The Entity, a fantasy novel about a Victorian boy called James who has to find his own way in the world, only to find himself in a whole other world. During the story, he has to struggle with not knowing where or how his family is, all the while doubting whether or not he should even try to return home at all (his parents got deeply into debt). Eventually he finds out that the evil king whose name I've still to figure out ( ) is using what he's using the rest of his kingdom to James himself, which results in a strange ghostly figure invading his dreams. But the figure also teaches him the truth. Though horrible, this truth makes James feel secure again.
I'm on my first draft and have gotten to Chapter I, though I'm not sure about it. Ah well. I can do all the drafts in the world, baby.

I've finished 'The Nightmare Man' and am working on the sequel- currently titled 'The Ferryman'. I want to write something about the Cold War, thoguh. like a 'what if?' book, where the Iron Curtain didn't fall and Communism spread to places like the UK, the US, etc

"Thing"-its about a boy who experiences a sort of monster-type sickness-type thing(his hands turn red, his face turns green, and something else..haven't worked on the book much) and never remembers any of it because right after he turns into it, he blacks out and ends up in bed.

I'm about to start of Traders 3 and Havens, along with working on converting a couple of "Anasazi Says..." stories to Peeper tales. Plus an NDA project, 2 scripts, a graphic novel, 3 Year of the Zombie stories, and a Fraker the Axe novelette. I'm kind of busy.

I've got a mostly-finished short story that will, at this rate, never get totally finished. And it's pissing me off, because I really like what I've got so far.
Average Mediocre Office Guy starts seeing an imaginary Creepy Guy In A Suit who tells him to kill people because he needs to, essentially, 'grow a pair'. He goes on medication, calls it everything from a multiple personality to a psychotic break to an obnoxious ghost. A bunch of shit happens (I'm horrible with summaries) and the thing basically takes control of him. I've already got the ending planned out, I just...have writer's block from hell.
If anyone's interested in what I've got so far, just let me know. I'd love to get more feedback on it.
Me and Ben also have a movie idea we've been kicking around for about two years but can't seem to get further than a few specific scenes and a general idea. Which, unfortunately, is usually the downfall of our good ideas. They're a little too broad and can't seem to get past the concept phase.

Well, I'm editing The Nightmare Man and working on the sequel (which I'm currently calling 'The Ferryman' although I'd like to change it). I've also started planning a side-project about what would happen if the eugenicists continued right into the Cold War and if the Iron Curtain had never 'fallen'.

Empire of Dirt - Short story about a corrupt government and a secret society of Anarcho-punks that attempt to take it down. I would elaborate but it would give too much away. :c
Personal Holocaust - The tale of a boy forced into war, captured by the enemy, and forced to watch his entire nation fall. Again, I can't elaborate because it would give too much away.
A Gentleman's Place at Dinner - I'm currently rewriting this story. I finished it about a year ago and after rereading it again a few days ago, I realised how messy it was and decided to scrap all of it and restart.

My fanfiction projects:
Room 101: One of my pet projects. It's a fill for the Hetalia kink meme based on a prompt about Norway reacting badly to his little brother's rape. It's not turning out horribly and I haven't been flamed for it so I'm very proud of myself.
Over the Laughing Sky: A Black Cat project that I've just started. Slightly inspired by Holly Black's Valiant, contains my own interpretations of a couple of characters and faeries.

Blinded- Brave Little Toaster darkfic, set after the events of the last sequel. Basically, the Master gives all the appliances up for good, seeing as they've began to wear out and start not working anymore. They escape being taken in by another Master/Mistress, but have no idea where else to go besides the old cottage, where they can go and spend the rest of eternity undisturbed (since appliances don't really die unless they're broken). Turns out that the cottage had been lived in years ago, but has since been abandoned again. A small group of appliances still live there, alone and heartbroken. The original band meets the newer appliances, and thsu the adventure begins. A VERY BLOODY ONE. I can't add anymore without it turning spoilerific.
Unrequited (working title)- 14-year-old Jay thinks he is the lonliest, miserable sap on the planet until he meets Aiden, a seemingly kind and respectful boy who seems to outshine him in ever way. Going under major revision.
Currently unnamed- A xenofiction fantasy centering around a vast kingdom of wild dogs battling through a massive rebellion. Also under major revison.
Also unnamed- A science fiction story centering around a world of anthropomorphic animals and the rise of a bleak dystopia that threatens to engulf the world. Basically just an inkling of a plot bunny. It's from when I was little, so it needs HUUUGGGEEEE revisions.

