                <description><![CDATA[ I was thinking the other day about how myself and a lot of people I know are just teenagers. And the fact that we're existing at this age in the new millenium. In the year 2009. To think, there's been billions of humans on this planet before all of us, and right now all of us living have reached the time period of two thousand years. <br /><br />Can you believe humanity has come that far? To think, all the things and all the people and civilizations before us, shaping up who we are today, but only in the past few generations have we made things capable of impacting the whole world simultaneously, like the internet.<br /><br />And if anyone in this generation becomes famous, they become immortalized. So many things have become revolutionary right before, around, or after the year 2000; all the new technology, all the new discoveries, it's crazy! Many years from now people will look back at this historical moment in time in education and in their daily lives the way we look at things like the Rennaisance and revolutions of several countries and much more. I just can't believe that of all the time periods to be born, it was THIS time. Makes me feel special somehow.<br /><br />Ain't it crazy?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everybody. I know nobody likes a complainer so I'll just try and keep this short and to the point.<br /><br />Before anyone asks, progress on things for the Remiel animation are still in tow. All the major characters have VAs and I'll be looking for those on minor roles. However there are some places I want to look first before I go asking around to other people, so I'm sorry to anyone who wanted to ask me for a role. <br /><br />Anyhow, the main point is, I was diving deep into my mind the other day trying to grasp a strong inspiration for the script. I hit something hard, but at the same time it resurfaced a deeply personal problem that I don't think I've ever truly gotten over, so I am feeling depressed.<br /><br />Just so you know if I don't talk to you or something like that, please don't take it personal, I'm just not feeling very good. I'm going to be OK, don't worry about it, I just need some time to myself.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ An update on what's going on.<br /><br />Tale Of Remiel Adaptation - Still working on script. Things are going slowly but surely. Applied minor changes to the Tale Of Remiel story itself a few days ago. BTW, today is Remiel's 2nd year of being on dA.<br /><br />Batman & Spider-Man - Sadly this has been put on hold but hopefully soon (probably as soon as TOR script is finished) I will get back to it. <br /><br />Defenestration - New project. It's still an if at this point, so I may end up not doing it at all. This will either be a CYOA or a straight original story, probably the latter to avoid being unnecessarily complex. It will include characters of my allies in creativity. If you have or plan to use my character(s) in your works and would like your own to be included, note me with as much information as you can provide on said character(s) and I'll see what I can do. It's probably going to be eight chapters, but the length will be considerable. Again, this is taking a backseat to the first priority (TOR script), so don't expect it to surface at all until that is done.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm stuck at a crossroads... I want to buy just one more new videogame this year, and I'm split between Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and Assassin's Creed 2. I already preordered AC2, but MUA2 just came out and I mostly heard that it was very good, and I very much enjoyed the original. AC2 comes out just a month before Christmas, so if I'm lucky I could probably just get it then (or even just get the money to buy it myself). What do you guys think?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's official: Tale Of Remiel is being adapted to a Flash animation.<br /><br />I am collaborating with <a href="http://dark-diin.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/a/dark-diin.gif?11" alt=":icondark-diin:" title="dark-diin"/></a> in it's creation. I'm writing a script-in-progress designed to be mostly faithful to the original version, while including important elements from the rewrite I've been developing for several months which has yet to see an expected release date. The two of us already have most of the necessary basics, such as (obviously) an animator and (obviously) a writer, as well as some voice actors and a complete soundtrack. However, there are still a few small things missing. If you would like to be of help in any way, please drop me a note with suggestions on what you can offer and I'll see if there's room. Right now the main priority is decent sound effects (bones crunching, bloodshed, gritty fight sounds, guns, etc.). <br /><br />The soon-approaching September 26th is the second anniversary of Remiel's debut on Deviant Art.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I felt compelled to write a new journal and "refresh" my ghost town of a dA page, but found I didn't have a whole lot to write about except the mundane. So, here's the mundane.