I am a young poetess and the author of anime-style chapbooks (short print books under 80 pages) like Dragonworld ETC and I am also the author of a super long collection of flash fiction and poetry called Dragons & Cicadas.

The stories take place in a fantastical world full of interesting aliens. I write only short stories and poetry, most range from 1k to 15k words but vary in different genres.

I enjoy taking risks in the world of writing I want Chapbooks to become the "norm" of the publishing world. And to those thinking of sending a request: please, don't send a friend request unless you really want to. I currently cannot respond to messages on this account either. I need to keep my circle small, and right now it is medium.

Quotes by L'Poni Baldwin  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Do you know what it’s like to kill a man? You just pushed a knife into living, moving skin and you realize you pierced a heart that beats against your sharp knife.

-Lucas Tyrel”
Nipaporn Baldwin, Dragons and Cicadas: The Society On Da Run

“To all those whom seek the iron words of the community: if your book is good, it will stand on its own. Be it a short story, a novel, a novella, a chapter book, a poetry book, a chapbook, a manga or a graphic novel...it will seek reviews by itself. You need to do nothing with it. Do nothing but write. Give up review seeking and focus on writing, for that is what becomes you in the end.”
L'Poni Baldwin

“I saw the last piece of innocence unfurl inside of her.

-Nick Plato (from the story Platonick)”
Nipaporn Baldwin, Dragons and Cicadas: The Society On Da Run

Interracial and A...: Dragonboy*Con: Goodreads Convention 1 13 Apr 30, 2012 08:22PM  
“He taunted me, "Pony boy, pony boy," because I liked ponies. Pony boy. He always came to vent his anger of dragons on me. They must really like us. They hide behind their Wasp Queen and pretend to hate us dragons, but in truth they love us. Why else would they bother with fucking us? That sentence probably turned you off. Thing is, I'm a very vulgar boy.

-Chance Karrucci (the Sweet Dragon)”
Chanceus Karrucci, Dragons and Cicadas: The Society On Da Run

“Do you know what it’s like to kill a man? You just pushed a knife into living, moving skin and you realize you pierced a heart that beats against your sharp knife.

-Lucas Tyrel”
Nipaporn Baldwin, Dragons and Cicadas: The Society On Da Run

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

“You can have all the wine and dragons that my money can buy. That’s what the old woman told me, and I listened.”
Darcy Windbloom, Dragons and Cicadas: The Society On Da Run

“When he removed his robes, you could see the hundreds of scars and bruises that shamelessly decorated his body. Huge black bruises, long scars that came from sword lacerations and whips and new wounds that bled fresh red blood.
The Dragonboy's father had no idea his son suffered.
That's because the boy never told.

From The Binding, a story from the upcoming tenth update of Dragons and Cicadas

L'Poni i have returned, slightly, but only to inquire about a story i have due.

those 2 star and 1 star reviews still hurt my kokoro.


message 6: by L

L Dear L'Poni,
Thanks so much for the friendship request! You are a fantastic moderator for the Dragon's group, and i am always interested in the new discussions and ideas that you bring.
I would love to have the oportunity of reading your work, as i am really interested in Dragons and sci-fi/ fantasy fiction. I however tend to only read Paperbacks or Hardbacks as my computer is only usable for internet (and i am unable to read PDF books or Kindle apps. on it anymore). I also am not in possession of an e-reader unfortunately.
Kind Regards
Lucinda x

I see you are familiar with Clusterfudge XD. It is a fantastical word, isn't it? A reply has been sent through the electronic messaging system. I highly suggest a sacred off-limits email for business and/or matters such as this one, but do not create too many electronic handles or thee will loose track of them.

PS: I has v1sited FB to add ur page 2 my page's faves.

Ooooooooo I wanna join! I got an email for that yesterday. I'll join that and NaNoReMo (visual novel month), although I'm very late for the latter.

Keep on writing poetry~! Mine is........I haven't gotten to it :( but that's only because I've been writing stories for tomorrow's update and *still* revamping Dragon War 1-3 and working on an outline for the collaboration story. I found out the contest has a $20 entry fee so I'll have to use money from my lovely parent to enter the contest. What's Camp NaNoWriMo? Is that a place where people can talk about their NaNos?

Your welcome! And Yup! I am going to start working on a chapbook to enter for the contest. And here I was thinking Twitter was useless.
