Hello there!
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. What is this? Well, I'll tell you!
So, fun fact, I usually don't listen to songs by myself. I generally listen to entire albums at once. This method has allowed me to scrape the bottom of every barrel and find songs that would otherwise never be discovered because they weren't hits. But there are so many songs that appeal to me that it seems a sin that some of them aren't well-known.
My love for music has been well documented by myself by now. And, as my ultimate testament to my love for it, I want to do something special. I want to combine so many songs into a single collection and make every piece something special.
Writing Supper's Ready taught me much about myself. It taught me what I like to write. And while writing it, I realized something so, so important: I don't enjoy writing 3,000-word cute-moment or angsty or happy one-shots. Which is really strange, because I absolutely LOVE reading them, but it just seems so more natural when other people do it. When I do them, I find myself not really enjoying it.
As my time on this site grows, so does my list of stories. Naturally, the list of my own stories that even I do not recommend grows. Stories such as In Too Deep, Shut Up and Dance With Me, I Wish it Would Rain Down, Comfortably Numb, and Selling Noodles by the Pound I don't recommend reading, so if you haven't, just spare yourself a few wasted minutes. The problem with them is… they didn't have a point.
The one-shots that I do like either explore an interesting idea or do something out of the ordinary. One-shots such as Supper's Ready (I'm sorta proud of this one, if you haven't noticed), Steam (yes! I liked that one! Will I write another like it? Hell no!) Wishing If I Had A Photograph of You, Follow You Follow Me, and I Talk to an Action Figure are the few one-shots I have that I actually enjoy re-reading.
So, with this in mind, I am going to let the people who do fluffy and angsty stuff well all to them. There are others who can do fluff and angst and still have a point, something that I'm not that great at. So, my focus when it comes to one-shots is going to explore some ideas that's usually not written about much, or will experiment with the writing structure itself.
But what to call my collection, I wondered? I brainstormed so many song titles, but I realized that I was bringing so many of my favorite songs together to create something that was entirely my own. And so the title is... what I call myself here. The little nickname I made for myself on that one summer day has become something so much more to me.
So what's the difference between my other one-shots and the ones I'm going to put in here? Here will be the ones I care about the most. Here will be the ones that experiment. Will they all be good? I can only hope so, but I can make no promises.
Well then, my fellow readers and writers, on with the show.
