise as you Dre, but I still dream numerous times FF scenes and I think the ones I have dreamt are considerably better than the remainder...

That's the best part about being creative, being able to imagine or dream your story. Do you often find it hard to get it right on paper after it came so beautifully together in your mind. It frusterates me when it happens to me.

I wouldn't label myself as gifted in anything. I consider myself determined to do the best I can with the tools I've been given or have obtained. :) I learn something new everyday actually I usually learn more than one thing a day, unless it's a slow week when I can't manage to turn off the anime. LOL

You know you've been writing it too much when you write a prompt about a jealous Zevran, he refuses the one night stand with Leliana because I've already told him he ends up with my Moira Surana.

Not really because I tend to dream images and feelings with snatches of dialogue.  I seem to be able to accept that I am simply rendering them into another medium when I write it down.

By the way, totally sold on Scrivener now. Loving it with a special love.


Oh yay! This is awesome! It won't be to everyone's taste I'm sure, but it suits the way my jumbled brain works perfectly. Glad you like it too :)

Question to you all. Did you ever get the argument between two guards when first entering Orzammar? I only ever got the Harrowmont/Bhelen face-off but the toolset had an extra dialog tree, which has two guards arguing instead. I assume that was not implemented?
