I haven't used this account in years. But I will finish the stories I've started here!

- The Book of Counted Sorrows

Edited: 07/18/15

Hello,

I don't have much to say about myself, I'm just an ordinary weird individual with a few pesky quirks. I've had insomnia ever since I can remember and have spent many a-night reading till the wee hours of the morning.

I first found out about his site when I was DESPERATELY searching for anything that could give me closure for a trilogy I had just finished. I read A LOT, and I'm usually content with an ending, even if I don't particularly like it very much. The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey was my first introduction to a gay couple, but that's beside the point. I really liked her writing style and she did a wonderful job in her character development, but I was VERY pissed at the ending. She could have done sooo much with it, but instead chose to just end it (cut and dry). Well, like I said, I was far from done with the story so I searched via the internet for anything that could give me some type of closure, and it was then that a friend of mine recommended this site to me.

I have to say, I really liked reading many of the stories here, and after a while I've finally decided to post a story of my own. It's been nagging at me for a while, so what the heck. It's something to do while I'm up at night, it's not like I actually sleep at night. Who does that? ;)

Come away! O, human child!

To the woods and waters wild,

With a fairy hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than

you can understand.

- W.B. Yeats

Now take my hand and hold it tight.

I will not fail you here tonight,

For failing you, I fail myself

And place my soul upon a shelf

In Hell's library without light. I will not fail you here tonight.

excerpt from "By the Light of the Moon"

¿En perseguirme, mundo, qué interesas?

¿En qué te ofendo, cuando sólo intento

poner bellezas en mi entendimiento

y no mi entendimiento en las bellezas?

- Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
