Null AMA, because why not?

[Null]

Taking questions.

 

[North_Ranger]

What are you hiding under that helmet?

 

[Null]

10 lbs of hair and a face.

 

[Gusto]

Why did you change your name?

 

[Null]

It seemed like the thing to do. I decided to go with a name that better reflected my state of mind at the time.

 

[Gusto]

You'll always be Elbows to me.

 

[Null]

That's just because you know I'm a fan of Muay Thai.

 

[Gusto]

Not really, it's another one of my several-iteration portmanteaus for forumites.

 

[Null]

I know. LB -> Ell Bee -> El Bow -> Elbows.

 

[North_Ranger]

Why were you an LB?

 

[Element 117]

When did you marry Entropy?

 

[Officer_Charon]

When the pair of them gave birth to Apathy

 

[Gusto]

Well at least it wasn't Enthalpy.

 

[Null]

I use the name "Lying Bastard" because everyone on the net is a lying bastard, I'm just upfront about it, and because it was the name of the ship from Ringworld, which was one of my favorite novels.

I did what now? BT, you always know to make me feel ignorant. Are you saying I'm even more incoherent now?

 

[Morphine]

What's your dream job?

 

[Null]

Writing is my dream job, and fortunately, while it's not paying the bills yet, I am able to so and be published. I've had my work appear in 5 books so far, as well as an e-zine, a module, and am currently under contract for 3 more books, another module, and, depending on how the licensing agreement goes, adapting an award-winning author's works for Pathfinder. I'm also rather enjoying learning about game design and the feedback I've received so far has been quite strong from non-biased audiences.

When I get to the point of being able to earn a living off my writing, I will be truly satisfied.


Re: Married to Entropy - Finally got it - the decline into nothingness. We're not married, just good friends.

 

[General Specific]

Why are you leaving me?

...I mean the forum, why are you leaving the forum? aranoid:

 

[Null]

2000's a good number to stop at. That averages out to 2 posts a day for almost 3 years. I think it's important to know when to leave. It's not about drama, or attention. It's about knowing when to say enough, and I feel I'm getting there.

 

[Morphine]

what do you mean by "enough"?

Are you getting tired of us, is that it?? huh??!! huh?! ; _ ;

 

[Element 117]

Why won't you stay?

 

[Element 117]

WHY WONT YOU POST THAT ANSWER IN PUBLIC HERE?

 

[Cajungal]

What's the hardest part about writing for you?

 

[Gusto]

It's like he's avoiding posting for some reason.

 

[Element 117]

It's like he's avoiding posting for some reason.

I am trying to get him to post the answers here. I might have to videotape myself doing something terrible to convince him.

@Morphine: I'm just tired of getting in pointless fights with people here, for no good reason, and I think I need to take a very long, maybe permanent break. The poll and all that was basically for fun, but I will abide by the results.

@Cajungal: With poetry, finding something that moves me enough to write. Prompts are almost necessary for me, though that's no guarantee. I am terrible at formal poetry, which is probably why BJ has made me write two villanelles (the most dastardly form of poetry), a sestina, and a pantoum. All of them were just awful. In general, though, the most difficult part is following through and actually finishing a piece I've started. I think the longest single piece of original fiction I've completed is around 25 pages.

@BT I won't stay because I need to take some time off from here, and I'm not needed to keep things lively. I don't have any real reason to stay. I wasn't posting in public because I didn't want to step over one of the options before the poll is over, so I wasn't going to post. While I'm not above being bribed, what I want from you can't be offered like coin.

@Gen We'll always have Charlotte. Or whatever her name was.
