Latest Chapters out:

Part 2 of Twins

Hello! I'm Stanleylouis. Stanley Louis is my kitten, and he's gray and white (points to profile picture). I love to write, although I only have three stories at the moment... I'm a girl, about 5'8'', reddish-blonde hair... My name's Maddie, and I love cats. That's all you really need to know. :)

News: 11/3: Ho hum... I haven't put anything on here in a while, sorry. Trying to read the Odyssey at the moment...

10/22 (I believe): I got a new computer!! WOO HOO!! Technically we're just borrowing it for the moment, but oh well. I'll be able to get out more chapters now!

10/ ... Something or another... 20th? Something: My computer has died on me. I don't know if it's completely gone from this world, but at the moment it looks like it. So, THAT MEANS... I won't be putting much out any time soon. I hope that we might get it fixed this week, but it might be gone for good. I'm on my dad's laptop at the moment, and that's the only way I'll be able to do anything besides getting on here with my iPod, which can't upload anything anyway. So... Yes. I'm sorry, you guys! I feel so bummed.

Oh, also! I just realized that I actually HADN'T put out my second part of Twins like I thought I had, I had just written it. And since if the computer does come back to us it'll be wiped... I won't have it. Twins is one of the only stories I don't have a hard copy on, because it's too annoying to write it that way. Anyways. Gah! I'm so frazzled...

10/11: I put out my next sections on Twins and Monica, so go read them! My computer is super slow, and we had to clean it, which is why I haven't put anything out before now... Sorry. But now I'm all excited, because it's running faster! Yipee!

10/10: Ha ha, just realized it's my brother's birthday today! How about that!

I put out my first section of Twins last night. Unfortunately, it wouldn't let me have any of my spacing on there, so it's just one big long line... I'm going to see if I can change that.

~~NEXT CHAPTERS OUT: Part 3 of Twins, Chapter 3 of Monica, Prologue of To Live 9 Lives

I have decided to put myself on a little quest, which involves writing something in every category on fictionpress. This includes both stories and poems, for (although I am not the best) I do write poetry every once in a while.

This is a rather stupid idea on my part because I have a bunch of school work and lots of things planned for this year, but I never told myself that I was that sensible anyway.

I really hope that I won't piss anybody off with my ideas of writing in all of the categories. "What, are you saying that you wrote something spiritual and you didn't actually mean it?" No, I stand behind everything I write, even if it is crap. It's my crap. :D

Why and I doing this? Not any reason in particular. I do want to be able to finish things completely (something I'm not very good at) so this'll be a good exercise for me. This'll also show me what genre I'm the best at.

I plan for this to take a very long time, but I'm patient, and I will conquer. Whoot! :D

Okay, here's the ideas I have so far:

1) Action- My story that I've been working on for forever, Black Glass. The chapters in this are going to be rather awkward, because I wrote them very long... So I'm going to have to split them up so that people aren't reading 20,000 word chapters. :)

2) Spiritual- This'll be fun... I don't actually have a religion. No, that does not mean I don't believe in God. Like most people, I tend to shrink away from any religious terms/passages/speaking, but this also doesn't mean I'm against it. One of my best friend's is Christian, and even though I don't exactly agree with the religion, I'm still fine with her talking about how she feels about it, as long as she doesn't give me passages to read or something. :D Okay... I have no longing to talk about this on my profile, so I'll leave it to my story/thoughts, Spiritual Musings. This will be out... Sometime, I still have to work on it. :D

3) Historical- A story about the Pruitt-Igoe Project called Decay. Lovely title, right? Anyways.

I don't really know if my beta for this will get back to me... I'm afraid I might have frightened her off... :D

4) Horror-It's called Monica, and it's a horror/tragedy/romance-y? kinda thing. I'm not that good at horror, but I'll try to do it justice.

5) Play- ... I had this idea in mind called Paradise about these animal spirits in a woods, but I was also thinking about having a historical play about philosophers and why they got so dang loony. :) Don't know what I'll pick...

6) Family- This is a poem called Twins. I'm putting it under Family because I don't know where else it would go. It's about a pair of twins, and one of them dies in a car accident while the other deals with the shock. I myself am a twin, and when I showed my sister the poem she kinda backed away slowly... :D

7) Mythology- To Live Nine Lives is a story where a female shapeshifter (forest nymph kinda person) gets in trouble with the others on Mount Olympus, and has to live many lives to try to learn her lesson, switching from time period to time period and causing widespread havoc. In one of these times, though, she meets a 21-st century man named Gage who steals her heart and breaks down her distemperment and harsh exterior. Yah... Isn't that a great summary... I felt like fluffballs were coming out of my ears when I was writing it. :D

I've been working on this, and I'm excited on how it'll turn out!

And... That's it. If you have any suggestions... :)

I have most of my writings on Fanfiction.net, just because I've been there longer. Go read them if you want to!

For Fictionpress, I decided that I'm going to put out more constructive criticism, because I hope that while finding things that other people can work on in their stories, I can also learn to work on my stories as well. I always have the story as a whole in mind when I review.

Favorite Artists: My Chemical Romance, all-time favorite; I like older ones, like They Might be Giants and The Pogues; and I also like random ones like Jimmy Eat World, Cute is What We Aim For, etc...

Favorite Color: Blue/Black

Favorite Animal: I LOVE cats!! I have three, a fat tuxedo, a black neurotic siamese, and a gray-and-white kitten (Stanley). I'm not going to go into any more detail here, because I've been known to spend whole essays about myself on my cats. :D

Favorite Fruit: Raspberry. This also applies under favorite pie/cobbler. :D

Favorite Books: Gah, I'm never good at this. I like... hmm... Well, I like a lot of books, but I can never remember them specifically. My favorite of all time would have to be the Bartimaeus trilogy, just because I love how it was written and all of the djinnis crack me up! :) I love all types of books: classics, fluff, fiction, Jane Austen novels... Everything. :D

Nickname: Maddie.

Favorite Movies: Moulin Rouge, Pan's Labyrinth, Howl's Moving Castle, Love Actually

Favorite Stories: I REALLY love sad endings. I usually enjoy a story more if it's a sad ending than a happy one, altho I also like the types where it shows how people deal with it. However, that doesn't mean that I won't enjoy a happy ending as well! As long as it's written well. :)

Favorite Comedian: Eddie Izzard. He's hilarious! Although, he might not be for everyone... He's an English transvestite. :D

A little about me: I'm in high school, I'm a twin, I love cats (I know I already put that up there! :D) I play the violin, and my favorite activities include playing with said cats, playing said violin, reading (a lot), and stress-relieving writing.

My first story out was called Coo. It's a story I wrote a while ago on a whim, about one of the many times my cats brought in a live bird. I don't really know what the underlying message in it is. Don't be killed by cats?

As I said above, I have a new story out called Monica. It's about a boy called Peter who's 16 and in high school. A girl that he doesn't really know but that goes to his school dies in a car accident, and he doesn't know how to react, especially when one of her friends tells him that Monica had really liked him. Maybe he's paranoid, but he seems to see an image of her at the window that day... That night is the first time she comes to his room.

Bum bum bum...

I have a poem called Twins. I have very little idea of where this'll go, so I'm even less sure on how long it'll be. I'm guessing around 5 or 6 parts, but I could be off...

Anyways, there's my profile. I'm sorry, it's so disjointed, and self-centered at points, but there you go, all laid-out. Hope to hear from you!
