Experiment continued

When this started I wasn't sure how I was going to make this longer than 500 words. Since it's grown into 3 ~1000 sto­ries (well, 2 so far but there will be a third) As always, feed­back (pos­i­tive and neg­a­tive… so long as it is con­struc­tive) is greatly encour­aged. The fight had only just begun and […]

A new experiment

This is some­thing I've been work­ing on recently that was inspired by the movie Suck­er­Punch (awe­some movie!). It doesn't have a genre because it will prob­a­bly cross sev­eral of them. Let me know what you think so far. Keep in mind it's still a rough idea. Chris­t­ian made his way down the stairs, slowly draw­ing the […]

Evil E.L.F.

That is not nor­mal”, said Harley “No, that is way past nor­mal” replied Phineas The cause of their con­cern was a 6 foot tall ELF. Presently he was bran­dish­ing what looked, for all the world, like a toy gun. Only a few min­utes ago the ELF Com­man­der Faulkner and Cap­tain Remark­able had left on a […]

To Infinity

No. Absolutely not. There is no way you are putting me in that… thing. Why don't you go?” “Don’t be a baby Phin! I’d go but I have to stay behind to oper­ate it.”, Harley paused, “Unless you want to.” Phineas looked over the con­trols for the San­ta­Catcher 5000, his eyes pass­ing over the hun­dreds of dials […]

Santa Prime

Uh, who exactly are you?”, Harley asked, wide eyed, as he sat on the con­sole. "More impor­tantly, how did you get on this ship?”, Cap­tain Remark­able stepped for­ward, address­ing the new­comer directly. "I took the sleigh.” “You took the what?” Harley perked up. “That doesn’t answer my ques­tion, we are in the Cloud for cripes […]

A trap is sprung

Phineas stared. He wasn’t sure if he was hugely impressed, or supremely ter­ri­fied by what he was look­ing at. Either way, it held him in awe. “What were you try­ing to do?” “I was try­ing to cap­ture Santa!” Phineas did a dou­ble take at Harley. Being four­teen inches tall and twenty seven inches long might be aver­age for […]

So I'm declaring NaNo officially a 'non-​​win' for me.

There are two days left and I'm still at 13k words. But you know what? It's okay. This is another long mis­sive. Weigh­ing in about around 1300 words. Feel free to skip if you like, but I think some will find it inter­est­ing and help­ful maybe. I knew going in I would never make 50k. I wanted […]

Book review: Emlyn Chand's 'Farsighted'

I'm part of a blog tour! I'm part of a blog tour! And I have no idea what that means :) I recently had the honor of being a beta reader for Emlyn Chand's Far­sighted, and I can hon­estly say I was glad i read it. The cen­tral sto­ry­line revolves around Alex, a teenager who has […]

Top 100 YA books

I came across this list over at proud book nerd (who got it from Rather bare­foot than Book­less) and fig­ured I'd post it here so that other fans of the YS genre could see it and to help me keep track of the books/​​series that I've read. I'm a huge fan of YA, and prob­a­bly spend […]

Writing prompt for 9/​1/​2011

I have a ton of ideas run­ning through my head, most of which I will either never remem­ber or never be able to get to (I do have to sleep some­time). So I fig­ured I'd post a few up and let oth­ers use them as writ­ing prompts. You don't have to post a com­ment here […]
