Food for thought

I'm feeling oddly philosophical right now for some reason. I feel like thinking about what FanFiction, or just Fiction in general means. I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here. If you feel like reading my theories that I am coming up with now, read on. A bit of warning though, it's not very organized, as I write these thoughts as they come to mind.

Hey everyone CRIL and boy is vacation.....different. I'm currently under the fight of trying not to overdo myself with too much ideas (some of you probably know what happened *cough* failed *cough*). Another thing I'm doing is spending time with my little sister watching Thats 70s Show which helped understand of getting the setting for Blossom Creek (can you guess the time setting "hint hint") and having a super difficult time migrating from one pc to another after my laptop commited suicide awhile back and thank ryu for showing me dropbox and docs or else i would MIA. Anyways, rehearsals and other school stuff are beginning to get into my free tome January 2012 so Ill be behind even more.....yay. Hopefully everyone has an awesome new year and ready for finals and other important things that just makes people all freaking out.

Fall semester OVER!

We're on break until January. Which means I now have the time to do other things like work on my stories I am never taking four project intensive classes again even if I found the challenge invigorating. I lost all of my free time because I actually tried in these courses. And it paid off I currently have a 4.0! WOOT I'm so HAPPY! Now I'm off to work on my stories. So happy. so very happy.

The Finall chapters

Hello everyone! CRIL here (aka the guy with the shiny pencil) and boy do I have alot to say. First of all, I'm happy to join The Wannabe Writers and I hope I'll get along with the others well. Onto business, its official; the second to last chapter of Cringe is in the works at the moment. As some or little of you may know, Cringe is part of the Escape that focuses on a group of teenagers trying to well...escape this mischievous organization and eventually fight back. Hopefully that the last two chapters will be successful as the story's predecessor, Escape and the same as the next installment that is coming soon. I will soon put up the next installment's main song I wrote called "Saviors" around the same time as the final chapter which is very late December 2011 or early January 2012.

In other news, Our War Game will reach its end sometime in early 2012 and there is still a chance for anyone to submit an OC so please submit! Night Ember had just started and has already gotten the OMG this is depressing review (i loved those cause its ironic im super happy when i write dark, depressing stories) and hopefully that this story will reach it full potential when it reaches its ending.

Oh yeah I'm also thinking of an Our War Game sequel that might appear during or after the final installment of the Escape series, but it has developed little or no progress at the moment. One of the ideas I might consider is having new characters, new scenario, and the same Sigma Six. Since it is still undetermined, I really cannot say much at the moment. Speaking of new stories, I have about three under the process (either typing and/or in the beginning stages) that one is planned to appear in January/February 2012 on Fanfiction and another in December 2011 or January 2012 on DeviantArt.

Procastination is bad

Alright...I admit it. Now as to what I'm admitting to...you'll have to find out! Muahahahaha! *coughcough* Agh...not sure what came over me...Anyways, I haven't even started on Mirrored Eyes chapter 14 or Unescaped Cage chapter 3. The reason for this is simple: I have a lot going on right now, my computer keeps breaking down, I have really really bad headaches, and I can't focus too much on one story at a time. Now...I know most of you think that those are excuses, and trust me, they are. But they also aren't.

Obviously, I can't type when my computer crashes, and, unlike most authors I don't write my chapters ahead. What I post is merely the first draft. I'm seeing how my style gets accepted, what to do, and what not to do. And hey, if I can get feedback other than my family (let's face it, they aren't entirely honest) then that's great! But it also means that I am NOT ALLOWED to edit or fix chapters until the whole story is written out. My parent's rules.

Also, During the winter months I am prone to extremely bad sinus headaches that often end up affecting my school work. Such as now. Right now I'm three days behind in some classes, and obviously, that takes up quite a bit of time.

Now, I think most of you think that just 'cause I don't work on my posted stories means that I haven't written anything when the truth is, I've written nearly everyday since my last update. Up my sleeve I now have a Bowser story, A Super Smash Bros Story, a CROSSOVER between Mario and Naruto, an Oban Star Racers AU fic, and a Phineas and Ferb/Harry Potter fic. Mind you, none of these are completed or even on that first chapter.

Either way, I hope you will forgive me and continue to read. Or if you don't enjoy the wait, enjoy FF.N. OH AND Merry (Early) Christmas!

Hey there, fellow people! Ryu Dragonclaw here, reporting from somewhere!
Since my last post (Wow, this month has sped by), I had decided to make Revenge is A Dish Best Served Frosty into a chaptered story and I posted the next chapter.

