[Tezkat]

Your Name: I usually publish works under my real name. I've published short fiction on the net under various pseudonyms, but not all of it is material to which I want to be attached.  I have yet to publish anything as Tezkat (unless you count RP posts).
How long have you been writing: For fun? Since elementary school. Seriously? Since university.
Have you taken any writing classes: Yes.
If yes, what kind: Besides English classes, I've attended a number of worshops on both writing techniques and getting my work published.
What is your favourite thing to write: Sci-fi and fantasy.
What is your LEAST favorite thing to write: Mushy stuff.

What's your favorite genre of writing (poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction, fantasy/romance/mystery etc.): Prose, both fiction and non fiction, I like all sorts of genres depending on my mood, but my stack of sci-fi and fantasy novels is almost large enough to collapse under its own gravity...
Where do you get your inspiration: Life, the universe, everything...
Have you ever been paid to write: Yes. Not for fiction, unfortunately...
Is there anything you see yourself never writing: No.
Anything else you want to say about your writing: I really love the R&D phase of writing. I learn so much while researching a story, and worldbuilding is one of my true loves.

Bob Salvatore has this great line about writing: "If you can quit, then quit. If you can't quit, then you're a writer." Honestly, despite my love for writing, I sometimes wish I could just turn off those spinning gears and quit. Much more so than any other form of art, writing requires consistency and dedication; you really do have to sit down in front of the computer and write every single day if you want to get anywhere. So far, I haven't been able to produce anything longer than a novella (20000 words, give or take) before feeling the grind. I have yet to finish a novel; I'm more suited to writing shorter works strung together by an overarching story line (or longer works broken up into discrete chunks).

[Xss]

Your Name: I won't put my real one here B3.
Your Author Name (If you have one): The same than above.
How long have you been writing: Seriously? For 4 years I'll say.
Have you taken any writing classes: No
What is your favorite thing to write: Buf! Normally I would say "fantastic/horror", but I have a "weird" way of working. To make things short, I just wait for inspiration, and sometimes I end up with ideas of stories I never thought about before...For example I have an idea of a mix of "romance/thriller/heroic fantasy" (yeah, weird  ). So I say "I just writte the stories which end up in my brain, whatever they are".
What is your LEAST favorite thing to write: I don't think I'll do an essai about the history of philosophy, or something like that! 
What Is your favorite novel: Dunno...Pet Semetary?
Who is your favourite author/poet: I hate poetry XD...Otherwise, I like S.king and Lovecraft.
Is Writing going to be in your future as a career: I would like...But all that are childish dreams, it will never happen!
What's your favorite genre of writing (poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction, fantasy/romance/mystery etc.): Eeeep?! That's almost the same question than one above? 
Where do you get your inspiration: My way of working says "you don't get inspiration, don't try to catch it, just let inspiration come and knock ar your door, because when it happens you really have something good"...RRhem ahem, well, at least it works with me XD. Last inspiration I get was from a dream I had.
Have you ever been paid to write: I would like that to happen...I guess it will never happen.
Is there anything you see yourself never writing: That stupid essai about the history of philosophy! 
Anything else you want to say about your writing: Er...I'm still dreaming I'll be published one day, even if my writing sucks!

Have you taken any classes: No, (unless you count normal English classes) but I've read lots of books on writing.

Awesome people in awesomer surroundings who are going through a lot of crap that they have to sort out before I leave them alone. Also, I might just be feeling random. I have a poem about the painting of a crow in the dentist's office silently singing along to a country song... yeah. Profound stuff like that. ><
What is your LEAST favorite thing to write about: Depends on when ya ask me. Right now, Civics and Economics is looking pretty evil.

Is Writing going to be in your future as a career: Probably not, but it's not totally out of the picture.
What's your favorite genre of writing (poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction, fantasy/romance/mystery etc.): I'm a sucker for a stupid sweet romance... I love that and fantasy best. /Twilight/ is an amazing combination... just amazing.
Where do you get your inspiration: The randomest places. Most recently Rowne's toaster comment (toaster or communication device? YES!)-- that's going to work its way into my story (with due acknowledgement, of course ). Things like that.
Is there anything you see yourself never writing: Never say never...
Have you ever been paid to write: Nah.
Anything else you want to say about your writing: I've got a DA thing with some poetry... and Julia Cameron's The Right to Write has been, and still is being, massively helpful. And das' about it.

