Prior to the Newsboy Strike of 1899, Anthony "Racetrack" Higgins is a young boy growing up in Hell's Kitchen in New York City.  It's not a healthy environment for a kid, but it is a great training ground for a king of New York.  There's no shortage of new people to meet and scrapes to get into. Though Racetrack must navigate a volatile home-life and the American people's fear of the changing demographics, he knows that there isn't a better place for a man with charisma and ambition than New York City.  With hard work and a bit of luck, fame and fortune are within even the poorest slum kid's grasp.  The odds are against him, but Racetrack isn't about to let bum odds stop him--especially when it's his life he's wagered!

When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise the distribution price one-tenth of a cent per paper, ten cents per hundred, the newsboys, poor enough already, are outraged. Inspired by the strike put on by the trolley workers, Jack "Cowboy" Kelly organizes a newsboys' strike. With David Jacobs as the brains of the new union, and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful.

Love Is A First (Spot Conlon Fanfiction) by cyndiblack

NOTE: CURRENTLY UNDERGOING REVISION! Twilight Eventide is a 15 year old girl who has a temper, a bad temper. That's where she got her name, Tempest. She is a real good fighter and can take care of herself pretty well. When she was 5, her parents were taken away and murdered, therefore she had to run away and ended up in Manhattan, for everyone thought she was the one that did it. Jack Kelly, who became her unofficial brother, took her in after a few years and brought her up to fight and sell papers. She has no need to dress up as a boy, being herself is much more intimidating. Tempest cannot do anything and thinks there should be more excitement in her boring dull New York life. Spot is the feared newsie leader from Brooklyn. He is known as a big womanizer, but he hasn't found "the one" yet. Right now he is with a girl named Livia, a greedy shirtwaist factory girl. He is a pretty good leader for Brooklyn, his cane that he stole from Pulitzer and his slingshot are his main weapons. Being intimidating has always been his way to get people to do what he wants, but it doesn't work on Tempest, not one bit. As they meet, will these two powerful newsies clash? Or will they be able to tolerate each other, at least until the end of the strike? (I do not own any Newsies Characters except the ones that I made up!)

You are the Key--A Newsies (Spot Conlon) Fan Fiction #2 by LoofahsSwanson

When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise the distribution price one-tenth of a cent per paper, ten cents per hundred, the newsboys, poor enough already, are outraged. Inspired by the strike put on by the trolley workers, Jack "Cowboy" Kelly organizes a newsboys' strike. With David Jacobs as the brains of the new union, and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful. (Written by Kaitlin Dwyer Rankins) Jack and David were the main characters, but they could not do it without Spot Conlon. Little is known about the King of Brooklyn, but as a character based on a boy who actually lived, he must have had dreams and ambitions just like fictional Jack and David. Here are my writings in a small attempt to give Spot Conlon the story--and the ending--he deserves.
