Hello Everyone!

A Few Things About Me

I am a guy

You can call me Will.

As of nearly 2020 now, I'm back on the site. Things have changed a lot in my life and looking back at my writing just made me sad and realize how many mental issues I had to work out. Now I'm in college and still depressed but at least I'm a better writer and not a psycho anymore! cool.

This site will forever mean a lot to me as it is where I've met some of my best friends. They helped me get through an impossible time in my life and I'm not sure I would be alive to write this if it weren't for them. They were there when the only things I could count on for comfort in real life were my stuffed animals. So thank you. Forever. You know who are.

Overview of My Stories

1. And the Blossoms Turned Red

-my first completed SYOT. It's not very good but it's very special to me because it's a success of a really hard time in my life. Looking back, I'm not sure how I survived living through my domestic abuse and severe mental illness but finishing this story and of course all my wonderful friends contributed to my survival. So thus, it will always be a special story to me.

2. Carousel

-a complete waste of potential. This was going to be my sequel to And the Blossoms Turned Red. My writing had already improved so much and I had a great story planned! However, my depression hit really hard in 2016 and the story turned quickly to hiatus, but not after I wrote an incredibly disturbing Reaping chapter I can only describe as a extreme lapse of judgement and a manifestation of my deep seated mental issues. I have recently re-uploaded the original summary of the Games that I wrote back in 2016, mostly as a reminder to myself.

3. To All the Broken Stars

-a companion story to And the Blossoms Turned Red and Carousel. This one had a cool idea of letting people submit their victors. I would write a one shot based on them and keep going until I had reached up to the 125th Games. This story still has potential and I may reboot it or go back to it because I still think it may be salvageable.

4. Black Valentine

- my newest story. Hopefully will be an example of how far I've come both as a storyteller but also in terms of mental stability. The premise is a little wonky, but I think it'll be really fun if I can actually manage to finish it. Hopefully I will. Thanks meds!

5. Bleeding Heart

-a companion to Black Valentine. A series of oneshots that showcase characters other than the tributes during the events of Black Valentine. It'll only be 5 chapters and tie in pretty heavily to main story. In other words, reading this story will make some parts of Black Valentine make a lot more sense.

Fallen Tributes

Carter Lasher (D10, M, 18)-He died bravely. He was my first Syot character to die(as all the syots I submitted to before never finished) This Syot was one of the best I ever had the pleasure to read and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

-Placement: 6th Place

-Story: 101st Hunger Games: Forwards and Backwards by: Jms2

Chrysanthemum "Chrys" Suiki (D11, F, 14)-I really loved Chrys. I really loved the backstory and personality I crafted for her. She was a fun character, but I didn't expect her to do that well. She surprised me though, and she made it past the bloodbath and all the way to the top 8! She died in a pretty horrific way and I hope she's at least at peace. Rip girl.

-Placement: 8th Place

-Story: Blood Grants: The 60th Games by: IVolunteerAsAuthor

Neptune Fontus (D4, M, 18)-Dammit I loved Neptune. I really thought he was going to go farther in the games. I loved his backstory. I will miss Neptune dearly.

-Placement: 10th Place

-Story: Journey to the Top: The 18th Games by: IVolunteerAsAuthor

Cole Fyre (D6, M, 17)- I liked Cole a lot and he was one of my more unique characters. I'm sad to see him go but at least his fate was actually determined.

-Placement: 10th Place

-Story: The 127th Hunger Games by: TheTributesWhoLived34

Asprin Alenns (D8, M, 18)-Man Asprin was like one of my fav tributes ever. MAN. I felt as though he could have done better if he had more time in the story, but despite being popular, he still died. RIP.

-Placement: 13th Place

-Story: The 17th Hunger Games: At Wits End by: IVolunteerAsAuthor

Nathan Evans (D8, M, 16)- Ah man Nathan was so nice. Too nice. I had a feeling he was a goner so it didn't shock me that much but it was still sad. Goodbye Nathan. Now you died twice.

-Placement: 19th Place

-Story: Second Chance by: CreativeAJL

Sequoia Sable (D7, F, 12)-I was really sad to see her go. She was a really sweet girl and it hurt to see her die. She was too kind and too nice for anything. She died because she didn't give up on an ally and I respect her for that. Rip Sequoia, you will be missed.

-Placement: 23rd Place

-Story: The Altar of Blood: 103rd Hunger Games by: ZJB3

Grese Heathers (D6, F, 17)-Grese was killed after almost killing the girl from 2. She almost made the career alliance but unfortunately, Grese wasn't quick enough. I'm going to miss her.

-Placement: 24th Place

-Story: The World in Balance: The 102nd Hunger Games(SYOT) by: ZJB3

My Victors

Quanta Bomm (D3, F, 13)- Quanta. My first victor. This means a lot to me. I'm so happy that I finally have a victor and that Quanta had the honor of being the first one. Here's to more victors! XD. But I loved Quanta. She is a hyperactive genius who loves explosives and pineapples. She made some good friends, especially the D10 boy, Dargo. They went to end together and he died in her arms after a fatal wound. She had a plan that wiped out the career alliance, and used her crossbow skills to kill the girl from 12 and the girl from 8, both in defense of Dargo. She's a spitfire and deserves her win. I love you Quanta. May you be at peace with your pineapples. :D

Kills: 6

Weapon: Crossbow

Story: The Altar of Blood: 103rd Hunger Games by: ZJB3

Medusa Gorgona (D2, F, 18)-Medusa is one of my favorite characters I’ve ever made. She’s a “modern take on an old classic.” She had a very hard life that was directly inspired by Greek mythology and then she found herself in the Games. Ultimately, she made a first real friend within the career alliance but it’s the Hunger Games and there can only be one winner. I loved making her and loved reading her. I’m so glad she won and she’s also especially important to me because she was the first character I made after getting back into syots. Congrats girl, you earned it.

Kills: 4

Weapon: Scimitars

Story: Let the Good Times Roll: The 60th Hunger Games by: LadyCordeliaStuart

Rook Karis (D3, M, 16)-Rook was one of those characters that caught me off guard. I didn't expect him to win at all. I liked him well enough but I tried to distance myself from him because of the bits of myself I put into his character. For a while I didn't want him to win but as time went on, I fell in love with his character again and was rooting for him to win. The way his character was written was one of the best depictions of one of my characters EVER. It was just as I imagined it and more. This story was incredible and legitimately one of the best syots ever. Check it out if you have time.

Kills: 2

Weapon: Knife

Story: Recrudesce by: Red Castellan

Sapphira Starlett (D1, F, 17)-Sapphira, my dahling. She is probably my favorite character I've ever made for a syot. Her backstory was probably one of the most unique and developed concepts I've ever come up with and it was incredibly close to my heart as a fan of the world of film. Sapphira is definitely a character that is almost a romanticized version of me, but who also has so many deep layers and unique elements that go beyond myself. She is truly a fantastic character and I found myself rooting for her victory more than any other tribute I've ever made. Part of that was due to the author of the story she was, in developing her so well and making me care for a fictional character more than I ever had before. Reading her path to victory was one of the most satisfying things in my whole thing. If you're curious about her character journey, I would recommend reading the story she and won and its sequel. They are both amazing syots that I think have a fantastic mix of humor and sophistication. Thank you Sapphira Starlett. You will always be a star.

Kills: 5

Weapon: Naginata
