Construct Scenelets

Because the Construct is awesome and I have too many ideas bouncing around right now.

One )

The next one is part of a half-baked crossover with the webcomic Looking For Group, because Lizzie and Richard would make the best crossover BFFs since ever.

Untitled - Novel Excerpt

This is technically another portfolio piece, although obviously I didn't write it for class - it's a heavily-revised excerpt from last year's NaNo that I included as one of my original pieces, because my portfolio needed moar Construct. It's one of my favorite scenes for a lot of reasons, and also turned out to be a surprisingly concise summary of the novel's main themes.

Like the last one, this contains violence and some possibly not-quite-as-moderate gore.

Portfolio - Ground Zero

This one probably requires a little bit of explanation - we had a unit in Writer's Craft that was entirely focused on Environmental Literature. I hate Environmental Literature. At the end of it, we were expected to write a short story that involved a real environmental issue. Out of spite, and due to the fact that I am primarily a fantasy writer and have no idea how to write a story set in the real world (or at least, the real real world), I ended up with a story that used as many different real-life environmental issues as I could to justify one that was decidedly un-real. Despite the stress the unit caused me, I'm actually quite proud of this story, ridiculous though it gets at points.

The characters are stolen out of my NaNo of two years ago. The following also contains violence and moderate gore, and may be upsetting if you don't like that sort of thing.

Portfolio - Lizzie and the Monster

The following was originally for a Children's Literature assignment. It takes place about two years prior to last year's NaNo (currently undergoing revision).

Portfolio - Short Works

In Writer's Craft last semester, instead of an exam we had to compile a portfolio of our best works in the class. This post contains some of the shorter pieces - I'll post the longer ones in a little while once I have a chance to look them over again.

Pre-fic for this year's NaNo project, since the real thing is still too horrifyingly disorganized to post in any real quantity. Some salient bits and pieces of Lizzie's life before the story begins.

Yum, backstory. )
