I like to write, but my writing is restricted to fanfiction and original stories that will not be read by many people, although they might be submitted onto Fictionpress.

It's a website where you can post original stories and poetry. Fanfiction.net is a place like Fictionpress.com, but for fanfics, of course.

I have ideas for stories, but I don't have much lined paper, so... xD
There's three-- actually, four-- stories in my mind right now (all Christian, by the way *shot*), which were inspired by dreams I had:
The Paths of the Righteous: I already have the plot of three books in the series in my head, but I'll stick with the first book for now... It starts with a Christian senior whose father (also Christian) hasn't come home in two years, but when she recieves a letter from him, she decides to go find him and complete his mission.
The Masters (Original title was The Boy): Thanks to a dream I had two nights ago, there's been some changes to the story. (Too lazy to chart them out, though) A Christian group and a gangster-like(? It's not really that, but it's the best description I have for the time being) group reside in a city, who, for the time being, do not know each other. Four people in the Christian group and three in the other group go to the same high school. A member of the Christian group notices a boy (who is a member of the other group) who rarely speaks, but feels that something is troubling him, nonetheless.
A Blemish in the Pearl: A member of the royal family, who has been disowned, notices a Christian girl with bruises on her. He wants to get to know her more, and what the cause of the bruises are, but doesn't know how.
Actuating Faith: A Christian, Scottish-American son of two deceased Federal Agents witnesses his close friend being abducted one night, while near death. After discovering who his parents are (they hid the fact that they were Feds while they were alive), he decides to take up the role as an agent and tries to bring her back to America.
--------
^^;; Heh heh. I actually feel like writing when I get home, now.

"A Blemish in the Pearl" sounds really interesting. There's a fanfic I'm planning to read soon that you might like. But from what I've read from the summary, it only has one actual character from its fandom in it so you'd be able to understand everything, no problem. Maybe I'll list my two original stories..... And my fanfics..... Okay!!!!! ORIGINALS!!!Overture: This story revolves around an emo-type boy of 17 named Alex Campbell, who is going to an exclusive strings camp for the summer. Unfortunately for him, he has 3 roommates to deal with the entire trip. His roommates consist of: Matthew Xingjian, a happy but not-too-bright boy of 16; 15 year old David Atokata, a shy and quiet little ghost of a boy; and Chris O'Neill, a 17 year old playboy with an arrogant attitude. Basically, the story is about growing up and accepting other people as well as yourself, as well as adding some musical influence. Daisanji: Daisanji is about a girl named Kiyoraka Megami, a worshipper of the denomination under the Tengoku no Tenshi, an ultimate divine being. One day, in her peaceful little village, haters of Tengoku worship come and persecute her people. She has no choice but to flee the village and ultimately the country with the aid of a boy named Kyuseishu Senshi. Senshi reluctantly agrees to protect her and be her guide. But unknown to them both, Senshi has a greater role to fulfill not only for Megami but for the fate of an entire people. (Yeah, Holocaust story. : ) ) FANFICS!!SaiSaku fanfic yet to be named: For anyone who knows Naruto, I have a fanfic in mind for the Sai and Sakura pairing. Sai gets thrown out onto the street after an argument with Sakura. Sakura's problem with Sai? He doesn't have a job and she won't let him back into her apartment unless he finds one. Sai thinks being a manga-ka will be easy and will fulfill his job requirement. But it doesn't come as easy as he thinks..... Gladiator fanfic that needs a title: Yeah, no title, but this is for the movie Gladiator. The senate plans to unseat the Emperor Commodus off the throne but they have trouble getting to him. Lavinia, a slave woman, is bought and is ordered to become a concubine for the emperor and once she finally gets him alone and subdued, she is to assasinate him. But the plans backfire as she begins to develop intimate feelings..... Yep.....

