I really want to help others in the HW community. I've seen my peers Lycanis and the rest continue to grow and deepen in their relationships with everyone here.

I'd like to join in that.

But I lack a certain amount of motivation and decision. I'm a lazy and introverted person. Even on the Internet I have trouble socializing.

So I'd like to ask of my fellows. Is there anything that you would like for me to look at? I'm not up for reading rough drafts of novels, but I don't mind a short story. I'm also blunt and don't leave anything out if it bothers me, so if you want your cut and dry critique I have no issue providing it. Really, sometimes I'm too blunt. *headdesk*

And if anyone has any characters that want to chat with mine, I'd gladly do that (actually, I prefer that at this current moment)!

I apologize if this sounds really weird and odd. It kind of is. :roll:

It's not weird or odd at all, Sea! It's very lovely of you to offer this.

If you do want to take a look at some of the short stories in the Fireside section, some people specifically ask for critiques there. :)

I might have one you can look at! And I've been trying to get myself into using the Character Role Play Room, so maybe when I get back from my weekend, you and I could have a thread for our characters to chatter in. I've never done Role Play before, so I am nervous of jumping into a thread and making a mess of it. :D So if you wanted to, that would be lovely!

I'm away for a couple of days now though, but I'll check back here when I return.

Thanks for the answer Elanor. I have a character to test out anyway. :3

It might be longer than you want to read, but I'm always game for a critique. :)

I've got a short story I wouldn't mind getting some feedback on if you're interested. :) And I'm sure I could find a character or two to chat with yours although I'm not always on regularly so it might be kind of slow at times.

Give me the link and I'll get on it! Although I can't promise speed since I'm on break. *ish feeling the lazy* :3

I just made an intro to a new character. Well it is a character pair. I would love to do some sort of conversation with them and your character. Here is their intro: Zhef and Zharf. The colors are a little wacky, I know...I will not be using them again, but I didn't feel like taking the time to delete them all...

Anyway, just let me know. I could use a little practice with these two. I will be using them in a story once I get that far in the writing.

Let me know.

I'd like to do that. But is it allowed to have a sci-fi character interact with a fantasy character? *looks at Elanor*

Also, I absolutely love your characters. And cougars. :D *points to sig*

I don't mind if you don't. Just start a thread and let me know when you are ready. (Maybe give me a link so I can find it quickly). Oh, and bring popcorn. It helps me think.
