A little intro... [04 Apr 2004|01:22am] [ mood | calm ] [ music | RahXephon - Hemisphere ] I'm a college student, and while I've been writing for pretty much my whole life, I've never really gotten any good feedback on it. I eventually stopped showing my scribbles to others and kept it all sitting around on my computer and in notebooks. I read tons more than I write, of course - I'm a big fan of fanfiction and original fiction on the web, as well as a good number of fantasy authors. I don't consider myself a good writer, though I do have a better grasp on grammer and a better spell checker than a lot of people out there. :) I write almost entirely original fics, so you won't see a lot of fanfics on here. I don't post a lot of stuff until it's been edited by me quite a bit, so you won't see a lot of posts. I'm mainly going to use this journal to post in communities where I can get help with my writing, and finally get some of that feedback I so badly need - I currently have no clue how much my fics suck, or how to make them better. :) I will also be posting a lot of writing exercises I plan to be doing, but those posts will likely be friends locked or private. So, right, I think that's all you really need to know about me. How 'bout you? :) post comment

[Hidden 01] Rain (Arie) [04 Apr 2004|12:16pm] [ mood | accomplished ] [ music | Clint Mansell/Kronos Quartet - Lux Aeterna ] Well, this is my first piece. It's part of my 'Hidden' series (I think it needs a better name, but I needed *something* to call it...). The Hidden series is a bunch of really short fics (Under 500 words, preferably, under 1000, definitely) about various supernaturals hiding in the modern world. It's always been an idea that's fascinated me (and sparks my love of the World of Darkness roleplaying games by White Wolf), and it's one that lends itself easily to short fics. These stories are also being used as exercises. This one, for instance, was supposed to mention all five senses, and is based off of a picture I saw, of a bright red jacket lying on top of a bunch of dark garbage. With no further ado, here's the fic. ( Hidden: Rain ) 9 comments|post comment
