Quote: "The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who, in a time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." - Dante One piece of advice: Most of my works are unedited, raw, lack depth and lack skill. I wrote them a long time ago and can't bring myself to edit them... since they are beyond hopeless. Although someday when I have the time, I will try. If there is anything worth reading, it has to be Cat's Paw, Rock, Paper and Scissors and some of the one-shots. It's basically experimentation with style. So, don't say I didn't warn you. :) But I always look forward to constructive criticism. I might not be replying to each and every reviewer but I have read every word that you've written. Thank you.

Working on: Rock, Paper and Scissors: “Wrentrem, in the event of my death, you can have all my belongings. Except for my saxophone. I don’t trust you with it. To you Sid, I shall leave nothing but frequent visits from my vengeful ghost. And hence, I sign forth my will.” Max collapsed on to the bed with a dramatic sigh. A relieved Sid, much happy at the return of his turtle but much disturbed by Max’s antics, turned to Wren and cast him a worried look. “Is he always such a…” Sid searched for the right word. “A drama queen? Yeah,” Wren replied coolly, his hands dug into his jeans pocket. “He’s signed seventy two wills till date. I keep waiting for him to actually die.” (Humor/ Friendship/ Romance/ Drama) Max and Wren weren't quite aware that two is company, not a crowd and definitely not qualified enough to be called a 'club'. The two members of Pranksters Inc. think life is about rebellion, revolution and all that jazz... until they meet a girl. 11/? Complete: Cat's Paw: People always had their own way of fixing things. Aunt Valencia used to chuck the problem out of the window. Broken teacup? Throw it out. Tardy maid? Throw her out. Extravagant gifts were my dad’s way of fixing things. If you asked me, duct tape was the answer to all of life’s problems. But there was one object that was immune to the wonders of duct tape. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t figure out a way to fix the kitchen counter. Not even a paint job could conceal the two words the poltergeist had inscribed on it. (Supernatural/Humor/Drama/Romance) The story of two room-mates who rented an apartment... only to find someone else living there. 25/25 A nominee in 'Best Fantasy/Sci-Fi' on SkoW, Round 2.

Updates: 23/1/2009- Posted second installment to The Bride of the Rain God. 27/1/2009- Posted oneshot 'Moon River'. Chapter 10 of RPS is underway. 3/2/2009- Posted Chapter 10 of RPS and a drabble.
