And this is crazy,
But here's my info,
So read it maybe?
Hello! I'm Alice, that's been my nickname since high school and it has been my consistent internet name since then. I'm currently a sophomore in college, working toward a double major in Theatre and Writing&Rhetoric. It's pretty much fantastic.
I started RPing freshman year of highschool and continued until I started college, when life became a little different and it was harder to keep up. But I missed it! I was an admin on a few sites, and it was fun, but more work than I wanted to go through right now, so I decided I'd start again as a regular old member. Outside of school, theatre, and RPing, I tend to write a lot; I've written three novels, and I'm almost finished with my fourth. I was doing NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month), but then I stopped because I wasn't getting much done on that. Most of my RP characters were either the base for novel characters, or they are based on novel characters. It makes me happy. =)
I live in the US, and I've never actually been outside the country. It's a little depressing, but I will be studying abroad before I graduate! I'm 19, 20 in March. (And then 21 next year... whoa.) And... I'm not really sure what else I should write about. So that's me!
Oh, and I currently only RP as Dante... but I'm hoping to add a few other characters eventually. =)
EDIT: Night is also mine. =) I loves them. As well as Reigh-Anne. Who is a jerk.

Yay. Nice to meet you officially. And I officially have that song stuck in my head now. Thank you.  Not that I mind. Omg. I was doing NaNo and I really wanted to go through with it this year and then like four days in some bad stuff happened life-wise and I haven't looked at it since. I've kinda promised myself that once thing have calmed down I'll do my own little NaNo. Because I kinda owe that to myself. lol Have you had any of your novels published? |

Oh no, I haven't yet. I've yet to go through and edit them, pick out the things that don't make sense to people who don't have the story in their head. I plan to in the future, though. =)
I stopped NaNo mostly because I'm trying to finish my other one, and that is much more interesting to me right now than starting a new one. XD

Heh. I started the same idea twice before before I realised I don't actually like the characters anymore. Haha. They were characters I created when I was waaay younger and I just can't get behind them anymore. Then a few months ago I finally had a new idea I really liked and yeah, I'm trying to write that now and in the near future. I hope you get something published though. That would be awesome.  |

I would certainly not complain if someone wanted to pay me to read the stuff I wrote for fun. =) And I hope you get yours written as well!
I started a series when I was in third grade, and I've tried to go back and rewrite it... but I just can't. It's too predictable. >.<

Thank you. I do think I will get this written eventually. What happens with it when, well, we shall see. I'm as of yet not sure how many plot holes this will end up with and whether they can be fixed. And who knows whether anyone else would actually connect with the characters. Though I do try to write them... in a very human way. Who knows. Maybe one day we'll both be published authors. I'd love that for us. I do think sometimes if you've had an idea and characters for so long it might be best to let go or at least gain a significant distance. I know I did with mine. Not to mention that there were A LOT of emotions connected with mine from a friendship that broke down. I think that was partly why I couldn't write them anymore. A healthy dose of emotional attachment to characters is good, but if it's too big of an attachment it's definitely a hinderance. XD I don't think predictable is a bad thing, necessarily. I have noticed a lot of people complain about something being predictable but completely fail to explain in what way. But say you have a plot that is, technically, predictable, that's not bad as long as you stay interesting with your characters and world building and what happens in between the predictable parts. Like say you have: prince rescues princess and they get married. Pretty predictable plot. However, just think of all the stuff that could happen in between and surrounding all that. Haha. Sorry /end ramble |

If we're published authors in the future... well, dream made. ^^
And my problem with it wasn't necessarily that the plot was predictable; for me, I like to write when everything's still fresh. I have an idea of a few events that I want to happen, and an ending point (sometimes), and then I just let myself go and see what happens. The problem with the other ones was, since I'd already done it once, I knew what was going to happen, and I lost interest pretty quickly. For me, half the fun is discovering things along with my characters. =)
I've also recently found myself killing characters... it's the most depressing thing...
But yes! Novels! They are wonderful! XD\

Oh, dream very much made. So much. Haha. I do get it though. I have quite a few old characters which theoretically I still love, but I can't really write. I think it's partly because even if I never wrote them, I played out their stories in my head over and over again.
I have as of yet not killed any of my characters in my original fiction. But, I think I will one or two in the what I'm currently writing. Haha. I'll have to see. I don't like doing it either even though I'm totally one for angst and drama.
