Writer's Block / Re: A Story About Vampires
« on: May 17, 2011, 12:11:22 PM »
If you want some inspiration, I'd say go and read some old vampire lore. The original stuff from about 400 years ago and up. During the early 18th century there was a vampire craze in europe, originating fron eastern europe, and there are quite a few publications about vampires and vampire lore (some scientists believed in it at the time) in german or french newspapers or scientific publications from the time. You might be able to find some stuff online.

Of course, a lot of the lore does not work very well for a story, but you may be able to pick out a few ideas.

As for writing, you should find your own style, and your own characters. Just do what works the best for you, and for the story.

Writer's Block / Re: F**k it... I'm writing a poem

I really love this poem.

Especially this part:

The night, the day,
the earth is round and
I am hollow and hallowed.
A single letter,
a single sound and the world,
the universe, is shaped by vowels.

Gives me shivers, in a good way, if you know what I mean :)

Entertainment / Re: favourite manga/anime?

My favourite manga is Death Note. It really messes with your head.
Absolutely agreed. I love the story, the art, the characters. And the twists are amazing.

@Ivan:

Thanks for the insight on programming :)

Also, I ignore the violations of physical laws in fantasy because I regard fantasy worlds (where magic usually violates the laws of physics) as ruled by the laws of magic and physics, as opposed to strictly by physics, as is the case in our world, and in pretty much every science fiction world.

Also, I try not to think about it too much when I read fantasy... I just use the "there are laws of magic!" idea and enjoy the book or the movie.

@Wunderkind: Ah, but the question is: can we even imagine a world in which every law of physics would be broken?

Hey!

I've just graduated highschool, and am currently deciding what I want to do after my gap year... I have been thinking computer programming or engineering, or maybe even research in physics, possibly astro or particle, even though I doubt I am smart enough for that (even though I'd love to do it!)

Anyway, I enjoy science fiction (even though the mistakes really peeve me out), I don't really play a lot of video or computer games, and I love to read, especially fantasy, and I also love to write things. I don't know anything about computer programming, even though I want to get down to that during this year...

So, all in all, I think I'm a pretty normal, some-what geeky person :)

Greetings, the me.
