I have written one fan-fic. It was an assignment for my College Lit. class. So, yes. You can find this by looking up my Homepage.
So, I write my own stories with my own characters (from here on, known as charries). I don't write anything to do with non-fiction . . . that, I've decided, would not be 'normal' as some call it, though I'm just weird anyway.
I can't stand stories that have to do with school. Normal school, anyway. Most of them are boring, and no, I'm not generalizing. I said most.
Or romance. No, absolutely not. I've read too many of those already (all which were by the same author who is simply obsessed.) Her charries were bland and too happy-go-lucky for my taste. (She is not an author on this site.) Give me something more down-to-earth and morbid and I'll be happy. =) I have (after all my complaining) attempted at a bit of girlfriend/boyfriend relationships. Its a part of life and it gives my stories, I think, a bit more conflict.
Ack, I must sound so condescending. . . oops. I'm usually a fun person, I would say. But sometimes (especially on an Internet site) its a bit hard to come across the way I'd like. So I flat out tell everyone who I am and what I'm like.
Name: Kat
Gender: Female
Age: XX (I'd rather not say.)
Writing History: Been writing for three years now and don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
Quote: Don't fall too hard. You'll break your face.
Likes: Writing (of course), reading, cats (I will be the next crazy cat lady, just you wait). Suspenseful stories, sci-fi, action and adventure. Constructive critiquing. Reviews make me happy, occasionally. =) Definitely an up-side. Oh, and the color purple. (And light green and sky blue.) XD
Dislikes: Charries that are not well written--two-dimensional. Romance stories. Uck. And school stories about teens/kids with no special powers/abilities, etc. Site spammers. The color pink. And Hannah Montana. Don't get me started, peeps. -_-"
Favorite Authors: C.S. Lewis, Margaret Peterson Haddix, Scott Westerfeld, Ted Dekker.
Favorite Books: Double Identity, Turnabout, Shadow Children Series (Margaret Peterson Haddix), Black, Red, Infidel, Showdown, Saint (Ted Dekker), Uglies, Pretties, Extras (Scott Westerfeld), The Horse and His Boy, The Last Battle (C.S. Lewis).
Favorite Book of All Time: Skin (Ted Dekker)
Favorite Movies: Pirates of the Caribbean--The Black Pearl, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo (yes, I love it), Monsters Inc. (Boo is adorable), The Incredibles, and The Waterhorse. (As you can see, I don't watch movies very often . . . the more 'adult' ones, anyway. =) )
Favorite Bands/Music: Switchfoot, Toby Mac, Relient K, Apologetix, The Narnia (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) Soundtrack, POTC--The Black Pearl Soundtrack, and The Waterhorse Soundtrack. (Soundtracks are the best writing music, I've found.)
Okay, now for my stories. And I love reviews, peeps! Give me reviews!!
I've decided not to write a summary of the stories I have up (from now on meaning I'm not going through and changing the ones I've already done) and instead, I'm going to start with the first sentence(s) of the story. Summaries always come across as too enthusiastic for my taste and I'd rather someone was hooked from the first sentence than the summary. So, yeah. (And I'm not going to name chapters. Too much work. Bleh.)
God's Tears
Okay, this one was basically an imaginary conversation between me and my 'cousin' after my 'Grandpa' died. (When you read it, you will understand the need for quotations.) Lets just say its what I wish would have happened, not what did, considering the time of year it really happened and the weather conditions, but that's a whole other story. Don't get me started. I'd jabber forever.
Finding Garrett
I wasn't very sure about this one. It was a bit longer, though I didn't split it into chapters. XD That would have been too complicated. But this story was a challenge from my C Lit. teacher. She gave me the starting line and I was supposed to think of a story to go with it. So that's basically what I got. I thought it was cute. Let me know what you think.
(Rated K+ for safety issues. It talks about issues like drunkenness and being run over by a car . . . so, yeah.)
Through a Lion's Eye
I wrote this last year for my teacher. She asked me to write for a 'contest.' That was a lie, because there were no prizes and it had nothing to do with a contest in the first place. But I can't remember what it was for anyway. Ah, well. So this is supposed to be about a 'four-year-old' assassin. =) I lied.
In truth, the main character is kidnapped and begins training as an assassin when he is four years old. That's why I have the dates on the Prologue and the First Chapter, so it lets everyone know whats going on and that time passed since he was kidnapped. I will probably end up changing that somehow because no one seems to get that time passes, though I'm not sure why. This is also the one that I've had the most trouble with, but then again, I have trouble with all my stories. The summary was just an attention-getter. I'm so sneaky, MWAHAHA!!
The Assassin's Heart
This has nothing to do with Through a Lion's Eye. It is a short story that I was experimenting with to get practice description and third person narrative (which I absolutely can not get the hang of it). I'm not really sure what to think of this one. It switches between the two characters perspectives every paragraph, so don't get confused, please. =) I have a tendency to confuse people and I'm working on that, trust me. (And, no, I'm not obsessed with killing.) The assassin thing didn't even occur to me until the very end, and even then, I didn't think it fit the story. (Because, usually, assassins are thought of cold-blooded killers. This character is definitely not that.) Let me know, please.
Anigene Gang
It isn't as violent as some might think when they see the word 'gang' and it might be more violent than necessary, but it's all a part of the story. 'Anigene' is a term used in Through a Lion's Eye, though this story is not related to it at all. The Anigene is an experiment used to create hybrids children. Most of the main charries in Anigene Gang are part of the Anigene experiment, hence the name 'Anigene Gang.'
Okay this story has all of the main charries from my main story series, called Gemini and I'd rather not post it, because, first off, it isnt' NEAR finished and, second, I'm pretty paranoid about . . . stuff.
Alright, and here's the update! I actually went through and named the chapters--collective gasp--which was pretty hard. I'm absolutely positive that most of those titles didn't fit. But, ah well. But I updated, yes!
