inspiration for all things rodent.
solomonlopez : be honest, midgit is just our
inspiration period

advocate8704
: is it still

midgitbard : we were never on partice time apparently*g*
midgitbard
: oh
dear
advocate8704 : ooooo
midgitbard : it is quite obvious
all we
bards desperately need
beta readers
advocate8704 : so midgit, what is your favorite story?
(from your
own work(
solomonlopez : some more so than others
midgitbard :
I think my first story, Everything, which isn't
uber
advocate8704 : really? cool.
midgitbard :
just becasue it's my first
advocate8704 : you always remember your first? *snicker*
midgitbard
: but my favourite
uber, to write, is Cold
solomonlopez
: yes the first is
always special isn't it
midgitbard
: right
solomonlopez :
is it because one of the characters is named for me?
midgitbard : and I refused to have an e-mail addy on it, becasue I thought folks would write and tell me it was rubbish
advocate8704
: what
instincts
midgitbard : that must be it Steph
solomonlopez :
what made you sit dwn and write 'everything?"
advocate8704 :
i have a list of queliquor
advocate8704 : arghghhhhhghghghghgh
midgitbard : I'd started reading fanfiction,
and wanted
to write
an adventure
advocate8704 : don't mind me. my machine is having a nervous breakdown.
midgitbard
: wanted to put
them in an awful situation
solomonlopez
: had you written
anything before that?
midgitbard
: but wanted Gabby
to be the one in trouble
midgitbard
: nope,
never
advocate8704 : what's the first FF you ever read? or the one that inspired you to write.
midgitbard : The first was All Through the
Night, By Rebekkah
midgitbard
: The first Alt.
Was The Cabin
advocate8704
: oh my
advocate8704 :
did your toes curl?
solomonlopez : good ones to start with
midgitbard : First uber,(which
I resisted
for a
long time)
Lucifer Rising
midgitbard
: Couldn't believe
alt, to start with, thought, Oh MY
midgitbard : neve thought I'd write it
advocate8704 : oh yeah. same here. i was like: Can they put that on the internet!?
midgitbard : right, I was such an innocent
then
redbackredback : did Lucifer Rising inspire you to try your
hand at writing uber???
midgitbard : nope., Dar and Kerry did that
sobbie: um advocate the internet was developed mostly for porn
solomonlopez :
my very first story was the tavern, i could barely read it at
the computer
midgitbard :
but I wanted an uberX that would fail
more
advocate8704 : did LOL.well, that's not where i
was surfing.
advocate8704 : was it harder or easier to write alt than you thought it'd be, midgit?
midgitbard
: surprisingly
easy, once you got your mind round it
solomonlopez : was alpop your first uber?
midgitbard : actually, I started writing This Time, and gave up on
it
midgitbard : soem stories just stall
midgitbard :
and you just can't get it going again
advocate8704 :
do you
have a
favorite all
time classic
and/or uber?
midgitbard : it's gotta be Lucifer, and just about anything Bel Wah writes
solomonlopez : other than the story of me
naturally
advocate8704 : naturally
midgitbard : oh yeah,
gerda24
: did you write
anything before fanfiction?
midgitbard
: nope,
always wanted to, but fanfic finally gave me the inspiration
midgitbard
: never thought I'd
write an uber though
advocate8704
: what
do you
think of
the trend
of bard's
having their
works published?
solomonlopez
: do you find it
difficult to try and change your proper english to something we Americans can understand?
midgitbard : it's not something I want to do, it's up to the author
midgitbard :
sometimes I have to use Americanisms
midgitbard :
just to make it easy for ya
solomonlopez :
like bangs?
advocate8704 : like what, for instance?
midgitbard : but I do like to put the odd word in to confuse
midgitbard :
bangs is a noise, I refuse to use that for
hair*g*
midgitbard : I like to use rhyming slang sometimes
advocate8704 : fringe is what's around
the end
of Dolly
Parton's dress. but we still read your stuff *G *
midgitbard
: but
no-one's called me on it, so I guess they just think it's an error
solomonlopez
: high five
advocate
advocate8704 : lol
midgitbard : d'oh!
midgitbard
: so what do you
think of Cold Addy and Streph?
solomonlopez : uh
solomonlopez : well
midgitbard : exactly
solomonlopez
: you tell her
advocate
advocate8704 : uh
midgitbard : my good friends refuse to read it until it's done
midgitbard :
they think I won't finish it
midgitbard :
but it just has two more parts
sobbie: I think it is great
midgitbard
: thank
you
midgitbard : someome with faith in my ability
to finish something
solomonlopez
: I've heard good
things about it*G*
advocate8704 : steph do you see how cold she was to us?
