Title: i haven't thought of one yet
Author: me!
Genre: not entirely sure yet
Rating: PG?
here's the prologue and part of chapter one, read and critique and i would be grateful!!
Prologue: The night sky was pitch black, the only light coming from the village lanterns and the tiny pinpricks of light hanging in the sky. Suddenly, the silence of the night was broken by the pounding of footsteps, the sound of a man running for his life. Come on Karl, he urged himself, keep going! Run faster! Run, run, RUN! The lanterns over the gates appeared in the distance, and he almost cried with relief. He was going to make it, he was going to live. He pushed himself even faster, faster than he ever thought possible. Suddenly, one shadow stopped being a shadow. ( Read more... )

It Starts With a Phone Call
Title: It Starts With a Phone Call
Characters: Kai and Jesse
Chapter: 1/1
Rating: T
Warnings: Contains swearing, mild violence
Summary: It starts with a phone call. Kai’s cell rings and he can’t hear the tone, but he feels it vibrate against his hip. He sets his food down and goes towards the house, leaving the back patio so that he can better hear the caller. “Kai here,” he says, shutting the door to the empty house. “What?” his heart drops and his face falls. “No, that’s not possible, it’s just…but yesterday!” Kai can’t even finish his sentence as his resolve crumbles along with his body, missing the couch by only a few inches as he collapses to the floor.
Author's Note: I hope you guys like this! It's interesting...I wrote this about a year ago and changed the names, posted it as fanfiction because I was afraid to post anything original, but this is how it was originally written!

second try
please tell me what you think!!!
Prologue It was a fall night and the trees were losing their leaves making them look dead. The moon was full high in the sky and the wolf howled at it. The grass was already turning brown and every time you stepped on it, it made a crunch. It was late November in the country of Estro. This country was in a time of unrest, anything could happen and no one would know. A woman named Astra was running through the woods with a baby in her arms. He was the son of the King’s brother. His name was Akon. He was only one week old. The king was a bastard; he was cruel to his own family and worse to his kingdom. His name was King Sinstrol. The king had no heir and he was not able to have a son. Akron was the next in line for the thrown and if he was found he would be killed. Astra ran for dear life knowing that the soldiers were right behind her. She ran through the woods and she could feel the moon on her face and the little heart of Akon beating against her chest. Her back was throbbing because when she left the castle they spotted her leaving and shot at her and one pierced her in the back. She began to feel that she would not be able to make it and that the soldiers would be able to catch them. Astra was the king’s sister in law. Her husband has already been killed for sneaking them out of the castle. Now it was up to her to get her son somewhere safe. She was headed for a little village that she had watched from the castle there were only two houses that she could see over the trees. One was the bakers and the other the blacksmith. She could see the village up ahead with the smoke coming up from the chimneys. She ran to the house of the blacksmith and knocked. A little boy answered it. “May I speak to your parents please?” The little boy nodded and went back into the house. A few seconds later a man came to the door. The man was in his mid forties with black hair and he started to have gray hairs come in. He was tall but had a little weight on him. He was wearing pants and a baggie shirt that was stained with ash. “May I help you?” he said. “Yes I am in a hurry and I ask that you please take care of my son. I have been watching your home from the castle because I was afraid that if it would come to the king killing my son and I had to leave him I wanted a nice loving family. His name is Akon and he was born only a week ago. Please, can you take him in and raise him as your own? His father has been killed and now they are after me. We have done nothing wrong but had a child. Please, my name is Astra the king’s daughter-in-law. This boy is the next heir to the thrown and he is going to be hunted for the rest of his life but please raise him and keep this night a secret to him.” The man looked at her and then the child for a few minutes. “If what you say is true then I will be happy to raise the future king. I will raise him as my own and he will grow up like any other boy, away from the pressures of the life he may one day live.” “Thank you sir, but I am afraid that raising this boy will one day bring you pain. I am also asking that if anyone comes looking for him that you send him away from all of this. I don’t want him to grow up knowing about his uncle and who his family is. I ask that you not tell him anything because one day he will find out on his own about the past. If you have to tell him anything tell him his parents loved him so much and that we hope he will make us proud.” “I will miss you my son, take care of yourself.” She whispered and handed Akon to the man and kissed the man and her son. She looked at the man and then her son smiled and turned around and ran. When she ran the man looked at the woman running into the woods and noticed that she was hurt. He called out to her but she had already vanished into the night. He looked at the boy and said in a loving father voice, “Come and meet your family little one,” and he walked inside the house.

Epiphany, Morality, and Movethedistance
I've been really inspired lately to write. I'm pretty incapable of writing anything longer than 1500 words so all my stuff is fairly short. I decided to post what I have so I can get some feedback and constructive criticism.
The first peice is a poem called Epiphany (it wasn't banned, so I'm hoping it ok to post a poem). It's based of a major discovery of mine, but can be interpreted other ways as well.
Next is a story I wrote for my school's writing contest. I love it. It's not excactly fanfiction, but it's based off a character that already exists. Please don't hate me. The story is called Morality.
The last piece I want to post is a little blurb I wrote randomly during english class one day. I'm not exactly sure what it's about and I don't know where I'm going with it, but I really like it. Maybe you can give me some ideas.
Thanks much!

