Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Being immortal would give you definite win...

*headdesk*

You have no idea exactly how much college will consume your life until you get there. And classes haven't even started yet.

College is awesome.

ETA: In my book, people who sell their souls to demons become immortal. Not like, physically invincible, they just can't die of old age, and a few other things. Like, suffocation I think, and also like... still thinking of others...

Immortality only sucks when it's not shared.

OR if this guy wants your head.

Oh yes. It would suck.

Demons-- exist in Sin, and eat souls. And make contracts.

Also, I love Kuroshitsuji and TDL demons. Sin's are a mix.

Sin?

Also, yeah, in my book it started off contract-y, but it ended up not really being like that in the end.

The original concept I had for the demons changed from them being intelligent beings to them being more like drones programmed for a cause.

Well, the thing is there are Daemons, Devils and Demons.

Daemons are animalistically evil
Devils are evil in a lawful and legal way
And Demons are evil in a chaotic and random way

Yes, Zoom, that is true.

I would not be immortal for that. I would prefer Jack Harkness immortality, or Philosopher's Stone.

Immortal for what?

Immortal without being me.

Oh.. I'm totally out of focus right now. Haha

There are so many writers and Doctor Who fans and bookworms and horse lovers in this house. I'm sitting in the lounge right now with two writers working on our stories. It's amazing.

Yay HR! Sounds awesome.

Now that would be awesome.

Barely any of my friends know I write. "/

You just made me so excited for uni.

I've got a few writer friends, but we're all sort of... all over the place, as far as our WIPs go. Haha.

I have some friends who write, but I'm the only one who is seriously in it for publication and everything.

People think I'm quite crazy when it comes to me being serious about publication.

People usually encourage me, I'm the one who's like, "Yeah, maybe..." Lol.

I just watched the new DW.

Still haven't started watching that yet. I doubt I ever will, haha.

It's so lovely!

I want to start broadening my reading. Does anybody have any sci-fi/adult/MG/fantasy/other recommendations?

I could probably give you a pretty good list of fantasy recs. Starting with...

Ballad by Maggie Stiefvater
Poison by Chris Wooding
The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray, also by Chris Wooding
Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathon Stroud
The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly (adult fantasy)
Beastly by Alex Flinn
Pendragon series by DJ MacHale
The Ghost of Graydon Place by...crap, the author escapes me. It's really, really old. As in I stole the book from my mom; she got it when she was like 15. But it's a really good ghost story. So more paranormal, but still. Great book.

That's all that really occurs to me off the top of my head. I guess for MG I'd probably read the Warriors novels (there's a ton of them and I'm addicted).

Adult: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Sci Fi: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (if you haven't already read it, you absolutely must)

Fantasy: Plain Kate

MG: the Inkheart series
