How is it that I have only just stumbled across this thread... O.o
'thul, that contraption looks really interesting, although I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to do...
But I guess I wouldn't, not being a part of the game.
Oh, Albertosaurus, good luck with everything! *cheers encouraging messages* I hope you get published!
Myself, I've always loved to write, ever since we made our own little "books" starting in kindergarten. Then I graduated from one sentence per page to a few per page, and then I found myself writing without having to draw pictures to go along with the story, a very important step.
I started to write a book when I was about twelve that was based on a dream I had. I'd apparently made up a world in my sleep. I wrote about thirty pages, then couldn't figure out how the heck where I was supposed to go with the story, so I stopped. And when I read it over later I decided that it was awful and deleted about half of it, and started to write more, but yet again failed to get past the thirty-page mark. Too bad.
I've written a couple short stories, nothing too fancy... and now, like the 'thul, I usually indulge in online role-playing games to scratch my itch to write. Oh, and I've also been meaning to write a play with a cute little angelic blonde girl who is behind the destruction of her town, but it never got past that stage.
A few days ago I tried my hand at writing fan fiction purely for my own enjoyment, which I will never show to anyone else - it's merely a way to explore a few "what-ifs" about a book. It was fun, and now I'm writing a sequel to a different book, again purely for my enjoyment. But after this I believe I'll stick with writing my own stories. I find that using somebody else's characters is very limiting, not because of any fault in the characters themselves, but because I don't truly know the character's depth and what he or she would or wouldn't do.
Oh, and I sing too, and come up with random tunes that sometimes turn into something else. I'm working on the main theme for a symphony about a cat in a forest. =) And I act and occasionally start speaking Shakespearean English without any warning. And I'm making up a language that came from a role-playing game idea... but enough about that. I mostly dabble in different creative things that yield fast, if not immediate, results. I cannot draw unless I'm stubborn enough to get a shape precisely right, which doesn't happen, so I guess I'm stuck with using language as my palette.
