# About me
Thanks for visiting my page! At the moment I'm focusing a lot on six-word stories but I have a few (longer) short stories on the horizon and am trying to keep a steady stream of poems coming. Constructive criticism is welcomed on all my work as I feel it can only help me improve. At the moment I'm looking at the use of metaphors in poems.Also:
- I only favourite art that I genuinely love. I don't favourite because I know/like the artist or they've favourited a piece of mine.
- I sometimes comment without favouriting. I'm happy for others to do the same. I'd rather have a detailed comment than a favourite any day.
- I sometimes favourite without commenting. If I do this it's because I can't think of anything detailed to say - I don't see the point of commenting just to say I like it. I just love the art and want to be able to view it again easily and share it with others.
TV/music/games that I love:
- Doctor Who
- The Legend of Zelda
- Metroid
- Mario
- Doctor Horrible
- How I Met Your Mother
- Green Day
- Linkin Park
- Show of Hands
- Muse
- The War of the Worlds
- James Bond
- Star Wars
- The Lord of the Rings
Also:
The lovely MaddyJordan kindly made both my icon and lit bar for me. She also has some absolutely amazing photos and poetry in her gallery. Go check it out - especially if you're looking for icons/lit bars, I'd highly recommend her!
The fabulous thorns donated me six months of premium membership so go show her some love!
Finally:
I'm very proud to have been made a co-founder for . Six word stories do exactly as the name implies. There's some absolutely fantastic stuff already in the gallery and we've got prompts, competitions and projects to keep the good work coming! Plus, free s to everyone who joins!

Heheh, thank you. It was beautiful and somehow the weather held out (sunshine in England in March, who'd have thought it?)
How's life treating you, anyway?

I know, you were gambling with the weather gods! Dangerous stuff!
Ah, life. An odd mix of academic panic and giddy spring feelings - so I take the good with the bad, I suppose!
Besides the vows, what's new on your end? You've been so quiet on here!

Zophirus In reply to jenniology [2012-04-04 09:45:05 +0000 UTC]
Academic panic? Any particular cause?
Umm, well I've been really busy with work so I took a break from dA - I'm not really on here much even though things have quietened down at work since I know it's about to flare back up again.

Oh, you know, the foolishness of undertaking a two year MSc under particularly demanding people is starting to dawn upon me. That sort of thing. (also, ten deadlines in the next six weeks is making me hyperventilate...)
Well, I hope you resurface at some point - I miss reading your stuff!

You're welcome. Birthday going well?
Busy! Writing, beta reading, working on #Beta-Readers and my #FocusOnLit grouping. The usual.

My birthday was good fun, some friends were getting married yesterday and they had a barn dance at the reception ^_^
Haha, busy definitely seems to be your usual from what I've seen

thorns In reply to Zophirus [2011-06-05 14:52:14 +0000 UTC]
A barn dance? What's that like?
It is. One of these days I'm going to pick a day and simply be not busy the whole day. (Just as soon as a I figure out what a not busy person does.)

Zophirus In reply to thorns [2011-06-06 08:34:00 +0000 UTC]
Well, it's co-ordinated group dancing to traditional music (this particular music was primarily played on the accordion), with a person at the front calling out the instructions for people (like me) who don't know what they're doing. Lots of swinging your partner 'round and 'round
I think "not busy" people do whatever they enjoy doing, rather than whatever they're expected/required to do. So I used to play video games, read, write or play the guitar. I intend to do lots of that once this assessment is finished and my funding is extended for another year and a half.

Thank you! I shall indeed have a merry un-birthday tomorrow
Also, how long has that quote been in your signature? Because it's brilliant and so, so true

Any time. Thanks for the points. I'm not on dA much at the moment but if you link me to a piece you'd like some critique on I'd be happy to provide (eventually...)

Oh thanks Although I'm not a premium member so I can't turn on critiques... but you're welcome to leave me your thoughts on this [link] if you like? Or anything really, I'd be happy to hear what you thought of any of my works

Thanks for the fave on my poem "Repairing My Heart"
Can I ask what you liked about it?

Zophirus In reply to WRITERandPOET [2011-03-04 10:10:27 +0000 UTC]
Wow, that's a trippy la...
Actually, I've only read the preview and was bookmarking it to read fully later I love the metaphor of him carrying your broken heart in his pocket, though. That was really what sparked my interest.

Sorry, I was actually just bookmarking it so I can quickly navigate to it and give it a read. I'll be sure to comment once I've actually read it though

Okay, I understand. Thanks!
