Chapter 2: Willard Street, West Avenue, and Alfred Street
Nick Sparks was, most of his friends agreed, a very good-looking, generally congenial guy. Obviously of Italian descent, he had brown hair, brown eyes, dark features, was just short of tall, and was thin but athletic; he dressed, like a typical young person of nineteen or twenty, in clothes mostly purchased from the mall. His face was somewhat long and slightly angular, with prominent cheekbones and thin cheeks, though he did not appear gaunt. His chin was very noticeably cleft.
Nick was also, most of his friends agreed, a little odd at times; but at the James School almost everyone was at least a little odd, and so this was usually overlooked.

I decided to take up the 30_kisses challenge, using the pairing of Muraki and Ukyou, and I was wondering if anyone has/knows of any fanart and/or icons of the two of them together? I was thinking of using something (with credit given) as part of the master list page/open credits page I was kluging together ( :: Adjusts glasses ala Tatsumi at the amount of frontslashes used in those sentences:: )

So I'm writing my first synopsis and it has my brain log jammed. I don't know what the heck I'm doing. I have searched for examples other than tips (i.e., first paragraph do this . . .). I'm so visual in nature I need a concrete example to spring board my own ideas. I have gone to Story Sensei and searched agent blogs, but have come up empty. Help! Websites. Books. I'm open. Feed me Seymour!!!

The coffee shop in which we had been sitting was a dimly lit kind of place with all kinds of pretentious art crap cluttering the walls. I’m sure that at any given moment, one could easily find a patron there who enjoys the kind of garbage I’m asking you to read. I can say with some certainty, however, that finding a Nicholas Sparks lover there would be very unusual. It was not the sort of place someone who reads Nicholas Sparks would sit and read Nicholas Sparks. That would be embarrassing in such a hip and intellectual place as the coffee shop.

So, I have been writing an outline/ key scenes for a graphic novel. It is a sci fi adventure that takes place in 1930's dustbowl. I had some questions about research.
1.) How in depth do you all go into for research. I mean should I be a stickler or can I bend the rules a bit and make things not so historically accurate?
2.) what is a good resource about writing and letting your audience know it is in a certain time period without starting the first chapter, "It was a cold morning in the fall of 1932."
Thanks in advance!

Torn Slippers: Chapter One
Rating: light R
Word Count: Total 58,120/ this chapter 4,738
Genre: Fairy tale retelling; drama; romance
Author:![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)

Summary:
"Do you trust me?" - "Well...no." - "So, you see? You can't be completely crazy yet."
A retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, originally written by the Brothers Grimm. Catherine DiConta is one of thirteen princesses who have a dangerous secret, a dead mother, an overbearing father, and far more trouble than they can deal with. She's faced with a few more fairies than she'd like, the complexities of spellwork, two men who like wearing the colour black, and, possibly worst of all, trying to figure out what on earth is going on in the first place.
Notes & Warnings: The whole thing is written and finished. If anyone wants, I'll gladly post the rest too, though not all at once. I hope someone out there likes it; this is the story that ate my brain. Contains some swearing and slash; also very mild descriptions of sex and violence.

At that moment, Lee showed up. I always thought that Lee looked more like a Tom than a Lee. He was tall, his head was shaved, he was large—overweight I think, actually, although I would never say that because he’s so sensitive about things like that (although his nonchalance makes it seem like he isn’t)—and yet somehow looked like he was nine years old. Maybe it was the way he dressed that made him look that way. Anyway, he should have come off as intimidating, given his god-given bodily figure. Instead, he came off as very nice and very sociable but somewhat insecure. You could tell he was kind of insecure because of his humor, which was self-deprecating without being dark. Sometimes he would make jokes about being ugly.
Personally, although I swear I don’t subscribe to any stupid universal-love-like beliefs, I find it easy to find things beautiful that are not, really, classically beautiful. Even those things that someone like me might, every once in a while, in a conversation, forgetting for a moment that I can find beauty in everything, say is “the kind of ugly that just can’t be beautiful,” or “really profoundly mundane, so that it just can’t be beautiful,” or “like a scrap of white plastic, like, plastic all the way from the 70’s, sitting on a granite counter, and maybe from being beaten up it has a couple of grooves in it filled with dirt. But the contrived contrast between the plastic and the granite makes it impossible for the situation to be beautiful.” The reason I let you in on that fact about me is that I want to tell you that I didn’t find Lee ugly. Lots of people would reassure him that he was not ugly, but I really meant it. They didn’t.

Title: Lost Time Can Never Be Recovered
Rating: R
Wordcount: ~1100
Warnings: Angst, Profanity, Violence, Mental Illness
Summary: Is this story true? If I can trust what I was told, then yeah, apparently it is. But I've learned that I can't trust her. I'd say this is probably only maybe true. I don't know. I don't remember.
Author's Note: Critique is totally welcome. Be as brutally honest as possible. I would eventually like to write Cameron in a novel that I could possibly eventually sell, and I'd like to know if it's a waste of time now. Praise is also welcome, of course. If you hate it, tell me why. That is all. Enjoy!

Okay, I'm new to this, so...
Basically, this is a story that I'm working on, and it's not done yet. But, I thought I'd share it, because it's Christmas Eve and all that. So, I hope you like it!
The only thing that you have to watch out for is some minor swearing that only occurs once, but I just thought I'd let you know. :)

First chapter up! I apologize in advance - still in the un-beta'ed stage. Still looking for a beta-reader somewhere... As usual, critiques and comments are love :)
Happy holidays to everyone!

Jordan's been asleep since 10:00. Curled up on the couch like a stray dog wearing baggy sweats, she's the kind of stray dog you'd gladly take home from the parking lot at Wiggly Foods without a second thought. Or a first thought, even. It'd be take-home autopilot, something you'd respond to without thinking.
"Hop in, girl," you'd say, and let her ride shotgun in the cab of Gloria, nose wind-surfing out the half-down window of the rusting, '87 Ford F-150 you got when Uncle Leddy kicked the bucket for the third and final time.
"Gloria -- this is," you'd say in introduction, "... what's your name, again?" She'd look at you with those lonesome, winsome, distant-close, warm-you-to-the-bone eyes. "Take me home, Big Boy," her slow, blue eyes would say, "we don't need words to interact."
And you'd obey. You'd do whatever those eyes asked, as long as you could let this feeling linger on. Because, somehow, in the genus of her own, non-ape indie world, she made you species jump and feel human.

I made some Yami no Matsuei icons of Hisoka and Tsuzuki for RP journals, but I'm also sharing here. ♥ They're a mix from the anime and manga.

Greetings, literary livejournal! Currently, I only wish to be known as Corvidaen. I've been writing for a very long time, but have only taken it seriously in the past few years. I'm working on a fantasy series at present, and hope to print the first part in late Spring/early Summer. I usually do epic, eccentric time-space plots, but the story below is my one and only successful attempt at something shorter. Enjoy (:
Note: This is pretty much finished. I simply fail at formatting.
Title: The Wailing Cat
Length: 1798 words
Rating: General audiences
Warnings: Nothing of the usual, but I must inform you that it's loosely based off a dream and, therefore, is quite strange.
( The world was dark and cold, with a strange mix of primitive, muddy alleyways and skyscrapers shining brightly... )
