Contest Prize: The Game, Part 1 Although she didn't know it at the time, the events leading to Lufluerette DiMargaux's first experience with the Vaselliano Game of Houses began about a week ago with two clumsy thieves in the city of Barcolo.

One of them called himself Nero. He didn't know who he was working for, or why the job mattered. He didn't ask questions. Trouble came to those who knew too much. The other was a housemaid named Isabella, out on her regular midnight raid on the pantry.

The Mute Girl Chpt 1There once was a boy,
who gave his sister hell,
he treated her like a broken toy,

"Hey, stupid." He said.
She was silent, and minded her own business and went about washing the dishes.
"Hey stupid! I'm talking to you!" He repeated.
Again, she was silent, and putting away the nice clean dishes, she spent all morning collecting the water down at the well. Gallons of water she towed back up the hill where she, her mother, and her father, reside with their living problem, her little brother and their son.

His breath fluttered with each slow dip she gave, eyes locked ahead. The way her eyes locked towards him, the heat, the sheer focus she gave to him and him alone as her finger traveled upward made his heart throb.

"Eryx, I . . . .you," she spoke, words falling from her glossed lips as she began to come closer.

Somewhere in the night Part 4 (vampire story)

Mike and Yukiko enter the tram. The inside looks like from the eighties, but it is in a good state. Everything looks new and never used. The grabpoles are polished and seem like never touched, the red leather of the banks and sits also looks untouched and there is not even one grain of dust on the floor. The whole Tram was empty. Mike and Yukiko sit down on the next bank to their right.
Mike holds Yukiko in his arms. Both are really tired and exhausted of their journey. Soon they fall asleep.

Confession to a wolf
My dearest wolf, how delightful it is to meet you. You think you overtook me by surprise? No, you are quite mistaken. I've been longing for you. Day after day I've been watching the paths you took, the territories in which you hunted, the rivers from which you drank. Why the weird look, wolf? I am merely a girl, you caught my scent. And forgive me for smelling like a fox - our paths keep crossing each other; I am cutting the tail of vulpes vulpes with silver scissors and it keeps growing back and this madman keeps stepping on the same rake. Not my fault, now, is it. I know - you can't run with the foxes and yet hunt with the wolf. But you will make an exception for me, won't you?
You look gaunt, my dearest wolf. You are running with chain snippets asphyxiating your neck - did someone try to tame you? Dupes. Come, let me take that old collar off your fine neck. Ah, stop looking at me in such a distrustful manner. We know Confession to a wolf by *kittycrime

Emmett tried to look sympathetic whenever he passed by the grieving family members of Walter Perkins. The man died of a heart attack at the age of seventy-two and his widow, Marsha Perkins, had decided to combine the reception with the wake. It was sick.

As a senator’s daughter, people were keen to tell her how beautiful they were. But when she gazed outside at the full moon, it overcame her with mysterious grace that needed no authoritative position to strike wonder. The moon was a perfectly chipped sphere of platinum no factory worker could refine. The moon was the lantern of grassy fields that never flickered, never blazed.

Above the Stars

Aliens - unidentified species from other planets. We imagine them in every shape, form, colour and size, but have we really seen one with our own eyes? How can we be sure that they exist? How can we be sure that we aren't already being watched but don't realise they're there. When we're in our homes, alone... are we really alone, or are we being watched without being able to notice it? We hear about others who have seen or have been "abducted" by what they think are aliens, but we pass these rumours by without acknowledging them. We don't believe because we don't know.

Unable to remember exactly when he finally fell asleep. If these were to be his final hours, he didn’t want to spend them sleeping. As far as he could tell, Erix hadn’t slept all night, just sitting there, waiting. Now he was gone, and all Shades could conclude was that he must have left after he dozed off in spite of himself.
The last thing he recalled before waking was a dream about going to the movies with Amy. Just as they originally planned to before he took a wrong turn one stormy night. She turned to him, and was about to take off his shades—
When it abruptly became Erix pulling them off, and he snapped awake, straining at his bonds.
As the night wore on, he eventually lost track of his many thoughts. Now he almost wished the dream had continued on its original course; the thought that he would never see Amy, or John— or any of his other friends, either— again was more than he could takTradewinds 12 CH 23 by ~shadesmaclean

After the attack on Aru, he and Justin rested as much as the remaining time allowed before embarking on the most treacherous stage of the plan. Once the Seeker was secure, they loaded the crates aboard the Maximum, on deck where they were clearly visible, to use as a last-resort bargaining chip, if need be. Max left Justin and Bandit back onboard, flanked by Sentry I and II, now that the prisoners had been dealt with, to observe— but not interfere— unless Max failed.
None of them trusted the dock, not with Erix occupying the island, so Max landed in a rubber raft, dragging it onto the sand, then working his way toward the stairway running around the stilts underneath Mr Larson’s house. Based on Toma’s expert assessment, this was the most likely place for Erix to be holding Shades.

