Yet another mind eager to share it's creations.

Hi everyone! I'm new here. (Obviously)
My real name is Matthew, for anyone that cares to know my real name. You can call me Matt, if you want.

My favorite genre is Horror/Thriller, however I love when it is mixed with fantasy. My idol is M. Night Shyamalan. He is the greatest film maker ever. I wish to be a Writer/Director in the future and he is a great influence. I'm a Christian, which also has a lot of influence on my work.

I also love the movie Pan's Labyrinth, which has become an influence to me as well. I hope that everyone here can help improve my writing skills.
I also love music. A lot. Some of my favorite artists are:

-My Chemical Romance
-AFI
-Linkin Park
-Queens of the Stone Age
-The Killers
-30 Seconds to Mars
-Angels and Airwaves
-Good Charlotte
-Flyleaf
-Red
-Chevelle

The list can go on and on. But I won't bore you with long lists.

Linkin Park! RED! WOOOO!!!! Have you ever heard of Underoth? I love music too! As I Lay Dying? I'm usually into fantasy fiction though... I'm a christian too and can't wiat to see your stuff on here! Welcome n'stuff!

Thanks! I've heard of Underoath. They are pretty good. However sometimes it's a little too much screaming for me.

Hello, and welcome! Oh, and thanks! It's nice to see another MCR fan round here, and I too like The Killers, too. Funnily enough, I'm in the midst of writing a horror/thriller/fantasy, so I look forward to reading some of your work.

Anyways, we're a good crowd here, so you'll enjoy yourself!

Feel free to PM me if you want any help/have any questions, etc.

Hello, Yet Another Darkened Mind.

Welcome to the site. I'm a Christian, but I think that's about all we have in common, yes? I love music, but not the same kind as you and dear old Poltergiest...hard rock is not for me.

Join 'Band Geeks Anonymous' and 'Christian Writers.' !!! They have fun there, and everywhere. It's a great site, so welcome.

Cheers!

~The Kool One

P.S. You can call me by the following: 'The Kool One,' 'Kool,' 'Koolio,' or 'Ich Kuhl vund.'

ROAR!

I like you already.

Flyleaf is rad, but I haven't listened to them in forever. They need a new album...


Anyhow! Welcome to the site, if you have any questions or need some help with something feel free to PM me or anyone else in green and they'll help you out ^_^

Horror is fun! I don't read a whole lot of it, but writing is great. We just got a user group on horror, you might like that.

See you around!

Hello Matthew and welcome to YWS!!

Ooh, The Killers, Linkin Park...good taste. Alas, I see no Chili Peppers....

Anyho! If you need anything at all feel free to pm me and I'll be happy to help you out!

Hope you like it here and I look forward to seeing some of your work posted!

See you,
Alainna

Was I on something last night?

LOL! Echoing everybody, welcome-to-the-YWS-and-PM-me-if-you-have-any-questions!

Ha! XD

I rather like Linkin Park, some 30 Seconds to Mars and Good Charlotte stuff. Though I prefer classical and instrumental music, so I'm not a die-hard fan. XD

Anyway, I'm Her Inkyness/ Inkie, also a Christian, though more Orthodox like Koolio up there^

I've never understood the "Thriller" category of fiction. It's just another word for "adventure", isn't it?

:runs away with hands over head at ignorance and flying tomatoes:

Hey ADM welcome to YWS. I'm fan of horror my favourite author is Christopher Pike and I know you'll fit in. I'm not much a fan of Mainstream I listen to alot of punk/ska/rock/mental/hardrock. I'm writing a fantasy right now with horror aspects and M Night is a decent director though my two favourites are, Hayoe Mystaki and Steven Speilberg mainly since Jurrastic Park one of my fav movies. Well anyway have fun and I hope you like it here just as I do.

Hi, Matt! Welcome to YWS! I have a cousin named Matthew. I don't think you're him, though. He's a little bit older. And I don't think he writes much...
um...

I'm also a Christian. PM me if you ever wanna talk or... yeah. I guess that's been said...

Anyway, I don't do horror a lot, but I like a good one every once in awhile. I love fantasy, though. I look forward to seeing what you've got. See you around!

According to Wikipedia, "Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains. Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings, and cliffhangers are used extensively."

Of course, the "resourceful heroes/better-equipped villains" will be the cliche element, but that's the jist. Personally, I've always thought of thrillers as a mixture of mystery and horror.
