Got this idea from flipping through the General Board. I don't know that many people there and I thought the idea could be executed better here and with my questions of course.

What's the most entertaining signature/avatar that you've seen here: Probably kuntmode's martial arts vs modern arts av that I saw today.

Why did you first come to the boards: Curiosity

How would you describe yourself in one word: Impatient

Name one thing that you've done on Lit that you're proud of: Writing a How To on writing that people actually thought was half-decent. The rewrite of Seducing Dawn's pretty special too.

Does anyone know that you write on Lit:

Just about everyone I know and if they don't it's only because it hasn't come up in conversation. Life is too short to worry about what other people think.

What's the most entertaining signature/avatar that you've seen here:

Hmmm, can't really think of one offhand.

Why did you first come to the boards:

Curiousity

How would you describe yourself in one word:

Odd

Do you try to improve yourself:

Yup, but it never works.

Name one thing that you've done on Lit that you're proud of:

My series, The Human Condition, it's so much different than anything I've ever written before.

What is you worst fear:

I could give you a list, but as for one, nothing really jumps out at me.

Name one thing that most people here don't know about you:

I can touch my nose with my tongue -- and I have a very small nose. :p

What would you consider your maxim:

I think, therefore I'm dangerous.

3. A friend told me about this side of the site.

9. ex nihilo nihil fit - Out of nothing nothing comes.

Why did you first come to the boards: The first thing that happened was that I was browsing for something else than justs tories, found the Author's Hangout, saw an interesting post, answered it, and got caught.

How would you describe yourself in one word: Improving.

Do you try to improve yourself: Definitely. At first, I wrote mostly jerk-off stories, now I try to make the characters more 3-dimensional, the plots more detailed, and the events less random.

Name one thing that you've done on Lit that you're proud of: I won 2nd place in the 2002 Survivor Contest - only Chicklet beat me! There's no shame loosing to a worthy foe.

I wanted someone to proof-read my first proper story to make sure it was worth continuing. I got a positive response and haven't looked back.

How would you describe yourself in one word:
depressed (ask me yesterday or tomorrow and you'll get a different answer)

Do you try to improve yourself:
In my creative works, I try. I'm not happy if my latest work isn't as good as what I consider my 'best' work. With stories I have usually succeeded and I think I will do until I reach a dead-end with my story-writing methods and have to rethink my approach.

Name one thing that you've done on Lit that you're proud of:
My reply to the 'describe your area' thread, or the snippet from Rhiana that I posted as a reply to the '6 sentences without repetition' thread.

When I'm not writing music or stories, I'm out pissing off the whole of Bristol in my Toyota Supra, easily the loudest car in the South West.

The End is Nigh

A failure of the partitions I maintain between the separate areas of my life.

Gosh, where do I start?

A day in which you haven't learned something is a lost day.

Does anyone know that you write on Lit

Only my boyfriend... I have a (female) friend who comes to the Lit site sometimes, and I keep waiting for her to tell me about some story she's read that turns out to be mine.

What's the most entertaining signature/avatar that you've seen here

I think I like Chicklet's avatar the most... Nice composition, and I just like the dimple. Entertaining in the sense that I smile when I see it.

Why did you first come to the boards

I was bored trying to find a good story one night, and I checked the boards out to see if I could find something amusing...

How would you describe yourself in one word

Enigmatically contrarian

Do you try to improve yourself

No. But I hope I'm improving anyway.

Name one thing that you've done on Lit that you're proud of

Hmmm... Well, I re-read my first story about a week after I'd posted it, and I still liked it and it still made me wet, so I'm proud of that.

What is you worst fear

Carnies... small hands, smell like cabbage...

Name one thing that most people here don't know about you

I have a scar that wraps almost all the way around the little toe on my right foot.

What would you consider your maxim

Credo quia absurdum est. (I believe it because it's absurd.)
 
1) Does anyone know that you write on Lit.

My family, close friends and even a few co-workers yes.

2) What's the most entertaining signature/avatar that you've seen here

I think they're all entertaining. Most of the AV's I've seen used are an extension of a person's personality as well as symbolic as to what that person believes or represents. Sort of a "mini" window to our souls.

3) Why did you first come to the boards

Honestly...to get help on the first story I ever posted.

4) How would you describe yourself in one word

Supercalifragalisticexpialadosious

5) Do you try to improve yourself

Minute by minute

6) Name one thing that you've done on Lit that you're proud of

Meeting a helluva lot of nice people. <seriously>

7) What is you worst fear

Losing my erection

8) Name one thing that most people here don't know about you

I'm 1/4 Shoshone Indian

9) What would you consider your maxim

lol.......I remain,

Does this mean that if you learn two new things in one day you can have the next day off;)

Gauche
 
Or if you learn something within 5 minutes of getting up, can you go back to bed?

The Earl
 
Again, it depends on what I've learned. If I hear certain telltale, ominous noises, and learn that the cat has sicked up on the carpet, I need to get up and do something about it.:eek:
