Creative Writing Showcase

[AlaskaSlem]

So here are some scripts I wrote while working nights. It's called D4 Heros +1 it's about five guys playing D&D.

it is becoming less about the game its self and more about what goes on around the table

please let me know what you think, you can read them here http://web.mac.com/scottslemons/iWeb...roes%20+1.html
can't wait to find out what you all think

[black_Lizzard]

Wrote a short epic:

Thragulfgarforthilk ( <--- [pic]) smash kill burn incinerate and squish. Sleep. Kill and crunch again. Sleep again. Win life. End.

Hope to win a Nobel Peace prize, but I'd settle for a Best Actor Oscar...

[TurkeyTGNom]

Ive been writing for a while, have a few stories up (some edited and some not).

The first is here. Ive got a few of em and this site knocks out the ESRB for me. (cuz im too lazy to post em here when that site does it for me). These are my fanfics, none of which I've completed yet. Just scroll to the bottom to find the list.

I am working on an original story located here. A warning, this is NOT edited, just cleaned up a bit with spell check. This story is rated T for language and sexual themes.

Check em out and let me know if you like em, or if they suck.

My take on anime's "magical girl" genre. Next chapter currently undergoing proof-reading. Comments and reviews always welcome.

[Shmigor]

Check out http://kipper-story.webs.com. It is a compilation of my work, as well as that of a couple friends. Good stuff, guaranteed.

p.s. If my link above doesn't format well, it's because I'm new to these forums... don't kill me or hold anything against the site.

Are you a writer? Or perhaps you are just starting out and need some feedback? Or maybe you just like to peruse other peoples' short (and not so short) stories. If so, you've come to the right place.

If you would like to showcase your creative writing, please provide a brief description and a link to your work (don't post your work directly in this thread). You may post your work on an external site (I will provide links in this post once people provide suggestions) or you may start a thread in this forum and provide a link to that.

Yeah, i think so.

[thurge namor]

So i wrote this when the girl i liked (and thought like me) went out with my friend. I put some stuff from things shes written, and some stuff i wrote to her, in it. she will never get to read it, but...
only friends

Spoiler

Show

Here I am again reciting
Evidence of something so far back
My heart’s been torn wide open
All its contents lost within the past

Three times asked
And three times refused
“I don’t know you well enough”
How long is enough?

How long will it take to win your heart
Or at least to get you to acknowledge your feelings?
Or are there feelings there at all?
Have you just been leading me on?

How long have we waited for a ship that never set sail?
And how much time have we wasted chasing love that was never there?

Why couldn’t you just tell me
That there would be nothing between us?
At least then I could begin to move on
How long is enough
Or is it just me that isn’t enough?

My hope crushed
My feelings hurt
I resign myself to my fate
With the knowledge that I was never enough
And we can only just be friends

If I said I didn’t care then I’d be making a mistake
And I can’t just ignore it, no there’s no other way
You’ll just never understand why it’s so hard for me to ask
You’ll just never know I try so hard to be your perfect match

The perfect guy for the perfect girl
Yet I’m not him
How can I ever speak to you
Knowing that my friend has what I can only wish for
How can I even have a chance
When you already have your happiness.

My mind screams in protest
But I cannot act,
For my happiness fulfilled
Means yours destroyed
And I can’t do that to you

So I’ll put on a happy mask
And perform my charade
And hope no one can see through my disguise
So we can still be friends
I’ll keep my emotions on the inside
And a grin on the outside
Knowing that we shall only ever be friends

This was something i wrote as sort of an anti suicide thingy... just kinda wrote it for no reason.
Tears of blood

Spoiler

Show

“your eyes will forever haunt me. The joy in them when we were together. The fear in them when I had my wreck. The sorrow in them when you saw me with him. We were never meant to be together. At least, not for forever. This is good bye. I hope we never meet again, for your sake.”
By the time I finished reading the letter the paper was soaked with my tears. I loved her. I thought she loved me, but I was wrong. My hand went to my pocket and I pulled out a ring. I was going to propose to her today. Tears of sorrow streamed down my face. I went to the shelf and pulled out a photo album. I flipped through the pages, remembering the good times. There’s when we dressed in all black for Halloween and pretended to rob my mother’s house when she was still home. She tried to fend us off with her purse. I began to laugh.
Tears of joy replace those of sorrow.
I went to the computer and checked my email. There is the draft of that life changing email I was about to send.
“meet me at the park at 9. I have something I want to tell you.”
My hand went to my pocket and I pulled out a ring. I was going to propose to her today.
Tears of sorrow replace those of Joy
I stumble to my room, barely able to see because of my tears. I open the top drawer of my desk and shakily grab what it contains. Memories flash through my head. Memories of me and her. I thought my entire life was supposed to flash before my eyes when I was about to die… but I guess she was my life. I wasn’t alive before I met her, and now that she’s gone, my life has ended.
I raise the revolver to my temple and it all ends.
No more tears of sorrow flow down my face.
They have been replaced with tears of blood, the last tears I will ever cry.
Was she really worth all this?
I was going to propose today.
I loved her.
I thought she loved me.
She was my life.
Now she is my death
How could I live without her?
I’ll never find out if I could.
But at least all the pain is gone.

