School is a great place to write! One of the best poems I've ever written started as a scribble in the margin of my algebra notes.

I wrote a poem as a school assignment, and I entered in an international poetry contest. It was a semi-finalist! And it got copyrighted, too!

I right original stories. And I have it posted on FF.net. I really enjoy writing it. I also write lots and lots of songs and poems. I usually write poems when i'm supposed to be doing math

I write original stories that take place in a fantasy world, but I don't post them on the Net since I want to publish them someday. Right now I'm finishing my first novel. It's mostly the same old "boy goes on an Adventure" plot, but I think I gave it a couple of twists. I hope any editors think that, too.
I do have some HP fanfic posted on the Net (at ff.n and Fiction Alley), but I don't really consider them "fantasy", since they deal more with the characters in every-day situations than with the magical world itself.

Cool, Laurus! Sounds interesting! Can't wait to see it for sale!
Lalaith, what kind of stories do you write? Fanfic or other?

fantasy writing
I've done some fantasy writing, but for now I am more concerned with creating the history/culture of the societies in the setting. I'm more into the epic-fantasy aspect of the writing (I love the Silmarillion/HoME books - that's what inspired this whole approach) Sometimes I will sort of work backwards, just writing and inventing things on the fly and then pulling out the best elements and trying to figure out how to implement them into the "canon" of my world. Other than that, I've been guided by this worldbuilding site (warning: BAD design) I am getting ready to put some of it on the net (FF.net), one or two stories have finally got to that point. Tough thing is though, I always think I should go back and change something somewhere or another
Yay for all the other aspiring Tolkiens out there

Ive tried doing some LotR fanfic but Im not very good.
Ive also tried just regular fiction but it never works out. I dunno, maybe its that i lack the discipline. Ive come up w/ some good ideas but i have trouble expanding on them, you knw like actually writing the story. Does this make any sense?

Your ideas sound very interesting. I'm really pretty much in a worldbuilding stage, too. That certainly makes sense, Elvellyn. I've had some trouble of the like in the past. Once again, anyone interested can follow the link in my sig to a forum for aspiring fantasy writers. It's not very lively unfortunately. We need new ideas, thoughts, opinions, and the like!

It's also important to know *how* you're going to write something ahead of time. In other words, you should think out not just the content of the plot, but also the writing techniques that will effectively develop the characters, carry out the plot, and keep the reader interested. I personally learned how to do this from reading. Studying other writers' styles will help you find your own style. Ugh. I feel like my English teacher! Hope this convoluted mess helped some.

I am still in the process of finishing a story I wrote based off tolkiens novels. Yet I am waiting for Brokehorn to add some stuff to the story so its still under construction.
Here is a fic I wrote for Schnoogle. This story will atke a bit of linking to get to though. I have no way of just putting you there rright away so please read it. Please *does cute wolf pawing and wide eyed worried look* www.schnoogle.com Ok first you must go to search then type in Werewolves Wand and see the fic Werewold Cub by that author. That is my fic.
