The Volunteers are the outstanding members who are part of the Elfpack Crew, without being on the Council. They help out with various aspects of maintaining Elfpack. The hard work and dedication of the combined Volunteers and Council is what enables Elfpack to be ran smoothly and keep things in order. The Volunteers work directly with the members of the Council and thus are also considered to be members of Elfpacks' staff.

Volunteers who work diligently become Grasshoppers, to show that they go above and beyond the role of a normal Volunteer in helping Elfpack.

2005-03-05 [RabidSphinx]: next to my name, the things i help with are the pet wiki, and i work on the trivia, and i help out new members (though not officially i suppose)...but i figured, since i'm back here, might as-well get everything up and running again...(^_^")

2005-03-06 [Sunrose]: Fixed! I put up Newbie help to show you help n00bs :)

2005-03-07 [RabidSphinx]: woot! lol...i do...i have the most random people come to my house asking for help...lol...*sighs* thanks

2005-03-07 [Sunrose]: Welcome :)

2005-03-23 [Solitiaum]: Fantasma needs to go to Harbringers

2005-03-23 [Sunrose]: huh?

2005-03-24 [Solitiaum]: Hes a Harbringer, doesnt need to be a volunteer.

2005-03-24 [hello]: as is [MangledKitty]...

2005-03-24 [Sunrose]: Yes. And they are both volunteers. End.

2005-03-24 [Solitiaum]: Well, also, Fantasma is on there twice XD

2005-03-24 [Sunrose]: Where? :PP

2005-03-24 [De'ladrei]: oh im so confused with all of this lol

2005-03-24 [Solitiaum]: YOU FIXED IT, OMG BAN!! :O *runs*

2005-03-24 [Sunrose]: OOh noes! :O

2005-03-25 [Tear]: Hey, does that mean that if I am one of the Harbringers, that I am a Volunteer as well? Do I get a badge for that too? My house is going to get cluttered if I do.

2005-03-25 [RabidSphinx]: i think you can be both since a person does different things under each title/badge...(just what RD thinks)

2005-03-25 [Tear]: Oh really. So I have a new badge coming then?

2005-03-25 [RabidSphinx]: *shrugs* i have NO idea...i don't work that department....but, if you are a volunteer AND a Harb. then i guess so...

2005-03-25 [Tear]: Well, I am always trying to send people ideas as far as the other departments go, and I am Reviews Boss at the Ep Independent... But that only makes me a harbringer. *yawns* I am soo damn tired, why do I stay up so late?

2005-03-25 [RabidSphinx]: because the cool people like me come on late at night....(^_-)

2005-03-25 [Tear]: *bows down in awe of RaineDrop's coolness* Awkward how I find you people.

2005-03-25 [Tear]: I should go to sleep, I have to be at work at 7, and I don't think I am going to get much sleep.

2005-03-25 [RabidSphinx]: w00t! damn straight i'm cool! (^_^) people find me all the time in the oddest of places,....like, i'm sometimes the prize in the cerial box.....hehehe....and sleep? sleep is for the weak!

2005-03-25 [Tear]: Yes, but i do landscaping, which is just a pretty word to say bitch work and hard labor. I have to install sprinklers over an acre of land tomorrow, and then lay sod. I need to find a long sleeve shirt so I don't burn again.

2005-03-25 [RabidSphinx]: damn...that sucks...i hate the sun...but i know what you mean with "landscaping"....i work on a farm all summer, and so i have to tend gardens and animals all day long which is just as back breaking....(>.<)

2005-03-25 [Tear]: Anywho, off to sleep I go. G'night, hun.

2005-03-25 [RabidSphinx]: night! *waves*

2005-04-03 [tears of blood]: ur weird

2005-04-04 [Tear]: And you have no concept of the proper usage of words. *you **are

2005-04-10 [Dwemer]: I'd like to be a volunteer, any jobs maybe?

2005-04-11 [Tear]: Dwemer, I think that you are trying a bit hard to help out. Yes, it is a good thing, but all you have to do is send in an application, and we will consider you. If you keep asking, then you won't get a job.

2005-04-11 [Dwemer]: Teehee, yeah I know what you meen ^^ sorry...

2005-04-15 [matt b]: what kind of jobs are needed doing, as i want to help! :P

2005-04-22 [FireGypsy]: Im also helping in giffie-pet store and in EP independent.

