Hello

[Amata]

Hi. Most of you already know me, but in case for some reason you don't, I'm Amata. "Amata le Fay" on fanfiction, but just "Amata" is fine. By the way, it's not my real name, but I'm paranoid when it comes to the internet.

I'm judging the May Monthly One-Shot Competition, so definitely check that out and write something. The official post with the prompt is in there somewhere (Rowena moved it and I'm not going to go check in the middle of a post, it'd be rude), but basically the prompt is: "What don't you understand? I won." No, it's not a quote from something. It's a phrase I made up and thought would be fun.

I like:

-Writing and Reading. This is pretty natural, seeing as we're all fanfiction people here. I guess "The Hunger Games" goes without saying, too.

-Acting. On Saturday my school went to the Middle School Drama Festival and performed. We got a bronze (3rd out of 3 categories) but we had fun and I got a special award for basically playing an evil gossip stepford-smiler type.

-Shakespeare. I'm pretty obsessed.

-Magic and Fantasy. But it has to be well-written.

-Pie and Pi. Irrational Numbers. The concept of Infinity. Philosophical math.

-Pondering deep ideas while staring into space and not paying attention to the volleyball headed my way in gym class.

I don't like:

-Organizing people into lines.

-Gym class.

-Stuck-up teachers who think they always know better than you just because they're older.

-People who don't care about grammar. Or spelling. Or syntax. Or Shakespeare.

So... yeah. I realize that was uncalled for. But hey, whatever.

(Yeah, real articulate ending. I know.)

Sorry about moving that, Amata

And Welcome!

Hey, Amata!

Wow, the transition is going fast. Okay, then.

By the way, do you have a preference for how I send my contest entry to you (once I write it, of course)?

[Peeta the Frosting Prince]

That's such a cool prompt. Maybe if my muse doesn't hate me, I'll try it.

Also, philosophical math? Wow.

[Amata]

Hannah: There's a special thread on this forum on which to post it, but posting it on fanfiction and PMing me the link would also be fine.

Hey Amata, I don't really think we've spoken before, so hi.

Gotta agree with the teacher thing you said, some of my teachers just think our whole class is full of idiots. -_-

[Rowena]

Sorry to but in on Amata's answer, Hannah, but it'd be great if you could post it on the board designated for that area in addition to posting it on FF.net - we're trying to get that started sort of thing

[Hannah]

Ah, thank you, everyone who answered my question. Once I actually, you know, write it, I'll get it posted.
