Dreams are odd.
And I just started another story a couple days. Gasp! I forgot to post about it! Okay, I'll do that now.
I think I said that I was going to start it-the one where the magical races from Magic-Earth along with a dragon from Soreina get dragged into our Technology-Earth. Last night I finished the first part. The first several chapters are short because each character has a short chapter that introduces them and tells about their powers. They're going about normal life, and then they just vanish after seeing/hearing something odd. The next part will be what happens when they realize that they're on a completely different planet. The poor dragon's going to panic and get into some trouble.
And once everyone gets reoriented, then they have to start finding each other so they can figure out exactly WHY they all got "kidnapped."
I'd better add it to my list of current works, huh? I'll work on the title. Just bear with me for now an the crazy temporary title on my list.
Oops! I have to keep studying for my finals!

Story Catchers
Almost sounds like dream catchers ;D
Congrats on finishing "Spirits and Demons". You've working so hard while I've been slacking off as usual. Those cyber-pets were cute by the way. I'm all up today on the blog reading now.
I really like using short summary pieces to 'grab' people with stories too. Yours are looking good! They don't give away too much but they tell enough to get you interested and want to find out how it ends.

Of Spirits and Demons Catcher
So, this is my catcher (yes, I'll use this phrase to describe my little back-of-book summaries) (And I'll put up my silly little tidbits eventually) for the story I just finished last night.
(A Magic-Earth story)
Briena is thrilled when she's selected to learn magic at the mage temple. The year proceeds as at would at any normal school, with friends and bullies and teachers and lessons. But then Briena and her friends discover a demon that poses a great threat to one of her friends and things only get more complicated from then on out. It soon becoms a battle between the magic of spirits and demons.

Light of the Sun Catcher
I already had this one written down, so I'll just copy and paste. No... maybe I'll change it a bit.
(Not related to Magic-Earth or Soreina. Just a random alternate-Earth sort of place.)
Will is sick of school and family, but he soon gets torn out of his old life when he meets a ghost, vampire, and werewolf who are all searching for a lost amulet. The medallion is supposed to have the power to bring magic into their torn world. Throughout the story, the Egyptian animal gods team up with the strange miss-matched band to help them look for the medallion, and eventually they end up in the last place they expect to find the ancient Egyptian artifact.

Shifter Catcher
So, let's try a mini-summary of shifter, huh?
A future-world story
Katy thinks her pet rabbit is just a normal rabbit. So, when one day her rabbit transforms into a little furry alien named Reein, Katy is more than a bit startled. And her surprise only increases when Reein tells her that an alien race is plotting to take over Earth. Though Katy wants to believe her furry little friend, she finds that trust is rarely that simple and that you should never judge a book by its cover.
How dramatic. ^-^

Wings of Wyverns Catcher
So tell me how well I do!
( Soreina Story)
Clara lives in a palace. Though this would excite most people, she hates her life there. And when she tries to escape, she finds herself carried off by a wyvern-the huge dragon-like monsters that infest the woods. But the wyvern doesn't eat her. Instead Clara finds herself befriending the entire flock of wyverns and they decide that it's their duty to free the people from their oppressive emperor.

"Spirits and Demons" has been COMPLETED!
Yahoo! Last night I finished my story! The one about the sorceress girl, Briena.
And I didn't even have to stay up that late to finish it! Only until about 10:45, amazingly. Which is good because I had a doctors appointment this morning. Bla. They had to take a blood sample. I've never had one taken yet. It didn't hurt but it was still freaky...Bla. -_-
But, I'm getting off topic. So, yeah. It's all hand-written and it's almost 170 pages. That means it'll take me FOREVER to type it. But at least the first draft is finished. Now I can start handwriting my next story. It's nice to have a binder I can carry around with me since it's not very easy to carry my computer around.
There's a few I really want to start, but I think I'll go with the one I was talking about a little while ago. The one where people from Magic-Earth get dragged into our planet. That's the one I've been obsessing over most in my mind recently. I should write about some of the others I have in mind...
Ooh, I got a cool idea! You know how books have catching summaries on their back covers? I should try and write some of those for my stories! Let's see if I can make them sound interesting, huh?
