    “Stand back! I have a keyboard and I’m not afraid to use it.”

    This site is totally awesome. I really enjoyed ficlets.com (where I went by my alternative handle of kjaneway), and I thought that it was a great shame that the decision was made to close it.

    However, one of the useful things was that everything was Creative Commons licensed, so though the site itself went away, we didn’t lose the explosion of creativity it generated.

    And now we’re back; hopefully, to be even better than before.

    So, you want to know about me:

    1. I really, really hate describing myself, especially in little textboxes
    2. I got into writing via fanfic, mostly playing with lesbian subtext in sci-fi shows
    3. I like correct spelling and use of punctuation, and good grammar
    4. I adore the limitations of the ficly format, and won’t post unless I’ve hit the magical 1024 characters
    5. I can’t remember a time when I couldn’t read, and I think life without the creative arts wouldn’t be worthwhile
    6. I hold an honours degree in Chemistry

    My ficly “Into the Arms of Digital Angels” (http://ficly.com/stories/2740) was expanded into a short story which got published!

    Check it out here:

    Took a year off from Ficly in which I did the following:

    Self published a short story collection just for my wife
    Moved from Southern California to Pittsburgh PA
    Named Executor of the Estate of my father after he commited suicide

    So it goes…

    Please be kind and leave constructive criticism as I’m from the land down under and the way I describe things may be a wee bit different to the way you verbalise.

    Ahoy! Who am I? I’m just another writer who has migrated here from the retired ficlets.com. Well, I guess when one door closes, another one opens, right?

    Guess what else? I am a member of another online writing site, called Protagonize! My pen name there is SaveTheUnicorns as well!

    Anyways, feel free to comment on any of my work! I love getting feedback! And if you want me to read any of your stories, just ask me! I’d be delighted to!

    About me:

    I am a very unique and creative human being. I value the essence of who I am. In other words, I am me; what can I say? I may seem weird and outrageous at times, but I am also loyal and trustworthy, and I will never let you down. I am a member to many online communities, and I love to go on the computer.

    I’m a fairly shy individual. Sometimes I’m just in my own little world. But, for the record, I am not an outcast or a total loner. I’m just a deep thinker who ponders the essence of life. I have yet to find out what that is. However, most people have come to accept me for my uniqueness, for which I am eternally grateful.

    Everyone deserves to be loved. People have accepted me for being different, and that has taught me to accept others who are different than myself. Wonderful lessons.

    I also love unique clothing and jewelry! Cows are awesome too! MOOOOO!!!!! Even though I am very strange sometimes, I am still a worthwhile, intelligent, talented person.

    I know not to let some people push my buttons and make me mad, even if they try to. I am a strong person, just with different strengths than others.

    Since I am a hormonal teenage girl, I am occasionally prone to emotional breakdowns. But hey, it’s all good! Writing is a great outlet for me, as it helps me express my emotions. Yarn is also very nice, especially rainbow yarn.

    By the way, did I mention that I totally love rainbows? Yep, that’s me, the Unique Rainbow Child. If you can’t accept and cherish me, then it’s your loss! I am proud to be me and I would never let anyone rob me of that freedom.

    We must all continue in our efforts to save the unicorns! For they are God’s creatures too!

    I hope you have enjoyed viewing my online profile, and feel free to visit again anytime. And remember: even in hard times like these, there is always a rainbow after every storm.

    17 year old attempting to juggle my beloved writing and A-Levels. Please be gentle =) Thought it might be time to write a proper profile piece. I’m…er…Abby. And…well…that’s me there. Somewhere to the…erm…left I think. Yup. I kind of comment on everything. I’m like a commenting freak. And … erm…this is a hell of a lot harder than I anticipated.

    I’m also a geek. I’m a Trekky, Lord of the Rings addict, Star Wars fan…well I’ll sum it up by saying I love all things ComicCon. I’m an artist too. Ooh and I love history. And science. I can’t stop playing Assassin’s Creed…and Runescape. So bite me, blondies!!!

    I have alcoholic tendencies =P … judgement will be met with drunken vomitting so good luck with that!

    If I was religious, I think God would have kicked me out by now. Yet I still class myself as Christian, how odd.

    All things truly evil come in cute packages. So don’t mess with the panda hat, OK?

    Oh and I’ve written 11 books. But I can’t be bothered to publish. =S
    Love ya.

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

    Beneath the regular writers sits a young girl, pen trembling in her hand. She tries to put words on paper, but nothing comes out but painfully choppy verse. She drops the pen, looking up at the regulars in their creative glory. She sees many people she’d take a bullet for, but cannot stifle the envy toward. She remembers when she was a shining example of what a writer should be, but that time is long since gone. She lays her notebook down and draws her legs under her, praying for inspiration.

    Feedback makes my heart race.

    If you don’t like the limit, go to Protagonize.

    A no-name, aspiring author who can’t stop writing. Looking ahead, he strives for perfection. Shackled by various forms of entertainment, he dreams of success. Most stories here are an invitation to YOU, to join me in creating new stories, new worlds, and a different tomorrow.
