Birthday: October 3, 1991 (you do the math)
I'm always looking for ways to get inspired. Tvtropes seemed like some good inspiration, so I decided to lay down some roots here.
I'm a Hawaiian *
with a dash of Filipino and a pinch of New Yorker
born in England and at present living in Texas. But one day (if I'm still using this site), you'll all learn that I will have made it back to my real roots! (in Hawaii)
Alter ego of Camron Song.
My tropes for myself:
✓'d summaries are done
X'd ones may need better titles
(★'d ones need consideration...)
1. Present Plausible

★ Argent Park - An alpha wolf leads his pack viciously and would do anything to keep it safe. His second-in-command however is uncertain of his brother's leadership and thinks he should take a new direction.

✓ Inspiration II: Writer's Block - Zachary Tames is looking for something to write about as a personal project. He explores the cliques of his school to sniff out ideas, but only succeeds in developing some new enemies and turning away the girl he likes. Soon, he realizes that inspiration may not have been what he needed...
✓ Hard Press - A high school sophomore decides to join the school paper to get a peek at what a career in journalism looks like, but he gets lost in the drama among head editor Damien, co-editor and Damien's ex-girlfriend Sarah, Damien's best friend and sports columnist Jared, snobby advice columnist Stacey, and the rest of the Weekly Observer staff.
✓ The Duke of Pop - Duke McBrian is America's biggest male teen pop star. His manager Calvin believes that he can get even bigger, so he takes the singer across the country in search of promising backup dancers. At one school, Duke finds someone who catches his eye rather quickly.

✓ Shot - Danielle is a babysitter who's never been able to hold down a boyfriend her age. In time, she begins to flirt with the young boys she sits, eventually long enough for their friendships to become sexual.

Soon she becomes desperate, looking for how to make her money and come away looking innocent.
2. Future Considered

Miranda, his best friend and fellow classmate Garet Marshall, his close friend civilian Connor Delaney, and the eccentric but brilliant Athena University professor and retired military scientist Cassandra Progene, he takes off to the planet to get some answers.

✓★ Match Point- Lyle Griffith is a veteran player in a virtual reality game popular among city youths.

Now Reese tries to learn about his power, others like him with the same ability, and the beings who want to erase him.
