*waves* Howdy, Serehan here. ^_^
I'm not really sure what to say... well, I'm a girl. We can start there. ^^ Yeah. I tend to be busy with school alot, we have an insane curriculum where I go, so if anyone wanted to use me, weekends would be best. I'll beta pretty much anything, though I prefer BL/yaoi, or any overall slashy goodness. Yup. *silence* I really wish I had something witty to insert here. sweatdrop

Hi, peoples! I am Lori. I'm thirteen, but most people don't believe that because I write in complete sentences and re-reaad to check for errors. XD I write a lot of things, including fanfiction, poetry, song lyrics, and origional fantasy and mystery and horror. I like to beta for just about anything. I believe that we need to make the people of Gaia more literate! XD
Witty thing to insert: Cheese is good. I like cheese.
Howdy, Serehan! *waves back*

Hiya all. I'm a fantasy nut, novelist, and comic artist with various obsessions. I took creative writing in uni and got addicted to the back and forth beta/crit routine. Anyone else here also frequent fmwriters.com?

I'm omgtehsuiso. I'm here mainly because I'm a critique-nut, for whatever reason, and over the years I've developed a strange affinity for finding grammatical errors. Sometimes without actually looking for them. I work in a library at the moment, helping run the Youth section.
As for my writing, I'm probably closest to fantasy, but I don't like elves or magic. If your story has either, that's okay, assuming your elf's name isn't Fregolas or something. When I beta, I'll also give you a pretty lengthy critique on plot, characters, and all that good stuff, assuming you request it. I took a couple courses at Johns Hopkins for writing/critiquing, so I won't be too harsh, too nice, or too OMFG MARY-SUE.
Other things: I think I like making three-paragraph posts. :[ OH OH. And if you're bored one day and want to find out what I'm writing, you can ask to read/critique my work.

*waves* uh, I'm Emma, or Niahdrah, I don't much care. You lose track of what your name is when you're in my group of friends (I awnser to phlegm...yeah)I'm 14, and a freshman in highschool.
I love reading and writing so much so that it has become a pain for my teachers when there is a piece of a story written on the back of my homework. I write mostly fantasy and fanfiction,and anything else that pops into my head. And I like chocolate, and puppies.

I'm Rachel, or Mystic Blossom. Whichever you prefer. I live in New York, I'm 17, and a senior in high school. Right now I'm trying to get into college early, so I don't have to worry about it later.
I've written a few books, and I'm currently trying to get a literary agent. I usually write fantasy and realistic fiction.
Aside from writing (constantly), I also like making costumes and browsing around online. And that's about it! Whee!

I'm Stephanie...but alot of my friends call me Smudge.
My initials are SMJ and a lot of my friends have cool initials that spell something out.
Like my boyfriend's initials are TAZ, you know, like the cartoon character?
Anyways, I was messing around trying to put my initials into a word and it came out sounding like Smudge...so I just stuck with it.
I'm 17 years old and live in Astoria, Oregon.
It's a really small town about 20 minutes from the coast, it smells like fish because of all the canneries and such.
Kinda sucks here but it's tolorable.

Ok, reckon I should introduce myself too razz (This has that talking-group-feel, don't you think? Special group for writing addicts, uh-oh! Well, as long as I'm not in the druggy group it's fine)
I'm Joëlla, or Zienna, or Njoho Sanaa, or Lain-Iris, or Rei-Lyn, or... Yeah, you get the general idea. sweatdrop Don't ever ask me where I get my names from... 'Cause I likely won't remember neutral whee
I'm 16, turning 17 at 24 december (I expect present folks! LoL), I'm in 5th year of highschool (HAVO, I'm Dutch) so that's my last... Exams are going to kill me, I already know that now sweatdrop
Erm... my hobbies are writing (no s**t Sherlock!), drawing, singing/dancing/music... I like to write in first person, I get easily confused in 3rd... Trying out my first 2nd person pov as I speak (I'm sooo cheating on NanoWriMo!) I started out writing poetry, then with DBZ fanfiction (I can still remember every episode, I think I saw all eps at least 4 times eek ), then sucky tries at original fiction... Now I'm completely in till over my head in Harry Potter fanfiction (yes, I admit, I'm a complete magic/fantasy-whore. always have been anyway) and I can savely say I inproved LOADS at my original writing sweatdrop (which isn't exactly hard, looking at where I started... eh...). Grammar is still a big issue for me though, hence this guild xp I'm learning though, and I'm proud to say I memorized an entire English dictionary too! whee
...You must think I'm the biggest, most obsessed freak in the world by now. Beware, there's more! xd I'm a complete slash-freak that turns about EVERYTHING into slash... So, yeah: obsessed, addicted, much much more things I can't think of to describe... That's me!
(Yes, I ramble. No, I'm not done yet. I still want to say goodbye.)
Goodbye wink

Hmm! Well, I'm Zoni. I'm twenty years old, not in college or anything. I've been published a couple of times in magazines and have an audio book out - but that hardly takes much skill. I enjoy beta-ing, but I will probably be quite blunt regardless of the material handed to me. People should hear it like it is!

Hello all, it's nice to meet everyone. Yep, um. I'm Koy and there's not much to me, 'cept that I'm slow at times. Uh... I like anime and manga. I usually write something on the lines of that, but I wish I couls write like some people around here. They are so creative. Well.... yeah. I might end up being on the list of needing a beta since I am not at all confident of how I write my works. eh? that sounded wierd. but enough of that. some much new people xd

*stands up*
My name is Nemea
*Chorus of "Hi Nemea!"s*
EHhehehe, it does have that group talk feel.
Anyhow, I'm a girl, 18, and I want to try my hand at being an editor so I figure the best way would be to inundate myself with others' works and correct/critique them! Yes, I am crazy. xp
I am very loud, and can be annoyingly chipper. Sorry.

Well hey everyone! ^__^
My name's Charissa but you can just call me Nas on here. I was born in Ansbach, Germany but I was just a military brat. v__v; I turned 16 on July 29th. I still don't have my driving permit and I seriously need a part-time job because my senior year's going to cost a lot. (Junior this year).
Hobbies. I enjoy doing several things: writing and reading (original fantasy/fiction), drawing, playing an instrument (violin - 7 yrs, keyboard - 2 yrs, bass - 2 yrs), listening to music (variety), singing (not in tune). I also DDR - standard.
I still haven't decided what career I'd like to pursue later in life. But I'm thinking of becoming an editor (book or magazine) since I'd probably enjoy that and it'd be a great way to make up for my novice writing skills. Or I would play the violin for musical theater along with several other instruments. Or ... I could learn how to draw the way I'd like to, create and sell my own comics or go into animation. There's just so many things I'd like to do but it's like I can only do "one".
What else? I'm not sure. But I guess you guys will eventually come to know me ^__^
