After BOS wouldn't let me for the 10th time to upload my Short Story and Reflectionness I found some place to upload it and here it is....

Oh my god, compared with Ninja's it's so plain, so simple.... and now mine feels contrived :|

Um it's derived from many genres... which makes it weird
I think I also left bits slightly too late - never do three major works if you commute 3 hours to school ^_^

To Tear Parachutes
by 17183664...includes Reflection Statement.

Short Story: Echoes of a Forgotten Fate

(Kept on wanting to call it forbidden fate and so much so that I wrote it accidentally on the card and had to cross it out o_O)
http://www.digitalskies.net/school/18-08-06-Echoes of a Forgotten Fate.doc
http://www.digitalskies.net/school/19-08-06-reflection statement.doc

I did a fantasy/sci-fi mix... don't think it turned out too great in terms of concept - time travel? Pftt. And those probably aren't the final versions but I can't be bothered reuploading what's in my email.

You Tube - ing short films or video edits

Both Bored of Studies and You tube offer something that its about time us Film makers, at least for ex2, had: A place to Share.
I know some people have you tubed there short films or edits, but to get a firmer understanding about what others are doing, how they are doing it, or how it turned out, I strongly recomend ex2'ers to youtube their experience. Unless you bothered about people stealing your ideas etc, I think its a wonderful place for feedback, tips, or just general comments.
If your short film is you tubed please post a link or the title here, or just make a comment about someone elses, it makes the standard higher and the game more exciting. Have fun!

ps my film was called 'A Comic Idea', so you can search for that if you want.

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHA i think i may be the first person in my situation here so read on to feel better about your work!

I actually did not get to finish my MW :( i am a 1000 words and a denouement short for my short story (not to mention the final editing and structure due to the postmodern conventions). what's more for my reflection statement i've just reworded my report to get rid of all the references to my school and teachers. plus i was in such a rush that i typed in the wrong file name for this

I decided to do a complete 360 on my approach and structure of my MW the day before it was due and i guess my rushed attempts to complete my magnum opus *cough* in such a short time span was my downfall. note to any prelim-ers and younger reading this ALWAYS ... TRY ... TO ... FINISH ... THE MW ... TWO DAYS BEFORE IT IS DUE!!! that's what my mentor and teachers told me but i didn't listen so i paid the price.

having said that, my MW is at least readable so i'm posting it up. i want to finish it off when the hsc is over (i'm guessing i still need another week maybe to completely polish it :eek:) when i won't be under so much stress. i guess if i told you guys i'm insomniac would just be a desperate plea for sympathy, so save those comforting emoticons :rofl:

i'd like to take the opportunity to thank my parents, teachers, the english extension two mods (particularly glitterfairy and jhakka .. um there were more last year that have seemed to disappear since), my mentor, friends and family, jessica alba, the producer of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25anhDOoKaA and NESCAFÉ GOLD Decaffeinated for seeing me through this difficult perioid. what? i only want an academy-award winning speech for being the most obstinate, overindulgent EE2 student within two metres of my computer :p

edited PM me if you want to read it !

Bloody oath bobness, you ban yourself from BOS and like... you still didn't get it done? REgardless what I did read when you circulated your work to 29539539 Asians, I found it very enjoyable. Lots of love from me the llama.
I also extend an awesome thanks to glitterfairy who in the waning hours of the day before it was due, helped me wtih reflection.
