FAKKU Writers' Lounge

I myself do not know much about poetry, though I mostly came to the appreciation of that through reading the song lyrics of my favorite bands ah yeah poetry is good and artistic so to say~

I think you're missing the point. It's not about predictability. It is related, but the main point is not predictability.

Thanks to second part of English IV. I came to better understanding and appreciation for poems. It's like picture art in word form.

ah...sorry, so what's it really about? =)



to me poetry had lots of symbolism which made it even interesting how a few batch of words could turn one's imagination anywhere =D

That's one of things I love about it. I have absolute control in poetry more than stories.

that's nice to hear, I couldn't really express myself in poetry but I at least enjoy analyzing them in depth especially through the poignant song lyrics =)

ah time's getting late and I'll be having a morning class next so see ya later

Bye high_time

Here's me thinking that it was obvious by the mention of Turing test.

Well, it's about coherence. Not predictability, but it's obviously related. I'm also not talking about cliches and all, but again, related. It's simply about the existence (or at least, appearance) or a well-thought structure. It's easy to be a hipster, or to be seen as off/strange/weird/etc. But to do so while still being coherent is a different matter entirely.

So, getting to the main point. You may claim this is a subjective opinion, and I won't deny that, but I will state explicitly that I do not hold what it as subjective. And it is on this principle that I regard some of your works to be nigh unreadable. To you, and some readers they will seem strange/cool and they enjoy that. Well that's good, but I can't see it as anything more than dumb. I hate to state it in this manner, as it will inevitably seen as rude and condescending, which I'm not really worried about if not for that when people see things as that they will shut off and therefore my point won't reach, but I can't find a better way of wording it without covering it in white lies. So yeah, it's not being a hipster that I'm deeply against, it's trying too hard at it that people stop taking even their own thoughts seriously.

Quoting a wonderful person: Writing is like putting dreams on paper.

I will take it as a compliment, thanks a lot for saying that =D

dreams huh, my dreams were filled with tons of ugly things that would make some people vomit. it's not about trying too hard to be different in my case, it's about accepting my own ugliness and that's how I wish to write, rather than pretending to look beautiful when at the inside I'm just fucking dead~

I don't hate it when people diss my own writings but I don't really look for praises either, it's about people telling to me what they really think, which truly made my day. though to be said, everyone has own preferences and idealism. what I'm telling you right at the first, is just you didn't have to take things seriously and just follow what you feel is right 'kay?

peace xD

Dang High, you finish your stuff so fast. I'm gonna have like my entire summer occupied.

While I haven't read it yet, grats to completing yet another one of your projects!

ah thanks man~

you take it easy while on it too~

Sup bump, writers' lounge. So, I've fallen in love with the writing of the newest BioShock. I really do think Ken Levine, the creative writer, is a genius.

So, how have you all been?

Not much, just picked up Anna Karenina. The language seems normal, but damn the story is rich.

Other than that, narcissistic worry and drool over my own series. Lol.

You have a lot to be proud of with it, especially since it's been completed. I've felt a sudden desire to write again, perhaps continuing an old series I once had or beginning one I wanted to long ago. I've honestly set aside my writing for far too long, or maybe I'm just lovesick for it again. Not sure. Hope something comes out of it before I lose the motivational high.

Oh lol, I was mainly referring to the other one. XD

With my finals coming to a close, and my summer break on the horizon, I can only be happy (almost)!

I've heard good things of the new BioShock, but I have yet to get around to it. Maybe I'll pick it up, though I was never too comfortable with shooters. And maybe I'll finally get to writing as well. Less excuses, more free time, it's a logical conclusion to draw at the very least.

Yo Rice, what do you think of Ryssen Magica?

no one such as rice exists here

purple monkey horseshoe!

Thoughts on a thread started in the writing section that's a communal story? Basically, where anyone can submit a couple paragraphs or so at a time to some generic story that we can compile and collaborate together?

Basically something to utilize for writing practice and lulz.

Pros, it'll force us to write, I think it would be nice to collaborate with most of you, it could be hilariously wonky.

Cons, it could be significantly derailed by trolls, which I'm actually totally cool with, but if that's too impacting, we can restrict it to the writing regulars and proficient new people.
