Author has written 33 stories for Underland Chronicles, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Sherlock Holmes, Divergent Trilogy, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Supernatural, and Kane Chronicles. "We are just lost kids who want to find their way out." And the world is a little bit better When you realize not everything has to be alright. And the world is a little more bitter When you realize maybe not everything will be alright. Formerly know in FanFiction.net as endless roads. None of the images or characters used in my stories are owned by me. Credit goes to their rightful authors. Some people have told me that my stories are really good and that my writing style is amazing (not that I don't appreciate it, because I really do, believe me) and I can't help feeling like they are exaggerating a bit. Therefore, I'm writing this to apologize in case you read one of my stories expecting a brilliant plot and wonderful style (although that's not something you'd expect from my stories) and what you find it's complete shit. I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I did not mean to disappoint you. My inspiration graces me from time to time, and the ideas don't always come out as I want them to. So, and here finishes my awkard yet much needed speech, I'm sorry if you read one of my works and find something different than you were looking for. I really didn't mean to let any of you down. You can also find me at AO3 under the same name, PeroxideBlue; though my oldest stories won't be published there. So, if you see any of my stories in an account that isn't one of these two, please tell me. Thank you. How to properly describe this author: Young, free, passionate and naïve. (In other words: a walking catastrophe.) "If they won't write the books we want to read, we shall simply have to write them ourselves."--C.S. Lewis to J.R.R. Tolkien "What's the point of being grown-up if you can't act childish sometimes?"--Tom Baker, the Fourth Doctor, Doctor Who. "Who is more foolish? The fool, or the one that follows?"--Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars. "As long as people are gonna call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit? It liberates you from convention." --Elphaba Thropp, Wicked. "What a treacherous thing to believe that a person is more than just a person." --John Green, Paper towns. "Where I come from, we believe in all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it history."--the Wizard, Wicked. "Not all who wander are lost."--J.R.R. Tolkien. "How much energy they put into harming each other. How little into saving." --Suzanne Collins, The Underland Chronicles. "I live in my own little world...but it's okay, they know me here."--Anonymous. "There's no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." --Maya Angelou, I know why the caged bird sings. "One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple." --Jack Kerouac, The Dharma bums. "I does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." --J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. "Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody." --Stephen Chbosky, The perks of being a wallflower. "You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation." --Brigham Young. To all other young fiction authors out there. I don't know who worte this, but they deserve the world. Copy and paste if you wish. It just needs to be said, and needs to be heard; You may be a reject. You may not be smooth with the spoken word. You may be the most popular kid in school. You may be the boss at your office. You may be short or tall or heavy or light or anorexic or white or dark or struck by an unfriendly label. You may be the homeless guy on the corner or the one inside the store signing books as you hand them out. You may listen to Justin Bieber or to Three Days Grace. But what you are is a writer; never doubt the power of what you can do. Tell me, what did you learn more from this year; the President, or the Hunger Games? The senator or Rick Riordan? The public speaker or Clarissa Fray? Your boss or Pi Patel? American Idol or the Twilight Saga? A list of facts or Harry Potter? Which of them stole the most of your time? Which is more well-known? It's the book. Every time. People fail to realize flaws in our society in their own lives, but they see it in District Twelve and in the Capitol. Books make clear what we can't see with the naked eye. Authors are the ones that speak to people's hearts. Writers are the ones people turn to for lessons and entertainment. It's been this way for thousands of years. We are the teachers of every child who opens a book. The themes we write are the themes they learn. We are there in every life, a quiet influence bound in a pretty cover, months' worth of work and reading, colored with imagery built around the lightning rod of an unforgettable plot line. A story spent months reading is memorable more than a speech listened to for just five minutes. I can't name all the leaders of the world right now, nor what they decide to preach about, but I can tell you all the characters from Percy Jackson, and every little thing they taught me. And they are things worth learning. So don't think there's a better way to make a point. Don't think there's a better way to reach your audience. Fiction stories have been striking the hearts of their readers farther back than anyone alive can remember. And striking the heart is what makes literature so different from everything else. Don't ever doubt your ability to show someone something new, to teach them a life lesson, or the importance of what you have to say. Say it in this foreign language everyone knows. Decorate it with characters and light it with sights and smells and sounds and touches and tastes and give it to the public gift-wrapped with your finest effort. Because I guarantee you, someone is bound to hear you clearer than they've heard anyone else before. I hope you've found some words of inspiration. The world needs it desperately. Do us all a favor, all you writers, and come out of hiding. We've had the greatest influence of all over people of the past, and as we act now, we are the ones influencing the future. We have more knives and pens than the BVB Army, more sway in society than the Senate, (whom we have proved this to before), more power than any celebrity you could name. I'm calling on you now. Rise up. I dare you to write something today that readers won't forget. I challenge you to make someone cry with one thin little page of text. I urge, no, I demand you to put something down on paper that'll be copied and produced and remembered for longer than Ancient Mythologies have been. I dare you to slam a revolving door*. I demand you to write a message in the folds of a book and watch how, in awe, people unwrap it. Watch your footprints stand bold against the falling snow and refuse to be covered. It is all possible, I assure you. You have no idea just what power you hold in a pen - or a keyboard - until you use it. And right now, the world needs you to use it more than ever. We, writers, have made history. We were the ones to record it. And that ability has not changed at all, just our awareness and will to use it. We were given the gift language and storytelling for a reason. This is that reason. It's calling. So ask yourself what message you want to send. Ponder about what you want to say. Because the world is listening to us above all other beings currently on this earth. Us, not the movies, not the official-labeled politicians, not the superstars. And it's our job to give it a story worthwhile. and she laughs a little bit too loud and her eyes are a little bit too sad but it doesn't matter cause she's slipping away a little bit too fast "But darling, I am trouble before I am human." |
