More Box-O-Doom
Here's three more mini-stories. Two are based on Box-O-Doom prompts, the other was a group thing where we all wrote zombie romances (or something like that).
Two Shorts
In the writing group I go to, we have something known as "Shay's Box of DOOOM!" It randomly gives you a person, place, thing, and situation and you have to write a story incorporating all of them. Being random, one can end up with some pretty odd stories at times. Here are two of mine.
Victory in the End
Well, everything on the site seems to be working, so I suppose it's time to start actually posting stuff. This first thing is a fanfic I wrote over a period of a year or so back in '05-'06 based on the French-based 3D cartoon Code Lyoko. Reading it now I can see some really dumb mistakes, but for what might be considered my first serious story it's not too bad. (There's no forgiving a there/their mistake, though. :| ) One thing I noticed is that I apparently had a small habit of pop-culture references that no one will probably get, and each time the lines seem out of character and aren't even that funny. I'm not gonna tell you where they are, but I will say that I at least reference The Princess Bride and FLCL.
Since it bugs me to hear other artists tear down their own work, I will say that I like the characterization of Odd and particularly Aelita here; I think I got them fairly close to the original characters. The twinkies may have been a bit much though. :P
Anyway, here it is. If you're not familiar with Code Lyoko, it will probably be a bit confusing, but it's fanfic so I suppose it's to be expected. I'm just posting a PDF with the story because I don't feel like re-writing this into HTML right now.
So, enjoy.