My original that I'm currently writing:
The Keyseeker Chronicles[/u]: 5 teenagers all receive notes telling them to meet at an abandoned mansion. There, they find a mysterious black box with five gold locks, and another message explaining the 5 keys: friendship, strength, courage, love, and fortune. The 5 teens are the only ones who can perform the tasks required to find the keys.
Characters: Hana - shy, quiet, and friend-less, Jacob - funny, sweet, and charming, Bridget - arrogant, outgoing, and self-confident, Denton - gorgeous, a leader, and nice, and Grace - tiny and smart.

here's a few of my originals.
anyone steal any of my comic book ideas and I will hunt you down and make sure you're conscious long enough to feel me kill you with a spoon. And that'll be before the lawsuit (beware, I have documentation of these).
R-Evolution, about the daily lives of seven teen superheroes from a New York catholic school after the events of the Renaissance, an explosion that mutates 10% of the teen population of Manhattan and creates a new level of gang warfare. They, especially Sentinel, the most recent bearer of the powerful but dark Cherubic Mantle, also have to fight off the demon demigod known as the Marquis.
Revenant: an ex-detective turned private-eye gets dumped by drug dealers into a vat of liquid derived from the chemicals that triggered the Renaissance. He comes back from the dead a superhuman psychopath and wreaks havoc on organized crime.
Phantoms: chronicles the lives of homeless byproducts of the Renaissance fighting to survive while trying to expose the corporation behind the explosion.
The Saints: a girl adopted by a priest discovers inside her a device that creates holy fire. She becomes a target of the Marquis and his agents and goes on the run with an immortal Nephilim hunter/demon exorcist trying to die, a scarecrow who wants to be human and a resurrected former knight of the Marquis during a medieval war who now seeks redemption by protecting the girl.
Watchers: The winged beings known as Grigori watch over humanity, protecting them from the Nephilim, the humanoid children of Satan that feed off of human flesh, in part from God's promise of salvation but also a sense of duty and honor. But some of the Grigori grow tired of this tradition, and threaten to end the peace exposing themselves to the humans and joining with the Nephilim. Azrael, a human/Grigori hybrid, must prevent this at all costs, while also fighting his destiny to usher in the reign of the Marquis.
The Zodiac: twelve unique individuals, are recruited, negotiated or blackmailed into countering superhuman terrorism.
The Twilight Empire: in a parallel world, centuries before Armageddon, a prince joins a rebellion against his own kingdom after his father's adviser usurps the throne. The emperor now hunts for the ring the prince bears, one of two rings that can raise the cursed army of the ancient Twilight Empire. This is also the story of the origins of the Marquis.
As you can tell, heavy influence by Catholicism.

Okay, I started writing my fanfic. I might post a bit here just for some quick critique.

Awesomeness. I love reading other people's stuff.
My lit teacher is reading my story. She loves it.
This is what she said:
"You really caught my interest. Great ideas and excellent chapter endings. At the end of Chapter 6 I was ready for something wild and crazy to occur. Great job with dialogue. When can I read more?"
She also called it "audacious" in a different email.

