A FEW SMALL FACTS
about a one penelope ledger
Penelope Ledger does not like her name; she opts to go by Penny instead. That is what her friends should call her - if she had friends, anyways.
Instead of talking to people, Penny spends time reading and listening and watching to people who were never alive and to people who are famous for their voices and to people who are just putting on acts. Those people will one day be forgotten. Penny does not want to forget them.
Penny's blood parents are dead. Her foster parents don't know that she knows that.
Penny has hidden photos of her blood parents around her room, searched up and found on the internet with her foster father's credit card. One of the photos is printed out and kept in a locket around her neck. When her foster father questioned her about the money, she lied and said that she used it to buy upgrades in Temple Run.
Penny is bored with her life.
Penny wonders what it would be like to live another life.
Penny doesn't know it yet, but she's going to get her wish - and it's much more than she'd bargained for.

The Secret Project
"How do I know you're not the one who's taking pictures of me?" I smiled, shrugged, and laid back. "You don't. That's the part that makes it thrilling. You have to keep it a secret at all costs, to win." "The worst part is...if I were to guess you, and got it wrong, I'd lose." "'Risk and reward'...or...'All good comes to those who wait'? In the end, River, it's your choice. It always is." ©mrs_mikitahoran-2015-2016 COMPLETED "I thought that this story was different because a lot of other fanfictions I read tend to have River as an actor meeting someone while he was acting. I liked that this story had River meeting someone while at school and then having an assignment where he had to figure out who was taking pictures of him. The part with Sevine taking pictures of River was really sweet. I read this story as often as you updated, and I was interested to see what happened." -AnneComplete

Just using them as inspiration for the story and how the characters look like. The collages are made by me. Created this story from pure imagination based on a part of a dream. (which the scene that was inspired by it will happen near the end depends how I feel about the story.) Names my sound similar to the actual people they are inspired by and some are just combinations of what I came up with. ~Warning~ I might change characters appearance to make them seem older as story may go along.

The Fine Print of Falling
Penelope Beckett is a young woman of many talents. Be it art, photography, or the uncanny knack for getting herself into trouble she can't quite wriggle out of on her own, she's mastered it all. She's the type of person who can talk her way into a VIP party but somehow forget to talk her way out of a parking ticket. A walking contradiction- both fiercely independent and yet somehow always needing to be bailed out of something. Sophomore year of college was supposed to be smooth sailing. She had the perfect plan: keep her grades up (just enough to not get a concerned call from her parents), keep her part-time photography gig going, and most importantly-avoid drama at all costs. But life, as usual, had other plans. She tells herself she has everything under control. She tells herself she doesn't need anyone to save her. And then, of course, someone comes along who makes her question all of that. Because trouble might be Penelope Beckett's specialty-- but this time, it isn't just legal trouble. It's him.
A sinful love Travis Phelps x reader (discontinued)
'I know things started off badly and you probably don't see me the same way I see you. I thought maybe if I told you how I feel, things could be different. The truth is, I can't stop thinking about you. I'm crazy about you. I think you're amazing! But I know these feelings I have are wrong. It's not the way a boy should feel. Shame swallows me whole, just writing these words. My father would kill me but I can't live in his shadow forever. I just...'
