Thanks so much for your message I really appreciate it!
The fan fiction I write using the following characters.  Now, I must say
that I'm a big Disney fan.  Not of everything, mainly these movies:
The Lion King, Pocahontas, Beauty and the beast though I don't have any
fanfiction for that one, Mulan also I don't have fanfiction and many others.
I'd have to say that Pocahontas and the Lion King are my favorites to play
around with writing wise. 
I also love the musical wicked and have several fan fictions about the
characters in that musical.  Other favorite musicals include Rent, The Lion
King, a little known one called aida and random songs from others. 
If anyone is interested in reading any of these, let me know.  I also have
an original piece of work called, "Eb tide."  Although, I'm not sure about
posting it as it contains a sex scene.  I could post it with out the sexual
parts.

Tessa,

Welcome to Stylist. I'm the editor of Slate & Style, a writing magazine of
NFB Writers' division. We publish literary writing along with articles
discussing various writing forms. If interested in submitting, check our
submission guidelines on the division website, or you can make an email
request to me.

I actually placed a writing exercise a few months ago asking Stylist members
to write fan fiction, but I think it was a new genre for some, so perhaps
you can give more details on fan fiction and even post a portion of your own
fan fiction.

Stylist can be a great resource. Among other things, we discuss writing and
related topics. This can be fiction, genre fiction, poetry, creative
nonfiction, public relations writing, technical writing, advertising,
journalism, and the list goes on.

I would say Stylist members are predominantly literary writers, but we vary
in the type of literature we write.

We also use Stylist to post our own original work for others to read and
critique. Receiving feedback on our work is a vital part to the writing
process. Some of us write for fun, some professionally, some have studied
writing, some have taught it, some are published, some are attempting
publication-- we come from all walks of life with various backgrounds, so we
can provide a varied view with feedback, which is great.

I'm 32 and live in Omaha, Nebraska with my husband, Ross, our
seven-month-old son, Declan, and we have a niece who is like a daughter,
Penny, who is three. Ross works full-time and is pursuing a masters in
computer science. I was ready for grad school for creative writing, then I
got pregnant, grin. So I'm reveling in mommyhood right now as a stay-at-home
mom, but I continue to write, and as I said above, I also edit the
division's magazine.

I have a BFA in creative writing. I studied fiction, but my emphasis was
creative nonfiction, which is essentially memoir writing and personal
essays. I had a blog for Live Well Nebraska, a website of the Omaha World
Herald, but in January I left because of creative differences.

April is poetry month, so we have been discussing poetry an members have
been sharing poems.

We try to do monthly writing exercises and have discussions on different
topics, but as anything, sometimes the list is busier and other times it can
be quiet. Nonetheless, you have found a community of writers with varied
backgrounds, and if no one is able to act as a personal writing pal, you
always have the list to post material on for review and discussion.

Welcome.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter, editor, Slate & Style

Hello all!

I have just joined this list after a person on the writers-chat pointed it
out to me.  I'm excited for what I can learn on this list to help with my
own writing.  I would really love someone to write stories or exchange ideas
with.  It is true I posted this request on the writers-chat list, but I was
informed that it may've been the wrong list to post it on.  That explains
why I haven't heard from anyone lol! 

My name is Tessa and I am seeking a writing partner; someone to write with
for fun and of course I am open to other aspirations.  Someone to exchange
story ideas, plots, character development and even create a story together. 

Genres that I am good at writing for are romance, drama, crime, angst and
Christian writing is something I'd like to try. 

I started writing about ten years ago using a sect of writing called fan
fiction.  That is a sect that you take characters from existing TV shows,
movies, books and musicals and you write stories based on those characters
from the book, TV show. etc. 

My strong suit is character development, plot ideas along with dialogue and
I'm sure others however I cannot think of them at the moment lol.

If anyone is interested, please feel free to contact me.

A bit about me: I'm 28, blind and I live in Florida.  I work at a medical
office a job I am very blessed to have and that I love.  I'm a pretty laid
back person.  Would for sure love someone to write with and motivate one
another. 

I look forward and hope to hear from you,

Have a great day and God bless,

Tessa
