Oh dear I almost forgot! There’s another series I’m working on. I guess I forgot because I wrote that last post at work and this series is… um… super smutty. Cut because not worksafe:
Because sometimes my writing projects get really smutty? This is going to take a lot of courage…
Uh… h-hi, hi! Hi new followers, wow, just… yeah.
reminds self to reblog headcanon tonight for the night time readersSo here’s a list of the original things I’m working on that I will, most likely, post snippets of. Also, I’ll keep posting fandom writings here, since it keeps things more organized that way :)
- Treat Me Kindly: This is my first completely novel, yay, written all by myself! It’s urban supernatural, and is about a detective trying to solve a murder case where the only clue is a butterfly. It turns out that the butterfly and other animals found at an exclusive, wealthy auction can actually turn human. The animals are very loyal… unless if you mistreat them, then…
Status of this project: Completed, with a publisher interested, OMG! Reading over the contract, man, this is really a process ^^;; I’ll probably post parts of it soon. It… will have a bunch of warnings, it’s a rather dark story.
- Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller: The joint story with my partner. This too is urban supernatural. In the world of demons there exists a being known as the Storyteller. It’s said that he lives in a massive library where he has the power to change people’s lives as easily as writing a book and putting it on a shelf. Such an ability is useful to Alix Andre DeBenit, a man who usually hunts demons down. However, someone like the Storyteller can certainly help bring back the things Alix has lost. Except… the Storyteller is being controlled by a terrible creature, and Alix and his partner, Randall Fagan, might have to work with the very creatures they hunt in order to stop a war.
Status of this project: Complete with an agent showing interest, and with a publisher showing interest. It has its own blog here: Hunter’s Blog. This has 7 books planned out between me and my partner :) The second story is written and in the rough draft phase right now. Takes place here in Minneapolis.
- Double H: A gay romance with a supernatural murder mystery twist. Gable Peterson is told one day that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, is dead. Afterwards, Gable closes his eyes and dreams of a time when Avery was still alive. Much to his surprise, when he wakes up, Avery is, indeed, alive. Somehow, Gable has gone back to the last day he saw Avery before he went missing, giving him a chance to protect his boyfriend. But is he really capable of protecting his lover from a killer who targets gay men? There’s already been three victims, is Avery destined to be victim number four?
Status of this project: Just finished this last weekend! Rereading it, writing up a query letter/summary, and sending it to publishers *keeps fingers crossed*
- That certain… genesis quad? A story to try and get into an upcoming Dreamspinner Anthology dealing with regaining that spark in your love life.
- Steampunk idea (untitled for now): Another story idea to try for an upcoming Dreamspinner Anthology that deals with Steampunk.
So yes, expect bits from these things along with crazy headcanons I do to take a break from original writings and such :) Thanks for following! And I’m glad everyone seemed to enjoy that Persona 4 pony headcanon thing ^^
So… this is what I do when I’m not at work, or not crafting, I’m writing like a crazy person. Go check out my writing blog for up to date writings from me, be it crazy fan hijinks or original works :)
No I can’t stop pimping out my writing, I need to, it’s my life now ^^;;;
So we just edited the story again and added some stuff, took out some stuff, did some general stuffs, and stuff. Anyhow, in this snippet, Fagan, Alix, and Katalynne are trying to figure out things about the demons who are now in their basement and several things their old friend, Xaver, left behind before he was killed.
I wanted to post this part because it has a lot of dialogue between the group, so you get a feel for how they are around each other. That and I really like writing Katalynne, like a lot, she’s like awesome secretary-chan and I love her to pieces. This piece is pretty plot heavy, as important things are discovered.
So Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller is the joint story my partner and I have been working on since, well… college. Back then it was a roleplay we’d do with anime and video game characters, then at some point we realized that the likes of Gaara from Naruto wasn’t really Gaara anymore…
And thus, this series was born :)
Other parts can be read here for those in the mood for urban supernatural full of demons that live in our world. It takes place in Minneapolis/St. Paul, and actual places in the Twin Cities actually show up (we drive around a lot and map out where places are in the story).
No major warnings for the story, not the first book anyway. And, of course, it’s just going to be little teasers, no full chapters or anything like that since we are working to get this published. So far it’s on the, “one publisher is interested and one agent is interested, let’s see how this goes,” stage. It’s already had some much needed edits thanks to the agent’s suggestions :)
And reblogging to my normal blog because I can? YOU SHOULD READ HUNTERS! Urm… that is the extent of my advertising skills early in the morning…
Check out the Hunters blog where the story bits will be posted: Please notice me, senpai!
Check out my writing blog where all of my writings will be posted, not just Hunters: You still haven’t noticed me, please notice me senpai!
So I’m wondering if I should like, make another separate blog, for original writing things and not just Hunters? Like I’m writing this biography for Dreamspinner and so many of the authors seem to have writing blogs? Should I? I mean I would probably post snippets like Hunters, except it would just be my thoughts and ideas, because I do have a lot of random ideas for my own stories.
Hmmm… they don’t need my bio until Monday, that’s certainly enough time to make a new page…
Thoughts?
So I’ve already talked about “Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller,” but I haven’t said much about my own story. My own story is called “Treat Me Kindly.” It’s already finished and is also in the urban supernatural genre. It’s sort of this murder mystery with supernatural elements, creatures, and is much darker than Hunters is.
I tried submitting it to places last year but it got lots of rejection (major writing lesson: be prepared for rejection, but don’t let it stop you, take a day to be sad, eat cheesecake and nummy things, then wake up and try again). This year, I went back to submitting it while we submit Hunters.
THERE’S A PUBLISHER THAT WANTS MORE!
The really cool part is that according to their site it normally takes 6-8 weeks for a response. I sent them an email about a week and a half ago and they already want more O.O
THINGS ARE HAPPENING!
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 :)
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!
Reblogging because advertising is key :) There’s a blog for our original story :) There’s three snippets posted there now followed by a few other fun bits. If you like my writing, please take a look at my original works too. This is what I do besides headcanons ^^
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!
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 :)
