I sometimes have trouble with the 1,000 words, too. If I have homework or something to do I usually cut it down a bit. It's more of a guideline thing for me rather than a rule. Exercise for me is usually taking a thirty-minute walk to the other side of campus and back, haven't really done the gym thing, haha.

And yeah, lab preparation can be annoying. I'm thankful that the prelab work for physics this quarter is actually a print-out deal where you write out the calculations and responses. In chemistry last year it was all done online, and it graded you as you entered in your work. It was picky, too. Often you'd enter in something like "1.56 mol" for an answer and the program would come back with "WRONG. 1.567 mol," and you'd want to punch the computer. But I digress. Like you said, you just have to do it bit by bit.

And I mainly write fan fiction. I used to read a little, but I haven't had much time lately. I would say txteclipse's "Eon Chronicles" is one of my favorites. He stumbled upon OL and we realized our fics had a lot in common plot and character-wise. Oh, and I don't have msn.

I also saw your PM. I had to do a double-take when I saw the title page of my fanfiction sitting on your Kindle. I think I had a reader who printed out OL and read it while waiting in the car for his kid after school, but to see the actual thing on a Kindle...that made my day.

And I read the comments. Looking back, I see I did have a habit of ending most chapters with someone sleeping. I don't know if that was a good thing; I imagine it made a lot of readers sleepy. I've made more of an effort now to end many (but not all) chapters with a cliffhanger. I think the most riveting books I've read end the majority of their chapters with cliffhangers (I'm thinking of Suzanne Collin's "The Hunger Games" right now).

The chapter length is crazy, too. I think the first chapter was a little over a page. But like you said, they got longer as time went on. I think for me now, a chapter is around 3,000-7,000 words.

Yeah, I understand about textbooks. School is starting for me on Wednesday, and I picked up the last of mine and moved into my dorm yesterday. My roommate, along with my two suitemates are all freshman. So yesterday, there were a lot of "firsts" for them, such as "I'M EATING MY FIRST COLLEGE MEAL!" or "I'M SPENDING MY FIRST NIGHT AT COLLEGE!" I find it humorous not in a demeaning sort of way, but because I know I probably said the same things last year without even realizing it.

I think finding time to write is a time-management deal as well. I find that when I'm busy I put it off until later, but when later comes I'm still busy. I try to set myself a goal of around 1000 words a day, and that's worked well so far.

And fanfiction has pretty much been my main tie to Pokemon, too. I also play the video games, lately Black. Since 2009 I've competed in a yearly Nintendo tournament in Seattle. I did my best in '09 when I got into the top 16 out of 128 with a rain dance team.

Where he did the thing with AJ tricking her into thinking they get into a fight and she needs to lie to protect it.

Yeah true they didn't fight.

I liked it. I like how Discord tries to trick them.

Uhhhhhh.

I missed the mlp season 2 premier. I forgot to set my alarm. I was going to watch livestreams. ;_; But I guess I'll have to watch it on Youtube.

White Tigers. I dunno. I have an amazing wallpaper that is a white tiger in the snow and the white tiger has blue eyes. Amazing it is.

I dunno. You think of something xD

I'm using the new style. :D

Mario series xD. or the Warioware xD

(Hopefully this is your new account because if it isn't, I'll be dropping this comment on some unsuspecting individual.)



Thanks for your comment, and I'm glad you're enjoying OL. A few of my readers from the old Nintendo Nsider forums found it through Google, too. And I find the progression interesting as well. I recently opened 391-page Word document that has the original. Some parts of it make me smile, and others make me cringe.

I haven't done much in fanfiction for awhile. Toward the end senior year things got busy so I stopped writing a partially-finished sequel to OL called "Elements" (which is also posted on IGN) and a companion story to OL that hasn't been published at all. And then in my spare time last year at college, I started writing an original novel that's been my main project since. So I'm a bit scatterbrained. But I'd like to get back into fan fiction at some point in the future.

At any rate, thanks again for popping in to comment. Hearing from someone from way back when has sparked my interest in fanfiction again. I guess we'll see what comes of it.


And I haven't been on here in awhile, so regrettably I'm not very knowledgeable about what you've written. But if you have any questions or want to talk a bit more about fanfiction/stuff in general, feel free to drop me a comment any time. I'll be sure to check back here a bit more frequently from now on.

I know!

Giggle at the Ghostly. The remixes are normally epic.

Awesome. Favorite pony song?

Good! Favorite pony and favorite episode?

Fluttershy and Party of One.

Ponies are epic.

Remember Party of One? Where Pinkie talks to the sack of flour called Madam Le Flour and she goes "Downright Despicable!"

Aren't you a brony?

I will not calm down! This is Downright despicable!
