Taking Flight

Heehee... the title's from Sarah Geronimo's album; I'm listening to one of her songs at the moment while I'm writing this. I'm in Canada but I still try to keep up with the things back in the Philippines.

Anyway, my work is alright now. Just like my other post, all it really took was a ray of sunshine; yesterday it was a very sunny day and good things happened. So, I'm not stressed out about work anymore. Maybe I have to worry about my school though. My business ISU is due in two and a half weeks, and my group and I have barely started. All the research is probably finished, but we need to put it all together.

What I really want to talk about this post is Fanfiction.net. Yay, things are starting to look up again in the G/V section. Not that it was at the bottom of the bottle, but it had seen better times before. Apparently I hadn't known of fanfiction yet when it was really at its peak.

Quite recently many authors in the G/V section (DBZ in general) have lacked the enthusiasm to continue their stories. This caused a major recession in stories, and even though I'm not probably the most active author there, I try to still continue my writing. I guess what I'm trying to get to is that I feel so frustrated when people stop writing because they feel as if nobody's going to read and review. I mean sure, reviews are a big deal (they are for me too) but ever tried writing for your own sake? If reviews were all that mattered, I wouldn't be in the position I am now. I am quite proud of my recent works, and I wouldn't be here if I had let all the flames of my earlier stories stop me. Trust me, flames are worst than people who don't review. I was a pretty bad writer, but now I'm better.

I think all the authors have shifted over to newer animes as well. I don't blame them for that, but all I'm saying is that just because other authors have lost interest, it doesn't mean that the rest of us should. You people know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, stop with all the negativity.

Today I found out that two of my fellow writer have started a forum and a DeviantArt group just for G/V. I'm so excited. I *love* forums. I love talking about nothing and something. My favorite? Introspective blather. Yup! The best topics are ones that make me think, are controversial, interesting, random, and just anything that isn't cliched. Of course cliche isn't too bad as well. Old classic topics that I love to participate in are things like, "If so and so are Disney characters, which movie would they be in?" Hehee... I love being random.

Yeah! I got to post "What You Will" as well. It's doing pretty well. I'm hoping for more reviews, but it's good. Now I will focus on "Sticks and Stones" once again. The new edited chapter is 3/4 done. There's a big scene at the end that I still need to write. Actually, it's a scene and a half.

So, I'm sure that nobody's reading this anyway. I don't if people read others' blogs, but I just like to keep track of the things that are happening in my life, whether be important or not.

Have a happy, happy, happy Mother's Day!
