I was thinking that some of you Nerdfighters probably have some great writing, so why don't you post links to it here? I'm sure there's lots of people who would love to read your stuff.

Dah. Okay.So, first off is my novel, Where Things Stay Hidden, which is about a guy who goes to live with his grandparents in a small town. It's about more than that, but I'm not in an explaining mood.

Next is something that Yue and I are writing together, which happens to be the best freaking novel you've ever read. Well, maybe not, but it IS an edgy story about two guys who decide to see who can lose their virginity first. I give you The Virginity Wars:

And then, poems, which people seem to really like...Poemania.

POST YOURS YUE.
You could always post links to your figment writing. DUH.
*sighs*Hey, check out Yue's figment page.

Everything there is pretty good, although I've to this day only read like two of them...
As for ERTSO.
Um.
I realized things.
Like that it had three different endings in my mind.
And that none of the endings made sense.
And that everything about where I wanted it to go was idiotic.
And that it was going to be a super shallow story where a boy gets pissed off because he can't get laid because one of his friends is a bitch and the other is a lesbian.
Which is probably just me a little pissed off because I can't get laid.
Just kidding about that last part.
But, yeah, ERTSO is sort of dead to me now.
But if you want to know the ending I had in mind, which I'm sure you would hate, I can email it to you.
This short story I wrote for a contest that I thought was awful turned out to really work out for me. I won first prize!!! *dances* I have a $50 Amazon gift card coming my way :D
To be honest, I wasn't very happy with the story. It was for the same guy who I wrote Empties for (Empties won third in that contest) and I just didn't feel like it was my best writing. I went for humor, which is what I do, usually, but I guess I just didn't feel like it worked. I guess I was wrong! I may reread it and see what I think now that it won.
http://theneverchronicles.com/This guy has contests all the time. He's had two so far. I've entered both, and they're great. Even if you don't win, you get great critiques on your writing that really help out. They pointed out a flaw in Empties that I would have never caught.
He'll post it whenever...well, whenever he posts all the winners.
Thanks for the feedback.First off, they are, in my eyes, good friends but he/she doesn't have the courage to take it further. When I wrote it, my idea was that they were together and the speaker was watching her. So, yeah, the speaker would have to drive her home.
The barefoot thing: Girls around here are always wearing sandals, no matter the weather. Which I find ridiculous. But I wanted to make her seem sort of gritty, which I chose to do by making her stub it out with her foot. I agree that its stupid that her feet aren't in shoes, but it could happen. (Which admittedly is an excuse I just made up on the spot. But, hey, it works.)
Last point. I digress. The kiss was still a sort of innocent thing, but the speaker was thinking about touching her when their thoughts strayed more below the belt. It was getting more hot and heavy, and they were getting handsy. That's what's going on there. They would still be kissing at this point.
Don't feel like I'm getting defensive with you, I just wanted to support my poem.
You should post your own writing here ;) I don't want to be the only one.
Which is why you should show it, because we'll give you advice. (And I'm sure it's not that bad. An author is a bad judge of their own work and all that.)
Good wow from me. I LOVE how you make it feel romantic, and you don't realize what's actually happening until the end. Great job.
Gaah have to finish my novel soon so I can post it o.o

I have my first two novels (working on the third) on my author page available for free in-browser reading.
