No. I don't write at all. Well, I could try... but I am too busy learning everything about Arda so as not to appear like such an ignorant idiot...

Glad you'll enjoy reading my stories though, anyway .
Yes, you and Aralyn are right. I will post it in pieces- I just hope my motivation doesn't die because I'm already getting feedback. I'll work at it though; probably I'll write some more of it today.

Good and Evil... it is still DISCUSSING good and evil... tho' way off the question I asked at the start...

Bah, humbug. Your tale of Luhtarian and Glorfindel was very interesting, indeed.

The story I've posted so far I wrote about two years ago. Around the time Starr Polish wrote the two stories she's posted; I'll post the date on my soon, probably.

Alas, we couldn't find any common ground. The question was what we thought of good and evil. Some people didn't think that good and evil didn't exist, so we had to retreat to the basis of their theories. That's where the argument has been circulating; myself arguing against genetics being responsible for everything and Insidious Rex arguing that genetics is responsible for everything.

Not long. A few years, off and on.

Well then, I won't post it.

EDIT: Supposed to be before Coney's post.

My first writing works were pretty pathetic. I've been looking for them actually, just for the purpose of laughing at them . You can edit your stuff to make it less . . . cruddy, as you put it. Revision and editing is something I just about never did in the past.

Besides, as Gwaimir pointed out, it doesn't have to be wonderful to be enjoyable for people to read. I ALWAYS enjoy getting new people posting in my RPGs, and reading their posts, even if their writing ability hasn't had as long to develop as mine and some of the other RPGers has.

Yes, you should have seen my first two stories. Positively crap... But I, erhem, "eliminated the evidence"...

Of course, my family thought they were wonderful... I'm still using the BASIC basic storyline from the second, which I think may have been the same as the first, but I don't remember. Well, I'm GOING to, that is, but that story has been relegated to the end of a trilogy.

You shouldn't have done that. It's good to keep your old stories, if for no other reason than just to keep track of your progress. I was cleaning out some old papers the other day and found a story I had started on a few years ago. It was really bad, but it was good for me to see how far I had come- just in basic writing style.

PUT MY NAME ON!!! umm...oh too late. Darn it! Can you put my name on anyways? PLEASE?

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Done.