<br /><br />I got Batman: Arkham Asylum. As soon as I started playing I did not turn off my 360 until the game was done. I guess I gave it a good workout. I wish I could say the same for my physique (HURR HURR)<br /><br />I'm a bit frustrated and sad with how busy my life usually gets, but lately it's become a lot more bearable because I've found some pretty cool things to be happy about, one of them being that awesome game BAA. Keep in mind, I'm not the type who plays videogames six hours a day. Weeks go by before I turn on my systems again, srsly. But yeah, it just feels good to... Well, feel good. I don't mean to rain on people and go "HA HA, MY LIFE ISN'T AS CRAPPY AS YOURS" because I know how that feels. I just garnered a new sense of motivation.<br /><br />Anyhow, some important (I guess) stuff. I'm still shouting out to anyone who wants a voice actor. And while we're on topic, I want to recommend a VERY underrated voice actor who has a decent microphone on him; <a href="http://zombaholic.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/z/o/zombaholic.png?3" alt=":iconzombaholic:" title="zombaholic"/></a> . This guy seriously gets no love. Someone needs to hit him up with a voice acting request PRONTO, because if they don't then I will have lost all my faith in humanity. Okay, maybe not over something like that, but still, the guy deserves to be in a lot more voicework than he's been in so far.<br /><br />I saw this pretty cool movie recently. Adaptation. Fairly old (well, not really), and pretty good. Had Nicolas Cage, who I love as an actor. It was about a screenwriter struggling with writer's block while trying to adapt a New York Times Bestseller to film - a book that has no coherent plot. I found it very touching and amusing. Cage's voiceovers were absolutely hilarious and echoed that movie The Weather Man. Being an (often) blocked writer myself I could totally empathize with his frustrations and found myself ROFLing at his hardest trials because I felt like it was a perfect reflection of me. <br /><br />I know there tends to be a split love/hate fanbase for Nicolas Cage. I personally think he's a wonderful actor who's been in a lot of great movies, it's just ever since almost a decade ago a big bulk of his flicks sadly happens to be mediocre. I heard he's quite the eccentric guy, so maybe he just has an abnormal taste of what movies he wants to be in, or he just has a hard time finding good work and needs to pay the bills. I have yet to see his sleeper runaway Leaving Las Vegas (haven't seen all these classics and I call myself a film collector. Shame on me), but I have to say that my favorite action movie he's been in is Face/Off, and my favorite of his in another genre is probably Adaptation, although The Weather Man is very close behind it.<br /><br />Anyhow, in light of all this cheeriness, EVERYTHING is being put off except for voice acting, so please don't bug me about any stories. That is all, thank you.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, I know I just had a journal out the other day, so you can see almost everything there. I'm going to keep this one short, sweet and to the point.<br /><br />Voice Acting - I am shouting out to anyone who wants a voice actor. To my surprise I've already been contacted by one new person the other day to ask me to voice for a role. Those of you who want a kind of resume, I've been in four <a href="http://unrealcanine.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/u/n/unrealcanine.gif?1" alt=":iconunrealcanine:" title="unrealcanine"/></a> animations (Battle Royale series and Pheonix Wright's Day In Court) and one upcoming <a href="http://dark-diin.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/a/dark-diin.gif?11" alt=":icondark-diin:" title="dark-diin"/></a> animation. <br /><br />Batman and Spider-Man - I was going to write the second chapter last night, and I'm hoping to finish it up today, but I'm afraid it MIGHT be put off another week if I can't get it done in time. This is only because Batman: Arkham Asylum is coming out on Tuesday, an epic game I've been waiting for a LONG time, and between already catering to my busy life I'm going to play the hell out of this game. As for my story, for those who are unfamiliar, don't let the title fool you, this is a hard R-rated crime saga. I'm going for a very dark feel.<br /><br />Batman: Arkham Asylum - I know I JUST mentioned this, but I feel like I need to tell EVERYONE. This game is TRULY epic. It has almost NEVER gotten a score below a 9/10 in all the reviews so far, I've played the first demo they released and it was excellent, and after three long, painful delays, it's finally almost here!!! HOORAY!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I was wondering why I never saw those Chips Ahoy! cookie commercials anymore. Then I realized that I don't watch TV...<br /><br />So, anyhow, some updates of what's going on. This may come as no surprise to many but the Remiel rewrite is being put on hold. At this point in time I realize that my goals are simply too much of a personal paragon for me to tackle for now. <br /><br />In it's place, I'm proudly doing constant work on my new crossover fan fiction, Batman and Spider-Man. I find it a lot easier to work on while still being able to put in genuine effort, but sadly since life has come knocking on my door demanding action my free time to do, well, anything, is largely compromised. This ENTIRE week I've been juggling necessary action with trying to write the second chapter, and I've only gotten roughly 1/6th of it done. Hopefully sometime this weekend it will make it out.