Long time, no see!
I can't believe how long it's been since I visited this place. I should be ashamed of myself, but sadly shame is not one of those emotions I feel. ;) So, since it's been ... a really long time, I should probably reintroduce myself.
Hi, my name is Morgan. 1. What do you do? (Hobbies, job) -- I'm an author. Seriously, I write books for a living. I do photo-manipulation and make visual novels for hobbies. [i]2. Where are you from? -- I'm from Connecticut (New England, USA,) but I currently live in North Carolina. 3. Who is your favorite author? -- CJ Cherryh. She writes brilliant sci-fi. She writes high fantasy too, but I prefer her sci-fi. The research she puts into her world-building is mind-blowing. 4. What are your favorite films? -- 'From Hell', 'Matrix', 'Ravenous', 'Sweeny Todd', 'Nightmare Before Christmas', 'Pitch Black', 'Serenity', 'Serpent & the Rainbow', 'Angel Heart'. 5. What music do you want played at your wedding? -- Been there. Done that. Not going there again. I prefer to live in sin, thank you very much. 6. At your funeral? -- Wumpscut's 'Wreath of Barbs' 7. This IS a gothic website, so... how do you want to die? -- Deep in the woods during a snowstorm. 8. What kind of casket would you want? -- Plain pine. Something that burns easily. 9. What's your FAVORITE outfit? -- I have a very full-skirted, floor-length, beaded gown in pitch black with pearl buttons from throat to hem. 10. What's one thing you miss about being a little kid? -- Not having to pay bills. That's the ONLY thing I miss about my childhood. Everything else sucked. Seriously. 11. Your favorite bands? -- Wumpscut, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Poe 12. What kind of education do you have? What is/was/will be your major? -- I graduated high school. (Never going to college didn't stop me from becoming an author. In fact, I think it Helped.) 13. Why did you join? -- Because I'm Goth. 14. If the first 13 questions didn't give it away. What is your gender? -- Female. |
My my you certainly are one of our older members, while unfortunately little remains of our older population(we still have Capt Sterrn for example) we have had countless people come and go over the years since your last post. I hope you find some other recognizable names as well (its never fun to return someplace merely to find you dont recognize anyone). Obviously I wasnt around back in 2006 but I shall welcome you all the same... welcome.

Welcome home, honored Elder Goth! It looks like your last post prior to coming back was four months before I joined in August of 2006, so you must have left during The Exodus of The Great Banning. You must share history with our mindshare oh revered one! What stories you must be able to tell!

-- Actually, I missed The Exodus of The Great Banning. There was a seriously ugly flame war going on that spanned almost the entire board. From what I understand, The Great Banning was the a purge to get rid of the main trouble makers who were using multiple identities. It didn't help that some of the upper Admins were involved. In fact, the site went through a...change in ownership during that period. Shortly after I ducked out to avoid the gunfire splatter from the witch-hunt, my writing career took off like a body doused in gasoline. I didn't have much time to spare to come back here. Anyway, I'm back and happy to offer writing advice if anybody wants it. (BTW, how the heck do I set my signature? The FAQ says it's on the Edit Profile, but I just don't see it. Do I need new glasses, again?) Quote:

Welcome back.

Also, you write "Dark Erotica". So what, you read through Twilight, said "hey, I have a grain of rice worth of talent, so if I put more sex in this, people will buy this shit!" I mean, that's like.... I dunno, Mel Gibson calling himself a cinematographer...

Let's see what you've written before you'll offer "writing advice," eh?
|
...I'm just gonna have to make fun of you, aren't I. :-/
Damn shame... damn shame indeed. |

I published my first novel in 2002, years before Twilight came out. I have quite a few novels out these days. I'll never be rich, but it does pay the rent. |

There's a serious disconnect here. |
You can have this one, Ophie.

-- Darlin', perfect spelling and grammar doesn't mean you can write a story. Just as lousy spelling doesn't mean you can't. It just means your editor has to do a bit of overtime. |

What about your stories? Before you say things like, "yah, I actually write books for a living" and offer writing advice, let's see your stories. Stories or GTFO. |

(Tick-tock, tick-tock...) Oops... Just as a warning; you're Not better than I am, by a long-shot. Your own posts are proof of that. Shall I post a few of the juicer examples? Quote:

What about your stories? Oh wait, you don't have any stories posted. The only thing you know how to write are insults, and you're not even particularly good at that. I bet you have a great deal of trouble keeping friends -- and jobs. Quote:

I'm only 15, lol. My badsies! I think I was only jealous because I really want to write dark erotica, but it never turns out any good at all. Humph! |
Well that went down hill rather quickly