2005-04-24 [Dwemer]: Erm, I really want to help, the giffie-pet store could use some help *points the finger to himself and looks in the air*

2005-04-24 [Tear]: [Dwemer] stick to what you have for now, they aren't asking for help, so you can't apply.

2005-04-25 [Solitiaum]: Actually, then *were* asking for help, I dont kow if they still are... But Tear is right, Dwem... Show us that youre reliable and dependable with what you have, ok?

2005-04-28 [Dwemer]: I will [Tear] and [Solitiaum] ^^

2005-05-05 [Dark Bones]: I heard giffie-pet store is looking for deliverers, i would like to be one as a volunteer, if i am allowed???

2005-05-05 [Sunrose]: You don't have the right privs to do that....

2005-05-05 [Tear]: Hey Sunrose, I don't know what happened to [The Dark Lord], but he hasn't been online in a while, and I have a few people who need badges on my reviews crew for the EPI. I already ran the name by [Solitiaum], and she told me to go to either one of you guys, can you help me out?

2005-05-05 [Sunrose]: [The Dark Lord] was here three hours ago, so he's been online. Just send him a private message :)

2005-05-05 [Tear]: Alrighty, I just never ever see him online. Thanks for telling me though.

2005-05-07 [insanitysetin]: So can you just volunteer to be one? Or such? I'm a bit confused.. want to be more involved with Elfpack.

2005-05-08 [Tear]: It is good that you want to be more involved, I suggest you ask someone, via private message about what they do. Like you would ask [Amalaswinta] if she needs any help with Toggery, or someone else about what they are doing. Sorry to you guys who don't want messages sent to you.

2005-05-08 [Solitiaum]: Actually, the hierarchy is thus: Toggery --> [Whim] :: Harbringers --> EP Independent wannabe's :: Elfpack Awards --> [Ringbearer] (for this new set) :: Giffie Pet Store --> [Anvikit] :: Trivia --> [Big Brother]

2005-05-08 [Sunrose]: But [Anvikit] isn't here much, so for Giffie-pet store [Big Brother] can also help :)

2005-05-08 [Solitiaum]: Okie ^_^

2005-05-08 [Gone4eva]: owww

2005-05-08 [Tear]: I was just giving an example of what to do. Yeah, but like i said, please don't ask for a position in the comment box, message someone about it instead, otherwise you might not get the job you wanted.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: well if you need any help with anything, let me know

2005-05-08 [Sunrose]: There is help needed for Elfpack Recommended Page :)

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: well, im your girl ,what would you like done?

2005-05-08 [Sunrose]: Someone to take care of those pages. Nothing is happening yet, but there will. [Solitiaum] also volunteered, so you can work together with her :)

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: ofcourse when will it be up and running then?

2005-05-08 [Sunrose]: It already is :)

2005-05-08 [Tear]: I would help out, but I have soo much other junk to do. But hey, if you guys need a hand, and I have some free time, pop me a message and I will do what I can.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: lol i see, and what needs done?

2005-05-08 [Sunrose]: Well the wiki needs to be taken care of when members start to suggest wikis and so on :)

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: i see, well, i will be there as a watchfull eye, im sory, i havent been much help for the passed wile..just....things are so bad at the moment..fighing myself so i wont cry....so if im busy i wont...*smiles weakly*

2005-05-08 [Sunrose]: Ahw :/ *hug* hope you're ok!

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: *hugs back* im fine..i will have to be..wont i lol....just...*sighs* why are men and friends so complacted? woops....now ive started...*wipes cheeks dry*

2005-05-08 [Sunrose]: *huggles tight* men are men.. :/

2005-05-08 [Tear]: Men aren't complicated. Women just assume they are, because women are complicated. So they think that everything else should be as well. Men are just soo simple that a woman won't know what is happeneing with them because they are expecting something big, when in reality nothing is going on. Did that make any sense to you guys?

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: none what so ever....*wipes tears again* im sorry...god..im pathetic lol

2005-05-08 [Whim]: made sense to me, of course, I'm just a simple guy...hehehe.

2005-05-08 [Tear]: See, [Whim] knows what I am saying. But then again, what does that make gay dudes? Are they just complicated men?