<br /><br />On a lighter note, I'd like to (literally) give a shout out to anyone who's looking for voice actors. I've done voice work in four animations by <a href="http://unrealcanine.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/u/n/unrealcanine.gif?1" alt=":iconunrealcanine:" title="unrealcanine"/></a> (Battle Royale series and Pheonix's Day In Court) and am eventually going to appear in one of <a href="http://dark-diin.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/d/a/dark-diin.gif?11" alt=":icondark-diin:" title="dark-diin"/></a>'s animations currently in progress. I have always voiced minor to supporting roles at best, but am confident in my ability to produce a strong lead or at least some favorably quality acting and am open to trying a variety of different roles. If you're interested in recruiting me for your animation/video/game/misc., please drop me a note with some lines if possible or sample lines for an audition as well as an e-mail address I can reach you at and I will get back to you ASAP when convenient.<br /><br />Thank you all very much, and have a fantastic day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Right now it looks like I'm in quite a pickle as far as fixing it and it may be some time before I can come back on. Oh well, I have stuff I'm real busy with anyways.<br /><br />Sorry for the briefness. I'm in a hurry.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Just doing some reflective writing that I guess I'm open to share.<br /><br />The thought of me actually sitting down and writing something is hard, isn't it?<br /><br />If you're a writer, or even an artist of any kind, you may understand how life can sometimes get in the way of things. Yet you still find time and ways to squeeze in your precious art. How? Why?<br /><br />I've spent my whole damn life just catering to other people and never doing a blasted thing for myself. I really want to change that, but it's kind of hard when I established a reputation. Of course especially now more than any other time if I o it people are going to look at it like a "phase". It disgusts me.<br /><br />I guess I really can't get things out there. When I try my damn hardest even in the face of what should really motivate me. It's hard. I'm not going to go into detail. If I do then I will be accused of being some stupid ungrateful emo who takes advantage of the opportunities my life presents. Well I sure as hell don't feel like it. <br /><br />Bleh. This is a mess.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Then a month and two days. Then on June 23rd. AND NOW THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN IT'LL BE RELEASED!!!<br /><br />Freaking heck. I don't get excited over videogames very often, but this is an exception. And it's not just because I'm a Batfan. If you've kept track of this game as much as I have, you'd know that it seems very promising.<br /><br />Speaking of Mr. Wayne, I'm still going to write that story. Actually, two stories; a short one, and then one with chapters. <br /><br />By the way, Happy 70th Anniversary, Batman.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

If Bob Kane were still alive he'd be proud to have seen his creation come so far.<br /><br />In commemoration to the Dark Knight's seventh silver decade, I'm going to attempt to write a (late) fan fiction as a form of dedication for everything Batman has done for me my whole life. I'm not entirely sure what it'll be about yet, other than pertaining to this very special May 2nd (nudge nudge, wink wink).<br /><br />If Batman is your hero, too, I recommend you do at least one special thing for the best superhero to ever exist on his special day.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

I tried it once, once, and it all fell apart. All of it did.<br /><br />I'm not fixing to start any flame wars. I just feel like saying something somewhere and this is it, it's all I have, no one ever reads these or comments on them anymore anyways.<br /><br />I'm starting to feel like I'm at a crossroads. I'm realizing how far I've come in my life simply by existing and it scares me. It's no wonder I feel so depressed. The past few years I've done nothing but whatever anyone else wanted me to do. No time for myself. No motivation, all lethargy, only able to get done what I "have" to do, this stupid school crap and everything else. I'm never going to be happy if I keep on living like this. But there's nothing else I can do. I'm hopeless.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Randomest journal title ever, no?<br /><br />Ha. Actually there is a reason for that.<br /><br />For the first time in jeebus chist krispies knows how long, yesterday I happened to be bored and had nothing else to do and pulled out an old movie I really enjoyed when I was younger. No, not young as in spazzing out over Ronald McDonald (which I never have done, but just setting an example), but young as in like, from, say... Four or five years ago? Yeah, so anyhow, I was watching it. I remember people saying it was a bad movie when it came out, and it had no idea why. I honestly still enjoy this movie... But now I see the cheese all over it.