What is the general feeling about this? I have written short stories and roleplayed quite a lot in the past, and recently with getting into manga/anime heavier than I used to I have had the urge to start back up writing, but I've been procrastinating too much to actually write.

If I were to start writing again, what would you guys be interested in? How long would you want them to be? What type of setting? Male or Female MC? Anime Setting?

Here's a little something to show you how I can write and to see if you would be interested in me writing more! Enjoy!

A bright flash of lightning illuminated the muddy country road as a young man ran through the pouring rain to try and get away from the horror that was following him. His heart was near it's limit and felt as if with the next step it could burst forth from within his breast with the utmost violence of an exploding volcano. His lungs expanded and tried to refill the stocks of oxygen that his body was so needlessly expelling in his flight for sanity.

Heavy stone-like gauntlets covered his hand and half of his forearm. The same could be seen on his feet. They were stone like in appearance but they were necessary in the line of work he preformed. He hated what he had to do when asked to put those stupid things on. The pain it caused him was too great. That's why he had to go into his own little world. It's not something he could control. It was something conditioned into his very being. Whenever he placed the stone-like boots and gauntlets on his mind went white. Sometimes he remembered what he did, but most of the time he forgot. Thankfully.

*Huff* *Huff*

His loud footsteps were slowing down now. He was no longer sprinting like a runner in a race. His pace slowed to a mere walk, and then finally to a stop. He bent down, placed his hands on his knees and tried to steady his breathing. It was hard. He had run so far. Why? Deep breaths rocked his frame as he coughed and sputtered with the oxygen filling up his lungs. He wiped away a little bit of foamy spit that had built up around the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"W...w..why?"

There were tears flowing down his cheeks. There was no reason for this. Why was he crying so hard? It was no longer the deep breaths that shook his frame. He was bent over, his head between his knees. Sobbing. Sobbing so hard that his eyes were blurring. Sobbing so hard he couldn't stand to even breathe.

"Why?"

This time there was more force in his voice. He wasn't sobbing so hard now. His breathing was returning to normal. His eyes were drying up so now at least he could see. For the first time he looked down at his hands. The stone-like gauntlets were cracked and very very worn. A red substance could be seen slowing washing off in the mix of his tears and the falling rain.

In his hand he held a golden locket. It was open and a picture could be seen inside. It was of a small girl, a small boy and an older man. They all had the same facial structure, eyes and dark silver hair. This is one of those times when he remembered what happened when he was doing his job. The last thing he remembered seeing were those beep brown eyes of the girl as she coughed up her last ragged breath.

"P..P...Pleas.e. Ta..ke.. it.." a small shaking hand held forth the golden locket he now gripped like a priceless treasure. The little body coughed one last time and the light behind her beautiful brown eyes faded forever. The tears in his eyes returned. He drew in a large gulp of air and released it into the night sky.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

:3

Ok a little something turned into a little more. Oops...<_<

yeah i'm for this, as evidenced by the bit i wrote for the create your own anime character thread (which i guess nobody is reading/or interested in) but yeah i def love to write and do as much as i can. hoping to post more this weekend for lumikki and my character and to start to develop on ongoing story.

i am interested in how everyone writes though...hoping it would be for the RPG that never got going, but if it's here, that's cool too. i'll read both later when i have a little time

To erotic fiction the likes of which are unlikely to appear here :) While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku. At least I can go see her in concert.

As for me, I haven't written anything for the past month now. I'm not really in a block, but for some reason I can't find myself writing the next chapter. But I'm hoping to get back into it once this semester is over.

Glad you like it Camellia. That's the first thing I've put into words in a good year or two. Glad to see it's still decently received.

@bill

I wasn't so much making this an RPG recruitment topic or a general open story, but more so something for me to write about, with some input from everyone on a setting, characters, etc. Maybe something that I can write about weekly or daily depending on how well people respond to this.

@Sukunai

Competing how so?

@Kaito

Very nice! My personal opinion is that I don't really like to write in 1st person. It makes it seem too...how can I put this...forceful? Like you're telling someone how to read a story instead of letting them feel like they are experiencing the story. The writing style by no means makes your writing bad, on the contrary like I said it was very good. I've just always wrote in 3rd person and it's kinda weird seeing a 1st person perspective. Many thanks for the sharing. :)

@gumplug

well first i was just kinda subtley hinting and hoping people would see this and participate in that too and giving proof that i enjoy writing etc.

but on the other hand, i would hope you would welcome (as you seemed to with Kaito) others participating in original writing in this thread as well, bc i think it's a great idea! you can still have your own ongoing story in this thread for people to follow as well as others to write in as well. it would be like a literary magazine that way.

Oh I have no reason to turn someone away if they want to place their stories in this thread. If I came off that way that's not what I meant. I just merely said that I would be writing my own story. I have nothing against competitively writing, I honestly encourage it since competition always makes you better with whatever you're doing. I think I misunderstood what your intentions were with your other post. My mistake!

Yesterday one of my friends on Solia helped me turn in it into what looks like it'll be a cool RP (if we ever get enough people to join) I used to write poetry, but I really haven't in a long time. Now I just stick to story bits.

Okay for some reason listening to dubstep with a little Crown Royal in my system gets me in the mindset to write. So I'm just going to start writing and see what happens. Hopefully it's not too bad.

Hour and 45 minutes later...-_- part one is done! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. Sadly, my buzz is gone so now I have to go to sleep. Goodnight!
