The Dragon World

I have been working on this story since I was a freshman in high school (nearly ten years), and it is currently on its fourth and hopefully final draft. It's a very special project to me because much of my inspiration for it has come directly from the friends I have made over the years. Constructive criticism on anything I write for this story is welcome and appreciated.

Summary: Coming Soon

Responses are listed in chronological order. Anything I post that is going into the story proper will be friends-locked to the community and reposted here as it is gathered into real chapters. Everything else is open to all readers.

Shiftsverse

Shifts is a collaboration between me and Casey (niee87). It has one prequel, Tremors (written only by me for NaNo 2009 as a present to her), and many, MANY sequels, because we love our characters. That's the reason why I can't give you all a plot summary...it would be at least twenty pages.

Basic premise: Magical gifts are the result of a genetic mutation, magic users have formed a community that non-users generally don't know about, said community is heavily based in the corporate world, and alternate realities are bad, very bad.

Prompt Responses: The full list of everything Casey and I have written for this universe, as well as summaries for the main arcs, can be found here.

Taking Root

Casey and I are currently attempting a Caramel/Chopped Nuts/Smoothie sundae project called Taking Root.
