Okay everyone, here's how this works.
1. Post the name of your story.
2. Post a short description of it.
3. Post a link.
4. Post a paragraph on how it is important to you, why you wrote it, interesting things to look for.
Begging is to be frowned on.

1. All Apologies. 2. Mostly, it's about music, it's importance, in short-story format. But there's a 'bigger picture' message, as always. 3. fantasic.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=other&action=display&thread=11484174254. Firstly, this was written for my writer's craft class, so it is not as high-quality as my writing usually is. You know, having to compromise your artistic intergrity for the sake of a mark, that sort of thing. But still, it's mine, so I love it. It's one of the more plot-driven stories I've written in awhile, so it's kinda layed back on the philosophy, but with the way I write, there's always a message. Can't get awat from that . . . wish I could though, lol. Well, if you have a moment, check it out. It's worth a skimming at least.

1. A Prayer for the People 2. I wrote this for an english assignment i got. The assignment was to write a diary entry for the "Migrant Mother" (its a famous picture of a woman from the dust bowl. google it) which included dialect and a history of how she came to be in this situation. In this english class we are currently reading Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, that is the reason he assigned this paper. 3. fantasic.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=historical&action=display&thread=11478333584. After learning about the horrible conditions endured by the people during the dustbowl by reading "Grapes of Wrath" I set out to condense the idea into this one assignment. I think I was fairly successful in doing so. It means a lot to me because by attempting to put myself in the characters position I gained a better understanding of poverty, hunger, and the will to live.

1. Drowning You. 2. It's a short story. I couldn't decide weather to put it in romantic or other fiction, but it's in other fiction now. 3. See sigi, please. ^.^ 4. It's a story from the perspective of the sea, as a man drowns. A critique would be nice, because I know it's not as good as it could be, only I'm having trouble fixing it. I can't think of anything else to say...

1: Giuseppe Garibaldi in Historical Fiction 2: Garibaldi was a general involved in the unification of Italy and he sacrificed all his dreams and surrendered all glory of victory for the sake of Italy's unity - it's a short story taking place after his victory over Naples 3: fantasic.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=historical&action=display&thread=1148682631&page=14: Originally, this was a Creative Writing Assignment, but when I delved more in Garibaldi's life, I found him really fascinating and had a blast writing this! I treasure this piece, but I feel it could be more powerful - help needed. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me with this - thanks much!

[glow=red,2,300]Fire In Her Eyes[/glow]
Kyra already has enough problems, but when she stumbles upon a secret society, a young man, and the secrets he holds, her world begins to spin even farther out of control.
This started out as an imagination out of an eight year old's head. It slowly became more and more real, until I had no choice but to write it. I've become so attached to it, and so passionate about it, that I think about it day and night. I'll be posting it in June, and I hope that others will appreciate it as much as I have.

1. Ice Cream Cones in Hand 2. A rather long short story about two friends, and what happens to one of them. 3. fantasic.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=other&action=display&thread=11480705474. Hmmm...I originally wrote this last year for school, and my teacher remarked that it was morbid. I took a break from my novel a couple weeks ago and decided to try and make it better. Added some background info, rewrote the climax, and voila!

1) I NEED A TITLE! (yes, original, I know) (no, actually, I'm looking for a title) 2) In essence, a story about a story that makes the reader question their own reality. Yes, it's deep, lol. 3) fantasic.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=other&action=display&thread=1149204456&page=14) As for importance, everything that I write has an importance because it came from me. The instant that I put it down on paper, it is no longer a part of me, but rather an entity onto itself. My characters live through my prose.

1) Nightmares: Angels and demons. 2)A short story about the cause of fear that always makes us look over our shoulders, when we are alone. 3) Not posted. 4) I think that there has to be a reason, a cause, that accounts for our fear which makes us look over our shoulders. It cant merely be paranoia. Something else is behind it,

1. "avec plaisir" (with pleasure) 2. An X-men fan fiction based on Gambit's adventures before he joined the X-Men team. It's not my best work, but I needed something to write. It's written to show how the character of Gambit shines through in everything he does from womanising to theivery. It's supposed to be a mystery/thriller in true comic-book style (hint: don't take it too seriously). It's part 1 of 4/5 parts of what will make up a short story. 3. fantasic.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=fanfiction&action=display&thread=11491926704. I'm on a little X-Men obsession at the moment, been reading the comics all over again, participating in the X-Men storybook here on TSR and the third movie just came out. I used French in the story to reflect Gambit's roots - he's a Cajun. It adds a little flavour to the story, I think.

1. Two Part Unison 2. This is a very short story about a girl who is depressed, and learns to love herself and who she is, through some deep imagery and metaphors. 3. fantasic.proboards25.com/index.cgi?board=other&action=display&thread=11492066774. I actually did get a reply, but it was just asking what the meaning of the story was - it wasn't really a review. I want someone to help me make the message more powerful, because right now I don't think it really is.
