Welcome to my little corner of the site.
My writing style is generally laconic. This means that I don't usually use a lot of description. As such, my stories are generally character/plot-driven. I say generally because, occasionally, I will do some description-heavy writing.
In my poetry, expect quite a bit of sensical nonsense from me. Making outrageous things seem plausible and vice versa is my specialty.
In everything else (short stories, novels, essays, etc.), black humor, sarcasm, satire, tragedy, death of characters, and deep contemplation abound. Ask me not why my writing is so dark; I do not know the answer myself.
On another note, I adore archaic and/or unusual words and syntaxes so if you find some weird terms in my writing that you cannot find the definition for, feel free to ask me.

A Woman Scorned is at last complete. As difficult as it was to write, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I hope you will enjoy reading it.

Kylie is declaring an indefinite hiatus. This will only really affect ARCE since that is the only story of mine that has a regular update schedule, but whatever. :P
Other than ARCE going on indefinite hold, updates will be more infrequent, I'll be taking my own sweet time to reply to reviews, yadda yadda yadda... You know, the typical hiatus-y stuff.
Reasons why? In short, life can be a real pain in the you-know-where, and Kylie's Year of Hell just began this past Monday.
Oh joy.
Current Projects & Updates
Action-Reaction, Cause and Effect (ARCE)
An experiment in storytelling. As such, methods of storytelling will vary greatly between chapters. Critiques highly encouraged.
On Hold Indefinitely.
You can view a quick portrait of Vinn here.
Book of Villainy (BoV)
Book of Villainy is the plotbunny spawned by "The Death of the Dark Lord Thirilight." I've lengthened the original drabble into a chapter, and future installments are in the writing. Go read it! :P
Meet Thirilight, Dark Lord, member of the High Council of Villainy, and generally all-around evil guy... or not. Come join him on his various misadventures as he eliminates heroes (sort of), kidnaps a princess (or three), and uncovers a devious weapon of mass destruction (for real), all while making it home in time for Gramma's cookies.

The Reaper's Heart (Reaper)
"And thus, The Reaper gained a Heart at cost of His Beloved's own."
My first dabble into the genre of tragic romance. This story was partially inspired by Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

Future Projects
Back to the Chapel
A runaway bride meets runaway groom, and together they flee the Arranged Marriage of Doom.
My Name is Gary Stew (Gary)
Gary Stew has always been the outcast. Considered crude by his peers due to his name, Gary has only ever had one true friend - Ovaltine. One day, however, Gary and Ovaltine are summoned before the ruler of Merysu, Her Imperial Niceness, Eternally Your Queen Mariella Susanna CDXLVIII (448), and charged with an important mission: prevent war with Antiseu.
A Mary Sue parody, of sorts.
The Dragon Stone
A dragon, a school bus-sized diamond, and a power hungry king. Add a town, a gryphon, and rumors of the diamond being able to summon dragons into the mix, and you have The Legend of The Dragon Stone.
