Sorry for not updating this in a while, we’re working hard on editing the story since there is both an agent and a publisher interested, so we’re trying to get it to its absolute best! 

Here’s a quick snippet via Katalynne Cove — Fagan’s lovely secretary — and a small explanation of what Hunters are (and some possible hints of an OTP?)  Takes place fairly early in the story?

A bit more of Hunters:  Seeking the Storyteller.  I hope people are enjoying these snippets.  Remember, you can follow the blog for updates and information  :)

One of the reasons why I love Cyn so much is because she’s sort of the resident cynical girl who lives in our world, so she knows the different mannerisms of humans that the demons don’t get — moreso than Alix and Fagan, who spend their days hunting.  So she’s the character who will get the geeky references to things that no one else will, as seen in the following snippet.

Note:  Katalynne hasn’t been properly introduced, just know that she’s Fagan’s awesome secretary who doesn’t get paid enough for what she has to deal with  ^^  Oh!  And this sort of introduces Mira, briefly?  She’ll get a proper introduction, I promise! 

Note behind a cut because it’s only a few paragraphs  :)

Everyone in the room - aside from Haven - stared at her fox like ears that jutted out from the sides of her head, her hair falling down her back.

Cyn was the first one to react.  “Great, so you have cat ears.  How is that supposed to tell us anything?”

“I am not a cat!”  

“You have cat ears-”

“I’m a fox!”  Mira hit the table lightly with her hand to make her point more clear but this only resulted in Cyn smirking in amusement.  For a moment it looked like she was going to yell again, but the girl took a deep breath and relaxed in her seat.

“I take it cat demons are different?”  Katalynne asked, moving her fingers across the tablet to pull up information.

“Wait, so cat girls are real?”  Cyn asked, sounding a bit scared.

“Of course they are,” Mira said, “But they’re kind of annoying.”

“You don’t know the half of it.”

Another really short snippet before I leave work.  I hope you guys are actually enjoying these  ^^;;;  And remember, you can follow the actual Hunters blog for more  :)

Oh wow, we actually have followers!  Awesome!  It’s Monday morning, time for a snippet of the story!  Cyn is one of my favorite characters in the story as a whole.  She’s got a whole lot of attitude and it’s a bad idea to piss her off, but as you get to know her you realize… it’s still a bad idea to piss her off  ^^;;;

This section also introduces Haven and a fight scene in the story.  Fight scenes man, they’re interesting to write.  You sort of have a plan then as you’re doing it you’re telling yourself, “Did this character attack yet?  He probably should so he’s not left out in the battle.”

This takes place after the last snippet, in with Fagan and Alix received a call from their old friend, Xaver.

Another snippet of the story posted.  Enjoy!

huntersseries:

Suddenly, you’re greeted by a young girl who smiles happily.  She has the type of cuteness that makes people stop and take notice, but what sets her apart from your normal cute, sweet girl are the furry, pointy ears and the soft tail that wags behind her.  

“Hi hi!  Mira here!”  She says, giggling as she speaks, “You haven’t met me yet, but I couldn’t wait to meet all of you!  Zach says that this is a computer, and this is something called the internet, and there’s pictures, and people, and things!  So many things!  And-… h-hey!”  The small Chromebook is quickly snatched away from the bouncy fox girl.

“Please forgive her for existing.”  This new girl is the complete opposite of Mira.  She glares at everything within her range, from the sun for being far too bright, to the Chromebook for not being dark enough.  She’s dressed in fishnet, her hair a wild shade of red until she dies it into a different color, “Mira is a Scough, a demon way of saying ‘bouncy annoying thing with cat ears.”  

“Cyn!”  The girl puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, “I’m not a cat!  I’m a fox!”

“Whatever,” the goth girl muttered, rolling her eyes, “Anyhow, you all haven’t met me either, but you will soon… unfortunately,” Cyn sighed, “Have a good night, and please, leave me alone.”

“Not me!”  Mira cried out, “I want to get to know all of you!!!”

Who are these two characters?  Stay tuned to find out!  Good night  :)

Just having a bit of fun before bed.  Good night, everyone  :)

Hi guys!  So in order to keep track of what I post for Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller and other future projects for it I’ve made a blog for it!  Please follow it if you wish to read snippets of the story  :)  The opening scene is posted on that blog already, please enjoy!

Check out the blog here!

Here’s a little peak at part of the first chapter.  Now that Alix and his partner, Fagan, have to deal with a demon, they learn that explaining the basics of their world can be annoying and frustrating fun ^^

Warnings:  Humorous character interactions

Notes:  I think I’m going to stick with posting small little snippets and teasers instead of like, full chapters, just because I want to wet your whistle and make you interested in the story  ^^

So that little snippet of a story I posted a little bit ago?  We’ve been sending query letters to publishers.  Well, “Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller” has officially gotten it’s first positive response, as a publisher has requested more  :)

And now…. I am SPAZZING!  SPAZ!!!!!!!

All right, first of all, thanks for even showing interest in this  ^^;;;  Second of all, this is one of many stories I’m doing, so I’ll probably post other things later.  I also have a finished story too that I’m trying to get published, two in progress (jeez), but the one I’m posting now means a lot to me for many reasons.

