This is fan fiction. I'm a big fan of suspense, thriller, and detective fiction. I have my favorite popular authors like Elmore Leonard who started writing in the Western genre. He did many books. His best known Western was"Hombre," which he wrote in 1961 and turned into a movie in 1967 starring Paul Newman. It wasn't later that he switched to his suspense drama, such as his novel "Get Shorty" written in 1990 and later a movie in 1995 starring John Travolta and Gene Hackman.
My favorite Western is "Rifleman." Now I've never read it, I'll have to confess. But I've watched a lot of the episodes. It is amazing how well it stands up today after running from 1958-1963 on TV. It's different, but it's not corny. It reflects the culture of the time when westerns ran wild on TV.
By the way this is totally PG. That's the way early TV was. I don't recall seeing an episode that used stereotypes of minorities, which is somewhat remarkable. And the acting and directing was just pretty darn good. So I like it. And now I am going to do my first fan fiction.

The Roamer Family Plantation
About 125 miles off the shores of Galveston, Texas, lies Grandiosia Isle: 300,000 acres of swamp, mountain, jungle, and thick pine forest. It has endured a lot-a blizzard during the early 1200s, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and in 1875 a forest fire scorched the entire island, rendering it uninhabitable for some time. As a result, the island was nearly devoid of forest life, except for creatures capable of flight, until 1994 when deer and such were reintroduced onto the island. What I'm going to share with you is a paraphrased compilation of journals discovered in chimneys, old basements, and beyond the island as well. I've woven together various segments and made adjustments for clarity and flow. This story is not focused on the Island itself, it is focused on the story and legacy of the esteemed Roamer Family. First arriving in June 1679, they made a mark on the island, but alas, forces removed them. Determined, they attempted a settlement once again, successfully taming the island. It all came to a fiery end in 1875 when the aforementioned fire burnt the island to a crisp, and with the island dead, the Roamer Family's legacy was lost to time.Complete
Our Long Dream
/"ATTENTION!" Commander Walton called. The others and i got into our lines before saluting the man. "In your 6 months of training here at the S.I.A, you will be pushed to your limits! You will work like slaves! We'll put you through so much hell that even Satan himself will be asking 'what the hell?'! I don't care that you want to be an investigator or a spy. Consider yourselves soldiers and everyone around you your comrades. Is that clear!?" "Sir, yes, Sir!". He then walked up to me. Fuck me. "Who are you and why did you come here?!" "Princeton Harris, Sir! I'm here to dedicate my life to the country!" "How old are you, Princeton?! You look like you haven't even learnt your colours yet!" "I-I'm 24, Sir!" "Bullshit! 24 and you're shorter than a fucking 5th grader!? Come back when you're at least 5'5!". He left before i could start cussing him out. I heard someone laugh. I looked over to the other line and saw some tall guy with blonde hair and green eyes. He smiled at me. I looked away./ Agent Harris is the Second-in-Command at the SIA (Spy and Investigator Agency). When a day -that started off normal- goes wrong, lives flash before his eyes. His own one, and another... This happens to him as he dreams a long dream. Their dream. (This story is a 2nd part of my previous one, but they don't have much correlation. Read whatever you want to read first.) -Smith and Harris are characters inspired by Erwin and Levi in AoT-Complete
Walkers, Arrows, Love and Daryl Dixon. What else can a girl ask for?
