LOL ewwwwww they couldn't *tell* by the taste? *shidder* LOL mmm. While generally i would agree, Savannah, there are differences in situations. i can't think of anyone i actually hate, at all. i can think of a goodly number, however, whose actions and choices i despise, and from whom i would gladly remove the option of their EVER doing that to anyone else. Most of the truly evil options are pretty gory, but if i *were* for any reason to set about risk-removal, i'd do it quickly and i'd do it wholesale, there wouldn't be a name left on the list. *shrug*

thank you thank you! this is perfect! i just know that leaving updating in the hands of someone with three classes at the high school AND thirteen credits at the college makes it an iffy proposition, whereas i can better keep up with the updates as necessary. Thank you!

*giggles madly*

only problem with having them all consolidated into Alaeha's post, aside from that i didn't *know* that they had been, is that *i* can't edit the post to update Salinye's thread listing. edit: problem solving thought.. could whoever consolidated these threads, or anyone with the ability to do so, edit OUT of Alaeha's post.. at least the links for Salinye's threads.. (i don't know if Rune is planning on running any more or not, if not those won't need editing and can stay..) and then merge IN to this thread the post for whichever links have been edited out? That way i can update them as necessary, since i'm far more likely to have available time to do so.

Salinye has been a whirlwind of activity since her arrival here, and has three separate writing exercises threads in hand. First was the Analogies series: #1 - Fear #2 - Friendship #3 - Hunger #4 - Fantasy #5 - Security #6 - Religion #6B - Rush of Adrenaline #7 - Depression #8 - Overwhelmed or Lost? #9 - Muse Next was the Creative Writing Exercises: #1 - Cliche #2 - Dear Diary #3 - Inspired by Song of Solomon #4 - Affairs of the Heart #5 - Oh the Symbolism #6 - The Here and Now #7 - Look at that! #8 - I am just an object to you And then her Life Questions series to really get us all thinking: #1 - It's all about the music #2 - Alone Time #3 - Qualities of a Good Mate #4 - your worst fear #5 - Superpowers #6 - To be nude, or Not to be nude? #7 - Random? #7 Bonus Question - Destiny? #8 - Look into my Crystal Ball #9 - Peeping Toms Beware! #10 - Happy Thanksgiving #11 - Disney! #12 - New Year's Resolution #13 - The Unthinkable #14 - Religion and Spirituality #15 - A Moment of Regret #16 - Blind or Deaf? #17 - Patriotism #18 - Shy or Social Butterfly? #19 - Valentine's Day

Our lovely Rune, of the heart bigger than her body, was probably the originator of the many writing exercises that have come to be. She developed the concept and ran several writing themes with a very complete structure. Weekly writing theme concept development Weekly writing theme - Spirit Weekly writing theme - Hope Weekly writing theme - Dustbunnies

mmmmmmmmm if i *could* or if i *would*?? the two are truly intertwined. i commit an act of evil on a daily basis, as i continue to exist.. however, if i were to totally blow a gasket and cross all the boundaries i set for myself long since, it would most likely be a full-out murder spree starting with my mother and brother and working my way down the list from there. *thinks* can't really think of anything else that would be worth it.

*nods* *smile and hug*

OH! It's Monday again! (and i think i missed a Monday, too) Let's see, what would be visual enough to give good writing material, but ambiguous enough to give a variety of responses? hrmm. oh! i know! and topically appropriate, too! This week's definition is Storm Clouds

oh!! *drowns happily in huggles* *you*... you can say anything you want. LOL i find, most often, i'm just sad that someone else understands.. but i never thought to find myself saying so much the same, in so much the same way.. it's eerie, sometimes, and almost enough to make me want to check if i'm still who i thought i was! i'm fortunate enough to have two strong solid blue voices in my life. i wish everyone did. i wish the need never existed. *huge hugs for Peredhil*

Ayshela shuffles in with a despairing sigh, nerves herself to speak without stuttering, and tries to ignore that she's stuttering anyway i was speaking with a friend who suggested that i look through some of the older posts for a specific author, as in conversation i had nearly quoted her. Having done so, i came upon one of her poems which is very similar to mine, here, and despite my initial inclination to bolt in a tizzy of panic, i'm accepting the suggestion to post the link here and let everyone draw their own conclusions. Why the similarity? We're from the same geographic region, have the same mentor, similar life experiences.. i don't know. i know only that i stumbled upon Roses will be Roses more than a week after i posted "i see", i had never seen it before or even heard of the author. edit: i just checked the archives and i actually found her poem on the eleventh of october, nearly a month after i posted mine.

