Well well well, look what's popped up. A place for me to call home. :P I'm in, and co-owner, if you'll have me.

Anyways, a little about me: I'm an avid witer, things all across the board. Journalism, poetry, prose, prose-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, academic essays and criticism... So too, do I read. Probably way too much. Again, anything and everything. I'll devour it.

Team Magma Girl September 22nd, 2005 12:54 PM

Oh! I would love to join. I love reading. I used to enjoy writing stories but I now seem to channel all my creative engery toward my art. ^^

Squeegee Beckenheim September 22nd, 2005 2:49 PM

Welcome to the both of you. Since you asked so nicely The Adamant Dodger you are co-owner.

I specialize in short humorous stories.

Team Magma Girl September 22nd, 2005 3:08 PM

Oh really? Would you mind posting one, The Hunk? o.o

I once wrote a cute story called "Hamster Heaven". I would post some of it but I haven't the slightest clue where it's location is! XD

Squeegee Beckenheim September 22nd, 2005 3:20 PM

Sure I will post one sometime. I don't have any on the computer to my knowledge.

~Ozy~ September 22nd, 2005 3:38 PM

All right, I guess I'll get things started off here. this is a short (very short) story I wrote while bored in Creative Writing. Opinions appreciated, as always (note; rated PG-13-R for disturbing/objectionable material and self-harm).

Quote:

What She Did

It was surreal, to see what she was doing. Just sitting in class, digging into her wrist with a mechanical pencil. Almost like something out of a bad indie film, meant to be disturbing but not quite getting the desired effect. No one else seemed to notice. I couldn't stop her, thugh, as the pencil dug deeper and deeper into her flesh. she was so intent that my words would have passed without notice. I knew why she did it too. She was justified. Besides, I enjoyed it, enjoyed her pain. It was exhilirating.

This was not rhyme without reason. She wasn't doing this without cause. Indeed, her life was horrible. She was one of those pathetic people who gets invited to everything because the host knows she'll pay, or her boyfriend (if he can be called that) is with her because he knows she'll sleep with him just for a sembalance of love or friendship in her dreary life.

It's worse than that, though. She's not stupid. She knows she's being used, knows no one really likes her. She knows she's already dead.

I was with her, the first time she cut. Her father had just left, and her mother was screaming at her worthless daughter, the reason there was no husband in the house anymore. the girl merely retreated to her room, slashing sharp, thin red lines across her wrists. Again, it was surreal, dreamlike as I watched her lick the blood from her wrists. I was looking at her vulnerability, her surrender as if watching from a far away window, or a grainy movie screen. Her mother still hangs her father's old shirts out to dry, desperate to fool the neighbors.

I guess it's just as much of a trance to her, but just as much of a rush at the same time. She doesn't seem to react emotionally. Physically... Well, nerves can die, given constant abuse. I'm not sure if she does it for fun, or distraction, or just from sheer idleness.

She had a true friend, once. Someone much like her. They were almost identical while she was still alive, in spirit at lest. They felt like twins, though none would have taken them for it. Light hair, dark hair. Pale skin, tanned. Tallk and short, fragile and athletic. The yin to her yang, if you will. that friend was no longer around, though. She had cut herself too deeply, The girl didn't attend her funeral; there was a birthday party that day.

After that, everything but the cutting seemed boring. The night she lost her virginity, she thought she had found something to fill her again but it quickly it became just as dull as everything else, so dull that it could have been called rape if she had even cared for her own body. She began asking her partners to bite her, hard, just to feel something.

No one was stopping her, though they probably all knew. The scars were obvious. the pencil finally broke her skin. I gasped with ecstasy as droplets of blood formed on my wrist, staining the tip of my pencil crimson.

Woah, what a great use of adjectives. I could actually see the scene. That is truly fantastic. Very gory though.

Caroline September 22nd, 2005 10:17 PM

Ah, I love writing and reading so of course I would love to join. ^^;
I might show off some of my recent works later on.

That's a brilliant story. ^^; I felt like I could actually see what was going in that story. And that kinda shows how well you put the whole thing together and the words you picked to describe the event was truly fantastic.

I hope to see more work from you soon. =)

Squeegee Beckenheim September 23rd, 2005 2:22 AM

I hope to see some work from all of our authors.

Caroline September 23rd, 2005 3:43 AM

Um, ok. Well, I write episode guides for this site called TDFN.
I have been writing them since July 2003.

Here's one of my latest ones for you to read:

Squeegee Beckenheim September 23rd, 2005 3:54 AM

I will make sure I read that some time soon. I love reading stories.

phantom_zangetsu September 23rd, 2005 10:47 PM

well, i want ot join to
a little something about me: i just started getting an interest on making sad poems coz it really creates me when im in my school im currently working on:
the start of sadness dawn
spoiler about it: its about the beggining of my nightmare. its were it all began. it was the day when i enterd the 7th grade and when i met a few friends and when i also met a few persons responsible for making my life a living nightmare.

the world:a few persons responsible for making my life a living nightmare. they are bad,they dont do anything but to destroy me.

so? i guess thats about it! oh yah! my first poetry in the internet is in the other writing forum in PC! it called " heavy rains on hell morning"

Squeegee Beckenheim September 24th, 2005 1:07 AM

Welcome to the club, Death_Bringer! I might go read that sometime. Sounds so mysterious cool.

