[Ducky]

Hm. First I must question myself to see if this is properly Tavernish. (gah, die me!)

Okay.



For the first..

1. What get you inspired to write a story?

Hm. Usually something that happens to me, that gets twisted into some odd shape. Or a dream, perhaps...maybe a movie I saw..

2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination? I write it before i post it, but then Its usually when I have some insane spurt of inspiration.

3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most? Tragedy. Don't know WHY. Some kind of drama. No romance, and my action doesn't work, and I'm not funny.

4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

...I don't know if its reality..my daydreams? Once in a while I do, but usally its daydreams I mix it with.

5. What brought you to the war tavern? I don't remember...

6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style? Yes. I'm too detailed to dragged on, or else too boring.

7. WHO'S DA MAN? Hm, good one. On here?

I'll get back to you on that.



Oh well.

1. What get you inspired to write a story?

My own thoughts, often ones of futility or depression. Emotion often feeds the plot, but once the emotion dies, the story is shot.

2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?

I plan sometimes.

3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?

Gothic or drama. Fight scenes appeal to me as well.

4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

Hey, that's what I do.

5. What brought you to the war tavern? Dethman's stories. He'll always be the best author in my mind.

6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style? I don't like my style at all. It seems to lack action and real depth.

7. WHO'S DA MAN? I dunno. *gets whacked*

[Tobias]

1. What get you inspired to write a story?

Believe it or not things out of nature anything as simple a bird landing upon a branch can lead to me going off and writing a story.

2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?

Let it come right out of the big box of insanity sitting on my shoulders.

3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?

Stories where something gone amiss in the space/time continueum. Or fantasy!

4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

Only thing I model based on ant bit of reality is my sense of humor I put it in any story I write. http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif

5. What brought you to the war tavern?

An insatiable desire to annoy all those who don't like anything I write and an insatiable desire to just write.

6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style?

Names and detail. I have trouble with both and usually just make up poor names and have little detail unless I really write hard.

7. WHO'S DA MAN?

<STRIKE> </STRIKE> Have your people contact my people.

[FreeLance57]

1. What get you inspired to write a story?

well, whenever I watch movies I always go off on their type of story. Like, when I got done watching Enemy of the State, I started writing the next conspiracy. But it's totally not at all how I had planned it.



Also music helps me a lot. Not lyrical stuff. Just instrumental soundtrack stuff.





2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?

I use both so often. Like with some of my Willet posts they were straight as I was thinking them. But right now I don't want to write anymore until me and gb talk where I can plan a good episode.





3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?

Not quite fantasy. Well, yes fantasy but not with a lot of magic and bahooga in it. Mostly just stories set in my own fantastic world I created over a year ago. Mayhap even two years.





4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

not at all. no. i don't think so.





5. What brought you to the war tavern?

6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style?

I, more often than none, just can't seem to place what i am thinking. it lies in my type of humour. the humourous image of willet ducking while tabris' bullet slammed into the man's head wasn't conveyed to the audience like it should've been.





7. WHO'S DA MAN?

Slayo is! (get's money from slayo) see? that's all he wanted you to say!

[Kovu aka Alec]

1. What get you inspired to write a story?

Random thoughts or images, I take the ones I like, and build the story so they happen.

2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?

I plan a begging and an end, and some stuff inbetween, then just let the rest flow.

3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?

Magical, kinda gothish stuff, oh, genras? Dramatic stuff, action, charachter dev., romance.

4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

Some, but not much.

5. What brought you to the war tavern?

I was at the JMMB, there was the Wart Tavern, and I liked writing stories.

6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style?

Oh, yea, it always sounds to distant, I can never bring the audience into the action, it

just seems...far away.

7. WHO'S DA MAN?

I DA MAN!

[Sakura]

1. What get you inspired to write a story?

Anything, mostly my own dark thoughts. I base things on my feelings.



2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?

Mostly I use my imagination.



3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?

Most times, it's about darkness and light. I'm very depressing sometimes.



4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

Yes. Sometimes, I use my dark side to write stories--and lots of times, those are the best (but not really the most appropriate, even tho there's no bad language or "bad" stuff.)



5. What brought you to the war tavern?

Myself. That's it.



6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style?

Yes. It's way, way too dark. I should lighten up, but apparently I'm not going to. And I overuse the word "infernal."



7. WHO'S DA MAN?

Probably El-ahrairah.

