Hmm. Your story sounds like something I would read also. *runs to the story board to check it out*
As for those vampire/werewolf books, I've read all the book by Keri Arthur. They were interesting but they were also a little....intense for me. Too much description for my taste (in a sick way). Not very good for a 15 year old to read....maybe a 20 year old or a little younger. 17 maybe. But I don't really like books that actually describe....stuff....in a sick way.

heh, thanks. >.< thats the un-proofed version though, some of the beginning ive already editted a little... but. eh, i guess it'd give you an idea. if you have any opinions on it, or any constructive criticism feel free to give it.
aah, see i haven't read them meself, so i wouldn't know personally, but i think i know what you mean. =P but i dont mind that, i guess i might have when i was younger. i'll be able to give my opinion on it properly when i read them.. but im reading the Silmarillion next, then The Children of Húrin (ive 1/4 of the way through Return Of The King. at the moment) so.. yeah, basically..

Sure, I can do that. I've taking an English class that is two grades higher then the real grade I'm in, but I'm still not that good at writing. I'm got a novel iIm working on myself, but I have not typed it up yet.
I probably will like the books better when I get a little older, but right now, when I reread them, I just skip the nasty parts. Currlently, I'm rereading Eclipse for the 11th time.

yeah, one of the reasons I didn't like the original, was because it wasn't that great a plot, and in the beginning, it wasn't that well-written neither. but you would not believe how much RPing on TS improves your writing skills. Cause although some people aren't that strong RPers, there are many who are, and you tend to pick up skills and things and improve yourself. ive got a load of ideas that i could use for novels, but i want to finish this one, before i even think about starting another one. (otherwise i'll do my old short-story trick, start one, get distracted with another and the first one never gets finished.)
well in books, you definately become more comfortable with stuff with age and experience and stuff. i hate skipping parts in books, i only do it for like, Lord of The Rings, with some of the songs I don't like so much. some of them i really do like, hell i know some off by heart =P *is a fanatic*

I know right! I noticed that it does improve your writing skills. That is why and how my RPs are so much better. Every now and again, they start to lose their goodness, but only when my muse in leaving me. I'm still in the prologue of your story and it is really interesting. And long. Your right about what you said at the beginning. It probably will be long.
Isn't The Hobbit the first one in the Lord of the Rings series? He is a good author. Forgot him name....*thinks* Grr! I hate it when I can't remember.

yeah, i probably should have warned you about the length, and its nowhere near finished yet. >.<
yeah, it is, but i reread The Hobbit not so long ago, and its not like i dont know what happens, i can pretty much recite the exact plot and all the subplots off by heart. >.< tis J.R.R. Tolkien. the masssster. he's an amazing author, and just, im in awe of how in depth he managed to make the entire thing. but i suppose he made it so in depth as an escape. i think it was in the trenches in the war that he thought it up.

Yeah, I kinda figured it would be long.
I've read the series once. The Hobbit is my favorite. They movies are really long. I can't sit through them. J.R.R Tolkien. Thats his name. I always it mixed up with J.K. Rowling.
