A self-challenge wherein I take a prompt found on the internet, and write whatever I am inspired to write. Expect to see a wide variety of genres - the only rules I've given myself is that what I write must be fictional, and it must, must, must be short.…
You've got a brilliant idea. A brilliant, fan-fiction-y idea. There's just one problem - your story requires an original character, and original characters? They've got a bad reputation. . .This is just a small excerpt from a larger, collaborative work that wll be out soon elsewhere on the site. Consider it a teaser :)…

A friend of mine has young children who love the first "Frozen" film. I told her that, though I liked the film, I thought it was fundamentally flawed - that it was setting up a different "twist" than the one that actually happened. She said I was crazy. In response, I sent her the document you're about to read as one, incredibly long e-mail. She still doesn't agree with me, but at least she thinks I'm crazy for different reasons, now.Yes, there are spoilers. But really, are you concerned about spoilers for a movie that came out in 2013? Come on, read it anyway. You know you want to!…
When Charlotte's husband presents her with an unexpected gift, she finds she has been presented with a neat intellectual puzzle - but what does it all mean?This story is a submission for the Spring 2013 Historical Fiction Smackdown (Round One). For those who don't know how this little game works, we are assigned a photo (the "group" listed below), and allowed to choose from a set of pictures on which to base the story.Group: "Lamp"Era: RegencyPictures: 1 ("Adieu"), 4 ("Three Girls"), and 5 ("Rainy Day")Length: 3558 words (though really, some of them are number sequences).Two important notes:1) Although labelled "lamp", the object in the lamp photograph isn't a lamp at all (there is no place for a wick). A reverse image search turned up that it is, in fact, a cassolette - sort of like a censor, but used to heat liquid perfumes or scents rather than burn incense. I have, therefore, referred to it as a cassolette throughout.2) The rules of this first round of the historical fiction smackdown allowed authors to pick one of two eras - Regency or Victorian. When I saw the posted pictures, I was immediately drawn to the very first one in the Regency category. That picture was Edmund Blair Leighton's 1901 painting, "Adieu". It shows a woman in a pink dress bidding farewell to a man in a Napoleonic-era Royal Navy uniform, while a large ship waits in the harbour below. The woman has reddish hair, and appears to be the same model as in another one of the paintings, also a Leighton work. That would be the "Rainy Day" painting, showing a couple leaving a church on a stormy Sunday morning. Again, the woman wears a pink dress. I concluded that the young red-haired woman in "Three Girls", who is also wearing a pink dress, had to be the same woman. The fact that her hair looks much lighter in this painting can be attributed to the fact that a great deal of light is streaming in from the windows which are no doubt right behind the artist's left shoulder.…
IF YOU ARE HERE FOR THE 2022 ONC RANT, IT IS THE LAST ENTRY / CHAPTERYes, this is a group of memes, starting with the old '20 things about me' meme. I've now been tagged by a number of people. I don't really like this sort of thing, and am only doing it because you all asked nicely. No, I'm *not* tagging anyone else. Yeesh.…
Last week, someone decided that the best comment they could make on one of my stories was to write "Read my new teen fiction if ur a 1d/5sos fan" (sic. And I really do mean 'sic'). I replied that I didn't really like either group, but if she wanted to write a "Madama Butterfly" fic where Pinkerton gets his comeuppance, I would happily read it. I further suggested that Suzuki could track Pinkerton down to exact revenge. It would have been an awesome tale of adventure, deceit, and revenge.This is not that story. This is what happened when I tried to write that story and things went in a . . . slightly different direction. A few warnings:First of all, this story does give away the ending to "Madama Butterfly". I don't want to hear you come complaining to me if you didn't want to know how it ends.Secondly, "Madama Butterfly" was written in the first decade of the 20th century, and has some . . . unfortunate racial implications. It's still awesome, but be aware. Thirdly, this is based on an opera. And it's about revenge. Expect references to adultery, bigamy, suicide, violence, and plenty of lies. Also, for those who haven't seen the opera, the American sailor is the bad guy.…
A document purporting to be a new translation of four of Pliny the Younger’s letters to Tacitus, outlining the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. and the subsequent banishment of both Plinies, with notes by the translator.This is a submission for the Spring 2013 Historical Fiction smackdown, round 4. The theme this round was ALTERNATE HISTORY, so a big chunk of the described events never happened. PLEASE do not assume that anything you read here is historically accurate – though much of it is, much of it is not!Words: 2830Time period: Ancient RomeVideo Selected: ‘Pompeii’…