Ayshela took the stage slowly, hoping no one could see her nervousness. Appearing before crowds was far from her favorite thing to do, but in support of her friend she would make the effort. Scanning the crowd quickly, to make sure all was well and she was safe, she took a deep breath and began: Broken Pieces Melissa wandered slowly through the house wondering idly what it was that she was supposed to be doing. She knew there was something, and it was important, but she simply couldn’t remember. It was so strange – she stopped to look in the mirror but the effect was more watching herself stop and look at herself in the mirror. So distant, so removed.. it had its advantages, when all one felt was hollow pain, but it was strange and left memory and depth perception a bit askew. She watched herself reach out to touch the mirror. How far? She watched the mirror hand reach toward her hand, or so it seemed in her numb confusion. Too far, too fast – her hand hit the mirror and knocked it from the wall. “How appropriate,” she thought. “Another seven years bad luck to add to the current run. I should stay away from mirrors, since everything I touch I break.” She had started picking up the pieces when she heard footsteps on the stairs. With a shudder of despair she kept her head down and continued cleaning up the broken glass. He came in ranting and raving about the noise, as usual, but stopped suddenly when he saw what she was doing. “You filthy little bitch,” he snarled. “You broke that on purpose so you wouldn’t have time to make dinner. Well you’re going to anyway, and you’re going to be quick about it. You are going to be a decent showpiece, whether you want to or not.” He smacked the back of her head, throwing her forward into the wall. She realized as she cried out that she shouldn’t have. He spun around and grabbed her by her hair, dragging her through the glass and to her feet. She lost track of what he was shouting as he shook her and threw her against the wall. As she crumpled to the floor, curling into a ball in the middle of the glass, she could feel him still hitting and kicking her, but it was fading from perception as she sank, drowning in the depths of despair, alone with her rage.

hunh. no one else going to support this? Give me a mo, found my Stabbing Westward lyrics and i KNOW i can come up with something from there.

LOL ain't that the truth!!! meetings are the greatest ego stroke and the worst thing for effectiveness.. unless you want to effectively put everyone to sleep LOL

meep! i love it. tonight, i really need the giggle. thank you.

well i *hope* you're still alive! *nod* some of my family leaves me feeling remarkably like that. *hugs*

passes the bowl of popcorn down the line, reminding Sal that you can't steal what's willingly given

okay, Alaeha's not back from school yet, so imma take a quick stab at this.. this is the /ooc thread for Alaeha's Quill Quest, which in story-line-concept is assumed to be taking place as part of the entertainment of the Fall Ball, but in actuality is completely unrelated to the Fall Ball posting thread which should continue uninterrupted. The Fall Ball is an open posting thread, each person arriving and interacting as they choose, by my design and because for my concept it works best that way. That is not the case for Alaeha's thread or for her concept, which by its nature will need to be a closed thread. For her concept to work well all individual writing will need to be introduced and only posted AFTER she introduces your "act". Is that a little more clear? Much of the arrangements for her quill quest thread will be done via PM, and if i've got any of this wrong she can correct it, she should be back in a moment.

*nod* aren't they just, though? isn't it? *sigh* *twitch*

... *twitch* *fades away*

welcome back

*nod* i like your revisions. the only suggestion i would make is in the last stanza, i *think* you mean "than" not "then". "Then" is relative in a time sense, "than" is non-time comparative, or indicating a direction of thought or action. mmm. tricky words, how to explain the difference. mmm. well, if that doesn't make sense, i'll try again, okay?

when you've never heard them how would you ever recognize them?

don't breathe, they might hear you, they might find you. *shrug* life becomes a game of freeze-tag the stakes.. your life. or what remains of it.

Ayshela tucks an invitation to the Fall Ball under the edge of the duct tape, making sure it won't get lost.
