What Are You Writing?

I'm practicing writing mindscrews. I think I'm getting pretty good at it.

I'm working on the webcomic Boy Aurus. Immortal boy travels the world, making friends, and insisting the world is a good place.

I'm also working on a novel called Cured about a Vampire Girl who used to be an Ill Girl. She travels the world trying to rebuild her low self-esteem and find her place in the world.

And I'm also working on another comic called Landon & Wolff about the FBI fighting supernatural crime in a society that hasn't had a masquerade since WWII. It's my first go into alternate history (usually I just do Fantasy Counterpart Culture and claim all the anachronisms and idiosyncrasies are totally on purpose...) except I keep digging myself into a world building hole because I want to explain everything to a point of having names for Supreme Court decisions over how to treat vampires and werewolves and whatnot. Except I feel like I need to understand US law better and I have an incredible temptation to e-mail the FBI because I can't decide if the interior of the Los Angeles field office should be excessively slate blue like I've rendered it... And I periodically get crippling self-doubt that someone has done this before and better.

I’m trying to right an After the End novel. I’m really hope that someday there is a Film of the Book because that’s how I see it in my head.

I'm working on quite a few things intermittently, but they all take place in the same world (except for a pokemon fanfic that got in there somehow). The two main things are a) a dead hell-bound girl being given a chance to walk the earth again to find out what happened to her (adoptive) little brother while in the company of a war veteran who has a mission of his own, and b)a mother's journey to rescue her children from a noble who's taken them in an attempt to gain a large chunk of land via a succession crisis.

Original Works

• A script called The Fair-Folk Tale, in which I explore what would happen if The Fair Folk were real and came to North America with the Europeans who believe in them. ...And it draws a lot on The Last Unicorn.
• A novel called Island Song, where I just have fun with royalty being royalty, Culture Chop Suey, Mythopoeia, and playing with lots of tropes.
• A novel called Imbas, where I have fun with Celtic Mythology to break the Medieval European Fantasy standard.

Fanfiction:

• Birds of Paradise, where Kingdom Hearts meets Fire Emblem and follows the plot of The Lion King. It is very depressing at first, but it's starting to get better.
• Oblivion, where Kingdom Hearts meets the plot of Beloved. According to some people, it's a REALLY dark interpretation of the standard "Organization 13 as prostitutes" fic. Before I wrote this, I was unaware there was even a standard in the first place. It is very depressing, and apparently scary.
• Hunting The Unicorn, where I draw parallels between Glee and The Last Unicorn to solve a plot-hole of Kurt's characterization—where he goes from having no real problem concerning sex in Season One, to "LALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU" in "Sexy". We all know what that means.
• Mountain Sage and Desert Tiger, a Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones fic about Gerik and Saleh. At first it was just a standard implied-shipping fic, but then I started taking REALLY close looks at Saleh and it somehow led to Saleh becoming a demi-god. And his dad showing up doesn't solve the problems of his mother being VERY long-dead (and that his type-two-immortal dad ALSO died for a while), the horrible mistake he made when he first met Gerik, or how he's currently on a quest to save the fucking world. And he doesn't like how Gerik is always trying to help him with those problems. Y'all know what that means.

...Yeah, my fanfiction is VERY dark.

A [REDACTED] crossover fanfic I promised somebody on the [REDACTED] kink meme.

Drabbles from a Weird West 'verse.

A fanfiction for Kane Chronicles. Also learning how to draw manga (for real) and several other things at once. One of them is doing research for a book written in a post-Apocalypse atmosphere where humans have gained a type of "magic" that can either make them stronger or kill them. More of the latter than the former, though.

I'm working on the same stuff I've posted about here many times before. And (with a few notable exceptions), the project is still roughly in the same place as it was when I started posting about it.

Curse you, ADD: you give me the keys to the universe while ripping off my motivation to make use of them...

Two original series:

• The Hopewell Club: An Affectionate Parody to teen comedies and dramas

• Meet Josh: the life of a former child star; Better Than It Sounds...I hope so .___.

In terms of what's actually written I'm almost done with one story (short a few chapters) called I Can't Die and I'm starting out with its sequel For the Gifted.

Planning wise I have another sequel, some vague ideas for that universe since I realized there's more to it than ghosts and psychic people (All Myths Are True...unfortunately that means I must figure out rules for all these myths) then there's also a couple of comics that are in the early planning stages.

Then there's future plotlines for role play groups...I have way too many characters bouncing around.

I have one main thing that I'm working on, which is Song of Seirre, an epic fantasy graphic novel. I've been working on it in one form or another for longer than is probably healthy. I have a few other story ideas, but they have all ended up being tied into SOS one way or another. Probably I will end up creating an unpublished works page here for it.

@Anthony: Where did you get the name Hopewell?

-that is my grandmother's maiden name-

A noir-ish Touhou detective fanfic, set in Schizo Tech Gensokyo City. Under development. Featuring Remilia and Byakuren as the Dons of warring mafia families, Yuyuko as a media mogul, Yukari as an information broker and Shikieiki as Da Chief.

@cutewithoutthe: To be honest? I thought I made it up, I never knew it was a real name!

orly? :P

It's better as a name anyways~

Well, let me tell you that it sounds REALLY cool

Kinda juggling 3 Gargoyles fics. One is giving back story to a new character. (Drawing to a close) One is about clans getting together for a mating ceremony and the villains causing trouble. (BTW, did you know the word "garrote" is of Spanish origin? The things you learn doing research.) I'm working on another one that has other characters traveling the world a la Avalon World Tour.

InAWorldLikeOurs, a superhero fiction.

"The Ninja Girl", a fiction about a Genre Savvy young man who has become embroiled in a war between Light and Shadow. I think it's going to end up as an Apocalyptic Log He commits a Heroic Sacrifice and the story is actually finished by his younger sister Contains gratuitous Japanese.

"The Curse Bearer" I just started this one. It's the tale of a werewolf who seeks to break his curse. He travels with a young mage woman who seeks to make a name for herself. Originally started as a Dragon Fable fanfic, but it eventually took a life of its own.

"Geeg" (placeholder title): Originally began life as an Empowered fan fiction, but I don't know the actual characters well enough to use them. It tells the story of a cosmic horror that crashes to Earth and eats people. I update this when I get writer's block. It could be seen as a parody of horror stories.