My partner and I use to roleplay (still do) back when we lived in separated states.  We’d use anime characters and it was a mix of a bunch of different series.  But then, over the years, those characters started to change, and we started coming up with our own stories, then we said, “… maybe we should write this out.”

So we did  :)

This is the first book in a planned series of seven.  It takes place in current day Minneapolis/St Paul (which we decided to do just a few months ago, we drove around the city looking at places for scenes and everything). 

Quick Summary:  Alix Andre DeBenit has been hunting demons ever since his fiance was killed by a strange fire that erupted in the city years ago.  Partnering with Hunter veteran  Randall Fagan, the two are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to hunting down these monstrous creatures.  However, Alix comes across one demon that can change his life forever.

Dox is a living shadow called a lurk and is far more intelligent than any demon Alix and Fagan have ever faced.  In exchange for his life, Dox tells Alix that he can take him to a creature called the Storyteller.  It is said that the Storyteller has the power to change things.  He lives in a room full of books, each book representing the life of every human, demon, and whatever lies in between.  The Storyteller has the power to change someone’s story, something that Alix has wanted ever since his fiance died.  So Alix begins an uneasy alliance with the demon.

Only to run into a whole mess of troubles along the way.

Extra Notes:  That’s the gist of the story, there’s a whole lot more but don’t want to spoil anything, of course.  I’m posting the first chapter.  This is by me and snowtigra, she would write it out, then I would go in and edit/add any extra details.  I hope it intrigues you for now!

So I realized that I’ve talked about the joint series I have going on with my partner, but I haven’t said much about it.  During NaNoWriMo we worked together on what will be the second book (we have seven planned), and in doing so we ended up going back to the first story and adding a lot more details.

I want to share a sort of synopsis of the story, maybe post a snippet if it’s something that sounds interesting to people.  I want honest feedback, because this is something we want to be published.

Plot summary like thing under the cut, in one of the main character’s POV  :)

Day 1 - Have you participated in NaNoWriMo before? If so, which years and what end result? If not (or even if so, for that matter), what’s your connection to writing? Why do you want to participate this year?

Day 2 - What’s the title of your story? Why did you choose the name you did?

Day 3 - Pick one of your female characters. Introduce your readers to her, from her point of view and her words only.

Day 1:  I participated last year and didn’t win, but I did manage to finish the story and multiple drafts enough to submit it to a few places to hopefully get published.

Day 2: Hunters 2: Escaping the Chapter

We’re sticking with stories and book themed ideas because the stories focus around a character we created called The Storyteller and it all circles around him, sorta ^_~

Day 3:  Introductions are stupid and I’m not really interested.  Just, get out of my face ok?  …. no I’m not answering personal questions, why do you care anyway?  No, I am not talking about my past or my choice in clothing.  Go away.  …. Fine.  It’s Cyn.  That’s my name.  No, it’s not short for anything.  Piss off.

So my lovely partner here answered the first three questions about our joint story.  I’m going to do the same with our joint story AND my own story because I can  :)

1.  I participated last year but I didn’t win.  However, Nano was a great tool for me to work out the kinks in my story and get it where it is now.  I’ve actually sent “Treat Me Kindly” off to publishers, and am awaiting a response.  This year, however, I hope to win Nano  :)

2.  Joint story:  The Hunters (overall).  My partner and I actually have SEVEN books planned.  We got the first one done already.  The one we’re doing for Nano is called, The Hunters: Escaping the Chapter.

My New Story:  Double H

3. Joint story:  Oh my, what fascinating human device is this?  Do I just… continue to type to communicate with… OH!  It seems to be working!  Zach, look, I am communicating to the world of humans!  Hi!  Can you see me waving to you?  Probably not… oh!  There is a camera, Zach says, but I do not know how to use this device.  My name is Mira!  I am living at the Hunters with my wonderful new friends!  I really like your world, so far.  You have such cute dresses and skirts, and polka dots and ice cream!  We don’t have things like this in my home.  Where am I from, you ask?  The Demon World!  Can’t you tell from my ears and tail?  Oh… Zach says you can’t see those unless if I turn on the camera device.

Well… Cyn wants to use the computer, so I best be going.  She gets grumpy, unless if she’s around Haven.  Who’s Haven?  Oh!  I believe you would call him Cyn’s boyfrie- ACK!  OW!  STOP PULLING MY EAR, CYN, THAT HURTS!!!

My New Story:  Hello.  My name is Esther Peterson.  I am Gable’s mother.  We are here visiting for the week, but it seems like my son is going through a rather troubling time.  His… well… I suppose Avery is more than a friend, now isn’t he?  It turns out my son is gay.  He didn’t tell me or his father about this, we had to find out at the police station by accident when we went with him to talk about his missing friend – boyfriend that’s right, that’s right, Avery is his boyfriend.  My poor son was under the impression that we would be upset with him about Avery.  The only thing I’m upset about is that we’ve missed so much time getting to know him.  His entire college career he’s been keeping this secret!  I could have made the young man a pot roast and some apple pie!  With him missing, I might never get that chance.  I do hope the police find him soon, I am looking forward to making Avery a nice, homecooked meal.