Wrapped Up - Project that I'm currently working on the most. It's a collab type story set in a universe created by Tyshea (from dA. You'll have to check out wormwoodproject.deviantart.com/ or tyshea.deviantart.com/ to really understand). Basically about supernatural creatures and their "mundane", ordinary lives in high school. I haven't really figured out a plot yet (might turn it into a "Slice of Life" kind of story, with a few serious moments here and there). For now, I'm just focusing on developing my characters (I must admit, I've grown quite fond of them <3). I also don't know if I want to make it a comic or a written story.
Reverie - A magical-girl/shoujo genre story (shutupicanlikemagicalgirlsifiwant). The main girls basically fight monsters, of course, but I also wanted to focus on the bad sides of being a mahou shoujo, as well as explore the relationships between the main girls. However, I still want to keep it fun and light. Kinda like mixing Precure with Princess Tutu.
Sweet Tooth - A really silly comic idea I had while eating a piece of cake. =w=;; The characters are personifications of some of my favourite sweets/desserts (essentially -tans, like Wiki-tan or OS-tans). The story is very light-hearted and silly and funny. It's pretty much about all the crazy stuff that happens at the bakery the Desserts work at, which is called Just Desserts (I know, very original >w>;.
mayday. - A story about three children (two teenagers and one seven year-old) and their struggle to be loved and accepted, and to love and accept. I'll have to do a lot of research for this one, so I probably won't start writing it 'till much later. I want to make it a little tragic, but with specks of hope here and there, and I'll probably eventually give my characters a happy ending (that they actually worked hard to get, unlike a certain sue we all know).
Dream Spell - Just a temporary title. I want to make a really elaborate and big world, much like the HP world, with magic and stuff. It's a medieval, fantasy-esque universe, with giants and dragons and harpies and all that good stuff. The main characters are a group of traveling performers who happen to stumble upon a Fay when they take a shortcut through dark and scary woods, a race largely thought to have been completely wiped out after a strange disease started infecting them. It starts a whole bunch of awesome and shit. Again, haven't completely figured out the plot, so it'll take a while before I actually get serious about this project. I just really wanted to write a story about some fun-loving and careless minstrels who get caught up in some bastard's evil plans and end up having to fix everything themselves.
TL;DR My story ideas are lame and I don't even know why I wanted to share them with you guys. orz Seriously, you all have such awesome stories, mine are so generic and overdone. >u>;;

At this exact point in time.
Silence - My horror web series. Working on editing existing scripts and writing new ones.
Bone Daddy and the Skeleton Crew - Tracking down an artist to make some comics and writing the music and lyrics for an album.
The Mass Effect EP - Inspired in part by Miracle of Sound, I decided to go ahead with an idea I'd had for a while and write a handful of songs about the Mass Effect series. Since the 3rd game isn't even out yet, I only have a few concepts, some riffs, and the first couple parts of a love song to Tali (she's my favorite character and I romanced her in every one of my playthroughs because she's just that cute).

Year of the Zombie-Legends Book 3, Johnny Black-- A death row prisoner is released by the warden and the ruling council from Vossburg Superfortress and told to scout the surrounding areas, particularly the city and the rumors of a Haven within the suburbs.
Here's a teaser:
Hope you enjoyed it.

Wait Tim. Don't you mean "He might as well shoot himself"? Just pointing it out.
Took me a while to come up with the title and it's not yet official. Story starts with a fizzle but ends with a bang.
Book summaries:
Street Lion: Wish Project - Street punk Joseph "Joe" Lafferty chases after an old friend gone mad-dog mean since their childhood. With a rival gang and a set of estranged acquaintances getting in the way of his search, a strange girl tags after Joe with no other motive but to follow him as he races through the dark alleys to arrive at the truth behind the troubles stirred by those he considered his own brethren.
Street Lion: The Dirty Red - Nine years have passed for Joe Lafferty, who still struggles to deal with the past and move on from the tragedy it wrought. Trouble, however, rears its head once again, and in an all-too familiar face named Violet Sunderland. Here Joe must make his choice between nobility and sacrifice, all while putting his principles as a human being at stake.
Street Lion: Cerulean - (spoiler-riddled, nevermind)
Characters and their roles have already been prepared but I can't give all of them away. Basically,
Joseph "Joe" Lafferty - the protagonist
Mickey "Mick" Jacobs - the childhood friend
Dahlia Turmall - the mysterious girl

Wait Tim. Don't you mean "He might as well shoot himself"? Just pointing it out. Good eye. Of course, it is still just in concept draft, and not even fully finished. Still, very nice catch. I'll make the correction tonight, spare my editor a little bit of eye rolling.