[Aisha deCabre]

Your Name: Amber Harding

Your Author Name (If you have one)?: Here, it's Aisha...on Fanfiction.net and Fictionpress.net it's "Singer of Time"...on a few other sites I've been featured on, it's "OrcaCaller"...but as for pen name IRL, I'd probably go with a variation of my own name, such as "A. Dawn" (Dawn's my middle name).

How long have you been writing?: Since I've done creative writing things in Elementary school...but really taking writing as a hobby began in 9th grade.

Have you taken any writing classes?: Nope...unless you count English classes.  I reckon I don't need them. :p

What is your favorite thing to write?: Fantasy and Scifi, because those things aren't based on reality and your imagination can be let loose so easily.  I've dappled in Horror, too.  Fanfictions are interesting to write, but, I only do those at a minimum.

What is your LEAST favorite thing to write?: Things that ARE based in reality...such as autobiographical stories (October Sky is an example).  When I read, I like to escape my world...same when I write.

What Is your favorite novel?: Currently it's Eragon...but I love the Shannara novels, the Uprising novels, and the ever-classic Lord of the Rings novels...slowly getting into the Nightcreature novels as well.

Who is your favourite author/poet?: No favorite poets really...but I've a few favorite authors: Terry Brooks, Christopher Paolini, David Brin, and K.A. Applegate.

Is Writing going to be in your future as a career?: Not a career, really...probably more of a hobby thing.  But I aim to publish a few stories at least.

What's your favorite genre of writing (poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction, fantasy/romance/mystery etc.)?: Fiction, and again, Fantasy/Scifi. :p

Where do you get your inspiration?: From other books, though I try not to copy from stories...just use them as guides for my own improvement.  I also have a fascination with mythology the world over, the elements, the paranormal...and of course, nature and its creatures, from which most of my stories are derived.

Have you ever been paid to write?: Nope...but maybe someday.

Is there anything you see yourself never writing?: An autobiography.  Erotica too...my books won't go anywhere over Pg-13 for that...and if they do go to an M rating, it would be because of violence...I can be VERY descriptive.  Romance is in that same picture...I'm a romantic, but I'm not tragic-sappy.  No war stories or political-satire, either.  Sorry, George Orwell fans.   

Anything else you want to say about your writing:  Only that I hope I can bring myself to showing some writings off here...as all I've ever really shown here would be visual artwork.

Have you ever been paid to write: No, but  one of my poems "the dreamer" i think i called it was published by ChAMP or so I was told. That sad thing is that they did not ask me to publish it they just did after I read it at a collage welcoming ceremony.
Is there anything you see yourself never writing: continuity, complete thought and story line plots that are easy to understand. Whatever is on my time at the mind makes it into my writing. It's as simple as that. I will often write a poem or a story based on one line or on word that has struck my interest at the time. My mind is like that

[Tilvan the Storyweaver]

Your Name: Eh... I'll keep it to myself for the moment.

Your Author Name (If you have one)?: Tilvan the Storyweaver, name is stolen from a character in my writings.

How long have you been writing?: Since 6th grade, so about 4-5 years.

Have you taken any writing classes?: Yes, I took a CTY (Center for Talented Youth) course on writing but it was almost all focused on Non-fiction or non prose so it didn't do much.

What is your favorite thing to write?: Fantasy, High Fantasy to be exact.  I'm kind of a romantic at heart so my writing always has that touch to it.

What is your LEAST favorite thing to write?: Non-fiction and non-prose, it just doesn't flow for me.

What Is your favorite novel?: I love to many books for one favorite but I would have to say that it would be the Dragonlance series, the Forgotten Realms series, and the Lord of the Rings (and I am very aware that FR and Dragonlance are done by dozens of different authors).  But I also love fanfiction and there are several fanfics that are just as good if not better than most novels.

Who is your favorite author/poet?: Well... the ones who inspired me to write are both authors from FF.net.  Daneel Rush and Foxie-sama were my real inspirations for writing and they are who I want my writing to be on par with some day.

Is Writing going to be in your future as a career?: Without a doubt, it has always been my dream to be a published author.  I want it more than anything.

What's your favorite genre of writing (poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction, fantasy/romance/mystery etc.)?:Prose; Fiction; Fantasy

Where do you get your inspiration?: From my friends and our games of Dungeons and Dragons.  It will also occasionally just hit me from nowhere.

