Rei_Yavie I post tidbits on line here though I'm also at Writing.com They actually copywrite your stuff for you so that it can't be stolen. Not to mention you have to be a member there to read anything. I like the Anthony-isque idea. I'd love to read that when you have it done. Sounds like it would be a fun read. Well, the problem with posting online isn't that it might get stolen, it's than many publishers count that as being published, and so it can only be published as a reprint after that, and many publishers won't want to do that.

Im sorta working on this project that I started like a month ago. I used to work on it whenever I could, which was all the time. Now I find myself working on it whenever I have nothing better to do. Unfortunatly, this how all my story projects end up...Unfinished. Heh, kinda sucks being an unmotivated tardo. But so far I've got 4 characters and a couple people you just kinda meet. *opens up story on MS Works* I guess I'll get crackin whee

I'm working on a few small things at the moment such as characters, research and editing (I'm a procastinator when it comes to editing). I'm toying with a few story ideas but nothing much has come from that beyond a few lost paragraphs and a really bad opening.
My ideas -
Untitled: A girl in ancient Egypt, in a moment of drunkness, kisses an angel/god (haven't decided) and finds herself in the future dealing with the angels lover who has been rejected over humans and wants his SO back. Not terribly enthralling but it's only in the planning stages.
Pupeteer: A young woman finds an opening to the world between worlds where the puppeteers of death exist. After finding out that she is one of them she is led into a spiral of despair and unhapiness. I've been toying with this idea for months and I still haven't figured out a way to make it believable. It sounds cliched l must stress that the pupeteers are not assasins.

Well, I'm working on a comical noir fantasy story that plays itself off of typical rpg cliches. The only problem being that these anaologies are a pain in the a** sometimes, expecially if they need to be comical. edit: see what I mean I was returning from a long day in the fields like a four hundred fifty pound man to desert when I caught glimpse of the note tacked to my door like a painting of a self-absorbed dictator overlooking the toilet of all of his female subjects ages sixteen to twenty five.

Right now I'm working on a Wild Arms fanfiction that I started last September. It's a huge horror/angst epic that's reached 321000 words so far, with 84 chapters. I wanna try and finish it soon, provided I don't get some kind of writer's block.

I am working on novel right now. Its about a girl (Nirva) who after she runs away from home climbs a tree and finds a severed talking head that was calling for her help. She faints from the shock of it falling from the tree hitting her head against a rock and dying. Her death however brings her to a new world. Soon after she meets a man named Marc who unknow to her is a cannibal rapist murderer. He feeds her soup which was made from the body of severed head, though she doesnt know it. Marc takes her to the nearest town at her request, a two day trip. he leaves her at the town gates because he has been exiled. In the town Nirva hears the story of Marc. There she also learns she ate human flesh and that there is a hermit woman who might be able to answer the two main questions on her mind 1. why was she in this new world and 2. why did her backpack appear in the new world when she did not have it on at the time of her death. So Nirva quests to the old woman who she finds on a mountain side. She learns this woman is one of her old ancestors who is being kept alive by her own magic. She learns why she is here and why her backpack made it through. She also learns disturbing news that all the worlds are in danger of being destroyed since she came to the new relam, and she must try to stop it. She leaves and begins her quest to save the worlds. Along the way she develops a bloodlust. She cant seem to satisfy. Until a group of bandits try and steal from her. They end up in a bloody fight and Nirva is covered in blood. She licks her bloodstained lips and realizes that the only way to statify her craving for blood is to eat human meat. Throughout the rest of the story she spirals into insanity and cannibalism. Until she is killed just before she finishes her quest.

Currently I'm supposed to be working on four fanfiction pieces (all Card Captor Sakura), and one original piece.
Original piece is something that is being very informally written, in that I don't have a copy on my hard drive. I just write it when I feel like it. The premise is that the main character is incapable of staying dead, and has managed to find a part-time job because of this. Some Evil Conspiracies are around, but the character is not going to be privy to them, being, well, a part-timer.
Yes, I know it makes no sense whatsoever. No, I don't really want to work it all out. Too much trouble.
CCS fanfics in order:
- Alternate Universe, following the canon timeline. Card Captor Tomoyo, essentially. Plus an original character who's beginning to get on my nerves as well. Very neatly planned, but still suffering from writing obstacles.
- Mystery/detective, set the usual "one decade later". Features a very non-canon pairing, at least during the times the intrepid duo are not busy solving murders.
- Continuation. For the times when I want to just write a CCS fic and be done with it.
- Mary Sue parody. Not Sue-bashing; more the opposite, a kind of a tribute to the concept of Mary Sue. No idea how well it's working.
Those are what I'm supposed to be working on. What I'm actually doing is wasting my time on Gaia.

I'm working on a story that I thought was pretty good until I read it today... I feel lots of things that I put in it are just thrown in and they don't really go very well with the rest. I want to drastically change it but I'm afraid of losing all that I just wrote. Of course, if I do change it, it'll be a lot better. Meh, so that's what I'm thinking about right now.
I promised myself I would write a full fledged book and nothing is going to stop me~

Oh, I'm also working on editing together a bunch of my rants from my old website, Caffiene & Chicken, into some sort of book format.

Currently, I am working on the second book in a series of Young Adult Sci-Fi novels. I'm not going to try and get them published until I have three or four done, as they are quite short.
I recently finished the second part of a Trilogy. About this character, here, Tiva. A fantasy/sci-fi story, kinda like LOTR meets Star trek.
I have one other mystery/romance novel completed and I am looking for an agent at the moment, because the first book I published wasn't done very well by the editors and publisher, so I'm trying to get into the "writing" world another way.
I have several finished fan fictions, and have about 12 projects in the making, but not done. I'm really glad to be here, this place looks great!

erm, I'm working on a story for TPau's competition, don't have a clue if I'll finish it...but weirder things have happened.
A novel with a plot and everything, just need to create the world and get the cliches knocked out of it, plus I have a habit of drawing the main character over and over again, yet never any maps, I can't draw maps, thats why I failed geography.
a short story from the point of view of a gorilla who is one of the 1000 monkeys trying to writer shakespeare...but thats on my computer at home I'm at my mums at the moment...no laptop just broadband...I think that evens it out a little bit lol.
some fanfics...
Ginny/Draco...Ginny is the wizard liason officer to MI5 helping aurors cover up acts of wizarding destruction, Draco has done something...I dont know yet I'm still working out the details...(i.e doodling and thinking)
So thats what I'm working on, erm yey me.

I'm also planning on writing a short story about a man and his quest to help a dead (murdered) woman bring her killer to justice. The story is meant to be slightly scary and the idea sort of freaks me out since the story is based on what I remeber from the experiences my friend told about in her cottage. The characters have been changed, and of course there will be a back story, and the plot holes will be fixed as the edition of an ending.

Fine, fine! You caught me! I don't actually write. I bite. There's a humorous story behind my introduction to what I thought was the Biter's Forum. I found I had made a grievous error, and now... I've been sucked into a lie that I can't keep up anymore. crying
*quits Gaia*
