What She Gets

Oh, is there a story behind this.

So I wanted to make all the parts about the same length right? Well EditPad (I didn't have Word at the time) told me that the first two were about I hundred lines, so I write a hundred lines of pure smut. THEN I remember that the other stories were every other line. Oops. So the smut was twice as line as the other two. Heh.

Then I went to upload it to deviantArt and found this: "...which graphically describe sexual acts in detail are not suitable for submission..."
Huh. Oh. Okay then. I guess it is not going up after all.

A friend said I should be a smart ass and censor it.
"One upon a time,
*bleeeeeeeeep*
The End"


Bah.

Anyway, I found that taking out all the truly graphic smut left me with a file that was the right size. BUT this isn't deviantArt, so you guys get the full smut packed version!

What She Needs

Well, to be perfectly honest, I wrote this just so that I could segue into part three.

Ya know, I am copying these out of my deviantArt page, and I see that I wrote this in 2006. They are 2 years old! But I still like 'em.

The Quest: Chapter 2

I firmly believe that the drunk call should be used more often as a plot device.

Nobody can argue with you like family, huh? I think that I might hate my characters, while I was writing this, I thought, 'Wow, that sounds dickish, they should say that!' as I gleefully typed.

Also, right around book two, this chapter will have new meaning... but you will just have to wait until book two to learn what that is! =P

The first couple versions of this chapter didn't include a physical description of Seraph. I don't like stopping the narration to talk about what the characters look like for no reason, it wasn't until I realized that I had a perfect opportunity to have her look in a mirror did I feel I could add what she looked like.

The Quest: Chapter 1

So I have finally started this damn thing, but this just means that my friends get to listen to me talk about it EVEN MORE.

HA.

Fun note, the working title for this story, before I broke down and named it Oaken Heart and The Quest, was Arbor Day Rule. Because, in the Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Cliches rule 107, the arbor day rule, clearly states:

"At some point, you're going to have to talk to a tree and do what it says."

Which is what this book is all about. Although, there is not a lot to say about this chapter. About all I've done is introduced Seraph (the main character), Gabe and to a lesser extent Brad.

Oh, and I drove Seraph insane.

...

That's a plot point.

The voices want you to keep reading my story.

What She Wants

Okay, it was 4am and I woke up with this story dancing in my head, so I crawled out of bed and wrote it in notepad and went right back to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I had forgotten about it until I went back on my computer after work.

I kept the lack of punctuation and capitalization because I liked how it made the piece feel.

An interesting side note about this story; the people I showed it to had one of two reactions, they either thought it was a pretty woman style story in which the woman is saved, or they thought the main character was going to get murdered in some horrible fashion. The older and more social of my friends with real world experience thought death and the shut in who played magic during lunch thought pretty woman.

Something in the Closet

So I wrote this at 4 in the morning during a night shift job. I was reading How to Write Tales of Horror, Fantasy & Science Fiction and felt the need to write something myself. This is what I came up with.

It is hard to write a story with no pro-nouns. I didn't want to use 'he' 'she' or even 'I' because I felt that would take the reader out of the mind of the protagonist, and what I really wanted from this story was for the reader to feel like they were re-living a being afraid of the monster in the closet. I considered using 'you' but I always felt that was... condescending. So I didn't use it even when it might have worked, or even made the narrative smoother.

Not my best work, but I like it. I might go back and revise it later.

Website Creation

Now I have my website up!

Or some of it.

Or a page.

Oh well. At least my internet is back up so I can fully set myself up for disappointment!
