so many mini-stories and scenes pop into my head & i have absolutely no time to develop them into full novels so I'm making a book of one shots. This book will feature people that I feel should be utilized more in fanfics or be casted in leading roles in novels on here more. This will also be another platform for me to showcase the multi-dimensionality of african americans. so enjoy.
