story~ you won't be mine
about~ you won't be mine by matchbox 20 is prince nolryn's song, and it perfectly sums up his sentiments regarding nimay's rejection of his proposal, so~ i had to name it that. actually wrote it on saturday, but the ending and a good portion of the middle was just... not happening, so i fixed it. i hope. still seems a bit jumpy, but whatever.

story~ bastet and a locked box
about~ my title is so original. Anyway, challenge set forth by sallie, which was strangely enough "bastet annnnnnnd.... hmm... a locked box." so here it is. written, as you can see, at 3am and hence not my best, but whatever. gets the job done ^^

comments~ make one?
story~ See the Sun
about~ This~ is the history of Raykin, where Silent Harmony will eventually be set. A tale of lies and deceit and magic and other lovely stuff, yay! Has the slightest spoiler, but seriously, I'm sick of trying to keep it secret and keep track of who I've told and who I haven't, so there you go, 'tis out in the open now. Story of Raykin, hurrah!

comments~ 1 ~ make one?
story~ The Price of Freedom
about~ English Imaginative Writing piece. I rea~lly wanted to do something with the twins or at least the bastid or Bastet, but the thing is they all require background knowledge and/or one helluva lot more than 1000 words to tell their story. So here's some random chick who's ended up being part of the Raykin legend. Some stuff's been repeated from other writings, but that's just so the SSABSA dudes and my teacher know what I'm on about XD; Comments, crits, whatever are welcome as per usual ^^

warnings~ bit of gore, not too graphic tho
about~ I'm not in a morbid mood, really ^^; Um, yeah, dunno how exactly I thought of this one. Don't have a lot to say about it really, 'cept that it doesn't mean squat... Erm... yeah XD;;;

comments~ make one?
story~ The Beginning
about~ This was originally going to be pretty much the first chapter of Silent Harmony, but I've since decided that thw whole story needs revision, so this is just going to be a stand-alone thing now. Might keep it in the story in full, might just chop it down to a paragraph or two, I dunno. 'Til then tho, here's how the twins got their magic ^^ As always, comments or constructive critisism is more than welcome, thankies!

Yasur ~ Original (for English)

time~ 11:04pm
comments~ make one?
story~ Yasur
about~ Yus, 'nother English thing. This was originally going to be our supervised recount writing practice, for which we could use the computer, but naturally, the power would choose that time to cut out, so we had to do them at home instead. This is mine, based on the topic "I loved going there," before editing, because you see, kawa~ doesn't have a word limit, but SSABSA has one of 1000 words with a 100 word lee-way. This is currently 1438 long. Gawd how I hate word limits >< Oh, one thing to begin with, a this is a ute, and the Southern Expressway is a freeway/highway/whatever you want to call it going between Adelaide and the southern suburbs. Piccies not taken by me, but they could've been, cos I've seen it all X)

comments~ make one?
story~ Night
about~ Was trying to get to sleep last night and couldn't because of a light coming in my room through the curtains. See, we've got this light on the balcony that gets left on overnight sometimes and it seriously pisses the hell out of me, so much so that I decided to get out of my nice~ warm~ electric blanket-warmed bed to turn it off. Only it wasn't on. Looked out my window and discovered it was the moon, so that's where this comes from.

story~ So Cold...
about~ Whee~ lookit the time =D I've got writer's block on all three of my novel-stories, so I figured I'd give myself a bit of a challenge to try and get rid of it. Didn't work, but was fun to do anyway ^^ Just picked a topic I felt like writing about (solitude), did a search on gettyimages.com for it and came up with this picci. A picture's worth 1000 words, apparently. Well, given that it was about 2am when I started this, this one's only got 577 words attached to it XDD;;; Whee~ I'm so funny~~


Assassin ~ Original

time~ 5:45pm
comments~ make one?
story~ Assassin
about~ This is just a piece of writing based around Nimay (who made her first appearence here), and I'm writing it cos I'm lacking in Microsoft Word, so I can't work on the actual story, so I'll just write a background thing instead. Tada~

story~ A Stroke of Luck
about~ Was originally going to be a replacement for Searching, cos it was basically not original enough. Can't argue with that X) So yah, was going to put this in for Narrative Text Production, then learnt it had to be realistic, at which point I decided to scrap the whole idea of writing something and just printed off some original bits of writing from kawa~ to show her, to which she said "=DD This is fantastic! Why didn't you show me this stuff before? =DD" Seriously, her words *^^* A~nyhoozle, decided to finish this one since I only had a paragraph or two to go, and put it on kawa~. Lyrics are from A Stroke of Luck by Garbage. Enjoy ^^

time~ 9:34pm
comments~ 1 ~ make one?
story~ Searching
about~ 'Nother English thing under the heading "Text production: narrative", aka creative writing X) No topic, just 500-1000 words. How anybody can write a short story with a point in 500 words is beyond me, but there you go.

about~ Kitty girl who recently took up residence in my head *nods like this is normal* Well, Bryce Courtnay says he gets voices in his head, and he's a bloody successful writer, so nyeh =P

Learnt much about her with this survey, namely that she's a terrible lier --;;


Indoors or Outdoors? ~ Original (for school)

comments~ make one?
story~ Indoors or Outdoors?
about~ English creative writing exercise. Not sure whether or not it's getting marked, but there you go. Had three topics to choose from, this is the one I chose:

Were you happiest indoors or outdoors as a child? Why was that? Can you recall incidents that explain why? Has this preference stayed with you, carrying the past into the present? Write a piece of prose in which you visit a place with the express intent of reliving some past event. Perhaps it is a holiday house you used to visit with your grandmother, or maybe it is a camping spot you used to go to as a young child.

Yah... now that I've typed that out, my thing has little to nothing to do with that ^^;;; Oh well, she said we can stray as much from the point as we want XD;; (true story, btw)

story~ Opposite but Exactly the Same
about~ Completely random bit of writing that just appeared out of nowhere when I was trying to get to sleep last night. Will it turn into anything? Knowing me I'll try and hold back a story and it'll just run rampant on me >< No 'narti, finish other two stories first~

It's the closing stages, and unfortunately it's a losing battle. In other words, he/she's going to lose. Aww... You can write it in first or third person, which ever.
