it's a website to "scrobble" or keep to date the kind of music you listen to

is there a thread about screaming anywhere on this site?

Fanks! I don't think I saw any of yours on the first page. Let me know if you want me to gander at something. Nothing has really caught my eye so far.

I've not posted anything in ages. Partially because I haven't been writing and partially because since the writing no counts towards my degree it might not be a great plan. It has to be all your own work and that.

I did some crits today. I might do some more tomorrow.

yes

fail

well that sucked

damn spam

hey guys ive just started writing. please excuse the few cliches' i'm trying to get out of. let us know what you think



Hypochondria

I have to leave the room, so I don’t faint in front of you
My heart rates speeding up, 3 times the Rate that it’s meant to.
My chest pains harder to bare, And I don’t know what to do.
Arm aching, twitching finger tips. My veins look a darker shade of blue.

My hypochondria settles in, and it eats me up inside.
I get up and run, for a quiet place to find.
A place to rest my head and die!

The doctor says I’m healthy, with out a reason to lie.
But this disease wont let me go, subconscious is blind.
I know it’s not really happening, only in my mind
It’s the worst thing to get away from there is nowhere to hide

Chorus

I think I’m unhealthier than I was 2 months ago
Could this decline in exercise, effect my blood flow

Instrimental

Chorus

END

here are a few more parts i wrote

Alone with my thoughts, eyes toward the night sky
Waiting wondering the day that I reach my demise.
For an imperfect life, been crueller than for most
Looking forward, hoping balance to my past pain overdose.

The untimely. of Ian Curtis. Wrestle’ inside of me
Loaded gun won’t set free, but a rope will stop you breath.
For what some to fight so hard for, others to so easily concede
A selfish answer to ones problems, At such a costly degree.

community thread song

didn't really like it

community thread crit

been pretty blank creatively lately

sup gice?

i havent been around in a while, my last username was "Ohh", not sure what happened to it... might have been permabanned. w/e

hi i remember you vaguely.

i did a brief crit of your piece.

i remember too

hey

I vaguely remember. I think I may have crit'd something.

I don't really know though.

yea i remember all you guys

good to be back

toles and surf
you guys havent posted anything that i can see on the front page
why the inactivity

it's been like this for a while.

oh and Tojes is the only mod that ever posts here as well. Idk why there are two others mods, they don't do anything anymore.

hmm i remember back in about 05, i would post song lyrics from my "band". i thought some of them were pretty funny, but i think subtle eventually banned that account for it.

anyone know what happened to him?

he stopped posting a while back. Think he's busy with his post-rock projects or something.

He wants all his posts to be deleted from the boards. :)

On a related note, I check i as much as I login to sputnik (which is rarely) but I do crits every now and then and check in for spam bots and **** like that.

Kind of stopped posting stuff because now it counts towards my degree and they're not too hot on getting outside help considering its all meant to be my own work.

I'm here everyday though, just mostly post in the uk thread.

I crit occasionally too, but usually only if something catches my eye or if I know the person or whatever

ahh, i see
theyre that strict on that kinda stuff hmm
whats your degree going to be

well I'd rather not risk it.

If I hand something in and they google it or whatever, then it might come up and I'd have to explain it.

I'm doing an English Lit degree, but with mostly creative writing modules including a creative dissertation.

so I have hardly any hours a week and no real job opportunities

yea it sucks because i think im going to major in english but ill probably end up with the same job i have now (sales associate at a department store)

I've just completed my degree in Professional Writing, and yeah Surf I know what you mean by putting stuff here that's going to be used for assessment. I generally put stuff up after it's been assessed and continue redrafting, changing etc the assessed work from the critiques I get here lol.

@Tojes: He wants all his posts deleted? Why would he care?

if subtle gets his posts deleted what'll happen to the writing thread?

edit: just checked and he's marked down as a guest so nothing's actually changed.

is there a writing thread, for like prose and stuff? cause im working on a book.

not that I know of. There was like a short story comp in the Pit a while ago but that fizzled out.

my attempts at short stories (because they never got much farther than that) are all dissatisfying and heavy-handed.

I'm likely going to school for something writing related.

i liked that thread. it was a nice break from all the poetry.

i was wondering if we could try something new in the LC forum. alongside the regular lyrical challenges, how about a flash fiction competition (flash fiction is typically 500-1000 words or less). i think it would be fun, especially for those who like to write prose, but don't have the time or energy for a full-on story.

I'm up for that.
