Title: *Sneaks in*
Post by: Leithri on September 12, 2010, 11:07:38 AM
Hello. I was a member of the old FW for about a month, before it was closed.

My interests and knowledge are... Well, hm. I style myself a polymath, so they're quite broad (though, ironically, I hate math). I suppose I may be a generalist, but I have particular expertise in the areas of computers and art, which are my primary subjects.

Er, I'm not very good at introductions. I do much better with questions, so feel free to ask any that you may have.

Hey, Lei. Welcome back. Always good to see you, even though I see you on YIM all the time (though rarely talk). Enjoy your stay.

Lei, Lei, Lei!

I love your name, if you can't tell. :P  You asked for questions, so I'ma give you questions!

  • What is your favorite genre to write?
  • You say you like art; creating or appreciating?
  • Do you have any words of advice for those entirely new to FW?
*holds her microphone to Lei and signals to camera man to get a shot of her tight to the chest*  >:|  The news is srs bsns!  Also, welcome back!  ^-^

I like questions, but the camera? Not so much. Eek.

- To write? Honestly, I don't write /too/ often, but when I do, it tends to be either fantasy or horror-related. My main problem with writing is, I can think up great settings and characters, but I can just never figure out an actual /plot/ to use them in.
- I love both. And I've been told that I'm pretty good at both. Unfortunately, very little of my art is furry-related, so far.
- I was here but only a month, the first time around. Am I suited to giving advice? Very well, I suppose it would be "Don't start drama; keep it to PMs and email. Everyone will like you much more.".

Riveting words from a riveting fur.  Really and truly.  *tosses away the microphone, revealing that it was never plugged into anything and that her camera man was really a cardboard cutout stolen from a video store sweepstakes*

I'd love to see some of your art sometime.  I'm a bit of an artist myself.  I don't have much furry-related stuff yet either (XP), but it's always fun to compare styles and discuss.

As for the writing, I have the opposite problem.  I can come up with plot with the snap of my fingers, especially if I've already got characters to work with, but coming up with good/original settings and characters to go in them is something that I've always struggled with.  Maybe we could work together sometime?  :p

And that is excellent advice, as well.  Hopefully, we won't have any problems with that here~!  :3  Welcome back to FW, Leithri!

Very well, I've posted some of my art in the general section. I'd be pleased to know what you think of them.
