3) Over how many years does your story span? um, i think that it's only going to be one day althoug there will be flashbacks
4) How many characters die? um, none i think. though a brother of one of the characters died in the past so i don't know if that counts.
5) What was the previous name for your story? Emulsions
6) How many main characters have you utilised? Three.
7) How many sub characters have you utilised? None?

9) Does your story take place in both night and day? Nope.
10) Have you used any of the five following words in your story: subtle, invisible, gigantic, stubble, morbid. not yet, but there's always room for inspiration. i'll probably end up using subtle, invisible and morbid though.

Time for new questions.
But no. No new questions for you. Time for someone else, meaning anyone, to ask some questions. Some examples not to use include;
1) Why does my printer smell like effluent?
2) That cat is pregnant, but why and when and how?
3) Dairy cows are planning to kill us all. Discuss this statement drawing on your knowledge of TWO of your prescribed texts, and ONE of your own choosing. You should allow 45 minutes for this section.

What triggered the inspiration for the storyline of your short story?
Would you ever consider doing a short film or screenplay of your short story?
Does anyone like T.S. Elliot? (irrelevent but I can't think of anymore and I like things in threes)

2) That cat is pregnant, but why and when and how? did you never get the 'birds and the bees' talk?
3) Dairy cows are planning to kill us all. Discuss this statement drawing on your knowledge of TWO of your prescribed texts, and ONE of your own choosing.

4)What triggered the inspiration for the storyline of your short story?another short story i read. I would really like to find something creative to say but alas no.
5)Would you ever consider doing a short film or screenplay of your short story? perhaps. it has sort of already been done though. i do plan on writing a collection of stories along the same theme and then publishing them one day though.
6)Does anyone like T.S. Elliot? I can't say i know him personally
And now for my own questions....
* Imagine you are your main character. What flavour of ice cream would you choose and why?
* What social group at school would your main chatacer fit into?

2) the creative yet depressive people

1) Why does my printer smell like effluent? Don't worry, most printers smell like that. I think it's a way of reminding us that we are killing a tree every time we print a page. Or something like that.
2) That cat is pregnant, but why and when and how? *That* particular cat? That's odd, I always thought it was a male...
3) Dairy cows are planning to kill us all. Discuss this statement drawing on your knowledge of TWO of your prescribed texts, and ONE of your own choosing. You should allow 45 minutes for this section. Only 45 minutes? But it's such a broad topic. Or are we only discussing the local dairy cows? Because I heard that the dairy cows over in Europe have already started stock-piling weapons.
4)What triggered the inspiration for the storyline of your short story? Not sure, I was just sitting there one day and all of a sudden I had an epiphany. Actually, I think it was from sitting there staring at my journal thinking, 'I should be writing something right now.'
5)Would you ever consider doing a short film or screenplay of your short story? Nah, I'm too lazy.
6)Does anyone like T.S. Elliot? I'm sure someone does, somewhere.
Imagine you are your main character. What flavour of ice cream would you choose and why?
Chocolate, because that's the only good flavour of ice-cream.
What social group at school would your main chatacer fit into?
Teh like, totally cool peeps. Nah, my character is too cool for school.

What triggered the inspiration for the storyline of your short story?
A Stephen Sewell play and a poem of a similar name.
Would you ever consider doing a short film or screenplay of your short story?
No.
Does anyone like T.S. Elliot? (irrelevent but I can't think of anymore and I like things in threes)
To go against the grain, I'll just say I do.
Some of the other projects appear to be very well conceived. I should really get onto drafting.

Imagine you are your main character. What flavour of ice cream would you choose and why?
One would like green-tea ice cream, because green tea is healthy and he likes green tea (strange, strange person, though grean tea ice cream is very nice). One wouldn't like ice cream because it doesn't know what ice cream is. And the other would probably like something sickly sweet, because everything else in her life is dark and horrible.
What social group at school would your main chatacer fit into?
One would be among the quiet, studious lot; the other would be one of the artsy, sagely students who everyone went to for advice; and the last would be the reject and/or outcast of the school who everyone hates.

TS Elliot is a poet by the way.
He wrote The Wasteland, so if you're familiar with Joseph Conrad's The Heart Of Darkness, it was inspired by that poem.
....I like him, I think his poetry is good, for once, unlike Szckenecki who we've deemed "Emo"... (but thats avoiding the context in which he wrote his poems)
Oh another question
"If your story involves death, does their death involve any of your own experiences with death?"