This Apple is delicious.

Yes, it is.

Anyways, I might as well get an update out before I forget.

So, what am i going to talk about today?

1. Back home
2. FictionPress and Updates
3. Kirby story?

So, let's start!

I'VE HAD IT.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I mean it with all my heart. Reviewers who review my story should review every chapter and give me feedback. Instead, some people decide to wait for Reviews to the Smashers and submit their questions... and LEAVE. Is my story a place where you can just dump your questions and ditch me? Absolutely not! I've dealt with this for many months, tracing back to when We are the Smashers 1 started. Now, thanks to another review, I can take it no longer. I am forced to REMOVE RTTS FROM THE AIR FOR ONE EPISODE. I'm sorry to have to do this to my fans and to those who actually give me feedback, but it must be done. You don't know the barrage of emotions I received when I finalized my decision. Anger. Sadness. Weariness. Hatred. There was an anger burning inside me that I never knew existed. I could not hold it back, and now I have canceled RttS for one episode after Chapter 20. After doing so, I have been reduced to this shaking wreck that can't even control his emotions. I hope all you reasonable people understand my desperate situation. It's my decision. It's final, and it will be done.

You think I'm mad now? You should have seen the conversation between me and my betas.

How does one force thoughts through cement?

Not very easily I assure you. I've sicker than a dog for 6 weeks sad thing is I cannot miss school because it's final's week an i need to be there to pass which is quite painful. i pass out when i get home so I've forgotten to post so here is a post. i'm just glad i'm still managing to pass my classes with the absences I've accumulated. funny thing is when i get really sick my nose starts bleeding a lot which really freaks the people at school out. especially when i don't react to it because don't even notice my nose is bleeding. Eh 'm gong to go lay back down now cause thinking of things to type makes my brain HURT.

Feeling better now.

Yeah, like the title says, feeling much better now. Though my interest in writing's still low, I have taken up drawing instead. I already have made logos of the groups that are going to be used in my stories, and character pics may follow soon after. It doesn't mean that I'll give up writing entirely. I'll still work on them, though updates are slower that what they are as of now, so I'm sorry for a severe lack of updates to them.

Autopilot

Ever since Aleron revealed to us how he was feeling over Skype, I feel like I've been on autopilot. I can't focus on anything for more than a few minutes, I feel down all the time, and I was even literally worried sick last night. Like I said to him in my comment, I'm worried. I know how easy it is when you feel like that to see everything as a potential way to end your life. And I know from experience that people don't commit suicide because they want to die. They do it because they don't want to live. Because they don't see any reason to keep pushing forward in life. Because they just can't stand the pain anymore. I just want Aleron to get through this, and if you're reading this Aleron, please know that none of what I'm going through right now is your fault. I just need to tell someone before I go completely insane. This isn't something you have to go through alone. We are all here for you. I can't stress that enough.

I think I need help...

Several things to say...

1. Interest:

My interest in writing has been on a steady decline recently, and that isn't the only thing that's been going down. I've been losing interest in video games, my favorite hobby, as well. In response to the first segment, I've also found myself sleeping a lot more than usual, even when I'm not tired. I just seem to find a lot more bliss in my sleep than when I'm awake.

2. Writing:

If and when my interest gets low enough, all of my stories will come to a screeching halt, and be on hiatus for who knows how long. My stories are also interwoven, meaning that some events in several stories will have the main character of said story meeting another of the characters. This is a bad move on my part since I have to plan way ahead for the events to unfold correctly, and as such go through hell trying to correct even the tiniest mistake. The plot bunnies are also constantly biting me, adding even more stress to what I currently have. Having thirteen stories, and however so many one-shots, is a massive load, even for me.

3. Daily Life:

I'm having to put up with a control-nut sister, who is two years younger than me, that pretty much bites my head off for even the simplest mistake. That pretty much puts a limit on what I can do. She even goes as far as limiting on how much I can eat of something she makes. I also get accused of some things I didn't even do at times, pushing me even further. Not only that, but the 'scars' on my mind keep popping up. Personally, I hate horror movies, and if I happen to walk in while my sis is watching a particularly horrific part, that scene is stuck there forever, making it hard for me to sleep at times. Worse yet, she won't turn it off even when I have to eat. My family has a rule that we can't eat anywhere else other than the kitchen and dining room, yet my sis doesn't give two shits about it, and when said horror movies are on, I have to risk punishment just so that I can eat and don't get another mental scar.

God....I really do need help....