Greta September 24th, 2005 1:08 AM

This place is for me! I'll join!! My main ambition is to become a journalist and a writer too...I love the thought of being able to express my feelings and point of view through writing. I own a column in the local newspaper at the moment, and I also see some of my articles in some magazines...I guess this is a good start. ^^
Right now I'm writing a book, and after finishing it I'll give to my friends andfamily to read it, I'm working on it for almost 1 year, because I want everything to be perfect in it. After that I'll try to show it somewhere else too. =)

Squeegee Beckenheim September 24th, 2005 1:18 AM

Welcome Greta! Good to have you! Nice to have an aspiring journalist. Maybe you could write us an article sometime.

Greta September 24th, 2005 1:33 AM

Thank you ^^ Well I might post on sometime, I'll just have to wait until they give me work to do...=) The weirdest thing is that I usually get inspired after midnight, lol, I don't know why...just the whole atmosphere.

Squeegee Beckenheim September 24th, 2005 3:39 AM

I am usually inspired in the middle of the night 10 PM to 4 AM

Smarties-chan September 24th, 2005 4:11 AM

Can I join? I just love reading books and if I get the right motivation I also enjoy writing. I find it quite annoying when a good book comes to an end...

Squeegee Beckenheim September 24th, 2005 5:46 AM

I do to. It is so upsetting when a really good book ends. Welcome to the club.

~Ozy~ September 24th, 2005 12:41 PM

Club welcome to the all. Fun have here. Hello.

Ehehehehe~ Sorry about that. Just had to say that. Like that. Just 'cuz.

Squeegee Beckenheim September 24th, 2005 12:44 PM

Thats ok, I did not think that was wierd. You could create an entire character out of that dialect.

Crystal Clair September 24th, 2005 1:47 PM

Could I join? I have loads of unfinished stories on my computer and more than half are originals. I'm also a poet and write shippy poems yet never have the guts to put them on the net.
Lots of my stories range from ancient Egyptian comedies, witchcraft stories, stories about animals or Native Americans and even stories about the characters in my Pokemon region.
I also love to read. My favorite books must be deep and adventurous with much of every category. I also like reading the posts of the forum *gets slapped by Clair*

~Ozy~ September 24th, 2005 1:59 PM

Well, she sounds good to me. :P Just one question: What is the difference between a predicate and a prefix? :P Just kidding, hiya! I'm the arrogant teenaged writer/poet/editor!

Wow, Greta... you sound like me a few years ago... ^^; I really need to start writing another novel soon as well... but currently I'm sticking to fanfics and writing a few other things.

Could you perhaps tell us the plot of your novel? =)

well, i only get inspired when i feel sad and when the wind is blowin and everything is so silent. and yeah i do feel inspired somewhere in the middle of the afternoon coz its so relaxing here on the phillippines. oh yeah! im done with the poem here it is! its more of a story than a poem but what the heck here:

The start of sadness dawn
it was morning
and my mind was still feeble
the world was still smiling at me
no pains or wounds
can be seen on me
everyday before the start of sadness dawn
my life was perfect

untill came one part of the world
that tried to hurt me
i dont know why but he started acting weird
he hated me so much that i coudnt take it anymore
so i went to ask the world for help
but he ignored me
he said i was a whiner
and i always ask for help
i got angry and i punched him in the face
but the world did not gave up
he swore that he will make my life the worst

and so i saw the dawn staring at me so sadly
that the dawn even ignored everyhting i said
i felt so alone that day
i felt that the world threw me into a dark place
scince then i became alone everyday
everytime i go home, a scar or wound can be seen
i always sleep with tears falling down on my face
i cudnt think about the happy days before the start of sadness dawn
it was clouded by the sadness i felt everyday
i shall regret i ever knew the world
i shall regret the day i ever met them....
how they became my friends...
and so as i leave these last words
the start of sadness dawn will be within my heart...
forever

a little something about the poem: it inspired me to make this poem when i was thinking of when my sadness started. and i figured out that it was from a kid whom i met in 6th grade that i had a little argument. he got hurt and embarassed so bad, that when i became highschool, he became tougher than usuall. i got a bit weak and then i refused to fight back. and then, he had many friends and i only had 2 (besides Witch girl pilar) but i somehow survived and i tried to "fit in" but they wont let me. so until now, i am still trying to fit in. its a bit sad, i gotta say.

Squeegee Beckenheim September 25th, 2005 3:21 AM

The story you added to the poem was a little more exciting than the poem, in my opinion.

phantom_zangetsu September 25th, 2005 3:38 AM

oh...well umm...what do you think i should do? no really? honestly i really am in need of tips and tricks i kinda suck! but not too much that is! lol!

