Carter: -glares at me from across the table- -crosses legs and shoves arms together- Me: You know, forgiveness is divine.
Carter: --
Me: -sighs- We could be friends....
Carter: --
Me: All you have to do is get over it.
Carter: -turns head away from me-
Me: Carter, will you please just forgive me.
-crickets chirp-
Me: Please?
-crickets chirp-
Me: Please?
-crickets chirp-
Me: -yelling- Carter answer me
Carter: -wags finger- You're breaking a rule.
Me: SCREW THE RULES!!
Carter: -shakes head- -stares off toward window-
Me: When the heck did you become so good at controlling your temper?
Carter: I have had a lot of practice.
Me: Right....
Carter: She's lucky to be alive....
Theifsoul: *hisses* I. Hate. You.Me: *crossly* It's a plot, Theifsoul. Quit it.
Thiefsoul: You-! *launches self at me*
Butterflypath: *steps in front of me* Thiefsoul!
Me: *mutters* Goodbye. *Thiefsoul and Butterflypath dissapear*
Me: ECHO! ECHO Echo! echo! echo.......Thiefsoul: GET ON WITH IT!!!!!
Me: *shifts uncomfortably*
Thiefsoul: No, don't you dare! Don't you even dare leave me like this!!
Me: Weeellllll..... Wait, how did you get here?
Theifsoul: I'm dead now. You don't have so much power over me.
Damein: whats with the human? Do I have to blow her up?Noah: No
Me: Don't hurt me. Hey Noah can you be all like confrontational for me?
Noah: Yeah sure. Oh no you didn't *snaps fingers in Z formation* And if you do blow her up she our story wouldn't get finished.
Me: I don't normaly finish stories anyway.... *sighs* Depressingly enough.......Thiefsoul: *hisses* I've noticed.
Noah: Though she probably won't finish the story anyway but she'll know the ending in her headDamein: True. If she doesn't finish the story can I blow her up
Noah: No!
Anita: I hate how you switch from story to story.Me: What now? Oh sorry it's a habit.
Anita: It's annoying!
Calvin: I hope you write us for Nanowitmo.
Me: I don't think I can. Technically, I've already finished you're novel, I just need to critically edit it. Therefore, I don't think it counts.
Calvin: Write the second book then!
Me: I can't either. The critical edit is tweaking the plot a bit.
Calvin: *growls*
Brook: She's going to be writing US!
Flamira: FINALLY! I hate being stuck with you're sword to my neck!
Brook: *laughs*
Glashira: You two are pathetic.

June:*grinning* yeah?
Me:I was just wondering. Are you happy about what I let Harold do the other day?
June:Are you kidding me?!?!?!? Why wouldn't I be?
Me: Ahh, yes. Another romance. *smiles*Carter: *waves hand in my face* You okay?
Me: Yes. Just reminiscing over what Roni wrote the other day....
Carter: 'Kay....
Me: *lightbulb goes off over head* Can I bring in someone new?
Carter: Huh?
Me: I just started this new thing with this other guy character ... I think you two will get along really well, and you can help him adjust to life here.
Carter: --
Me: Okay. I'll bring him in. *calling* Daniel!
*Daniel appears*
Daniel: Lucifer I'm in no mood.... *looks around* *spots me and Carter* Where the heck am I?
Me: In a room created by my obnoxiously weird brain.
Daniel: Great ... yeah, okay, so I've gotta go.
Carter: Don't bother trying. She'll just make you read the rules, and then bore you with her insistant nagging.
Me: Me? I haven't been nagging you ... yet.
Daniel: Okay ... can I please go?
Me: Nope. Sit down and make yourself comfortable. You'll be here for a while.
Me: Yay, someone else posted in here!!Thiefsoul: I'm waiting.....
Me: *sighs* I'll deal with you later! *Thiefsoul dissapears* Hmm..... What now......... Do I have any named characters in my notebook?
Mod
ME:It's a long story, and I doubt you'd believe me. Let's just say I pulled you out of your world so I could talk to you, to get to know you better.
JACKIE:F*** you. I don't want to be hear and I don't want to talk to you.
ME:Here, it doesn't matter what you think.
JACKIE:Great. Just f***ing great. I can't get away from being lorded over by some f***ing a**hole.
ME:*sigh* I guess I couldn't expect anything better from you.
JACKIE:What's that supposed to mean?
ME:*gasps in a fake way* You didn't swear!
JACKIE:F*** you. I'm outta here.

