Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

YES i miss Chaser and Jay so much! They were both so awesome to be around. I haven't seen anybody else around lately, though. :(

There are a bunch of new CBers, like CelineBurningBright, and WildWolf, as well as a couple others that are slightly less active.

And a few CBers changed their names; GLT to Sinusoidal Polyglot/Sinusoidal/Sine, Reuby Moonnight to GloomyBear, and Neverseen to Hoax!

yea Reuby is now GloomyBear- but Suki and C&J haven't been one here in several months :( Tenebrous and Opalescent Dragon and Ulitimatuim pop on every once in awhile-but not all that often.

I'm not crying, you're crying.

why must this story be piling up so much more trauma onto my poor kid? I mean he already canonly had to deal with the guilt of his mom's death... why must you add so many more?!

And then parallel Zoe's death with this girl Selene? I mean Zoe's last words are "I can see the stars, m'lady", and this girl's is "I can see the moon". And Selene is the name of the moon goddess, too...

Also why must you almost freakin' kill him?!

To be fair, I could just not read this, but it's too well written and very intruiging and I can't stop now.

Lol this is the kind of thing you would hear at any given moment if you were to peak inside my room.

To be fair, I'd cry myself to sleep and them wake up a couple hours later filled with determination to write my own fluffy version/alternate ending.

Also for the record, I can't with how Nico gets treated in these books. TvT No Bueno, my friend

Oooh, that sounds like a cool idea... but then I'd kinda have to rewrite the full thing and I don't think I have quite enough stamina for that.

And, yeah, Nico can get treated badly in fanfics, but this one was actually about Leo...

(Inkling says "yomgk" yom in hebrew is day, like at camp, we'd have Yom Sport (or yom usa). Time to figure out what "gk" means! Yom Good Kid?)

I was thinking of creating a thread about screenwriting, but then I have no idea if anyone is a screenwriter here or not and so I thought I'd ask here instead, and see if anyone replies (a comment-less or reply-less thread or comment always makes me sad...but another matter) So...does anyone like screenwriting? I'm writing a supposed-to-be-only-15-minute screenplay right now for homework (the fact that it's 16 pages and isn't over yet should give you an idea that it is NOT going to be a 15 minute short).

Oh, and also I forgot to say that I was on a very unexpected hiatus, but now that it's winter break and I'm not drowning in midfinals, I'm back!!! (Interesting thing is, that this is almost the exact time of year my other hiatus was...I wonder if I'll disappear at this time next year?)

*raises hand wildly* Me! Me! I like screenwriting! I'm dying to actually be a professional screenwriter and have one of my screenplays made into a movie. I think it's like the coolest career ever, because not only do you get to write and create characters, you get to see it all happen on a screen instead of just having to imagine it. Plus you can adapt novels into movies and have at least some control over how close the movie is to the original novel! I have no clue about the proper way to structure a screenplay, but I've written down short scripts for scenes or music videos and it's so much fun. Anyway, I would definitely be interested in a screenwriting thread!
