Hey! These are some of the poetry and short stories I've written in the past three or four years. Please read, hopefully enjoy, and leave me reviews. Don't be generic - flames or flattery, whatever you feel. If you have a fictionpress account, I'd be glad to review yours too.

My recommendations ... *drumroll*

Guess I should start with Esliim Karnth, cause he kinda got me started on fictionpress. He NEVER updates and he reviews things like once in a blue moon, but his pieces are usually good. 'Specially "Seven Storms," gotta love that. Even though I do rip them to shreds. But I tend to do that ... Also he's my sorta-half-cousin (don't ask).

Skiv ... *bursts into spontaneous laughter* Oh gosh. She writes some of the best random, hilarious things I've ever read in my life. "Random Outburst" is the best, me thinks. She's another sorta-half-cousin (again, don't ask. Don't worry, that's all the sorta-half-cousins you'll have to worry about. Don't let it keep you up nights or anything...)

Ahrar Nighthammer is another friend, a very good "up-and-coming"writer. 'Specially "Nighthammer." Although I also (sigh) tear that to pieces on a regular basis too. Oh and "Graveyards and Gluesticks" is awesome too. Probably the awesomer 'cause I know exactly what he's talking about... Ever chew glue? Not sniff. Chew. Hotglue sticks. If you rotate it constantly as you're chewing it, it turns into a hollow cylinder. Very cool, if you're into that sort of thing. Another one of the wonderful things Esliim has introduced me to.

If y'all spot typos/bad spelling, please tell me, k? Also, sometimes fictionpress won't let me put my poetry into stanzas like I want to. So if you read a really long poem that wasn't broken up into stanzas, that's probably what happened.

Graveyards and Gluesticks by Ahrar Nighthammer reviews
A general collection of strange rants and fatuous, incoherent idiocy. Just a little vent for some of my nonsensical stuff. Tell me what you think. Now rated PG for rather bitter content. Shrug

Random Outburst by Skiv reviews
It's as the title said. A random outburst. It's just going up because I made the mistake of showing Kishana Mornai and she told me too under pain of death... Or something like that...