Cool! Drags in Kaitlyn and Heather.Kaitlyn: What the-

Heather: Ummm.. *mumbles to quietly to hear* Umm.. I'm Heather
Me: Speak up, Heather! We can't hear you. *picks up paper* Heather speaks louder
Heather: I hate it when you do that! Hello, I'm Heather. I am shy. I'm a listener.

Pierre: Whoa. What's going on?

Bobby John: Don't condescend me with derogatory terms!
Me: huh?
BJ: 'kitty-witty'! You called me 'kitty-witty'!
Me: It's a term of affection, Bobby Baby.
BJ: Will I be spared no dignities? Pierre, attack this wretched creature.
P: I like humans....

M: I just found out I'm a witch! How do you think life's treating me?!
R: Well, I had to break it to you somehow . . .
Dragging in Gwen!Gwen: Umm... where am I?

Gwen: Okay, well I want to talk to you *puts hands on hips*
Me: Here we go again... *sigh*
Gwen: I don't want a boyfriend! I don't! I'm gorgeous and live in a futuristic time and you're giving me a BOYFRIEND!

KURT:*appears. looks around for bird. sees me, and starts*
ME:Hello, Kurt. How have you been?
KURT:*oh crap expression crosses his face. eyes widen. turns around and runs*
ME:Kurt!!! Wait! Don't run away! I'm not like the other humans! *starts running after him, out the door*
~ten minutes later~
ME: *comes back into room, panting* How am I ever going to get to talk to him? He's just too fast of a runner!
Gwen: Ride a hoverboard. DUH!Me: Gwen, be nice to Roni she's kewl. She lives in my time, remember? No hoverboards.
Gwen: *rolls eyes*
Mod
Harold:Wow, I haven't been here in a long, long time.
Me:*jumps in surprise* Harold! *hugs Harold* I haven't seen you in forever!
Harold: Same.
Me: So how has everything been going, now that it's been more than a year?
Harold: Everything was fine before. June and I broke up after a while because the long distance thing wasn't working out. But we were still friends. But today has been weird.
Me:Um, what do you mean by weird?
Harold: I went back to the story, but I was in a bunch of different parts at once. It was really, really confusing.
Me: That's... strange. I think I might know why, but is anything else happening that's weird?
Harold: Wait, you know what's going on? What is it?
Me: Hang on a second. Answer my question first, then I'll answer yours.
Harold: Fine. Some of the stuff that happened during that time was just... weird. Like it existed but it didn't exist, or it was the same, but it was changed. There were even a few things that were sort of there that weren't there before.
Me: Well, that's got to be the revising that I'm doing, then.
Harold: Revising?
Me: Um, fixing plot holes and stuff. I mean, didn't it ever seem weird to you that June could climb up a tree with a broken arm? Or a wall for that matter. And what about the fact that you were her only friend? The fact that you started liking her very, very suddenly? The fact that you knew where her dad lived, that she even had a dad?
Harold: Um, no, not really. They all seemed normal to me. Do you question your own universe?
Me: Absolutely.
Harold: I'd forgotten how weird you were.
Me: I'm glad that you remember. And I'm sorry about the whole messy plot thing right now. I would suggest hanging out in only the rough draft, not the notecards that make up the outline for what the story is going to be like. You probably won't want to leave the rough draft until I at least get things set with the next draft. And I would suggest that to the other characters too, just so that it's easier on everyone.
Harold: this makes even less sense than it did while you were writing the story.
Me: I know. But I have to go now. So enjoy the rough draft while you can! Bye!
Harold: Bye.
Me: Hi! You haven't met me yet, but I've known you all your life.Kasia: ... Excuse me? Who are you?
Me: Oh, just another one of those figments of your imagination that reveals something about you
Kasia: How do you know about those?!
Me: Like I said, I've known you all your life
Kasia: Well if you haven't gotten anything important to say to me, just leave.
Me: I just wanted to apologize for your rather twisted past. It was the only way...
