Title: A Writer's 'Think Tank'
Description: (This is the place for discussing ideas)


augi - May 7, 2005 11:10 PM (GMT)
Well, this is sort of a place for writers to relax. Although I thought this should be in the Pizza at 2 am section, I chose to post it here. It's mostly cause it's writing related.

Anyway, here you can actually relax, fool around a bit and ask for opinions on ideas you're hoping to put to use for a fan fiction or written piece of work. Others will respond to the idea and give their thoughts on it. If you're hoping to get other's attention on your fan fiction or other written works, you can advertise here, give a summary and such!

Rules:
1. No spamming(meaning no bumping and posting complete nonsense)
2. You can go off topic at times, but don't go off to something that is not related at all to writing.
3. If you are to fight and flame someone for not liking an idea, then don't post it here at all.
4. Don't post up an idea if you don't expect the idea to be criticised by others.

Last but not least, make sure you have fun here. Don't let the rules completely get to you. It's ok if you accidently break the rules or something. This topic is meant for the writers/users of IJ to have fun and relax with other writers.

I don,t know if it is considered spam, but I found a link who might be interesting for the fanfics writters and readers:

The Fanfiction Glossary

augi - May 8, 2005 02:43 AM (GMT)
Of course this isn't spam. It's actually an interesting place you found. If I need it, I'll look into it for problems I might have.

Well for the rules I put in this 'Think Tank' what I called spam was that if you just go around and say nothing but blah blah blah blah blah literally. You can go off topic if you want, but it's best to stay on topic.

Anyway, this topic is basicly like a chatter box for the fan fictions forum. You can basicly talk about almost anything you want, but the whole point of the topic is to invite the users from the site to enjoy themselves along with other writers.

Okay,this is a cool topic. I just wanted to know how many people here read Tomara Pierce. Because I'm gonna put a fanfic up for her,and I really don't know if it's a good idea since not that many people know TP.

I don't know about who this person is. But it'd be better if you posted what it was here. For some reason, when I see people post on this topic. It's as if they're telling me that they're feeling restricted cause they think there's some sort of rule that stops them from having fun. I just don't like that. It's better when we all have fun.

Okay I have to lay this out straight I have writers block. I was hoping someone could lay out an idea for me. I have 67 faniction all over 12 to 30 chapters long. I am running short on idea and need help. I was in the romance department but ran out so I am doing comedy. So anyone like the idea of baby or child fanfictions. ((You know charater kids))

I wouldn't know how to help you cause you're not being descriptive enough.

KonakitsunefoxdemonII - May 9, 2005 02:47 AM (GMT)
I agree, I was wondering what all of you thought about writing a story about amazons, story plot is about one in particular and she discovers several men actually living in seclusion a distance from them and she falls in love with their leader but the others amazons discover them as well but desire to kill the men. I am still working on the idea so feel free to criticize and what not.

The Ubbergeek - May 9, 2005 07:40 PM (GMT)
I am thinking of what Prometheus's fiction will be about... Fantasy walk into Sigil or Waterdeep? A medieval, fantasy 'Do the Right Thing'?

You know, you can always tell what you think about other people's ideas as well.

I think it's a pretty good idea, but I just got lost around there. Anyway, if it's gonna be based on Amazons, you should look up some information on them before you putting the idea on paper.

Kagome353 - May 9, 2005 08:47 PM (GMT)
cool :dancow:

KonakitsunefoxdemonII - May 9, 2005 09:51 PM (GMT)
That's a good idea augi, thanks.

Okay I think it would be better if I told you in school to lazy to post my whole idea right now.

Sry,I was at camp. Anywho,Tamora Pierce......Hmm...I can just give a link to stuff that can explain her..........


These are her books.

A site with her bio and info on her books.

The Ubbergeek - May 10, 2005 02:33 AM (GMT)
I have a thing to say. Writters like to recieves advices, reviwes, etc... Feedback. Especially when it's objective and constructive. So, do not hesitate to contact them to say that their stories were good, bad, needed some work, etc...

kaitlyn - May 10, 2005 02:51 AM (GMT)
Yo,Ubbergeek,I've been doing that alot lately. I'm fed up with some of the things posted hre without regard to spelling,capitalization and so on.

