| Historical Me |
Author has written 3 stories for Historical, and Essay. History has to be rewritten in every generation because although the past doesn't change the present does; each generation asks new questions of the past and finds new areas of sympathy as it relives different aspects of the experiences of its predecessors. Welcome to my little section of the internet. (AKA thanks for clicking on my profile). If you want to know about me then I'm British and 14. Take a look at my stories. While I'm not the most frequent updater, I try my best. I would love it if you could review the On my favourite bookshelf: The Illiad- Homer, Sophie's World- Jostein Gaardner, The God Delusion- Richard Dawkins, A Short Introduction to Philosophy -Oxford University Press I won't be uploading any new stories on FictionPress. The only reason is that my newer stuff is much better and I tend to enter them in competitions. There are usually rules stating no previously published work, including publication on the internet, is acceptable. I will, however, try to continue the ones already here. Update: 15th April 07: Updated profile. Tried to update Ink And Blood but FictionPress won't let me! 23rd November 06: Updated profile. 10th October 06: Updated profile to 14 years old, a week and a half after my birthday. No new chapters for a while since I'm concentrating on a story that isn't on FictionPress but is my most important. Review Policy: Like any writer, I love constructive criticism because it helps improve a story. However, please criticise in a kind and diplomatic way since flames will be ignored as they do nothing for the story because it's hard to continue when someone announces they hate it (or words to that affect). Praise is, of course, wonderful and gives me a happy glow inside. :) If somebody reviews my story, I do my best to review them back. Nonetheless, there are limits as to what I'll read. Apologies if I don't review. Stories: Ink And Blood I'm constantly changing the summary of this story because I know they're what attracts the readers. This is the story I'd most like you to read. Basically, Ink And Blood Industries is a company that looks after English Heritage and Cadw (yes, I know it's confusing if you're not British but those are two of the main four organisations that preserve British history- there's also Historic Scotland and the National Trust).Ink And Blood Inc. have developed a way of time travel and send young, naive Mattie Hope to the 15th century. Unfortunately, the natives think she's crazy (bit of poetic licence with the witchcraft) and consorts with the devil and Mattie is forced to run from village to village. Throw in a zealous Second in Command, the pawn of the Company President, falling profits, and you have my favourite story to date! IN PROGRESS Conspiracy : Decided to write a story about something I actually know about so this is based on the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. It's basically about why it happened ect. but it's fiction so there'll be a lot of poetic license in it. I actually dislike the Stuarts as a period of history, but I just seem to know a lot about the time... I'm also an atheist so I may need to research some more about Catholicism, although it's unlikely to come into the story much, but they're Catholic so... Anyway, r&r it please! IN PROGRESS Common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Nature expects a full grown man to accept the two black voids, fore and aft, as stolidly as he accepts the extroadinary visions in between. Imagination, the supreme delight of the immortal and the immature, should be limited. In order to enjoy life life we should not enjoy it too much. I rebel against this state of affairs.
