"Horrid? Why, I'm thoroughly delightful. I'm an Original, if you please, and therefore incomparable. Of all the comic, absurd, rare and amusing creatures the world contains, I must be the supreme freak. But I'm glad--I'm awfully glad!--that I'm just what I am, and nothing else."
- L. Frank Baum, The Patchwork Girl of Oz

02/03/2008 - a rather shameful update: It seems that I have not kept to my unspoken word to post my stories. It is a fact that I have plenty of ideas and written evidence of said ideas. However, they are all rather unfinished and unedited. It's kinda sad because I do have many I want to share. I just have no juice to finish. I don't like posting unless I have at least 3 chapters finished (one exception is the story I did post which is still mostly in summary form). But from what I have seen of my work habits, it seems that that plan is rather foolish. So here is the plan; in one week I will post one new story, no matter how far I've gotten into it. I will also post the second chapter of The War: Not Won. Hopefully this deadline (by 02/10/2008) will give me the push I need. Let see if it happens.

02/11/2008 - a new story: I just posted Mechanical Paranoia, a Futurama tale in which Bender wakes up to a world which is not exactly like the one he left when he went to sleep. I will be doing this story at my leisure because I only have ideas up to a 5th chapter. I really don't know where I'm going to go with this one. But I like the idea so I think I'll see where it takes me. One interesting tidbit about the first chapter: the binary at the beginning spells out "Wake up, Bender!". I'm not sure if I used the code correctly so I apologies to anyone who is familiar with it. I just thought it would be fun to do something like that.

No, I did not write the second chapter of The War: Not Won. I've just not been able to work up any interest in that story. I know that it is good and someday I will finish it. Maybe I just need my sister to push me into it. But for now I'm not going to focus on it. Sorry.

02/14/08 - another story: posted Sunshadow. a story in the Watership Down vein. I have it planned out for a while but there is still a lot of work to be done. it's going to be a long story.

02/23/08 - new story: damn, these things keep on popping up. Dreams and Schemes is now up in the Simpsons section. Had the idea for a while but I was never really able to get past the first chapter until now. So I finally decided to post it.

I'm trying to get the 2nd chapter for the other two storys finished and up soon. Before March that goal will be met.
