Expect to see something on here very soon. I will also post whether a certain piece of work is in progress, near completion, or completed. Thanks to everyone who's interested in my crap. It motivates me to continue to write and draw, regardless of what others might think. ^_^

( Ch. 1: Once Upon A Time In New York City...... Part One )
( It's a MURDER! MUUUUURRRRRDEEEERRR!!!!!! )
The rest will be coming very soon. :D
I might as well tell you now, that the main character, Phil, you know...from the prolouge, you most likely won't like him. Unless you like sarcastic, self-absorbed, sorta-kinda racist and assey bastards. Well, he's not omg racist, but he can say some pretty offensive things to people of other races and ethnicities. Oh, and he has the libido of a male dog. Yeah. Just letting you know what you're in for. :3
Expect it up this evening after I come home from work. It's not too long, and it might seem a bit rushed...but that's the desired pacing I had for it. There's a reason why I made everything "boom boom bam bam fast pacing lololololz". Since it seemed to happen so quickly to the main character, the pacing reflects that. The situation in the prolouge will have a slower, less "wtf" factor way later on in the story. So, this new period piece story will make its debut later on tonight. Anticipate it. :D
1930s fashion and hair.....oh boy....

So......yeah....;___;. Um....gonna try to be accurate without....throwing up on my computer. What I'm going to do is, make up my own style, but still be consistent with the time period. I know ankle and below-the-knee length dresses and skirts were in style back then, BUT I LIKE MY KNEE-LENGTH SKIRTS AND DRESSES. That is why some female characters will have them, but it's still sticking to the 1930s look. And I fucking hate the fingerwave hairstyle, but alas, many characters will have them (except for Phoebe cause she's British and I plan to make her different!). Bobs I don't mind as much.....just the fingerwaves.....oh God. -_-
I will be posting my research and telling you what I plan to actually put in this damn story. Mafias? Yes. Speakeasies? In the 20s flashbacks, yes. People suffering and the economy gone to shit? Of course? You can't have a Great Depression without people getting emotionally depressed...and angry. :DDD
Here's a one paragraph preview of the prolouge. Try to enjoy it....as much as I enjoy researching for it. Orz...:'-D
Yeah...it sucks so far, I know...but I love talking about other people's hardships and strife. :DDD This story will switch from the 30s to the 20s occasionally (for flashback purposes), so it will be like going back in time to a totally different time period (the 20s were happier and had flappers and speakeasies. Fuck yeah!) I am going to try to make it as accurate as possible, from the fashion, to the cars, to even the music, and I love 30s music. There will be a few anachronisms from time to time, but it's all in good practical fun. I will try to bring out the beauty of 1930s New York City, as well as the things that make it ugly...cause NY is the shiz. And prohibition can go fuck itself. I like my alcohol. -_-;;
Expect the whole prolouge to be up later this week. AS...is coming soon too....
In the late 1920s, New York City had the two best detectives the country had ever seen. Detectives Philip Carmichael and Evelyn Johansen were a dynamic duo, cleaning up crime and solving cases everywhere they were needed. They were definitely a team to contend with....until Johansen was killed while on the biggest case they had yet. After the untimely death of the detective, Philip refused to work with another partner, until five years later when he's forced to work with Phoebe Windsor, a young and spunky novice sleuth from London, England. Despite Phil's automatic dislike for Phoebe, he will have to work with her to solve the toughest crimes in the era of the Great Depression.
It's a historical mystery/suspense/adventure story. It may sound boring as hell, but I have A LOT more planned. Mafia crime bosses, serial killers/stalkers and who can hate the speakeasys?! Yay for the 1930's! I have to do a lot of homework for this story, but it will be worth it. :DDD
As for AS...um...it's coming. ^_^;;;
I've been talking to a few friends lately, and telling them about a few ideas for future stories that I plan to actually put down on paper (or Word actually). One of them being a real world/fantasy sort of thing. Actually, it's more of a real world story with fantasy elements. That sounds better. Another idea that has plagued my mind is a sort of historical fiction type thing. Yeah, you can gasp. A story that's not fantasy. Expect it to take place in Europe though, since I hate American history. Maybe England (I fucking love England! <3333). These ideas won't be implemented anytime soon, so I would say after you read like Ch. 6 or 7 of AS, don't be surprised if you see any of them posted.
I've also been getting a lot of questions on when I will write fanfics. Thing is, I usually don't. Why? Because I don't like reading them unless they're very good.
Accosta Story - Ch. 2 Completed; Ch. 3 in the process of being rewritten
I present to you with chappie two of this godforsaken story. It's not completely edited, but it will pass, and it's pretty long, so only read if you have the time. There are terms used in this chapter that may confuse you. I provided a glossary at the very bottom of the chapter. Try to enjoy and have fun! My icon is actually very appropriate for this chapter...
Accosta Story (Fantasy) - Ch. 1 complete; Ch. 2 in the process of being edited
So, it's been a while, but it's worth it! Also, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Here's the summary of this chapter:
The princess of the country of Accosta is returning to her homeland after spending six months in the war-struck country of Emora. Arian, the son of the late great commander Kelothur Taero, meets the daughter of Cydel Wayland and senses that she's more than what she appears to be. He also has to deal with a daily routine that includes caring for his mentally disturbed mother. But how long can he keep it up before he loses his own sanity?
Warnings: This chapter contains some hints of pseudo-incest, meaning not quite incest, but on the verge of becoming something very wrong. The character really has no choice but to do it as you will see (if you read it!). There are some sexual situations as well, so it's really not for the kiddies. If you are offended by things like this, I suggest you turn away now. I give this chapter a rating of R because of that. You have been warned. :DD
Chapter one of AS will be delayed a bit, people. After rereading what I've written, I've come to the conclusion that I totally loathe the first scene of the chapter. It included things that I thought won't really matter and didn't care for. So I figured, if I don't care about what was going on in that scene, you won't care. The first part will be focused more on the development of characters that you will and won't see again, i.e. the protagonist's best friends and co-workers. Also, chapter one is more of an introduction to the overall world of the story. Things won't really start progressing until chapter two, but that doesn't mean you'll yawn when reading the first chapter. Crazy lovestruck chicks, mothers who think that their sons are their husbands, rum and ale, and mentally insane enemy princesses are all to come in chapter one! ^_^;;
Ok, so here's the damn prologue of this insane story. Please try to enjoy, as I know my work can be better. If anyone has any questions about anything regarding this story, I will be happy to answer them. Be warned, this is a pretty long prologue, about four pages worth, so only read if you have the time. Let the story commence!
Tales of Symphonia (Pi) - Game - Sketching in progress
So, I've actually made progress on editing one of my terrible stories from the past. The first chapter is being
completely revamped, and it will go from being 4 pages long, to about 15 pages. Yeah, huge jump, no? Thanks to my now vast vocabulary and me being an English major, it will no longer seem like it was written on the steps of high school while waiting for the bell to ring. It will seem...better than that. Expect the completely edited version of the first chapter of it by the end of this week.
Also, this journal is getting a pretty new layout very soon. One of my good friends,