I'm not sure if I'll continue/start any of these.
The Dark Halls - (I forgot what the original title was): Based on a script idea I had in high school, and loosely inspired by a RP a friend of mine wrote a few years ago. Pretty much your typical haunting story with some kids in high school. Originally, I intended on including all three thought our scripts and putting them together. I might exclude the 3rd because it goes into Night of the Demons territory.
Enemies of Belhurst - Another zombie apocalypse based story, inspired by a book I came across last year. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. It follows three groups of people. The first is hiding out in a warehouse (with a small group of different people), one is in a store (Mainly teenagers being lead by an asshole) and the last is in an undisclosed location (made up of middle schoolers). This is pretty much dead in the water,and I don't have the energy to save it.
Cat and Mouse - Forgot the original point of it, but it mainly revolves around two high school students from different social classes and groups who befriend each other, and try to be "kings" of their graduating year. Hideo is semi-popular achiever from the working middle class. Katsu is an outsider from the upper middle class, who refuses to talk about the work his parents allegedly do for companies and the government. Things seem to go well until Hideo realizes that Katsu is a crazy sociopath.
The Virus - Another post apocalyptic story. Unlike "Enemies of Belhurst" or others I've done, this one takes place after the distruction and survivors are working on re-building society. So it's all in flashback.
Game Over - I think I had Spy Kids 3 on the brain when I was staring this. All I'll say is that it doesn't have a cutesy ending like in SK3. Same rules sort of apply. There's no rules in the game except to win at any and all costs. It tends to push the darkness of that in your face. I think I explained this somewhere before, but I don't recall.

The Falcon and the Aardvark: My NaNo project; this is a rough adaptation of the ancient Egyptian myth of Horus and Set, but set in prehistoric Sudan circa 6500 BC and with human characters playing the role of the gods.
I was originally going to do a story about New Kingdom Egyptians discovering the Americas for NaNo this year, but scrapped it after realizing that Egyptian ships weren't seaworthy enough to cross large expanses of open ocean.

I wanted to see how long it would take me to write 2000 words (for Nanowrimo), and so I started writing a Snow White adaptation.
My actual Nanowrimo project is a historical fiction novel set in the Regency times about a woman who finds out her husband is unfaithful and murders him.
I am not sure how it is going to end though, because in my research I discovered that women were a lot more likely to not get convicted of crimes, such as murder, then men, and also that women could 'plead the belly' (my character is pregnant at the time she commits the crime). I need to look more into it.
I am, however, considering having her sent to an asylum after she gives birth, by either her family or the family of her late husband. I got this idea after reading that insanity was a ground for having an annulment, but it was very rarely used as a reason for annulment, because it would result in the 'insane' party being sent to an asylum.

Still planning on MANY things, but... The Hyperion "You have to have an eye on everything, even if the worlds at peace..."
Set during the 3rd year of Gurren Lagann's timeskip, a warship by the name of Nemesis makes a crash landing into earth and leaves off a weird residue. When King Kittan is sent to discover what it is, he realises that the weird residue in question is turning pretty much anything (cars, helicopters, you name it) into mass murdering robots who are members of the Decepticons. Simon, now in command after Kamina somehow survives the "one attack that should have, frankly, killed him instantly", must form an alliance with an unknown ally, whos been fighting the enemy for what feels like eternia. Things are changing once again - And peace is the first casualty in an all-out war that may end up overthrowing the people back underground - permanently. EDIT: In order to warm myself up before I get into it, Ive started a small project with a working title named "Torn to Shreds".

I only really started writing a few years ago, and I've mostly been doing fanfics. I like to focus on only one project at a time. Currently I'm writing Rebellion, a high concept Chobits fanfic that's kind of grown out of control from my original plans. Link is in my sig.

Currently working on a novel about werewolves, vampires, and dragons. About 12,000 words in at the moment and I've just introduced some important plot points. It also doesn't have a name yet.
Given the implications of the plotline, the story could easily be expanded into a series, since the main conflict will not be resolved at the end of the story. It's just not possible. (That is on the list of "Things I realized in the shower." XD)

Currently working on some songs and a short story.
Most of my songs are to help me get used to working with my virtual singers and using loop based music. I still have a long way to improve my tuning skills.
The short story is a science fiction story with crazy stuff. I haven't thought the whole way through that story yet, but I'm creating characters that are very interesting.

I currently have a single novel series in the works. It will be an eight book lesbian vampire romance series (the romance is more of a subplot, but that's what I'm going with for the time being) with a lot of action and a strong family theme to it. Thus far, I have the first two books finished and am on book three.
The first book is finished and currently in Texas being edited by a editing/critique group. After I get it back, I will edit it myself, re-read it, edit it once more, then deal with the book cover process and when all is finished, I will have it sent to Amazon for them to publish it. Hoping to have this done before the year ends.
Book two is done, but waiting around. Book three is in the works. I hope to have it done within the next two months, then I plan to start book four up before I take a brief break.

I'm gonna start working on an au setting which will be about a rebellion happening from the lower class. I'm planning on having it told in two perspectives, one from the son of one of the leaders of the land and another from a woman leading the rebellion.
