Jania's Self Improvement (Horror Story)

I have some exciting content coming out this week, but thought it best to start with some horror for Halloween! I love horror but have a hard time writing it. I hope you enjoy!

Based on the dialogue prompt: "I wouldn't open that door if I were you."

A Guide to Meaning

Based on this prompt by writing-prompt-s (X):

 You’re an immortal 30-year-old-looking serial killer who was sentenced to 1,000 years in prison. After 100 years people started asking questions, but now it’s been 400 years and you’re starting to outlast the prison itself.

She Thought It Was Love (pt. 2/3)

...okay so if you've been around for a little you know how this goes. I get super invested in a story and it grows and grows and grows. I don't want to post so much all at once because editing takes a while so I thought I'd split it up into just oooone more part!

Part 3 will be up Saturday and Madame Science will be moved to S...

She Thought It Was Love (Pt. 1/2)

 Dun dun dun! Another two parter! The second part will be posted Friday and Madame Science will still be posted on Saturday as scheduled! 

I got super inspired by the idea of soulmates dying when one partner passes and this is the result. I hope you all enjoy! Thanks for reading!

Madame Science Chap 9 (Rough)

 Chapter 9

“--reservations. Can’t wait to see you. Sorry about--well. Sorry. See you tonight.”

I roll over in bed, eyes closed, and listen to Scott’s voicemail end. That’s the only question I’ve gotten an answer to today.  I’ve got a date tonight.

I blink and nearly jump to see Momento l...

Madame Science Chap 8 (Rough)

Finding a way to write through the current times has been more than a little difficult. I think everyone has been struggling in different ways, trying to find a new normal or some sort of function interim until a new normal can be established. I'm extremely grateful for the continued support during these times. I can't thank you all enough.<...

Madame Science Chap 7 (ROUGH)

Literally one of my favorite chapters to write. I think I'm a bigger fan of action sequences than I thought! A lot of the internal monologue she has goes away in Draft two so I'm excited to show you a bit more honesty from Christine here.

Not the Hero (4/4)

And here‘s the final part! I had a lot of fun writing this though it was hard to decide how it would need. I actually ended up writing three separate endings—if you all are interested in what could have been, let me know! This ended up being the longest part by far since I didn’t want to keep adding on lol. Hope you enjoy reading!...

Madame Science Chap 5 (ROUGH)

Okay, I'm having one of those weeks where NOTHING I WRITE FEELS GOOD ENOUGH for this page. I really appreciate everyone who supports me on here.  It means so much to me to know people are interested in my stories, especially on weeks like this.

I've finished up both Not the Hero and (an oldie) Twin Switch which I'm probab...

The Defeat the Ancient Dragon Quest

Hey guys! This is a fun little warm up I did while trying to work out the fight scene in my "not the Hero" story which I finally finished and will post late tonight after class!

It's based off of a tweet I made years ago in which a witch decides she'd make a better Chosen One than the kid the prophecy points to.

This is about the point when I really started getting into Christine's voice. I hope you enjoy!

Not the Hero (3/4)

OKAY I know I keep adding more parts but that's because this, as usual, has gotten out of hand! I really love Finn and keep going back to add little bits of his past and thoughts. FOR SURE there's only going to be four parts though. 

Still,  thank you all for your wonderful comments! Your interest in this character h...

The Little Mermaid and the Sea Witch (3/3)

Okay so....remember that I was adding a bigger climax? It's here! And it's longer! I think I'll end up going back and smoothing out a bit of the end--tension is so hard! But i'm really happy with how this came out. I hope you enjoy the final part to The Little Mermaid and the Sea Witch!

The Little Mermaid and the Cursed Sea Witch PT. 1

 This is part of my LGBT reimaginings! Basically where I loved Ursula's song in the Little Mermaid and wondered what it would have been like if Ariel loved it too. Keep in mind that this operates off the assumption that all parties are of age!

The end is coming, but I found some things I wanted to fix, so look for that to...

Madame Science Chapter 2 (rough)

  

The Glendale mall isn’t busy, but the cool, stone floors and walls amplify the slightest bit of noise. I feel bombarded by sensory input—the heavy perfume drifting from the dark clothing shop to my left, the high-pitched chatter of people clustered around the coffee kiosk, and the strobing lights from a car display up ahea...

Hey all! I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. That was totally unfair of me and I've worked up a collection of stories so that doesn't happen again, at least until January.  I've started school again and that took way more of my time than I thought.

The Andersons On Springfield

 

The Andersons were the third set of Andersons to live at 235 Springfield Street. They were exactly like the Andserons before them with strong family morals and a tendency to buy okay cars. Not great cars. Just okay cars. Mr. Anderson thought about buying something a little nicer when he got a pay raise, but didn’t. The previous An...

Shorty Story: An Abstract Concept

 

“You’ve got no idea what it’s like to be lonely,” the immortal in the backseat says. He’s already broken out of his cuffs, but that’s as far as he’s gotten. The crosses engraved on the windows and in the metal around him prevent him from using his strength to punch out of the car. “Not truly lonely.”<...
