My writings, WIPs (works in progress) and whims. Enjoy, or not, whatever suits your fancy. You can message me on AIM. lillypadhopper49 Otherwise, please review. It's what sustains my literary life force.
Anyway, I mostly write poetry, but when I posted that it didn't get much response (none, actually, how sad is that?) so it's scattered to various other sites.
The Adventures of Gavin and Katie- Just in case anyone is getting confused by the chronology, the order of the adventures of Gavin and Katie, as they theoretically "occurred" is...
1: Not (the Christmas before senior year)
2: Save the Cheerleader (the Halloween of senior year)
3: First Things First (between Halloween and Thanksgiving senior year)
4: Surprisingly Unsurprised (Thanksgiving of senior year)
Save the Cheerleader: In a nutshell: Gavin and Katie are in a strictly hate-hate relationship. Ha ha. I guess things aren't going according to plan? Because now she's in trouble, and maybe Gavin's not okay with that. Maybe Gavin is so not okay with that, he may have to take measures so that she's never in trouble again. Can you say personal bodyguard?
Surprisingly Unsurprised: Gavin and Katie are back! It's Thanksgiving with her family, and poor Gavin may not survive. : ) I wrote it from Katie's POV this time, y'all will have to let me know which POV you like better. Can be read as a separate story.
Not: Yet another installment of Gavin and Katie. Some one shot, huh? This episode is set the Christmas before STC. Katie is sick, and Gavin can't bring himself to leave her alone. I'm sorry it dies at the end. I may edit it later. In which Gavin decides 'not' is a stupid word.
First Things First: Gavin and Katie go on their first date! To a skateboarding park! Oh, what fun! And on top of that, Gavin's been doing weird things...like...not ever leaving. Ever. How will our favorite mismatched couple prevail? That is really the question. Inspired by Noie's input. Go give her cookies! And really guys, by this point, you should just read all of them. It might make sense alone, it might not. I, for one, am going to shamelessly promote reading all of my stories as the obvious solution. ;)
Gavin/Katie Spin-Offs-
Withdrawals: James (Gavin/Katie fans will know him from Surprisingly Unsurprised) is a bank teller working at the drive-through window. He's happy working there until he falls for one of his customers, who has never seen him, and who therefore obviously assumes that he's a sixty year old pothead lesbian with a fetish for animal print. Drama ensues. :) Don't like how this one turned out as much as STC, but will conquer the dastardly villain writer's block!
Multiple-chapter Stories-
The Twilight of a Tale: My baby. I love this story! Things should move a lot faster now that Draumur's on the scene. At least I hope they do. Anyway, I can't seem to figure out the genre on this story (I've changed it like six times) so any suggestions are appreciated. As an actual summary, and maybe a bit of an explanation...this is set in an alternate universe where Stories are real, human-like figures with emotions and trials and everything else we go through. 'We', that is, mankind, are referred to as Speakers, because it is our speaking that gives birth to them. The twist comes in where our protagonist is concerned: she is an incomplete Story. This makes her almost radioactive, and detrimental to the health of other Stories. For this reason, she is shunned. So, when something bad happens, how is she going to get help?? That is the drama. Along the way she meets up with Draumur, who quickly becomes her friend, confidante, and love interest. Awww. Anyway, that's about it. Any further questions I will try to answer as best I can without ruining the story. Good? Or no?
Of Whims and Wizards: This is an experiment. I love fairy tales, and Disney, but I am rather disturbed by the lack of depth afforded to the characters, particularly the females. So, I've unleashed myself upon the world of fantasy. I know, be afraid. Most are the generic humor/romance category (I enjoy putting characters in awkward situations) but some are a bit weird. The Frog Prince/The Nude Knight is now completed!! I know I said Cinderella would be next but it's giving me fits, so we're going to skip to another one, which I haven't figured out yet, because honestly I'm lame. Also following will be re-tellings of Sleeping Beauty, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Cinderella, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, and many others, though not necessarily in that order.
That's it, I think. We'll see how this goes.
I might point out that most of my female leads are short. This is not unoriginality on my part, or forgetfulness. I too am a short woman, and I believe we should lend powers to the leprechauns of the world!! So if you get annoyed by the recurrence, or just want some variety, go ahead and pretend they're six one.
You're radiant writer (or...whatever ; )

I know I've totally disappeared into the black hole of life, and I'm sorry!! I'm several weeks behind on updates, and while I have plenty of ideas I have absolutely no time.Much as I wish that writing was my number one priority, I still have class and band practice and competitions to worry about. Not to mention I was so sick I could barely move last week (love this time of year, eh?). So updates are on the horizon; it's just that it's the distant horizon. After this next week I should be able to get back in the swing of things, but then again, that's what I thought last week. Maybe I'm stuck inside a time warp I'll never escape from. Maybe I need a nap. Either way, I thank you all for your patience. I hope I get to continue soon. :) Bye!
Finally took a look at the next OWAW installment and the Cinderella retelling is not coming along at all gracefully, so I'm going to bypass it and work on another tale. Hopefully my brain will reboot in time.
OMGingersnaps, I am definitely out of practice. This is going to come along pretty slowly, guys, please don't attack me with sporks.
Hey, so I'm a beta-reader now, if any of y'all trust me with your writings. And competition is over as of this week, but we moved on to nationals (BOO... I mean...woo) so my life is not my own quite yet.
