Erm... hehe. Hello, there! Name's Charlotte, but I answer to Charlie as well. Ummm... I've been writing since I was eleven (you can just guess how ah-mazing I was as an ickly sixth grader), but this is my first time joining one of these thingers... Guess you could say my curiosity got the better of me... and the people here seem funn. XD [/size] |

Hihi! I'm Christine. It's really nice to meet you! How old are you now? I'm only in eigth grade, so I'm not sure if I'm all that good, but Kai seems to think so. ;D We're glad to have you, dear! I think we're pretty fun!

Thanks! I'm sixteen. I'll be turning seventeen in September. Oh, I'm sure you're pretty good. I still have some of my stuff from when I first started writing. Makes me blush. Sounds ridiculous. So, what would you say is your... specialization? Cause, personally, I can't write poetry to save my butt; although I did write a one Shakespearian sonnet in eighth grade that wasn't all that awful... |

I'm thirteen. I really like fiction, but I've never been able to finish a story. I've started writing a lot of poetry lately, though and I enjoy it.

I admire people who can write poetry. I just don't know how to start-- although I hardly know how to start anything.
I've tried to write original fiction before. I even started a novel. I always get stuck with original fiction, though. I just can't find an idea that really makes me go all berserkers yet. So, I guess my specialty at the moment is fan fiction, which I do just for sheer fun.
But I've never finished a story either, cause, well, I get stuck. Writer's block sucks. And I'm slightly disorganized. When I get an idea, I chaseeee after it, even if I'm in the middle of something else at the moment. So I have about a gadgillion started stories that never get past chapter three. XD [/size] |

I know what you mean by that. I usually just pick a topic and then go with it. I've done the same trying to write stories, but I alwys get stuck and don't know what to do. I've never done much fanfic, although I did one once. I have a whole, thick folder full of unfinished stories.

Haha, my fandom preference has changed drastically since I started writing. See, when I started writing, the Harry Potter craze was still going on (I remember us HP fanatics were even more crazy than the current Twilighters). Then everyone was all o.0 over the Narnia series being adapted into the film. Now, I'm all into crime dramas and procedurals. XD My friend calls me The Queen of Angst, cause the stuff I write tends to lean a bit toward the darker side. I used to be all fluffy. Wonder what changed... I went from nice, friendly wizards to psychopaths and serial killers... |

Oh, I know what you mean. Although, I have seen some pretty crazy Twilighters... I watch a lot of shows like that; NCIS, SVU, CI, etc. You kind of get the picture. But I like both, I suppose.

Hehe... yeah, I guess I take it back. Twilighters are crazy. I mean, I'm a fan and all-- I just realized I have the book right next to me-- but I don't go all "Gahhh! Edwaaaaarddddd! *googly eyes, drools*" It isn't, like, my Bible and stuff... Lol.
Ooh. I watch SVU, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY-- and my current favorite (like, yeah, I guess you could say this is to me what Twilight is to the Twilighters)-- Criminal Minds.
Trying to write a fic from a crime drama is sorta complicated, and takes longer time to plan, but it's fun. Haha. Gooo... I sound like a nut... [/blockquote] |

I'm a fan, too, just not excessively. Jasper's my favorite actually. Alice and him tie. I'm wearing a Jasper shirt. Haha. I do think it's amazing, though. I don't really follow CSI or Criminal Minds, but I have quite a list of shows. Oh, I know, it's so much more involved. No, you don't sound like a nut. We seem to have a lot in common.

My favorites aree... Carlisle, then Alice, then Jasper. Don't know what's so amazing about Edward... Haha, if I had to choose, I'd have to whisk Carlisle away from Esme... which, on second thought, would be very hard to do... LOL! That's amazing, the Jasper shirt thinger. Jackson Rathbone's awesomee. He guest starred on a CM episode. He's perfect at playing... not... normal people. [/blockquote] |

*dives into the thread* HIIII! I'm Kaiya. (: Or Kai, as Christine referenced me up there. *pokes the top of the thread* I'm sixteen, too. Seventeen in July. I'm glad you joined Quick Muse! It's cool that you're giving us a shot, seeing as you haven't been on one of these before. [[[: It makes me happy.
I watch a bunch of those shows, too, but not regularly. The only shows I watch "religiously" are Heroes, American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, and (usually) Fringe. Oh, and Big Bang Theory. ;D
As for Twilight, I'm a fan. Not a crazy fan like I am about Harry Potter. Still. *blushes* But there is a poster of Edward in the bedroom that I share with my younger sister. d: I want to get Emmett and Jasper ones, too. Jasper/Alice are my favorite individual characters, but Emmett/Rosalie is my favorite couple. I dunno if that makes sense, but there it is. ;]

Hii Kai! Ooh! Me watches Heroes religiously toooo! Right now, Sylar's my favorite. Cause... he's a messed up evil genius. And The Big Bang Theory is hi-lar-ious!
And *raises hand* I'm still into Harry Potter too! I saw the new theatrical trailer for HBP and went all o.0 Although, I have to say, what the bloody heck was J.K. Rowling on when she paired Ginny and Harry up? Ginny gets on my nerveeees. *eye roll*
Haha. I understand that perfectly. My favorite pairing is Emmett/Rosalie too! I don't really like Rosalie individually, but when she's with Emmett, she's tolerable. And Emmett is awesome, so Rosalie is awesome by default. Cause she has good taste. |

awspodivbgtr! I LOVE SYLAR! My family has this running joke that we're all Sylar. Hahaha. Because, well, he shapeshifts, so we all could be. (': It's really funny. Oh, and I have this theory. You see, since he can shift into females, I think he's starting to get a little mixed up on the inside, if you get my drift. Hence all of the PMSing going on in the last episode. ;]
I. KNOW. RIGHT? Damn. I understand the Ron/Hermione thing, I always said they would get together. But the Harry and Ginny thing is...odd. I can see them trying things out during school, but I don't think they'd last. Lol. Then again, what do I know? I don't have them in my head like she does. Haha.
YAYYYY! I'm so glad someone gets me! XD Emmett is freaking hilarious. Rosalie has the most interesting backstory (usually, anyway. My mind shifts between hers and Alice's, depending on my mood); actually, it's a lot like my character's history. Which is probably why I like it. XD And Emmett is a lot like the guy I picture Nicole (the Rosalie's history twin) eventually ending up with. YAY STEREOTYPESish!
