A Very Cliche Audiobook? Maaaaybe.

  It's summertime and the weather is perfect for picnicking -- if you're a mosquito. But the bloodsucking bug isn't the only one that's attempted to bite me in the past couple of weeks. I'm happy to say, the voice-acting bug has bitten me again, and now I have something to do besides miserably itching, scratching, …

Proto-Cliche: “The Unfinished Work”

A/N: Exactly as the title suggests, this is the unfinished prototype that would later become Cliche. 😀  Looking at it a good four or five years later, I'm actually grudgingly impressed.  Virginia West even had a typewriter before I separated her into Jen and Ryan.  I don't think I even reread this before I set …

“The Face in the Mirror” by Allison Rose

I could not recognize the queer visage, with its malevolent, red-rimmed eyes and purplish, hollow features. A nest of auburn hair covered the scalp, extending in tangled tangents. Twisted teeth formed an evil grin, and it too held a burning candle to its face.

A bit from that “Unnamed Teenage Hacker Story”

A/N: In August, 2016, I wrote that I was working on this, along with a bunch of other stuff that never got done: 1) Unnamed Teenage Hacker Story – This is my working title for a probably YA story about a girl with extreme hacking skills.  She’s a bit of an introvert, and spends most …

He’s Out There

I don't often do poems with religious overtones, but here's one. Enjoy? Inside the depths of your little museum Stay the greatest of artwork and artists Ever to cross your corner of the world and Ending where the allies drew her lines You thought it'd be simple enough to hide Over the hills, safe within …

Flora Dennis, Chapter Three fragment

I was almost not going to post anything with regards to our friend Flora this month, because I didn't meet my goal of finishing a whole chapter.  But at the encouragement of a dear friend and beta-reader, I figured I'd share the fragment of Chapter Three that I did manage to write.... 🙂 (This has …

Flora Dennis and the Island of Two Eyes: Chapter Two

Gee, that's one long title.... Well, anyway, I'm pleased to announce that the next part of Flora Dennis and the Island of Two Eyes is out now! Excerpt:  Lord Daniel Valjean-Allerdyce was not only an Englishman, but, as his hyphenated name suggested, of French descent.  When we were escorted to his quarters by the guest …

A Hyman Kaplan Fanfic Excerpt and One Lengthy Introduction

One of the books I inherited from my grandmother's personal library was The Return of Hyman Kaplan by Leo Rosten.  It is the sequel to the infamous Education of Hyman Kaplan, which Rosten penned under the sagely-sounding pseudonym, Leonard Q. Ross.  I read them both, out of order, and enjoyed them immensely.  The Hyman Kaplan …

“Stuck in an Elevator”

I mentioned earlier that a Figment user has been sharing her daily writing prompts with us.  Today, I was inspired to write a short piece based on her latest prompt: Put two people who hate each other in an elevator for 12 hours. What happens? Naturally, it had to be about Cece and Jack. 😉  …

Figgies Take the TARDIS

An unfinished work featuring the Figgies, the Third Doctor, the Brigadier, and Sarah Jane. Figgies Take the TARDIS (by Allison Rose) Chapter One "Where's the Doctor?"  Cece Ryder asked incredulously, looking around the TARDIS control room uncertainly.  That tweed-wearing, flippy-haired, bowtie-adoring Time Lord whom she'd been accompanying for the last few months was nowhere to …