Hello! So I've been asked to write a walking dead fanfiction a couple times now, I know the series is over but never late then ever am I right? With that being said TWD is a long ass series I'm not sure how long I'll do this for. I am starting by season one of the series just cause it makes more sense and gives me more wiggle room for developments. Some things will change from the original plot, if you don't like it then I'm sorry but don't read it. Eventually I'll stray away from writing word by word of what the characters say, just cause it's a lot to go back and forth to watch the episode to see what exactly was said and done. WARNING: This fanfic will be mature, which means there's gore, SEX and other mature themes. There will be no warnings it'll just happen. So, if you get squeamish at sex then don't read. If you don't like gore...then why are you reading a zombie fanfic? DISCLAIMER: I do not own TWD or its characters. I only own my own. This is a fan fiction after all. Once again, there WILL be plot changes and this fanfiction might not go all the way to the last season. Please enjoy. Real Description: Name's Ivanna King, but most call me Ivy, Poison Ivy, or Red-not for my looks, but for my temper. I've tried working on it, but the military and the apocalypse didn't exactly help. I was helping the Doc with his research when alarms went off. On the monitor, a guy with pleading eyes and a sheriffs hat begged for help. Before I could object, the Doc let his group in. Now, with time ticking down and this place set to blow, I can't wait to see how they handle the truth. (Daryl Dixon x OC)
Behind Blood Red Eyes (Murder Drones x male reader)
I know this is different from my usual content, but I love this web series. This is my first time trying true fanfic, so I can't promise it'll be as good as my more original stories; however, I will still do my best to stay true to the original's content. This is also my first time dealing with some swearing, and I will keep it restricted to the ones used in the show. Additionally, I'm sorry to burst your bubbles, but this is NOT a reader x character story, it's only a reader insert. Finally, this story will have slower updates since I have to wait for the next episodes to come out; I unfortunately can't see into the future. And now, if you're still interested, I will not keep you waiting any longer. Note: I'll be splitting the episodes into parts, otherwise they would be too long. Plot (Y/N) is a worker drone living in the bunker with his mother; however, calling the place safe is misleading because not only are the savage disassembly drones constantly trying to get in, but every few weeks someone goes missing without a trace. When (Y/N) is dragged into the den of the beasts terrorizing his home, he's soon forced to go down a long and twisted rabbit hole, while discovering that there's more to him than meets the eye. All characters belong to their rightful owners.Complete

Dallas Winston x fem!OC Based on the movie and book (but mostly the movie); 'The Outsiders', I give all credits to S.E Hinton, I only own my OC and her storyline. Rated Matrue due to violence, crude language, talk of illegal substances, sexual themes, underage alcohol consumption, and smoking ciggerates. [On hold] - I wrote this back in 2021 when I was reading The Outsiders for the first time, (and completely fell in love with Matt Dillon as Dally) so please forgive the horrible grammar and spelling 😭🙏, I'm back again revisiting my Outsiders obsession, and I'm editing it, thank you 💓 This story is also highly inspired by when I watched the outsiders and then listened to 'Folklore' by Taylor Swift and 'AM' by Arctic Monkeys, so I would recommend doing the same 🤭 -
The Thrill of It All | ✓
A prequel to the screenplay, "The Blue Herring", written by myself in 2018. However, this short story can also stand on its own. (I recommend reading the screenplay first.) ---------------------------------------------------- 18 y/o Lionel Enright, having recently graduated as Valedictorian of his high school class, is self-considered a misfit of sorts. However, he has never been let down by his incredible intellect. Others know this as well--including the members of his town's skillfully concealed criminal alliance, Decadent. Being a young, clever lad whose name is scarcely known in his hometown of New Haven, Connecticut, he is the perfect contender for induction. In other words, their ideal new recruit. For all of his life, Lionel has never been a trouble-maker; not once a delinquent, a hot-head, or a player of any kind. However, Decadent has been known to change people--to change their paradigm and how they view themselves and the world around them. It has also been known that after a while, those members who were hesitant will no longer want to leave. In other words, as time carries on, they eventually come to enjoy the thrill of it all.Complete
Unstoppable
The claws had emerged before I'd even realised, gently tearing their way through my skin, running their way through my arms and changing my body into the one thing I thought I'd hated, but I'd begun to love more than anything: a monster. ---------------------- High school. A place where children go to grow their minds and adapt to adulthood. Where nothing but popularity and grades matter. I was a weird kid. I still am, but that's besides the point. One day, I walked into the wrong class, and something went wrong. Turns out, Things got weirder and weirder. Suddenly, popularity and grades don't really matter anymore. Survival does. ---------------------- *Blood, gore, violent murders, etc. Do happen in this book. * *It is in no way linked to any sort of actual murders or shootings (no shootings happen in a school) that have or will happen. My thoughts and respect go out to all of the families affected to any of this, and the only reason this book was created is because my ideas are lack lustre at best.* *I try to keep every chapter limited to around 1000 words. If the chapters feel short, I'm very sorry* ---------------------- \_(•_•)_/Complete
