A university hosted award winning short-story about two exceptionally talented twins: one with an amazing gift for music, and the other the greatest scientific mind in his generation. Critics of the writing competition had this to say about the story:
- '"Heartsong"... attempts an ambitious narrative structure, and it had some genuinely moving moments... The linkage between science and art was quite moving-the implication that the two songs are the same, with one brother capturing it through art and the other through science, is really a nice touch.'
- "The narrative structure is familiar, but well done, with a narrative frame containing a backstory. We don't the know the significance or what is at stake with any of it until the very end. Sometimes that doesn't work well for a story, but in this case, I think the author pulled it off, due in large part to the compelling description, subject matter, and character development."

SILVER EYES (GXG)
[2024 WATTYS WINNER] Data predicts they will fail. Their hearts say otherwise. In a world sliced in two by a violent, massive wall, there are only two choices: struggle for survival in the dead lands of the Other Side, or surrender your identity to the data-driven Reg Society. When Grace Hayes and her brother Michael decide to cross the wall into the Reg Society, they have no idea an explosion will tear their world apart, leaving Michael stranded on the Other Side. Grace, now alone in a high-tech "paradise", is assigned as a Naval Officer. Her mission? Protect the wall. Her reality? A cold, blue-eyed superior, Heather Anderson, the woman who closed the gates the day of the attack and left her brother behind. Getting close to Heather might be the only way to uncover the truth and bring Michael back. But in a society where memories can be bought, altered, or erased, trust is a dangerous game, and falling for the enemy was never part of the plan.

At the center of it all is you - Ensign Nine - whose unique connection to the crew fuels their strength, heightens their powers, and stokes desires no one can resist. As bonds deepen and boundaries blur, the team must battle monstrous creatures, unravel ancient mysteries, and confront their own evolving natures to survive. Prepare for explosive action, shocking twists, and sizzling chemistry in this reverse harem space odyssey inspired by the minds of @Usako1935 and @ThisPeachIsDirty, and of course Stray Kids.

Schematic Beauty
A first, crap, draft of a story I'm rewriting in a universe I made up when I was 18 and still love. I don't really intend to publish this - it's the base for what's probably going to be a film, if I can get the main characters to stop jabbering at each other. I haven't touched this draft for more than two years. You get to look at it and see what shit I don't send to the publishers. :) Featuring: infodumps! Run on sentences! Extended metaphors that don't make sense! Purple prose for the sake of purple prose!Complete
