Okay, how does this thing work?
Hi, I'm yet another amateur author. I write a few stories in my spare time, but I always seem to lack the ability to think up good ideas at a decent rate. Also, I'm a student, so I'm quite busy with work. So there probably won't be many stories here, but just give me an occasional poke to remind me if it's been too long at "my name minus the apostrophe" at gmail dot com.
I'm fastidious about grammar and spelling, so I'll try to clean up before I post.
I'm more into dragons and reptiles, but quite like dolphins as well. But I'm open to ideas. I'm also part of the furry community from a computer-bound point, since anything else is too impractical for now. What's the difference between them and here, anyway?
The stories are labeled for easy finding. The names in the stories were generated by the rinkworks.com generator, so they'll sound funny. Can't do anything about it, unless I tried thinking up names myself.
I notice my works seem to become longer as I go on. Whether this means they're better... only time (and views) will tell.
Now, since I doubt anyone will ever read this, here we go...
Stories
Oceania I like music a lot, and several of my stories are made with music in mind, or while listening to it. This happens to be based on "The Songs of Distant Earth" by Mike Oldfield (not Arthur C. Clarke's novel).
Resurrection Based more upon a random tracklist. The title track is PPK's song of the same name. Also, this story is quite dark and, in my opinion, a bit gory towards the end. 8000 words of amateur fiction, and not too bad, either. As a side note, 'Enter Sandman' really doesn't have a part to play here, I just put it in for the minute reference to dragons.
Progress vs. Past I looked at the previous story, and I'm not very happy with it, mostly because of storyline and the gore, so I decided to try and do a sequel and make it a little better. Though frankly, what I think I need is feedback. Anyway, it should be better.
One thing is that I keep rewriting my stories-in-progress, but never after that. And I don't publish in-progress works.
Universe 1
S1-1:A new universe I didn't name this (or any of my stories) at first. It's based on Catprog's story 2, but I decided to make it first-person and a proper story. My first-ever attempt.
S1-2:Lab-rats My second story and based on... nothing. Yes, I thought it up after looking into genetic-modification of humans. Also setting the stage for the next two.
S1-3:The other races My third story, being a sequel to the first and containing plot-elements of the second.
S1-4:Meeting My fourth story, merging everything together. Two viewpoints, but isn't too messy. Other stories MAY follow.
PS. I always try to complete my stories. I've always been disappointed with the incomplete ending of User:JonBuck's 'A Reach in the Dark', since I feel it had potential. It's like a meal cut halfway through, and I really don't want to commit that mistake.
NEWS
I realized, after writing "Resurrection" and reading it, that my stories look horrible recently. I have come to the conclusion that:
1) I don't write a plot. 2) I write too fast to think. 3) I never get motivation to write a good story when I have access to a computer, and vice versa.
Therefore, my next story will be on a "when I feel like it" status, since I really don't want to ruin it. Also, I'm trying another way of writing, which is basically key sentences with the gaps filled in. As such, this will probably stagnate for a while. But my email's still up there.
I've just done another story while I'm doing the current one.
