SHAMELESS PLUG FOR REVIEWS: please review, guys! If only to say 'i liked it.' Please! All right. Now on with my information.
Hello! This is Leisl von Trapp, and thanks for tuning in. I don't have a ton to say...mostly that I like to write and hope (someday) to publish. Though it seems impossible.
"Shuttle to the Nearest Star" - I guess I'm churning out of a lot of S.F. lately... so far I've only writted one chapter of this, but I think it's going to be a bar-raiser for my writing style."Breaking Through Rock" - latest try at literature! A short story, a la suspense and sci-fi together. Here we have my first story that really ends unhappily. I couldn't do it for the others, but I can now (see if it's too sappy, won't you?)
"Not Guilty" - a one-act written for a theatre class. My first; see if it's any good, all right? I've heard, from my critics on this side of the screen, that it's pretty good.
"Tontine" - another one-act. I think it's more poorly written than "Not Guilty," but be the judge yourself (somebody really liked it, apparently).
"No Longer Humanity" - I'm giving satire a try nowadays...this isn't that great, and it takes too long to introduce (I stretched Poe's standards out of whack). I wasn't too encouraged by it. But see if it makes any sense to you. :)
"The Elusive Solution" - a story I wrote for my two little sisters, but which became a little over their heads. It's an allegorical fable that uses the same storytelling voice as the Kitterly stories. I haven't much else to say about it....
"Juneteenth on Larkey Ranch"- I'm more proud of this one. It's a bit more biting, and it's a bit more direct. Did it after I read Twain, I admit.
"The Siege of Kitterly" - the sequel to "Feuding," this story goes into the story of the war on Kitterly, through the eyes of a young man. I'n not as proud of this as I am of "Feuding," which still has a special spot in my heart, but I don't think it's terrible (not far, but hey...). Tell me yourself; see if it's any good.
"Variance of Jupiter" - this is my attempt at realistic science fiction. No; no one zips around the universe. The world is much like our own (the protagonist rides the bus, for heaven's sake!), and the people are much like us. It's a story about the value one man places on a life. Read it; it's not that bad.
If you have the time and the kindness, check out one or two of the stories, pease. Thanks again, and have a wonderful day!