<br /><br />And the cheese had spread to my artwork in the past.<br /><br />I like cheese. Not the cheese I'm talking about but the cheese you eat. You know, Cheddar, American, etc.<br /><br />So as of now I am making a genuine attempt to erase all the cheese out of my work. I will segregate my past work and all future ones, by putting the old, cheesy ones in a category called "oldass cheese".<br /><br />Because not only can cheesiness be awful for some people, but EVERYONE knows that oldass cheese (both edible and fictional) is no fun at all.<br /><br />Which reminds me. Time to put up some oldass poetry.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, lately I've been starting to feel a bit more confident and active. I just started looking at one of my books on writing a few days ago that I never really paid much attention to, and I got a pleasant surprise. The book I'm talking about is "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. I don't know how easy this is to pick up, but I guess it would make a nice library rental if you can find it. So far I'm only one chapter in and I've already run into some very promising suggestions. Cameron thinks that there's two key things to pursuing any kind of art, whether you draw, make music, or write.<br /><br />1) Morning Pages. This is when you get up every morning, and the first thing you do is freewrite three pages. Can be on a notepad or on your computer, anything you can write on. It doesn't matter how weird or bizarre or stupid you think your thoughts are that you're writing - just do it without discriminating or editing anything you write about. Nobody should read these but you. It's an entirely private thing. I've done this for three days so far and already I feel 50% better and am actively researching and taking down notes for one of my new stories.<br /><br />2) Artist Date. This is where, once a week, you become acquainted with your inner artist by spending two hours to do something you enjoy entirely by yourself. Again, this is entirely private - no one you know, no matter how much you like them, should be involved. The activity you choose should be one that not only are you comfortable with and enjoying, but your inner artist as well. Do something that gets your mind flowing. Your inner artist is like a loved one, whether it be a parental figure or romantic partner, that needs to be cherished. If you clear your mind and listen to it you'll find encouraging words. This is what's happened to me so far, anyways.<br /><br />Finally there's two other things I want to share with you. If there is one thing I would recommend for anyone to buy, it would be this; "The Writer's Idea Book", by Jack Heffron. This book actually partly credits "The Artist's Way" as a source of motivation and inspiration. You can open this book to literally any page and do one of the prompts and find something to write about. If you do this actively in conjunction with the two tips from the first chapter of The Artist's Way, then you should kill your creative block in no time.<br /><br />The last thing I want to share is something that anyone could do, whether or not they are artists. It is a supremely simple, yet effective suggestion by a motivational speaker, Brian Tracy. He said, if there's one thing he could tell everyone in the world, it would be he would suggest writing down three goals every morning/night. I've been listening to his program for some time, and I make a habit of writing down between ten/fifteen goals every morning. Slowly, but surely, this has been gradually helping me a whole lot. For example, one of my goals is "I write for myself every day", and now I'm doing it because of me following The Artist's Way.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well I've apparently gotten over my net problem... For the most part.<br /><br />Ugh. I need to clean out/organize my gallery. Full of so much turdness. There's so much that could go into scraps.<br /><br />Everyone can see that I've slipped back into writer's block (for some specific reasons) and that this is pretty much a ghost account by now. I really feel like clearing everything I was going to do and getting a fresh start. There was just too much that was being tossed around during a busy time and now I think some things have happened that demand a change of mind in myself.<br /><br />I'm still going to support those who I've sought collaborations with; this is not a separation, merely a change of pace.<br /><br />Provided things go as I'm hoping you'll all see what I mean soon.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, Deathmatch is back up. I took it off last week because of an unfortunate misunderstanding that I will not address out of respect, but now everything is worked out. Sincerest apologies to those who were eager and for any inconvenience.<br /><br />I'm also going to be editing a few of the profiles for accuracy, and accepting any potential arenas noted to me by the participants (even some by the readers if they're suitable).<br /><br />Edit: Anyhow, I bet people don't want to wait much longer than they already have been, it's been a while since I've touched this at all. Here's the last journal entry I had prepped regarding this.