midgitbard : Hi Jude
solomonlopez
: hey judith
squrl1298 :
i love the cliff hangers...these two characters have so much-character
advocate8704 : Judith!
meshuggepupcnz
: Hello
everyone!!
sobbie: btw you ever gonna finish
heaven?
advocate8704 : yup. i truly have heard WONDERFUL things
about Cold
midgitbard : I like cliffhangers too
midgitbard :
darn, I don't know
midgitbard : I have no inspiration to
meshuggepupcnz : While you are writing cold do other plot thoughts pop into your head
sobbie: oh ok
midgitbard : I'll never attempt another sequel
squrl1298 : are going to
continue the story of jo
and rocky once Cold is
complete?
meshuggepupcnz : Never say never Midgi
midgitbard
: doubt it, this
little episode in their life is the story
advocate8704 : fans love sequels
meshuggepupcnz : yes we do
midgitbard
: why?
meshuggepupcnz :
because one can never tell the whole story
squrl1298 :
their story is only beginning
midgitbard : The whole story IMHO is the meeting and the growing love story
advocate8704 : personally... i love when stories move beyond that 'first time' stuff and delve deeper into the characters
sobbie:
cause we cant get enough of the good
characters
meshuggepupcnz : nah that is just the appetizer
midgitbard :
that's what i like writing
meshuggepupcnz : Well as your
devotees we want you to
write only what you feel comfortable with of course
midgitbard
: wel, we'll
see
meshuggepupcnz : Is everyone here reading cold may I
ask?
midgitbard : heh
squrl1298 : yes
wonderwho77 : yes
advocate8704 : God, not again.
sobbie: I am
js82640 : yes
solomonlopez : that is what I was thinking to addy
solomonlopez : too..sheesh
midgitbard
: good job someone
is
meshuggepupcnz : god not again what
solomonlopez :
some people don't read stories in progress
meshuggepupcnz :

advocate8704
: Migit
already publically spanked
us for
not reading
it till
it's done
meshuggepupcnz : oh yes THOSE people
midgitbard :
right, my good chumlies
meshuggepupcnz : well I guess
if you haved burned by a really
good story it is understandable
advocate8704
: but
look how
loyal we
are. we
aren't even
here to
beg for
updates!
midgitbard : right
advocate8704
: because we love
Midgit. nuff said
sobbie: I want updates
meshuggepupcnz : mIDIGIT IS WHY
solomonlopez
: we are here to
support our tiny little friend
meshuggepupcnz
: SHOOT why is everyhting caps I hate it
when that happens
meshuggepupcnz
: LOL
advocate8704 :
i have a burning question i must ask
midgit
midgitbard : oh boy
sobbie: that little button called cap lock maybe
advocate8704 : what's the most over indulgent thing
you've ever
eaten in
a fit
of depression?
midgitbard
: I was going to
say that
advocate8704 : like a whole pack of cookies.. or
whatever.
midgitbard : I don't eat, I drink, as you
know
advocate8704 : LOL
advocate8704 : no food? i find this a telling question
about people's personalities
sobbie:
acutally I was wondering about that
advocate8704 :
i asked
someone the
other day
and the
reply was
a pound
of bacon@
advocate8704 : i was fascinated!
sobbie: most of your uber characters tend to over indulge
meshuggepupcnz :
I can eat a pound of bacon:}
midgitbard : that's cool, Addy
midgitbard
: my
characters?
advocate8704 : your ALOP were borderline problem
cases, weren't they?
meshuggepupcnz : they overindulge only in
angnst
advocate8704 : LOL. Judith
midgitbard :
oh yeah, but Eden couldn't take her
drink
midgitbard : get getting lost in a small
bush
midgitbard : shrubbery I mean
gerda24 : there is a
lot of eating in uberstories, why is that you
think?
advocate8704
: lol
solomonlopez :
which of your characters...other than Xena of
course, do you most relate to...who is most like
you?
midgitbard
: I don't know, I
always forget to have them eat
midgitbard
: Gosh,
they
midgitbard : 're all pretty cool, so none of
them are me
meshuggepupcnz
: because food is sexy
and very very social
midgitbard
: I was Annie the
bus driver in ALPOP
advocate8704
: why haven't we
seen a Xena: Warrior Bus Driver?
sobbie: lol
midgitbard : I thought about that, too much
carnage on the road
meshuggepupcnz
: she can't sit behind
the wheel with that sword
solomonlopez
: it would have to be
a chariot
meshuggepupcnz : and right
now she can't see above the dash board
advocate8704 : "What! No exact change?!" Slash. Hack. Slash.
