This is the website I’ve been waiting for my whole life.

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

Tiphanie, a chick with boring brown eyes, does random things like make individual calendars for each month or get addicted to random, not-fun games. When she’s not ruining things, she paints and draws and writes all over everything, including but not limited to bedroom walls, desks, books, newspapers, the internet, and your face.
Lastly, she thinks talking in third person is absolutely hilarious.

Byn is a 19-year-old girl from New England. She has been writing for 7 years, and although she prefers to write fanfiction, she has been known to write a decent amount of original work, as well—especially in the area of science fiction. She hopes to someday publish her work, but until then, she is more than happy to share it for free. She is hopelessly addicted to Twitter, and her sometimes-excessive Tweets can be found here.

I write some things, I bullshit others. My age is a secret. Second class gramma ninja extraordinaire, international spy for the League of Awesomeness. Shhhhhh….
Thanks to Phil Plait of Bad Astronomy for leading me to this site.

You know that moment when you realize you’re in over your head?
“I am steeped in blood so far, that returning would be as tedious as going ahead.”

I missed this place. I missed posting. I can’t be the user that I was before, but I’m going to post. -
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!

The pen is mightier than the sword. How outdated. In the 1900’s, it would have been, “The typewriter is mightier than the machine gun.” But in modern times? “The word processor is mightier than the particle-beam weapon.”
I play video games, build things with Legos, and try to kid myself into thinking that I’m mature. I love dorking around with computers and I have a strange obsession with hats – nice ones, that is, no baseball caps. My dream is to either become a Masterbuilder or a drummer, and neither seem very close. Such is life.
Since joining Ficly, I’ve come to realize that I love playing off of other people’s work, reshaping their ideas to form some coherent things. Half my stories come either from challenges or from hitting the “Random Story” button and writing a sequel (I highly recommend this, the things that you’ll find are amazing!).

“29 I should have known better” – Gin Blossoms
As a child of the late 80’s and early 90’s, I’m kinda stuck there. Goonies, Gremlins, Die Hard and Major Leauge. Just don’t ask me to wear a Bandana.

Quote for today:
“I do feel honour creep upon me, and which is more, a certain rising in my flesh ;”
-from The Shoemaker’s Holiday by Thomas Dekker (in this work I came across the interesting word gallimafry, which I had not understood before…)
(This quote will soon disappear from here, better copy it if you want to keep it)
