For the past few years, I've done TF fan-fic as a way to practice different elements of writing and hone my skills. It's more of a hobby than anything else. Right now, my main focus is on getting some novellas I've written (originals) published professionally. Some of the more trollish regulars have been looking for excuses to make fun of me practically ever since I started posting. They picked up on what I was writing and started bashing me with it, instantly assuming that I was somehow a pervert or a freak. When said trolls have nothing better to throw at me, they'll dredge it back up. Thing is, only a small handful of people here have actually read any of the fan-fic I've written aside from one single satire piece, and no one has had the guts to even try my novellas. Oh Sky, Sky, Sky... that attitude is wrong to have. I'd actually love to read any of your novellas, post them, be warned though I'm harsh with my criticism, so post away, put your money where your mouth is. Don't assume we haven't got the guts, post it. I'm willing to read it as I'm somewhat of a writer myself, more of the poetry for now. So yes, post and I'll review. Sky is lying on many accounts here. 1/. It hasn't honed his skills. 2/. We left him well alone until it became apparent he was an unapologetic, demented, pathological liar with a narcissist complex and a chronic aversion to reality. 3/. The trollish regulars according to the poll are You, Troy, Carico, BCF pre banning, Ryan, Defensor Fidei, Beowulf and some that have fallen into ignominy. If they're laughing at your feeble crap you've really hit bottom sunshine! Not to mention, regulars here assumed he was a pervert and a freak because of his ubersexist, banal, talentless, derived, hackneyed, vomitous, misogynistic drivel long before he ever posted his ubersexist, banal, talentless, derived, hackneyed, vomitous, misogynistic Hasbro rip-off drivel that made us want to stab our eyeballs with forks. I am not kidding! It is that bad! You thought those 'posters' of his were unimaginably crap, just wait!

Don't assume we haven't got the guts, post it. I'm willing to read it as I'm somewhat of a writer myself, more of the poetry for now. PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the first one; if you like it, I'll send you #2 (I'm still working on the subsequent ones). I'd rather not post anything yet as some publishers are pretty uptight about what counts as "previously published." The base premise, as noted in the "Twilight" thread in the old Flame forum (which is where people did indeed inform me that they didn't want to bother reading anything), is me taking the piss out of some of the different types of "fantasy" that have been popular over the past 10+ years by showing how things would actually work, both comedicaly and dramatically. For example, the all-mighty sage character (an FBI agent who used to be special forces) is an asshole at times because he knows that nobody will say or do anything to him; mages know that as a sage he's no one to be messed with, other sages don't like to do sage-on-sage fights because of how destructive they can be, and enough non-mages know of his overt reputation (vols. 3 & 5 will have him stating that in his special forces days he actively committed war crimes such as torturing enemy soldiers; it's up to the reader to decide if he's telling the truth or not) to leave him alone. Likewise, the unlucky everydude character at the heart of the series is a cynical wise-ass with mercenary tendencies and a definite temper because his co-workers are either lazy, ignorant, or both and depend on him for cover whenever things go wrong

No, if you read the old thread you'd see where I stated that I had to impose several rules on the universe I'm creating just to prevent something like "Twilight" from happening. Such as the fact that vampires and other such mythical creatures (if they even did exist) are long-since extinct and trying to create new ones is a sure-fire way to get yourself killed in any number of horrific methods should your fellow mages discover what you're doing.

I think I need somebody to translate. Just, what? I know what all these words mean, but what?

Come on, I know it's sky and all, but chill a bit. He didn't defend twilight and he is talking about his own books which as far as I know nobody here has read. If his writing is as bad as Julian is making it out to be, I promise I'll retract this comment. So sky, would you mind emailing me a copy as well? My email is in my profile.

I think I need somebody to translate. Just, what? I know what all these words mean, but what? One of the rules of the universe is that as mages are a decided minority, the long-standing fear of what the non-mage population might do to them and what corrupt mages might do to the non-mages has forced a masquerade in place; mages are largely obligated to keep the existence of real magic in the world a secret, and anyone deemed a risk to the masquerade may find themselves dead. A running plot element is that said FBI agent knows that the masquerade is bollocks since most world governments already know about things to some capacity or another, and so he's trying to subvert the masquerade as much as he can.

What is it with fundies and Transformer porn? The resident fundie on another board I used to visit was something of a fan of that dubious pursuit as well. I know you're not her because she at least had a decent grasp of English. For the past few years, I've done TF fan-fic as a way to practice different elements of writing and hone my skills. It's more of a hobby than anything else. Right now, my main focus is on getting some novellas I've written (originals) published professionally.

Thing is, only a small handful of people here have actually read any of the fan-fic I've written aside from one single satire piece, and no one has had the guts to even try my novellas. This is right... except for all the stuff you said... Trolls? you dare to speak of trolls my fundie friend? That's rich. At least your detractors and there are a lot of them, not like it's some exclusive club of two people mind you, address you directly instead of making vague insinuations and ignoring the bulk of what is said to you. TROLLS start infammatory threads and don't address criticism. But then you know that, and you won't respond to this, so let's move on to your next grand failure. No one has had the guts to finish one of your novellas? LOL! I read some of your fanfic, we don't have the stomach for more. I don't need to watch OJ simpson lose his temper putting together an airplane model to know he wouldn't make a good babysitter! You are so full of yourself its a near riot. "Persecution! Persecution!" LOL!

Gah... I should keep in mind that if you post, you will fail. I shoulda read your drival ahead of time in order to concentrate you faults to one post. for taht I aplogize... to everyone else, not you. One, you are using the elements of vampires etc., another rip off on your part. Two, you just pointed out that vampires don't exist but then imply that magicians do. Yes, sky, there is just a couple of "trolls" who pick on you for no reason whatsoever, right? Dream on, it's because you sound like you're five years old you fundie flunkie.
