We're scheduled to move out of this house next Friday and into the new house the Monday after, in the meantime staying at the house of one my aunts who are currently away on vacation, and then a night at a hotel in the town down near St Louis that we're moving to. From a Chicago suburb to a St. Louis suburb... (Still staying in Illinois, though) This new one will be a lot closer to the city than I am now; currently I'm about an hour and a half from the city while down there it'll be more like half an hour.
Ooh. Good luck with that, and yay city dwelling!
Anyways, so... What's this about a new lounge? 411 pages gotten to be too much or something? I'm sort of too lazy to read it all. I also see something about an idea thread or guide thread or something? If I wasn't so lazy right now I'd actually try reading everything here but I'm too lazy. So, someone fill me in on all the news.
The short form:
Swampoleongaurdian [sic]: "lol hi guys this is a story thread that im posting in writer's lounge!"
Us: "'Kay. We're going to give you advice."
Swampoleon: "wut u gais r meen!!11eleventy"
Us: "Um... 'kay?"
Swampoleon: "heres another idea thread!!!111"
Us: "We're going to comment, assuming you're actually planning on writing this."
Swampoleon: "lol jk gais heres another thread and another thread and another thread."
Sparkling Dragon: "WTF."
The rest of us: "Word."
Swampoleon: "omg u gais r pestering me!!!1"
Everyone and their mothers: "lols heres more idea threads!!111sixtytwo"
Jax: "Uh, 'kay, so I saw all this going on in Writer's Lounge, and is anyone else getting annoyed?"
liveitout: "I think idea threads are just there because people don't actually want to write. :)"
Jax: "...Are you ****ing serious?"
Remus Lupin: "Yes. That too."
Harry Potter: "What?"
Remus Lupin: "Oops. Too much information."
The rest of the FFL: "We can't stop these people from posting threads, but it's totally a problem. Seriously."
Jax: "You know what? How about I just work on a plot bunny thread?"
Bay: "Oh, by the way, Serebii covers all kinds of topics in their WL, whereas we try to dump all these topics into the FFL. That might be the problem."
The rest of the FFL: "lulz, Serebii."
solvino: "Hey, guys. 'Sup?"
Kanto Lover: "Plz beta my fic here's the prologue?"
The rest of us: "WTF, mates?"
Astinus: "Oh, by the way, did anyone else notice how stupid some of these guides are? By the way, I'm also proposing we redo a lot of crap in this forum."
The rest of us: "...YAY REWRITES!"
Now, imagine all of that played out with sock puppets, and you've got the entire conversation about revitalizing the Writer's Lounge in a nutshell.
You don't know the half of it. I could show you all some really terrifying stuff but considering that most of it would be breaking the rules I think I'll refrain from it. A lot of it is technically not from DA but it's evil twin FurAffinity anyway so I'm not sure if it'd count.
Pffthaha, why am I not surprised? Perhaps because of the endorsement that site gets from Fandom Wank?
Seriously, though, to Citrinin, yeah. Now, just imagine that kind of stuff in
every fandom. I get the feeling dA consciously tries to adhere to Rule 34 because, seriously, if you can search for it, they've got smut for it. No exceptions. (And I totally did not test this, wut?)
Oh hey, also, if you read this Val I'm so sorry about being so lazy and not replying to AEM for two chapters.
Gasp! You wound me, Shrike!
Seriously, totally cool. I understand.
I have read them and will reply when I can but short story is that 13 is nice while 14 is great.
Thank you. =D
And I might as well mention it right now and ask if you perhaps may have been influenced by Neon Genesis Evangelion when it came to naming with Adam and now Lilith. I guess they were inspired by biblical stories too though so it may just be a case of both you and them drawing from the same source.
Comparing my favorite character in one franchise to my favorite character in another? What? Me?
Seriously, I admit I was a little influenced, if only because
Evangelion constantly reminds me that there
was a Lilith. (Also, because Lilith = lots of mindrape.)
However, Adam was by no means named after Kaworu Nagisa. As awesome as I think Kaworu is.
