WHO'S YOUS!
CD 1.0
I am a writer through and through--and let it never be said that we're quiet and controlled. I have yet to meet one that is. You end up so lost in your own world that it makes it impossible to know what's happening in the real one sometimes, though I probably would not enjoy meeting most of my characters. o.O
I love meeting/talking to new people, so don't feel afraid to PM me. If you need a constructive review just give me a shout, I'm good at it and I find it extremely rewarding to know that I've helped somebody. Just no beta requests right now. I'm kinda overbooked.
Like with my almost job as a judge for SKoW, or Some Kind of Wonderful Romance Awards. Don't know what it is? I implore you to check it out, and not just 'cause I help out. It's a cool site. Has a lot of great writing and reading related content.
And the course I'm taking with the Institute of Children's Literature. With a personal tutor and everything. Now if I only got my homework done faster...
And my participation in NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month. Good luck to me, eh? I'm totally pumped, but I think I'm going to need it.

The Blue Rose
General: Drama/Fantasy
Update Status:
Weekly from here on out, often before that.
Due date: August 2nd. Done 3 days early! Not having realized how horrible the first 16 some-odd chapters were, I've been editing like mad ever since. Please excuse the abrupt change of writing style as you read beginning chapters. I've been trying to replace them as fast as possible.
Chapter countdown:
52 chapters long as of right now, and 9 or 10 more to go. Starting to wind down, definitely.
Official Summary:
It starts out as a small-world story: girl is told that she is The Chosen One and is responsible for the survival of everything in existence, even the things that aren't of this universe. In fact, she's responsible for the survival of everything that subsists in every single one of uncountable worlds and universes. Were principle to be brought into it, it wouldn't be possible--but somehow, someway, it is
It's all going to be decided when she finds, then either protects or destroys an elusive Blue Rose. The term for her position is a prophecy child, and at birth every prophecy child is assigned three guards whose sole purpose is to ensure that the prophecy is correctly fulfilled, be it for good or ill.
But of course, none of that is possible. It's all one big joke she's being told because her friends want her to loosen up a little. It defies every scientific principle out there and she's not about to have her life screwed up on her. It's not real, and it never will be. It's all just a joke.
Except for the fact that despite how impossible it all seems, she can't deny its existence any more than she can deny her own. It's all real.
And while being a prophecy child and having to keep quiet about it is not easy, being forced to brainwash and manipulate yourself without letting yourself consciously register it's happening is harder.
And harder than brainwashing yourself is trying to survive in an entirely foreign world that doesn't give you any slack, even when all you are doing is helping them.
And harder than being a foreigner is being the outcast with all the answers that nobody is going to take the time to listen to because you're a failure.
And even harder than being a failure is being the person who isn't anything more than the empty shell of a human, with no control over even their thoughts, much less doing menial things such as brushing your own teeth.
It's not fun, and it's not easy, and it's not fair. It's life, and it's something that people learn to live, whether the odds are in their favor or not.
The Border's Reign:
The Blue Rose is intended to be the first book/story in a series I've tentatively titled The Border's Reign, because they've all got the Border-etc-related twist of varying importance and influence. The way it'll be structured is it'll start with The Blue Rose, but then you'll be able to skip around as much as you like, armed with the basic knowledge this story provides. It's basically the exploration of this concept and its complications through eyes which may or may not be familiar to you.
Conceived Stories So Far:
Click (Romance: Angst/drama)
70 pages. More character than plot driven. General and moderate plot is set, but the details need tweaking, as does structure. What I have now are random scenes that I need to thread together.
Salute (Romance: fantasy/humor)
180 pages. Plot and character driving are tied, but the plot details are in the same state as Click. Even worse, actually.
Decibels Above (General: action/adventure/romance)
6 pages. Very malleable plot details, as only the general plot is outlined.
Holding in Simply An Open Hand (Romance: supernatural/drama)
23 pages. Situation exploration, mostly. Plot's mostly devised, but some of the character-troubles are undefined.
Something Like Hercules
Young Adult: Humor/Romance
I was going to eat off of a plate that had Hercules' face on it when the idea for this story came to me. And Imma be honest: I don't like high school fics, so this isn't at all what I'm used to writing, but from really getting into the nitty gritty of a story like this has made me understand (somewhat) why people like it. The style has a charm and innocence my other stories could never claim. Not to mention the characters! They're all so fresh and different and self-developing. I hardly have to consciously work on them, and that's fabulous, it really is.
Update Status:
Chapter 6: idea has formed, but fingers have not touched keypad yet. I have no idea of when I'll update next.
To Soul
Romance: Supernatural/Angst
As of right now, this thing is probably going to be something like 9-13 chapters, if that.
It's something that was inspired by a dream, and a lot of the situations in the first couple of chapters (how they meet, the prologue, the way they interact in general), but the rest is going to be chemistry exploration. It's dark, no doubt about it, but I really love writing the analogies and tone that accompany the perspective. It's haunting and gory and beautiful, and I probably couldn't capture that tone in any other story.
Update Status:
Chapter 6: idea's there, but I haven't started it yet.
Phantom
Mystery: General/Humor
This is something that Sequel--that's right, the other person under this penname who is here only for decoration--wrote for her English class. This is entirely without my influence. Apparently, her English teacher is a sucker for a good cliche-esque story. Admittedly, it has potential to be a nice chapter-story and much less of a cliche, but Sequel doesn't wish to continue it.
DEH BETA-ANG
Status:
I am currently i n a c t i v e, since I'm already an official beta for s e v e n p e o p l e. I will not be back in action until some of these authors finish their stories or decide they don't need me anymore.
The Works:
1) Duct Tape Fixes Everything by Qzie (as goes)
2) Star Crossed by Audy (private email)
3) The Clearing by daraladylondon (as goes)
4) Heat by LateNightChild (as goes)
5) Wayward by Eternal Candle (as goes)
6) Goodnight, My Angel by Joan Reynolds Eldridge (as goes)
7) The Hallow by Soggy (as goes)
The Adopted Ones:
(These are the authors/stories whose stories have earned my loyalty. I don't have to be asked to be an official beta for them to put as much thought and effort into the reviews I leave for their stories that I put into betaing)
8) The Deceiver by Kiyura (as goes)
9) My Heart in His Fingerless Gloved Hand by Rezin's Black Rose (as goes)
I really believe in all of these authors, and I recommend that you .c h e c k. .o u t. .a l l. .o f. .t h e s e. .s t o r i e s. because are of these authors all really great people and totally deserving of every story review/hit they get.
DEH LINKSH
1)The Syrah Pineson Website. My website, actually, this one being the one I use for loosely-termed "business."
2) Our DeviantArt account, where Sequel posts her pretty artwork and we both compile awesome favs.
3) Mary-Sue Quiz. Is your character a Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu? Take the test and find out. It's good for RPCs, fan and original fiction, and it's funny to boot!
4) Zombie Princess, a poem written by kougyoku. She doesn't have it written on the piece, but she told me that her inspiration for it was my poem Sweet Poison. It's cute, and I think that it's really good and has a variety of meanings, both deep and shallow.
5) The Syhrith Fanclub. Created by--to use her pen name--none other than Qzie. That's right, Syhrith from The Blue Rose has a fanclub. And to put the icing on the cake... Sequel doesn't like him. At all. In fact, since I started writing The Blue Rose, it's been an on-going joke between us that she's the president of his anti-fan club. And... well, I'm sure you understand how odd I'm finding this.
6) Casting Nines. Also by Qzie. It was inspired by chapter Mind Calculator of The Blue Rose. It's adorable. Even if you haven't read the story, read this.