midgitbard :
right
gerda24 : are you a busdriver in Bath
solomonlopez : think of the
angst of not having a
bus pass for the right day
midgitbard : unfrotunatley, yes
advocate8704 : or driving right by you when your standing
at the
stop. ANGST
CITY!!@
midgitbard : I come up with the best plots driving around the city
advocate8704 :
Midgit, if
any one
of your
body parts
could be
bionic... which would you pick?
meshuggepupcnz : Ali any bizarre feedback on
Cold?
midgitbard : yeah, some folks read more into it than I write., I'm not that clever
midgitbard
: they seem to
think I know what I'm talking about
midgitbard : I have no idea what will happen until I sit at the computer
meshuggepupcnz
: read more of what
into it?
solomonlopez : as long
as they don't thnk you are using your stories to communicate with them...
midgitbard
: um, the
relationship
meshuggepupcnz
: elaborate
please?
midgitbard : and if there's a message behind
the story, a moral
midgitbard
: my brain
Ad
advocate8704 : that doesn't count
midgitbard :
oh
meshuggepupcnz : they dont make bionic parts that small
advocate8704 : LOL!
sobbie: lol
midgitbard : Cold came about when I imagined this phot of a homeless girl
midgitbard : it grew from there
meshuggepupcnz :
are you saying that you are writing no moral ideas into the story conciously, no messages we should take away
midgitbard : I make it up as I go along
midgitbard : it's changed hugely from the simple love story it was going to be
meshuggepupcnz
: do you ever write ideas for the story ahead of where you
are in the story
midgitbard : nope, never
meshuggepupcnz
: or is it a form of
stream of conciouness
midgitbard
: uh,
yeah?
midgitbard : I guess
meshuggepupcnz : can anybody here spell conciouness?:}
squrl1298 : do the characters take you places you never thought of?
sobbie: not me
savmut : nope I can't
midgitbard : I think they do
js82640
: consciousness
squrl1298 :
conciousness
meshuggepupcnz : Well ya know
what Midgit. that form of
writing works mighty well fer ya
midgitbard : thanks, Jude
advocate8704
: if
the Xenaverse disappeared
tomorrow and
you lost
your forum,
would you
still write
only for
yourself? Or
would most
of the
fun be
gone?
meshuggepupcnz : I mean it sincerely~~
meshuggepupcnz : oh good one Ad
midgitbard
: it'll
be interesting though,
when folks
read it
all in
one go
to see
if it
flows well
midgitbard : oooh, I don;t know
meshuggepupcnz :
Well remember I didn't come in till
quite far along and I
read thru it very enthusiastically
midgitbard
: I
love the
feedback, don't think I could write to an empty room so to speak
advocate8704 : right
meshuggepupcnz
: has feedback ever confused where you were going witha story
meshuggepupcnz
: negative or
positive
midgitbard : oh yeah, you know what happened to me with ALPOP when I got a negative mail
meshuggepupcnz
: no expand
advocate8704 :
what were folks moaning about?
midgitbard :
threw me into a hissy fit
midgitbard : said the plot didn't work
meshuggepupcnz : and
midgitbard : said my uberX was wrong to run out
on Eden
advocate8704 : well that was true, of course
*G*
advocate8704 : but you still pulled it out. and besides..
it's your
story to
tell.
midgitbard : I know, but it was a part of her character
meshuggepupcnz : So your writing was stymied for a time?
advocate8704 : exactly
midgitbard
: it
was, and
then i
felt I
had to
write a
piece to
explain her
thinking
midgitbard : whereas i like to let the reader do some thinking
advocate8704 :
is that why you post in parts?
advocate8704 :
to allow digestion?
midgitbard : nope. I just wouldn't
have the
patience to
finish something and
then post
meshuggepupcnz : plus back to the good feedback
thing
meshuggepupcnz : Do all
the readers here feed the bards regularly?
midgitbard
: feedback is in
short supply these days
wonderwho77
: I think Midgit loves
angst and cliffhangers
midgitbard
: I don't get that
mich for cold
advocate8704
: i try to,
Judith
meshuggepupcnz : anyone else?
sobbie: I am one of the worst for feedback
meshuggepupcnz : not giving it you mean
savmut
: I try, but I never
know what to actualy say.
sobbie: mostly because I dont read
at the puter and by
the time i get back
I have forgotten what I want to
say
midgitbard
: know what you
mean
js82640 : not as often as i should,
guilty
meshuggepupcnz : do you expect the writer to write
back
advocate8704 : i think folks need to remind themselves
this is
FAN fiction.
they get
it for
free and
it's not
all going
to be
perfect. they should give back a little to the bad.
advocate8704
: bard.
midgitbard :
right, I
got nothing
for Heaven,
and thought
no-one was
interested
sobbie: yeah you are
right advocate.....
but the me toos and
the good stories feel strange after a bit.
