The Path Ahead

Shit, I think Raffy is my favorite so far, Apokalipse. I don't want anyone to take this as me putting down their characters, but I just have a thing for the evil / bad chicks, haha. And you're playing her really well, in my opinion.

(Also, so many people are posting even though we're still missing one--are we just moving on, or...?)

Wow, I didn't think I'd be able to handle high casual in regards to post length, but y'all give plenty to work with and that is awesome. In free, it's hard to reply sometimes because you're lucky to find people who post even a paragraph. But I like this environment a tad more. uwu I already got a reply ready for when Cyra posts.

Yeah, I just realised that after it was posted. Ah well, people can just work around it and post in relation, and I'll wait a little bit before posting again.Aww, thanks! And thanks in regards to your edit as well, that genuinely means a lot. Sometimes that's all you need to be convinced to continue writing, just the tiniest shred of acknowledgment.Aww, thanks!

You're welcome. :D

I tend to do that: post, then edit a minute or several later because I realize I want to add something, haha, so I'm glad you noticed it.

Perfect for a camping spot, if Jojo were a boy scout. But he wasn't. Frankly, he didn't care...

Pffft, this made me giggle.

I really like your writing and character--they add some much needed humor.

Answer violence with violence?

"You need words, understanding, love, therapy etc. to stop bullying. Violence makes it worse".

Now, although I mainly agree with the latter point...do people here feel that there is more of a balance we need to reach?

That's exactly what I believe. I didn't straight up say it but I hinted at it with my edit: violence can only put a pause on the problem. It doesn't solve it. That's why it's important to turn to only as a last resort.

If you beat someone up to make them stop beating someone else up, you might accomplish your goal, but there is no way this person learned how to be a better human being from the experience. You'll still have a hateful--probably even more hateful--person who needs to see an example of compassion being made to work. Otherwise you're just perpetrating the idea that violence is the right choice in accomplishing your goal. It's not.

You do need that balance. You need to--if you decide to resort violence--follow up with compassion. The bully needs just as much help as the victim. Rehabilitation is important. People--especially in the US (I say this based on our prison systems, which doesn't help the prisoners get back on their feet to contribute positively to society at all)--don't seem to understand that.

Actually I've read mine, may be for the hundredth time already since I posted it, and I didnt feel happy nor bad about it. I mean, I know its not that good, but it wasnt that bad also. I dunno, looking at this great posts from everyone makes me feel like there's still a lot of work I need to do with my writing. But its a good thing, really, because it makes me want to write more, and to really work on it.Meh, I just want let that one out srry

Yeah, different writers are bringing different skills to the table. Makes it hard to see your own strengths when everybody else does so well with different techniques, haha. But they're thinking the same thing, I bet--I know I am.

And, Lilly, your CS is fine, I think. I'll accept it for you and take the blame if Books disagrees. You've waited long enough, and I don't see anything that would get your sheet rejected. I like the video diary idea especially.
