Aurelia is battling a quarter-life crisis with the help of Ficly and a lot of coffee. She is launching into the abyss of a new career as a (sexy) academic librarian, and working it all out in just 1024 characters.

In ficly I’ve discovered a medium of writing that’s quick, expressive, and just restricted enough to be a wonderful challenge. I love it!

Part-time human, always trying for a twist.
Please put a rating or even better a comment – even bad ones!
While you’re here, why not read my other stories? :) -
“At night in any kind of light, in twilight, candlelight, lamplight, and worst of all by moonlight, it becomes bars! The outside pattern, I mean, and the woman behind it is as plain as can be.
I didn’t realize for a long time what the thing was that showed behind, that dim sub-pattern, but now I am quite sure it is a woman.”—Charlotte Perkins Gilman, “The Yellow Wallpaper”

You know that moment when you realize you’re in over your head?

Dr. Tim’s Neurotic Rules of Ficly Life
[Disclaimer: This is not intended to be binding nor in any way an expectation of general members of Ficly, league members, family members or wearers of Member’s Only jackets]
1. Comment to Story posting ratio must exceed 5:1. Goal is 10:1. In other words, I write a story then find five others (at least) upon which to comment before writing another.
2. For every solo shot or sequel of my own material, I must write a sequel or prequel to the work of another author. If I’m going easy on myself, participating in a challenge also fulfills this requirement.
3. If someone comments on one of my stories, I go find one of theirs upon which to comment. It only seems fair, and I like to think it encourages commenting.
4. Awesomeness is the goal, always. Call me on it when I fail, please.
5. Clearly mark mature content and err on the side of caution.
6. Golden Rule remains in effect for all sequels, prequels, and comments.

NOTE: I am happy to build feedback loops, where I comment on all your stories if you comment on all mine. If you have less than twenty stories, I’ll go first – but otherwise, I’d offer batch processing.
A gamer born and bred, a writer clawing his way out from inside.
I’m still 39, married, a cog in a corporate machine, and I play just about any game known to modern geeks. SmilinStan on XBox Live, in case you wanna look.

I am a nerd who loves to write, tinker, star gaze, navel gaze, plan for Armageddon, and raise remarkably strong-willed, inquisitive children in the company of the only woman who laughs at enough of my jokes.

I am a Manga artist, although i do not have things up on deviant art cause i dont have a scanner…. wife of a cowboy who is currently living a dream. My hopes are that i will hone my drawing skills enough to finally draw my Husbands stories (Mighty Joe Young) i ficly to spend time with him. He is sooooo awesome.

Love to read, never written much. Thought I’d give it a try.
Please, rate me harshly! I know we all like to be nice here, but please don’t give me a 5 unless you think a story could not have been any better and it really blows you away.
Similarly, do leave criticisms, constructive or not. I appreciate tough love, even if it’s something that you aren’t sure I (or anyone else) would agree with – that’s the best way to see how other people are thinking and, I think, to improve.
I try to apply these thoughts to my own comments/ratings and probably come off as somewhat rougher than most, but I definitely will explain what I thought could improve if I give a 3, or what I thought was outstanding for a 5.

I was born in Milton Keynes, England back in 1986, moved to Luton when I was 3, and then moved to Los Angeles shortly after my 21st birthday purely because I could.
I’m the creator and Head Writer for Jump Leads, a Scifi-comedy webcomic which can be found at www.jump-leads.com, the Editor-in-Chief of SoulGeek Webcomics (soulgeek.com/comics/), the co-writer of Left 4 Dead parody webseries “Boomer’s Day Off” (benpaddon.net/boomers-day-off/), and the creator, co-writer and host of PortsCenter (portscenter.tv). I’m also working on a LOT of other projects. Lawks!

I’m bubbley and crazy and just plain old me. Call me Triana, call me Teri, call me hey you over there, chances are I’ll ignore you anyway.
My grammar and puncuation is terrible and my spelling is little better so please excuse any of these problems and just read the stories.
-
If you’re inclined, write sequels or prequels to anything I’ve done, and I always welcome comments and notes.

Strong silent type, except when talkative. Mother, wife, writer, teacher, gamer, geek. Living.
I am currently writing two online serial novels at April Raines’ Storybook Corner. A dark fantasy called The Shadows of Sicily is the primary one. The secondary story is an exploration of community called GURD 2108. There is also a smattering of poetry.
My favourite books include: ’Kusiel’s Avatar’ by Jacqueline Carey, ‘The Stand’ by Stephen King, ‘New Enlarged Pocket Anthology of Robert Frost’s Poems’, and ‘Unconditional Parenting’ by Alfie Kohn.

I’m an amateur writer – I only write for fun and personal entertainment. I’ve never been published and don’t really have any aspirations to get that far. I just like making stuff up. :)
I’ve also found I tend to have a dark outlook in my writing. It seems my inner cynic is the one holding the pen.“Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.” — Molière

Ficleteer (not a ficlyteer), Computer Scientist, Philosopher.
The 60-1024-character short story form is still a ficlet, no matter what anyone says!
If you want a story to continue, sequel it, rather than waiting for someone else to.

I’m 18. I live in Chicago, IL.
Uhhh I’m going to school for illustration, but sometimes I just, like, love writing.I was on this site all the time maybe two years ago, but I haven’t been checking routinely in over 10 months.

I’m a unique individual
Mighty Joe Young is my father and Jesi was my wonderful step-mom -

- League of Awesomeness Oath.I spend most of my work days staring at one Excel chart or another. I am here to seek the sanctuary of words.
I love comments – leaving them and giving them.
If a piece or a challenge is good, I would like to know that you appreciated it.
If it is less than stellar, I appreciate that your comments will help me to improve. -
After a Ficly hiatus, I’m starting a new series with my old friend thebetweenspace. Check it out!

I’m a girl whose interests are so eclectic and diverse it’s almost schizophrenic.
I’m really a wild-eyed old woman from the past that made it here in a time machine made out of a DeLorean.
My mind is a mystery nobody can solve. -
This time, it’s mostly Jason’s fault. He’s the one who convinced me that we couldn’t just leave well enough alone. He got the designers to donate their time, and wrote all the HTML, CSS and 95% of the javascript. I did the models and controllers. Nope, we couldn’t just let it go. We had to try it again.
