For more Happy Goat Stories, see some of Elder Lyons stories (The Happy Goat Bible and Birth of the Happy Goat Part 1). My goal is to tell the story of the Happy Goat and the perils that he must overcome in order to become leader of the mythical farm, somewhere in New Zealand. This sequence of short stories is represented by my avatar.

Kicking it at the University of Oklahoma. I like writing, science, almost all forms of music (literally), creating constructed languages, graphic/visual arts, and a good book. I will not hesitate in saying I am a Christian and I am darned proud to be an American.

I am now convinced that you only need a few things to survive: literature, music, creation and communication [no matter how bad it may be ;)].

I am a young writer who enjoys expressing herself with ink and paper… once it is printed from the computer.

I guess this will do.

So I figure I should fill this box in, because otherwise my profile page promised to cry in despair.
The name’s Orange, OrangeOreos. I’m from a now-extinct organization known as Ficlets. I haven’t written much since the good ship Ficlets was sunk by AOL, but I’ll try to get back into the habit!
I guess I should also say that I’m a junior in the fun-house named high school. The school theater is my second home, and all my non-cyber home-skillets live in it, too.
Good writing, everyone!

Ohh how I’ve missed this. This site gave me the motivation I always needed to write and I’ve missed it horribly. By day I work for a newspaper, by night, I delve into the world of CherryPop McGee and assorted Zombies. I’m writing her story, which got it’s start in this community, online and hope to self-publish when it’s all done.
Am also a big fan of AudioBoo (audioboo.fm/profile/Melia) and because of the awesome creative commons licensing here, I hope you don’t mind if I occasionally record an audio clip of your Ficly :) I will, of course, properly credit you.

Arms, legs, the usual.
I value feedback, so feel free to rate my stories with a 1 or a 2. I only ask that you tell me why when you do so, so I can make my next story better.

Hello world, I’m a very verbose person, typically my ‘short stories’ end up around about 50 odd pages :) So read, rate, love, hate, prequel, sequel my stories. Advice is welcome!

I’m 18. I live in Chicago, IL.
Uhhh I’m going to school for illustration, but sometimes I just, like, love writing.I was on this site all the time maybe two years ago, but I haven’t been checking routinely in over 10 months.

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.

Wow. I’ve been gone for awhile. Life has sort of taken over and my writing has withered along with the leaves on the trees. I feel I should have forced the writing when I felt less than inspired, but those days also seemed overwhelming in so many ways, so I stayed away. I think today is the day I would like to dust off the keyboard and begin the journey once more to find and hone my voice. I can only hope that there are some who will stick with me as I make my way back towards the literary world.

Well some of you will be interested to know that I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and am currently working a dead end job to pay the bills. I still spend silly amounts of money on books.
I love the music of Dashboard Confessional, Jonsi and Jimmy Eat World. I’m inspired by the works of Neil Gaiman, Diana Wynne Jones and Hayao Miyazaki. I still love Ficly :) -
I migrated from Arabia to South-East Asia by camel. Hence, I am one.

I’m just this guy, you know? Kind of creative, I guess. Probably not very good at writing, but I do what I can. Let me know what you think if you stumble across one of my stories.
Also, I normally don’t comment other people’s stuff. I can if you want, I’ll let you know what I think, but be prepared for something off the wall. Just in case.

Hi, dear reader. I am the publisher of the completely random “When the clock struck four…” series of short stories. They are all interconnected and will come to a great conclusion. I am a very small contributor to “The Happy Goat” series by the author “Shorts”. In that series I am currently writing “The Happy Goat Bible” and “The Birth of the Happy Goat”. I in no way intend to offend those who read my stories, and will never produce one of those dirty little sex stories which seem ever popular. They remind me of Twilight, another one of my pet hated things.
Cheers,
The Athiest -
I focus on poetry most of the time, and I find fiction to be a more of a challenge. So I’m starting small :)

Jeez, when I learned that Ficlets had returned I literally screamed at the top of my lungs. And it came up right at the perfect time: the beginning of summer! That’s all I can really say right now….YAY!!! Oh! And I almost forgot to mention that back in the old Ficlets (RIP) I was Ezzie.
Oh and the profile pic of mine…isn’t mine!! I did not draw it whatsoever. I just loved the picture sooo dang much. Here’s the link to it: http://xiaocaca.deviantart.com/art/The-Bright-and-Cavernous-Mind-135580650

I don’t comment as much as I should. My somewhat low standards prevent me from offering proper criticism, sometimes, and when I enjoy a story I typically enjoy it for the story. Pointing out flaws in your work may aid you in perfecting your skills technically, but they rarely make the experience more pleasant for me personally. I am aware that this is a selfish reason for commenting so little and I’m working on it.
That said, I greatly appreciate all comments and criticism. Though I tend to focus more on the story and less on the skill of other writer, I lack confidence and seek always to suck less.

I’m starting to write my stories on paper, so I’m not gonna be posting much on here anymore. I might post something new every now and then, but for the most part I’m gonna write on paper from now on.

I am just a student, wishing for my big break.
I am a tiny dancer. What else do you have to know?
I am an actor.
“I love acting. It is so much more real than life.”
I am a singer.
“But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud.”Ah, to write. It’s a beautiful thing. I love writing all the time, everywhere and anywhere I go. Nothing will stop me, I swear. I love writing all my emotions on paper. I love feeling the pen scratching on the paper. Ideas flow through me, drip down my soul. I am a poet, I am a novelist.
You gotta love the little joys in life.Series going on at the moment:

Spelling and grammar vex me sorely.