meshuggepupcnz : Well, I know
some of my best experiences in the Xenaverse have been from writers replying to me
midgitbard : I remnember, I used to be writing Paradise, and
the mails
were coming
in one
after the
other midgitbard : now, I just get the same folks writing
after each
part of
cold
meshuggepupcnz : I have actually made people happy, delighted even just by stopping in to say hey
I read it I liked
it thanks
squrl1298 :
not ever--sorry.
i write for a living
and i sometimes just want to read. Then all i want
to say is good, keep going.
midgitbard : It's great to hear from them,. but nothing like it used to ve
sobbie: I think
a huge part of the
problem is the volume of fan fic
now
squrl1298
: i will try to
be more considerate in the future--cuz i do like
what i am reading
sobbie: it is VERY
hard to keep up... even for me
who has no life beyond the stories
meshuggepupcnz
: good fer you
squirrel person:}
midgitbard : Of course, I've made some of myu best friends by replying to mails about muy stories
meshuggepupcnz
: huazzah an
Hallelujah!!!!
advocate8704 : yeah, way to go squrl!
gerda24 : Only saying I like the story is enough? I like Heaven
midgitbard :
sure, I wasn't even getting that
meshuggepupcnz :
Why wouldn't it be enuff?
It is positive and to the point
midgitbard :
It was very disporiting
advocate8704 : feedback has really dropped
midgitbard : urk
advocate8704
: for
everyone
midgitbard : it has
meshuggepupcnz : I hate that!
advocate8704
: i think people
got spoiled
sobbie: but do
you really really want the good job
keep it up with no
substance behind
the feedback?
meshuggepupcnz : The product keeps coming whether they *pay* for it or
not?
advocate8704
: sobbie: i think
even a 'nice job' is good feedback
midgitbard : It's good to know that folks are reading, but it's also good to know what they like or don't like advocate8704 : though many people can offer more
sobbie: ok
advocate8704 : Midgit have you ever considered
co-writing something?
midgitbard
: people
have made
me see
things in
my characters, that
I didn't
realise was
there., and
I'm writing
it *g
*
meshuggepupcnz : Okay so we
are all agreed to feed and spread the word to feed
the bards:}
midgitbard :
you know I won't Addy
advocate8704 : because?
sobbie: my big problem is that I want
to offer more but I
am definately not any kind
of writer so its hard
to say what I mean
midgitbard :
I can manage on my own
advocate8704 : ooo.. ouch!
meshuggepupcnz
: oh
brother!!!!!1
midgitbard : I've had the shyest folks write to
me
solomonlopez : Like Judith?
midgitbard : and i write them back and try to get them to talk to me
midgitbard : it's very rewarding sometimes
meshuggepupcnz : sobbie I am
not a writer but I
just tell them what I
felt when I read somehting. You would be surpreise deven some of the
most accomplished
bards need and appreciate and can use
the simplest of feedback to improve or re-inspire
midgitbard : we've had feed the bard campaigns in the past
meshuggepupcnz :
yes I am shy I admit it:}
midgitbard : this feedback drought has been going a while now
gerda24 : people from all over the world give feedback?
midgitbard : sure!!
solomonlopez
: ok you have talked me into it..I'll see if we
can start up another feed the bard campaign soon
gerda24 : also from non western
countries?
sobbie: ok so
what do you really want from the average shy reader who reads 5
stories or parts a day?
solomonlopez :
Hey Carrie!
midgitbard : Carrie!!#
cbzeer
: Sorry I'm
late
meshuggepupcnz : Carrie!
advocate8704 : hi Carrie
sobbie: story of your life carrie
wonderwho77 : Hi Carrie
midgitbard
: Just
a note
to say
you're enjoying the story, and maybw why
cbzeer :
what have I've missed?
solomonlopez : Carrie - we
were just at the part
when Midgit tells us what she wears..or in her case, doesn't..when she is sitting at the computer writing
meshuggepupcnz : We are talking about feeding the bards and how it seems
as if readers just arent' into the feedback as much anymore
cbzeer : true...but I think a
bit of it has to
do with readers who wait until the story is
finished
meshuggepupcnz : What as a
writer Midgit likes to hear that helps or inspires her
cbzeer : oh, like how much we worship her?
meshuggepupcnz : yes that too
midgitbard
: rtsk
midgitbard :
tsk
midgitbard : darn
meshuggepupcnz
: We adore you
Mistress
cbzeer : *bowing*
Oh, mighty Mistress!
meshuggepupcnz
: we are not worthy of
your diminuitiveness
cbzeer : *snicker*
midgitbard : Sometimes you know, I get a mail from someone who's going through a really bad time in their life, and they just say that it made them smile or something
meshuggepupcnz
: I can't spell worth