<br /><br />---<br /><br />2/13/09 DEATHMATCH UPDATE<br /><br />Wow, Friday The 13th. What a fitting night to talk about people dying XD<br /><br />Speaking of the devil, I've come to a conclusion for the first match of Deathmatch. I know it's only been a few days so far, but I have a feeling that the people involved are eager to see some blood already. Based on the votes I've gotten for match lineups, the first match comes down to this;<br /><br />Will<br />Nightshade<br />Bennji<br />Brian<br /><br />If you don't like this matchup, you're free to note me with an alternative preference. Those who approve can vote for their favored victor, keeping in mind the rule that you cannot vote for your own characters. However, this does not mean you have to vote for someone else, or even vote at all. Also, last but most important, DON'T PUT YOUR VOTES IN COMMENTS!!! NOTE THEM TO ME!!! It's easy to remember - votes in notes, note your votes. If you would like to know more about the fighters involved, or this story in general, please see my recent deviation "Deathmatch - Prologue" and skip to the author's notes. <br /><br />I know it sounds like a long wait, but it will take almost one week, MAYBE longer, for me to submit the first match; this is so as to give the voters time to make up their minds, and to work within my unfortunate time constraints. =/<br /><br />However, don't fear; I'll be working on some projects over the weekend to keep you all entertained. Have a Happy Valentine's Day, and happy voting <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, the reason I haven't continued Deliverance yet is a reason I will not mention out of respect for a certain person. It's still going to be done, but, I fear, the amount of characters involved in it will be greatly reduced. This does not mean I won't use anyone's characters in the future.<br /><br />Which is, in part, why I put Deathmatch up. For those who don't know, it's a story that's meant to be very reader-interactive; anyone who cares gets to vote for which characters they want to fight each other, and who wins (of course, these both have to be noted to me - read the story for more details).<br /><br />I have a lot of characters in there that I told others I would use, but not all of them. That's still being held for Raindear. Don't know when that will come by.<br /><br />Also going to rewrite Tale Of Remiel. The updated version will be my new featured deviation.<br /><br />Expect things to be a tad slow : / but don't worry, I'm pumping stuff out a lot more often than I used to, that's for sure.<br /><br />Ciao for now.<br /><br />UPDATE: I'm probably going to make some adjustments to the profiles in the author's notes for Deathmatch within the next day. This might change the opinion of any possible votes, but don't sweat, I'll wait nearly a week before I get to work on the first fight.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey everyone. I'd like to say a few things about my story. If you would like to have a character in it, please contact me, BUT I prefer that you do this by note and not through replying to my journal. Please don't get angry at me if it turns out I won't use them (at this point all they could really have is a real minor role anyway : / I already have a lot of people in mind that I've been asking to use), I'll see if I can wind up putting them in a sequel or separate story. There's a few specific things I would like.<br /><br /> - Characters/OCs who are/could be police officers, military members, criminals, (KEEP IN MIND, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE AND LIKELY THAT YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE KILLED OFF IF YOU PUT THEM IN FOR THESE THREE CATEGORIES -- PLEASE DON'T ENTER THEM IN IF IT WILL UPSET YOU!!!) or regular citizens with unassuming jobs (construction working/restaraunt/flower shop/librarian/etc.) (death in the latter category is pending. Please notify me whether or not you would permit your character's death.)<br /><br /> - I would like some work from someone who is a songwriter. The lyrical material provided would be narrowed to certain themes, but you will be credited for your work if you write a song that I decide to enter in. Please don't be offended if I decide not to include your work.<br /><br /> - Characters who have white collar occupations and/or have any occupation in a large corporal business (fictional or nonfictional, such as a computer company, a fast food manufacturer, a toy factory, law firm, etc.)<br /><br /> - Characters who are celebrities (movie stars, musicians, etc.)<br /><br /> - If you want me to include any characters that do not fit any of the categories listed above, there's a slim chance that I could include them in any roles for this upcoming story, but as I said earlier I would try to keep them in reserve for a future story.<br /><br /> - I would also like if someone who possesses drawing talent would be willing to make illustrations based on events in the story.<br /><br /> - If you enter ANY characters in, please give me as much information as you can (history/appearance/personality/talents/moral alignment/etc.)<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Just because I have barely any time anymore doesn't mean I never try to make my rounds.<br /><br />I know this is totally random but I just got the sudden urge to make a petition.

