Not much people know about me, but as part of the Staff, i should you about some things, that i do in my life. This may help you all with such questions as "Why i dont see this guy offten?" Or "Is he playing at all?" So, lets start from the important. Im writing... stuff and things for one Russian FanFiction community (from now on - FF). Most people think that FF - is just some kind of porn books with fictional personages, but its not quite true. Im writing books, tales and just interesting stories, that not (most of the time) touch any kind of fandom. They are Purely created from my imagination and dreams, writen into a page and typed into a machine. We got this out of the way, so lets stand on the path once agane. Writing is my hobby, and im trying to make it my job, that i enjoy and love. So, to produce such stories and entertain my public, that may read such stories, i need time. Im writing 8 pages a day, and thats my "minimum", that i should reach every day. And all this ammount of pages i make is strict pattern. Scheme. Im writing on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Every week. So, if you playing on this exact day - i may not appear. And thats not a first probem that might happen. Im not working. Im not recieving money for my storrymaking, im not applied to any sort of job... And this may get me. As a lone man, i need to make food for myself, get a job, take care of my family... I just need to be a housewife for myself and others. That takes a little pinch of my freetime, but when ill find myself a workspace... This time will wanish. If now im playing for about 4 hours a day, then later i will have only 1 hour for such intertainment. So, this should help you realise, how much time i have and what might happen to me in the future. I may not appear for this exact reasons, but one thing i know for sure - i will not change my writing scedule, even if ill find work for myself. I hope this will help you understand my situation, why i didnt show up offten or just "disappear". Thats it. All, that i could tell - i told. Have a greatest of days.
Thanks for letting us know; you'll be fine. : ) Forum/ Server activity shouldn't be a top priority (among all else) to begin with.
I'd love to read one of your books if you make one in English, Good luck with your work and I hope everything works out the way you want it to be, Take care!
I could try to translate one of my poems for ya. Translating 100+ pages would be a real pain in the ass.
One thing I don't understand is this: If most of the time you aren't touching any kind of fandom, wouldn't that just be creative writing? I don't see how that's fanfiction
"Most of the time" is the key in this. Im touching some of the fandoms, but for now, its just only 1-2 of my works from the entire package. Sometimes i use them as a "canvas", to put my picture in, so other readers will find it more interesting. Not all of them like creative writing, so i need to do this from time to time.
For me... its kind of a "taboo" to use YouTube in any money gaining purposes. Also, it would be hard to translate such texts and save the main core of it. Its harder, than it looks and sounds. Trust me.
