Final Creative Gallery

So, for my Creative Gallery, I decided to try to begin mapping the fanfiction community using Google Maps. I created a map and put instructions on how I would like to see the map work. I would like for someone to map either themselves, or an author that they know and put links to their work as well a little bit of information about themselves. I'm in the process of trying to get the word out about it. I created a facebook group and invited all my friends and I am trying to make my "real-life" friends use it too. I also think I am going to try to post information about the map on the forum boards on the fanfiction sites (such as Fanfiction.net). For now though, here is the link to the map (which can be edited by anyone with a google account) and a link to the facebook page. =)

Fanfiction Authors Around the World Map

Facebook Group: Know a Fanfiction Author? Put them on the Map!

I also have started putting up posts on Forums as of now and I will be posting links to where I have posted in Forums as I go. Because I have a Fanfiction.Net account- I will be posting in the forums on that site so if you go look at these forums, it may be hard to find my post but look for my PenName- which is WriteratWVU =) and I will also put which post number I am.

1. #2,010

2. #273

Oh and I'm having trouble getting the links to work IN the fanfiction Forums- so please be patient with me.


UPDATE!!! People are using the map! Its so exciting! I didn't know if anyone would and now people are! People that I don't even know! and its exciting!! Go look at it!

The Ambush....

I found out how very easy sneaking around in the dark can be. At first, I was worried. I silently crossed in front of his living couch and I spotted my prey in the studio apartment. I was sick and tired of this. Such bull crap. Day in and day out, always playing that stupid violin...badly, I might add. Well I was ending it; no longer would I suffer sleepless nights and endless days.
Just a few more steps...finally here I was- face to face with the end of my misery. I felt sort of maniacal as I lifted the gun to the now silent irritant.

"What are you doing?" I heard a voice behind me just before I pulled the trigger. The light flipped on and I was caught... but this was NOT going to stop me. Before anything could be done, I turned around, pulled the trigger, and fired a round into the horrible instrument. Wood splintered everywhere as it was blown to pieces. I smiled...it was done.

Short Fiction =)

“It’s very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who’s learning to play violin.” That’s what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver."

How is the author constructed on YouTube?

YouTube seems to me (in comparison with Facebook) to be more focused on the author's creativity. YouTube gives the authors, who can be anyone with a YouTube account, freedom to post (almost) anything that they would like to share with the world. YouTube seems to be about what YOU (YOUtube) as an individual want to share with the world. The freedom in this is that, what you share with the world doesn't even have to be about you. It can be about anything in your life, your sister, your high school, a concert you went too, a class project homemade movie, UFO sightings, Christmas with your family, or even that bum you saw pass out on the street. Whatever an author decides that he would like to share with the world, is what YouTube is about.

The "Tube" seems to be referring to 'watching' part of it (how some ppl call a television a "tube") this end is the receiving end I think. On YouTube, within your account, you can personalize the types of videos you like to watch and search.
