  • A diagnosis for a fictional character?

    I have a character that is very violent, is always connecting things to death, murder or hurting people, is obsessed with blood, weapons, planning on ways to attack people, etc, etc. They never follow through with what they say, though they often threaten to stab people with whatever is in their hand. Socially, they are more of an introvert, not loud and outgoing, unless with people who they trust. They can switch personalities very easily, on purpose to get what they want.

    Is there some kind of medical diagnosis for someone like this, or are they just rather crazy?

  • I'd like to get something published, but I don't know where. Suggestions?

    I have a story that is a little over 8,000 words long. It is a horror story, and it's very graphic and bloody. I'd like to get it published, but I'm really sure where to. It's too short to be a novel, so I don't think I could actually get it published. It's a little rough, because I haven't had it properly edited, but I could somehow do that.

    I'm a freshman in high school, so I have a super small budget. If you have any suggestions, please tell me.

  • Where should I publish my story to?

    I have written and currently typing a story. It is too short to get actually published, but it is too long to be labeled as a short story. I wanted to send it in to a publisher of some sort, but I don't know where. I was thinking of a writing magazine. The thing is that it is highly bloody, graphic, violent, and has some language. Is there a magazine (or other option) I could send it into that would even remotely consider it, like a horror magazine?

  • What Bamboo tablet should I get?

    I'm 14 years old and I really want to be able to draw and sketch things on my computer. I've heard from several people I should get a Bamboo tablet, but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't plan on doing anything super fancy with the tablet, like I'm not into photo editing. Just sketching and drawing. I don't know what the requirements are for a Bamboo tablet. I have an Asus Netbook and Gimp, but I didn't know if the tablets came with any free software. I'm trying to keep my budget under $300, by the way.

  • Story and plot ideas?

    I'd like to write a novel, and I have a setting all laid out, but I need a main plot. It's like the story Princess and the Frog, but instead, this girl's goldfish that she's had since she was six turned into a guy (it was because of this curse thing) and because of this curse, the two can only be twenty feet apart from each other. That's the main idea, and I don't know how to continue from there. I'd like it to have some romance, but I don't want it to be over-powering. (I don't do forbidden love romance, or which-boy-do-I-like-best romance.)

    I need any help with plot ideas, but I'd also like to know if you think the setting is too cliché. Any comments are accepted, but please, no hate.

  • Do I have misophonia?

    For a while now, I get really angry when I hear certain noises, like people eating, drinking, clinking of silverware, coughing, sneezing, breathing, and whistling. And it's not like I just simply don't like the noise. I get really upset and frustrated when I hear them, and I cannot function when I hear them. Half the time, I have to leave the room or turn on my iPod to block the noises. When I try to explain this to people, it is always pointed out that I'm not bothered when I make the noises. Afterwards, people tell me to toughen up and I need to ignore it.

    How am I supposed to ignore it when I feel like ripping someone's head off at the dinner table?!

    Anyways, I heard about this thing, misophonia, and I thought that the way it was described is the exact way I feel with the noises. Do I actually have it, or am I being delusional?

  • Please help!! Camera Advice!!!?

    I'm 14 years old and I'm just getting into photography. I want to upgrade from a Kodac camera and I'm stuck between two different models, the Olympus TG-1iHS 12 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom or the Olympus Digital Camera TG-820. Both are waterproof, and YES being water proof is a must. I've never had lessons before and I want a camera to take pictures I can blow up (no bigger than 8x10), or make into cards to give and sell, etc. I'd like to go with the second option, because it's cheaper, but I don't know if there's something I should know about it.

    Also, if you know any good places, such as websites, to buy NEW cameras for cheap, like Overstock.com, please give me a link. I appreciate any advice and I thank you in advance.

  • What type of camera should I get?

    I'm 14 and I've always been fascinated by photography, but I've never really done it myself, until recently when I got an iPod with a camera on it. Now I've been taking more pictures, but when I put them on my laptop, they're terrible because the camera on my iPod isn't that great.

    I wanted to know, what type of camera should I get? I don't have a specific area I'd take photos of because I want to take pictures of nature, people, still objects, water, etc, and I need an all-around camera that isn't that hard to use. And, I really want to stay away from film and SLR's. I really appreciate any suggestions on a specific model.

    PS. I have never taken a photography class before either, so maybe a camera that I can figure out easily would also be nice.

    PPS. I am also leaning towards a Canon, Nikon, or Olympus.

  • Help! Am I really anorexic?

    About a month ago, I decided to lose a pound or two. (I'm 13 and I weighed 115 and roughly 5'2".) I just wanted to establish healthy eating habits and all that jazz. So I started to watch what I ate, made healthy choices, tried not to eat the entire bag if potato chips, and I tried to be a little more active. (Because I am NOT sporty at all.)

    Soon, I lost 3 pounds. I was thrilled. I now wanted to just keep it off. I stuck to the same routine, because it did become a habit, which I guess is good. But now, I've lost another 3 pounds and I weigh 109. I guess that's OK, it's no biggy, but I'm just afraid that I'm becoming anorexic or something like that and that I'll just keep loosing weight until it becomes a problem.

    Can someone tell me if I really do have an eating disorder, or am I just being paranoid?

  • Does this story have potential? !!Opinions wanted!!?

    I want to know if this first chapter had any potential. I have changed some of it since I posted it to wattpad; I just wanted to throw that out there. I also have written about 5 chapters, but have only typed one, so please, no seriously negative comments. Only constructive critism and honest opinions. Thanks! :)

  • Would you read this story?

    So, I've got only one chapter up on wattpad, though I do have more handwritten chapters. I want your opinions, but please, don't be mean.

    It's a fantasy story about grim reapers, so it's a bit different.
