Story #34 - Of Knights, Dragons, and Maidens

Hello everyone! This week's story was inspired by the thought that I haven't done fantasy in a while, and never classic fantasy like the knights fighting a dragon to save a maiden kind of thing. That led into a good-natured parodying of that genre. ;) I hope you enjoy!

Title: Of Knights, Dragons, and Maidens
Warnings: none really, just parody, some silliness
Summary:  The medieval world from a Dragon's point of view.
Length: ~2,000 words
Notes: Third person point of view, past tense. Genre is fantasy and parody.

Story #33 - Untitled

Hi! So for this week's story, I decided to challenge myself to write a story in "drabbles" - short pieces of writing that are exactly 100 words. Also, the way it turned out (I noticed this halfway through and then continued it deliberately) is that one drabble has dialogue in it, and the next doesn't. They alternate. Anyways... it was interesting to cut each section down to 100 words. I had to be more concise than I normally am. I hope you enjoy the story! :)

Title: Untitled (suggestions welcomed)
Warnings: one swear word, cancer
Summary:  Karen's mom is diagnosed with breast cancer.
Length: 1,700 words
Notes: Third person point of view, present tense. Genre is... I'm going to go with "family".

Story #32 - Charleston County

Hi everyone! This story's a bit different than my usual. I had fun with it. It involves a sort of distant, semi-ominescent narrator and a more specific setting than is used in most of my stories. Also, it has only second-hand action and little dialogue, and a very specific voice. I'd love to know what you think about it! :)

Title: Charleston County
Warnings: references to bullying
Summary:  Charleston County - "Where even the squirrels can do no wrong."
Length: ~2,000 words
Notes: First person point of view, past tense. Genre is... um... I'm going to put it as "other" for the moment.

Story #31 - Prank Calling

Alright, here's this week's story. It's a memoir about the time I was a bad kid and prank called people, and then got caught. Man, was that a harsh lesson! ;) Enjoy!

Title: Prank Calling
Warnings: naughty children
Summary:  The night I decided to prank call was one of the worst nights of my life.
Length: ~1,100 words
Notes: First person point of view, past tense. Genre is memoir.

Story #30 - Speaking Again

Hi everyone! Today I will be posting two stories - one for last week and one for this week. This story is for last week. It's the longest storyI've ever written, and also the most convoluted. It has a lot of subplots. I'm thinking I might write a sequel or prequel to it later. Anyways... enjoy!

Title: Speaking Again
Warnings: mugging, trauma, discussions of trauma and violence... I'd say PG-14 in general.
Summary:  Chris gets mugged. But somehow, he seems to have lost his voice too. Can his friends get him to talk again?
Length: 5,450 words!
Notes: Third person point of view (two characters), present tense. Genre is drama.