TOUCHED-12Down the Rabbit Hole
Current writing theme: Demon Hunter-The Tide Began to Rise
Warning: This chapter has not seen a beta read yet
Title: TOUCHED
Summary: Leah has always known she was different, it was hard not too when you see things that people normally don't. Not to mention, her family has a knack for disappearing...and ending up in the crazy house. When her mother disappeared from her locked bedroom on her ninth birthday, Leah knew whoever was after them meant business. After almost nine years of keeping her head down, one new student threatens her silence.
TOUCHED-12Down the Rabbit Hole
This was it.
This was the moment I’ve been waiting for since I was nine years old. A chance to get the answers to the questions that had haunted me night and day for more than half my life.
The moment that I had prepared for, had agonized over and had nightmares of.
Finally, almost to the day, I came face to face with someone that could answer all of my questions. And then some.
So I planted my feet, looked him in the eye…
…and hit him square in the face with everything I’ve got. And everything I've got was considerable.

Fantasy advice?
I started a new project a couple of years ago, but I never got very far with it. I wrote a few episodes/chapters (and I’ve lost one!!) and tried to plan the whole thing, but… I put the whole thing on ice, and turned to other projects, because I couldn’t figure out the details. I’m still thinking about it sometimes, though.
It’s a fantasy story. My problem is that I don’t have much of a plot, or "a bad guy"; in other words, not much action. But the vague contours of the story are something like this:
(Any opinion you could have would be much appreciated!)

( The valley was desolate. Twisted black stumps clawed upwards from the scorched earth. The fields had been burnt out so many times, only the faintest scraggle of grass was attempting halfheartedly to grow back. Mournful black maws of cellars pitted the hillside where the village had stood. )

Tuesday's Tips for NaNoWriMo Writers
This week's installment of Tuesday's Tips is dedicated to those insane souls who have taken up the National Novel Writing Month challenge: The completion of a 50,000 word novel in just 30 days. While some of the tip's titles may seem sorta obvious, I'd still recommend checking them out. After all, you're attempting to write a book in a month. You're gonna need all the help you can get.
 With NaNowriMo already 36 hours in (EST), it may be a bit late to point you towards Robot's 6's advice regarding Hooking Readers in the First 8 Pages.
 Keep in mind, though, that hooking the reader is only the beginning (literally!). Once that's accomplished, you've gotta figure out a way to keep them hooked. How? Cliffhangers.
 As the pile of paper you hope to hold in your hands come December 1st will be -- at best -- a first draft, Between Fact & Fiction's Tips for First Drafting seems pretty damned apt.
 There's no two ways about it -- 50,000 words is a lot of words. The temptation to pad things out with a bunch of thesaurus entries will no doubt prove awfully tempting. But when choosing words, should you eschew the arcane? (Or, to put it simpler: Big words -- yes or no?)
 The Writer's Digest's 4 Techniques to Fire Up Your Fiction is actually closer to 27 techniques, as each of the aforementioned 4 are outline headings with 6 or 7 sub-divisions. Tricky? Yes. But who in their right mind is gonna purposefully click on a link boasting over two dozen writing tips when they're frantically trying to type 1,667 words per day?
 To close this out, I'm offering a special link to those of you who promised your friends and family that you would not be participating in this year's madness. Consider it a sort of self-help group for folks trying to kick the NaNoWriMo habit: All Things Good's Saying No NaNoWriMo.

Waiting for Sunset - Chapter 5
Title: Waiting for Sunset
Characters: Peter Calighan and Ian Wells
Chapter: 5/?
Rating: T
Warnings: Contains religious aspects!
Summary: Peter is a 14 year old Catholic boy. He has been raised to be the best that he can by two parents who want to see their son grow into a good, Catholic man, marry a good Catholic woman and create good, Catholic babies. Ian is a free spirited young man with the ability to talk to nearly everyone and make even the most laid back people feel awkward. When the two boys meet randomly at a party, Peter's perfect, Catholic world is thrown into disarray as he begins to struggle with the feelings he may have for Ian...and the feelings that Ian definitely has for him.
Author's Note: Alright, this is officially what I'm working on for my NaNoWriMo, and now that I'm in the throes of that, posts will be slightly more regular on this story than they had been!

let's be epic!
as was suggested, this is more of a scene, although it's still told as part of the retrospective narrative. it's also much shorter. just a few paragraphs.
( The keep had fallen and old Baronet Henri been slain the same day the daughter they had never named came stillborn, and Lisbet had bled to death in the birthing chamber. )