Kasia: Only way to what?
Me: Well, I don't want to spoil it for you, do I? You'll just have to find out. I promise more will happen. soon.
Kasia: What do you have to do with what happens to me?
Me: I've said too much. You'll just have to wait. Goodbye!
Kasia: What? I'm not a very patient person. Get back here or else...
My character's name is Arendil. the story she's from isn't in here, so i guess you all can get to know her as i do.Me: Hey
A: Wow, why am i here?
Me: I brought you here, to get to now you better. And maybe you can get to know some peeps from other books, to
A: *cautious glance around*
Me: Oh, stop being so nervous. You can trust me.
A: How do i know that?
Me: I created you. No one now you better then me. Except maybe Zaron.
A: You now about him? He confuses me..
Me: That's because you like him.
A: O.O
Me: Eventually you'll marry him and have a kid - Xoriaz.
A: Ahahaha. Yeah, ok - "Creator". Whatever you say.
Me: You're still not trusting me.
A: Look, I'm stressed out as it is. My mother was dying last time i was... home.
Me: You're only there? Well, much more will happen. I'm afraid you're life will become even more difficult to understand.
A: What? How do you know that? Why should I believe you?
Me: Arendil, believe me. You were an "orphan" on Earth. You ran from your adopted parents and made it back to your world. You met Zaron along the way, but he had very strong powers he couldn't quite keep in control, so you split up. He made it to your world, to. He's there now, at the same time I just pulled you from the story.
A: Oh dear Oreon.
Me: Oh, yeah, and Oreon is your God.
A: *faltering gasp/sig* How did you know all of this? Were's Zaron? I haven't seen him since we split up on Earth,
Me: I told you before, I created you. ALL of you. Even Oreon. And I'm sorry, but I can't tell you were Zaron is. It'd ruin the story.
A: THE STORY?! This is my life you're talking about! What if he's hurt, what if he needs me? I need him!
Me: Believe me, everything will turn out ok. It has to happen this way.
A: -.- You're unbelievable. Why don't we just talk about something else.
Me: Ok. I'll just ask you some questions.. *looks at paper*
A: ~sarcastic~ Psh yeah just go ahead, read me like a book.
Me: Thanks. K, question one: Why do you act so bitter?
A: Cuz i can't trust anyone. Anyone could hurt me. And I'm confused about my life. I don't get enough answers or I get to many answers all at once and I can't gather it all up. You pile to much on me!
Me: Sorry. But we're really not here to complain.
A: Complain! *gets up, knocking over chair* you've given me the hardest role in the whole book, haven't you?!
Me: well, yes, but that's because you're the main character. The book's interesting because you're interesting. Please sit down, you can have some hot chocolate.
A: *sighs* Ok. *takes hot chocolate.* I'm sorry about that little outbreak. I have a slight temper sometimes. Mostly i keep it under control.
Me: I know. I gave it to you, so I can't really complain.
A: *rolls eyes* I forgot, Mrs. All-knowing.
Me: I gave you the sarcastic edge, to.
A: Ugh.
Me: But most of the time you keep it under your mannerly exterior, right?
A: Yeah, my mannerly and bitter exterior. Geez you just made me a wreck.
Me: Sorry. Can we just get along?
A: Sorry, creator.
Me: It's Amanda.
A: Alright. We can get along. *Smiles* *Points at candle* Erifon! *candle lights*
Me: *smiling* Your first magic-word.
A: ANywayy
Me: Ok. So what i really wanted to know when I brought you here is why I'm having trouble writing about you lately.
A: Great, my life is at a standstill because you have writer's block.
Me: Hey, chill, you won't notice it once your back in the book. Your life will just seem to continue at a normal pace.
A: Alright, thats ok then. So you haven't been able to write me?
Me: Not really. I can't get more than a couple of lines. I get bored.
A: Thanks.
Me: We're not getting anywhere.
A: Sorry, sorry. Well have you tried pulling me out of the book before?
Me: No. Don't you think you'd remember something like meeting your creator?
