Thanks! (if meaning my books)

Cool!! (if meaning Quater's)

My story makes itself up as it goes. I know the beginning, a bit of what's ahead, and the end. And then I write myself to the end. For me, the best stuff is imporvised and is made up on the spot, as opposed to maticulisly planned.

I improvise, but I also go back and tidy stuff up, not to mention dropping little bits of information that may become significant in a later book.

I meant both really. I've known about KBABZ for a long while, and been really excited about Quater's since that thread he made.

Yeah, I find that improvised stuff is good, but a bit messy, so needs a tidy up once you've written the story and whatnot.

I'm getting my fanfic (found in Off the Wall) to a point where it now has a structure and meaning, and that when I am done with it, I may go back and restructure and re-write everything so it's a cohesive plot and as a whole (as I forget and change things constantly), and may actually make it, like, 'official', as an Outcast story, despite being impossible in the actual Outcast story (as it's in a fictional world, with character meeting who are normally over 5,000 years apart).

The fanfic has been great learning for me as it gives me the opportunity to develop characters and ideas without writing the story itself. For instance, the Love Crystal, Scythe's lighter side and relationship, and the Urn culture, all originated in the fanfic which I have now added into my story. I'd recommend it as a useful technique for developing characters.

Plus, it's fun to do a 'what if?' scenario with characters. Who wouldn't want team them up like in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game? (Han Solo and Darth Maul!)

I have met three Aspies online, two on WP. I met my last girlfriend (who had AS) on another forum. The two Aspies I have met from here were Raylynn and LiendaBalla (I originally met LB on another forum, and we had met in person, and then she joined WP a few months ago).
