I'm imorgaine, the gaia alter-ego of Rhea the WoD character. I'm only sporadically active here these days, but figured I'd at least say howdy. Been up too late watching Olympics. I actually spend some of my online free time playing a silly war game instead of RPing smile http://www.fallofnations.com/play.asp?uid=51045

How could I not like watching beautiful men fly through the air and show off muscles?

Hi!
I thought I'd take some time out from messing around the ED and haunting the TG thread to introduce myself here. ^_^ You can call me Shatter.
I'm 26, presently unemployed and looking for my first job. My college major was in a branch of English, called Creative Writing. I wasn't certain that I wanted to go into Publishing after graduation (which, along with being a freelance writer, is what CW prepares one for); I've taken the luxury of spending the last several years exploring Art/Design as a career option at a low-cost institution.
If only I'd taken the career assessment *before* all that time spent realizing that I didn't want to work in the Visual Arts for a living...
I was so burnt out on writing fiction after graduation that I didn't do it for a long time. I'm just getting back into it, now; though I know that writing fiction, itself, brings up some psychological issues for me. Plus, on analysis, it reveals things about myself that I don't all the time want to know. Not to mention that I tend to write some pretty heavy and morally-ambiguous stories. And, you know, it's a bit difficult to write about someone in a dystopic society when you're not really very social...
So I'm taking it slowly. I was going to try and write and illustrate a comic, before I realized just how much skill and dedication and practice I'd need to just make a basic comic, let alone a semi-realistic work of literary merit. It seems that to do this, I'd have to be both a writer and an illustrator -- and as much as I'd like to be, I'm not both.
As much as gaining my credentials have pushed me away from reading for pleasure, it just seems as though I'll have to go back to reading fiction, to keep my vocabulary and diction sharp; and to inspire me to write.
In general, I make an effort to be a kind person (though I am not the most empathetic); I've been called both kind, and gentle (to my amazement). I know I have a sizable hidden side, which does come out in things like my writing; but I really don't feel as negatively about it as I did when I was younger.
And Gwion, that avi is totally cute. smile

Welcome, Shatter.
Re: comics of literary merit, I always though the Gaiman/McKeene collaboration worked pretty well.

Niran_Betta_Fish Welcome, Shatter. Re: comics of literary merit, I always though the Gaiman/McKeene collaboration worked pretty well. Thanks. smile I just looked up the collab. Do they normally do kids' books? All I can see are covers and teasers here, which gives me that impression. ...I really haven't read comic serials in a while. My most recent English-language favorite was Dark Horse's translation of Blade of the Immortal. (I think maybe I just liked Anotsu. Well, that, and the odd mix of feudal setting and modern elements [like the gang of punks walking around at one point] made me go question ) I've gotten my hands on some indy comics as well, from the library. Short-story type stuff. I really really should do more reading out of books on my own...graphic and prose. And Gwion: you're welcome. smile It is really cute, though. biggrin

If you can't get it at your library, you can get the graphic novel versions from your local comic store or Amazon. They also did Mirrormask.

Hello and good day, always the late fly-by with me, but what else can someone expect from a lazy night bird? I'm a character from an WoD RP, a nightingale pooka to be exact.
My turn on's include long walks by the casino, singing, late night drunken sailor impersonations, singing, getting into altercations with predatory birds, singing, dancing, and long walks *through* the casinos, preferably with many stops along the way.
Turn off's include daytime, sunshine, working an honest job for a living, manual labor, hangnails, squishy jalapeños that have been sitting around too long in the fridge and flashy colors.
Goals in life include not drowning in a bowl of soup and one day out-cheating a Euthanatos at the card table.
And now I go back to being flaky and return you all to your regularly scheduled weirdness.

I didn't know Sandman was one of their collabs...I'd only heard Gaiman's name associated with it, before.
