Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

I meant why don't you trust putting it up on AW...

I'm protective of who sees my whole plot and or stories. I know most people are very very trustworthy, but don't want anyone stealing my plot. Heard a few months ago it happened to someone. They posted a story on some site and someone went and self published it on google with there name on it!!!

Ally, if it worries you that much, why not just PM or e-mail it to a few people?

I would but i don't have people to email or pm it too. That's why i was thinking of SYW for a little while till i got paranoid.

Stealing a plot and stealing an entire story are two different things. I've never had a problem posting ideas online because even if two people have the exact same concept, the two stories are still going to be completely different. People have similar ideas all the time; that doesn't mean they stole them.

As for the situation mentioned, don't post an entire story on a site.

ETA: I would offer but plot is one of my biggest issues. Ask Para? She's really good with story arcs.

Or Tally.

ETA: I pretty much have a skeleton of the playlist for Underdogs Book Three already. Wow.

Well its a very very detailed plot that's why i was worried. Its practically the length of a short story at just about 7K.

YO HO People! I just watched a good 3 episodes of the first season of Supernatural for the first time. Loved it. Didn't like it when it first started because, well, I wasn't much into paranormal stuff then, i found it scary. lol
But now that I've read/seen more vampire/ghost/supernatural stuff in general, I think i can handle it all now. woot!

Up to 22k on my WIP at the moment, also. So I'm pleased with that. Me and a friend on twitter are competing to see who can finish first. ahha.

Hey Kat! That's great! how are you today?

Wow its sooooooo dead here today. Where is everyone?

I'm going to plotting/checking out Neville/Luna fanmixes soon.

I'm recharging after line-editing a whole novel in 6 hours flat. Think I'm edited out for tonight.

I suggest a nice movie or book.

Have no idea who that is.... but have fun!

It's a Harry Potter thing.

Holy Crap!!!! I've tried doing stuff like that before. Its so laborious i usually start crying after the first 2 hours, but that's usually because i only made it 4 pages and found out stuff still wrong on page one! heheheheehehe

You need to relax. Lisa's right, a movie, or just sleep for the next 12 hours!

Now my outline is completely finished and spell checked! Anyone ever see an add of Beta reading or anything for an outline? I know i haven't.... hum. Maybe i'll be the first.

I'm a really fast reader, so I can make a lot of progress in a day, but I do need recovery time afterward.

I would imagine!!!

Masse, density, pressure, force... How I hate thee.

(heheh. Mass, not masse. French is taking over my life, little by little.)

I need to research kidnapping.

Hey everyone!

I'm editing a youtube video. This is going to take forever. 0_0

Bed.

I'm giving up on studying. I get it enough, I think, for the test tomorrow.
