Writers' Workshop General Chat Thread

Fair point there



It's one of those things that will forever be on some level subjective, I think. This overlaps with stylistics (What I'm currently cursed with for the academic year), where lots of ink has been spilled trying and failing to define what literature is as opposed to any other kind of writing

Even if stories aren't in prose style, they could still be considered well, stories. Songs and poems can still have a 'story' to them, and they can even be good stories depending on how the tale is told.
It's just one of the many wonders of writing!

Eeeh, I'm inclined to say investigate what happened with The Wordsmith there. I've had someone I knew hijack one of my forum accounts and say silly things.

Mm. Curious how he now speaks unbroken English.

Should a situation like this happen again (i.e. another troll), please report the post/user immediately and do not engage with them. There is a button called "Report" underneath each post that any user can use to highlight incidents like this. A mod needs to deal with something like this immediately, and if LT, Aether or I aren't around, there are a number of other moderators out there who can put a stop to it.

On a lighter note, Happy New Year from the future! Here;s to a fabulous 2017 for all of us, both in our real lives, on here and with our writing.

 

[Instrutilus]

Indeed. Here's hoping 2017 goes smoother. Incidentally, I have one last thing to do with 2016.

-turns to nearby soldier- Continue with the operation, you may fire when ready.

I honestly don't get the hubbub of hating on 2016. All in all, it was a fairly average year.

 

[Beth Pavell]

Not much worse than any other, in my estimation

 

[Instrutilus]

It took David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Carrie Fisher. That was like three knives into my childhood's stomach. So I'm just biased, really.

 

[Tophat Dragoneye]

Have a happy new year folks, and may we have a better year than the previous one.

 

[Time Breaker]

Happy New Year, guys. Let's try to do some actual writing more often?

 

[Kharixi]

'Twas a good year for me. I hope 2017 delivers a better time for all of us.

 

[diamondpearl876]

Yep, it was one of the best years I've had yet, I think. I've not really been able to fall asleep the last few nights because I've been looking back on the year and seeing how far I've come, and 2016... It's been full of good surprises.

 

[Instrutilus]

Pretty much a horrible year for me. I'm going to be glad to see the back of it. And NOT because of all the celebrity deaths.

 

[kintsugi]

It has come to my attention that the Shippers' Paradise has an apostrophe in their title. Rise, my brethren of the unjustly-punctuated "Writers Workshop"! The time for revolt is now!

...this year has been interesting.

 

[Beth Pavell]

It was a long Spring and Summer last year, I do remember that. May this Winter be a short one

 

[Instrutilus]

Happy New Year from the UK, you glorious sons and daughters of b****es!

 

[Misfit Angel]

What did you say about my mother?

 

[Legacy]

Got an email that I got tagged. What'd I miss?

(And how the hell is everyone? Happy holidays fam!)

 

[Misfit Angel]

You missed someone think the forums devolved into absolute dogshit in your absence. True to the name, you're a legend in his eyes.

In other news, congratulations to @Caitlin; for becoming a mother yet again! (Unfortunately, in 2016. She actually tried her hardest to hold it in until midnight, but broke down two hours early.)

A not particularly fun incident, but if it drags you and @Gama back from the Land Beyond Bulba than it would all be worthwhile!

And congrats @Caitlin (pass them on for me @Eliza Prescott) Clearly the baby just wanted to prove something good could come out of 2016.
