Post by Trekdestroyer »

Well I have considered writing a fanfic to show off my creativity so I need your opinion whether or not I should do this.

If you want to write one, go for it.

If not, don't.

The choice is entirely up to you.

You should make up your own mind. You'll have plenty of critics here and others to help you refine your skills and we'll all be more than happy to let you know if you should seek other hobbies. Give it a shot and see what happens.....

By the way your second sig is idiotic.

Before you write a fanfic or any story be sure about whether you have the persistence to finish it.

Okay, now to be serious.

By all means, write it - if you, as I agree with my comrades, have the willpower to finish it. I, for one, have put most of my other fanfics on hold pretty much indefinitely so that I can work on my Trek/Wars crossover. I am determined to finish it, yet it is not easy, especially with the ammount of ideas and subplots I keep bringing in (my fault :lol:).

I wish you good luck either way.

Emphasis mine. You've been breaking various and old board policies in a poor attempt to become popular here quick. It's not going to work. Basicly, your being a poser.

Well I doubt I am a moron. I had been contributing to this board for a long time. Other posters in this age group like Hemlock, Ace Pace,ShroomMan have also contributed much more than you did.

Okay...

1. He did say VAST MAJORITY...not ALL.

2. Before touting your ego...it helps to know not everyone with a low post count and new date is always a n00b.

For future reference, guys...LAM was once known here as Evil Sadistic Bastard.

He outdates many of you by a good margin.
