Hi there,

You lookin for me? Chances are I'm chillaxin' in the Review Game. Most likely in the Off Topic, but there's the For Fun threads, the Beta Network, the Artist Author Trade, and of course the Review Games. And we even host the Review Marathon once a month. I'm tellin' you that forum has everything you're looking for and more. Swing on by why don't ya? Can't wait to see you there :P

About Me

So I'm Nicki BluIs.

This is basically an extension of my writing portfolio. I needed a place to showcase my writing but did not feel comfortable including fiction in my official portfolio (which is mostly op – ed type articles). A friend suggested this site so here I am.

Forums I Love

The Review Game

Dialogue Play Forum

Another Writing Site

A Piece of Your Mind - It's like that camping game... where someone starts the story and each person adds a bit to it. Very new site but lots of fun so far.

My Projects

TTYL: Okay. So I started this a loooong time ago and almost ditched it until a friend read and did an extensive review and convinced me it was worth finishing. Sigh. In the process, I realized that there are several things that I need to fix about it. Double sigh. However, I suppose the bright side to all this is that hope is not lost for people who actually are following this story. Also, it has come to my attention tht there is a book with the same title and format by Lauren Myracle. I haven't read it, so I really hope the subject-matter isn't too similar. Regardless, I'm going to continue the story since I have no intentions for it beyond FictionPress. Anyway! Bear with me peoples! Hopefully it will be worth the wait!

UPDATE: Gigglebug is beta-ing Kym's oneshot for me! That should be done in a month or so, depending on midterms and whatnot. Afterthat I'll post Chap 4 which I've already started. :D 11/6/2008

UPDATE: I have posted the first chap of "TTYL: Meet Kymberlee Ann Conner" WOOT! 12/15/2008

UPDATE: Chap 4 is up! Woot! Also Interrobang drew this picture of Kym for me :) 03/22/2009

UPDATE: MAJOR OVERHAUL taking place. Like OMG! Sigh. This may take a while :( 08/28/2009

Bridezilla: This story is about Kris Rainer and Ana Montoya and the strain engagement puts on their relationship. I love these two and I'm having a blast writing their love story. Gotta admit I'm havin' a rough patch. I don't like it when they fight... I'll most likely write a couple of one shots covering the history of their relationship.

UPDATE: I just changed the title to "With Love" from the Hilary Duff's song by the same name. I think the lyrics summarize Kris and Ana's relationship really well. Listen to it here. 9/3/2008

UPDATE: Unfortuanately I have made the decision to put this story on hiatus until TTYL is done. It seems I can't multitask as well as I thought. 1/9/2009

Review Game Fanfic(s): Yeah. It's just a fun thing to do. The RG is chock-full of craziness so it's a great way for me to practice writing... and not feel terrible about flaking on my other stories :)

UPDATE: I posted the first chapter of "Manuel" last night. Yay! There should be another chap coming... eventually :) 2/25/2009

UPDATE: OMG. It's finished. YAY!! 6/1/2009

Poems: This not really a project so much as my venting mechanism. I'm not very good at poetry but it makes me feel better when I'm sad. Once my head is clear though, the inspiration is gone and so I don't edit. So this is a shout out to anyone who has reviewed or will review my poems: Yes, I'm feeling better now. Thank you :D