[Violet CLM]

1. What get you inspired to write a story?

Any number of things. Let the reader beware!



2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?

Either one. When I'm writing "A musical story" I just type the continuations, right there in the post message box, without copying them from anywhere. However, my one post stories I make up with my brother Me then post them. (After a little bit of remodeling)



3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?

COMEDY! COMEDY! YDEMOC!



4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

Reality? What's that?



5. What brought you to the war tavern?

Either DSL or a dial up. Can't remember which.



6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style?

I use too many "."s, and not enough ","s.



7. WHO'S DA MAN?

Mr. Magoo! Got Magoo?



(Was hoping for more questions)

[Rumbo Rabbit]

Okay, here goes:

1. What gets you inspired to write a story?

- My own imagination, which gives me all my ideas and throws them into my thoughts.

2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?

- Sometimes, but it depends what happens at the moment you're writing it, say you think of something really good that might interest the reader.

3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?

- Fantasy, Action and Adventure! I tend to avoid magic and things like that when it comes to fantasy. I also like to write about the future.

4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

- Not my reality, but some ideas that I come up with are linked to global warming and things that will happen on Earth's future. I also seem to like the idea of Time a lot, as you know...

5. What brought you to the war tavern?

- Many years ago, whilst playing Jazz2, I heard of Jazz2City and heard of the war tavern throuhg browsing...

6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style

- I hate my own writing as I always think its rubbish. Then again its not for me to decide, its up to the audience, which is probably why i become so popular http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

7. WHO'S DA MAN?

- Stephen King, the best author in the world. But in here its gotta be Talec, hes da man of TIME travel (well he was http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif)

[Batty Buddy]

Que Passa!!!!



1. What get you inspired to write a story?



I hope and pray to someday be a cartoonist, and one of the things we comic artists need to do is be able to come up with stories. I tend to see my war tavern stories in comic book form, and I try my best to describe them.



2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happend or do you just let a story flow right out of your imagination?



It all depends on the stories. Sometimes I imagine myself in the position of one of the main charicters in the story, and then do what I would have done. Other times, I actually dream up situations in my sleep.



3. What kind of stuff do you like to write the most?



In the war tavern, I get a REAL thrill with writing my Spaz stories, in which Spaz is the hero. I also had fun writting my Jazz Jackrabbit/Snooze and Mat amalgam stories. Outside the war tavern, I tend to write stories about Gargoyals, Bats, Sloths, Foxes, Dingos, etc. I even created a few stories that spawned new charicters, like 'Sue and Louie, the heartwarming tale of a ladybug and spider in love', and 'The adventures of Lubbo the Leech'. I am also currently working on a book I hope to publish called "Bad-time stories" involving truely messed-up faerie tales.



4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?



Yes. All my charicters are based on me and how I would deal with situations had I the time, and courage to do what they do. Spaz kinda reminds me of myself as well.



5. What brought you to the war tavern?



When I first logged on to JMMB, I wanted to do something special for a first impression. I created "The Story of Devan Shell."



6. Is there something your not satisfied about in your writing style?



Yeah, sometimes my train of thought takes a pit stop, and it takes a while to get it to start again.



7. WHO'S DA MAN?



I'S DA MAN!!!

[Coppertop]

Uh. . . does this include me? I guess so, I'm writing a story. . .



1. What gets you inspired to write?

I dunno. Sometimes I read a book and create situations with a character and later use the situation in a chapter, or I'll wake up in the morning with a great idea in my head. . .

2. Do you plan ahead what is going to happen or do you just let a story flow out of your imagination?

Sometimes I'll write out a plan for a chapter, but more often than not I sit down, get offline and simply write.

3. What kind of stuff do you like to write most?

Mostly action, sf and fantasy. Not romance or the like, but I like to write practically anything so long as I can make it up.

4. Do you like to mix a story with your own reality?

Not usually. Actually, I try to stay as far away from that sort of thing as I can, as it usually gets me depressed.

5. What brought you to the War Tavern?

When I first got on the JMMB the first thing I saw WAS the War Tav. So I clicked, I read, and here I am. . .

6. Is there something you're not satisfied with in your writing style?

Usually my wording. I'll write a part and then the next day read it over and shake my head at the phrasing. I like conjuring up images with words, and if it doesn't do that to me I'm not satisfied.

7. WHO'S DA MAN?

*thinks hard* It's in there somewhere, just gotta find it. . .
