"What do I expect to find out here, why do I continue this doomed journey, I ran out of water twelve hours ago, everything on and within my body feels as if it may crumble and take flight on the wind."- The Wastelands
This story began as a poem to describe that hopeless feeling we all have experienced. I hope someone reads this and actually enjoys it. Hopefully someone likes it enough to design a cover, I'd really appreciate that. I'd love to see what the Wastelands look like to the readers. Who knows I could mix it up, extend it, and come up with a different ending. Constructive feedback Please?!

RWBY: New
I don't now what's going on anymore. First I was home. Then in another world. In order for me to live here I must learn everything I can about here, As well as to make sense of why I'm even here. Hopefully this wont turn into a horror film but then again I'm in the world of RWBY right? What could possibly go wrong? Other than the Symbols in general, I own the entire cover. I drew every part of it in paint Note: This is a story written by more than one person, the first 8 chapters were written by Alpha Beowolf on fanfiction.net, until I took over after he ran out of inspiration. This is still on fanfiction under the title "NEW".Complete
Hidden (Papa IV X Male)
*THIS STORY IS REMAINING UNFINISHED* An aspiring and burnt out writer finds inspiration for their new book in the old ghost stories of their hometown. Namely, a secret cult hiding out in the woods. In an attempt to search for this group, he is thrust into an unfamiliar world of sin and, surprisingly, compassion. *I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OF THE BAND GHOST* *this story does not use the Y/N format but the main character is purposefully pretty undeveloped as of now to make up for that* This story contains heavy language, sexual themes and innuendos, and other adult themes. Discretion is advised. I am a fairly young writer, so constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome and encouraged!Complete

Silver Umbrellas
"We... We all thought you two were..." Cover your heads, grab your umbrella, and don't stay out after dark. The world isn't how we remember it to be. Follow along as our cast of characters is forced to navigate a deadly everyday maze of monsters, dehydration, and malice just to stay alive long enough to seize their only chance to go home. ----------------------------------- Hello~ This is a short story and an AU that could also function as future events after "Homeless." Rated PG-13 just in case, but it's not too intense to handle (at least, early on. Later, maybe it will get more intense). PLEASE NOTE THAT I SAID "COULD ALSO FUNCTION," NOT "SEQUEL TO HOMELESS." DON'T GET CONFUSED. Basically, this is an attempt at me being both poetic and angsty with my surroundings. I hope you enjoy it! There will probably be slower updates than I used to have, so please just bear with me. And I drew that cover, yo. I'm so freaking proud of it, you have no idea.Complete
Lost treasures (Furry x male human)
This is my first story, and I need to learn how this works... so go easy on me. And I don't own any of the art or cover art used in the story. Credit goes to the artist. I'm also thinking about just rewriting the whole story in the future maybe... But idk yet. You're Y/N. You heard rumors of a island with some sort of treasure in it.. Nobody knows what exactly the treasure is... But people that have tried to figure it out have gone missing. Except for a crazy old man you saw on the streets warning everyone about the island, But you were always a curious person, and you needed that money so you can afford living in your home.. So you decide to solve the mystery yourself, but what you find was unexpected.. and disturbing... You are not the same as what you once were. I may do a rewrite for this story, because I'm embarrassed by how it turned out.Complete
It wasn't my fault
This is a novella I had to write for school and I would like some feed back. EXCERPT Pain is something I've become very accustomed to. Whether I like it or not. It sounds mental though, I know. My biggest fear is being alone, even though I already am. As I walk into the school I see them, my 'friends'. They're sitting in the quad all chatting to one another. I try to turn around before one sees me but I see one waving me over so I'm left with no choice but to go. "Hey guys" I greet them with a shaky voice. So if anyone has feedback for me or just wants to talk comment or message me anytime and I'll get back to you as soon an I can. Also I need a good book cover so if you send me one I'll use it but in the mean time I'll be looking for one.Complete
You Were Always a Daydreamer Draft Version
When you're forced to mask Reality with Fantasy. The lifted layers finally unveil the tombstone of self. The biggest cities into the tiniest pebbles The massive ideas and thoughts formed into merely something to fear. A protagonist who already forgot his name Remembers He is a Daydreamer. Which is the only way to cope with life after multiple tragedies. And the fraud on fake friends faces. Only to daydream. As losing touch takes a toll on that rotting indulgence slowly. This get's quite horrific as it goes on. It's not to enjoy but to reflect on and experience. I decided to publish the draft version, because I don't think I can fully finish YWAADD final edition any time soon. I am in the worst mental and emotional state ever. It's quite a struggle and I suffer heavily. So yeah, the polished draft kind of holds up aswell too. The final one is way longer and eventful. So, um yeah I don't expect this to get attention at all, it's kind of really mid in some parts. But enjoy, or don't I guess. Yes this was inspired by Everywhere At The End Of Time. And other fan projects.Complete
