 | 09:24 am - Hello I'm new to this community Recently Ive been inspired and have revisited several of my old stories, editing and adding to them.
I've found in the past, that having people review and critique my work, keeps my motivation levels high enough to keep me writing, so I'm going to post some of them here in hopes to gain some new readers.
This is my baby, Lacerated Heart. I've edited this thing so many times and it still sucks. Currently the very first chapter has been updated, and later today the second chapter will also be edited. Right now the second chapter and beyond are still the original poorly written chapters
M/M slash A story of love and destruction. When innocent, naive Kiro falls in love with his highschool friend, Draek , the most popular guy in school, will his love ever be returned? Or is he in for a life of condemnation from his peers *rated T-M*
http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2598329/1/Lacerated_Heart
~
The second story I wrote the prologue for years ago, and have only recently developed a more in depth story line for. So I can actually start writing it now.
Can the King of Hell fall in Love? Rated M for later Chapters.

~
The third is also very old. It;s not my best work, but I still like it. I know the story line is pretty unoriginal, but hopefully I can change that when I revisit it.
When life can't get any worse, One person tries to take everything, but as they say, when a door is closed, a window is opened. About a reject who is destroyed, who will pick up the pieces. twist in chapter 5*

Thanks in advanced to anyone who actually reads ^^

 | 02:05 pm You know that quote, "there's a fool born every minute"?
I'm thinking of a movie, or a TV show that uses that quote, or perhaps they say something about fools in the previous sentence and then say, "there's one born every minute". I know there's probably a few so I'll try and narrow it down. I'm almost positive it's an American man saying it, and I think he might say it over the opening of the show/movie.
I feel like it goes something like, "there's a fool born every minute and my job is to [something something something]." I don't think it's comedy - he sounds pretty serious and I imagine him to be at least in his thirties, but probably older than that. His voice is quite deep and a bit gruff. He might have been playing a cop or something? Or he could have just been a narrator.
The TV show/movie may well have been in black and white, and I'm thinking there's some sort of 'on the mean city streets' kind of theme to it (did that make any sense?). I thought it might have been from Sin City, but I don't think it is.
Can anybody help? I'm scared I might have totally made this up!
Edit:
Haha, nevermind, it came to me while I was editing this post. It's from this public info film from the 1970s about water! He says, "only a fool would ignore this but there's one born every minute." Not American, not a movie, not a TV show, no cops or mean streets, God knows why I was suddenly remembering it as any of those things!

| 09:49 pm - TV series - identical twins, one gay, one straight I saw some parts of a TV series on Youtube once and can't find them again: -there was a pair of male identical twins (skinny blond guys) -one of them was straight, one of them had just come out as gay -the gay one was dating the landlord of his apartment building. One day he had to pick up someone important at the airport and convinced his straight brother to pretend to be him on a date with the landlord.
Anyone know what this was? Thanks in advance for any info! :)

 | 09:20 pm - I wrote something!
My third term schedule looks fucked and I haven't even enrolled yet. FORMDEV and ENGLCOM are such extras. If they didn't exist, I'd be having a pretty good schedule. :( In this schedule I go home at 16:10 most of the time and there's even a time when I go home at 17:50. I don't know how much hell would that mean for me on the train and bus rides home, but hopefully dad would around to pick me up from the train station. D: I need a car. I'm already nineteen and I still don't know how to drive. D:<
And damn, I'm not even sure this would be my schedule. :( Wonder if enrolling is hell, even if they've already halved the population somewhat by granting students without any failures priority enrollment. :|
Oh well. Will just have to wait for Thursday. :(
In other news, my laptop of less than a month old has been sent to be fixed. :) I feel so ashamed. I took out the power when it was installing some update and the OS got whacked like hell. Hopefully whoever's fixing it just repairs the damned OS and not reformat everything. D:< So far my dad hasn't told me that I broke the laptop's hard drive or anything :| which is good? I could have it back by tomorrow, do some writing while I'm lounging around.