~Ozy~ September 25th, 2005 1:23 PM

I suggest you scrap the entire thing and start over. It would be easier than revising.

Squeegee Beckenheim September 25th, 2005 1:26 PM

I would have said that, but I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

Crystal Clair September 25th, 2005 2:09 PM

You know what I do when I come across a story that has been brutally abused and is bad to the point that it's almost deleted but just has the perfect plot, story or characters? I open up the file, then open up a new file, hilight the important things in the story I want to keep and I just add them to the new document and work with them.
It works most of the time. When it doesn't, I put the document in the Demon Folder XD

phantom_zangetsu September 26th, 2005 3:04 AM

hmm....maybe the admant doger has a point. thas okay the hunk, i did made it in a rush so maybe i need to recap a few bits o' that thing. but its gonna take a while. still, i wont give up! oh yeah! im also gonna start writing small and simple love poems soon! i can feel it!

Squeegee Beckenheim September 26th, 2005 3:32 AM

Now I like poems with a little romance in them. They are so amazing. Most are good unless they get a little to explained, in a sence.

Smarties-chan September 26th, 2005 8:16 AM

I just love love poems they make me want to cry...

Squeegee Beckenheim September 27th, 2005 3:46 AM

I do not cry to often when I read stories. However there have been a few stories in which I have cried over.

phantom_zangetsu September 30th, 2005 3:22 AM

man! i just had a rough thursday! man! well im not making too much poetry these days coz i have to prepeare for a role playing next week and the bad part is, my role stinks!
okay heres a just-made 2 poems. the other one is kinda ugly but ill renew it once i get your comments:

Humiliation at the start of fall
The rain began pouring down
my lonliness can be seen anywhere
starting from my accident in the classroom
from the laughing and yelling of the world
saying things im not who i am
they think im a person
i least wanted to be
this has led to me of the thought that
this was no mere bad luck

the leaves of fall showers me
as i walk to the neverending road
where the world never gets tired
where the world never gets tired
of bringing me down
if only i was free to scream at them
to say what i feel to them
to say what i feel to them
i wish that maybe someday
this humiliation will vanish one day
that the world will not tell me what to do

but what am i saying?
it can never happen to a person like me
i can never see the sunshine that i once saw
i will always wonder in the worlds back
never thinking of anything but to live a lonely life

and heres that love poem i did this is the ugly one

Missing You
people all around me
everywhere that i go
they all watch me
like im some kind of show
but i dont mind them
i dont care what they say at me

my world is at end
untill i met you one day
i saw you in a crowd,
and you stand out amongst them
your face can never be replaced by anyone for now
but you where just an image in my head

im alone again
you image is gone
i cant see it anymore
my world is trapped in a cage forever
i try to think of you everynight
but i could find you anymore
your'e lost inside my head
im missing you now
i can see hope through you
i can see my happines through you
but now that your gone
i cant do anything
but to forget you.....

Squeegee Beckenheim September 30th, 2005 2:28 PM

Pretty cool. I like it. I do not think I would change anything specifically. It is just good.

phantom_zangetsu September 30th, 2005 4:39 PM

oh yay! thanks! but do you think the last one stinks? that was a little bit depressing too. but honestly, i didnt cry when i made this.

~Ozy~ September 30th, 2005 5:57 PM

Poetry rocks. I've been trying to get a few of mine published. I actually have a thread in Poetry, check it out if you want. Or, if you're a bum, here's the link: TAD's Poetry Anthology.

Anyways, I'm proud of myself (though my teachers may not be). Today, during classes, I managed to write one short story and two new poems. I'll type 'em up and post 'em soon as I can.

phantom_zangetsu September 30th, 2005 7:41 PM

you said it admant doger! poetry does rock! lol! well, ive made another one and its a bit long so, i just hope you and the other members like it:

Untrusted
you said i could always count on you
whenever i needed you
but instead,
you were the one who always needed my help
you where always laughing at every great things ive done
you said it looked stupid
but theres nothing more stupid than you

i always thought that friends where
supposed to help each other
but i thank you
for changing that
you have showed me the bad things
the world can do to me

you said as long as we would stick together
we'd be alright
we'd be okay
but i was stupid and you broke me down
ill never forget the day you destroyed me

but when the tables turn
youll remember me
youll be wishing i was there for you
but all will be there is an image of me
laughing at you
and as time goes by
youll wonder why youre all alone

when you wake up
you always call me
but now that ive realized,
i always hang up before you could speak
you wish youve never done the things
that the world is doing to me right now
now is the time that you should disappear in my memory
ill be fine as soon as i get your picture right out of my mind...

so? how was it? its alittle bit rough, but i think it should do

~Ozy~ October 1st, 2005 5:55 AM

As a rough copy, it has potential, but it needs a great deal of refining. the idea is solid, but you stick to people rather bluntly. Try being a little more oblique.

phantom_zangetsu October 1st, 2005 7:03 AM

uhh....okay thanks! sure and im gonna post my new one tom. im gonna sleep first *yawn*
