 FreakierThanThouOnly because it was funnier than the comics or anything else I'd done. But don't worry, it wasn't your fault. :) Yes, it was grim. Sure, or KatFran, or whatever. Kat's my real name, Fran's a nickname made up from my username. FReAkierthaNthou. Capitialized letters are the ones being used. Okay... I might switch a couple of times. Where's So Cal come from?
|
|||
 Oceans of MercuryYes well, I try. My condolences go out to you on this grey sunday filled with hollow comics filled with favorite cartoons but unfunny stories. If I could have, I wouldve sent mine your way, they were rather amusing. So Cal because I was born in San Diego California, it might become noticeable in the way I talk if you watch closely enough. I live in Maine so the fact that I'm most definitely not a Mainer sticks out like a tourettes case in a mute club.
|
|||
Oceans of MercuryAlso I changed my stance on Favorite Story of My Own, I just wrote a short, little over 2,000 words, titled Meeting Guests in the Parlor. It's uh, you know, kind of violent and maybe a little sadistic with some foul language that would make sailor blush, but I like it. Read it if you want. Review it if you want. What I want though is a bowl of Lucky Charms.

| Akiko-SohmaName: Aki Age: 17 Location: California, USA Occupation: Student Favorite Genres: Crime, Young Adult, Angst, Horror, etc. Favorite Story of your own: <a href="http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2337373/1/Devil_in_the_Details">"Devil in the Details"</a> You are here why again: I would enjoy some readers. I feel that my work just doesn't get noticed. I'm not ridiculous about reviews (ex: you have to review or I won't post a new chapter, etc), but I would like some feedback of some sort. :/
|
|||
| Oceans of MercuryYeah Aki, you might not be getting a lot of feedback because all your stories are are rated 'Mature', all 'M' rated stories don't automatically appear when searching, only K-T stories show. Most people don't usually bother to change the rating during the search, so many 'M' rated stories go unnoticed. I guess the only thing you could do is change the rating to 'T' and put a warning in the beginning of the story, it might help, it might be against the rules, who knows, nobody is a saint. If it's any consolation I'll read some of your stories and give some feedback, you know, when I'm finished eating this peanutbutter jelly sandwich, it's flippin delish.

| theflyingcrabsareeatingmyhairHey, I'm Flipper! I'm not really here looking to get noticed, but to gather people together who would like to come join my forum! My forum: http://www.fictionpress.com/forum/Break_Writers_Block_With_New_Stories/2203/ It's advertised as a way to break writer's block, but it's also a great way to get noticed! See, after every writing period (a month), we all read each other's pieces and give reviews to all of the members. It's also a great place to workshop stories, but we can set that up when we've got some members. This is a good way to get people to notice your style and get to like it. In other words, you can get favs and alerts, as well as reviews ;) But anyway, if your interested in anything else about me, just check out my profile.
|
|||
Akiko-SohmaOh, good point. I didn't realize that. :/ Oh, well!

| ecwixPenname: ecwix Age: 17 Location: USA Occupation: Student Favorite Genres: SF, Fantasy... though I'll read anything if it interests me Favorite Story of your own: Eh, I dunno... the ones I like are currently not posted. You are here why again: I want reviews. :P Yes, I'm a selfish bastard. Alright, not completely, but that's basically the gist of it.

| Scriptwriter Mika Name: Mika Age:17 Location: CA Occupation: High School soon to be College Student Favorite Genres: I actually like all kinds of genres really, as long as there is some depth in the story. Though I lean towards the darker stories at times, so angst is always nice. Comedy is loved as well. Favorite Story of your own: "Candle on the Water" is the only story I've written so far...^^; But I'm hoping to get my muses going soon. You are here why again: Well, I would love a review for that story. It's just kind of been sitting there. And I would love to review other stories as well.
|
|||
| FreakierThanThou Hey, Mika! I'm Fran/Kat, nice to meet you!
|

| The Toothpaste Fiend Penname: tfiend. I seem to be the only person who finds the Toothpaste Fiend amusing (ditto to eating toothpaste) Age: According to someone I know you should never ask a lady this. Therefore, I won't answer (I'm not a lady, I'm a duck! – yeah, mighty ducks. Anyone remember them?). Ha ha. Location: The big smoke (who calls it that?) Occupation: Being a blight on society... Favorite Genres: Romance - and I say that cringingly (but hey, I'm open - I'll read anything. Even T shirts. Provided they're well written, of course) Favorite Story of your own: Um, Sweet Little Lies. I guess. It has its funny/utterly weird moments. Meh. At least I had fun writing it. (It doesn't sound very good does it?) You are here: because I'm sick of seeing stories with hardly any reviews that deserve more...I'll stop there before I start ranting. And I actually do want to branch out into other genres, so here's probably a good place to start. It may just be me, but I noticed that romance stories tend to have more reviews, and seem to be more popular in general. The lyrics section has some great stuff by the way Sorry if this makes no sense. I've got a stinking headache. I think living off cereal for a week isn’t a good idea :)
|
|||
| FreakierThanThou Yes, you are, Reegs. Nice to meet you. Same goes for Toothpaste Fiend (I actually do find that amusing... although it doesn't make much sense) and Ligeia. Welcome!
|
|||
| Ligeia de Valois Thank you!
|
|||
| Dr. Vox Name: Dr. Vox Age: 18 Location: USA Occupation: Professional Eater/Sleeper Favorite Genres: satire, dystopias, dark humor Favorite Story of your own: Blackout You are here why again: for the chance I might meet some nice friends here, and...the occasional review. ;)
|
|||
| FreakierThanThou Hey, Vox, welcome! And is anyone else doing the greeter thing anymore, or did I win?
|
|||
| MySunshine Name: MySunshine Age: 18 Location: Germany Occupation: high school student Favorite Genres: Romance particularly. Otherwise, no real favorite Favorite Story of your own: uh ...

| rassoodock Name: rassoodock (but i also respond to zoe) Age: they say 16, but they also lost my birth certificate. Location:across the street from an ex-crack house in pennsylvania. that is quite a literal description, might i add. Occupation: writer/photographer/student Favorite Genres: romance, drama, angst, horror, humor Favorite Story of your own: orange. it's my only child. You are here why again: because my mommy and daddy loved each other very much and decided they wanted to have babies. and all that stuff about reviews.

| Arianna Sterling Name: Arianna Sterling/Era Age: 15 Location: Toledo, OH Occupation: High school student trying to not die in accelerated math Favorite Genres: Fantasy, romance, young adult, mystery, suspense, thriller, horror, humor- everything, basically Favorite Story of your own: The Storyteller You are here why again: Because everyone needs reviews- besides, I've been meaning to join this for ages, and it helps that some people from the RG are here, so I know people. ^.^ My goal is to hit 100 reviews, from the RG and now this- am I the only one that noticed that stories with more reviews tend to attract people, because having a lot of reviews seems to say that it's good? Exactly.
|
|||
| FreakierThanThou For me, the introduction thread is an un-introduction thread. Life's getting complicated, and I don't think I'm going to be able to contribute anything to this group, so I guess I'm quitting. Sorry, and hope you guys get the Revolution back on its feet. See you.