This one i wrote, just cause
anchor of memories

Spoiler

Show

A man stumbles to the edge of a cliff, tears streaming down his face. He falls to his knees and screams a curse at his gods. He screams until his lungs give out. He collapses into himself and cries himself to sleep. Memories flash through his head as he sleeps. Him getting married. Having children. Them growing older. His son being drafted into the army. His daughter getting married. His first grandchild. Pride filled him. These were his favorite memories. These were the best times of his life, but life did not stay happy. A letter came in the mail. His son had died in the war. That was the first time he came to this cliff, fully intending to jump off. It was the thought of his daughter, wife and grandchild that kept him anchored to the ground. Life returned to its normal rhythm, and the pain of loss was dulled. One day a knock came at his door. He opened the door to find his daughter crying. His grandchild had run away. They searched the area for days before finding his body. His neck had been slit. The man and his wife tried to console their daughter, but it was no use. The daughter killed herself a week later. This was the second time he returned to the cliff. This time he got as far as standing on the before the memory of his wife pulled him back home. It took a lot longer for the pain to dull, and his life to return to normal. Yesterday he decided to travel into town to get supplies. He would spend the night there, and return in the morning. The sight that he returned to drove him to the cliff this last time. His house had been ransacked. His wife had been stabbed and left to die. He had nothing left. With this memory the man woke up. He had made his choice. He stood on the edge of the cliff and cursed the gods one last time. This time no memories were left to pull him home.

I’ve spent my life searching for
Meaning in tragedy
But all I’ve found is a lesson to the joyful

I’ve spent my life searching for
Freedom in sorrow
But all I’ve found is a lesson to the free

I’ve spent my life searching for
love in death
But all I’ve found is a lesson to the living
A lesson to the loved

And my lesson is this:
Cherish what you have
For this too shall pass
And that which is yours is temporary

Regret is a word of the living
But those that chose not to life
Will never know what shall fill that space left by what was lost.
They will never know what they are leaving behind

Regret is a word of the living
And I CHOSE TO LIVE!!!!

another just cause thingy (are you seeing a trend yet?)
my mask

Spoiler

Show

I’m looking out on the world through a mask
I’m hiding the guy who’s really me
And no one seems to notice
I’ve donned the perfect disguise
Touched up my rough edges
And cloaked my true intentions
The person you see isn’t me
The person you see is who I want you to see

I’m looking out on the world through eyes that aren’t mine
I’m covering my blemishes
And drawing on flourishes
And no one seems to care
This isn’t me
This isn’t what I would have done
This isn’t who I would have talked to
If I wasn’t hiding behind this mask.

I’m through
I’m done
My mask is coming off
My wall is being torn down
I’m tired of acting like I’m someone I’m not
I’m tired of this fake me
What you see is what you get
And what you see is the truth of me

My mask is finally off
I emerge from behind my wall
And find that my face has changed
My face isn’t who I was before I donned my mask
My face is my mask
I’ve hidden behind my mask for so long
I’ve become my mask
And that’s not something I wish to be.

What you see is what you get
And what you see is the truth
Only, I wish it wasn’t
I’ve spent too much time in the dark
Hiding from the world around me
Or maybe just not noticing it.
And now it’s time to come out.
I’ve hidden behind my mask for so long
I can’t remove it
I can never be free of it
I can never be myself again
Because the me that I was
Has become the me that I am
Though I wish it wasn’t true, It is
Kick down my wall
And tear off my mask
So I may truly be free
So I may finally by free
Of this burden of the me that isn’t me
I can’t do this alone.
Help me.

Killing Love

Spoiler

Show

I had your love
I had your faith
And I threw it all away
I told you I would
And then I didn’t
I told you yes
When I really meant no
I had your love
Before I lied
And now I don’t
But that was the past

I never wanted to hurt you
I never wanted to make you cry
I never wanted to throw your love away
I didn’t know what I had
Until I’d lost it

Let’s play a game of killing love
And see how long it takes
To lose the faith of those we’re close
And destroy the love of those that love us
Now that we’ve won
We wish we hadn’t
Because in winning
We’ve lost the thing that made life worth living

please give constructive critisizm and ideas... i wish to improve as a writer

Adding my name to the list.

My site is at www.mistandshadows.com

It is a bit of a mixed bag, being partially a writing journal covering progress, what I've been working on, inspirations and the like, as well as other things of interest (mostly geek-related.)

Currently I have the rough drafts of three short stories on there (The Pit, The Bronze Man, Cahuac and the Sun), as well as an ongoing serial (Cara's Choice) which I add to every week or two. Plus there is a list of other projects that I am working on.

[GryffonDurime]

What the hey.

I've got a blog of poems and stories called 61 Trees. Sometimes I update it. There's a poetry binge right now, but there's also quite a few short stories to be seen if you dig just a bit.

Warning: language. Not much in the way of violence, but implied sexual content. Nothing that couldn't be shown at PG-13.

As my sig suggests, I have decided to try writing a serial novel. You may find it here (starting Monday, at least).

You can find my serial webnovel here: Buono's Tale

Updates are 3 times a week, and so far I've been on schedule with 8 updates.

Buono's Tale is historical fiction set in Venice in the 9th century AD. While it's set in our "real" world I tend to write it in a fantasy style, its just that any "magic" that takes place has a perfectly rational explanation. Also no dwarves.

Enjoy and please leave comments!

[Agamid]

I was wondering if someone could recommend a free to join site where one might submit their writing?
I quit deviantArt a while ago because, to be honest, there are far too many people on there that i want to stab in the face with a fork, and i haven't submitted anything to elfwood in over a year because it takes that long to get anything passed by the moderators.

[Khaeta]

@agamid: I've been wondering the same thing. I use webs.com and google sites for most of my non-writing stuff (my D&D group, etc.) but none have ways to allow comments on a normal page (i think, I'll check webs in a bit).

Anyway, currently my story (of which I have written only the prelude, but given that it's now summer...) is here. I'm currently using google sites, the site needs an upgrade badly. No place to put comments, at the moment, so put them in this thread please.
