Username: Saiph Current status: I recently discovered my talent in (and joy of) writing, and so my works are few. However, I've been slaving away at a not-really-short story for a while now, and doing side-writing on the side. Working on how to efficiently juggle concepts around. What do you like to write?: Stories that I have to really think about to write. If I can slap together a plot with no meaning, then I don't feel that I've done my job - I hope to communicate in my writing, whether it's satirical (The Thespians) or deep (Scars). Occasionally, I will make a story just for laughs (The Vezon Toy). What to look for: Similar to what I like to write - I want to either think or laugh. What matters most is that the author effectively communicated what they wanted to be noticed, which usually requires for something to be communicated - thus I like themes. I also enjoy when someone pushes archetypes - for example, showing the dark side of being a Toa, rather than only showing their heroic sides. Misc: I don't only write. I'm also a big math person, and for a while now I've been trying to think of an effective way to show people why I like math - because it has nothing to do with how smart a person is, contrary to popular belief. It's not about accuracy and super-computation. It's not about understanding a boatload of symbols. It's about elegance, discovery, pattern - it is, at its core, the art of thought! So I've been trying to figure out a way to write a story that can show people why math really can be worth the difficulties. Not an easy job, I'm discovering. :/ Besides math, I like to do pastel art and face-drawing. I love drawing faces, for some reason. EDIT: Reviewed one story so far: Walking Home

da cheez iz in da howse If it looks like a lemming, smells like a lemming, and jumps off a cliff like a lemming, then it's probably a dead lemming. Yo lolcats, imma let you finish, but this is the best meme of all time.

#2 - it is very creative, though it was a close one.

Amazing guide! I especially liked the part of the three-point parabolic perspective: I had never thought of that before.

I quite enjoyed the first book. I did not finish the second one, though, and I plan to get back to reading them soon. As a Christian, it is a bit of an annoying premise, but I always try to put my disagreements with authors aside when I reaad, and just enjoy the story. A good reader should be tolerant of what gets thrown at him/her; when he/she's done he/she can say whatever he/she wants. But I hate it when people bash a book and they haven't read it. And having read Golden Compass, I have to recommend it.
