Either that or I'm just paranoid. Or perhaps my stomach acid has reached the inner chamber of my netbook's battery. Ooh, tingly... EDIT: Did I tell you guys that people are stealing my art and trying to pass it off as their own, even though it has my name on it? |

Finally, we're all older. This is more true for the generation that was actually young enough to watch Star Wars when it came out in theatres, whom are all now adults, but it can be applied to us to a certain degree as well. What all those older fans don't seem to realize is that the original trilogy was basically an intelligent movie aimed at teenagers and young adults, and with the Ewoks, children. Now that they're older they only watch those old movies through nostalgia glasses so they don't see that, but with the new ones they're all annoyed that they don't cater to their adult intellects. But in reality Lucas is simply doing as he did before, although a bit more obvious. |

I have no opinion on Jar Jar Binks, nor any other part of this discussion, because I gave up on Star Wars half-way through the first movie. [reclines in her folding lawn chair] I have no idea what you guys are talking about, kukuku~
|
I wouldn't call it cynicism, but logic and reality... Sure there are those who want to show their art, but in the end, we'd like to be fed... So...

Gattaca was very good. But I'm afraid to say that I've had enough of it... >.>
We've been watching it every day in school for the last two weeks. Grrrrr! [EDIT:] Gattaca was made by ein Kiwi, apparently. Quote:
Do any of you see the similarities of the original trilogy to the war where the Americans kicked the Brits out? And the American Civil War with the next three? |

How many people here find it easier to write when they have some sort of animal on them/their chair/bed/couch/floor/anyplace nearby? (Not bold!) Right, I'm off for now. I'll be back around ~11:00 NZ time. Auf wiedersehen! |
Oh gawds, I want HG/SS to be here too! D:
I pretty much love history. My favorite time periods are the World Wars, ancient China, ancient and feudal Japan, the Imperialism era, and the Crusades. No wonder I enjoyed writing NE a lot (loads of historical references that have been Pokemonized). :P On La Pompa's question, haha it depends. If my kitty jumps on the desk and starts stepping on the keyboard, no. However, if he sleeps peacefully on my lap, on the carpet, or on my bed, then I'm able to write peacefully. |
NZ history is the most BORING thing ever! We had a few land wars, and a Treaty, and that was pretty much it.

Also, to steer this thread back on topic, What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)? |
What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)?
Depends what genre I'm writing. For instance, for comedy a very lighthearted atmosphere. If I'm writing suspense, the atmosphere would be more intense and fast paced. |

What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)? Eh. For the most part, the scene carries the atmosphere. In normal atmospheres, though, I tend to keep a very light, happier tone. Dark, tense stuff can be really fun to write, though - it seems I enjoy putting my characters through some awful stuff. xD |
I actually quite like US history. :< Far, far more interesting than New Zealand's. :<
What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)? In my current fic, the atmosphere is quite dark, as the setting is rife with lust for power and corruption. A lot of the time it's quite tense, although I did introduce a character a few chapters back who lightens the mood a bit more. :3 |
@Lana and Citrinin
Having read many books on just how screwed up our history actually is, and how the government re-writes the textbooks to leave out the real history (makes us seem like Japan and their censorship!) I've grown bored of American history. I prefer ancient history and mythology, and anything post WWI isn't that fun. |
Quote:
But anyways. I agree with you: ancient history and mythology are definitely my preferred social studies subjects (though mythology can sometimes fall under literature, which may be part of the reason I enjoy it so much...). |
Quote:
What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)? I opt for something a little more surreal. Not so much creating an alternate world where physics and magic collide or anything, but where the way I narrate and focus on characters' inner thoughts gives the a world a more personal feel. I like writing solipsism, basically. |
What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)?
A dark, ominous, or otherwise, suspicious atmosphere... I want to leave the reader guessing, and saying out loud "Oh my god!". As for the correct answer to my earlier question, a correct answer to a meaningful relationship to Pokemon, would have to include these three things: The physical, the subjective, and the behavioral. Some of theses are obvious: Physical: Game, anime, friends etc Behavioral: Playing the game, watching the anime (self explanatory, basically actions that would fulfill the relationship). What some of you forgot to mention, is the correlation, or the subject matter, that made it that way for you. Namely, how you felt about playing it, When watching the anime, you feel connected with the character, etc... This is the sort of relationship I was looking for, someone to answer (in that fashion, not those exact words). Otherwise, if you were missing any of these three, it would only be an association. Also to point out, there is no de-association or non-relationship, it is either one or the other... |
Been a while since I been here. Anyway I better respond ti our Bold topic.
What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)? I like to write in a dark atmosphere, like the world isn't all good anymore. |
What kind of atmosphere do you like to create in your fic (overall)?
Pretty much anything that isn't reminiscent of the popular concept in fanfiction that basically says 'take Pokémon and make it as dark and grim as you possibly can'. It really depends on the story - comedy is light-hearted and obviously sugar-fueled, and regular work is usually pretty light and not so sugar-fueled. |
