Karthikeyan Murugesan (karthikeyan_murugesan) Hey everyone! I'm King. I love reading fantasy. I wrote a couple of short stories. I'm probably gonna start writing my full length novel sometime in the next decade but that doesn't mean I can't be in a group, right?

Hello all!!!! I am Malachi, the one, the only, and the last true Red Dragon, I love to write fan-fiction and things that seem like a mixture between Star Wars and Lord of The Rings, I love the thought of alternate realities, and I believe that all of reality is not only an illusion, but is stored within the brain(God, i hope that made sense, LOL)


message 9: by ivy (new)

ivy (cunning239) Hello everyone!! Names' Alexander and this group sounds really cool, lol!!!
I love reading YA books and writing scathing reviews ( and sometimes Non-scathing) on them.
I also love anime ( especially fairy tail) and I also mod a cool fairy tail group.

message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm Shine. I've been writing my own stories since about 2014. (FanFictions since 2011-2013, but I still do them when I'm having WritersBlock.) I've been writing songs since 2013.

My writings were inspired by Marvel movies.

Hello! I'm Komiko/Zoe and writing is really interesting to me, Maybe a little too interesting. XD I usually write during school, and sometimes in the middle of the night. (That's when I think most for some reason) Also, thanks Aech for inviting me to this group!

Great! Happy to be here. And you?


message 23: by [deleted user] (new)

Hello all! I'm Courtney, a new moderator. I am a cooky sort of person. I enjoy the most random things and those who know me in person know I tend to be dancing around and humming/singing songs, especially Disney. I play trombone, so I am one of those 'band junkies.'
I generally read YA novels, but I've been branching out to a bunch of other genres. My favorite authors are J.K. Rowling, Jojo Moyes, Cornelia Funke, and J.R.R. Tolkien. My favorite book series is besides Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter is Ranger's Apprentice.
When it comes to writing I've tried to write down my own original ideas, but seem to fail. I've been doing a lot more FanFiction ones instead when I do write. I have a full time job and a part time job, so writing has been on the back-burner some. I'm hoping to get back into it some.


Lyd's Archive (7/'15 to 6/'18) (violabelcik) Hi, I'm Sonya and I'm a sort of Hamilton nerd with a love for esoteric unconventional contemporary musicals for which I am writing a fanficition.

Have you read the Pretty Little Liars novels? I started reading them after the watching the show. They are entirely different and I really wasn't a fan of the books, but enjoy the shows. I love hearing people's opinions on books vs. movies.

Elena.M | 6 comments Hey!! I'm Elena! I'm from Greece! I'm 18 and in about a month I'm finishing my senior year of senior high school!! I'm a book addict!! I really really love YA books. My favorite book series are Pushing the limits, Walk the edge, Divergent, Vampire Academy, Bloodlines, Fallen, On Dublin street, Fifty shades of grey and Beautiful Bastard!! I always want to find new books!! I love writing (of course) It's like an escape from reality for me! I'm working on something for a couple of months. It's YA romance! Any way! I love to dance, cook, listen to music, marathoning tv series and movies, hung out with my friends, make new friends, take a billion photos and then upload just one, nail art and make-up and in general I love to do and learn a million things!!

Welcome Emm!
You should post a link to your tips on one of our threads! I think a lot of us would love to read them! Good luck with the writings!


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) I know I'm a bit late and I'm sorry about that....haha...but anyway, I'm Elizabeth. I'm nineteen years old, and I live in the USA. Writing is a huge dream of mine, and I'm planning on getting my debut novel published in two or three years from now. I love YA! I'm always looking for underrated or panned books to form my own opinion on, since they might be good! You never know!

Aside from that, I also love anime/manga, swimming, doll collecting, history/culture, and I'm a part of a lot of fandoms, like Disney just to name one. I play trombone, and partially speak Japanese.

That's all I can think of for now...I hope to meet you all!


message 42: by Wayward Skyril (new)

Wayward Skyril Hey, Elizabeth! Welcome to the group!
Trombone especially stood out, ha. That's really cool. A little bit of a different instrument to play... What got you started with it?


Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛  (pinkhairedwannabe) It's sort of a generational thing. My grandma played trombone in her school band, then she gave that trombone to my mom to play in her school band, then she gave me that trombone to play in my school band. So the trombone I play is the exact same trombone played by both Mom and my grandma.


message 44: by Wayward Skyril (new)

Wayward Skyril Awwww, wow! That's really awesome :D


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

I'm Raevyn. I'm not sure what to say here, lol. I currently have fifteen ideas for books!


message 46: by Medomfo (new)

Medomfo | 1 comments I'm Medomfo.
My parents created my name from a Ghanaian word and it means "God is Gracious to me"
I love to write what I read: devotionals, poetry, travel, teen/ children, historical fiction, classics, biographies and occasionally mystery or romance( I don't tend to write the last two 😊)
All of this I write as Christian/ clean stories.
I'm a teenager who loves daydreaming and writing stories when I can. One day, I'll publish my works but for now, it's composing music, writing books/stories, studying for school and most importantly, serving God.
Please don't make fun of me because I'm a Christian.


message 47: by Miley (new)

Miley (mileydvila) | 1 comments Hello everyone! My name is Miley 😊 and this 👉🐢 is my sexy turtle. I'm from Puerto Rico, so my main language is Spanish but I'm fluent in English as well. I love to read almost about everything, but I guess I enjoy the most fantasy, science fiction, thriller and historical fiction. I love to write since I was little, and right now I have too many ideas! Anyway, nice to meet you all!


message 48: by Riley (new)

Riley (blueeyedgirl1142) | 52 comments Hello! I just joined the group, but I'm so glad I did. I love writing, and I definitely want to be an author. I also love reading, acting, and fangirling. I have a strange obsession with Sebastian Stan and Marvel.

message 50: by Endeverse (last edited May 17, 2017 03:52PM) (new)

Endeverse Hi, my name's Roy. I'm 14 and am an aspiring author. In 4th grade, I started a comic called Pizza Man and Icecream Dog. I've discontinued it for now, but it's what made me realize that I wanted to be a writer. I completed my first novel, Pirates Reborn, on January 21st. I've started the sequel recently, after taking a (too) long break.

Other than writing I like to create music associated with my books and binge watch an anime every now and then. Not much of a reader actually, since everytime I read my writing takes a 360 in the plot an almost copies the book.

I'm glad to be a part of this group and wish everyone the best of luck on their writing journey! :D
