    My first full-length album

    Thanks. I mostly use Fruity Loops to program drums. Sometimes I record my own sounds to loop, sometimes I just use the presets. My acoustic guitar is an Alvarez cutaway. SaShman, glad you liked that part. It's based on a dream I had, which I typed up a long time ago: The dream about recording...

    My first full-length album

    http://impaledpeach.bandcamp.com/album/impaled-peach My artist name is Impaled Peach. The album is self-titled, I guess. Most of the songs have to do with dreaming and nighttime. 17 tracks, 41:07 minutes Make sure you click "Lyrics" next to the songs to see them.

    Fan Fiction Fellow Writers - Come Chat!

    As if hipsters everywhere don't also (primarily) write short fiction and novels on laptops in Starbucks. The difference is that it's harder to tell the difference between good prose and bad prose than it is to tell the difference between good poetry and bad poetry. It's a cleaner artform. Poetry...

    Fan Fiction Fellow Writers - Come Chat!

    So nobody here likes commenting on poetry except me, eh?

    Poetry A Hollowed Truth(working title)

    This is a bitter poem. The speaker has been hurt in some way by the addressee, it seems, repeatedly. Now the speaker is vowing that this is the end and blames the addressee for pretty much everything. Some of the sentences don't come together grammatically, and even though you disclaimed that...

    Poetry Opinions

    Luckily, you didn't use iambs or meter. If you're interested in learning about those things, you can ask me any questions you have in my "Meter School" thread. You've got rhyming down for the most part. One thing I can point out is that rhymes like "other / beholder," "reservations / reasons,"...

    Font-size selection in User CP

    Make the max default font size 15pt or 16pt. Problem solved. Headache avoided. Members happy. There's nothing stopping me from making my text large and annoying as it is.

    Serious Discrimination due to being...fat. Yes, really.

    This isn't news. Of course fat people are treated like lesser human beings. Whether it's due to genetic problems or not, it's not acceptable in society because it's not attractive and for other reasons. I try not to consciously judge people for being fat, but I'm sure I, like everyone else...

    Poetry Melancholy

    Until you said this, I was merely reacting to the poem. Then you asked me to critique something that I found wrong, so I did. Then you told me you're ignoring it. I'm simply saying you wasted my time.

    Aerith or Aeris

    Basically, they released a game with a character named Aeris and later changed it to "th," like anybody cares. It's like that time Ernest Hemingway came out and said "I changed it to Young Man and the Sea. Call it that from now on."

    Poetry Melancholy

    You're right. I apologize. But please don't say you want criticism and follow it up by saying you'll ignore it. It's a waste of my time. If you can't handle it, just say that you don't want critical comments. I can operate in an objective, observational mode, too. I'm better trained to do that...

    Finding independent artists/bands online

    Wikipedia isn't going to have any home-made music, though. I'm not necessarily talking about indie bands with record labels. I'm talking more about people who record, produce, and publish their own music.

    Font-size selection in User CP

    No, I changed it back to the default because Sylfaen is too small to read comfortably because you don't have a font-size selection option. Sylfaen is a standard Windows font.

    Poetry Melancholy

    That's why opinions exist. To be ignored by bad poets.

    Poetry Melancholy

    It doesn't sound like you want me to critique anything. You're confusing "hard to understand the emotional mind of the speaker" with "hard to understand your huge words." You're being too oblique. You're trying to make your poem sound like it was written in the romantic era. pensive succumbed...

    Poetry Melancholy

    I wouldn't describe this poem as free verse. It's prose poetry. I didn't have any trouble understanding anything. I said a reader might have trouble understanding the emotions or whatever's going on here because the word choice is distancing. You are very clearly going for "striking"...

    That's the spirit. More of that.

    Dreaming and Wakefulness

    I don't think there's anything special about you. You're just not getting enough sleep. You might have a sleep disorder if you're waking up so many times per night. But approximately 60 percent of people don't get enough sleep. You can take steps to correct your sleeping issues, though. First...

    Poetry Melancholy

    Why does it need to be spaced out? Are you David Bowie? This is a dark poem that I feel is a little tainted by its word selection. Either you have a very good vocabulary or are skilled with a thesaurus. But to me, it sounds like you're conjuring an obnoxious mode of poetry spoken by...

    Poetry Happiness

    This is a bit more interesting than the "Sorry" poem because you deviate from the topic of happiness and argue against it while still spelling it out. "Surrender the sorrow" is a charming phrase.
