My Writing
NOTE!!: Hey, a lot of you may have noticed that I do A LOT of stories between Brandon and George. Why, you ask? Brandon and George are... SO CUUTE together. Hmph, really. They're based off real people I know and I think it'd be so sweet if they really got together because you can so tell they have chemistry! They fight like an old married couple!! Now, if Brandon would just get out of the freaking closet already and George would make eye contact with him and stop blushing whenever the former talks to him maybe this would come true...
I've been working on a fic... Called 'Twins'... Yep, the incest I talked about... (sighs) I really needed to write this even though I forced myself to, so please don't rag on it. If you have the stomach for it please go ahead and read and give me your honest opinion. Focus on the writing considering the tough situation, not the situation itself. It's published now so check it out!
I just published another fic today, 12/27, it's called 'Tarnished Gold' and it's a M/M slash. No incest like in 'Twins', though. It's about an ambitious guy (Brandon) who is really close to getting a full scholarship to Princeton, the school of his dreams. All he needs to do is get a few more community service hours at the hospital and keep up his perfect school record and he's in. But, he meets the sickly, ethereal, kind and sweet town golden boy; George. The whole town loves George, and the boy's so fragile that everyone is very protective over him. But Brandon, of course, falls for him. And then all the fun begins! Read and find out what happens!
As of 1/16/08 I have a third fic up! Yay! It's called 'Make Up Your Mind', another Brandorge! Read it! The summary is pretty self-explanatory... and I'm a bit too lazy to actually rewrite it here so scroll down a bit and read the summary and then read it and REVIEW! Muahaha! Yes... I'm a bit high on sugar... So? Shoot me.
Plot Bunnies
Um, just know that even though they aren't published they're still my ideas... I'd appreciate it if you respect my ideas by not taking them for yourselves...
I Hate You For Haunting Me- Slash, M/M. Fifteen and not really after much, Adam lives life as lazily as he can. He's failing school, most of his relationships are falling apart and his parents think he's a lost cause. One day while walking home from school, Adam runs into a very uptight, proper younger boy that seems to be the complete opposite of him. It's hate at first sight, making Adam want to run far away from the kid. But when he runs into him again a few days later, he runs through him. Turns out the kid is a ghost, and Adam is the only one that can see him! Stuck with him now, Adam thinks his life is over... Until he learns more about the ghost's, a boy named Sai's, mysterious past... and he is inexpicably drawn to him until they're... attempting to touch each other...!? Well, besides their budding relationship, it's up to Adam to help Sai move on... whether it be to go to the afterlife or continue life as a human, Adam must help him find his way. It seems hopeless to get what he wants, until one day, he finds the living piece of Sai... that's more far gone than the ghost is. Can Adam get Sai out of his eternal sleep and back to life? Well, if they're ever going to do that touching they might as well...
Infectious Smiles- Slash, M/M. The World's Best is the ultra-popular TV Show that, every season, auditions hopeful singers and narrows them down to 24, then by 4 each time until 12, and by 1 each all the way down to 1. Now in its eighth season, people think its getting old and boring... until the next contestants seem to be the best yet. One such hopeful is David Carey, a cute, always-smiling sixteen year old who's voice seems to move the crowd to tears... especially the female population. Another is Chad Buckley, seventeen, cunning and very gay with a voice that surprises everyone at seventeen, he's in it to win it. So if that means latching onto a poor, confused David then that's what Chad has to do. Drawing David into a relationship, Chad may just sabotage his biggest threat... until David's best friend Avery enters the picture and finally reveals the feelings he's always hidden for his best friend. Normally Chad would steal David back, but when the cunning contestant finds himself actually attracted to the love-tortured Avery, a love triangle is started that may just tear the show, and them, apart before the next Best Singer is crowned. So, the million dollar question is, who will win not the title of Best Singer, but the heart of the poor David? A best friend who has loved him since they were children, or a cunning rival who finds himself falling for his own rival for David's affections? Tune into Season Eight of The World's Best to find out!!
Anyone Else But You- Slash, M/M. They both hate each other, they both fight with each other whenever they get the chance and, most importantly, they're both boys... However, when their fathers, two noblemen at odds because of an old family feud decide to reconcile and seal the deal of peace with a marriage... they didn't think it would be them getting married off... to each other! Caden, son of the Duke of York and Leo, son of the Earl of Kingsbridge are to be married... and the problem is... they hate each other. But after being forced to sleep in the same bed and live in the same house... that may just change... if an appalled public, a disapproving king and enraged church don't tear them apart first, that is... Set in the Middle Ages, not that accurate.

His dad doesn't pay any attention to him and his mom is dead, leaving him to fester in his resentment and misbehaving.

And what happens when Andrew begis to develop some feelings for his handsome and kind kidnapper? Read to find out
All Because of Wrestling- Slash, M/M. Brandorge. Just because he eats with girls, takes pride in his appearance, hits on too many 'fag hags' and smiles whenever he sees George in the hallway does NOT mean Brandon is gay. Okay, people have called him metro before but... he may admit to that... and no one questioned him... Until one day when George called him short AGAIN, he told him he could wrestle and that he'd gladly take him on... It seemed that George had all the blood in his body rush to his face as he coughed compulsively, the guys staring at him in shock and the girls suddenly coming to him for advice... What the hell!? So what, he likes wrestling! That doesn't mean he's GAY... Then why, after so long, are his friends looking at him differently, why are the only girls that hit on him admire his 'feminine qualities', why do the guys keep their distance, the gay kids offering him their support...? And why, after months of being a timid, sarcastic and negative ass, is George suddenly wanting to be around him so much? Why is he sweet and more interested than ever? And why... is Brandon enjoying it!?
