After analysing so many books, stories and pieces of literature I have come to a conclusion that the right name can be a difference between an amazing piece of work or a total piece of shit.
As I'm writing this I am looking outside of the window and seeing two adorable birds acting all coupley, and I don't know why I'm writing that or why it caught my attention but I can't help myself they're too unusual....
Anyway, back to my writing.
I can give you, reader, advice on how to give perfect names for so many different kinds of situations, stories, and characters... although my weakness is remembering names, but that doesn't matter because I'm really good at giving names.
One of the birds just flew off. The other one did a shit. But you didn't need to know that did you? Huh?

Double Down (a double standards series) Dark Romance (Part 7)
I didn't ask to be born into this world, none of us did but we make the best of it. I'm a twenty-five year old single man. Why you may ask? Because I've seen what love can do to a person. It can destroy them. My parent's are amazing but I can still remember the time's my father threatened to kill my mother, left us due to his mental illness. Besides who needs one main women when I can have a different one under me every night, money to blow and fast cars. I'm just enjoying my time until I take my Papes place at the throne. Most nights are spent living it up with my cousins who are my only friends. However there is the one girl that has caught my eye and I don't know why. I first spotted her at a random coffee house I stepped into. Usually I'm very talkative especially when I'm trying to snag a chic but I couldn't utter a word to her. I barely managed to place my order. Now, I find myself going out of my way to stop by that coffee shop everyday. It doesn't matter that it's out of my way. The only thing that matters is that I see her. I knew I could take her if I really wanted to but I can't make myself to do it. She sees me enter and shoots me that amazing smile and prepares my order without even asking what I want, she knows. She'll offer a greeting but all I can do is nod my head. She makes me lose my word's. Deep in my mind I wonder if she could be the one that could change my mind on love and that scares me. For now I'm satisfied at seeing her for the few minutes it takes to get my coffee. Besides I'm a killer, a future mob king and she's this delicate flower that wouldn't understand my world. It's best to cut my loses and move on. If only I knew her name..Complete
All My Life
As the hero and allies go to face off against the dark forces in one epic battle, faulty architectural support leads our protagonist to the bottom of the pit where she must decide the fate of not only her people, but her enemies' as well. This story was written for a friend of mine fore Christmas in about a week and was also the first story I ever completed so I understand that the writing isn't the greatest but that's why I'm putting it here, to get constructive criticism to help further my writing knowledge. I also do know that a lot of the names are from other works but they were a reference for my friend to figure out to make the story a little bit more personal for here (and now I'm posting it for the public but she said I could). Furthermore, if you notice any inconsistency in the names, like 'Frisk' being written instead of 'Fritz', just let me know and I'll fix it. I was writing this after playing Undertale so I had that name in my mind and might not of caught every mistake I made.Complete
ππ πππ ππππ π ππππ//πππππ ππππ ππ (staying unfinished)
-this story is not finished but I lost motivation to keep writing, sorry- Ali Sanders is doing perfectly fine without a lover, but once Draco Malfoy comes and makes her sit in the hospital wing for a month, they start to have a love/hate relationship. - I do not own any of the characters names except mine of course. Most of the scenes I made on my own mind. So not all credit goes to me.Complete

Mary Daniels and the Prisoner of Malfoy Manor
I do not own the characters or settings of Harry Potter at all and I am only creating this story for entertainment purposes "You are the start of a new order, you are the beginning, and we were the end. We don't expect you to be like, us, and frankly if you were we'd be shocked. We named you after the beginning of our line, Mary Daniels, because you both are one in a billion" I want to warn all possible readers that this story is a fancfiction based on both the books AND the movies. Though most of the moments will be made up by me, some of the moments will be taken from one of the 'canon' mediums, and if you see a moment that is an alteration from the books, assume it came from the movies (or from my brain, obviously)
Queen Oneshots (Slash)
Queen slash. Old drabbles/oneshots I wrote long ago + some newer ones. May use some of these for a story in the future. I wanted a place to put them and figured I might as well share them. Range from smut/angst/fluff. Though I honestly tend to write angst either by itself or with fluff/smut. 2024 NOTE: I'm finally reading this after writing it ~7 years ago.... what was wrong with me? Don't get me wrong, l'm glad people have found my fics and enjoy them; I cannot help but look back at the things I wrote as a teenager without editing it all in my head! Or worse, wanting to delete it! Don't worry, though. I know the pain of a good fic being deleted and if these are good to someone l'd hate to be that person but gahhhhhhhh I clearly needed therapy and a thesaurus.Complete
Survivors
Many, many, many years after the Warriors Cats books. The cover photo is of two of the main cats, Littlebit and Minibit. Just so it's also knows, I did this many years ago and might go through it again and fix how it's written. It was my first story I've EVER written and I think it kinda sucks. I named it Survivors before Erin Hunter started the dog series named Survivors. Its all kind of a coincidence. Please leave me some comments on things to possibly fix, because I do want to fix it one day and try to make it as good as I really wanted it to be. So any kind of creative criticism is accepted, but if you just tell me it's good or it sucks, that won't really help me. Tell me what's good. Tell me what sucks. Please and thanks :) Cat names at the beginning of the house cats are nicknames of me and my friends then two of my actual cats that I have at home. I know I need to do something with all of the other names, but I need help with that. So, suggestions of names to fit each cat would also be appreciated. Hope you enjoy the story.Complete
She's The Girl Next Door (MAJOR EDITING)
'Bad Boys Ain't Good But Good Boys Ain't No Fun.' "Don't look, but it's the king of being horny behind you." I automatically looked behind me, making Autumn scoff at me. She shook her head. "Ace Ford." Autumn's face retorted in disgust. "Every girl's 'dream guy'." Her fingers made quotation marks. "Let me just tell you Jane, that boy is disgusting." Ace leaned against the railing of the bleachers. He pushed his dark brown hair back and smirked as he talked to one of the blonde cheerleaders. "How so?" I questioned, turning back towards her. She raised an eyebrow. "Just look at the guy, doesn't he just scream 'I won't have sex with you and immediately ditch you unless you have dubble D's and the IQ of a goldfish?'" "He can't be that bad." I said, causing her to snort. ___________ Warning: Very Mild cursing. That's why I'm making it PG13 guys. Read at own risk. Hope you guys like the story. ____________ 2k16 edit: Howdy, how are you doing this godawful day? Burning in hell for your sins? Same! Great. Now that the formalities are out the window I'd just like to say... WHY AM I SUCH A DISGRACE TO MANKIND. What is this writing /-~-\ oh goodness gracious. How does this doodoo have 6k reads *siiiiiiiigh* My writing has improved at ton (I am assuming) and this was my first book so please, pretty pretty please don't hate me for all the mistakes and plot holes. I- I am very ashamed myself. And Engelesh is NOT my first language either so haaaaa, life. Mistakes were made so don't kill me. Okay, that's all for me. I still hope you somehow enjoy the story nonetheless and have a GREAT existence! ______ 2020 update So, I started writing this when I was 11. I am 18 now and haven't edited this since I was 15. I hope that says enough. Try to ignore the spelling and grammar mistakes!Complete
