What's your favorite...?

[Alectix]

Ok...all of the following questions must relate to books or writing in some way. If not, then PLEASE don't ask.

Rules: You must answer the question above you, give your answer and then ask another question related to writing.

What's your favorite book?  

[Netaliya]

At the moment? I'm not sure. XD Dragon Sword and Wind Child?

Which author has influenced you the most?  

[Alectix]

Since Shadow didn't seem to ask another question...I'll answer yours, Lita and continue on ^^

Edgar Allen Poe or Anne Rice have been the two most influential authors upon me. I love both of their unique styles and the way their words just lure you in.

How long do you think it would take you to finish reading a book consisting of 500 pages?  

[Spreading The Word]

I would say around... 3 days. 2 if I had a good amount of free time. I is a fast reader! Oh, it had to be good or else I can't get into it or I'll stop reading half way through. sweatdrop

What is the craziest thing you do when writing or making a character for a story/novel?  

[Alectix]

...Hmm lol well if it's a male character...I'd um probably fantasize about being with him...or if it's a female, probably devising up ways to make her look absolutely ridiculous, hated, or tortured... (lol then again...you're asking this question while I'm in a quite evil mood :/ dunno)

What's your favorite work of literature that you've ever made? (Please post that here too? ^^ ((if it's too long, then an excerpt would be wonderful)))  

[Spreading The Word]

Okay. I have to post this. Some critic would be nice too, although I wrote it FOREVER ago! It's old, but at the time, when I wrote it, I thought it was the shiz. XD It hasn't been revised or anything since it first came out of my mind and I know it needs work. It's sorta like a rough draft for this big story I was writing. I had to have a journal for English class one year and this is the result:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCERPT:

I made my way through the crowd trying to get a look at what everyone was so riled about. I squeezed my way between men and women and even some children. Was it a parade? I started to grow excited. Maybe this could help me figure out where I was. The crowd seemed to be murmuring to themselves and then cheers and loud yells could be heard. It was hard to focus on what was being said until I found two of the women being particularly loud.

The first woman had long red hair, maybe in her mid 40's and was talking to a stout elderly woman holding a box of rotten tomatoes, "This will be the best thing to have happened in this town for years!," she screeched, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yes," The older woman had a raspy, almost spooky voice, "Let Satan's curse be gone."

Huh? Wait! What was going on?!? I started running toward the loudest part of the crowd and forced my way into it, paying no attention to the angry looks and curses I was receiving. Finally breaking through, I came face to face with a wooden stage, worn down with use. Standing a top was a man dressed in black, a hood covering his face, holding a rusty hatchet.

"An executioner..." I quietly mumbled, eyes wide with horror. I recognized the attire from an old video we watched in World Civ dealing with the dark ages. But why would I be here? In medieval times?!? I lived in the 21st century!

I whipped my head around to fully take in my surroundings from first waking up. It didn't really seem like Camelot or Robin Hood could ever be in this period.

The women dressed in a variety of clothing; unlike the video which mainly dealed with puffy skirts and corsets. Here, they wore short shorts, buckles, and fur vests...dresses or long layered robes.

I tried to put the pieces together but nothing fit. About to turn my attention back to the man standing around me, my thoughts were cut off as the executioner turned his attention toward me. Caution took over my senses and I took a step back. I had a sick feeling he was smiling.