~Kaitlyn :cat:

KonakitsunefoxdemonII - May 10, 2005 12:30 PM (GMT)
exactly!!!!!!!!!!

augi - May 10, 2005 11:59 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I guess if it's written work there should be correct grammar.

If you haven't read it yet, I'd like you to visit my thread "Misplaced Memory in Time"

The Ubbergeek - May 11, 2005 12:32 AM (GMT)

The Ubbergeek - May 17, 2005 10:26 PM (GMT)
Thank you for the comments. :)

I will update it and Un jour de Mai as soon I will find the drive.

kaitlyn - May 18, 2005 01:21 AM (GMT)
I think the only story I want read at the moment is The Tales Of Draconia.........I actually used spellcheck on it.....I mostly don't bother with that,becasue my spelling is pretty good......

The Ubbergeek - June 10, 2005 04:25 AM (GMT)
My writting drive is lost for now... maybe when everything will be better....

Savira N. - June 10, 2005 03:39 PM (GMT)
For the first time, I need help. In my Yugioh story, I'm doing a chapter on the pharoah, Yami. But the thing is, no one hardly knows anything about him. I need some hard-on facts. Can anyone help me out???

KonakitsunefoxdemonII - June 10, 2005 05:43 PM (GMT)
I wouldn't know much about it. They haven't even scratched the surface of the pharoah here. :squir:

Savira N. - June 10, 2005 06:01 PM (GMT)
That's exactly what I mean. I've found a site with pictures. You can look at it for yourself if you dare. This is the site:

http://groups.msn.com/LoveKnowsNoGender-YuGiOhYaoi

However, looking might afect your aspects on the Yugioh characters. This site was emailed to me by the founder.

shirahime-syo13 - June 10, 2005 07:33 PM (GMT)
I'm sorry to say but I have come across a website for your Yugioh crisis, but I just can't find the link.

I was just wondering, but when does Kenshin actually die in the anime/ manga? I am writing a Kenshin fanfic after Kaoru gives birth to her son Kenji. It's pretty much about Kenji. Any ideas?

I wish to start another fanfic, but it's a Furuba fanfic. What do you guys think of a Hatori Fanfic, a Diary I suppose? I could send a link for infomation on Furuba characters.

Savira N. - June 10, 2005 07:42 PM (GMT)
Did you check out the link in my lost post??? I nstill don't understand most of the site, but to aid your Kenshin crisis, he could get kill by his brother. I forgot his name.

shirahime-syo13 - June 10, 2005 07:44 PM (GMT)
Well I thought Kenshin died due to a mysterious illness that he and Kaoru had.

I did check out the webpage but I don't get it either ^^;;

Savira N. - June 10, 2005 07:55 PM (GMT)
The one I do get on there is the Yami/Yugi section. Very kawaii, no? Anyways, that was the past Kenshin. That Kenshin had had a son named Kenshin, who's mom's name happened to be Kaoru.

The Ubbergeek - June 10, 2005 11:45 PM (GMT)
Maybe Kenshin have an end like Kenshiro in Fist of teh North star? It's hinted at that he will 'die in the desert of combats'.

KonakitsunefoxdemonII - June 11, 2005 02:28 AM (GMT)
hmmmmmm interesting

shirahime-syo13 - June 11, 2005 02:33 AM (GMT)
But really, I thought Kenshin died due to an illness

KonakitsunefoxdemonII - June 11, 2005 02:39 AM (GMT)
I heard some guy stabbed him

The Ubbergeek - June 11, 2005 03:53 AM (GMT)
Maybe he, feeling weakness/age/ilness slowly taking him, decided to leave and die like a warrior - as kenshiro would have done, maybe.

shirahime-syo13 - June 11, 2005 02:53 PM (GMT)
I think that's what happened, he traveled all the way from China to Japan to see Kaoru for the last time. Well that's what I heard

augi - June 11, 2005 03:57 PM (GMT)
All I heard was that Kenshin died from a poison that couldn't be cured and Kaoru decided to die with him. *ish confuzzled*

shirahime-syo13 - June 11, 2005 06:08 PM (GMT)
lol, well thanks for the help, even though I am still confused

Well what do you think of a Hatori Sohma Diary? I could put up a link that tells you almost everything about Hatori and Fruits Basket

KonakitsunefoxdemonII - June 15, 2005 02:14 AM (GMT)
Yesh! I've always wanted to know about Fruits Basket