Atonement- Slash, M/M. On an unnaturally cool summer's day in 1919 England, a young girl witnesses a passionate scene between her older brother and the servant's son. From this one sighting and many others, a series of unforunate, hateful events spiral downwards and tear apart two young lovers by a false accusation of horrible proportions. While one of the young lovers is put on trial for a crime he did not commit, the other grapples with telling his family the truth and having them expell him from their lives and staying silent and losing his love forever as his younger sister testifies against his lover. In a society that says that such love is a crime, two lovers, seventeen year old Jacob and sixteen year old Edward come to terms with what they feel and if it is worth fighting for.
Lie Yourself Out Of This One- Slash, M/M and some F/F. Mia is the hotshot defense attorney everyone wants as their lawyer. She's thirty-three, happily married to a stay-at-home dad who takes care of their teenage son, has lots of clients who come to her for anything and pay her the big bucks to get them out of, and she's beautiful. But, like most people, she has a secret that threatens her livelihood today. Going through an early midlife crisis doesn't help things, considering you're doubting what exactly you're doing defending the rich, famous and guilty from the law's judgment. And then, your son starts sleeping around... with people of the same gender. And then you have lots of blackmail arriving on your front porch. So, what's a poor defense lawyer to do? Start over, of course! Dump that leech of a husband, send all those rich clients to hell pack up your things, forcibly make your son follow, and hit the road with all the money you've been saving. And go back home...? To the woman you loved? Well, yeah... but she's married now. And you just can't get over that. But, you're a lawyer! You always get your way... right?
Amnesia Makes A Good Ice Breaker- Slash, M/M. Brandon is a happy guy. He's sixteen, has a 4.0 grade point average in one of the best schools in the country, very intelligent, has a lot of friends and he's cute. But appearances can be deceiving. Brandon is almost always on the verge of a nervous breakdown; his mother is being mentally abused by his step father, his grades seem to be finally slipping and his friends are beginning to avoid him. So, who's going to save Brandon? Certainly not George; sixteen, sarcastic, carefree and silent. Brandon hates George. He'd never want anything to do with him... But if George doesn't remember the things that make him George, can he help him then? When George hits his head after a suicide-like attempt, Brandon makes the mistake of sticking around the nurse's office to see if his enemy is okay... only to discover that George remembers absolutely nothing... and he's decided that Brandon is his friend... his best friend. At first Brandon resists, but this guy isn't George... he's naive, trusting, sweet and empathetic... and exactly what can turn Brandon's destructive life upside down. So what happens when Brandon begins to fall for George? A whole lot of something, that's what. Brandorge.
Reality- Slash, M/M. Dominic lives a seemingly semi-perfect existance. He has decent grades, friends he's beginning to outgrow and a loving family. So why is he bored with this life? One day; one seemingly boring, monotonous day, Dominic literally runs into a redheaded boy... A chance encounter like this shouldn't determine the outcome of your life, should it? But was it really random? The redheaded rebel begins to show Dominic exactly what it is he's missing, what he can have and what a sham his 'existance' really is... But does going 'back' to reality really what Dominic wants? Will it really be better than living in a dream? Or is it a lot more dangerous?
Can't Feel Anything But You- Slash, M/M. Shawn is a sociopath. He is incapable of feeling emotions and enjoys inflicting that which he cannot feel on others, most of all pain. So what happens when Shawn meets someone that he suddenly feels something for? Meet Ramses; confident, caring, loving, empathetic and above all, something that gets under Shawn's unfeeling skin. So, after a one night stand Shawn tries to use as an outlet for these unwanted emotions, why does he still feel them? Even stronger now, too. Can this one person be the thing that helps Shawn become human; to feel? One thing's for sure; the love Shawn is beginning to feel for Ramses will make him feel something that not many people get to fell; love. And above all, a spectrum of human emotions as his relationship with the young man forces him to feel.
FAQs
(no one's asked, but, hell, I'll answer them anyway!)
What does your penname mean? ... It's a character in my work-in-progress that I might or might not publish... I did not get this from the show Avatar: The Last Airbender (yes, I've been asked...) I really don't know why I chose that name, it was just unique and stuff and I loved it! So there!
Will you ever give up on one of your fics? Depends... but most of the time I will NEVER EVER give up on one of them! It's unfair to the readers and mean... so I won't do that.
Why don't you ever tell about your statistics (name, age, race, etc.)? Does it matter? Really, will you like my writing more if you knew what my name was, how old I was, if I was black or white or anything in between? No, you wouldn't. You're either a good writer or you're not; better to remain anonymous and be judged on my writing, not what I am.
Why are you writing slash and other things like it? Honestly? I'm trying to get accustomed to writing it. I was pretty reluctant about writing it and practically forced myself to do so. I need to have no qualms about anything, hence these fics.
Will you post more long-fics at the same time? (Bites lip...) On my FanFiction I made that mistake and I had to go on a two-week hiatus to get back in the zone after I basically burned myself out with too much creative stuff. I can't promise I will or I won't; I don't know if I might need a breath of fresh air to get me back in the game. But, I can tell you that the most I'll ever be juggling at one time is two... maybe three.
Will you ever post oneshots? Yup! But sparodically. Maybe I'll get an urge to write something short and sweet every once and a while... so I really can't tell you when I will. It depends on the muses and stuff... okay, maybe if the writing bug bites me I'll spend an entire week posting oneshots... maybe not. Once again, it depends...
Do you know where your fics are going when you start them? Pretty much, yes. When I start a fic I have the general idea where it's going. I will never discontinue a fic that I run into a dead end in... I'll find a way to end it, okay?
Why do you stick to romance? Because I'm a hopeless romantic. Well, that and that I write best while meticulously planning out relationships and romance that makes your heart fuzzy... I do love romance, as you can probably tell...
