Righto. Well, it seems that most of you are interested in the writing workshop. So here's how it'll work. Just sign up below with the topic you'd like to write about. If you don't know what you want to write about and would like ideas, just indicate that and we'll chime in to let you know what we see as your greatest strengths.

If no one takes issue with it, I think I'd like to write about Characterization. I can put up my essay in a day or two as an example and then you all can post yours. Just space them out a bit if you would. XD

Grammer is probably my only strong point. XP Any suggestions would be welcome!

Umm, any ideas for a topic I could take up?

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm going to do an essay or not, but I thought it might be helpful to people who are trying to decide what to write about if I were to list a few topics I'd personally like to hear about:

Britisms/British Culture-- This might be two seperate topics, but to our few British players, some corrections of our mistakes or explanations of things that non-British types might not realize about the culture would be amazing!

Maybe a 'Getting into the game' or something for n00bs? That might be especially good coming from someone from a canon without a lot of representation?

Shipping/Romance-- Sorta falls under characterization, but would be really interesting to hear about, perhaps? And I'm not sure if this is a seperate topic, but sexuality?

Plottage? Has no one claimed this? It's an interesting topic...how much is too much plotting, how much is too little, and what makes a good plot?

You know, this may be ironic from the girl playing the guy who hasn't gotten off in nearly twenty years, but the shipping/sexuality one kind of interests me. If anyone else wants that one, go for it (seriously, I'm not just being polite. Or feel free to grab half of that topic if you want) but if there isn't any other interest, I'll be happy to write it.

I'd like to write about dialogue and style in general. Perhaps names or symbolism as well.

Ohhhhhhh...whoah, okay I get it now. Sorry.

I would like to write about culture and everyday life, both in history and in fantasy. I would also like to write about world-building in general.

I know most writing advice now says to avoid the 'hassle' of world-building and creating cultures, but I think it can be great fun, as well as very rewarding!

I doubt I have any strong points aside from being posty to the point of flooding, but if you think otherwise, I'd like to hear any suggestions. XD

I claim imagery. And will beat anyone with a pointy beating stick if they challenge for it.

Well, probably not. But I'd like to do it, anyhow.

You might even be able to convince me to write a little smut.

When do we start? Where do we post them? ^^;
