Snow Day [17 Aug 2007|07:46pm]
Well, I was annoyed by all the hot weather we were having and decided to write something "cool". Another challenge fic for [info]50_shinobi.

Genre - humor/mystery; one-shot
Rating - PG for mild language... I think...
Fanbase - Naruto; pre-series
Summary - Snow in the Land of Fire is very rare, so maybe it's not too hard to imagine the almost unheard of event reducing ninja killers to immature children having a field day in the snow.

Lady Killer [02 May 2007|10:02pm]
One-shot. All good humor in one condensed six-page sitting. It is, of course, Winters style humor, which basically means... well, I find it amusing. Obviously. Anyway, if you've got a few minutes, give it a read. I have it on good authority by someone who doesn't even know the characters that it's good and has good character development. So... Yeah, read.

On a side note... I wrote this for the community [info]50_shinobi. So... expect more in the near future.


Genre - Humor
Rating - PG, for almost nakedness.
Fanbase - Naruto
Summary - The Yellow Flash is late for a meeting with his team. The two Genin and one Chuunin decide to go see just what their sensei is up to at Masaki's cafe.

The Mirror of Concinere [07 Jan 2007|01:23am]
This story... was an idea of my friend, Stacey's. We thought it would be fun to write a story together... but we weren't very good at starting it. But it's a really good idea! And I still hope to do more of the story! Anyway, I was looking at it tonight and decided on the next part. So I'm gonna post it here and hopefully Stacey will see it and comment on it and tell me how she likes... The First Chapter! (Alright, so it's a lamely short first chapter, but I think they'll get longer as we go along...)

Anyway... it's a really cool idea, though! Put together by the both of us! So, if you like Harry Potter, then read it! It'll have... pretty much every genre, I think. From what we have planned out. Probably not so much horror, since I stink at writing horror. But just about everything else! Later!


Genre- I don't know yet... we'll put "general" for now.
Rating- T / PG-13
Fanbase- Harry Potter
Summary- A mirror at Bill (it is, Bill, isn't it?) and Fleur's wedding causes more trouble than anyone ever could have expected for the Boy-Who-Lived. (Not the greatest summary but I don't want to say too much!)

Chapter 1 )



Well... I think it's pretty good. I think I did a decent job of characterization... keeping in mind that I've only done a HP crossovers before... that haven't really focused too much on the Potter-gumi. But, yeah... Stacey especially should tell me what she thinks. Or if I messed up somewhere (because I wouldn't be surprised if I did seeing as how it's so late and I didn't check many facts...) or just if she (or anyone else) has any suggestions for me...

Cursed Fruit [10 Aug 2006|01:58pm]
[ mood | artistic ]

I was fiddling around with this a little--actually, I was thinking of drawing a graphic novel based on it--and I noticed it was actually (gasps) finished! So I thought I might as well post the last couple of chapters. I think it's good. Has a happy (sort of) ending. After getting worse. Although it might be a little predictable. Or not. I don't know. Depends what you predict.


Genre- Horror
Rating- T / PG-13 / whatever you want to call it when it's inappropriate for younglings to read.
Fanbase- none. It's an original work.
Summary- Jonathen Drowe is a detective. When he finds a boy named Banan by the river, he finds more trouble than he ever could have imagined. I can't say much more without giving anything away.

Chapter 3 )

So... let me know what you think... if anyone actually reads this.
And on a side note, if you're interested in reading this but haven't read the previous chapters just scroll down to the entries with "Cursed Fruit" in the heading. You'll find the previous chapters there. We're a grand total of 16 pages for the entire 6 chapters, in case you were wondering. Shortest story I ever wrote (that wasn't one-shot).

Reborn Demon [19 Apr 2006|09:45pm]
Genre- Humor/parady/something else but I'm not sure what
Rating- PG
Fanbase- Harry Potter/Yu Yu Hakusho crossover (Yes, I had to do it.)
Summary- HP/YYH crossover, as stated above. Set end of series for Yu Yu Hakusho (Yusuke, Kuwabara = 16, Kurama, Hiei, Yukina = 17) and... end of series of Harry Potter (that is to say, after Harry's sixth year). It's AU, sort of, I'm keeping to the events that I know happened in the YYH universe, but I haven't seen the whole series so I may contradict a thing or two. Same with Harry Potter, I'm trying to keep to the books, but I KNOW this isn't how the next book's going to go. So, it's AU. Slightly.

Anyway, Hogwarts has remained open and Professor McGonagall has accepted the position of Headmistress (she's still the transfiguration teacher... not sure if that's allowed, but it is in this story.), Harry, Hermione, and Ron have decided to finish their last year at Hogwarts for reasons untold (maybe I'll make something up later). Well, it's really a good thing they did because Genkai (and Yusuke, and Kuwabara, and Kurama, and Hiei, and Yukina) are coming to Hogwarts and they have some important information for the boy who lived.

