This recent discussion on Sandborn's/Uncle Fester's recent gift, the
'Dramatica-Writer's Dream Kit,' made me wonder, "What do the great writers
out there use to write with. And what do fanfic writers use?"

For my own writing, I almost always use ClarisWorks 3.0. And it works, er,
okay. (I don't have the money to buy some expensive program like Word 6.0?
And if I did, I would spend it on therapy. God, do I need therapy!) 

Well, word came with the computer..
Myself, I actually just use a plain text editor- makes for less of a mess
when formatting for email/www stuff...

Is there anybody out there crazy enough to still write out long hand? (You
know, on paper.) If there is, would you please tell me how you manage to
keep your sanity? I tried this once, and it nearly killed me! Seriously!
(Well, okay, not seriously. But it COULD happen!) 

*sweatdrop*
Well, I plan out certain scenes, or when i can't be at a computer, i use paper..
Still, using the computer is much nicer.

And, this being totally unrelated to the writing thing, do you guys buy,
rent, borrow, or steal you anime? This is totally off of curiosity, but
damn it, I gotta know? And if you buy it, how the hell do you afford it
all? Is there some 'Anime-Of-The-Month-Club' or something where you can
find outrageous deals on various Anime titles? 

Well, I don't have a lot of commercial tapes, considering I'm a student and
all... fansubs are more my thing.
Currently, about 360 ish tapes... Or more- haven't really counted, have a
few 12 tape trades going, etc...
