My guide to make better writers so I will have better things to read seems to be going over well. I'm glad so many find it useful.
I've been working on a novel length story, but I'm not sure if I'll post it here. I don't care as much for my little mini-stories and the guide that is so focused specifically on this site as I do for this full length story. I'm worried about plagiarism. Basically, I'm thinking that if I cannot get the story published after many different attempts, I will post it here.

I've just posted a new story called Nathaniel's First Day. The assignment for this was to write a short story from five different perspectives, but! each perspective must only be 200 words. I'm not sure if it's what my Professor wanted but go ahead and read it for yourselves to find out!

My stories are all original and solely mine. Take them and I will be angry!

Stories:

Guard:
-This was a short story I had to write for an English class final. I got a very good grade on it so I'm assuming that it's good.
-This is a story from the point of view of a Nazi guard. He sees a woman who doesn't fit the stereotype of the Jew Nazi Germany portrays and makes some decisions about the horrific things he has done.

Twins:
-The requirement for this story was to take a thumbnail picture given to me by my English class teacher and to incorporate it into a short story. I was given a picture of a mask with green skin and wispy white hair. The mask was quite scary looking and was clearly meant for Halloween.
-Sometimes having a twin can lead to disastrous results, but you always love your twin anyway...even if he is a psychopath.

Nathaniel's First Day:
-The assignment for this was to write a short story from five different perspectives, but! each perspective must only be 200 words.
-Nathaniel is having a very difficult first day at his new school. It's too bad that the bullies who are bothering him are about to get squished. Boom! Explosion.

Why I Will Not Read Your Story, and conversely, Why I Will:
-My step-by-step, completely egocentric—yet strangely informative—guide :rant: to why I will not read your story, and conversely, why I will.
-My goal is to be able to read good things on this website. I hate clicking on a story because I think it may be good only to find that it sucks for various reasons. My guide is meant to make better writers so I will have better things to read. There is a reason I put egocentric in the summary...

Poetry:

So Listen:
-Oddly enough, I was listening to alternative rock when this popped into my head and I couldn't help writing it down.
-Music...So Listen
