don't worry 'bout it and just have a rest =)Have you had any thoughts as to why you write? As for me, I don't write for the sake of writing. I am a utilitarian. Writing ought to serve a purpose and I thought it ought to be very obvious.
I have said it before but wasn't writing invented to facilitate communication?
PS: You might have read the exchange made earlier today. I am airing my opinion about it.

You can think of it the same way for stories. My point is that by someone showing their tales via pictures/drawings/etc, they can avoid walls of text and gain a larger audience.
We writers shouldn't solely focus on popularity or the audience but the art itself. Self-validation is good and all, but the ultimate goal should be to produce a story/work that is artful and compelling regardless of who's listening. If I ever get published unadulterated, I know that it is unlikely that I am going to have the hugest fan base, but that still doesn't deter me.
To make the long short, like to shrink an erection with the picture of a feminist-
For you and many others, writing is a way of expression and style completely different from pictures. It is using language to describe worlds with rather than let them see your idea in their own eyes. As a personal preference, I'd rather let the people see rather than imagine, therefore, we are trying to compare and check the value of something that is impossible to do so.
Also, what kinds of video games do you like?

I can think of many things. I myself don't write for the sake of writing. More like, I write to express some ideas and to blow off some steam. Or simply just to entertain myself.
Yeah communication.
what exchange?

Hiya everyone! As par to orders from Shikinokami I'd like to interduce myself. I am having a hard time dedicating myself to any stories so I'm hoping that I can break my reader's block here. I go by Ganon or Fox either way works for me. I love to co-write and as time progresses I will hopefully, maybe, have some work of my own to post. Anyone interested in Co-writing just message me and I'll see what I can do from there. I can write anything but my main skill falls into Character creation amd developement as well as dialogue, fight scenes, and sometimes ero scenes. So anyway hope to work with you guys and gals soon. ^°^

[1] I honestly didn't know who those were. I googled one, found the second in one of the forums, and thus concluded that all of three of them were hentai artists.
[2] How so?
[3] It is though. If an animation needs music, it needs to have music whereas if writing needs music, it uses literary devices like alliteration, rhyme, assonance, consonance, etc. Also showing picture of a landscape will like not convey whatever the tone of the passage it came from. Thou can't say "the hills waved their green hair about" with a picture; thou can't use metaphor, simile, analogy, personification, allusion, etc. in paintings. Writing is both similar to and distinct from both animation and music.
No, we can determine the value of anything. We just winnow through a work and see what's pleasing to read (if there is any). Thou shouldn't claim what another person thinks ("For you and many others, writing is a way of expression and style completely different from pictures. It is using language to describe worlds with rather than let them see your idea in their own eyes."). If thou think that I'm going to ignore the story for the art, then thou're mistaken: the story is a part of the art. For writing to be arrantly artful, all of the pieces, all the constituents, must fit together and eloquently compose it. If people would want to animate my world, do thou think that I wouldn't be elated? I love animation. I love language. And it's iniquitous, detestable, contemptible, for people abandon the language, forget about all those words, using the banal Hemingwayan style that has swayed publishers to reject works of better value and has ruined writing. Hell, someone like Stephanie Meyer, a woman who can't construct a simple sentence grammatically, has, insultingly, become famous when she deserves none of it. That's the state of the literary art world. Both a travesty and a tragedy.
[4] When I was younger, I played shooters, but now I play mostly action games. I'm currently waiting for Majora's Mask 3D. Because like winter, I know it's coming.

You forgot that most audiences will say "TL;DR" without a care for even the greatest masterpiece.Those kinds of people will not be looking for stories to read to begin with. Not seriously anyway.

Few of you might've been looking forward to it... but it seems like the Summer Contest can't happen this year either, for which, I apologize.Conditions just aren't met. I couldn't find judges and rewards (my 'sponsor' got problems in life unexpectedly, can't blame him) for winners, either. Jacob initially said yes to the front page, but suddenly went 'nop' when the time came too, adding more to its downfall. The signatures for its advertisement weren't done, either. By my principles, I just don't think its worth being held at all.
I do hope some people writes summer-themed stories, regardless.
A damn shame. I was looking forward to it.

I've never tried co-writing before unless we can count a little story that shall remain unnamed. It didn't end well.

Same here. My favorite Zelda game by far. Yes, I'm getting really anxious with E3 happening but no confirmation. I also saw Zelda U, and I've become a little excited about that (something that didn't expect). The only thing I disliked about Zelda U was all the explosions and the creature, which looked technological/more mechanical.

It is exchange on the previous page. Personally, I see writing as a means to communicate and whenever I come up with a story it is meant to entertain (at least myself). I subscribe to the Confucian belief that art is entertainment or at least an entertaining way to educate. This means however that I can accept Stephanie Meyer's scrawls as art, just the same way I accept Gangnam Style as art and entertainment.

Writer's Block... I am an avid reader. Anyway I geuss here is about as good place as any to put my ideas so here we go. *Ahem* ...Oh wow there it is again. Sorry but you'll have to wait on my ideas unfortunately I just lost everything. Keep an eye out because if I remember them later today I'll post 'em for sure.

[1] No, I have watched porn since I was 14 and only started reading hentai this year. I just don't usually pay attention to the (hentai) artist unless I'm reading a series.
[2] I still don't get thy point. I originally took it as analogy and still do.
[4] No, I haven't. I've been playing fewer games than I used to.

I have a dear, dear adoration for English, and languages in general, and seeing a prescription of "you can't use adverbs or adjectives", "you can't have an ornate style", or "you can't use archaic/obsolete words". That's insulting to me and English, and any other language. We have these words; we have the right to use them. They should cherished not contemned. They are flames that we can rekindle and bring life back to and show, as if on the theatre's stage, to the world if we are just willing to find them and use them.
Man, I've been on tangent lately.
As for collaboration, I don't mind it with anyone; although I'm not sure if they would, I am a little rigid. I must point out my style can be flexible if need be. Usually when I need to place something down, it tends to be simpler.

They are flames that we can rekindle and bring life back to and show, as if on the theatre's stage, to the world if we are just willing to find them and use them. That's a good point, but these little rules have some truth to them, kind of like urban legends. Following them can help people improve as a writer by forcing them to come up with different ways to get a point across. And of course, we have obvious examples like "running quickly" that illustrate why the rules shouldn't be forgotten, but you're right. They are by no means absolute.

Damn, I was one of those people looking forward to it, but these stacked problems are well... quite the problem. Ah well, no point in wallowing in despair. I think you made the right choice in cancelling... otherwise it wouldn't have been much of a contest.
I think I'll answer your hope and write a summer story soon though.

Hope we can work together soon as well. I don't know my strength when I write, and I still have to make my first story on W&F ASAP. Hope to see you more often along the way.

Anyway, welcome to the Lounge, gentlemen. I hope to see you have some interesting submissions in Writing & Fanfiction section in the near future.
And, Rise...
but it seems like the Summer Contest can't happen this year either
Spoiler:
I suppose that's an acceptable sequence of events, though I was looking forward to it.
And thank you, d, for recommending my piece, but if you like dark and bitter, you may enjoy the Halloween Writing Event's stories more.
Also, I would recommend d's The Tempest a lot, even though I didn't read it.
Of which I am so sorry! I just remembered a couple days ago that I promised you that I would months ago and just forgot. I even kept it open in a tab to remind myself, and then my computer died and that's really been taking up my time this week. So, I will get to that as soon as possible.
In other news, I played To the Moon recently. It's on Steam and it's a literary field trip. A wonderful story.