I wrote this because of all the stupid hp/yyh stories out there and I really wanted to see a good one. I think this is a good one. So, please let me know what you think.


EXTRA: Significant point to notice in this chapter... I actually went to the effort of creating a sorting hat song. Maybe not the best. But it talks about the four houses. And weird things that hats shouldn't know. So there. Enjoy!

The "sequel" to one that doesn't really have a title [26 Dec 2005|05:56pm]
[ mood | amused ]

Genre- Drama
Rating- G
Fanbase- The Bible
Summary- Just in time for Christmas (er, a day late, I guess, which doesn't really matter since Jesus wasn't really born on Christmas...) here it is in full technicolor (if black and white print can be considered technicolor), the birth of the Babe himself! And by that I mean Jesus. The Savior. The Christ. Whatever you want to call him, that's it. Although the kid himself really only comes into the last few paragraphs. This is the story of the shepherds: Ezekiel, Zachariah, Aaron, and Simon, their encounter with the Heavenly Host and subsequent sojourn to the nearby town of Bethelehem. Written similarly to the story of Mary, her visit with Elizabeth, and subsequent chat and near-divorcal with Joseph. I was inspired to write this during our Christmas Eve service at Church. So, here it is.

The Shepherds' Story )

Hope you liked it. Tell me what you think.

Through the Woods [10 Dec 2005|07:12pm]
[ mood | busy ]

Wow, it's been a while. I've been busy with school and stuff. Ugh. But I've got a new story. It's almost done. About a chapter and a half left, I think. It's good. In my opinion. An interesting topic that no one has chosen to explore but in all rights should.


Genre- Horror/tragedy
Fanbase- Harry Potter
Rating- PG-13
Summary- It's three years after Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort. Voldemort possessed Professor Quirell sometime before Harry's first year at school, but what about before that? Nyles, an eight year old wizard forced to live with his eccentric grandfather in the middle of a dark forest, holds the answer to some of that.

Chapter 1 )

Well.... that was fun.

Stones [22 Sep 2005|07:33pm]
Genre- Uh... Drama. I think.
Fanbase- None!
Rating- mildly PG-13
Summary- Alright, this is the story of the boy who was previously known as Victor Trump. From a small town in Arizona, Victor didn't have any idea that a small stone would end up starting all kinds of trouble for him. In the Previous chapter we met Jamie and Kale. In this chapter... enter... everybody! It's chapter 1!



Chapter 1 )



... So... you want to tell me how you liked this one and chapter two... yes? Yes...

[ mood | Monsters ate my head... ]

Genre- Uh... Drama. I think.
Fanbase- None!
Rating- PG-13 (lowish?)
Summary- Alright, this is the story of the boy who was previously known as Victor Trump. From a small town in Arizona, Victor didn't have any idea that a small stone would end up starting all kinds of trouble for him. In the Previous chapter we met Jamie and Kale. In this chapter... enter Ed! The certifiably insane! And... Canada! And me not being entirely sure how I want this story to end...

Chapter 2 )

Alright, I was just kind of bored. So I was looking at this story. And noticed that I had indeed finished the second chapter. So I decided to post it. So here it is. The first chapter is in my other livejournal. I'll post it here sometime when I get around to it. Which could very well be much, much later. I have practically no free time. I'm living on borrowed time. Borrowed time that I should be using to do my homework. Luckily I have several excuses about why I can't do it right now. So that's all good. But I really need my last text book to come in. Now.

I updated my webpage, for anyone who wants to take a look at the stories there. There are some good ones. My M.E. story is finally finished. Compeletely. As in, I will never look at it again for fear that my eyes will melt out of their sockets. (It was good at the time, but not up to my standards anymore. Specifically in the 'uniqueness/plot' aspect.) It'll be the last time for a LONG while that it's updated again. Because I don't know when I'll ever find time to do the things I want to ever again. So enjoy it while you can. Later.

Heir to the Empire [03 Aug 2005|05:53pm]
[ mood | Star Wars! ]

Er... I know I said I was going to finish up that other story really quickly, but... Things happened that are beyond my control. Let's see... Oh, yeah, it all started with iharthdarth. Then I decided to read a little bit of Star Wars fanfiction. Then I decided I really wanted to work on my own Star Wars fanfiction that has been on my computer for... a while. So, that and working and finishing The Chamber of Secrets are my excuse for this.

Genre- General
Rating- PG
Fanbase- Star Wars
Summary- Takes place after RotJ. Emperor Palpatine is on Byss and anyway... in a comic book that I read about this planet the author suggested that Palpatine had hundreds of clones of himself there and when the Force wore down one body, he could abandon it and take over another of the bodies. I'm going off that idea, the Emperor is currently inhabiting one of his clones.
Anyway, in this story, two Force sensitive teenagers from earth (And really, why not?), are abducted by said Emperor-clone to become his new apprentices. It's told in a first person point of view, which may bug some people, but I mostly did that to challenge myself in a new style of writing. The first chapter is in Aedre's POV, and the second is in Holt's (mostly). Here's the first chapter.

