Hi there :) My name is Cate and I'm 25 years old, married just this year, and a student.

I've create a new journal (already very busy) in the last month because I wanted a fresh start.
I love to write in many ways, and I've been told many time's that I'm very creative. I usually have plot bunnies coming out of my ears!
I'm Australian and I love to make online friends. I'm not looking for someone who only post's stories in their journal I'm looking too make friends who also like to write. I'm very friendly, and I love it when people comment on my journal. I am pretty good at commenting on journal's as well. I love my computer because it's where I can go to be alone, and I can interact with people who are not in my real life.

As for my writing, I write both fan-fiction's and original fictions, and occationally even non-fictions.
I write/will write/have written for the following fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eureka, Harry Potter, House, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Leverage, Max Payne (Video Game), NCIS, Sanctuary, Stargate: SG1, Stargate: Universe, The X Files and more. Recently I finished stories for Eureka and NCIS. I am in the middle of transfering the bulk of my writings from my old journal, but I have transfered all of Stargate: SG1, The X Files and NCIS so far.

I have several original fiction story universe's that I like to play with. I have a very unique writing style in that I do not write "chapters" and much of the time my stories will not be seqential. However, don't let this deter you! My writing style is called "snippets" in which I give you a small window (100-1000) words into the story, one idea at a time. It's actually quite enjoyable. I am a member at runaway_tales, and most of my original fiction will be cross-posted there. My latest story is called "The Genesis Project" and so far I have written two "snippets" for it :)

Lastly, a bit about me as a person. I love to play games of all kinds, PC games, XBOX games, board games, DS games, card games, table-top games, you name it I probably love it. I love movies and TV and some of my favourite movies are Anne of Green Gables, the Sound of Music, Harry Potter, The Maltese Falcon, The Edukators, A Little Princess, Dead Poet's Society, Fast and the Furious Series, Scream Series, The History Boys, The Librarian Series, Clue, No Reservations, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Saved, The X Files movies. Wild Target, Zombieland and MANY, MANY more.

You will find all sort's of thing's in my journal. Fan-fiction, original fiction, icons and other graphics. Music meme's because I just LOVE music, community stuff, and of course every-day stuff too. I like to feel a connection to those on my friend's list. I am very oppinionated, and passionate, and fun-loving and friendly :)

If you have any question feel free to ask!

Hello! I started this journal for the sole purpose of sharing my stories and I'm glad to see there's a community like this. 

I really slowed down with writing in the past couple years due to personal/work-related problems but I'm trying to pick it up again. My favored genres are fantasy, though I will try and experiment with others if the mood strikes me. When I was young I was terribly shy and hid my writing but I'm trying to break that habit so I can get some feedback. 

Non-writing related things: I'm a recent graduate. I studied interactive multimedia and I'm looking to get into game or interactive design. I'm a vegetarian, have another blog at a Wordpress and a Twitter account (maybe I'm too into social media) and I'm trying to learn to play the ukulele.

I'm Sonja and I'm looking for creative-bizarre-confused-writers to add as friends.

I'm 24 and live in NYC. Confusion is a common theme in my journal, as are photos, and small works of fiction. I haven't been writing as much as I should, or painting, or anything other than staring at my ceiling. At least I picked up my pen today - even if it was just to scratch my shoulder.

I'm have insomnia (and not the hey, I-have-insomnia-but-then-I'll-fall-asleep-right-after-having-with-you type of insomnia, but the frustrating-the-words-on-my-page-are-fluctuating-in-size-and-won't-make-sense-in-the-morning type of insomnia). I usually keep these entries private, or never bother transferring them from my journal to my livejournal, but I've been toying with the idea.

I also paint things like this:



We should be friends.

It's been a while since I haven't written on here. Never found the time before. now that my life goes slower, I finally wish to continue writing.

My name is drey and I am a 20-yr-old French Canadian who studies Languages for fun (wishing to find some work with it someday). I am studying Russian since 2 years by myself. I love slavic languages. I also like the sound of german, dutch, norwegian, finnish and swedish very much.

I am a winter lover, and a bisexual little goblin. At the moment, there aren't much on my journal, I'll try and write more about me soon, you still can ask me things, I will answer any kind of questions.


but be cautious, By friending me, you encourage madness.

À la prochaine!

Hello!

I'm a 20 year old college student, going for my degree in Graphic/Web Design, but my first love will always be writing. While this is my first venture onto livejournal, I found this page. I was really excited to see writers able to have to opportunity to feed off of other writers and being one that doesn't like to feel left out, I wanted to join in, if that's ok. I don't wanna be pushy.

I enjoy reading/writing fantasy/adventure stories. If it involves a country on a star in another world with dragons, underground palaces, and space pirates do count me in. For me the character doesn't have to always be extraordinary for the story to be, but if you can make the world unbelievably amazing then character will act accordingly. Mind you these are just the thoughts of a 20 year old girl who writes in her spare time not an accomplished author so my logic isn't law.

Since I just joined I don't have much on my journal, but it's mainly going to be ideas, thoughts, expressions, and whatever else I decide to type. I've been banging my head against the wall for a few years now trying to write this story I've found myself dreaming about more so than not, and if it takes breaking out of my shy little shell and hoping for the best from other writers then damnit I'm in.

Hope to pick some of your brains soon, and I mean that in the best way possible!

It's been a while since I've posted in this community, how is everyone?

I write short stories, non-fiction articles and anything else that seems like a good time. I'm 33, live and work in London, and I also act a bit in my spare time. I've recently finished an amateur production of Someone Who'll Watch Over Me by Frank McGuinness (http://youtu.be/iVWw2PqbZu8 - I'm the dark-haired chap), and have a small part in an upcoming adaptation of Tale of Two Cities. By day I publish a membership organisation's monthly magazine, so I have my moments with editing and design.

