Post Why I'm Hating This Board

All the fanfix are all drama!I mean "Passion and Reunion" the "Terrible Secret of Boots St.Clair" I mean the show was a comedy!Why do we have to make SO many dramatizations?It is either Jo's dying or Blair is sick of herself It really weird.But y'all go head and do it y'all's way.I know that my FanFic "Guest Spots" will be NOTHING like that!

People do have diff tastes.I guess I never liked drama because I associate it with horror which I associate with the movie Candyman which I associate with scary things and well.....

I only cry at the really well written ones, and on the Division fanfic, wich I just finished up on, on the past 4 I've cried. 3 because they were so sad, and one because I was laughing too hard! "Make the voices stop!!! It hurts! Make the evil people stop!" Lol, that fic was good. Anyway, I'll read it no matter what it is. I just think it's easier for me to write dramatic ones, because I have to act my fics out (no all the parts, don't weird out on my or anything. Although I can make very realistic bruises.), and it's hard to laugh at my own joke, especially when it's not funny. What I try to do is write a dramatic fic intertwined with comedy, it's really not that hard to do. Plus, my blonde-ness gives me an advantage above all you brunettes out there! hehee, I gotta tell y'all a story my friend told me. But you can't use this in a fic, bcuz I already am, on the Division board, it's just not written up. So, my friend Monica, she called her blonde friend Katie one day.
K: Hello?
M: Hey, Katie.
K: Oh, it's you. My finger hurts!!!
M: Why, what did ya do?
K: I jammed it.
M: How?
K: (Pause.) Now, promise not to laugh?
M: Umm... Okay?
K: I jammed it on a piece of paper. (Monica cracks up laughing.) It's not funny! I was crumpling up a piece of paper to throw it away, and I forgot my finger was in there! (Monica laughs more.) I'm gonna hang up on you!
M: Okay, okay, I'm sorry. (Convo goes on.)
(((next day)))
Nicole: (She's a brunette) Katie, what happened to your finger?
K: I got in a fight with Monica.
N: Yikes... (Monica has made 6 dents in the wall at their nearest bar.)
M: Actually... She jammed it on paper!
(Everyone starts laughing again.)

Well, did u like? hehee, I <3 that story! lolzies, Monica has 40 billion of em. Make the voices stop! No, they're hurting me! oh, and, "Hi, Katie! Katie! Katie my friend, yeah, she good friend!" She has done the craziest things so she wouldn't get caught skipping. Oh, btw, look for the post with all her stories in it on the Division fanfic, plz! nuff talking, I'm waaaayyyyyyy off topic! hehee, Susan should be proud! buh-byezies!

I am proud! Oh, tear, tear... lol, but seriously, back on topic, lol, dramas tend to be just more interesting than plain comedies, I found that FOL had an excellent mix of comedy and drama in each episode. Also, drama is easier to write than comedy. Certain situations make anyone sad for dramas, but comedy is very difficult. Either something is funny or it's not, there's no other interpretation. Take this from a person who's performed in many comedies, saying that line or making that joke so it hits the audience perfectly and makes them laugh is hard to do sometimes.

That is what I was going to say. I don't really write stories to make you laugh because I can't make myself laugh. It's to hard. But I don't like to write dramas either. My stories are kinda' in between.

Comedy is notoriously more difficult to write than drama. Especially when we're writing just for this stuff to be read, not seen. Probably has a lot to do with the fact that there is way more drama than comedy here.
