Chai
Thanks for stopping by the profile of Chai. I am an aspiring fantasy writer. I started writing when I was in Junior High (at the age of 12) and I have grown tremendously (with the help of my reading and English teachers) over the last eight years in my writing.
Downcast:
-adjective
1. Directed downward, as the eyes
2. dejected in spirit; depressed
-noun
3. overthrow or ruin
4. a downward look or glance
A few things to note regarding my work:
-My current favorite genres include sci-fi, romance, tragedy, and mystery.
-My writing often includes dark (evil) against light (good), downfall of the light (good), ironic twists, unexpected complications, deep character thought, vivid (sometimes emotional) description, a complex storyline, satirical moments, questionable views, incomplete thoughts which are later revealed in whole, and much more.
-My characters are never without flaws. There are no "perfect" characters in my writing.
-My favorite themes in writing are supernatural entities (other-world beings, deviant human beings, angels, vampires, spellcasting beings, living curses, entirely imagined beings, etc.) who are usually searching (for something or someone), fighting (in war, friendly battle, training, to diminish threat, etc.), journeying, discovering, all through which they learn more about themselves and the other characters. During this process, the overall plot thickens, twists, comes to a climax, and revelations are, well, realized.
-There may (and probably will be) adult content, themes, and/or suggestions in my writing. My stories are not suitable for children or young teenagers. Explicit scenes are either edited out, removed, or were never existent.
-There may (and probably will be) controversial/disputable/questionable content, themes, and morals present in my writing. It is best to read my work with an open-mind. If you are easily offended, I do not recommend reading my stories.
-I prefer first person (I, me, my, etc), third person (she, he, his, etc) and occasionally third person omniscient.
Completed Stories:
Note: The following stories are already written in complete entirety. However, this was accomplished before I joined FictionPress. Therefore, I will be adding only a couple of chapters each day, as not to overwhelm.
Note: Everything I publish on FictionPress is written by me and me alone.
Note: I removed the following stories from FictionPress because I recieved the feedback I was looking for and may pursue publishing in the future.
The Night Crew (T) (406 pages; 245,472 words; 2 prologues; 40 chapters; 1 epilogue).
The Night Crew: Another Story (T) (340 pages; 194,388 words, prologue; 26 chapters; epilogue).
Works in Progress:
These are my current incomplete works.
Tox (M) This is a story written in first person. Though Tox is an independent (read-alone) story, it still features characters from TNC and TNC 2 so I will refrain myself from releasing too much detail. The protagonist is a twenty-year-old college-going female who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, discovering much more than she'd expected. Notes regarding Tox: This is not a vampire novel, though it's predecessors are. Tox will not be posted until it is completed.
Hindered Hope (T) This story is written in parts, each a couple of years apart. Hindered Hope begins when Karen, a fourteen-year-old girl, and her pregnant mother are chased by an unidentified group of "bounty hunters" clad in red. They are forced to jump into a gorge, where Karen's fight for her and her younger brother's survival begins. Note regarding HH: This novel contains (but isn't focused solely on) vampires. HH will be completed, possibly after Tox.
About Chai:

Enjoy my stories. That is why I write them.