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: but, you guys dont know the suition...nor do i think u wanna know..so i will just shut up now

2005-05-08 [Tear]: We all have problems hun, some more than others. My way of putting it, "Keep on truckin'" or "Hit the bottle"

2005-05-08 [Tear]: I wonder, if we are on the EPI, does that make us a volunteer as well? And would that mean that I am missing a badge? Or do we just get the harbringers one.

2005-05-08 [Whim]: I can easily reduce any problem into a simple yes or no solution.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: luck you..i cant...espacilly with my problem, its to big and complacted

2005-05-08 [Tear]: *bows down to Sifu [Whim]* teach me oh master, and whip me many times....

2005-05-08 [Tear]: I am soo hungover right now it isn't funny. I had way to much to drink and smoke last night.

2005-05-08 [Tear]: Shit, I can't even say last night, it was all early this morning

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: i think i might just get drunk..do problems go away if u drink alot?

2005-05-08 [Whim]: some problems do, but then you get new problems, so the question is, "Which problems are worse--natural ones or alcohol related ones?"

2005-05-08 [Tear]: Not permanently, but you will forget for a little while, and regret it in the morning when you wake up with a massive headache and find out someone drew a happy face on your chest with nipples for eyes and you are next to vomit spot.

2005-05-08 [Tear]: Speaking of alcohol related problems. I need some aspirin like now. I am gonna find some and then sleep until I sober up a bit. Ciao y'all

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: well, my problem just wont go away..im now completely exausted

2005-05-08 [Whim]: that's partly because you allow the problems to bother you. Most problems can be fixed if you stay relaxed.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: haha, i wish!!!! usualy i dont show any of my emosions.....maybe thats y im exausted

2005-05-08 [Whim]: staying relaxed isn't about hiding emotions, it's about genuinly being relaxed. It helps to laugh at the situation, no matter how bad it is. You'll find that everything is capable of being funny.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: yeah, real funny..."yay my friend might die! lets all laugh"

2005-05-08 [Whim]: well, it would be pretty cool to know you were gonna die in like a couple of weeks, cause then you got nothing to lose, so you can just go do whatever the hell you want. Dying people don't take advantage of the situation often enough.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: omg! hey! thats my best mate ur talking about!

2005-05-08 [Whim]: I'm looking at this from a positive position. If he knows he's gonna die, then this could possibly be the greatest days of his life. I'd get like a whole bunch of credit cards and travel to all the places I always wanted to see and do all the things I always wanted to do if I knew I was going to die soon.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: is a she! and with what she might have she cant

2005-05-08 [Whim]: either way my point stands. And what is it that she can't have? There's always a way. I mean, if she's gonna die, then obviously she can't just get her life back, but she can enjoy what's left of it.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: she might not even have it, it dosnt stop me from worrying.....and i might die 2 so yay for death!..and i lossed the love of my life due to a friend..i gave him up for her so my life is great at the moment

2005-05-08 [Whim]: and what fatal illness is attacking you and your friends?

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: its diffrent, i dont have what she might have..if that makes sence...but i wont die..i dont think

2005-05-08 [Whim]: well, the point is, if she has something like that, it's natural to be sad, but there's no reason why it has to be the worst experience ever. Make the best of the situation.

2005-05-08 [Gone4eva]: YAY i got a chater box at my xanga

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: i cant loose her though, she's an amazing friend, and i gave up love for her, she cant leave me#

2005-05-08 [Whim]: well, if you care about her, then make sure she enjoys life while she still can. There's no sense in anyone wasting the last days of their life crying.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: i dont know what i would do if i lost her

2005-05-08 [Whim]: well, worry about that when you actually do lose her. She's still existant at the moment, so yet again, it's senseless to cry about it.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: well, thats not my only problem at the moment

2005-05-08 [Whim]: then focus on the problems that are actually problems right now. There's no need to focus on a problem that you're not even sure is a problem. Not only is your friend not dead yet, she also doesn't know that she's gonna die. So while it's sweet and all that you care so much about your friend, there's also not a real problem there yet, so focus on the actual established problems.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: im being pathetic lol

2005-05-08 [Whim]: no, you're being human, but that doesn't mean you have to be...hehe.

2005-05-08 [Nevermore.]: lol....well, im gonna shut up now..and dry my tears..i just think that all my problems are loading down on me

2005-05-09 [ShadowSong]: so...... well.. i help at two wikis... am i a volunteer?

