Canderous and Cade's Crazy Cantina: a shiny new fanfiction social thread!

You don't want to know.

Basically, my hair is too thin to really grow all that long before breaking or just falling out (or getting yanked out by comb), so growing it isn't an option. A pity, as I fancied growing a really long plait and beard not unlike Albus Dumbledore's...

 

You can get a decent set of clippers for about $20. I have a set, and my hair's due for a quick trim.

 

It is snowing! Arrrggghhh!

 

It's actually quite nice here, just below shirtsleeves weather.

Have an X-wing:

 

It was nice in NYC today, about 65*F but now I'm on a bus on the way back to Boston (unfortunately a crowded bus... I thought the holiday weekend was over!) where apparently it was 75* today.

I read today that they think it's going to be an unusually hot summer this year, if that's the case I may have to breakdown and buy and air conditioner for my room, last year about killed me.

 

They seem to be running fine for me.

I did a little chucking, then planted a tree, uncovered a whole swarm of pill bugs, and then climbed up the side of a building just to look at a pretty moth.

 

Hello!

I'm lunarcat! I'm a n00b here, but so far I'm really liking it!

I have some fan-fiction I'm working on, 2 fan-fictions actually. I saw this was the fan-fiction social board so... should I bring them up here or do I talk about them somewhere else? (Sorry, once again, n00b in the house)

Thank you!

 

Hello there, Lunarcat! Welcome aboard!

If you're looking to simply start posting your fan fiction stories, there's a sub forum specifically for that, using the appropriate prefix tabs for the era of your story. There's also a thread here in the Resource forum where you can ask more specific questions about how to post and what kinds of fics people like to see, etc. and get more general writing tips. However, this thread is for those who frequent the Fan Fiction section to blow off steam and socialize. If you're interested in getting someone to offer an opinion on your work once it is posted, there may be some folks around who might be willing to do that.

Have fun, and enjoy the forums!

 

Rocking in the 80s already here.
Oklahoma is terrible for my pasty ginger-ness.

 

Hi! Thanks for responding!

I suppose i'll hop on over to the resource thread then! Surprisingly i'm more nervous about talking about my fanfiction than my original work. Maybe they'll have some tips on that.

Thank you once again!

 

No need to be nervous! We've all talked about our personal Cringe Eras, or at least I have. Writing is an ongoing learning process, so in the beginning, it's bound to be a bit rough and unpolished.

 

Weather was typical bipolar Victoria weather. Sun, rain, cloud, rain, sun, etc.

By the way, is it just me or is the JCF server today just crawling at a mile an hour?

 

This site is going Soooooooo Slow! I don't know what's the problem.

 

It croaked completely just a bit ago, but now it seems to be okay.

For now.

 

TrakNar, ah that's good. I'm just always worried that I'm going to put my fanfiction out and get some (nice!) con crit and then immediately go.

'I must change ALL THE THINGS!'

But that's probably just my late night brain over reacting. I mean, it's not like if I don't change some stuff the commentators will come and bash my head in right?

... right?

 

It's been going in fits and starts for me all day. At one point the server simply wouldn't connect.

 

Eh, I've been asked to change things or why I had a story end the way it did despite the buildup and why I won't change it, and I just say because I wrote it how I want it. Why should I change it? In the case of one story, I wrote myself into a corner and needed to find a way out, so the ending fell a bit flat. I could change it, but I'd need to make alterations early on in the story, and I just don't want to.

So, if anyone asks you to either change something or why you won't change something, a handy excuse I use is "I'm too lazy/I don't feel like it."

 

Heh, that... make me feel a bunch better! Thanks!

Welp, I think I'll be heading off to bed soon, (Or maybe play some video games first) But thanks for welcoming me into this cool community! And thanks for giving me some self-esteem for my writing!

 

I'm considering doing the exact same thing as I eye my 3DS. XD

 

Welcome to Fanfic Lunarcat! People are generally really nice here, so don't worry about posting your stories.

I AM FREEE!!! Just finished my last exam! Now I have like 2 weeks before the May semester starts. UGH.

 

My knuckle just randomly ballooned to twice its normal size.

Yes, it was my previously injured one.

 

You may want to get that checked out.

I have to do my taxes tomorrow. UGH.

 

Lunarcat: You could also simply ask the person for their reasoning regarding requesting/suggesting a change. If it makes sense and you're cool with it, do it. Otherwise, it's your piece write what your heart says while maintaining cordiality with those that may disagree with some choices. Seeking or receiving input doesn't have to equal taking it.

 

Maybe a good idea.

I did my taxes within weeks of getting my T4, the sooner you get it all done the sooner you get your refund, after all
