Hmm.... Realistic Fiction, Fiction, Novels/Novelas, Poetry and Paranormal

I like to write paranormal romance, poetry, and fantasy.

Mostly thrillers/mysteries with a little bit of horror splashed in. :) Also poetry.

Really? thats cool. :) if i tried to write historical fiction, id probably kill ppl

ϟEvelynϟ wrote: "LOL XD"

yeaaah. lol. non fiction and historical are probably my worst, just becuz i dont enjoy writing them. im glad that u do! it must take patience! lol ;D

Haha Actually it's just in me. Maybe because I read a lot of Historical Fiction. I just DON'T like writing non fiction or history(like from textbooks and all). That seriously is boring for me to write about. I do like learning and talking about history, though.

i love talking about history, its one of my fave subjects in school, but im more of a fantasy and paranormal girl :)

the kind that can express just about any emotion or situation with at least a certain artistic grace - like Erikson, Martin, Tolkien, or ancient dudes like Homer - if it was love, the writing showed it, be in it exalted ways, or imperfect ones (Erikson, whose romances never really end up too well :P), and if it was something bad, they still managed to write stuff in a way that made me enjoy reading those things... I mean, Illiad, as far as I remember, was gory as hell, and still it was captivating...

on the opposite side, I DONT like the kind of modern stuff that tries to sound too modern, where the language sounds like of the gangstas or lowlife kids talking in a town transport bus, or in some cheap pub...

I don't like writing about modern life either.

no kidding. I'm a history buff. Well, I guess I like writing fantasy too. Though, im all for historical fiction.

it is not the modern life, it is one of modern styles of writing that thinks that using language of pubs, criminals and other creepy individuals making us happy every day we travel to work... even if a work is about modern life, I like when the author maintains a language that makes it readable... see Homer could write about gore and it was still art; a guy got speared through closed teeth then fell to dust and Homer described it in a way that made me enjoy reading it as much as it was disgusting to imagine...

even Erikson - he writes about so many horrors, guts, gore, even mundane eww things, and guess what, it is still one hell of a read because his writing style and language and all give it a certain literary grace


maybe my dislike towards the more modern stuff stems from the fact that I dont drink, smoke or weed, which might sound simple, but it connects with so many things - I dont attend crazy parties, dont do bullshit in the streets at night etc, dont think it is normal to get drunk like a swarm of fish, or smoke the hell out of your brain thinking it is ok, just a couple examples of things ppl consider normal and alright and I dont... and these things gave rise to many works of modern literature where you can in a way see this or that guy took something and it altered to smaller or bigger degree something in the spirit of his writing... might just be me, but nobody will impress me with works about drunkards or junkies, at least not those works where those are bordeline glorified to some degree or taken as normal, as a welcome escape from life

I can see your reasoning and I totally agree with you. I can DEFINITELY read a book that is modern and has modern style, but the author has to make it interesting and enjoyable. Then it's just like so typical, normal and boring.

See, when I want to read a book, I want it to be so captivating and different from my life because then you escape the world you live in. I want it to be so much more interesting than my life. Isn't that the whole point of reading?

That's the reason why I don't like modern writing is because it's so typical. You don't like the modern stuff because of those crazy ass things humans do these days and you don't do that stuff. I can see myself thinking like you too. I never really thought about my adulthood like that. I don't shoot towards parties, drinking and getting blazed even now that I am a teenager. Nope.

Like uh.... A biography but in a way thats like life?

well, Erikson for example, he created a vast and complex world that is completely different from our own, yet the conflicts and all, the ideas behind many concepts, those are some very modern ones, modern conflicts and struggles... and he writes those so well; e.g. Midnight Tides in a very engaging way showed the greed of some of today's world, the notion of indebtedness, the inexorable want for progress regardless of what or who it will leave behind destroyed...

I would like to go for dystopian but unfortunately I am so very not creative so I always end up writing fantasy...
:(

I did try but it just never worked out for me...
I get all these crazy ideas but they're only set out for a fantasy novel..
But I don't know.Maybe in the near future I might at least get an idea going...

Try Kelley!! Then maybe you can write dystopian.

Ok,then!
Go me!*strokes chin* *looks for a co-writer*

Anyone wanna be my editor?

Awesome!

Even more awesome!

I write mostly fanfiction and fantasy stories, I posted my twilight fanfic to goodreads and I'm planning on posting my fave fanfics that I wrote from fanfiction. net since I like goodreads creative writting better for uploading

Oh yeah I like writing fan fiction too.

Lol thats a lot of lols

cool!

Definitely realistic romance fiction. And the darker and edgier, the better. Suicide, eating disorders, self-harm, stuff like that.

Have you written any?

Yeah, the story I posted is about all three.

cool!

I like to write rather dark or sad/angsty stories and poetry usually. Like Ti Amo said-The darker the better.

I like writing horror stories that are fairly dark. Most of my inspiration comes from Stephen King (who is my favorite writer).

I like to write fantasy/fiction stories with a little of romance in it. Usually I like to add in forbidden love. And also I like to write paranormal stories and sometimes horror. But, rarely do I write horror stories.

I like writing suspense/thrillers. Haven't really tried writing anything else. I just started writing regularly so I haven't really gotten far with it. Still taking a creative writing class.....once I'm done with that I might try to expand my horizons.

cool guys!

as for me, I do, or did write a very dark kind of poetry with at least a flicker of hope towards or at the end - holding to the fact IMO that a spark shines the brighter the darker the darkness surrounding it is... although the poems I wrote or write "these days" (aka back a year or so) are even darker, often without a positive resolve, as I myself am struggling to see some light in the future to come, which is I guess natural of a broken and not yet healed heart, right :)))?

I write poems, fanfictions, and fiction/fantasy :)

I like to write teen fiction :)

I like to write fantasy and sprinkle in a little romance.
I'm afraid to write fanfiction. I read a few and now I am scarred for life. It was the third one that scarred me.

Thanks! :) I posted it here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/1520760-... In reality, I'm almost finished with it, but it's saved on my flash drive in a program I can't get to right now. so this is all I got.

I love writing dytopian/science fiction with (a little) romance. I never let the romance dominate the plot, something that annoys me a lot; when the plot and romance aren't balanced well. I would love to try mystery/thriller but i think i would need more practice before i do any of that. I also like to incorporate strong human emotions in my writing. Things like human flaws, deception, greed, andd other stuff.

i write anything i like to read :D

I know, me too agh *dies*

Yay for writing and reading!! ^_^

Romance
