CasiCane. Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 My name's Cassidy. I'm 17, and live in the US. Well I initially joined this just so I could apply for a Content Writer for the site, but it looks like it could be fun ^_^ I get on neopets about.....an hour a day, sometimes longer if I'm really into something. I like to chat on instant messengers, roleplay, and cook. Right now I am in the Culinary Arts program at the local Vocational School. I have a boyfriend whom I have been with for almost 15 months. I have been all over the United States, been to over half the states probably. I'm currently writing my own book, which I hope will be published someday. In all the stuff I've posted so far I seem quite mellow probably. But I'm not x_x I can be mature and serious when I need to be, but when I'm just out with friends or chatting, I like to have lots of fun and make jokes. Peace.

Stephé Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hey Cassidy, welcome to TDNForums! My name's Stephanie. Good luck on the content writer application! Hehe, you're in luck with all the members, there's the 'insanely' friendly people with the mature and helpful around here. ^_^ Ohhh, what type of book are you writing? Well, remember to read the rules and stay active! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasiCane. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thankies ^_^ Lol I usually am insanely friendly...sometimes >.> <.< >.> Thanks though haha, my sample for the application was pretty bad for now *twitch* But who knows right? I'm writing a book about a vampire that has split personalities. The book is about him and a human girl. His normal personality, which he has been for most his life, and the girl HATE eachother. But she ends up meeting his other side and they end up falling in love, and they have to hide it and stuff since he has two sides. It's a bit confusing at first hehe, but I'm hoping to get it done...ehh....within 2 years, 1 if I'm lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi Cassidy! Welcome to TDNF! The book sounds really interesting. Is there a title we should be watching for? Anywho, as Stephanie said, make sure you read the rules and such, and if anyone offers (as they undoubtedly will), DON'T eat the cookies! ~ Livvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasiCane. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 *nibbles cookies from random member* hm? I haven't thought of a title yet, I'm actually taking suggestions for it =3 And any ideas for cover-art. But so far I only have about....13 pages on Microsoft Word done? BUT I already know how it's going to end, and that I plan on writing a sequel XD I just need to get all the middle and stuff for this one done.

jun Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Good Luck cassidy! I am positive you will love this site! Its very nice to meet you, if you ever need anything, please feel free to PM me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm no good with titles, so I'm afraid I can't help you there. *shrug* But I'm sure there are people around here who would be glad to help you think of a title. TDNF members are overall helpful people. Ha, that's the EXACT opposite of how I write. (I write short stories every now and then when I'm bored, which doesn't happen often now because of homework...) I always start with the middle, find out how it's going to end as I go along, and then go back and stare at the top of the page until I can think of a beginning. Not the most efficient way to write. Maybe that's why I can only do short stories... Oh well. Tons of luck with your book, and let me know when you've got a title so I know what to watch for! =] ~ Livvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasiCane. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thank you Jun, I'll be sure to do that. ^_^ Ohhh I'd like to see one of your stories if they're open for anyone to read =3. Eh, who cares if it's efficient, works for you. I may start a new topic in an appropriate area of TDNF with a short section of my book. However I will have to edit it lots heh. But you shall have to check it out when I do and see how it looks ^_____^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstream Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi Cassidy! Welcome to TDNF. My name is Will or Unstream, whichever you want to call me by. It's cool meeting you! I like your idea for you book. It's definitely interesting. A couple questions though, why a vampire and is the girl immortal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasiCane. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Heya Will, saw you on a couple other topics I was reading ^__^ Thankies. Now about the book. I really love vampires. Roleplaying them, reading about them, movies. Don't know why o_O They're intriguing? Plus I mean, it definately adds for the drama ;) And right now the girl is mortal, but who knows what the ending could bring *sneakyface* >__> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'd love to read what you have so far! (You may end up with a second editor of sorts, as I tend to compulsively edit things, and have been editing my friend's short stories since she got into them. Her stories are good, but her spelling is atrocious, so I mostly edit spelling and grammatical errors. But I won't edit if you'd rather I not. Just an offer in case you want a second opinion. =] ) If you start a topic for your book, I'll post one or two of my better short stories on the same topic (if that's okay.) I kinda lost a lot of them when my hard drive crashed though. =[ ~ Livvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasiCane. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Aww that sucks *hug* Oh trust me, I am a spelling and grammar nut also!! But there is maybe one thing I'm unsure about, is the indents and punctuation after/before a character is speaking? It bugs me soo bad because I don't know if it's horribly off or really close or what >____< Where should I post it at, in the Art Section? *tilts head* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livvy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The Art section sounds like a good place to me. *shrug* It depends how you're using them. Some quick examples of where the quotes and indents and such go: (Most common is when the character begins talking without having done something in the previous paragraph) "Hey Marc," Alana said cheerily, seating herself on the chair beside him. "Have you seen Livia recently?" (If you're already describing a character when he/she says something) Livia walked into the room and scanned it quickly. She saw Alana waving her over, and made her way across the room to join her. "Hey Alana," Livia smiled. She saw Marc and her cheeks reddened. "And Marc. What's up?" (If the character is talking and does something while talking, and you don't want to interrupt the flow of the dialogue) "So, what's going on with you and...?" Alana asked, tilting her head towards Remy. "Well, um, it's kind of" Livia glanced over at Marc nervously "a little awkward to explain in the present company." Any other examples you particularly need? (Is that what you were asking about? I'll feel really silly if I put all that up there and you meant something entirely different. =P ) ~ Livvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasiCane. Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nah that works I think lol. I'll go post a bit for now, and let me know if you want me to post more, since I don't want it all up there at once. I'll most likely go through and edit all the grammar and stuff mistakes after it's finished though, which will probably drive me nuts, but eh. It happens.

Captain Awesome Pants Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Too many posts all ready for me... so I stopped reading them. Here's what I would do. Take a snippet of your book, and post it in the section that is for the posting of stuff like that (brain fart, can't remember name). Then ask for the name ideas. And I'd love to try my hand at making some cover art for you (or at least, a sketch as I can't do anything computery) and I'm sure many of the members here would love to too, but we'd need descriptions... So yeah, look into that if you want. I'm Laura, by the way. I'm not insanely friendly, I'm just insane. (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasiCane. Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 There is a bit already called VERY short bit of my story or something like that in the Art section? I can't remember, whichever is for drawings and writings heh. Actually, I don't really care what the cover is lol. As long as it looks good and may have a little something to do with the book. Somebody mentioned to me about having a picture of the vampire with half his face nice and the other mean looking....but that sounds too cliche' and corny for me. I want something different. Right now I just have a little bit of it posted, but if you would like the next little tidbit I have done, just ask and I'll post it on the same thread ^__^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
