Hey folks!
I stumbled onto this site while searching for a few video lectures on Shakespeare. For those looking for some of the open ones, I highly recommend using iTunes.
Looking forward to getting to know you guys better and seeing your thoughts on your favorite literary works.
I have a particular love of sci-fi and horror. Speculative fiction in general, really. Anyone have any suggestions for sites to check out in those niches? Maybe some communities?
Thanks to the Forum owners for keeping the site well-maintained. I know how hard running a forum can be.
Peace,
Omar
Guess I can't write as much as the previous people, but here goes:
Hey, I'm Night (it's my pen name), and I'm a high school students. I read lots of books and, unsurprisingly, am referred to as the nerd, since I know the answers to lots of things.
I love writing books. I've written about 15 now, but yeah, getting a publisher is hard. *sob* I'm studying lots of languages, specifically Japanese and Indonesian, but I can already speak three other languages. Hmm.
Anyway, I like music. I listen to all kinds of genres, actually, and I'm pretty good at playing the guitar.
I'm really nice, but I can get a little sarcastic sometimes. Oh, and I also draw. :P
Hmm...I guess that's it.. :))
Hey, all. My name's Rob. Frankly, I'm here to promote myself. Specifically, the podcast/audiobook of a comedic novel I've written. It's called "Gonna Roll Myself Up to the Top of the Hill", and is essentially a fictional version of the history of rock 'n' roll, as told by its most notorious failure.
edit: sorry, didn't realize I couldn't post the link.
Hey guys,
I'm Act of Otho. It's my Username on the Eragon forum. Otho means faith in the dwarven language in the Inheritance cycle. Call me a nerd if you will, but I love those books.
I'm here for help on my story that I'm writing. I can't figure out how to write the details in it. I also need some feedback on what I need to change. So, here I am.

ok so I am brand new to this site and this is my first ever post, my name is Pooka and i'm a college student looking for help with my English comp 2 papers.. my professor isn't one for giving feedback until the final draft is passed in and my next paper is on poetry which is not a type of literature that I have spent a lot of time reading so I'm not all that familiar with good writers from the genre and could use some advice on finding a poem that I can make an arguement about that applies to society today as well as when the poem was written. I'm also a voracius reader and love to be told about new books that are great reads! I'm a horror/vampire/witch/sci-fi story addict and a Douglas Addams fan but read almost everything except romance novels, they just don't interest me at all. Since this is an introduction I'll also include that I'm 36 years old and am a mother to two daughters (ages 18 and 5) and one son (age 12).
How about this poem?Quote:
