Hey, you like to write? Have anything you want to share? little bits and pieces of interesting but perhaps even unfinished work? (everything I'm sharing is unfinished, yay?) or maybe you want to read and critique others work? Maybe you have some non-story work to show, such as poems, articles, etc that you wrote and would like to share? Any shit you scribbled up and thought it had some semblance of merit?
All my stuff is usually some form of Sci-Fi. and much of it I wrote a while ago. This is actually because I don't write as often as I should because I actually really enjoy writing but usually just never think to do it for some reason or just never get around to it.
(I made this topic in Ed's GlitchWorks a while back, only got one other person to post, theodolite, you can see the story I posted and the one he posted at
http://www.glitchworks.net/f/index.php/topic,58.msg583.html#msg583 )
If you want to read the unfinished story section I posted, you can go to the
Google Docs page I published instead of the above link if you prefer.
I'm just going to link to the stories as published Google Doc works so as to avoid clutter:
A writing project I did for class that I did about about 2 years back:
BackstoryInitial Character ConceptThe SettingThere was a Forth part that I lost that was arguably the best part, it was turned in as a "final" with the above 3 parts edited together to read much better but I foolishly never uploaded to Google Docs and it was lost, Along with another short story I wrote that I was a lot more proud of. I wrote this stuff kind of hastily because they were class assignments and I was a procrastinator. So they really benefited from the editing that I did. Oh well. Guess this sets the bar kind of low, so seriously post anything!
The most recent thing I've written I was waiting to get my HDD's so I could do more than just surf the net and word process. Since I got sick of just wasting time on the internet I figured I'd actually use it to word process. I actually used a random word generator to get some ideas and creative juices flowing and just stuck with the first word I got "Disciple" and then threw in any other ideas that sort of flowed from that word. I also posted this on IRC and noticed that no one commented. Which makes sense I suppose since most of the people on IRC aren't likely to stick around and do any article length reading. Or maybe they just didn't give a fuck or thought it sucked and held back saying so. Who knows.
This is a dumb sci-fi horror story and its the longest single piece that I've written because I actually thought I'd have the patience to write a novel length story. (HAHA NOPE) It also kind of does a poor job of explaining the context and setting to a degree, the dialogue is awkward, and since its so long (slightly less than 8000 words) feel free to skip it (though you should feel free to skip all of these bits of writing obviously)
And finally, about a year ago I was bored again and wrote
this set of character concepts for an alternate version of Snow White I was planning on doing something with a bunch of disney Characters and rewriting their back stories but eventually thought the idea has already kind of been done and its to close to fan fiction for comfort. (Not that I actually dislike all fan fiction, its just usually looked down upon for some reason, if you have fan fiction post it, I'll probably read it.) (EDIT: Just letting you know I also sort of planned on maybe doing some sort of roleplaying with this stuff, thus the "abilities" part of every character description)
So, there are a few other things that I've written that either never even got any written parts (as in it was just a general 'story order' that I never got around to fleshing out) and stuff that I've lost to dying HDD's and not backing them up.
If you have got anything to post PLEASE DO! I want to read what Salt has to offer. It doesn't have to be fiction, that's just what I like to write. Maybe you have a BLOG or substantial twitter even?
Tell your writing friends! (Hundley, lol)
