    The entire Livestream site appearas to have crashed. Maybe there was a sudden massive influx of people or something or they were updating. Either way we'll be back soon.

    I started writing when i was really young. I remember vivdly my brother and I would write stories together (lolnerdz), and particularly on one holiday to blgium we wrote a fair few which I won't post here because they're embarrassing.

    I always really enjoyed writing stories for class, but because my writing is really small and I take a while to come up with ideas my teachers were a bit like "you need to write more B|", and at one point I actually got into trouble because I hadn't written enough and was told to write it out again. It turned out that the teacher wasn't satisfied with my writing being as small as it was that day which irked me.

    After moving to high school when I was 13 (Scottish system lol) I started writing a little more. Unfortunately, creative writing (as in making up your own characters etc) wasn't really encouraged at school, we focused more on Personal and Reflective writing about taking lessons from life and stuff which I used to improve my craft with description and stuff ...

    Last year I moved to a different scool where they allowed us more free reign to do in our writing. I did a few pieces there which I really enjoyed because I was able to actually create instread of rehash old past memories and extract some sort of tortured metaphor from them.

    Of course more recently I've been working on fanfics and other short stories since I've had the time, but I definately think I have a lot of room to improve.

    On the subject of motivation ... heh ... I don't have a lot of that. Sometimes I get struck by lightning and suddenly I can do a whole thing in a day to two ... but other times I have a block with stuff, I have that with a lot of things. I've been told it's just about writing a little every day and you get used to it but I just often feel really blocked about writing, as anyone who reads my fic would tell you it's kinda inconsistent qith updating (hoping to remedy that ...).

    So yeah, that's my story :). I'm gonna read through these all tomorrow and maybe get some discussion going.

    I think increasingly, I've been seeing this divide as has been said above - and I think I can put it down to this:

    Sony and Microsoft use their systems to sell their games.
    Nintendo uses its games to sell its systems.

    Nintendo can make any kinda of system they want and as long as they put a Zelda/Mario/Sonic/Metroid/etc game on it people will buy it.
    On the other hand, because Sony and Microsoft don't really have these big, old, fanboy-filled franchises (well, until recently, and I think certainly with Sony and their All Stars battle game is an indication that they're starting to acrue a group of franchises like this), that they push the hardware in an attempt to draw in developers to make games for them.

    So I can see why they can seen to be a seperate generation because they have totally different design and marketing philosophies.

    More likely than not she won't be back ... I think she wants to leave this place behind for good.

    I personally think they'll wait until they see how the FFX re-master goes and THEN might do a KH one.

    Lemon typically applies to fics of a more sexual nature, often involving smut of some description.

    I couldn't tell you the difference between a lemon and a lime though ...

    EDIT: after some term searching on TV tropes and other such places: Lemon typically refers to what I said above. Lime typically refers to softer and typically don't involve actual sex.

    It generally depends for me. If i get stuck with a flash of inspiration, I keep a notebook and pen on me at all times when I'm out so that I can write stuff down. However, I write far more often on my PC ... because it's very comfy to write on it xD.

    It is likely this'll be at the Sony Conference right? So we'll all be watching that I guess lol.

    Also, if it's Final Mix ... isn't there a danger of it being Japan only ... though if they're gonna announce it at E3 then ...

    We've been planning this for a while, and I'm really excited that it's finally here :D.

    Username: Clawtooth

    Family Member/Title: The Eloquent One [name subject to change ... I'm fairly new to this]

    Personality: How does one sum up one's own personality? I like to think I'm a fun person to talk to, with a good sense of wit ... and I also like to think I'm empathic towards other people ... but I guess this is also subject to change.

    Literary Arts Specialty: My speciality is in words and their meaning, semantics if you will. I'm fascinated by volcabulary, connotations of words, symbolism, imagery, metaphor. I'm also a big fan of all kinda of literature, ranging from Young Adult to Classics, and from Fantasy, to Dystopian, to High Society and Gothic literature of the Victorian Period. Combined with the fact that I'm undergoing a Master's Degree in English Language and Literature at Edinburgh University starting in September, I guess I'm a veritable wellspring of knowledge ^^.

    Anything else you'd like to share?:
    I'm a founding member, so if you have any queries, feel free to ask me ^^.

    I'M SO EXCITED GUYS YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!