Chapter 1 )

I dunno. Maybe you guys will like it more than the other one, anyway.

Cursed Fruit [27 Jul 2005|09:39pm]
[ mood | curious ]

Here's the second chapter. It's a bit shorter than the first... Like I said, it's going to be a short story. I'd be surprised if I broke 20 pages with all the chapters together. Um... there's a bit of gore in this chapter, I guess. Not too much detail... I think... but it can only get worse. Probably not too much worse, just more of it in later chapters.

Genre- Horror
Rating- T / PG-13 / whatever you want to call it when it's inappropriate for younglings to read.
Fanbase- none. It's an original work.
Summary- Jonathen Drowe is a detective. When he finds a boy named Banan by the river, he finds more trouble than he ever could have imagined. I can't say much more without giving anything away.

Chapter 2 )
So... What do you think is going to happen? If you can guess yet. That would be fun for me to know. And, of course, whether or not anyone likes it. Yeah... I don't usually do stories like this, so it's interesting for me. And it's short enough that I'm sure I'm going to see it through to the end which is fun. Hope someone gets some mild form of amusement out of it...

This is an experiment into something a little different. Okay, something a lot different, especially from the works I have up here so far. Well, I felt like writing something like I haven't ever written before. And I've never written a horror story before. It'll be short, and probably finished in a week or two.

Prologue )


Chapter 1 )

Well, I think it's sufficiently creepy. Well, for the first chapter. I'm guesstimating that it'll be around 5 chapters long. And they're short chapters at that. I'm really determined to keep it at "short story" length rather than the ridiculous "novel" length that I usually accidently create. Because I just don't have the attention span to see a novel through... at least not for a while. It's probably good that I'm not professional.

Hope it appeals to somebody. Hopefully I'll be able to surprise you, but the things that I have planned don't surprise me at all. That may just be because I'm me and can see only on way this story can progress... Okay, so there are many ways I can see it go, but there's only one "correct" way for me to write it. Yeah, that's it. It's getting late, though, so I'll have to work on this more tomorrow.

Um... Doesn't Really Have a Title... [14 Jul 2005|10:46am]
[ mood | amused ]

Something I wrote earlier this summer, I think. I saw it's file on my computer yesterday and I thought "what in the world is that??" So I looked at it and it was this. I enjoyed writing it. I enjoy reading it. I just plain enjoy it. It's a complete story in and of itself, no multiple chapters on this one. But I might write more like it one day.

Genre- General...
Rating- G-PG. Probably just G.
Fanbase- The Bible (I guess I don't really think of that as a fanbase, but...)
Summary- It's just a not-so-well-know part of a well-known story that I embelished on in a way that amused me. It's kind of meant to be both serious and humorous at the same time. I have taken several creative liberties. (Such as starting the story on a train. Everyone knows there weren't trains back then, right?) But for the most part I think a lot of it could have happened something like this. Just adding a bit of a human-factor to the story.

Mary's Story )
So was it alright? The beginning was kind of partly based on a dream I had. Kind of. A little bit. Which is why Israel now has trains. See ya.

Biting the Bullet [13 Jul 2005|05:07pm]
It was about time I updated again, so I have another chapter of this to post. Seeing as how I have at least 5, I think, typed out right now. I actually move the plot forward a little more. Which is good. You guys can point out any mistakes you find, if you want, or just tell me how you like it.

Genre- Drama/Adventure? A little romance later...
Rating- PG (It could almost be G except for the language and violence on second thought, maybe not...)
Fanbase- Final Fantasy VIII
Summary- Lark Raven Till was your average sixteen year old fangirl. She played RPGs only to swoon over the main character (although she’d never admit it) and absolutely adored Orlando Bloom (who she claimed was way overrated). She spent hours on her computer typing up her fantasies and reading other peoples and she dreamt about the next game, movie, or manga she’d be able to buy.
At least, that’s how she’d always been before that fateful day—the day her whole life drastically changed. She should have been thrilled, she was waking up to every fangirl’s dream… But is she really happy in this video gamer’s paradise? Why would getting home be that important? Now that she had everything she ever dreamed about? But, I am getting ahead of myself…



CHAPTER III )

Here's the second chapter of Biting the Bullet. Someone should read this and leave a comment... or just be my friend... I feel friendless... I guess it doesn't matter too much. I'll continue writing anyway. But I may not continue posting if no one is reading/enjoying them. If you don't like this one I could post a different one... (I'm just a little insecure...) So, uh, check it out. It's good. I like it.

It isn't all sugar coated by any means... What are you reading this for? Read the story and tell me what you think! (Yes, I am still trying to get people to read this thing...)
