A Garden of Graves

June 21, 2012

Anna hobbled up the hill to the field where a fresh grave waited.  It was a small, crude hole in the earth; it hadn’t taken long for her to dig. She struggled with each step, not because the body was heavy – the others had been far larger and more difficult to move.  Her strain […]

Yeah, “In Dreams” is a Movie Title. Also, Announcements :D

June 18, 2012

But it just fit that story so well. Plus, I like the ring of it. (The movie was pretty epically crazy, though, if you like that sort of thing.) Now, in all fairness, I actually could’ve finished the current piece and gotten it up in a decent amount of time, as I have with the […]

In Dreams

June 14, 2012

Another one of our stories from 2006. We are particularly fond of this one – maybe it’ll get an update in the near future. Charlene turned, examining herself in the mirror. Her figure had been altered greatly by the pregnancy. Not that she minded, really, it was more the fact that she had nothing to […]

Our First Fanfic

June 12, 2012

“Simon and Jayne from Firefly get stranded on a strange/dangerous planet (use your imagination ;D). Simon becomes a BAMF and saves the day and Jayne! I just basically want Simon being all BAMFy and him and Jayne bantering. I LOVE ME SOME BANTER. Bonus points for Mal saying witty things. Because I love me some […]

Attack on Ariadne

June 7, 2012

For Melissa Jacob. The planet loomed, huge and green, before Captain Malcolm Reynolds as his ship swept in closer. He studied it as Wash brought them smoothly down through the highest reaches of the atmosphere – one of the many benefits of having a master pilot on hand was the smooth space-to-atmosphere transitions. As they […]

What Is Juvenilia, And Why Would You Post It?

May 25, 2012

So, I just finished reading through Blind, and I swear I almost took the post down before anyone else had the chance to see it. Not because it’s bad, because all things considered, it isn’t. It’s just that…well…OK, you have to understand that this story was written six years ago. When I was sixteen. I’ve […]

Blind

May 24, 2012

A short story from 2006 – don’t judge, you were young and foolish once, too. Olivia was sitting in the foyer, waiting for her father to come in. He was going to take her to the library today. They’d gotten some new books in Braille – she was eager to have something new to read. […]

Forget-me-not

May 17, 2012

For Michelle Yee. Jon was sure he was losing his mind. He stared at his canvas, sitting just where he’d left it on the easel.  A nearly completed painting, an almost perfect piece.  A commission, fetching a rather impressive sum. And across his lovely painting, in a messy, uncoordinated scrawl, was one word: “Sophie.” The […]

The Graveyard Shift

May 10, 2012

For Mark Lidstone. My wife flicks through radio stations until she finds a song that I can’t stand.  She squeals in delight and turns it up. “What, this?  I hate this song,” I tell her, but she’s already turned it back to the station and started singing along loudly. I laugh in spite of myself […]

Write Down Your Writing Goals for Writing Success

May 3, 2012

Or any success, really, but I just wanted to see how many times I could get the word “write” into the title So anyways. You’ve decided you want to be a writer – we’ve already gone over why this is one of the best jobs ever, and now you’re raring to go. But before you […]
