People in the Southern Hemisphere are also literate, you know. *Politically corrects title.* I still love you, Ben-Ben.

I'm working on hardly anything at the moment, but holidays are fast approaching, so we'll see.

[Pasteurized]

I'm just starting a new story based on the WAR trailers, and a witch hunter/vampire slayer.

[Katya]

I'm currently writing an update to a story about what a bunch of goons from this forum I regularly visit would be like if they lived in an upscale boarding school.

Mah, other than that, just a bunch of short pieces/ opinion pieces/ essays.

And yes, I AM trying to be serious in a select few =)

I am writing a story about a whole new world that is in a constant state of war and devastation, and the wars are being caused by creatures called Titans, who manipulate races to go to war with each other. There are hundreds of different species of creatures on the land and they have a lot of special abilites and powers. The different species are called "Exors" and they all go at war with each other because the Titans manipulate them and their leaders. There is another group called the Questers, and they are given special powers, and they have to stop the Titans from completely destroying their world. There are seven main exors that live on the world, and their are two questers for each until they died and a new one is chosen. Now, the Questers have to stop the Titans from destroying their world, before it is too late.

^^It is called the Beasts of Devastation

And I am also writing some random poetry.

Cool. That sound pretty good.

I am currently writing an Update to my IF story Mystery.

[Skulblaka Shur'tugal Yodec]

I'm currently working on an angel/demon love-story action-packed tradegy. It's actually a four book series. Soon anyway.

[Royal Tourist]

I am thinking of starting a mysterious sort of unclassifiable story. I have the idea and a possible title, 'The Reluctant Hero'

[Lady Goldylocks]

I'm in the idea stage of writing an IF story. Murder mystery.

[Spinner]

Lots of stuff on the pike for me.

My serious stuff includes The Lanternfly, a story about a girl who discovers she has the ability to create things and places with her mind when she is tasked with reuniting a broken family. It's set in a steam-powered (not punk) world that's an alternate of our own. I'm also working on a book called Shadower, which follows the story of four teenagers whose lives are defined by the mistakes their parents made, and how each one is given a chance to break free from it while circumstances pit them against each other.

For IF, I'm working on The Madonna Lily, a love story about how to deal with love once your in love, and Windroads, which I really can't talk about yet--except that it involves a LOT of shist blowing up.

Then theres Random Occurrences and Sexpresso which I update when I have time.

Well, I'm currently working on a story that I am calling Before I Regret. As a sort of initiation, he is forced to help a group of creatures called Barotaurs destroy this town. The reasons are in the story and are a bit complicated, so I won't post them here. Anyways, this act essentially awakens his conscience. Since that moment, he is constantly being plagued by remorse and guilt, and he begins regretting ever joining the inquisition. So he has three choices: A) Continue working for the inquisition with his conscience intact, in which he would continue descending into an ever-worsening depression B)Leave and rebel against the inquisition, and C)Find a way to drive his conscience from his mind and continue working for the inquisition

He decides to go with plan C. He believes that what the Inquisition does is right and just, but he can't take the remorse and guilt. So, he plans to beat his conscience into submission, so to speak. As a result, he eventually turns into a cruel and evil sociopath that eventually...

Well, you'll have to find out.

Still, I think that the stories 'tagline', "Come Fall With Me" is pretty brilliant. But hey, that's just me.

Hmm my current project is one i started in June, though i spent a long time planning between writing the prologue then and Chapter 1 in August. I am only on Chapter 4 but i am taking it slowly, and now that i am a little older and a competent writer i am hopeful it will be of a fairly high standard, even if it is not quite ready to consider going for publication. I have completed 2 novels in the past, and a sequel to one which was left fairly close to completion, as well as 5-10 things i abandoned after 10k words or less. All fantasy.

My current one is set all in one city, and revolves around magical items, most of which are powered by a type of rock called Gigamyte. These magical items were ruled as too dangerous for the general public by the organisation of people who could use magic naturally, who have a lot of political influence over the city. However after a while the city became full of these illegal magical items, with many smugglers, thieves and traders of them. The main plot is that an among the thieves, someone seems to be collecting more and more of these magic weapons, and the law fears that they might be trying to overthrow the government and the magic users with them. One of the magic users teams up with a few thieves and people on the other side of the law to try and find out who is behind it. As you can probably guess, the conflict escalates beyond what they expect

Since it is fairly long however, i was thinking about starting a slightly less serious (as in the amount of work i have to put in) project, using some of the inspirations i have been keeping on hold so as not to give up on my main one

I hope the Titans have a motive to do such a thing. People always need a motive, even if it sounds crazy. Are they doing that because they think it's entertaining? If so, then they would be the villains of the story. Well, either way they would be, because that's pretty mean, heh.

Right now I'm working on a historical fiction and a less serious piece about two travelers who travel across their country and discover many odd towns and so on. The story does have a plot, but not very many details other than what happens in each town or city they find. I expect the story to fall apart and lose direction within three chapters, hah. My historical fiction, on the other hand, has a very clear plot line and many details to go with it. I'm quite proud of it.

I'm actually working on several stories right now. They're mostly fantasy or sci-fi, though.

One: I started posting an original here in WH, and it is loosely based around a true life story about some friends who used to street race, with some romance thrown in. Basically this racer tries to seek revenge on this "street king" who killed her friend. The true story part is with the street king who tries to screw up everyone's life. I think I've written about seven or eight chapters, but I need to go back and revise them all.
Two: It's a continuation of my first Star Wars fanfic, set after Order 66. Basically, this Force-sensitive girl who's been "away" from the galaxy for a while returns and gets a huge shock when she learns what's happened to the Jedi Order. Another revenge story. I haven't decided yet if she's going to fall to the Dark Side, but you'll have to read my first (crappy) fanfic to understand some of it. I've only got six chapters done in that.
Three: Another sci-fi piece - it's an original story that involves aliens, Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, and kind of binds them all together. I've only written two chapters and a prologue, so I don't quite know where this is leading to. I just wanted to write a sort of mystery/adventure story that explains all the weird stuff like crop circles and disappearances and UFO sightings.
Four: No lie, I'm writing a Twilight fanfic. I've written twenty-two chapters, so I'm almost done. I just have massive writers block and I don't know how to proceed just yet. It's about a shape-shifter (not werewolf) who kind of gets thrown into the whole werewolf/vampire world and tries to deal. There's romance in this one, too - but don't worry, Edward & Bella don't make an appearance until somewhere around chapter twenty. It's on fanfiction.net if you're interested.
Five: Another fanfic, except this one is based on the Inheritance Series. I started writing it a couple of days ago, and I've only written two chapters.

I always work on different stories at different times, never sticking to one story until it gets finished. It's a bad habit, I know, but when I get a story idea I just have to start writing. I also have five or six "shelved" stories, meaning I haven't touched them in months and probably won't for a long time - unless I get a sudden inspiration to work on them again. Most of them are romances, so that's probably why I've stayed away from them.

I have a few things in the pipeline.

'Neath Sapphire Wings, post-book-four Inheritance fanfic. Arya's dead, Murtagh's dead, Galbatorix is dead, and Eragon is starting to crack. Not real sure where I'm going with this one, but it's going. About 35k words and probably around halfway through the first draft.

A couple short stories that have been plotted out but not yet written, which I plan to do this month.

Rewriting and editing the sequel to my Narnia crossover fanfic.
