| I started writing fan fiction a few years ago when I wrote a fifty-page ongoing VeggieTales fan fiction, all about what went on behind the scenes as they were producing the movies (as if there weren't any people involved). I've never posted it online and I don't have it anymore (long story). The ot... |

I'm actually writing a book where the main character and narrarator has AS. Hey, SpaceCase, what if in the beginning none of them knew each other, but they all met somehow? I dunno...that's just an idea.  |

| My handwriting at it's best looks about like the computer font on Microsoft Word called "Minstrel". It's small, cursivey and very difficult for others to read. I also don't think that it helps than I'm left-handed. Like synchro, I've been learning calligraphy, which has improved my handwriting some... |

| Hi, I'm Namiko. Well, that's not my real name, but practically everyone calls me Namiko. I'm 17 and from California, which, like Florida, is way overrated. I just recently found out I have Asperger's, but my parents have known for quite some time. Even though I'm extremely chatty online, I have a h... |

| After reading this through and not recognizing most of the names and movies that have been mentioned, I think that Mark from Cheaper by the Dozen movie that came out a couple of years ago might have AS. He is the red-head who all the other kids in his family call "FedEx". To hadapurpura: I'd never ... |

Recently, my favorites have been LotR and PotC soundtracks, Moulin Rouge soundtrack, Larry Norman (he was from the 60s and 70s) along with a few others who I won't mention. ;) Mostly softer, non rap, non metal, NOT ... |

| Oh and I think factoring in your intended audience before you write is a recipe for disaster. The purpose is everything. Whether the product will be accepted by the public or not should be irrelevant, because the best writing is for your own pleasure. You won't succeed by catering to a certain grou... |
