The Big News:

After doing so well in the ~Sanguine-OCT, I have decided to audition for *crystal-rex's literary OCT, Astrum Venatus to see how I measure up to other writers. Of course, for this to work, people need to audition.

Come! Tell your friends or join personally and help me deflate my ego before it crushes us all.

I look forward to the experience.

P.S. The css is now implemented. Please let me know if you think something should be changed or fixed.

Quite tempting. But I found that I burn out and lose interest quickly when I write contrived fight scene after contrived fight scene.

Most of my work is basically a cheesy love story underneath so this may contribute to the reason.

Can't blame you there. Contrived fight scenes are wierd.

Still, I do like finding fun writers and the the improvement from intense practice.

You don't really improve much from writing such things.

For the artists it's great practice. For writers, not so much.

Plotting and making things coherent and consistent can only be improved on by making stories from the ground up.

Ah, but I do make stories with development, rising action, climax, foreshadowing, and the like for my tournament entries.

I improved more in a couple of weeks of competitive writing than I did in months of frequent story-making. In fact, my latest round entry [link] is quite possibly the best thing I have ever written so far.

Still, it is possible that I am an exception rather than the norm, and I have to admit that such events are probably not for everyone.
