Greetings,
My name, that label my parents stuck on me the day I was born, is Aaron. I have been writing seriously for a few years, and my first novel is currently a work in progress. I love the fantasy genre; the more fantastic the better. I used to dislike dark references in stories, such as blood and anger, because I thought that it would ruin the 'fantasticness' of the story. Now I realize that even death, the darkest reference, only deepens the tale and makes it better.
At the time of writing this, I'm close to eighteen. I plan to become a high school English teacher, and I will begin my training for that in the fall. My original intent was to earn my way out of that career with my writing, but I think I'd rather stick around, and share what I learned with others. I look forward to sharing my work here and reading other people's work as well. Along with novels, I love to write poetry, which I usually get good feedback on, so I hope you enjoy it.
The Aspirant,

Ah, how refreshing to see an intelligent newb for once. x3 I like the name Aaron, I'd name my kid that some day, if I had any boys. Or even if I have kids. xD
Anyways, welcome to the site, Aaron. I hope you have a good time here.

Wow, Bowie, no snide comments? No biting rebukes? *stares* Anyway, welcome, Aaron. I hope you enjoy your stay here. I, too, love fantasy, but too much blood and gore kind of repels me from a good story. Deaths are perfectly okay for me, as long as they are realistic and well-planned. Anger is a basic emotion that brings a story alive for me; in fact, in my soon-to-be-published books, anger--and other emotions--are the root of power. Anyway, enough babbling--welcome!! PM me for crits or simply random conversation!

Hey dude! We've met, but I'll let you know who I am anyways. ^_^
And hey! I'm turning 18 too! Yay! We can be twins! ^_^
Anywho, I admire your wish to be a teacher, although I myself couldn't stand to do it - I've seen what it did to my parents, and, quite frankly, I'm slack. ^_^ And proud of it!
But all the best, and let me know if you need anything! ^_^ I'm on here most of the time...Sad, but true...
Much grinnage!
Miss Smiley ^_^

Noooo, there are too many fantasy writers! We should make all of them leave the site.

Carraka, I am appalled at you for disowning your own people. Shame on you! *wags finger dramatically*
