A
Q: What exactly is 'The Author Pairs Movement'
A: 'The Author Pairs Movement' otherwise known as the TAPM is a place where authors to come and look for an other similiar to them in level and genre and pair up with them to write a poem, song, short story, chapter story, etc.
Q: So...how are they paired up with their match?
A: Well first the TAPM managers view the forms that authors have filled out, and judging by the quality of the sample story (poem, song, etc) and the type of genre they like, the TAPM managers will pair them up with someone who is on the same level and likes the same genre.
Q: So, in the forms, do you have to give out any real information..like last name, address, email...you know, stuff you could track me down with?
A: Nope! You just have to give out your name (first name only) or your nickname, a sample story (song, poem, etc.), and likes and dislikes!

Name:Dawnpaw
If you don't know what a flareon is, it's a very furry catlike creature.(A pokemon)
There was a small clearing. Not big, just big enough for a body to be laying in it. There was,actually. In the middle was a Flareon. He was unconsious, but he probably thought he was dead. He opened his green eyes and glanced around. "Hm?" He got up on wobbly paws.
Why am I standing on all fours?
The Flareon tried to get up on his hind legs, but it felt awkward. He fell forward.
Am I...Dead? Oh of course you are... But why do I feel so strange?
He finally looked down at himself.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
He had paws! And a bushy tail!
Am I a cat?
Then he heard a voice.
"Finally you woke up! You was lying on the ground all dead-like!"
Then out of a tree came the strangest creature the Flareon had ever seen. The bottom of it looked like an eggshell with strange markings. It was white and had small legs, wings and arms. It also had a longish neck with a smiling, spiked head.
"My name's Tara Togetic! Nice t'meet ya!"
I like fantasy stories.

What I posted is a little bit of a prolouge of a story I'm making, okay?
(September 25, 2009 - 8:39 pm)
Whoops! i didn't see that this is closed...Forget my last posts, okay?
(September 26, 2009 - 7:57 am)
It's fine Dawnpaw.
Just saying though,
This is CLOSED!
I simply don't have time. Nor may anybody else continue this in my place.
(September 26, 2009 - 9:29 am)
Um, guys, I don't think GloWorm is doing this anymore.
(September 26, 2009 - 2:25 pm)
Why couldn't anyone continue this in your place? I don't see why not. You can't do it, but people enjoy it, so if someone does have enough time, why not? Maybe it could be a summer thing? Someone could pair people up in the summer, and for the rest of the year, they could just coordinate things themselves.
(September 26, 2009 - 5:54 pm)
Weeeeeelllll......
Maybe we could make a new thread? That may work... But I would like someone to judge my story...
(September 27, 2009 - 10:06 am)
I'll think about it Emma, but as right now it's closed. :) It just became too much, so if I do another one I will have slots of 10 or 20.

We must continue this thread! I will do the pairing, all right?
Now for me. My name is Mango, my favorite genre is adventure/ fantasy, and interesting things about me are: I like Pokemon, reading, Warriors, roleplays, and computers. A sample (part of a) story is:
They ran over to the open door. Nothing seemed different- on the outside, that is. They peered inside and, after some hesitation, walked inside. Then they gasped. Everything was smashed and overturned. Plates and cups were scattered all over the floor. Tables and chaires had been cracked in half. And then they froze. For in the middle of it all was a ghost.
I know- I'm obsessed with cliff-hangers:)

Song, Poem, or Story sample:
Keyboard
-----------------------
The keyboard
is charcoal black
i can never write on it
because
every time I stare at the keys
qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvv
they look like a story
but
all i can ever think of
is qwertyuiop
-----------------------------------
It isn't my best, because as I mentioned, I have problems with keyboard. Oh yeah, my favorite genre is fantasy.

Sample:
sun shining brightly
with a
cool breeze
blowing over the marsh grass
little crabs scuttle into their holes
because
my dad and i are coming
in our big red canoe
and we're taking it across the creek, leaving nothing
but
ripples
in
the
water
