All I have to do is make assumptions and start babbling. My sister likes to take me out to eat a lot since she lives far away. So when we go somewhere, I start to think about a good murder scene, weapons, and people involved. I tell them to my sister (big mistake, she thinks I'm crazy) and then I point out what could of happened. I honestly blame that ability on TV and books. Anyways, thank you for welcoming me! I'm sure it's going to be fun!

That sounds . . . I don't know, awesome? Cool? Amazingly horrifying? In other words, I'd like to try it sometime.

I'm actually writing a mystery novel! I suck at writing fanfic even though I like it. I however excel in original stories. It's honestly a puzzle.

Well, it's about a chain of murders breaking out without any relevant connection. However, the daughter of the Police Chief soon notices something that doesn't quite add up. Keen on investigating by herself, she starts interrogating witnesses, searching through connections and gaining allies. Especially when her best friend is targeted. With that in mind, she uncovers multiple things and gets into a lot of trouble. Kidnapping, Hostage situations, Murder, overall Mayhem, etc.

It'll take a while to write it. I plan on publishing it.. possibly. I'm glad it caught your interest though! If and when I do publish, I'll give you a heads up. Warning: You could be waiting about 2 years because it's a very long novel.

Ha, most of my original stories, I barely have any plot in them . . . They're mostly just ideas with quick prologues and a few random scenes.

That's how the best of stories start! My novel started with me wanting to be a cruel little thing and kill off people. Just cause'.. Starting with cyanide of course. It's not murder without the stuff! So then my mind informed me that it was a rather bad idea to randomly kill someone without motivation or such, so I created the plot and it all went 'uphill' or 'downhill' from there depending on perspective. What are your stories about?

