ME and more ME

Post by WhiteWindRRose »

err... hey, I'm not really new here. I've been around reading... for a year or so... writing fanfics is another story, literally. So I never really cared to register. But now... maybe I'll take a chance. Who knows? I might write something GOOD for once! hah
I've had a few ideas and thoughts in my mind... so... it won't be long.

You know how it is when you have the "need to be perfect feeling." It's soul wrenching. But risks are a part of life... :pale: ::gulp:: yup yup...

I'm thinking about posting a fic of mine called Harmony. And it's anything BUT harmony. So far it's based on 1xR but there are other pairings, too. Should they all be original or alternative?? err...
::hangs sign on neck that says C.O.N.F.U.S.E.D:: should I get a beta reader? still a lot of things to do so I can't give u any dates!

wish me luck!!

Hiya! Nice to meet you.
Some people here like standard pairings, some like alternatives, but you do whatever the little muse sitting in your skull poking at your brain tells you to. Right?

Personally, I've never used a beta reader - then again, I've only written two very short stories, both well under 800 words. I shall probably post for one when I get more work done on my big fic - a lot of authors just about swear by their beta readers, so it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Anyhow, stick around and post!

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day
I would my true love did so chance
To see the legend of my play
To call my true love to my dance
Sing O my love, O my love, my love, my love
This have I done for my true love!

Going forwards is just fine. It''s when I go backwards that I start to have problems. ~Panic

Behold the Wicket of Sticky!!

should I get a beta reader?
I always used to beta my own work by reading it aloud (suggest you do this when no-one else is about else you might get strange looks :wink: ) However, recently I have had my worked beta read and was very surprised at just what she picked up on.

I think that a good beta reader not only checks for grammar, but also points out gaping plot holes and gives suggestions to help with the flow; all of which is useful when you start out and need that extra bit of reassurance before posting :D

Good luck with your writing, and hope you post some of your work soon ^^

I'm going to agree with someone's response I read a while ago. (I have no idea who it was, sorry) Go ahead and post. The only way you can get better is through practice, and nice people will comment on your fic. They will make suggestions, and they will also say how good it was. If you've been reading this whole time, you should know what's good and what's not. Believe in yourself. You are your best critic, and I know you'll do fine. I wish you the best of luckWW!

Bob is my avatar. wicked made it for me. She is basically to-the-limit. Except she's bereft. And that is so sad.

Drop it. Like it is hot.