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: Aye. ^_^

2005-05-10 [ShadowSong]: then why haven't i got my badge yet?.... could i get one please?

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: Sunrose will see the change made and drop one for you ^_^

2005-05-10 [Whim]: I need an illustrator/artist to help me. Qualifying and devoted artists have the potential to achieve fame, glory, and possibly a little extra income. Message me with some samples of your work and I'll provide more details.

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: o.O Well, you know I can draw/colour... What type are you looking for?

2005-05-10 [Whim]: I need a particular style for the illustrations in my book. I honestly can't say that I've seen what I'm looking for in your work. Doesn't mean you don't do good work--just means it's not exactly what I'm looking for. Although if you're eager to prove me wrong, show me some sketches of the characters in my story.

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: Means Ill need to read your story... you should know that anime/manga isnt all I draw though, ne?

2005-05-10 [Whim]: hehe...I know. But it's all I've really seen, with the exception of a few other things, but I'm not entirely opposed to using illustrations of asian influence...hehe.

2005-05-10 [Tear]: I can draw, but it usually takes me a shitload of time. I should scan some of my work and submit it.

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: Yus. I'll read, and we shall see.

2005-05-10 [Whim]: well, I don't mind it taking time because I still have a lot of revision and proofreading and such before I can do anything with the illustrations. But yeah, I will eventually be needing at least 16 pieces...possibly more.

2005-05-10 [Tear]: WHOA! 16 per person? Or 16 in total? I don't draw that much, I only do it when I find the fancy.

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: I believe he means 16 in total. Perhaps one for each chapter?

2005-05-10 [Whim]: I want ONE artist so the art is consistant throughout the book. That ONE artist will need to do 16 different pieces for me. They don't have to be colored, because I can color them myself. I just at least eventually need no less than 16 pieces. Yes, it's a lot, but it's also going to be a professional project. I have no intention of halfassing it which is why I am more than willing to work with whoever the illustrator is and even pay them a portion of any profit I make.

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: Hm. You know Id need a base fee for the effort, ne? The sketches for your original consideration would be free, but if you accept them...

2005-05-10 [Solitiaum]: Id be ok with none of the profits though ^_^

2005-05-10 [Whim]: If I could afford a base fee, I wouldn't be digging for an illustrator on Elfpack...hehe. So whoever does decide to go with me on this will have to accept the fact that their compensation is based upon the opinion of the general public and their willingness to buy my work. Being on board with me as an illustrator would put you in a position of creative control. I make the words--you make the pictures. That makes you co-owner of my project and therefore entitled to half of all profits. So basically that also means that since I get no base fee, then neither do you...hehe.

2005-05-10 [Tear]: What type of theme would they pictures have to be? If I see someone elses artwork, i can sort of mimic the style, if necessarry, or if it is too hard for the person to give in 16 pieces.

2005-05-10 [Whim]: I need something sort of cartoonish, but at the same time I want a serious look. Think Cowboy Bebop or maybe even the batman cartoon from the 90s. Sure, they're cartoons and they're not always realistic looking, but it's always a believable look with not a lot of wacky faces.

2005-05-10 [Whim]: Also take into consideration the fact that if you have a really nice looking professional book that you can show off, you will get a good bit of recognition in the future.

2005-05-10 [Whim]: So 16 pieces may be worth the effort.

2005-05-11 [Love me joe C]: [Love me joe C] i need mor time

2005-05-12 [Tear]: Cartoonish isn't a theme. I mean like fantasy fairy like, sci-fi cartoony, or random anime cartoony?

2005-05-12 [Whim]: like action/adventure/comedy

2005-05-17 [Whim]: The toggery committee is looking to hire a new member. We're looking for someone who is willing and able to devote some time into making the game of Toggery more effective and running more smoothly. Such benefits of becoming part of the toggery committee are your own personalized Toggery card and a chance to prove that you're worthy of greater titles such as guard or council member.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i would help, but damn it i can't understand that game....(>_<")

2005-05-18 [Whim]: you're too unstable anyway. I wouldn't pick you for such an important position...hehe.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: awww....*starts crying* i'm so worthless!!!

