NTG, dark stuff, and so well written.
There are so many versions of SoR out now (videotape, various DVD's, CD) that I couldn't find the rabid fan reviews you were talking about. Oh well, something to look forward to! Must go for now. Good night everyone!

Has any of you read this? It's so funny!

The mullet is definitely the worst. The highschool yearbook picture is just scary.

Can't have this on the second page, now, can we?
yay Allie, I was looking for it.. usually everyone else is on before me so it's easy to find..
How are you today?

UGH. I slept in SO late--again. I really need to find one of those wind-up alarm clocks... they're SO loud. So, another missed lecture!
On a happier note, I just watched the clip of Gerard Butler on Jay LEno last night. Very funny! His father's Canadian!
What's up with you?
not much, just working.. wishing I was still sleeping.. Not feeling so hot today..
Plus I think I am going to scrap 90% of chapter on and rewrtie it.. ugh..

Aw, feel better!
Writing is a bitch! I can't remember where I heard this quote, but it's how I feel about writing sometimes: "I hate writing, but I love having written." (If anyone knows where this came from, please let me know!)
I really do like reading your fanfic, though!!
Aww thanks.. I'm really glad you enjoy it.. I'm just a perfectionist.. so when I see something wrong it nags me till I fix it.. It pretty much sucks.. I try not to be liek that but ugh, it doesn't always work..
As for feeling better, I'm hoping this horrible cough and such is just due to my asthma and not something worse.. I'm tired of breathing hurting..

I'm with you on the perfectionist front!
I know how you feel with, uhm, not feeling well... hehehe. My room is SO stuffy. It hurts my eyes, and it hurts my throat. I usually keep the window open, but it's too cold for that now.
Feel better, cam. I hope it's not something serious! I have to go get some work done of my own! Talk to you later!
I'm pretty sure it's nothing serious, (atleast I hope it's not.. ) I'm sure it's just the norm..
That sucks about your room.. I'm guessing you have allergies?
have fun though.. ttyl
Cam, maybe you shouldn't start rewriting now, but just try to go on with the next chapter. Once you get farther with the story you'll know better what you want to do with it. I've got the perfectionist bug myself and from long experience have learned that I can get so fixated on some tiny thing that I'm ignoring the larger issues - which if dealt with would have eliminated the tiny things to begin with. (Does that make *any* sense?)
Anthony posted over on the main board a little while ago, if anyone missed it.
Chloe, you are right.. I will wind up fixating on this and never move on.. (so for now I'm worrying about the minor details like the screw ups in my typing and punctuation, as well as a few times I slipped into past tense instead of present.) Did I mention it took me a week to do those first 9 pages, with 4 days of rewrites. Gah!
I have written about 2 pages of the second chapter though.. I hated it, and was ready to scrap both pages, but I think 4 lines of dialogue fixed what I was hating about it.. I'm still not sure if I like it or not.. We will have to wait and see where it goes.. I'm still seriously considering changing it to third person instead of first person. That would make my life so much easier I think.. not to mention it wouldn't limit me on what I can do with it..
I can see how first person narration would be really limiting, though on the other hand, I think it somewhat allowed you right Chapter 1 the way you did - the intimacy of a first person narrator making intimate details feel more natural. I think it's allowable to change your narrative point of view from chapter to chapter, though, and go from first person to third person.
That's an idea.. See I would hate to loose the feel of the first chapter by changing it to third person, but at the same time it limits me.. You dont think it would be weird to switch between first and third person depending on chapters?
No, I think it would be all right, kind of like the way NTG did different characters points-of-view in each chapter. Maybe you'd need some kind of chapter heading to indicate what you're doing.
I'm off to shop now - good luck with your story!

Cam, you ought to make a thread for fanfiction discussion. And good luck.
whoops!!!! didn't mean to thread jack.. But no I'm not going to make a thread about fanfic.. it's not that big of a deal.. I'll figure it out.. Thanks guys..
You could change the P.O.V. 1/2 way through the chapter with one of those separaters. That makes life SO much easier.
easier yes, but it disrupts the flow.. I dunno, I will figure it out eventually..
I definately appreciate the input though..
phew! Just caught up. Adam in mulet = bad!!! School of rock however rocks my sox! Also good luck camerangel with your paper and also to everyone else with finals. ALso has anyone heard the commentary for Slc Punk? I love how Matthew Lillard sings seasons of love and light my candle.
