Talk:Lloyd's Favorites

Horror Template

I found an image on wikimedia commons that I'm currently using for my horror icon. If anyone else wants to do so the template name is Horror. Not very creative I know, but it works =D -- Lloyd

WOW! Thanks so much for faving my story, you don't know how important this means to me! I can't believe it! And you even put a star there, oh my god! Thankyouthankyou holy shit wowowowowowow! I feel like crying with joy...but that would be awkward. Still, a huge thank you! It was really, really great of you to fave my story! Even a :) can't express my joy! (I'd put more thankyou's, but that would take up a lot of space)--Drake, 15:30, 28 June 2009

Where are my stories? LOL. All kidding aside, I like the list. It is one of the shorter ones on this site, so I actually read through the whole thing. Oh, and I was woudnering how long it would take you to add "Finding Himself." It's one of the best stories on Shifti.--Guvnor Of Space 12:37, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you there, Guvnor - and that is why I'm going to be adding it to my list when Wolfy has had a chance to address the critique I've given it. Wolfy, CR and you are three of the better writers that have shown up on Shifti. And all three of you respond well to helpful criticism of your works and try to improve them. -- ShadowWolf 13:11, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Ow... my poor ego =P -- Lloyd

No, I wasn't excluding you, Lloyd. For some reason I see you as not being a newcomer that started with Shifti, but as an already established author. If that isn't true, then you would make a fourth for that list :) -- ShadowWolf 14:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm making the transition from essays to creative writing if that counts, but what's on Shifti is mainly my first foray. -- Lloyd

Hey, I have an abbreviation! I feel like I'm part of the gang now. I too came from writing essays, I guess because we're both fresh out of high school, but I think I enjoy writing narratives much more. And Lloyd, you've technically been published, if you count Anthro, not sure how many of us can claim that. --Concerned Reader 17:48, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh no...ego...inflating...urge to...BRAG TO EVERYONE!!! Must...RESIST! No, stop glaring. That was just a joke. Jeez, what's a guy got to do for a laugh around here? Anyway, narratives are much more fun than essays. Essays are boring and overly short, whereas narratives give you the chance to elaborate on character. I'm only worried about how I transition back to essays when school reopens. HIGH SCHOOL POWER! HIGH FIVE, CR! Never mind. And, yes, Lloyd, *points accusingly* how many people are published in the awesomest newletter of the world? All hail Lloyd, who was in Anthro!

Still, a big thanks for the faves, you two. If I haven't told you guys yet, it means a lot to me. --Drake, 08:10, 29 June 2009

Hehe... yea... we're all awesome. But Wolfy, you must have alot of nice teachers since all the essays I've written this year have been 3 pages minimum. You should see my law final. But its all worth it, I graduated last thursday ^^. On another note, I wouldn't be suprised if Cubist approached either you, Guvnor, or Concerned for Anthro sometime. -- Lloyd

All my essays were 3-5 pages, but double spaced. I fudged it on some of them. My final essay was on my affinity for commas. I got a 92. --Concerned Reader 02:34, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, my final essay was on Lord of The Flies, this book that we're doing for Lit. I ran out of time, so I only got about one page down. But that's more or less what's expected during a test: I write real slow by hand. --Drake, 11:12, 29 June 2009

I write quickly, but not legibly. I've never actually read lord of the flies, but I hear it has children eating each other. On a side note, Shifti needs a chat box or something. --Concerned Reader 03:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, LOTF is a story on human morality and stuff. It's about a bunch of boys who get stranded on an island and try to make a civilization there while awaiting rescue, but they slowly descend into savegery. A very morally reverberating story. And yes, I do agree with Concerned Reader: Shifti could use a "chat box or something". I'm sure it would encourage conversations and socializing among the users, and that would help us grow as a community. --Drake, 11:28, 29 June 2009

Yes! exactly. That way we would have a dedicated area, and not be filling up Lloyds talk page with our crap. --Concerned Reader 03:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Yup. See, even now we're filling up his talk page. At first we were talking about some noob's story making the list, but now we're on to chat boxes. See? SEE? SEE?!

You see... Shifti does have this really nifty "chat box" called IRC :) (see irc.lapinia.org - almost any channel)

Seriously, though, a chatbox sounds like a decent idea. I could probably hack one together pretty quick, but my "quick hacks" are never all that stable. And Lloyd isn't the only one chatting here who has been "published" in Anthro - your humble administrator is co-author of the temporarily-on-hiatus 'Bastard Assassins From Hell' series and the sole author of the "Pro-rights" side of the "Rights of the Transformed" essay. And I've also been published in the now defunct TSAT - that's where From Thesis to Synthesis was originally published (IIRC). :P -- ShadowWolf 06:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh my god...we're in the presence of...awesomeness. Can we open a fan club? Pleeeease? Then we can go and talk about how much we <3 you. I bet we'll get a lot of members!:P --Drake, 17:45, 29 June 2009

Okay, enough sarcasm there Wolfy. Don't make me go and edit the Pack to remove you entirely :P

Seriously, though, I have mentioned the three of you who haven't been in Anthro to Cubist and he's said he'll look at what you've got with an eye on a future issue. (Oh, and if it matters for anything, I actually have had poetry published in a print volume o.O) -- ShadowWolf 11:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Nah, it's more "minor exaggeration" than "sarcasm". It's cool that you wrote so much stuff, and Thesis to Synthesis was one of the essays that I found really helpful in the Writer's School. I do read there a lot. However, I've never found out where the Bastard Assassins from Hell series was, 'cos the link on your user page is gone, and neither have I read your Rights of the Transformed essay. Perhaps a link, please? :) --Drake, 20:04, 29 June 2009
