the non-essential character!

OH MY GOD! I'M ON FIRE!!!! I... oh wait, its just my avitar...

Hey all, I'm new here... like you couldn't guess that.

I'm the non-essential character. I've been advised to stay away from any away missions or volunteering, but this doesn't count as anything like that, right?

Okay, so seriously now, yes, I am often a goof, but I am really into writing, and actually have a love of reading amature stuff.

As far as my critique style, well I think its a good one:

I'm blunt: No, I don't name call (that's not being blunt that's just being rather dumb), but if I don't like something I will tell you without apology. I do not feel at liberty to leave sarcastic negative comments, or tell an author he's the best when I really think he could improve. Given this, if I can't come up with anything I don't like about your work... don't be surprised. I will offer genuine praise and try to give useful critiques.
I'm helpful: Generally I like to give suggestions for improvement if I tell a writer something is wrong, I feel I'm just nit picking if I don't. I know others don't feel this way, and I'm fine with that.
I can be long winded: well... I just said it.
I joke: Not to call you dumb or make fun, but sometimes its just good to have a laugh right? I promise, I won't make fun.

My writing style is mostly fantasy, about on the level of comic books. Not real sofisticated or detailed, lets just skip to the good part! Most of my stories will be action filled.

I like to read fantasy action (figures I guess, since I write it!).

WARNING: Yes, I feel this is appropiate to be up front about since I'm aware my personality can seem quite docile at times, plus I purposely make people aware that I am both Christian and Conservative. My stories aren't "tamed". I'll define that.
I don't feel it necessary to shelter the reader, if people die, they die on scene. If their scared, hit, shot, dismembered, etc, its on scene. I feel no need to focus in on wounds for a gross out effect, and make a point not to, but at the same time, if Jurassic Park or Matrix was too much for you, don't follow my stories.
I won't have sex in them at any time, or womanizing or anything else like that though, puls very minimal and infrequent cussing (no **** word, just stuff like damn or hell).

writer collab

Hey, I'd like to make a writers collberation. I'm trying to make a comic series and experiment to see if I can have several authors working on it. If I'd like to ask for stuff like this, where should I?