I've recently put out a small collection of my original short stories through Smashwords and Amazon KDP, which has been very exciting. Many of them have been professionally published previously, so I'm vaguely trying to dodge the vanity press label although I designed the cover myself and even I think it's appalling.

I'm looking as always to connect with fellow writers, and am not too fussy about who I talk to really, the only caveat is that you must be awesome. As other people tend to be a bit more selective, however, I'd probably better sum up my tastes and leanings:

I'm a straight white male atheist who likes science fiction, fantasy, 'literature' and Doctor Who, Red Dwarf, Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams in particular. I speak French and am always keen to talk to those with an interest in French film and literature. I often write in the pub, at least slightly drunk, and for some reason no one seems to quite believe me.

I've made some good friends via this community over the years and hope to make a few more!

Hey there people of the internet!

My name is Alice and I'm looking to make some new friends! LJ friends specifically :) I'm 20 years old, I live in a small 'dolls-house' village in England, I study Games Development at college and plan to take it on at uni in a few years, I'm an aspiring writer, love to read, especially love fairytales and all things related to them and I think thinky thoughts and sometimes share them :) You should be friends with me because I'm lots of fun, have the conscience of a Disney character and I'm generally a nice and caring person which I think helps make a good friend!

I like: trying to do the right thing/be a nice person - it makes me happy! Video games (Specifically: Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Jade Empire, Neverwinter Nights, Assassin's Creed, Mortal Kombat, Portal, Fallout and I'm eagerly anticipating The Last of Us), technology in general... I wouldn't get through a day without it! Most Disney films, tea and coffee, baking, bright sunny days, those few weeks before Christmas where you keep looking up at the sky and wondering if it will snow, writing, reading, old books, new books, stories that aren't in books, fairytales, myths, legends, fables... you get the idea! I also love to try and be industrious and creative <3

I don't like: being alone, discrimination and close-mindedness, feeling guilty - especially when it's from not getting enough work done! People who aren't honest about how they feel, alcohol - I don't like the taste or the way it makes me feel physically, nothing against the concept of it I guess! The absence of a good story... boredom? :)

So hopefully this gives you an idea of my personality and whether you'd like to be friends, if you'd like to know more about my specific likes/dislikes feel free to ask of go have a look at my journal as I'm sure there are some clues there! Add me <3
 As to my actual writing I want to write stories for games as a career, I enjoy writing short stories for fun - sometimes fanfiction sometimes original, I have a project where I'm writing a interactive novel over the summer and I'm also writing a novelization of one of my game concepts next NaNoWriMo.

Hi. I go by Joe. I'm a college student that's been using creative writing as a way to pass the time lately.
  • I'm a capricorn. I hear horoscopes help define people's characters - personally, I can't see it. 
  • I like to listen to indie, rock, metal, and house but I generally like to play pop and acoustic on my guitar (talk about your average cityboy, eh?).
Truth be told, I'm not very good with the whole exposing-yourself-to-an-anonymous-audience kind of thing, so I'll try to keep things as vague and impersonal as I can:

- I love writing. Not so much the activity as the end product. That being said, I believe I read to ultimately be a better writer. Words are like drugs to me, like heroine, except not as painful (God, I abhor needles). I'll come to you as an offering, put myself (e.i. my writing) on a platter - you know, the "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" deal.

- My writing can be vulgar. Who knows where my vulgarity comes from? I'd like to say it's my age, but I'd just be making excuses. My entries can be cringe-invoking if you're a stickler for all that is proper and good. But! As I've given you fair warning, I'll refrain from apologizing. If you like the crudity, welcome aboard!

- I value suggestions. Give me your words of wisdom! I think the true nature of the "there are no such things as stupid questions" statement comes from the fact that we're able to dissect the simple and find the profound if we want to (used to do it in church all the time).

I come off as a bit sarcastic and, for lack of better words, a tad douche-y in my writing (some say in life in general, but that's another story). However, for the most part, the tone I use in my writing is set deliberately, though it'll probably change as I move on from my genre and voice of choice.

I don't know how far this springboard will take me, but I hope a couple of you won't mind watching me evolve as a writer over time.

'ello, lovelies! ♥

I would be Jacey. Activist, particularly for animals. Aspiring author of all kinds of poetry and prose; aspiring astrologer; aspiring Rapunzel (aka a longhair!). Hippie-esque pansexual. Possessed by wanderlust, and planning to move to London from the States. Overfond of alliteration, caffeine, Korean pop music, sparkles, and especially the three cats that run my life. :)

As for my writing, well, I really do want to at least try and write everything. I'm an incurable bookslut, and always have been. (I would cling to books while being pushed in my carriage as a baby, and by two I was attempting to dictate poetry because I couldn't actually write it down myself.) If I had to pick a favourite genre, though, it would probably be magical realism, both to read and to write.

Favourite authors include Holly Lisle, Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Oscar Wilde, and P.G. Wodehouse; my favourite book of all time is Good Omens. ♥ Other favourite books include, in no particular order, Laura Argiri's The God in Flight, Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Wilde's The Potrait of Dorian Gray, King's Lisey's Story, Puzo's The Godfather, Sewell's Black Beauty, and de Saint-ExupĂ©ry's The Little Prince. Favourite series/franchises would have to be Harry Potter, The Dark Tower, and Sherlock Holmes. My favourite poet is T.S. Eliot, and I am a little bit in awe of CLAMP's storytelling skills.

Any other questions, feel free to ask! I'm a Libra, I really do like everyone. ;)♥
