People think I'm cool! - this might be the sleep madness talking...

this might be the sleep madness talking...
But I'm kind of trying to write a book. Like, a book-book. I've got the majority of it plotted and written out on about six billion loose-leaf sheets of paper, but I do have the first chapter mostly solid and safe on my hard drive. It's not been edited or anything. My friends that've read it seem to like it but the only problem is that they are biased in the sense that I've told them pretty much everything about the characters and the world and where it'll eventually go.

I'm really curious to see what you, any of you, who ever thought I wrote worth a damn five freakin' years ago when all I did was write gay naruto fanfic, might think of it as a serious project. I'm not looking for an ego boost (not that I'm objecting of course *grin*), but I'm also looking for brainstorming and speculation on the part of an unbiased reader to make sure I'm telling the story I want to be telling.

I'm thinking about posting it under flock (just in case I, you know, try and get it PUBLISHED) so even if you're just curious or bored or if you are interested in helping me out just a little by giving me a few minutes of your time, I'd honestly appreciate it. I know I haven't been around much at all for the past few years but I kinda think that's going to change. I'm finding that delicate balance between having a RL social life and an interwub social life, between fannish creativity and original creativity.

So if you're sitting there wondering, "hey ally, you kind of forgot to tell me what the story is ABOUT'-- man, I don't even know where to begin. I'll post a summary when I post the chapter. I promise.

Oh damn. Five years is so long ago.

I've been reading original fiction over at Fictionpress for the past couple of months and seen my fair share of authors try to get their works published. Glad to hear that you're aiming for publication! I can't wait until someone I know from the internetz gets published.

I would be *very* wary of posting anything on the internet if you want to have it published in the future. Friends lock would be good, but a personalized filter list might be better. Perhaps remove it after a certain period of time?

There's been a bit of a storm over at Fictionpress where a couple of authors pulled stories due to someone trying to sell a story after plagiarizing it. I don't think anyone should have to go through a situation like that. Be careful! >_

Five years! CRAZINESS. I've had this journal since... '04. Damn.

But yes, thank you for telling me. I'd been loosely planning on only sharing the first chapter on the interwub, unedited, and even then, only under a flock of whoever was interested. Just to kind of gauge where I'm at. It's been so long since I posted any of my writing, really.

*sheeps* Want to be in on the filter?

I would love to be included in the filter. My feedback forte tends to be with typos, but I'll try my best to give well rounded feedback!

Cheers!

Feedback or no feedback, I'm just happy to share the story. I'm extremely fond of it :D

I'd like to read it! I've been wanting to read it since you've told me the little ideas you had! I don't know when I'd get to, but it won't be later then next weekend if you do post it before then ^^
