No matter how many seals are killed by sharks a year, it never seems to be enough :D

I have decided to move on from fanfiction, and start writing stuff that's 100% Dead Major! In fact, I'm already working on one, and I am posting it on a private group. It's around onehundred and something pages long! So yeah, I probably won't come back around here. I have to thank you guys for creating an environment that let me learn how to further my writing skills. Especially, I'd like to thank Wolverfrog. Ya stuck with me the entire time, and suffered through my constant PMs. You helped me become a better writer man, thank you :) Well, I wish all of you luck in your future endevors, and keep up the good work!

I always get a warm feeling inside when people move from fanatic fictions to real writing...

But don't think it will be so easy, these are your ideas from base now and they are much more susceptible to criticism. I've read and reviewed so many people who write fanatic fiction and said, "sure that's ok." and then seen their original work and gone through saying, "It doesn't make any sense."

And in case people don't know, I really don't care for fanatic fiction, I never really have ever enjoyed reading one, they always seemed just boring.

And I would like to know where you would be showing off your new stuff if you end up doing so.

Yeah, you're bored of reading them I'm bored of writing them. They are too confining. That story on SSO, The Shadow Demon, (I'm going to think of a better name aventually.) Is what I've been working on. When I'm finished I'm goingt to run through it and fill up the holes and stuff like that, but yeah, it's my first real attempt. I find it a LOT more fun.

I should finally dig that up and read it shouldn't I?

I like working in the confines of an established Universe. It presents a challenge. Lets you make big deals out of small, otherwise nearly unheard of canon.

Anyway, good luck.

it's like any form of art. the best artists are completely unlimited in their concepts, but to become that good you have to place limitations on yourself so that you can learn and develop better

But it also limits the amount of creativity you can use.

T.O.A.S.T stands for: Totally. Over. Analyzing. Short. Trailers.

I wish you good luck. Must admit i'm getting a bit tired of writing fanfiction. But instead of going straight from fanfiction to full on original story, i've gone in the middle.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Good luck man. I'll have to finish reading what's been posted in the Rise of Harvest story.

Ghost writing?

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

Good for you! I've always felt like fan-fiction is too easy to write, and is in essence, for those who lack enough creativity to create something of their own. Not only do they rely on other parts of the established canon to explain the backstory, but they often rely on plot devices found in the original work.

SO Good Luck!