 | 08:19 am - New reviews for Badger and Spellbent I had a reasonably productive weekend writing-wise. I got about 3,000 words of The Devil in Miss Shimmer written yesterday, although in the process I drank way too much coffee and I may be paying for that later today.
A couple of new reviews have gone up for my books at The Green Man Review and Greatest Uncommon Denominator:
"In Lucy A. Snyder's new urban fantasy, Spellbent, apprentice witch Jessie Shimmer is compelled to undergo trial by fire -- both figuratively and literally -- as she attempts to save her lover and the city in which she lives. ... Snyder's brand of urban fantasy is a bit darker and grittier than most, with many of the characters battling their own very believable personal demons as well as the supernatural variety. The character of Jessie also makes a nice change from the many heroines of urban fantasy stories in that Jessie actually spends more time worrying about other people than she does her clothes, and she relies on her brains and courage rather than sex to solve problems." (read more)
"In (Installing Linux On A Dead Badger), Snyder succeeds in making zombies (both human and animal) wickedly funny -- no matter how jaded you are by cries of 'Braaaaaaaaaaaains!!!' Either this book will make you laugh out loud at least once, or you should consider having yourself checked for signs of death." (read more) Current Music: Juno Reactor

 | 10:38 pm What did my protagonist do today? She squished a bug. Five hundred words, right there. To be fair, it was a pretty huge fucking bug. Parents arrived safely, but two hours later than expected. They have no plan or organisation. Nothing new there. I shall show them around some bookshops in the city tomorrow, and my brother is taking them to a lecture on renewable energy tomorrow night.
They can't say we're not treating them right.

 | 08:12 pm - When It Was Me Hey guys! I just wanted to share a fic that I made two years ago. Like in Lumina & Sparky, I was just twelve at that time, so it might not be as good as other works.
Title: When It Was Me Fandom: Harvest Moon (More Friends of Mineral Town) Genre: Romance Pairing: Graire (Gray x Claire) FF.net summary: Mary and Gray have something, but Claire comes along. Gray stops visiting Mary to hang out with Claire, but how does our librarian feel about this? Graire from Mary's POV. (Sorry, I'm no good with summaries...) My summary from what I can remember: Wangsty Mary ranting about how Claire, the ultimate Mary-sue, stole “her” Gray. Yeah, I'm mean like that. Warning: As mentioned before, Claire is a total Mary-sue. What? I was twelve! How would I have known—uhh, never mind. Other warning: Made ya look! There is no other warning. Inspiration: When It Was Me - Paula DeAnda FF.net link: www.fanfiction.net/s/4290236/1/When_It_Was_Me Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon or any of its characters. But I own this fic. Don't stealiez >:p

 | 11:48 am Is there a word for when you hear noises, like the telephone or doorbell or other alarm-like noises, either when you're listening to loud music or just any other noise which make occupy your hearing (like running the tap or something)?
Sorry I had no idea how to explain that! I'm sure I remember reading about it once.
Not tinnitus or paranoia!
Thanks

 | 04:05 am Sorry for posting again so soon! But I was just thinking about something I read/listened to recently.
It was about a person born to two deaf parents. At one point the mother suffers a stroke and can only control use of her right hand. That's all I remember but I'm trying very hard to look for it!
Thanks :)

 | 10:23 pm - Movie. This is kind of a long-shot, but I figure it's worth a try.
I'm trying to remember the title of this - I guess it was a movie - that I saw sometime in the mid 90s. It aired in two parts on Russian television, so maybe it was a movie that was just split in two, maybe it was something else. I don't know if it was originally made in Russia or dubbed from another language. I was pretty young back then so I wouldn't know the actors, or remember any character names, but I can recall bits of the plot, so maybe someone will know it.
An airplane flew through some sort of warp into an alternate dimension, and the passengers who were awake (I think) vanished, leaving their watches and jewelry behind. The plane landed in an airport that looked modern but was abandoned, and matches didn't work. At the end, it turned out that dimension was inhibited by some sort of creatures (who actually looked like giant brown balls with only a mouth which had a bunch of razor-sharp, perhaps spinning teeth in it) who destroyed everything. In the end, everyone got back on the airplane, took off, and tried to fly back through the space warp, and suddenly one of the pilots remembered that the the people who're awake will disappear, so they put all of the passengers to sleep. The co-pilot volunteered to stay awake and steer the plane through the space-warp, and in the end, there was a shot of his empty seat, with just his watch left on it.
Anyone have any idea what this is? Thank you!
EDIT: It's been found; the title is The Langoliers. Thank you very much, guys!

 | 05:37 pm - Dear friends. So sorry I've not commented much lately, but I am trying to keep up with you.
The short of it is, I'm descending to a Very Bad Place™, and besides not knowing what to post in my own journal (or having the heart to) I've been rather at a loss for words on anyone else's as well.
I don't believe I'll post for a while. I might pop in and out of facebook. Hopefully I'll bounce off the bottom of the Very Bad Place™ soon and make a comeback.
You all take care. Current Mood: exanimate
