A rant thread? Awesome! I cast Wall of Text Level 2:
(Warning: Bitchiness Ahead)
So, I'm trying to write this horror story called True Horror of Man, and I want to be as original ith it as I can, but all of th ideas that I come up with it as creappy sh*it to happen to the main character, is all pulled from somewhere else It's nothing but a bunch of damn cliches. Everyone's already done it already! So how am I supposed to create an original, evocative horror story, when anything I'd throw at this guy would just be another, "oh, he got that from this!" and so on.
Also, It's not even coming out as a horror sory! I'm starting on my third chapter, have had maybe one 'creepy' incident (the independantly moving reflection cliche, by the way), and the rest is turning into a college dramedy. Ew. I've read enough of those, I don't want to write one. I mean, even the short story I've written, How To Tell A Story, is only 1300 words long, and it's already much creepier than my book seems to want to be. I haveone good slightly original thought, and I blow it on a short story. Way to freakin go, me!
On top of that, I've already decided on my project for NaNoWriMo, yet ANOTHER horror story, and I don't have a computer to write it with yet! (At my cousin's house, punching this out.) An all the good ideas I get? For completely unrelated stories! Like romance novels, fantasy short sories, some more... questionable materials. Not to mention all of my normal social crap (but I won't wother you with that here.).
Ok, I feel better. Thanks.

so i've got this piece i'm working on, called Death Becomes Me. basically, it's about a young, eighteen-year-old woman that finds out she's going to die when the angel of death crashes through her window. she's got eighteen days to live (one for every year of her life), and although i've got a solid plot outlined for the story, it's like my antagonist (the angel) won't let me write it! i'll start to write, get really into it and after writing a scene where he's confrontational and the main focus, i lose interest. i don't know what it is! i really do love that story, but i can't seem to find the inspiration to finish it! it's so AGGRIVATING!!
i wantwantwant to work on that story, but every time an idea pops in to my head, a vision of orestes (means "angel of death", quite literally, haha) comes to me and tells me to STFU and write something else!
but i don't WANT to write something else! i want to write DBM!
graaagghhhh, i had to get that off my chest. |

Dear characters of "Fading Background,"
Okay, you guys are awesome... but that does not mean you can keep the story going on like this! I'm tired. Do you KNOW how long I have been working on this story? It's the first story I ever started by myself. EIGHT YEARS! EIGHT years of this same story... I need peace!
Sakura, you need to just die. There. I said it, die! Leave us in peace, I'm begging you. You talk WAAAY too much, and I can't take your flashbacks. They are killing me.
Kuro, you are one of my favorite characters. That being said, what are you DOING?! You had the perfect chance to end this story before we even got to Sakura, but noooo you had to be stubborn and protect your brother.
Ai, stop being so bubbly and cute, everyone can tell that you have an evil dark side.
Haiiro- you know what? FORGET IT, I don't even want to think about you. mad
Aneko, please stop making food, you're going to kill the rest of the characters.
Hikari, shut up. For the love of all that is good and right, shut UP! stressed There is too much love and drama in this story and I swear if you don't shut up I will KILL you... for real this time.
Rin, you need to get over Yuzuki. I have enough evil characters running about without you being evil too. Don't make me delete you! I'll do it! scream
Your Creator,
Melannie

Dear...
Suru=I'm sorry I can't write you better. I don't mean for you to come off as dumb, bratty, and very b1tchy. I'm just not sure how to write a character who's spent most of his life indoors as a slave, suddenly finds himself the son of an over-ambitious Ambassador from another world, and has no idea of just how bad his past life was because he was taught it was right. I'm sorry too, that you're new adoptive parent seems a little bland and sometimes info-dumpish. But I'm not sure how to do a character that's supposed to be somewhat Spock-like and still make them interesting (despite my adoration for Spock and troubled characters like him). And how else will you learn if he never takes a paragraph or two to answer your many questions? I don't know, but I swear I'll work harder (oh, and finish those conlangs).
Joseph/Snow and Beverly=I'm sorry your story sucks no matter how I try to write it. I must have started it five times by now, and you guys never get a good two pages out of months of work before I scrap you. One day, my loves. One day this horror will be finished, Joseph will betray you Beverly, and you will die that senseless death you don't deserve.
Jonathan Frey=Soon as I know I can write a proper slash, you and Roland will finally get your to chances to shine--I promise. I PROMISE. ((P.S. I think I'm almost there.))
Harley Adams and Gabriella Evening Wilson=Okay, I'll admit, I have absolutely no story for you guys (also a problem slowing Suru's progress). But I plan to have something someday. Til then, just keep being the best of friends/roommates and inhabiting that little space in the back of my head.
Bobby=*Sigh,* this may be the end for you, and I'm real sorry about it. I just don't know if your story will be interesting enough for other people to care about trudging through your thick country accent to read it. I mean, okay. A ten yr. old kid who stays behind with his dad when his older siblings leave the farm after your mother dies. You drop out of school and think that your doing good in helping your old man on the property until--five yrs. later, through droughts, deepening poverty, and a depression--your pop dies, and you're nervous about writing to your siblings for help. And... that's it. I just don't know about it. Maybe, and maybe not. Your future is uncertain, and I'm sorry.
Uncle Charles=Okay, dude, your whole d@mn family is messed up; making you almost seem normal when YOU'RE the one supposed to be traumitzed. However, you're so much fun to write. All I need is to study prison life a little more in-depthly--or, at least, life after it (oh, and learn slash for your nephew's sake)--and you'll be ready. Here's to the good times you'll bring if I can ever write you. X's and O's.
Aydrien Mombassa=I'm sorry your RP died just when it was getting good. I will not forget you, though. One day, I'll write that story I was planning for you. You'll come of age, discover yourself (both the human and the lycan), and you'll be reunited with your family. Your father hasn't failed you, and your family won't remain in exile, I just haven't wrote these things out yet. You'll even get to disappoint your family by marrying that girl nicknamed, 'Stix,' whom you love so dearly. How's that as reward for all of your patience? I know, I'm too generous.
--Sincerely all yours,
SaraDiva728
