I'm new, I suppose obviously. My name comes from Brideshead Revisited, a novel I absolutely adore.

I write in a variety of styles, although I tend towards the dark side and fantastical. I've finished a few novels, none of them published, and I'm currently working on a Canterbury Tales-esque thing, in which the MC is dead and 21 people come together to tell 22 different stories to try to figure out what type of person he is. The dialogue is giving me a headache. I love editing, although I don't always have time, and I am a very hardcore debater. Debate and writing pretty much make up my life, but I'm not overly argumentative out of competition.

So, hey

Oh, and I'm a HUGE Whovian and Whedonist.

Hi! It's nice to meet you. So, I guess you like writing, right? Most likely. Editing is fun. I personally don't think of it as a hobby though.

Do you have any favorite authors? books?
What's your favorite color? (I needed to ask something else.)

I can't wait to read some your posts. You sound like you would have some pretty interesting things to read. So, yeah.

Anyway, feel free to PM me if you have any questions or you have nothing better to do.

Hello Etina! I've never heard of that novel, but I'll check it out.

Welcome to YWS! :)

Well, your project seems really interesting. I'd love to read a few teasers (which you can post in the blogs section.)
And I'm going to look through your post. I shall review it soon.
And haha, I love debating too. Though, I wouldn't call myself a hardcore debater.
I'm sure you'll have fun here.

See you around.
Oh and you can always PM me with a zillion questions. :)

EDIT: Oh, it is about the 22 people thing. :)

Yo Etinarcadiaego! (because I have no idea how you'd like that to be shortened. :D)

I'm Freyja. Nice to meet you!

Your project does sound really interesting, and I second Lava that you should give us some teases.

Don't hesitate to ask questions if you need to. We're here to help. :) You can PM, go to chat, wander around the community forums--all good places to find info.

Looking forward to seeing your work and hope you enjoy it here!

Cheers,
Freyja

The shortening is Arcadia...it translates to Even in Arcadia, I exist.

My favorite authors differ by the day, although I've always loved Oscar Wilde. I have a little Oscar Wilde action figure...yeah, the obsession runs deep. Other than that, I read most everything. I'm reading Casino Royale and Neuromancer now.

And thanks so much, guys. I'll try to post up about one a week or so...I really need to start organizing.

Hello there!

Welcome to YWS!

I was really glad you stated the word "debate" :D . Please don't hesitate to be a member of Debate Group here. You can find it in "Groups" section. I like debating and of course you do. :D
Also, try to meet other "aspiring" writers here in "Chatroom", just found in YWS Homepage.

PM me for questions or anything.

Peace out!

Haha, thanks. I've managed to get a total of two things posted...I've got a bit of a block (called school, bleh), so I'm probably going to be reviewing more than sub,itting for now.
