The Roaring 'Tweens: Writer's Club for Ages 18-30 -- New Discussion! What motivates you as a writer?

Finally. Somewhere I can hang around in now that I can't go to the Teen Writer's Club anymore.

How old are you? Come on we're young enough here that we shouldn't be embarrassed about our ages
20

What was your first experience with Star Wars
Watching Return of the Jedi on TV when I was about 4 years old.

Why do you like to write?
I guess I just have a gift

Who's your favorite character to write and why?
Hmmm, I'm a stickler for original characters really.

 

aloha! My name is mickey, I'm 19 and I am addicted to stuff, I guess writing ... didn't really read any of the other posts, so not sure if there is some introduction protocol ... but whatever, I'm hardcore

 

I just got my OT box set.

All I can say is WOW! I'm inspired to write.

 

Yoooohooo! Where is everyone?

 

Here's to being a late comer... and definitely avoiding non-creative writing to do this.

How old are you?

I'll be 21 in December... and Darth_Tim has my birthday! He's only the second person I've ever met that that's the case. Proud junior at IU, so I can't help but smile at the college anecdotes.

What was your first experience with Star Wars

I discovered Star Wars when ANH came out in its special edition debut. My bro dragged me to it. I thought it would be terrible because I had gone with him to a Star Trek movie and actually fell asleep in the theater! Fortunately, I was wrong.

Why do you like to write?

Why do you do anything you enjoy? I've always written, keeping a journal for as long as I can remember, and Star Wars seems really unique to me that you can take almost any idea and run with it in the GFFA. There's room to move with the canon characters and to wedge in your favorite OCs.

Who's your favorite character to write and why?

It's a toss up. I am a huge fan of both QGJ and OWK. I like Qui-Gon because it seems like he's the most human of the Jedi. Who else has ever had a padawan leave? Of course, I have my own take on him and what that did to him and his relationship with OWK, which I'll spare all of you from. I also like OWK because he seems like the only character who really goes through all of the "growing up" archetypes. He's the only character you really seem to know from his first day to his last.

 

Hmm, where IS everyone?

 

welcome musical Jedi! Great to have you on board!

Good Question Ish. I asked that same thing and nobody replied

 

Guess I frightened everyone away...

I will be 24 the 24th of this month.

What was your first experience with Star Wars

Like someone else said when I was 4 I went to the theater for the very first time in my life to see ROTJ.

Why do you like to write?

Because it is fun, I find it very relaxing and a good way to escape everyday pressure.

Who's your favorite character to write and why?

Palpatine, he is such a great charecter. I love politics and love writing his politiacal side. One of the reasons I am writing a trilogy about him. {Cheap Plug}

What is the hardest thing to write?

Action! More precise, Space battles.

 

Here's a question: Do you write any specific genre when writing fiction?

I've got a whole saga of movie-style fiction, but i wrote a humour AU fic recently and it's in my bio

 

Oh, no, I spread out. Single-file to hide my numbers...

 

Hehe, most, uh actually more likely all of my fics have romance as the main point somewhere. I try to put action or other things in there but mostly romance is the main focus. Which is very funny cause I've never had a boyfriend or went out on a date in my life.

 

My favorite kind is action/intrigue, although all of my stories seem to have some kind of emotional demension between the characters, whether as friends or enemies, etc., though not normally plain, bold-faced romantic.

 

I write so much mush, and a bit of angst, but I'm dying to branch out. I just need time to work on my longer fics.

 

Hi all!

Ummm....lets see....

How old are you?:

I am 18 years old (I just squeeked in ) I am currently a freshman at *The Ohio State Univeristy*. I have been a part of this forum for a long time (well... a few years anyway...)

What was your first experience with Star Wars?

Ummm, I actually saw the Ewok movies before I saw Star Wars when I was a little kid, which is kind of funny, actually. I had seen Star Wars a few times, but wasn't that in to it until the Phantom Menace came out and then I began to take more interest in them and went out and got the movies and watched them over again.
Before that, I had been kind of stad-offish about Star Wars, since my sister was a Trekkie and had somewhat of a fued with Star Wars fans .


Why do you like to write?
I haven't wrote that much, really. I was more into Round-Robins and Role-Play more than writing a flat out story. But, I would enjoy writing (if I had the time) and reading crossovers and time-travel b/w the OC and PT.

Who's your favorite character to write and why?
I'm not sure about this really....
Maybe Palpatine, since he's so evil and I like writing what goes through the head of an evil psychopath.

 

Writing about Palpatine is fun, Vader is better though.

In one of my stories they play dejarik and Vader always wins

 

*looks at The Ohio State University*



Man, you guys are going to massacre IU in a couple weeks...

Though it's good to see someone else from the Big Ten, Owe-me-one Perogi.

 

I should hope we crush them after that TERRIBLE Northwestern game, that game was just depressing.

 

Omg, I remember you, Owe_me_one_perogi.

 

yeah I remember you too..

 

Gosh, now I feel old.

 

I think that the IU/Michigan game last week might beat all though... It's hard to play football when it's 17 on 11... Stupid refs and their stupid reviewing...

 

I just hope BYU beats its opponent next week at Homecoming. Last year's defeat was the worst in 40 years. We were so depressed that we got engaged after the game.

 

That's terrible, Ishtar! I'd hate to see what happens when you win.

Congrats on the engagement, albeit a year late!

 

LOL. I haven't seen us win...ever. They won last week, in Idaho.
