| I've enabled multiple voting, so you don't have to pick just one. I know it's 23 stories, and I know it's a lot of reading, but I'm just asking for a favorite. It doesn't have to be chosen now, but I would like a little input. Was there something you had a question about? Is there an unfinished story you'd like to see finished? Was there a plot that confused you? Do you want to know why I'm such a bitter person? Come on! It can't be that hard to read through a few of the shorter stories...Please? With sugar on top? (No cherries, I keep those for my appletinis.)
Anyway, I've started revising most of my stories and got to wondering about what people on the board liked about them. So, given the choices that I presented, which story of mine do you like best, and why? It really does help me as I prepare my writing portfolio, and some of my stories are going to be adapted for filming...of which I may have to do on location somewhere in Northern California. I've provided links to each story, just in case you want to re-read or have never read them. To give you a summary, I tend to write rather dark stories with highly immersive characters, or I write adaptations and interpretations of my own life. Eternal Damnation -- Eternal life on a damned planet. Is it worth it? Juice -- Genius fascinated with blood finds no bounds in killing a few people for his interests. Memoirs of a Tormented Youth -- an autobiographical account of my life as the memories flow. The Demon -- Frustrated game reviewer finds new hobby as a world-reknown secret assassin. Red Leaf -- Government experiment soldier finds that he possesses extraordinary powers that he feels no government should control. Soldier of Fortune -- (renamed as Hacker Assassin) Semi-autobiographical account of a teenage government hacker agent recruited to do more than a simple hacking assignment. Soldier of Fortune: Arizona -- (renamed as Hacker Assassin: Arizone until I can find a better title) Set five years after the ending of Hacker Assassin, the main character figures out that his new college buddies are closer friends that he thought they were. Video Game Assassin -- basis of The Demon, but different and involving a game tester for fictional video game publisher OnSight. I Wish I Were A Computer -- ever wonder how your computer feels? Disheveled Pestilence -- Turning writer's block into a story. The Shaman -- Love knows no bounds, and knows no enemies. Trip To School -- (since renamed Island Drive) a spin-off from the Paradox Island Series featuring Domain's T'om and Boundaries Unseen's Rosy and their kids on a mid-afternoon drive around Paradox Island. Set in a slightly advanced future than the stories are. British Days -- unfinished short story about not feeling like oneself. Innocence -- random story about a father and daughter whom live in the Oakridge city of Paradox Island. Mind's Work -- a dreamer takes us through his Saturday afternoon, and the frustrations of being a gifted genius. Introspective -- an agent finds himself wondering about life in the last moments of his death in the wretched and unforgiving hold of the desert. Life with Jack -- Hard times with a car that can think for itself. [Edit: I found this after I had created the poll, and couldn't edit it anymore, so just tell me if you like it without having to vote.] Paradox Island Series Discussion -- outlines races, technologies, settings and other key factors found in the series. A must-read for clarification before diving in to read any of the series novels. Paradox Island -- follow Special Ops agent Lee Almodovar through life on Paradox Island as he struggles to maintain his dual life, and stop something greater from happening. Domain -- see life through the eyes of bitter Pat Betts, a former Special Ops agent, obsessed with exposing Lee as an active agent, while destroying something in the lives of his friends. Showers -- join scientists Crystle Stevenson and Tom Graves as they investigate the odd natural phenomena of the Showers, and as Crystle begins to uncover the truth behind a mysterious object in their data. Boundaries Unseen -- apprentice Rosy travels to the north portion of the island to intercept her teacher, but finds trouble along the way courtesy of Pat and friends. Dark Diaries -- journalist Christine Demarantus and husband Brandon Demarantus (a TMC employee) find some new wonders on their little planet that needs to be exploited. Darkness: Pathetique -- in association with the Showers and everything else that is going on, Ryan finds himself removed from his reality and facing a demon that the others are soon to face as well.

| I haven't fully read all of your stuff, but I have read most of it. Memoirs of a tormented youth had a certain truth to it and for once you let us look in on the unique sickness that is Lee. (no offense intended) | |||

| I see that you all enjoy my autobiography more than any of the other stories that I'm working on or have finished. But, more voting please!
I'm working on my creative portfolio and any input would be greatly appreciated. That, and Server One and the whole Paradox Island series takes a long time to evaluate and rewrite and edit and such. |

| I really like the Paradox series, I just wish that you would work on catching all the the storylines up to each other! Otherwise I really liked Memoirs and The Shaman to be honest... oh, and Juice, it's a perfect view of a twisted mind. | |||

| Well, I'm dropping two of the six storylines from Paradox, because they don't serve a purpose in the main plot--those characters are going to be written into other stories or left as mysteries altogether. I plan on dropping Darkness: Pathetique and Boundaries Unseen for the moment. Dark Diaries might be rewritten to incorporate elements from Darkness and Boundaries, but that's left to be seen. Showers is coming along, but the rewrite I've done that isn't posted completely excludes the Tom character as I really have no use for him. I'm concentrating on Server One as it will offer a great backstory on Lee and Pat that I never planned to cover is Paradox Island or Domain. That, and Server One needs more exposure as to how mystical she truly is. Don't know about the pets spin-off that I had envisioned. I feel it complicates the storylines too much.
On the matter of Juice, I'm writting this from the perspective of someone trying to convert a film into a novel. This story actually plays in my mind, and I could foreseably imagine us (as a group, with proper financing) carrying out filming for this story. Don't know who I'd cast as Peter, but he'd need that whole look, personality, and martial arts experience. I think your dad would make a perfect Ed though. My memoirs will have to be placed on hold until I figure out what's going on with my pending employment status with DHS. If I get rehired, I may have to pull the whole story offline, and write it on my own, releasing it again when I'm not obligated by government to keep quiet. |

| So does that mean that Showers is just about the Crystle character then, or are you going to replace the Tom character with someone else?

| Just getting rid of Tom altogether. He wasn't needed, and his character was too one-dimensional. So, just Crystle character. She works fine on her own anyway. | |||

| Yeah I suppose... but wasn't he going to become a villan or something? Meh, I am sure that it will turn out better this way... Tom's kinda a douche anyway to be honest. | |||

Anyway, should I continue my Memoirs? I mean, is my life really that interesting to read? I know people have read my resume and been impressed by what I've managed to accomplish in so little time, but I don't find my life too real or interesting. Maybe I should continue. Don't know. |

| I think that it might be best to leave those off until a later time... like 10 years from now or something. Imagine how much more you will have to write about then. And besides, this leaves more time for finishing the Paradox Island series. |
