GFF Literary Workshop: A Proposal

I'd be up for submitting and reading some writing. It'd be nice to see this section pick up again. I remember back in the day (2004 I think) when this part of the forum was pretty active.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

People just have to learn how to take criticism. If someone says something bad about your work, suck it up, read what they said about it, and work on that area of your writing. Don't try to debate it, or offer up reasoning. That just gets shit going.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Just say that they should be at least a couple stanzas long, with at least 5 lines in each stanza. Okay, a simpler way of saying that is 10 lines. lol

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm thinking that in a writing context it'd be done somehow with thick symbolism or flashy adjectives or some such nonsense.

Yah that's true. But this is about bettering your own writing, not being better than other people. Gamingforce has alot of decently mature people so I'm sure it'll be fine.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Just Pyromanic, not Maniac. lol.

How ya doing, buddy?