2005-05-18 [Whim]: well...yeah.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: *falls to the floor in a heap and sobs*

2005-05-18 [Whim]: oh yeah...that helps...

2005-05-18 [Tear]: That was mean! But kinda funny, in a weird way.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: Well, you pretty much get the same response no matter what you say.

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: Raine, show Whim your art. I'll bet he could use it for his own book. Tear, dont be mean.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: *latches onto [Whim]'s ankel and starts biting*

2005-05-18 [Whim]: I think I offered at one point and got a negative response, Katey.

2005-05-18 [Tear]: I am not being mean! I swear I am not! [Whim] said it, I only said it was funny! *runs behind Kate*

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: *chuckles and pulls her leash till shes off him, then petpets and gives a cookie* Seriously though. Post the link to your art page.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i don't recall an offer whim....*blinks*

2005-05-18 [Whim]: it was a while back. Maybe I'm mistaken. But basically it was an invitation to sketch my three main characters to see if you could get the job done.

2005-05-18 [Tear]: Raine has excellent drawings. I like her vampire dude.

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: TEAR! If youre going to laugh at someone else's expense, do it in your OWN mind, dont go messing with someone else's!! And [Whim], here. Rainedrop's Page

2005-05-18 [Tear]: *laughs at Kate* Like this? *runs again*

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: *falls to the floor and sobs again* mean boys laughing at me!!!

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: *uses a bull whip to catch him round the waist and reel him back to her* I said stop, and Im deadly serious. Got it?

2005-05-18 [Tear]: I was laughing at you, Kate, not Raine. Ouchies

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: I. Dont. Care. Me or anyone else, its rude and small minded to laugh at someone else's expense.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: Yeah, I know she's a good artist. My only concern would be whether or not she can do action shots and characters who aren't quite so dark/gothic. Which is why she's welcome to try my characters.

2005-05-18 [Tear]: I need to find a new hobby. And it was all in play, Kate.

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: I would tend to agree on the new hobby thing, but I thought I was your new hobby XD

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i do gothic...sorry... :/ anything else just looks gothic when i draw it anyways...as for action...i *can* draw it...but i'm never in the mood...mostly i just do character sketches for my story, trying to find a look i like best for each character of mine

2005-05-18 [Tear]: Aye, that you are, Kate, that you are. *goes and finds another vat of motion lotion*

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: am i still worthless [Whim]?

2005-05-18 [Whim]: Well, if you decide you want to try, you're more than welcome to. If they look too gothic, I can probably edit and color them to look more natural, but your style is about appropriate for my story, other than the tiny criticisms I just stated.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: well, worthless to me, unless you pump out good character sketches for my story...lol.

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: Was my thought, Brett... its cartoonish but serious...

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: ooohh...i feel the love! but i won't do it...hehhe...i suck when asked/comanded to draw....if i *try* it sucks...if i'm borde in mathclass and doodeling on lined papaer, it's my best drawing ever....damn Murphy

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: *chuckles* Is that why I never got that sexy pic of the Sunrose clone I asked for? Speaking of asking... have you got my bunneh sexy ladeh of EP piccy done that you told me you were doing?

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: (>_<) maybe....but my art was stolen....a notebook with 47 inked, sighned, and completed drawings were stolen...i have NOTHING left...all the scanned drawings on my wiki? gone...gone gone gone...*sobs*

2005-05-18 [Whim]: yeah, doesn't matter. I got time cause I still need lots of revision and such before the first bit is released. If worse comes to worse, I'll make myself draw well..hehe.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i'm 12 chapters into my 3rd re-write of my story...so far i likes it

2005-05-18 [Whim]: not to sound cruel, rainedrop, but that was kind of your own fault. I could understand giving someone one or two drawings, but an entire notebook? Too much. Your judgement was a bit blurred.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i never give out original work...even my friends get scanned copies....mhy work was stolen out of my bag....i have no idea who has it now

2005-05-18 [Whim]: I've only been working on mine for like a month or so and I've got 7 chapters, but no actual revisions.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: ok, that. i thought you were talking about that guy who was actually a girl.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: mine is ALMOST 2 years 9old now...55 completed chapters, one 1/2 done, and one to go...then 12 chapters as of now, revised yet again...

2005-05-18 [Whim]: why do you have so many chapters?

