Author has written 53 stories for Young Adult, Spiritual, Horror, Fantasy, Romance, General, General, Sci-Fi, Biography, Life, Fantasy, War, Love, Supernatural, Fable, and Humor. Name: Ashton Age: 16 I write: Usually really short stories, with genres that include (but are not limited to) science fiction, fantasy, spiritual, and romance. If you see a story that's in a strange category, it's because I couldn't decide where else to put it... if you have a better idea, email me. I also write poetry, but I rarely classify it good enough to post anywhere. Oh, and most of my stories are one-shots unless otherwise stated. Likes: A shit load of music, ranging from rap to classical and back again. I like to learn about strange things, like serial killers and Nazis. I also enjoy strange internet cartoons like those by David Firth. Obviously, I enjoy writing. Dislikes: Badly written "whodunit" stories, music that is blatantly about sex, and other asinine things that make no sense in my eyes. | |||||||