I Want You BackMarshall wore a sinister, arrogant smirk as he tuned his guitar. He gave it a brief strum to make sure that his guitar produced the most sickeningly obnoxious sound possible. He cleared his throat, before singing, no, wailing "There once was a bitch by the name of Ashley. She dated the greatest vampire of all time, Marshall Lee. Then she sold all of his things, and left him out on the street..." the eardrum-destroying shriek of his guitar resonated throughout Ashley's house. She stuck her head out of her window, and threw a sandwich at Marshall's head. He caught it while it flew at him, and drained the red from the tomatoes. "Thanks for the sandwich" he teased. "Marshall you pig!" she screamed. "I told you that I wanted your loser butt out of here"

Finn The Ice PrinceFinn felt a wave of frigidity run through his body as he placed the golden crown atop his mass of blond hair. He was not cold, no, coldness was him. The numb, freezing sensation devoured every inch of his body. He almost enjoyed it, the detached, tingly feeling made him feel separate from reality, almost as if he had ascended above everyone else.
"No Finn, stop. You'll catch the crazy" Finn tried to keep his mind together, but found his thoughts swimming in a pool of mirages and incoherency. Everything logical and sensical and sane was slowly morphing into freezing madness. He finally managed to regain his sanity, at least for now.
Finn gazed down at his hands, and saw that the color was starting to drain from them. They began to shake, and it felt like his blood was being replaced with ice water. His skin began to turn blue, first a pale shade, before growing into a solid, sky blue color.

The man woke up with a loud and gasping breath, as if he'd been submerged in water for a length of time. He wore simple clothing: a white t-shirt that seemed to be both ripped and stained, and jeans with holes in them. He'd been passed out in the park for quite a while; some people who'd traveled by earlier had assumed he was a bum, despite the fact that he was both young and good looking.

The man's name was Severin Danse, and when he woke up, the first thing he realized was that he was wrong. He, as a very existence, felt misplaced. There was sadness and panic. Wordless questions with feelings of: 'what am I, who am I?' crosseSeverin's New Journey - pt 1 (literature) by ~Tayday12

The Tracker
A tracker is something very common in stories, and can make up for an interesting character. A tracker could be a mysterious swordsman trained to hunt people down, a bandit who uses the skill to know where her next prey will be, or even just a farmer wanting to hunt his families next meal. Either way, if you are planning to write any of these, it is important that you write it right...otherwise modern day trackers might point out your flaws.

Notes 2- Horses

My Notes #2: Horses and How They Act

Behaviour:
-Horses generally run when scared
-Horses stay in the security of the herd
-Ears point in direction of attention. Horses should have one ear back at rider, one ear forward.
-Ears moving back and forth=Uncertainty.
-Ears pinned back=Anger or Fear
-Tail Flattened=Scared,
-Lashing Tail=Annoyance
-High Tail=Excited
-Kinked Tail=Submissive Fear.
-Face: Long nose and tight mouth=anxiety and fear
-A wrinkled nose=Annoyance and Disgust
-Horses mouth flexes when learning something new, relaxes when it understands.
-A horse threatening to bite has an open mouth and maybe bared teeth.

You feel cheerful,
You kiss for the first time,
And think how wonderful it is,
For you have found joy,

You would be forgiven for assuming she was Japanese but no. Her long eyelashes and defined features were distinctly Greek and she spoke to her father on the phone in Italian. Her name had not always been Kumiko. It was just more fashionable that way.

Kumiko’s dyed fluoro pink plaits screamed out, shifting the attention of uptight businessmen and studious schoolkids from readings to her hair, pinned down by hundreds of clips slipped here and there.

A-Musing WritersWriters rarely work alone and often require the help of a different spiritual entity as a source of inspiration. This spiritual entity is often referred to as “the voice inside the head” or “the imaginary friend” or, in classical English literature, “the muse” (let's just call it that).

However, the muse and the writer do not always co-exist peacefully. There are various things that the writer must compromise for her muse.

THE BUTTERFLY WITH NO NAMEEmotions Flowed Like A Raging Fire
As I watched The Birth Of Dawn
Softness And Beauty Of Stars Had Past
My Heart Still Heavy And Forlorn
My Spirit Was Ebbing I was About To Go
When Something Caught My Eye
A Solitary Cloud So Pure And White
Appeared From Way Up High

My Eyes Now Ember With Rising Sun
Saw An Amazing Sight
Within Its Fleece A Golden Glow
And A Butterfly Took Flight
Such Beauty I Had Never Seen
It Sat Upon My Hand
And Said To Me In A Voice So Soft
I Was A Spirit Of The Lamb

My Soul Was Open My Heart Poured Forth
It Listened With Silent Embrace
And When I Had Finished It Smiled At Me
With Serenity, Peace And GracTHE BUTTERFLY WITH NO NAME by ~TheWhiteLighter

Well, well... where are we going here?

