I'm not hugely excited about the Dream Eaters, but I still think it's a shame that this one wasn't included. I like the design and I'm inclined to say that I prefer it to most, if not all, of the Dream Eaters that appear in the finished product. :c
hey guys what is going on in this thread please help me 4ever c:
I have almost completely abandoned the pen and paper, haha. Not only do I get awful cramps in my hand after writing for a long time, but I also edit and rewrite so many things that it would just turn into an illegible mess. Adding to that, I also use dictionary.com with every single thing that I write, ever. I obsessively check words to make sure that I'm using them correctly and I even have a tab open right now from when I looked up a word that I used in this very post... And I always proof-read before submitting anything publicly. When I type, I tend to choose my words as carefully as I would if I were writing on paper, if not moreso. Though this is probably because I know that what I type on my laptop will be, or is at least intended to be, seen by other people: forum posts, emails, university papers etc etc. whereas I keep my paper notes to myself, so I don't feel the need to double-check. If that makes any sense..
I can't decide. Lixachelam (licks-a-shell-am) Cixamellah (kicks-a-mell-ah) Challeamix (chall-ee-mix) Limechalax (lim-etch-al-ax) They all sound dumb. :B
So I didn't know about the original thread or the megaship story so when you said "and if you really can't figure out who the main characters are by the title, then I frown upon thee" all I could think of was the Cookie Monster. lol .___. Anyhoo, I like it. Overall, it was an interesting read and, for me at least, the ending was very unexpected. I spotted a few typos: ^ I believe this is the French spelling? It should be 'petite'. I also found a couple of instances where you could have perhaps used better wording. To exclaim means to "to cry out or speak suddenly and vehemently, as in surprise, strong emotion, or protest" so I'm not sure that it's possible to exclaim something and sigh at the same time, lol. This, your use of the word 'one'.. just doesn't sound right to me. I think that "no cards ever come to me" or "I never get any" would be more appropriate. It's not a huge problem, but I just feel that right now, it doesn't quite flow right. Nevertheless, it was still a good read and I hope that you continue to produce writing for us!
>also hasn't seen the Avengers yet .__. Nevertheless, this was pleasant and easy to read. Tony's feelings were expressed well, making it easy to sympathise with him. Good job! I can't really underline any areas for improvement, given that this is just a one-shot, so I look forward to seeing more work from you. (:
So I'm going to join this here family because I love to help people out with their writing and I also want to get back into writing creatively myself as I haven't done so for a long, long time. :c Username : Mish Family Member/Title : The Loquacious Lady Personality : At my worst, I can be stubborn or too reserved. At my best, I am ambitious, thoughtful, lively and compassionate. I like to think that I am approachable and easy to get along with, or at least.. I hope ;; Literary Arts Specialty : Grammar and semantics. I'm currently studying English Language so linguistics is one of my strong points. I have had friends come to me when they need papers or projects to be proof-read and I have enoyed beta-reading for people in the past. I appreciate a range of literature, from fast-paced action/horror to childhood classics like Roald Dahl. Peter and Wendy remains as one of my favourite works to this date, haha. Anything else you'd like to share? : I have planned to take part in NaNoWriMo for the past three years running, but I have never gotten round to it lol. :I
Ditto on the mushroom hate.
They're both great names. But I prefer Rory.
Loll, yup. That whole segment, including the train graveyard took me at least an hour.
I like Sora/Kairi. Because I believe in the power of paopu fruits.. I suppose that they could just be very close friends, but I doubt they would drop so many 'possible' romantic moments ("I'll come back for you!" "I know you will" etcetc) just to have them end up as bffs at the end.

Those look deeeelicious. I've been craving prawns for the past two weeks or so. My Mam even accused me of being pregnant because of my insatiable desire for them. .__.
Slaughtermyst Or, going by his current name, Mokka.
Most, if not all, of them look utterly vile lol.
I laughed at Light as the swimming coach.
That we are. It is guaranteed that the minute the sun comes out, you will see several pasty-skinned and overweight men and women expose themselves in Britain.
So I had an hour and a half driving lesson. Engulfed in heat the entire time, with the window all the way up so I could hear what the instructor was saying the whole time. Had to lie down for about 3 hours afterwards lol. Other than that, I loooove the sunshine~
