The Wishful Writers

Thank you.
Oh my crap, I wrote that this was set after the events of “Wander”. I meant before. Everybody understood “before”, right?

The last bell rang, but I wasn’t done with school yet; after a stop at my locker to leave my backpack, and another to the bathroom to fix my hair into a bun and change from my uniform and into generic exercise […]

Chapter 2, maybe.
Nick and I had met last semester, when we were both working on Much Ado About Nothing (the same play where I’d met Adam). A year and a grade older than me, I’d been seeing him around for […]

Note: Some stuff that should be in italics or other special formatting isn’t.
Chapter 1
I envied my sister, once. Daria had the sort of face that would look good with anything, and would probably always […]

For some reason, this last scene reminds me of this Adventure Time scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6evrAHLYhA. Not that they’re in any way similar in anything but the barest of ways, but […]

Ana Mardoll: He. Well, I may be showing my age, but there was a media storm briefly about a Pregnancy Pact (that wasn’t real) back in the last presidential election. They even made a Law & Order: SVU episode about […]

There’s a media storm? Surprising, given the sneak preview here: I’m hard-pressed to come up with a set of circumstances in which teen pregnancy would lead to one, even if the events shown so far do lead to a […]

Now, this is kinda hard without knowing how the arc goes, but you mean something like…
Peace
Abscence
Concern
Tomorrows
?

AN UPDATE IS COME!!
Sooooooo…I got in.
Not the program, though, but the next stage, which is interviews. In Washington D.C.. And if I pass that, I’m in for reals, and I get to go to Japan to take trains and […]

I’d never heard of Tam Lin before this post, and I’m not sure what to make of the Wikipedia article, so I don’t think there’s much I could say that would be useful, at least at this point. Is there any particular […]

Titles, titles…
Depending on how the characters’ sexualities skew…Succubicurious
I’ll let myself out now.

[semi-jokey title suggestion]A Funny Thing Happened to Me on the Way to the Locker Room: A Succubus Story
[/semi-jokey title suggestion]
You know, this is not at all the kind of story I usually gravitate […]

Tina Foxwell: African American in her early thirties who, while not a household name in the acting world, frequently appears as a guest star in TV shows, due to her particular “fierce” looks. Casting agents […]

More points:
* Faerie will have lots more of Yasmeen; I like her a lot, and like I said earlier, she’s probably the one character from Faerie–aside from Pari, of course–who’d appear in future chapters of Wander. […]

Oh, fug. I’d almost gotten through my second part when then internet went “BOINK!” and caused me to lose it all.
Anyways…
Correct me if I’m wrong, Ana, but the impression I’m getting from your comments is that […]

Thanks again for your comments. I don’t know how potential second novel–whose working title, for convenience’s sake, will now be Faerie–would turn out, but I’m now pretty darn sure that it’s a good idea.
In no […]

Also–because despite appearances, I am not always an ungrateful bastard–thank you for the kind words. I hope the rest of the work, if it is ever in a state where I can show it to people, manages to maintain […]

Grammar is less essential than content at the moment. Still appreciated, to be sure, but it’s not something I’m concerned about, since I don’t expect a lot of the chapter to remain intact and the end, and […]

Oh my: Sydney Averdale feels nostalgic: it feels like the kind of name I’d gravitate to.
I’m not sure how useful this will be without any additional context–these are rather bad names if you’re writing a story […]
