THE FAIRYTALE SERIES

Beautiful Monster - A retelling of Beauty & the Beast. Cherish has been betrayed by her father, given into the care of a madman, and left to fend for herself from the clutches of a desire to enter the nearby forest and follow the glowing yellow eyes of a wolf that has a particular attachment to her.

ONE-SHOTS, DISCONTINUED, ON HIATUS, COMPLETE

Yesterday's Mistakes - Tomorrow Hashibiyara's problems go way beyond the norm: not only is she a prodigy in a singular and very rare form of swordsmanship, but she lived alone until she was fourteen and therefore has the people skills of a rock. This makes dealing with the hundreds of fighters who come every week to challenge her for her sword a tad bit difficult. Not only does she have to fend off these challengers, she must fight off the rather intrusive affections of one Rapier Kinamoto, a swords master in his own right.
(COMPLETE 6-1-04 Genre – Romance/Humor/Action Sug. 13+)

Tomorrow's Decisions - The sequel to Yesterday's Mistakes. Shenuyu has blinded Rapier, and now Tomorrow, Naru, and Li must go to Tokyo to find the cure. There they meet a whole new cast of characters, including Tomorrow's grandparents and Rapier's brother. With the impending battle with Shenuyu and his allies on the horizon, a newfound sexual tension between Tomorrow and Rapier as well as the pressure to restore Rapier's sight before the final showdown is hard to bear. More laughter, more crying, more crazy samurai. Ah, don't you just love sequels?
(DISCONTINUED Genre – Romance/Humor/Action Sug. 15+)

Capability - With the loss of her father's station, Charlotte Lynne finds herself despairing that things will only worsen and her sister Victoria is pressured to marry for convenience and not love. Lottie, utterly fed up with the dark mood surrounding her home, is suddenly inspired to optimism by a strange, handsome man and the promise of help he offers.

Shifting the Blame - It's the early Edo Period - Tokugawa has fallen almost two decades ago. Sixteen year old bodyguard Mai has a secret nobody knows about and if it's up to her, it'll stay that way. On her way to the capital, Mai runs into two troublemaking losers with (surprise!) the same secret as she. Could that they previously served under Tokugawa at his last stand have anything to do with all this? Confusion! Romance! Incorrect historical references! See it all in this mind-bending tale.
(HIATUS Genre – Drama/Historical/Romance Sug. 13+)

Unfair Odds - In Japanese tradition... Girl pisses off gang member. Gang member invokes blackmail as revenge. Girl is forced to serve as gang's servant while inconveniently falling for leader of gang. What happens when the line between love and hate is blurred a bit TOO MUCH?
(FOR NOW, DISCONTINUED 3-2-08 Genre – Romance/Humor/Angst Sug. 15+)

In the Spirit of Annoying You - “Ugh! You’re so...so...” - “Charming? Dashing? All of the above?” - “Troublesome!” - “My dear Shiritai-san! It’s all in the spirit of annoying you.” - There's a thin line between love and hate...well, for Myojin and Reina, at least. Reina can't stand Myojin. Myojin just LOVES Reina. Is there a problem here?
(ONE-SHOT Genre – Romance/Humor Sug. 12+)

White Shell - A twisted retelling of The Little Mermaid. By the sea, where Sirenni lives, shells like the one her mother treasures are valuable because they're said to be the scales of giant fish that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. The story of a shell that was once white, a prince who was once noble, and a human girl who long ago was most definitely something else...

Virgin Snow - A twist on the tale Snow White & Rose Red. Larell and Rose are sisters, but not related by blood. The Queen of Shelvaria is queen, but not royal by birth. The snow that covers Shelvaria, a desert, cannot be natural - yet it falls from the sky. Will the hundreds of bears that suddenly appear in a kingdom of few animals be a greater riddle or can they point these wayward princesses in the correct direction? Larell must go North, Rose to the South, but mysteries may yet remain mysteries.

Marguerite Umbrae - A retelling of Cinderella. Aisling Gradford receives a gift from a mystery woman who appears at her mother's funeral. But what is the poor daughter of an even poorer restaurant chef going to do with magic glass slippers? Can miracles come true? Will the note inside the shoebox Aisling receives be the key to her future happiness? Does this mean she can ask the slippers to let her go to the King's annual Midsummer ball? But what will she wear?! If the shoe fits...

September 13th, 2009 - It's always extremely bizarre when I log onto this account and look at all of the stories I wrote when I was around 12-13. I feel so old. ;_; Like said in previous updates, I'm not likely to be updating any stories or writing new ones any time soon. I write pretty much strictly fanfiction these days. If you would like to read my fanfiction, you may visit my FF.NET account, but as I do write RPF and update it more consistently, I'd say go to my LJ and check out the tags. :3

Still In My Head, But Soon to be Written (maybe)

U P C O M I N G

Dramatic Assessment - He's an actor/singer; he's a Catholic school girl. He's twenty-eight; he's sixteen. They don't even know each other...yet. Ugh, there are just too many cliches in the way of a relationship, right? First chapter to be released eventually - maybe. Rating: PG-15 to M.

Curious, Curious – A retelling of Alice in Wonderland; the details are still being worked out. Estimated rating is PG-15 to M. First chapter to be released: unknown.

Never Grow title subject to change - Elements of Peter Pan, The Princess and the Goblin, and Diana Wynne Jones. Or something like that. While the first chapter is being written, the story is sort of complex and therefore constantly in the planning stages. Probably won't be released until it's complete, so not for some time now.

Title Unknown – A retelling of Jane Eyre; the details are still being worked out. Estimated rating is M. First chapter to be released: unknown.

oh snap, she's conclusivelead!

penname origin . . . i have no idea. i made it up because i wanted something clever for LJ.
real name . . . sarah.
actual age . . . almost nineteen.
physical descrip . . . i'm short; i like to dye my hair (mostly varying shades of red) and i've got blue eyes. i'm a pale-ass mofo.
musical preferences . . . i love acoustic music. i love anything and everything, really, but i'm loyal to men that slip into acoustics. Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, Morrissey, Lifehouse, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Sufjan Stevens, Robert Pattinson, Ben Folds, Don McLean, Dallas Green, Fleet Foxes.
film preferences . . . my favorite movies tend to be the ones that leave me emotionally restless. this usually means that sad movies are my favorites, because they leave a greater impression on me than happy movies. i like to have my emotions stirred when i watch a film. i don't want to sit through two hours of meaningless cinema that i'm gonna forget about in a couple of days. my favorite movies are The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Gladiator, Once, Children of Men, Beauty & the Beast, Wuthering Heights (1992), Howl's Moving Castle, Atonement, Labyrinth, and Interview with the Vampire.
television preferences . . . currently, the only television i watch at all is Supernatural, Merlin, Biggest Loser, Criminal Minds, Colbert Report, Daily Show, and Spongebob. i kid you not; i missed some episodes of Heroes and now i'm lost, so i stopped watching that, and everything else has just kinda fallen to the wayside.
literary preferences . . . Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Harry Potter, YAOI, and anything else that makes me shiver or sends me to tears.

You will have entertained us.
