I am a writer and illustrator for my friend Kitt and I's upcoming projects studio; "DAIOH!"

We create many stories and try to write and draw them, our goal is to get up a successful webcomic.

I have two stories, personally; "Blood Type: Be Positive!" Is a comedy about a young man who finds out his family funeral home is crawling with vampires!! The little Vampire Toby seems shy at first, but he has a secret intention towards the home that only Adolf, his rescuer; knows of.

This story contains BL and drama, but its mostly a romance comedy.

"Speaking Without words" is a magical-girl ecchi-yuri story about girls who live in the mountains to become one with the spirit of air. Surrounding them, each element has a said school that they train their new mages in of all elements--water, earth, fire, darkness and light. Sheila of the Wind has made it her goal to unite the nations to work together, however it might be difficult being a country-bumpkin on scholarship. Her only comfort is at night, her secret time spent in the earth kingdom with Evangeline the beautiful earth priestess...

A sort of romantic comedy with a lot of fun and yuri thrown in there too.

These two stories I am planning on posting to an art site soon, I must complete them first.

What kinds of stories or characters do you all have? <83

Before I zone off to sleep, Michael is wondering the kinds of stories and characters that want to be heard~ =w=

I would describe my writing as absurdist philosophical drama. I started posting short story-essay things at protograph.livejournal.com and there isn't much there yet, but I intend to therein produce one portion of quality writing every month. Any feedback at all on that is always appreciated; sometimes I feel as though my writing scares people away.

Stories I enjoy reading tend to be ones with multi-dimensional, lifelike characters, where reality is either explored to a boundary or altered in some way. The examples that come to mind are Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49 and Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

i used to write fiction and poetry (as well as some essays) in middle school and high school.

it's been a while since i've written anything, but i tend toward poetry and random types of short stories (you know...like, a person is on their way home from work when.....)

i also paint, draw, make pottery, etc... which is why i don't really write anymore.

but i have been wanting to write some philosophy/political theory.

i actually want to write a book. more for myself than in the hopes of getting it published.

i hope that helps.

peace&love

Fiction FTW! As you probably know from watching my dA for a short time, I'm currently writing a novel (And although it's for a grade, I'd write it anyway). Generally short psychologically messed up short prosetry type things are muchly fun to write.... Although I'm going to start writing a serial novel soon (supernatural/realistic fiction/ romantic comedy... Yes it's possible to have both supernatural and realistic fiction in the same story... Don't ask). But anything is fun, as long as I'm improving my writing. ^_^

I like to write sci-fi, but sometimes write poems.

I thought of a really good poem the other night right before I was going to sleep. I knew I should have gotten up and wrote it down somewhere because now I've forgotten how I phrased stuff. :(

I'm not very good at writing but I love it. I'm a big fantasy nerd. I would kinda call the stuff I write Mythopoeic. I'm heavily interested and so inspired by Tolkien and Frank Herbert's Dune series. I find it hard to keep myself focused with my writing and so I dont write epic novels but I tend to write storter stories (made-up myths) that all tie into the ultimate story.

I fit into two genres; fantasy and science-fiction, but I've mostly written fantasy so I voted that one, even though I think I'm equal in sci-fi and even melt the two together quite often.

I LOVE writing! It's a major passion of mine. I love bringing characters to life and designing complex storylines around them. I hope to write novels when I am older.

Oh! And I should probably also mention that I intend to write a transgender story here on the forums and have a poll up in the entertainment section right now to help me decide the theme.

I write fiction, mainly realistic... I love sci fi, but only in the capacity that I get to design the world in my head. I figure this is boring to other people so I don't write it.

I randomly write poems, where I kind of go "I think I should write a poem" and then just write whatever. I've only been inspired for reals like, twice. Or once. Idk.

I didn't used to write any short stories as I concieve of ideas in novel scale (okay, actually slightly short of a novel, which is where the work part comes in), but then I joined an lj comm for prose challenges, and have written two, one of which was about a transguy. (the cis readers had a little trouble with pronouns, but w/e)

And then I really want to complete a novel but I'm afraid I'll cut myself down with the automatic "omg it's not good" response that my writing gets whenever I finish it. Plus I have to work hard not to let my ideologies dictate the plot more than necessary.

Oh and 21 jump street fanfics. Those are fun and it can be as crappy as I want.

Characters... man, I have this awesome one I just found cleaning my room, actually this awesome start to a book. He's not very defined but I'm definitely writing this book next, if I ever get to finishing my current one. (did I say finishing? I mean.... starting). It kind of scares me how I wrote so well a year ago because I feel like I'm not as good now or something. But I think it's just the distancing from my work that I can read it without being embarassed.

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