Journals / Personal

First than all, this will be my first post as Co-Founder of this group. Not the first time I post a journal on a group, not gonna be the last.

*Sigh* Anyway, let's clear things up, specially about the rules:

First than all, we welcome fiction made by you, but it doesn't just mean original stories: you'll find a Fanfic folder on the gallery; it means we consider fanfics and crossovers as well... just in case you don't get that clearly.

Believe it or not, we accept Character bios and profiles as valid work. After all, you might like to tell off story who the character's supposed to be. The place for that is the Character BIO Sheets. Formerly the Character BIOs and Bio Sheets folders, but people would have to choose not knowing the difference between one or the other, so, given there's no difference, they were merged into one folder, available for everybody to post their BIOs and profiles there.

Tutorials and template have a room in our house as well: Those kind of resources can now be found on the "Tutorials and Templates" folder. Because we want you to be better writters and those are the perfect tools to help people. If you actually have a tutorial or a template for us, put it there. Of course, it must be relevant to the topic (only writing tutorials and profiles/bios templates are accepted on that folder. Nothing else.)

Our primary concern, of course, is quality. It must be an actual story, with the grammar properly defined, and a proper story flow. Not just writing all what you think without caring where it falls. It must be organized. Of course, if you feel like drawing a shorty short story, you might like to get into "Daily Drabble", a folder that apparently exists since a pretty short while. If you feel like drabbling, then there...

For those who still don't get it: You can only post up to 2 works on "Critic Me Please", NONE on "Featured" (that folder is only for us to touch and for you to read) and up to 4 works everywhere else. By personal experience I know the former wording got people confused, so I already changed it, but people might like to skip the rules. Whell, this is bigger, you can't avert your eyes from this.

If you don't feel like writing in English, DON'T DO IT! You'll confuse the heck of your readers. Thinking on you, now the group has a "Translation Wanted" folder for those stories of those multilingual people who just can't get the proper English working. Post there the works on other languages that you would want to get translated.

The secondary concern: LOCATION! When I went to merge the Character BIO Sheets folder, I found a lot of works what just doesn't get in place. Seriously, people, check the location. Here goes a short description of the current folders:
Featured - Special art located there BY THE STAFF.
Critic Me Please - A place for those bold of heart who decide to face the critical eye of this site. Seriously, go to that folder, read the stories there, and give them some feedback.
Short Stories - The old little "One-Shots", called with a more refined and less gun allusive name. A folder for your one parters.
First and Zeros - For those who post a story but still haven't post the first chapter. A place for the 00s and the 01s
Twos and Onwards - Once you have the first, you need the follow-ups in other place. This is the place, 02s and upper go here.
Fanfics - As any dA group proud of it, we have a place for the fan content. Place here your Fan-fictions and crossovers.
What if - This is more of a game than a proper category: test your character by putting them in a specific situation. More info here: [link]
Character BIO Sheets - You wanna talk about your "charas"? Have at thee! Here's where the profiles and bios come over.
Tutorials and Templates - For those who want a guide before jumping the shark. Writing and story making tutorials come here, as well as templates for profiles and BIOs.
References - Because you need to talk about the settings some times. Well, here's the place. Put your universe notes for everyone to know.
Stamps - This one's actually a fun folder, for all the stamps we consider fitting. Go ahead put a stamp for our letters. Yeah, we still use letters... Shut up...
Poetry if you feel rivers of ink roaming without harmony through the white seas of paper are not what your heart needs to show the world what pumps from it... I mean, if you go poems, then here...
Daily Drabble - For those who feel this group makes their words sound siiiiiillyyyyyyy (Stop it, Pinkie! Geez...), this is the place for you. Have at thee!
Translation Wanted - Para los paisanos que no hablan la lengua de Yankilandia, pues a darle bataola! (it means, non-English works come here.

As a final request, I wanna ask the members and all those who get these journals on their Journals folders to please, spread the word: #WriteFiction is NOT DEAD and were prepping things for the heads up.

Spread the voice! SPREAD THE VOICE!

I mean it's not exactly brilliant, far from it. Sorry for my error. Nerves got me.

Hiya, I'm a fan lit writer, most of my fiction and poetry is Star Wars and Dragonball Z in nature. Would it be accepted here? It's exactly brilliant.

Hey, I was wondering where I'd submit a satire essay (it's non-fiction) here, if anywhere.

I'm wanting to make my ongoing story, Purgatory Wonderland -[link] -better known and, as I'm still a fairly new member, I'm not quite certain how to go about submitting to groups. Is this work good enough to be placed here?
