I love love love fantasy stories...Heck...I've read all of Tamora Pierce, Terry Pratchett, Diana Wynne Jones!
My inspiration draw mostly from my strange dreams though...they provide a lot of basis for the scenarios in my stories. I've been writing since forever, my english (me being not English native-speaking ) wasn't that good then, but I'll upload if I can.
I read manga too. Currently my fave is Perfect Girl Evolution. Reading tons of other shoujo mangas like Parfait Tic, Special A., Love Monster just to name some.
I'm still confounded by how similar mine and Confuzzld-me's interests are! Omigosh! We both like writing, both of us would like to be illustrators! Both of us likes Sunako from Perfect Girl Evolution, Daiya from Parfait Tic & hates his cousin Ichi! Wow oO. (By the way, go check out her story Frogs, Warts & Kisses. It's pretty cute )
Update:
04/09/08: Princess Camellia deserves better, so I'll stop uploading at Chapter 9 and re-write it at another time. Meanwhile, I've uploaded chapter 24 of Die With Me. One chapter of White Chrysanthemum was also been uploaded.
20/08/08: Uploaded prelude to White Chrysanthemum, "Princess Camellia" for your entertainment :D. This was written back in 2000, way before White Chrysanthemum was written. Again, it's a totally different style than any of my stories. When I first started on the story, I was experimenting with adjectives opposed to the original White Chrysanthemum which had more action to the storyline. In the meantime, I'm contemplating chapter 23 for Die With Me.
19/08/08: Just uploaded chapter 22 of Die with Me. Have finished uploading Moving Heaven and Earth. Enjoy!
10/08/08: Die with Me has hit 20 chapters, and I'm running out of verbs, and adjectives. Especially verbs. So I will be rewriting chapter 21 for the third time. In the meantime, please enjoy the first 2 chapters of my super old story (completed way back in 1999) Moving Heaven and Earth, which I will be uploading slowly.
10/06/08: 15th chapter for Die With Me is out! 6 months and counting.
07/12/07: The Other Prince has been completed after surviving a year and a half and 3 jobs.
Current Projects:
White Chrysanthemum: This is my baby First written when I was 14 or 16?, and currently being vetted and rewritten. The story revolves around the end of a prolonged war for the throne, between two families - Schlusig and Luchsieria. Schlusig is wiped out by the Luchsieria through "dishonourable methods", leaving a single survivor, Averisa Schlusig, who tries to plot vengeance.
Trivia: When I was writing this story one night, I was 'visited' by 'something'. It's up to you to believe or not believe, but this is what happened. I was typing one of the chapters somewhere in the middle of the story when there was a breeze and a strong scent that smelled of shower gel rose. I thought nothing of it except for silently wondering who would bath at that time of the night (around 10pm) and totally forgetting that the room was nowhere near a bathroom. really. Then out of a corner of my eye, I saw something whitish behind me from the reflection of the bookcase glass. I ignored it, and eventually it disappeared.
Rated M for gore, violence, excessive swearing, inciting hate and discrimination, implying how babies are made and perhaps some illicit scenes (perhaps, depends on whether I add it after I edit)
Die With Me: A fantasy based on a role-playing section of now-defunct digitalrpg.com. This story was crafted by many people at the forums, and I'm merely stitching it all up and adding some extras in it. It revolves around a bunch of people running around trying to save the world from vampires and crazy necromancer (really, there's only necromancer). Involved in the war are dragon people, fox demon goddess, thieves, zombies, dead bodies and murdered calefares. Oh, don't forget humans.
Rated T for fighting scenes, some violence, gross stuff and mild swearing. And oh, some nudity with fur/scales etc.
Princess Camellia: Camellia has always lived a sheltered life, but that quickly came to an end, when a sorcerer attacks the kingdom, leaving her as the sole survivor. A prelude to White Chrysanthemum, the story revolves around Averisa's (White Chrysanthemum) ancestor, and marks the beginning of many wars to come. For now, it is simply, Camellia's story.
Princess Camellia was written back in 2000. At that time, I was experimenting with adjectives as opposed to complex storyline, so expect a different feel from any other stories hosted here.
Rated T for fighting scenes, some violence and gross stuff. And loads of crying over dead people.
Completed Projects:
The Other Prince: A story revolving a first-view telling of a forgotten prince who observes first hand, the events leading up to the waking of Sleeping Beauty. It follows Perrault's original casting, with the prince who woke sleeping beauty as half-ogre (actually Perrault just watered down some soft-pornish, violent story and made it into fairytale. You can wiki/google it up.) and sticks at that fact. I'd wanted to give some details to the prince's background and how, some things got so exaggerated that they became myths and legends (or in this case, fairytale). The story also attempts to piece together random and everchanging facts of the sleeping beauty.
Moving Heaven and Earth: Written and completed in 1999. This very short story revolves around a girl who keeps dreaming of drowning. If you're looking for a story with grand plot like The Other Prince, you might be disappointed.
Rated T for "God", drowning and reincarnations...or sort of.