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: oh, tiffany? ha! the bitch only got scanned coppies of my drawings too....little cunt

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: my story is just long....i spend alot of time on detail and character and plot development....just all part of my style

2005-05-18 [Tear]: Where did Kate go? Oh my lord, I thought i was the only one who actually still called people a "cunt".

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i reserve the use of that word for special people

2005-05-18 [Tear]: I see. I use that word religiously, and I get odd looks everytime I use it.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: Yeah, but I think when stories get that long, people tend to break them up into "books"...hehe.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: mine can't be....the whole plot just takes that long to develop...if i cut it up, then there would be no point to the first book...just about some teenages, going to school, doing some stuff, leading you towards the plot...............besides...this is book one of two...i already cut it in half

2005-05-18 [Tear]: Do what Charles Dickens did with a Tale of Two Cities, and release them in installments.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: Well, that's what you throw in a mini-plot perhaps. Something that can end a book after about 20 chapters, but still leave readers hanging for book 2.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i like my book the way it is thak you very much....haven't had a complaint from my readers yet. i have 102 registured readers....(^_^)

2005-05-18 [Tear]: What is the link to it? I am interested.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: hehehe...well, yeah, that's because it's just online. If you were to ever want to publish, you'd have such a thick book that people wouldn't want to touch it. It'd be too intimidating of a read. of course, we've talked about this before, and you showed no interest in publishing it

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: RaineDrop's Page!...i only have up to chapter 09 of the edit/rewrite posted...10-12 will be up later tonight....13-51 are just what i have posted to make my readers happy

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: nope...none at all...and i prefere longer books to shorter ones...i just finished a 400 page book today....loved it...the whole series is 11 books or so long...some 300, some 800 pages long

2005-05-18 [Whim]: yes, but from a marketing point of view, you'd do better to sell smaller books since your readers would tend to be of a younger crowd, such as teens, and teens want books that are like 200-300 pages long. Anything more really is intimidating, so they'll be more likely to reject it. On top of that, more books means more money cause you can hook a lot of readers on the series so they'll not only buy the first book, but the second, third, fourth, etc.

2005-05-18 [Tear]: Davinci Code, *drool*. Methinks she is writing for her pleasure more then anything else.

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: LOL, that was random!

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: my book is an adult book, not meant, nor intended for young readers. i hated the Davinci code...worst book i ever had to read....and yes, i write for the sake of writing...not for the idea of marketing the finished product to anyone but those who feel like reading it

2005-05-18 [Solitiaum]: It was interesting, from my point of view...

2005-05-18 [Whim]: oh I know, tear. I was only speaking hypothetically...hehe. I do that sometimes. I think I stopped talking about just her book about two comments ago and now I've gone into businessman mode where I rant about the most efficient way to control the masses.

2005-05-18 [Tear]: I read it just because, I thought it was cool, but I only put that here, because you said you liked long books, and it happens to be long.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: just because it's meant to be an adult book, doesn't mean that it won't catch the eye of teens first. It's of a gothier nature, correct? There are many more goth teens than goth adults.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: i thought it was blasphemous, insulting, and just plain boring...just because it's long doesn't mean i'll like it...Bill Clinton wrote a 900 page book that i NEVER plan to touch...the reviews said it was the most borning pice of work ever

2005-05-18 [Tear]: [Whim] has a point with that. And i would never read a book from Bill Clinton.

2005-05-18 [Whim]: I like blasphemy. And people take the davinci code too seriously. Even if it was meant to be serious and truthful, too many people take it seriously. Why can't people just enjoy a good read or a good piece of art without trying to disect it?

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: if it catches a younger reader's eye, then it's up to them to read it. i didn't wriite it for them, so, if they are so inclined, they can knock themselves out and read it. but i will not listen to them when they say they want more sex in the book and fewer problems...

2005-05-18 [Whim]: well, yeah, rainedrop, but that's not the point. My point was that if you were trying to market the book, then in order to make the most money, you'd do things to appease the teen crowds, even if you still said that it was an adult book.

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: because the book was insulting....saying jesus had a bastard son with a whore is very insulting...i wouldn't be able to "enjoy a good read" due to being too offended by the content. i didn't een enjoy the style. it wasn't "art" to me...just crap

2005-05-18 [RabidSphinx]: teens can kiss my ass. if they don't like my book, guess i'm not getting published as a means of retirement