Audacious? *does not know the meaning* Me thinks you should post some.
Okay, this isn't my fanfic but it's an excerpt from an original of mine. I could use some help because this is "hot of the press" and I always tweak my writing after I'm done.
-------
Alex looked out his car window, his face devoid of any real emotion, except for maybe boredom. He stared at the repetitive foliage and the bluish mountains that towered over the trees in the backdrop. He rested his chin on the knuckles of his hand and shifted his view towards the cloudy sky. Suddenly, the sun breached through the white barrier and pierced his blue eyes. He turned away from the window, forced to look at his twin Scott in the seat next to him, who to Alex’s dismay, noticed the movement.
“Hey, Alex!! You finally done looking at the scenery?” he asked with a smile. “I’m sure you’ll have plenty of time to walk around in it at the camp. If you ask me, all these trees look the same.”
His happy twin continued to ramble on as Alex tuned him out. Alex was quite good at tuning people out. It was one of his self-proclaimed skills, along with his cello playing, which no one seemed to really care about. In his school and town, his ability to get his hair in that perfect spike was more notable than being able to run some bow hair over a string. So the opportunity to join an exclusive strings camp for the summer not only gave him something to do with his solitary life, but it let him have the chance to meet with people who actually gave a d*mn about their playing.
Plus, he could escape Scott for a few weeks; Scott wasn’t going to any extra activities this summer so Alex would’ve been stuck with him…. A living hell……
“Alex?” said Scott, his voice breaking his brother’s train of thought.
Alex tried again to tune him out.
“C’mon!! Let’s play a card game or something!! We aren’t going to see each other for weeks, you know!!”
No sh*t, Scott…..
“That twin connection will be kicking in. Maybe since we’ll be so far apart, we’ll have those experiences where we’ll feel the other’s emotions. The other twins at school have that ‘twin telepathy’ too. Actually, I heard a story about these twins that were separated one time and…..”
Alex had just stopped listening at this point. All he could hear was the annoying sound of his brother’s jumbled words in the back of his mind. He wondered how much longer it would take to get to the camp. Five hours of being stuck in an old jalopy of a car (with no rest stops) with the Campbell family was taking its toll. He felt his self restraint fading and he going to go crazy….. with his twin as the victim. How good it would feel if he could sock his twin right in the jaw. Maybe it would shut him up. Or maybe he would continue talking while sputtering blood….. That would be pretty amusing, too…..
Scott had shifted his attention (and his incessant chatter) to the parents up in the passenger and driver seat. Alex couldn’t tell whether his mother was listening but his dad seemed to be interested in whatever crap his son was spouting. He leaned his head against the window again, causing his bangs to fall over his eyes. The intense sunlight streaming from the outside was instantly doused by his hair. The warmth of the glass lulled him to sleep. He stayed in his light sleep until….
CLIFFHANGER!!!!

Yeah, that was a third of chapter one and I'm far into chapter two now.

This is a piece from Chapter 4. The "I" is Hana. Jacob and Grace are in this piece a lot.
____________________________________________________________________________ The clock told me that it was two forty-five, fifteen minutes before we were supposed to meet Bridget and Denton at the mansion. In the car, it struck me. The library might have a book about the box, perhaps explaining something about its creator, and, in turn, helping us with out new mission. If nothing else, it was worth a shot. When Mom dropped us off, she kissed my hair and made me promise that I would be home as quickly as possible. Then, she said good-bye to Grace and Jacob, let us out of the car, and drove off. After she was out of sight, I turned to Grace and Jacob. “The library might have a book about the box,” I said. “Any information we can discover is precious, seeing as we know next to nothing. Information on the mansions’ previous owner would also be helpful. He obviously knew things we don’t. We’ll check out the books at the house later, and, by the way, we have about ten minutes.” Grace tucked her hair behind her ear. “If there’s something to be found,” she said confidently, “then I’ll find it.” And she strode through the library doors without hesitating to look back. Jacob whistled a long, high note. “That girl…” he began, but his statement had no ending. The two of us walked together onto the library. The outskirts of Williamsburg, Virginia, were big enough to house a decent one. From the outside, it looked small, but was crammed with books from top to bottom. Grace sat at one of the computers that housed a list of books the library contained. She smirked and chuckled quietly to herself. I knew she had found something. Jacob was already at her side, staring over her shoulder at the list of books that matched her search criteria. He, too, smiled at the results. I walked over carefully and sat in the vacant chair next to them. Jacob tapped the computer screen with his fingernail. “You, Grace Destiny Parker, are a genius.” Tiny Grace blushed. “Thanks.” I stared at the screen at Grace’s results. Only one book was found that matched her specifications. The search also showed the book’s cover. The box – the locks – the tapestry, it was all there. That, of course, meant that it was exactly what we were looking for. Grace leaned back in her chair, resting her head in her palms. “It seems,” she said, “that our box has a name.” It did indeed, for the book’s title was: The Myths and Legends of The Box of Dreams and The Keyseekers.” Our box was the Box of Dreams and we were the Keyseekers. ___________________________________________________________________________
Opinions?
And audacious means bold or original.

Hey, can you guys evaluate my original characters to see if they're Mary Sue-ish? I'm really only worried about one of my characters being Sue-ish but I want to make sure.
