Note: A small bit from my WIP ghost fic. It's another scene set in the past, written in second person. (Still not sure I like that.) Not edited by anyone other than me. Cheers!Past (2)You hate days when you have to dress in anything more formal than casual. It isn't that you don't like to look nice—that part, you love. No, it's the insane footwear society has forced upon you. You hate, hate, hate

Notes: I'm less experienced than a novice when it comes to chess but I had inspiration for a story involving it all the same. (Note the vagueness to which I describe the game. ;)) I was sort of trying something by starting in the middle and filling in the background as the plot progressed from there, though I'm not sure how successful I was in making the characters well-rounded and compelling.

Notes: I wrote this a few years ago and recently happened upon it again. Cleaned it up some and... I dunno, I kind of like it. Sort of high school drama-y but with deeper undertones. Hasn't been edited (at least not recently) by anyone but me. Cheers!PerfectIt was supposed to be everything she'd ever dreamed of. It was supposed to be perfect. She'd spent so much time dreaming of it—of him. Of

Note: Just a little something I had an idea for a few years back. I'm not 100% sure I like the ending (despite the fact that I've reworked it several times) but that's all right. Not edited by anyone but me. Um, yeah. Cheers!BittersweetThey were friends for a long time—years and years.

I don't know if I should stay or turn around and run; I know that I hurt you, things will never be the same

Notes: This was the first Scorpius/Rose thing I attempted. I'm still not 100% sure I like it (I was contemplating not having a happy ending, too) but it's certainly not the worst thing I've ever sent out into the ether. I sort of tried to do one of those one-scene-per-year stories (though I cheated and added a couple extra bits) but, uh, yeah. It was mostly just a first try at the next-gen kids.

Notes: This story is a work-in-progress chapter thing. I was somewhat inspired by the style of a book called Catfish and Mandala where the story is told in three ways--the present narrative, memories from the past and stories about the protagonist's family he wasn't present for. With that in mind, this Untitled Ghost Story Thing is going to be told similarly. There will be present narrative,

Notes: So, I have to admit, I was pretty moved by the ads for Benton (and Carol's) return to ER. But I always really liked Carter and Chen's friendship, so I wrote a little something before that episode about what I thought it'd be like if she returned, too. Because it was prior to the episode's airing, there are a few canon mistakes (most notably, the location of Dr. Carter). However, since it's

Notes: My first (technically second but first posted) NCIS story! Set during the, oh, second half or so of Hiatus Part II (some dialogue is taken directly from said episode). I should also note that it's almost entirely Ziva-centric and from her POV. After seeing the episode, I just had a plot bunny that wouldn't hop away until it was satisfied. Haven't come up with a brilliant title as of yet

Notes: Another Dani fic in my quest to do FanFic100 with her. This one's set around Uncanny X-Men #503 (with the car reference coming from that title, as well). The woman Logan mentions in his memory was seen in the Wolverine: Origins arc of Wolverine v3 (confused yet?) but I made up the details about her, so any mistakes are mine alone. Didn't come up with a title for this one as of yet but it's

Notes: Just a bit of introspection. Because I can. :) No title as of yet but it's not really much of anything, so perhaps it doesn't need one.The ring wasn't supposed to mean anything. It wasn't.It was just sitting there innocently, shining inside that little blue box as it stared at her. It was so beautiful.

Notes: I was thinking about the five stages of grief and, well, Dani's my girl so I tossed her in. (I've been trying to do FanFic100 with her. *shrug*) Continuity is vague in so far as it's set pre-Secret Invasion but obviously AU as to what's really happened. Things may seem vague but it should all be explained by story's end. Umm... I guess that's about it.Disclaimer: Do not own the X-Men or

Notes: Short and kinda pointless. Takes place during Season 7; I was just inspired during an episode where J.D. mentioned The Fray and... yes. Not edited, not much of a plot but, well, there we are. I just wanted to give some new characters a shot, really. (I don't always do so well with boys. *shrug*)Disclaimer: Don't own Scrubs or The Fray (I wish, right?); please no suing.

Notes: Very unedited by anyone that isn't me. Completed short story. Characters portrayed are all my own; inspiration comes from a POSTSECRET card I once saw about someone not telling his (or her) family that he (or she) was still alive. Oh, and ::this:: means the person was speaking in another language, though it should be obvious. Also, the title is work-in-progress.SerenityEvery day started

Okay, so I spontaneously changed my mind. (Shocking.)I've decided to Christen this my writing blog. I shall post unedited, half-finished works just because I can. Sometimes things may be finished or links may be put up to find the finished products.Why?Well, there is really no rhyme nor reason. It simply is. Because I can. And I'm all about doing things that I can do. Or something equally
