Something wicked this way comes!!!

[Guest]

So am I, and I like being one, having testicles and all, so I avoid calling Svenska Sv-- That name you used. I don't think she saw it yet, so quick, throw a sheet over it or something...

This is the making of a Halloween story I'd be too afraid to read.

*cringes in the corner*

Q_C

Now there's a good idea!
Say "Sven" 3 times and the beast is unleashed!!! Emasculating men left and right!!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

That's kinda funny, Sven! I thought this thread was gonna be about the new Harry Potter movie.

Don't... call... me... SVEN!!!!

Okay, Dark-Glasses, I'll explain this once, and only once.

Svenskaflicka is Swedish. Svenska is the female shortening, Sven is male. If you call Svenska "Sven" you're calling her a guy, and it really, *really* annoys her.

Please don't do it.

Thank you.

Helen - Your last line of defence against angry Svenska's.

I am perfectly aware of the meaning and context of "Sven".


I happen to LIKE women with guy's names.

Men JAG gillar inte att bli kallad för ett pojknamn! Ska det vara så j-a svårt att fatta? Ge fan i att kalla mig det där namnet! Hur skulle du själv gilla att bli kallad för Britta-Lovisa eller något liknande? Visa lite respekt, för h-e! Jag har bett att få slippa bli kallad för olika varianter av det där killnamnet, så FORTSÄTT DÅ INTE att reta mig!

 

[Guest]

blah blah blah.
You can call me Suzie if you like.
No biggie really.

You just being a stink butt for no REAL reason just doesn't like cute terms of endearment.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

...and we have another Ignore member, ladies and gentlemen. *applause*

 

[Guest]

HEEHEEE!
She makes me laf!

 

[Guest]

it is just too easy to get her to spew that Swiss talk!

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Cut it, rhino.

 

[Guest]

Cut it, rhino.

HA!

OOPS!

Firstly? Don't give me attitude when I'm trying to help. It smacks of arrogance.

Secondly, you may well like women with guys names. We're all different, but the fact of the matter is, this particular woman has a woman's name, and would like it to be used. Would you call an associate named Richard "Dick" just because it was an abbreviation you liked, even if he didn't?

3rdly...I DO smack or arrogance!
I appreciate you helpfulness.

4thly I actually Do understand the issue...and I truly believe that Svenskaflicka actually feeds into and on this. Been there done that...first time it was accidental. THIS time it was on purpose and she knows it.

and 5thly don't lecture me on my arrogance as it comes off as bitchiness. Of cours eI realise that many women take great pride in being bitchy.

so nyah!

I've got my storyline planned out, character sheets done, etc. I didn't get finished last year, but I didn't have any of that done ahead of time, and I'm hoping that this year it'll help.

2,000 words a day, and you've got it licked, so it's not as bad as it seems. For me, it'll just be a matter of disciplining myself enough to write my quota every day.

I really shouldn't sign up... I have essays... and I'm out of essay practice by about three years.

... But you know I'm gonna sign up anyway.

 

[Bishonen]

This NaNo-thing sounds interesting... too bad I'm too swamped to participate.

 

[entitled]

i never finish, but will try again anyway. Par for the course.

NO

Gonna adlib from the first word and try not to think too bloody much. My only advice would be to make sure you set aside a specific slice of time every day when you do nothing but write the novel. I'll take one hour with my breakfast and ne hour before bed. That should do it.

And don't stop because you're stuck. Have a stack of random plot bunnies in a hat and pull one out whenever you feel like you don't know what to write. Then you have to contnue with that, whatever it is.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

I wrote a synopsis before I started. That way, if I got stuck, I could look at the synopsis and see what the next episode was going to be about. Then I could either skip ahead to that episode, or work my way through to that episode.
Remember, it's all about writing, don't even THINK about editing before Decmber 1st.

Hi, Bis! Long time, no see - I've missed you! Too bad you can't join in, NaNo is hysterically funny... well, mostly hysterical... but fun too.

Anf the thing about NaNo is that EVERYONE is really too swamped to do it, but we all do it anyway. I've got an important exam the first week of November, but I'm STILL joining!

It's such a sweet high when you've got the writing flow going, and you write until you fall asleep over your keyboard, and in the morning you try to figure out why your main character says to his enemy: "Oh, yeah? Well, I'm gonna scwrfzvgkldlgnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn..."

Not that any of us have ever done that.

That's the part that kicks my ass, right there. I'm used to editing while writing (and I'm sure you guys do it too). It makes my hands shake not going back some times...



I've got the idea, but I don't know if it's ready yet, or I should say if I'M ready to write it. Time will tell.

I want to NaNo, but I'm going to have to pass this year.

Nah! Give it a go.