                <description><![CDATA[ Hey guys.<br /><br />I'd put up that thing with the icons but this comp is lagging too much. :/<br /><br />For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about please look at my earlier journals. It's that thing with the "please take a moment" header mabob. <br /><br />So, things are better and worse.<br /><br />First off, laptop has ceased to function. It won't charge. So I have to send it to Gateway. Again. Probably wait a month. -_________________-<br /><br />STILL haven't been given internet back anyways. For no reason. Whatsoever.<br /><br />Want to write more. Coming up with ideas. Sounds like a joke, right? Do you think "Oh no, it's that guy who says he wants to write things but doesn't do a gosh darn thing about it"? <br /><br />Sorry.<br /><br />I have the will. Just gotta find a way.<br /><br />Oh, and, just for the hell of it, if you want me to use your character or something in a story (unless you know I've already been wanting to - you know who you are), please note me with a profile and/or detailed description. Not making any promises, just a way to find motivation.<br /><br />So, without further ado, I'm sinking back into the world without the internet for perhaps at least maybe the entire Winter Break. Bollocks.<br /><br /><a href="http://unrealcanine.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/u/n/unrealcanine.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconunrealcanine:" title="unrealcanine"/></a> , if you're reading this, please hang in there for me. I'll get your voices for you ASAP. I know it takes a long time to animate that stuff anyways. Sorry for calling you out in the open. I just don't have enough time to make a note. :/<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been thinking a little bit today about my writing.<br /><br />You see, I guess the reason I even bother dreaming about my fics and OCs is because I'm always okay with it in my mind. But I'm deathly afraid of projecting it out on the internet, out of fear that it would suck or I just feel too stressed. You see, I want whoever is reading it to enjoy it, but, I'm not sure if what I enjoy and what the general reader (or my friends sometimes) enjoy are the same thing.<br /><br />Ideally, I'd like everything I write to be at the best of my ability. I want to write stories with wonderful action, cringe-worthy violence, sensually invigorating descriptions, thought-provoking dilemmas and whatnot goodness. But, it's impossible to do that all the time. And, well, I'm not really getting paid to do what I love, nor do I really get many views aside from when I beg people to read my things. I don't mean to sound shallow, but, by the "getting paid" portion, I mean, I feel like I get no benefit from doing it, although one day I would like to write for a living.<br /><br />So, those ideal things I have, that's what the dream of publishing a book for, right?<br /><br />Anyways, I'm not saying I'll put cardboard effort into my stories. What I mean is, if I put stories on here, I guess I'll just settle with things that are attained without figuratively opening a vein. I might even write in script format. As long as you guys at least enjoy it somehow.<br /><br />So, I'd like to hear your opinions as far as what you would like to read that I am capable of writing, given in mind my poor, procrastinating reputation. What do you want to see more of? What genres should I single out on? Should I combine them, and if so, which ones? Which characters of mine do you like and want to see more of? Such things.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
