Pretty much the only time I go out is when I work on Saturday's.

Nope. x)
It's kind of taken over my life. I'm not that bothered though. People keep saying "You need to get it sorted," but it's not like it's making me miserable.

I have social issues. Putting me in a classroom is like locking a claustrophobic person in the trunk of your car for a few hours.

Not public school.

I'm homeschooled, now. I finish next April.

[b]All[/b] schools here have uniforms. Though when I was in school, I wore the school shirt & tie and that was it. Our uniform was mostly black, so I just wore black jeans and a black hoodie.

Most schools here aren't as lapse as mine was, though.

Really? Every other American I've spoken to has said it was 18. x)

Eh, sounds a lot like English schools. Except we have uniforms. >.>

I've always wanted to go to an American school, just to see if it really is like how Highschool is portrayed in movies. x)

But then, you have to stay in school 'til you're 18, which kind of sucks.

Well I live in England, and the schools are [i]okay[/i]. But then I live in remote countryside. It's probably a lot different in cities. Teachers get away with a lot of shit they shouldn't, though.

I think a lot of people need to go back and take primary school English or somethin' before they start posting here.

I know what you mean. They teach you how to write properly in school when you're like, eleven. It's not that hard to apply it here.

It's like that on most writing sites, though. For every good writer, there's a couple o' hundred shitty ones. On our Editor system, we have two lists. One of "approved" people, and one of "checked" people (checked means you recieved the message). The checked list is seven times longer than the approved one. At [i]least[/i].

*supervee pout*

That wasn't niiiiiice.

*whines in that annoying way that you oddly find adorable*

I was commenting Sasha on myspace.

And I left her a comment on here saying, "Hey, I thought I'd be hardcore and talk to you on myspace AND here."

*pouts more*

Meanie.

I LOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUUU.

=]

Have fun with Heather.

I might call you later.

Omg, I think I've gotten sicker, like...

I can almost taste it. It's gross and it makes me want to hurl more.

Bright side: I CAN TALK AGAIN. =]

I love you. Oh wait.. I said that.

Damn.

I still love you. =]

Bai.

We have lives, too. x)
We get a lot of messages about people not being able to fix their stories because they "don't have time and have better things to do". And they want us to fix it for them. And it's like, you [i]wrote[/i] the story, it's your job to fix it. ><

Most of the Editors are 13 - 16. We have school and all that fun stuff to deal with, too. xD

Ah but there is a reason for that. Double spacing is internet etiquette.

In books, they indent for dialogue changes. But because on the internet that'snot possible, you double space. It's the same for paragraphs.

There's also the fact that reading squished together text on a computer screen is difficult, and you often miss chunks of information because it all blurs into a big mush. x)

I tend to sound snappy without meaning to. I'm used to just saying regulation things; I don't mean to sound like I'm insulting people's intelligence, though it can sound that way.

I get "St0p pckin 0n m3h, im jst a KiiD. i cn right hw i wnt," a lot. Half the people who say that are like 16. That's older than me. >_<

'm not trying being rude. I'm sorry if it came across that way. The bit at the bottom wasn't directed at you. I was talking about people as a whole, hence the reason I said "A lot of people."

Sorry again. I have a habit of things coming out different than how I mean them to.

We used to do that. But it took a lot of time and only 50% of stories got sorted through because we had to write out a report for every single story telling them what was wrong. And some of those reports were [i]long[/i]. It's okay doing it for the odd person, but [i]50 000[/i] people...

Well, you get where I'm coming from.

This way, [b]every[/b] story gets checked, it's easier on us, and people have the chance to figure out the problems themselves using the list provided, which helps them improve as an author.

A lot of people wouldn't get their stories flagged if they just read the Guidelines before they posted, like it says to in big bold letters.

Well it has been said many times in the help forum and such to contact an Editor if you would like some help. ;)

It hasn't been four months. It's been two, if that. And everyone is in the same position as you.

I looked over one of your stories briefly.
Your chapter titles are wrong and so is your dialogue punctuation.

You don't need to put "Chapter One:" etc., because chapters are automatically numbered. You just need to put the actual chapter title.

When there is not tag following dialogue, it should end in a period, as it is the end of a sentence.

Also, your summary should not be a repeat of the first chapter. It's supposed to [b]summarise[/b] the story.

Kay, so I've noticed everyones gone all spammy-spammy on Dujo's profile because of the writing guidelines thing. You being one of those people. x]

It's editors who manage stories, not Dujo. He just manages the editors.

- If you don't know what to change, just leave your story as it is. The idea if for you to figure out the mistakes yourself instead of being told. This helps you improve as a writer. But if you can't see what's wrong, just wait, you will get another message when everyone else does. Your story isn't suspended at the moment, so don't worry.
- If you think you've made the corrections; again, just do nothing and wait.
- If you want someone to explain what corrections you need to make, message an editor.

'LE CREATURE!' YES!! That is what we shall call it! I used to like Le Creature because I thought it stood for individuality and accepting others regardless of appearance. But then I found out 'it' was just a stuck up scene whore who spouts off racial slurs and makes fun of people who actually have musical talent, whereas 'it' has none.