Have you ever been paid to write?: No, though I would love to be.

Is there anything you see yourself never writing?: Non-fiction, can't stand it.  Poetry to, though I am working to get better at writing song lyrics for my various bards.

Anything else you want to say about your writing: Not really, just that almost every character I come up with was originally one of my friends or my Dungeons and Dragons character.

[Cogidubnus]

Your Name: Rather not say.
Your Author Name (If you have one): Cogidubnus
How long have you been writing: I started writing abominable BOF fanfiction about six years ago, and been writing ever since.
Have you taken any writing classes: Yes, but nothing really formal. A few one-hour crash courses on good methods. The thing that sticks out most is "Never start a story with the words 'He didn't know if he was dead or not.'" And, don't write Adam and Eve mystery-scifi thrillers.
If yes, what kind: As I said, a few classes here and there. Good stuff, I suppose.
What is your favorite thing to write: Whatever the Muse decides to put in my brain. From experience, probably short stories.
What is your LEAST favorite thing to write: Probably transitions. That, and although this isn't really a part of writing, when you forget something important, like a secondary character. For three or four chapters.
What is your favorite novel: I honestly couldn't tell you. Some favorites are "The Lord of the Rings", obviously, "Red Moon and Black Mountain", the Wheel of Time series, and many forgotten realms novels.
Who is your favourite author/poet: Again, your narrow choices are alien to my thought. In the corner of Prose we have C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Matthew Stover, Richard Lee Byers, R.A. Salvatore, and probably a few others I'm forgetting. In the Poetry corner we have Keats, Shelley, Poe, Wilde, Housman, and Frost.
Is Writing going to be in your future as a career: With luck. At the very least, I hope to make English a part of my career.
What's your favorite genre of writing (poetry or prose, fiction or non-fiction, fantasy/romance/mystery etc.): Curse you for making me choose one! I'll have to go with Prose, fantasy.
Where do you get your inspiration: Music, my mind, life, and deep thought (my compatriots call it contemplating my navel).
Have you ever been paid to write: Are you kidding?
Is there anything you see yourself never writing: Porn. Porn and writing are mutually exclusive to me. Just the way I'm wired.
Anything else you want to say about your writing: Beware, for I write EXPOSITION, far too often and too much.

Have you ever been paid to write: Yes, my friend needed help on an extra credit project, and I was willing to help him out for a price and some recognition.

Is there anything you see yourself never writing: I have done everything, Erotica once(that turned into crap though because I got distracted with another plot)

Anything else you want to say about your writing: I have the ability to lie all the time. It shows im my wrighting, you can always identify me as a character in a story because I just have to immerse myself further.  I feel what I create is an art, and my art brings joy to me when people like to read it.

I aploligize for spacing it all out, it was annoying for me to read otherwise.

[Goatmon]

Your Name: Goatmon

How long have you been writing: Around 6th or 7th grade.

Have you taken any writing classes: Nothing other than "Introduction to College Writing" that I took a cuople times
back in Junior College.  I failed miserably, cause I suck ass at studying and paying attention.

What is your favorite thing to write: Anything involving Kevin.  (My avatar)
Seriously though, I love a good fantasy story, especially in RP.  I dislike writing about humans, for some reason. 

What is your LEAST favorite thing to write: Homework.

What Is your favorite novel: Currently, it's "Starcraft: First Born" by Christie Golden.  Awesome story.

Who is your favourite author/poet: I really can't say.  My taste in things is so spread out that it's impossible to pick.  That and I don't care much for reading poetry.

Is Writing going to be in your future as a career: I certainly as hell hope so. 

What's your favorite genre of writing:  Fantasy/Sci-Fi

Where do you get your inspiration: Everywhere and nowhere.  Honestly, my ideas come from wherever they decide to come from and I really have no say in the matter. 

Have you ever been paid to write: No, but a poem of mine was read by a teacher at my High School Graduation.

Is there anything you see yourself never writing: Horror.  My view on reality and what is and isn't scary is so warped compared to an ordinary person that I doubt I could ever come up with something really scary. 

Anything else you want to say about your writing: Writing is, in my opinion, the most effective art form in existence.  With a novel or a short story you can create an entire reality, filled with it's own unique people and life.  You can take someone to anyplace you can think up, letting their own imagination paint  the setting.  It's my hope that someday I can do that; Come out with a story of my own that brings people together into a fantasy world of my own creation.
