No, I write for fun and profit. Words come easily to me, and a history in debating doesn't hurt.

[elf-fondling human]

I can relate to that. Most people say that I write excellently, but that I'm too lazy to use it to my advantage.

[jamesadelong]

I've published a few articles for a few journals and a magazine here and there. Nothing too special. My pride and joy is my novel, which I'm hoping to finish and get published one of these days. If you want to look at my fiction, In the Community Games & Stories, theres a story called CryptIron. It's not my best but some people seemed to enjoy the first chapter I rushed at a Sydney train station, so I keep writing in my breaks to entertain and think.

My cat died a couple of days ago...

I had to bury him. Given how ridiculously obese he was, this was no small feat.

He was also completely stiff and hard to manoeuvre into a hole in the ground. And he smelled by the time I got him in there.

[Girlinhat]

My family has always done prompt burial of cats, wrapped in a towel, such that they were never stiff or smelly.  As for the hole, well, you gotta do what you gotta do.  At least it wasn't like my grandad's giant black lab.

We've only had to memorialize one cat. We didn't find it for a long time, it had decided to crawl under a blackberry bush on the edge of the property and die painlessly in it's sleep. So we erected a rock spike nearby to mark it's place of death.

I've had two cats die: one when I was three or so, and one about four years ago. The first was put down at a vet, and I don't remember much about him other than that he was fluffy and adorable and old. The other one was always an awesome cat, but her daredevil streak caught up to her and she ended up dead in the street. We buried her under a masterfully engraved stone memorial slab, and she lays under the earth to this day. Probably.

On a lighter note, I found this and almost nerdgasmed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-4u5L4um0c&

I had an FB get into my tunnels and start heading after my dwarves (my militia were on the way, but nowhere near it).  It ran right into a regular miner who casually cut it's head off with one swing before heading back on his way to do some digging.

[Girlinhat]

Miners are generally amazing like that.  They tend to run around screaming madly at the sight of a goblin, then turn and hack an arm off, and continue running, never stopping the screaming.  What was the FB made of?  Snow is lol-worthy, steel is more impressive.

Cant remember.  Something nasty, i think.  Pretty sure it had a poison sting

I've got a humanoid salt monster down there right now, it sucks warm blood. It's apparently humanoid enough to be represented by an H... a H? I've always had trouble with H, grammatically speaking.

[Karnewarrior]

A H, if it's not a vowel AN does not apply.

Back on topic, I was thinking about Buffalo Soldier today, right, when One Love comes on the radio.  Naturally, I start thinking about large amounts of cash.



The fire alarms go off, the Starbucks I'm in and the surrounding buildings are evacuated, a few minutes later the firetrucks arrive, and I get the hell out of there.

No, I think he had it right. When you say H you don't say "H" you say the word aitch which starts with a vowel.

[Remalle]

Oh man, my perfect girl has the ability to deliver a line funny enough to reduce me to incoherence!  Is this feeling in my heart the one you call love?
