    Dr. Tim’s Neurotic Rules of Ficly Life

    [Disclaimer: This is not intended to be binding nor in any way an expectation of general members of Ficly, league members, family members or wearers of Member’s Only jackets]

    1. Comment to Story posting ratio must exceed 5:1. Goal is 10:1. In other words, I write a story then find five others (at least) upon which to comment before writing another.

    2. For every solo shot or sequel of my own material, I must write a sequel or prequel to the work of another author. If I’m going easy on myself, participating in a challenge also fulfills this requirement.

    3. If someone comments on one of my stories, I go find one of theirs upon which to comment. It only seems fair, and I like to think it encourages commenting.

    4. Awesomeness is the goal, always. Call me on it when I fail, please.

    5. Clearly mark mature content and err on the side of caution.

    6. Golden Rule remains in effect for all sequels, prequels, and comments.

    The pen is mightier than the sword. How outdated. In the 1900’s, it would have been, “The typewriter is mightier than the machine gun.” But in modern times? “The word processor is mightier than the particle-beam weapon.”

    I play video games, build things with Legos, and try to kid myself into thinking that I’m mature. I love dorking around with computers and I have a strange obsession with hats – nice ones, that is, no baseball caps. My dream is to either become a Masterbuilder or a drummer, and neither seem very close. Such is life.

    Since joining Ficly, I’ve come to realize that I love playing off of other people’s work, reshaping their ideas to form some coherent things. Half my stories come either from challenges or from hitting the “Random Story” button and writing a sequel (I highly recommend this, the things that you’ll find are amazing!).

    J. A. Keane has spent the majority of his 18 years trying to act like a somewhat normal member of modern society, but seeing as nobody else seems to be acting normal these days (which basically makes the entire concept of “normality” redundant and nothing but a bad joke (my inner Comedian-from-Alan-Moore’s-“Watchmen” talking there)), he has decided to give up on that, and continue along his path of random offbeat-ness.
    When he’s not doing that, he also likes to write long-winded rants on Tumblr, miniature rants on Twitter, medium sized rants on Facebook, and adamantly refuses to use LOLspeak (as he finds it annoying, and believes that it’s a slightly differentiated (but not THAT much, really, if you think about it) form of Newspeak).
    And when he’s not doing any of that, he likes to write exaggerated biographies that are intended to make him sound more interesting than he actually is.
    And after all that, he also really likes to end his website biographies on a joke.

    “If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein

    My name is Wednesday, and I guess you could say that for the most part that quote personifies me. If there were no silliness in this world I would die.

    Unfortunately, recently I have been suffering a nervous breakdown. I don’t mind saying that here. The people who know me I trust enough, and to the people I don’t – well here’s an insight. It’s not all shits and giggles on my side of the pond. Because as much as I’d like, life is not just silliness.

    Rest is not idleness,
    and to lie sometimes on the grass
    under trees on a summer’s day,
    listening to the murmur of the water,
    or watching the clouds float across the sky
    is by no means a waste of time.

    Right Now: I’m a 19-year-old girl trying to figure this whole life thing out. So, if you don’t see me for periods of time… I’m doing college. It’s insane

    Someday: I will be the girl I know I can be. I’m going to do my very best to always keep on keepin’ on.

    Welcome to my World: “I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.”

    I have lots of wishes and dreams. I don’t know if any of them will come true, and that’s scary. I have loved and lost, in a different way than you might think. It changed me forever.

    Chloe Cypress, you are always in my heart and on my mind. I will never forget you.

    I have finaly returned, to ficly and to the bullpen.

    Read these quotes and feel the intellectual prosperity.

    - A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

    - Attitudes are contagious, so ask yourself, “Is mine worth catching?”

    - One who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; One who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.

    - Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.

    - In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

    - The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

    - The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.

    - Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.

    - Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.

    - Everyone makes mistakes. It’s what you do after that counts.

    - The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realise, the less I know.

    - Playing it safe is the most popular way to fail.

    - If you smile when you are alone, then you truly mean it.

    LMR is someone in their late twenties who has yet to figure out who they are and what they will be.

    When she auditioned for Wheel of Fortune, she solicited the help of her internet peers in order to find an appropriate occupation. “Minutiae expert” and “internet loafer” were the two responses she got, and quite accurate ones at that. She ended up going with “freelance writer”, a half-lie since she hasn’t done that for years now.

    Oddly enough, during round two of the audition process, “free-lance artist” was the puzzle she solved. She thinks it may have been a sign.

    You can also find her at http://www.twoplayercoop.com, where she tries to remember about writing about media issues.

    I’ve never written in english that much as I’m spanish, only the essays for English homework , so I think I’ll give it a try! English culture amazes me, my dream is to live out of Spain and to be a translater. I will probably have loads of mistakes, so tell me them all! I draw, play piano and guitar.

    Hey Everyone, I’m Violet. I just really got into writing again after my English course this year so I am currently back on ficly a lot! Exciting!

    So my one friend and I have a pretty sweet series going right now and its all posted on here. It’s all under my name just because it is easier, but my friend T.J. Ice is writing the part or Jared, I’m writing Cate, and we both write Lucas. You are probably thinking who are these people? Well read and find out!

    I also am really into music so I find myself writing stories inspired by songs. Its fun, especially since i have so much different music on my ipod. One day I might be inspired by Ke$ha and the next it could be Coldplay. (Ke$ha is my hero…just saying)

    Well, college? As good a place as any I guess… A-Levels, and teacher annoyance.
