Music: Just about every kind you can name (some rap rubs me wrong).
Games: Practically every kind but sports.
Movies/TV: I can’t stand soups… but I watch just about everything else.
Goals: Be a good dad and husband. Complete more of my series that I’m writing, I’ll probably never be finished with it but I want to make a living writing.

Street Fighter (been a while, and I think it was a movie.)

Tenchi Muyo (Most of it seen.)
Trigun.

So now you know something about me. I’ve been on and off this site for six years or so, but never really joined. I think it’s because I don’t know where I’d fit in with such a large amount of posters. I guess I’m a small town hick. So anyone want to help me out here, what should I dig through on this site? Anyone have some art they want to show off? I’m a big fan of artists of all sorts.

Great to see you finally joined the herd! Hope to be seeing a lot from you. Welcome to CAA!

Welcome to the CAA :D I'm an artist, but unfortunately I don't have anything to show XD

A good way to get settled in (at least I found) was to mess around on the Goof Off forums for a bit. It's a nice way to relax and get to know a few people (:

But seriously, you're a writer? What kind of things do you write? :D

What do I write?
Now that is a secret, heh.

I'll let that out later, I'm in the middle of major things (things is vague I know). Eather way thanks for the welcome. :)

Aw, won't you even reveal a genre? :'c

PostPosted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 5:40 am

Shoot, wish I knew the genre myself. :D I can give you key words I would put in a meta for it: furry, cute, comidy, romance, lite-horror, fantasy, sci-fi... I don't know what genre that falls into. Look at the anime I watch alone and you'll see that I enjoy a verity of things. Life is full of verity so I write with a verity I guess.

Hey man. Hope you enjoy it here. I'm also a writer, although I tend to stick with historical fiction, fantasy, and fanfiction.

Fanfiction huh? On a anime, tv show?

PostPosted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 7:13 am

Yeah, anime and video game fanfiction. I've written Zelda, Azumanga Daioh, and Bleach fanfiction.

What were the word counts for each of them.

Welcome to CAA. When it comes to getting to know people and stuff, I suggest going in the chat when there are a lot of people in there. Another thing I did when I first joined was I just picked a topic, searched the forums for that topic, and read some of the threads that came up.

I'm also a writer, mostly of anime-type fantasy stories that have God in them one way or another.

Nice to see a lot of writers around here. Maybe I should look up writing here.

Word count? Well my Zelda fanfic was around 6 pages I believe. I have not done a word count for the other stories since they have yet to be completed. I've written about 50 pages for the Azumanga fanfic and about 20 for the Bleach one.

Ah. See I'm from the novel writing world, so word count is important. Thanks for giving me a ball park... or a few ball parks. :D

Ooo, you do furry? Nice :D But yeah, I know what you mean. The best type of writing is usually hard to place when it comes to genre.

Nice to meet you Azariah. I can't wait to mess with you on here. XP
I'm a small time writer. Nothing I wanted published. I just do it because I like to do it. I write Stargate, Naruto, Bleach, and Code Geass. Mostly Stargate. I'm also in the process of working on a Harry Potter fanfic.

I've written a few novels, I guess I just never given the word count a great deal of thought.:grin:

I see you're a truck driver. My dad is also a truck driver.:thumb:

Hey there and welcome to CAA, Asariah ^^ I ran into you in chat (just now), but I tend to forget I'm there or it moves too fast XDD;

Wow, that's quite the list you got there ^^

Hmmm, lets see... THings to remember when posting here... :-?

Ah, using the "New Post" button should lead you to the most recent post ^^ You can also use the Quick Links and go to "Today's Post" in the drop box (this will show you most recent post and post throughout the day) ^^

Never grave dig unless you absolutely have something very important to say about the topic at hand ^^ I would say the cut off age of a thread would be.. 5 months old at the most (even then it's kinda pushing it) ^^ Anything one year or older, it's safe to make a new one ^^ Unless, it's your own and you're adding something it it ^^

This thread may be helpful ^^

If you have any questions that you can't find answers for (regarding the site of course xp), this gem of a thread may help ^^
