For those not in the know.

It starts off really weird, but there are quite a few points where you sit there and go "Damn thats cool." If anything the graphics seem to add tot he affect. And some of hte later stuff is actually really damned inspiring.

Yeah. I just started following it a while ago. I got up to date in Homestuck, before I managed to to finish of Problem sleuth. Lots of fun!

Especially the end to act 3 animation, which I suspect is the reason you've chosen to start this thread now...

Yup. Got it in one.

Also, since this thread started, Act 3 finished, with an AWESOME little gif/Flash thing, we completed a 200 page intermission, and are already about 30 page's into act 4.

This comic get's an average of 5-8 page's a day.

I also find the forum pleasent, everyone's so Cloudcuckoolander'ry that they hardly get upset when people start talking about stuff, I had a decently long conversation about the intricacies of time travel as pertaining to free will with a few people and the set up of two overlapping temporal daisy chaining time tree's, and we didn't get into a massive flame war.

It's nice being able to have a conversation with someone without figuratively screaming everything at them.

I was just wondering cause you seen to be really good at writing in voice, have you had any formal writing experience (school, job, or whatever), or did you get this good by yourself and just writing a lot?

well as is the case with a lot of these questions i guess ill first say thanks thanks and more thanks.

i dont have formal writing experience or training. not creative writing anyway. plenty of technical writing experience though. my trainin's in 'puters.

ive never thought of myself as a writer at all. more of a storyteller, during loftier musings, and a joke teller all other times. writing is one tool i use to tell stories at the moment. its a craft ive improved, semi-deliberately, only for the sake of improving the storytelling process.

in typing out that reason it sounds weird. is there any other reason to do so? when i listen to aspiring writers talk about stuff i often get the sense theyre in it for more than that. like theyre trying to heal some hole in their aura which is preventing them from truly BEING A WRITER. i dont know.

i think writing in voice is pretty simple. its mostly about consistency. choosing a set of parameters and committing to them absolutely. it can even be a shitty set of parameters and a crappy character. but if you keep hammering away at that voice, people will say, damn thats some pretty good characterization there! i mean... they might be WRONG. but theyll SAY it.

the advantage in being so obstinate with the profile you choose is then any deviation you make will be very noticeable. this is to your advantage, if you can control these deviations with purpose and precision. such deviations can serve as the pillars for character development. they cant happen without the consistency first. and ironically, without the consistency, they DO happen. for the wrong reasons. because you fucked up.

syntax is not a typical part of voice in most works but its one ive latched onto aggressively in HS and perhaps solidifies the illusion of strong voice. in fact ive become so conscious of syntax-voice, i noticed for some reason when answering these questions ive gravitated towards an ad hoc syntax, no caps, no apostrophes, otherwise punctuated. i am fearful of deviating from it. because it will mess with your heads if i do. and mine.

See, look. Instant syntax upgrade. It's hard to believe this is even the same person talking!

Inconsistency can be one of great calling cards of utter trash. Glorious inconsistency, artful inconsistency even, I think is something to behold. It's like a window into a defective mind. These are principles I employ in SBaHJ. They interest me for some reason. Will this sentence end with a period? No, looks like it won't. But this one will. Why was that particular word misspelled? Why not just misspell every word? That would make no statement. It would invite no speculation into a uniquely defective thought process.

Just some funny aT facts from the MSPA forums.

-aT once ordered a Big Mac at Burger King and was told that they didn't have them. He said okay and got a Whopper instead. It was pretty good.

- adiosToreador doesn't sleep, he waits in his bed to sleep and then kinda has trouble getting to sleep but that's ok he's still cool.

- Underneath adiosToreador's beard there is no chin, mostly because he doesn't have a beard yet but if he did; man, he'd just be cooler.

- adiosToreador can win a game of connect four in FIVE moves; he usually doesn't though but that's ok.

- adiosToreador tried to count to infinity and got REALLY CLOSE; man, you would not BELIEVE how close he got.

- When adiosToreador does a pushup, he can ALMOST make it all the way back down again!

- aT once got so angry that he overturned his desk and stormed out of the room.

- aT constantly buts heads with Dane Cook for most punchable face, and it's always a close win for him.
