Bio:

Support A Bit Drunk Corkscrew!

There are so many things I could tell you about myself. I could tell you I'm strawberry blonde with cute red lips and a pale complexion that makes me look like I've secretly fallen out of a British Fairytale; or I could say I'm this crazily obsessed girl with these eyes that change colour when I'm mad or sad, and need a constant supply of slash to keep me sane. I could tell you that there is nothing inside me, that I'm running off life.
I could tell you everything and nothing. But instead, I'll give you a smile, and let you decide for yourself. Who am I? Why... I'm me.

I've just turned twenty one. Bearing in mind I change this information every time I get a bit older, I suddenly now feel like I've definitely... definately... (Damn, Matt was right) definitely had this LJ longer than was ever necessary. But it's better that I do, as I've said a million times, because I need to write. And have my memories somewhere I can read over them and go, you lunatic.

I'm mainly a writer. Mainly. I say that; it consumes my soul. Writing consumes my soul. Good writing consumes my soul. Bad writing just destroys my soul. Bad grammar consumes my identity and makes me weep unforgivable tears. Unless it's one, genuine mistake. Or two. There are limits though.
Mainly, I'm a writer. Partially, I'm a girl who has too much interest in her own fantasies and types them out and forces others to read them. (Not really forces, but you know what I mean.)

At the moment, I've just finished my degree of writing at University. I write stories. But I also write fanfiction. I'll happily say that writing fanfiction has actually led me to have a higher ability to write than I feel I would've had should I not have written any. Because I can look back at my earlier works... and see how bad they are. At the time - they were my best. Now, they are my worst. But the elements that make a story work were always there. I just never developed enough to understand that. Now, though, I'm conscious of what makes a story. I'm conscious of what is necessary to finish one off.

But I understand now that it's necessary to go over a lot of things; and that just because fanfiction is fanfiction, it doesn't have an automatic right to be awful. This debate happens in a million different fandoms - from McFly to Harry Potter, from Gundam Wing to - hell, what else can I use as an example? There are millions. And the thing is, writing does start off awfully and can progress; but only if we help each other. Scolding each other does not always work. Forcing facts down each others throats just makes us defensive. I'm sitting here going, "is that the right use of the word others, is it others's?" seconding guessing myself because I'm so afraid that someone else will say that my grammar is awful and I shouldn't judge other people. They're right (the infamous they) I shouldn't; but I do like to see people using correct grammar where possible.

Now. Off the rant about writing. General stuff that I just feel should be stuck here.

I should state that once more, I've changed my LJ - sitting atop my screen is Dougie, pondering my words. Although I still know absolutely bog-all about CSS, I managed to find the coding to allow me to change the top, and look! There it goes. Changed into the dark, beautiful scene that is Dougie...

For the last year and a half I've been really trying to re-do my website, to no avail. Sadly due to unforseen circumstances, Toasty Host died and so I've no longer got a website. I could get a new one, but to be honest I don't think I need it anymore. Yes, websites are fun and stuff but - I have A Bit Drunk Corkscrews to focus my webskills on if I want to play, and I don't need a site, so much as space. I do still write, of course I do. It's just I'll put it all up here if I want it up. Simple as that; friendslocked most likely for security purposes.

Simple... but effective, and true. With those words, I bid you farewell.