A: Hey, i don't know the rules. If I can't tell when my life stops why should I be able to tell when I get pulled out of my life.
Me: I'm getting confused.
A: Why? You made me.
Me: Agh! I'm supposed to be figuring out how to keep writing your life.
A: Just keep going. If there's anything I've learned from our conversation, it's that when you write my life, whether good or bad things happen, everything falls into place.
Me: *Laughs* Sounds good, I've probably just been being lazy...
A: Um, yeah I think so. You're asking your CHARACTERS how to write the story. Come on. You're the author.
Me: Well it worked, didn't it?
A: I guess.
Me: So you wanna hang out here?
A: Sure, for a bit. I see cookies!
Me: Oh hey Amanda. Sorry. Arendil here was a little distracting.A: Didn't you want to talk to me? Wasn't that the whole point? *nibbles cookies*
Me: Well i brought you here so we could talk AND meet other characters and authors.
A: Alright. Hi, Amanda!
Me: So, Saved By Grace, what story is Amanda from?
A: Hey, Amanda? Not character-Amanda, my-author-Amanda?Me: Yeah?
A: Well I've just been back in the book for a minute, and I can tell It's not moving forward. And I feel like i have two pasts.
Me: Ah, crap. I was afraid that might happen. I think now that you know about me, you're not ignorant anymore about the actual path if your life.
A: You mean I can tell what you're doing to me now? I can tell what you're writing, even from the book?
Me: Well, yeah, at least until the final draft, then you'll just live the final draft once and be done. The story will just be words then.
A: How sad.
Me: It'll just feel normal once it happens, believe me.
A: So what about this "two pasts" feeling?
Me: I kinda have two rough drafts.
A: *rolls eyes* Great, so I'm remembering two possible pasts?
Me: Yep. but once i figure out which one to keep the trashed one will just feel like a dream. It'll work out, don't worry.
A: I won't. I trust you. One other question, though: why do I act so differently here than in the book?
Me: I think cuz the book is supposed to be dramatic. You can't be to much like a teen in the real world.
A: Hmm... I'll have to think whether or not I agree with that.
Me: Ok. *sets out lemonade, milk, and brownies* I hope someone brings some cereal.
A: Why?
Me: I like cereal.
Me: sounds cool! nice to meet you, Amanda.Arendil: My life is confusing.
Me: I made it that way.
A: there are to many girls in it. I'm fighting a girl, and my dad dies, and I have to go to those stupid mountains to get a secret from the MS, who's also a girl....
Me: Zaron's not a girl.
A: Duhh. Can you bring him in? I miss him!! We're not together in the book yet.
Me: Ok, i guess I can. *pulls Zaron from the book*
Zaron: Woow. what happened? I'm so tired...
Me: Hey, Zaron. I created you.
Z: Aha. Ok.
Me: This is a place where authors bring their characters to get to know them better.
Z: Whatever you say. Aren! You're here too!
A: Zaron, I missed you so much! My world called me to be very busy, and I haven't been able to find out where you are in the story right now.
Z: I'm in -
Me: HEY! You can't tell her. It would mess everything up.
A: You can not tell him what to do.
Me: HA! Watch me. *writes: "Zaron was in another world. His author was there. He felt in the depths of his heart the grating urge to tell Arendil all that had passed since they were separated, but his writer would not allow it. He could not even get the words out of his mouth"*
Z: That's terrible! How could you do that to Aren!
Me: Everything will be ok in the end, trust me. Brownie? *holds tray*
M: I think this group is dead! :(Z: It's like a ghost town
A: I think someone already said that.
Me: ... Yeah.., so it’s kinda cold out, have you noticed?Zena: *blank stare*
Me [looking at the floor timidly:]: So! How are you nowadays? I see you’ve had a hair cut…
Zena:*glares*
Me: Look, I’m really sorry! I didn’t mean to do it! Tell me what I can do to make it up!?
Zena looks at the cookies on her plate and then at the last of the milk that is now soaking into the carpet.
Zena [pouting:]: Make the milk come back.