Mine have more to do with the fantasy/adventure genre. I can't have a story without some sort of mystical creature . . . Usually as one of the main characters, too XD Ooh, let's see, I have several ideas . . .
I guess my very first one (which I actually got the most progress on to the point of almost finishing the first draft, but ended up starting over because it seemed way to childish and was pretty shallow) had to do with a teen (preteen, actually. I think he was twelve, since I was around that age at the time I came up with it) named Jasper who lived near the Sahara desert and got dragged into this war on Saturn between the Vatsi and Sustavs, like the Jedi and Sith of the insect-like Saturnese aliens. Jasper's the main main character, but the other main character, a Vatsus named Slayer, is the one who gets him involved in all this. One of her powers is to change shape, and in the new beginning (which I like better than the original), she keeps watch over Jasper for a little while in the form of a black hawk. Thus I named the story Night Hawk (also better than the original title). At some point I decided to create a trilogy, second book called Star Strok (name of main character), but I'm not sure I'm doing that anymore . . .
Not sure which one I came up with next, so I'll just do this one: Mienai Sekai, translated as Hidden World (I actually crossed this one over with one of my fanfictions XD My first one, actually, which was already a crossover between DN Angel and Detective Conan. I don't recommend reading it, though. I cringe whenever I go back through it, due to, in my opinion, bad writing). Takito, an apparently invisible-yet-able-to-be-felt boy (let's say twelve to thirteen) and Rain (we'll say sixteen), the only one who can see and hear him, get sent away to another world by a dragon named Rohiri, who claims to know Takito despite the boy's not recognizing him. Rohiri gives them a list of items and a crystal that transports them from world to world to collect them. The items are a recipe for a potion that will heal another dragon in another world before she dies (did I mention she was captured, too?). Ooh, I haven't looked at this in a little while, so I forget whether her death would affect the multiverse, just the world that she's in, or just Rohiri's life. *rereads part of it* Okay, it's the whole multiverse that's in trouble. Along the way, we find out more about Takito and his family, and when Takito and Rohiri met.
Oh, did I mention that I like to cross my stories over? Well, here's Dragon's Spark, basically Rohiri's story told by the perspective of Falcher, his apprentice. Well, sort of. It's not a complete flip-side of Mienai Sekai, as it focuses more on Falcher and his quest, but it's somewhat close. The story starts in a castle next to a mountain range near a dragon-populated town. Falcher himself is human (maybe around ten or so), but learning magic from Rohiri (who is much bigger than the small dragons in the town). I don't remember much of what I had planned for this one, but near the beginning, a group of teens from a guild (magicians' guild? Fighting guild? I don't remember, they're trying to kill the dragon in the castle because the people around are afraid he might attack) come upon Falcher while Rohiri is out hunting. *starts reading through to see what else I had* Oh my goodness, more crossover stuff? Sorry, "guardian of the Saturnese Scrolls" was mentioned, and that's what I was going to call the Night Hawk series. Anyway . . . Oh! Here's where other crossover stuff comes in! Okay, so after Rohiri comes back from hunting, he manages to convince the leader of the group not to kill him (knowing his love interest helps). Speaking of that love interest, Rachel is the apprentice of Kunitsma, the dragon that Takito and Rain are trying to save. Anyway, Rachel is the one who first finds out something is wrong with Kunitsma, which, after finding out what happened to her, prompts Rohiri to get Takito (Falcher's training is just as important, otherwise Rohiri would have gotten the ingredients for and made the potion himself). Haven't gotten much farther than that, though . . . All I know is that Falcher trains with Rachel and eventually goes with her on a quest. Or maybe the quest is to find out what happened to Kunitsma? I don't know, just thinking while typing.
Next, The Mark of the Dragon. Main characters: Ritsu and Nymri (haven't figured out ages, but once again, think teens). Ritsu is the sharpshooting daughter of a hunter, and Nymri is being hunted. Nymri is a dragonkind, able to change shapes and abilities between humanoid and dragon. The main markings of a dragonkind when they are in human form would be claw-like nails and reptilian eyes. Nymri is friend of certain forest animals, wary of humans, and trying to find the missing dragons. Ritsu comes upon Nymri and Tai, another dragonkind, fighting each other in the forest (though she has no idea what kind of creatures they are). Nymri notices her, freezes, and gets injured by Tai. Feeling responsible for Nymri's injuries, Ritsu helps drive off Tai and treats his wounds. Eventually she learns more about him and ends up helping him in his quest to find the missing dragons. By the way, as a side note, Nymri knows Rohiri. Actually, in the crossover manga between Mark of the Dragon and Mienai Sekai that I drew for my Drawing II Final, I believe Nymri said that Rohiri was his best friend . . .
And then my latest one, which has nothing more than ideas and an unfinished prologue to help me organize my thoughts seeing as how I just came up with it a couple weeks ago. This was based off of the idea of the pet dragon in Block Story (think questing Minecraft), where, after dying, all you have to do is double click the use button on the dragon soul item to bring it back with full health. So I made Kage (doesn't really physically age, but looks in his teens (okay, I probably should stop it with the teen thing . . .)), a human-looking creature that is linked to a feather ball called a calling globe. Even if Kage dies, if someone is holding the calling globe, they can basically call him back to life. But whoever holds the calling globe controls Kage, and can make him do whatever they want. The world is one where you have to fight to survive, especially with the monsters prowling the earth, and so Kage is often taken advantage of. However, monsters don't know how to use the calling globe, and they are never welcome in a place where they can find out, so he doesn't have to deal with being controlled by them. Rarely, Kage manages to snatch his calling globe away from his master and gains control of his own life like a normal person. All I have of the plot so far is that Kage meets a new master, the only one as of yet that doesn't take advantage of him, but rather treats him like a friend.
Well, you asked what the stories were about, so . . .

Wow! I got a little overwhelmed for a second! They are all amazing ideas though. All very different from one another and that shows how creative your mind is. I myself have many ideas all of different genres. I understand the need to have mythical creatures because whenever I'm writing fantasy, I create the cutest little creatures to add in. Who doesn't?
Reading through your stories summaries, I found myself very intrigued. So if that's what you're aiming for, you got me at least. I also love the names! Anyways, I'm lame with replying and stuff.. so yeah. Keep up with the writing though! Sorry for the late reply! Btw, Today is Kaito's birthday!!!

Thanks! Yeah, I've got a lot of ideas . . . Yay! Yeah, I have a lot to work on in regards to plot XD And then there's characterization to think of, of course . . . I think that'll be the hard part. I wonder how many of these ideas will actually get in print, if any of them . . . Happy birthday, Kaito~!
