If you review something of mine, I'll review something of yours. Promise.
About me:
I'm a college freshman.
Chaotic Neutral alignment.
I give both critique and compliments, and I'm brutally honest. If I say something, I mean it.
In writing:
I love plot twists, original ones; truely unique characters and storylines.
Have a soft spot for for characters mentally 'not there' or otherwise insane. (Not all of my characters are like that, of course.)
Dislike Mary-Sues, and authors who cater more to their personal taste than to making a good story.
Current Stories: (In order of latest to oldest)
"Med" or "Medieval": This one is actually a 'just for fun' type story that i'm pleased with so far. It spun off of an RP I did with a friend, Osaka, a few years back. The story version is more grown up, makes more sense, and is a bit less silly, but I still intend to capture the basic essence of the story and all of it's crazy characters. The two main characters are Tsukiko and Aiden, agents for a faction called the Spiritualists. They intend to preserve magic in the land, and to stop the sudden increase in technology brought out by the Industrialists. The main Industrialist character, Bloodshot, is an assassin who carries two pistols, and later twin Uzis. Guns? In Medvieval times? Yes. They were introduced by some mad scientist from the future who went back in time. Though most people disbelieved him, he did gain some very loyal followers. He plans to bring the Industrial Revolution much earlier in time in hopes that the world could benefit from a longer period of knowledge. That's the basic gist of it, anyway.
"The Princess and the Dragon": I have a special place in my heart with this story. It's basically a satire fantasy, where the princess befriends the dragon and they plan to escape the tower together--but really, that's just the beginning. There will be adventure, their will be danger and action, comedy, and later--romance (not between the princess and the dragon, I'm not a Scaley, or a Furry for that matter. I mean between the princess and some lucky young man). I'd really like to say more about this, but I can't without giving too much away. :(
"Mr. Perfect": This is a tale about a teenage, high school girl, told in second person by one of her friends. The theme is lust. This is a rather dark story, mind you. It's rated M for a reason. I haven't been able to settle on a good ending though (it's between one or the other right now)--aside from that, this story is 1 chapter away from completion. It's short, it's gritty, it's raw, and to the point. It is based off of people I know--that is, the main character is composed of qualities from real people--some more than others. For this reason all the characters have "code"-like names. Interesting, yes? There's not much I can say about this story that it doesn't say about itself.
"Therese": This is a short story I wrote for a story trade I did with a friend. We each came up with an idea, and the other had to write the story. I can't tell you the idea here because it would give away the ending, but it's a very sad, romantic piece. Did Jeremy really love her? Did Therese really love Jeremy? You decide. Completed story, though I might go back and make it better sometime.
"The Seventh" and all affiliated titles: Now, I would definately not recommend these, as I wrote them when I was much younger and therefore they are inadequate, but they are here. If you enjoy a deep fantasy universe, you may like these. 75 original characters, each with a backstory, a few thousand years of world history, enchantments, battles, scars on the planet, etc.. I ditched it because I thought the main character was too much of a Sue, and there's not much I can do to fix that at this point. Still, I was very descriptive back then, perhaps more so than I am now.
Coming Soon AKA the Stuff I'm Working Seriously on and Actually Care About
"Omega Earth": My baby. This is the story of a fallen angel, an angel of death, seeking redemption in a post apocalyptic world. Cleared of her memories and her past by amnesia, her travels lead her to discover her former self, which she must face: the truth that she was once one of the Demons who call themselves gods and rule over the last cities of the world. I plan on having an array of characters, both human and non. Wow, saying it like this makes it sound rather lame--but I am pouring my heart and soul into this . . . Heart and soul. . . one will burn. . .
Space Pirates, or something: I really can't think of a title for this one. But it will be epic. Basically it's about a girl who runs away from her own wedding, and desperate for escape, begs a pirate to take her aboard his ship (and then eventually stows away on board as he won't let her come along). Her fiance, however, takes it that she has been kidnapped, and being a member of the Space Force with a rather high standing, gives chase. The story will be told from two points of view: hers and his. His is an Odyssey-esque story involving episodes in various locations as he gives chase, hers is a grittier story with the theme of freedom, but also revealing the terrible truths about the society she lives in. There will be action, romance, adventure, comedy, etc..