Amelia: Who the hell are you?
Me: Nobody important.
Amelia: Then why the hell are both of us here? I was just at my wedding a second ago.
Me: Umm, yes, you were. *to self* what am I going to tell her! be explaining the author/character probably won't go over well.
Amelia: But why are we here?
Me: ummmmmm...
Amelia: Great, you don't know either. But I guess it's better than getting married to Demetri.
Me: Why do you hate him?
Amelia: I don't. He's pretty damn hot. You can probably tell that it's not the first time I've thought that by my bloated stomach. God, I'm so fat.
Me: You're not fat, you're pregnant. But why don't you want to marry him?
Amelia: Being pregnant is worse. And I only dated him for a month and a half during the summer. I could tell he would've broken up with me if I hadn't gotten knocked up.
Me: But it's better than him deserting you, isn't it?
Amelia: We're probably going to be divorced five years from now, so it doesn't matter either way. We don't even have that much in common, except that we had sex.
Me: Can't you be at least a little optimistic? You're about to walk down the aisle after all.
Amelia: Who are you anyway? I don't have to listen to you anymore. I'm leaving. Bye.
Me: Bye. See you soon.
Amelia: What's that supposed to mean?
Me: Oh, nothing. Bye!
Me: My my. See, aren't you glad you're not being forced into a marriage or having your parents killed?A: My mother is dying!
Me: Oh, right. Well, I.. uh...
A: What?
Me: Yum, good cookies..
A: Ugh. Fine, be that way. I'll find out in good time.
Me: Yes, you will. I'm glad you're being patient.
Zena: Cookies? Is she eating my cookies?!Me: Calm down. They're not your cookies.
Zena: Then why is my plate empty?
Me: ...umm...
Me: Great, you ate her cookies?A: I resent that. And I didn't come here to have childish arguments.
M: Of course you didn't. I'm sorry.
A: Well who did it then?
M: .....
Me: I think we missed them, Forret; the last message was posted almost two years ago!Forret: Wha' are y'talking abou'? The last message was postied in 2010! That's almos' two 'undred years in the future!
Me: Well.. actually, i've sort of... brought you... forward in time...
Forret: Stop larking abou'! Tha' ain't possible!
Me: Well... what do you think we are looking at these messages WITH?
Forret: A.. uhh... strange shaped... movin'... book?
Me *smiling*: Not quite... And i think that before we go any further you should probably own up about eating Zena's cookies.
Forret*sighs*: Fine, sorry... err... Zena. Bu' y' sure are a great cook :)
Me: Sorry, guys, he's a kleptomaniac, he just can't help stealing stuff.
Forret: WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME??
Me: Uhh... Kleptomaniac?
Forret: Oh... wha's that?
Me: A theif, who just can't stop stealing.
Forret: I AM NOT A THEI- Well.. i guess i kinda am...
Me: yeah, you kinda are. So anyway do you believe you're in the future yet?
Forret *slowly*: No! Bu' let's preten' - jus' for a lark y'know- that i AM in th' "future", wha's happen'd to Riffy, Jasten an' Dellfane an'... an'..yeah, them?
Me: I'm not really sure... I guess without you the story is probably frozen in time.
Forret *utterly dumbfounded, and slightly annoyed*: Wha' are you goin' on abou'?? First y'bring me FORWARD in time an' now yer ravin' on about it freezin' like an icy pop! An' wha's this lark abou' a STORY?
Me: Oh nevermind... But, you know, i can bring your friends here too?
Forret *rolling his eyes*: Now how are y-
Riffkin *materialises out of thin air*: What the HELL IS GOING ON??
*Forret collapses on the floor*
Me: Oh dear, i think he's fainted.
