Right now, I'm doing revisions for my last novel, Gabriela's Gift. Sadly, half of it has to be rewritten. And I'm almost half done with my WiP (work in progress) at 23K. Its hard to explain what its about, but I've got two more books planned out to come after it. Let's just say it features, faeries (different than Faerie Path faeries), werewolves, evil sorcerers, and... boarding school. haha What about you?

Oooh. "Gabriela's Gift" catches my attention. I'm working on a project called (as of right now) "Otherworld". Its about a sixteen-year-old girl, Ashlyn Blackwood, and her nine-year-old sister, Sophie Blackwood. They both end up entering an alternate dimension through Ashlyn's mirror, both entered separately and on different means. Ashlyn is there because the High King decided to make her his amusement (she wished for an adventure). So now she has to find a way home and grow out of the childish girl she once was. It deals with humes, witches, minotaurs, faeries, kraken, goblins, drama, romance, adventure, and a whole lot more. I originally intended it to be one book but after thinking of ALL the things I wanna add, it may develop into a trilogy. ^^'''' Anyone else working on anything?

Thank you! As for fanfiction, no I haven't. I would like to but I don't know any plot to write about for "Faerie Path." *sigh* Have you done any fanfiction for it?

No, but I read some really great ones during the writing contest on the old website. I'm trying to come up with a plot for a Faerie Path roleplay...

im writing some fanfics trying to get my new chapters up i have a faerie path wip fanfic not on fanfictuon.net yet where Tania travels between the worlds to Hogwarts and can't get back
im also writing some original stories my favorite one is about a girl who finds out she is part angel and a princess and has magical powers that are a bit crazy and she can't control them she is 17 and her father the king wants her to marry a prince after she turns 18 so she has a year to find a boy she really really likes the faerie path actually gave me the first part then i just started writing but im starting to think even that first part is way to simmular to the faerie path
i have other ones but they are too boring and have no plot actually nothing i write has a planned plot which is my problem since most stories i stop writing after a while

Don't worry about anything being too similar to other things. I've done that and its a BAD idea, trust me. Your idea sounds cool. Keep working on it. Just remember, there are no new stories. Every story is similar to a thousand others. Even Faerie Path.

Arya's right. There's is no more originality now. But with spices and twists, you can give it a new look. So don't give up!

Here's part of my book I'm currently writing, but first a summary. The person who it's based on (still have yet to come up with a name for, lets call her B) is a slave to a wealthy family. She goes to the market to buy food for the household. The person in charge of the servants in the castle see's her and buys her from the household. Their she meets the Prince, Prince Edric Nathaniel Kye Daragon. He seems to like her and talks to her a lot, but she feels that he's a little to self righteous when she first meets him. Then she starts to like him a little. This is part of when he invites her to go on a picnic and she accepts:
"Well, I don't think dragons are so bad." Kye say's. He's standing next to her as she unpacks the picnic. "I do," she replies, "they steal the live stock and eat the shepherds! They cause the villages and towns to go in to a panic! They steal gold and silver from the wealthy and do all sorts of things!" she finishes in a flurry, her cheeks flush at the embarrassment of just going into a rant in front of the Prince. He looks down at her and smiles at her flushed face. "Not all of them." Then he runs and jumps of the edge of the cliff with his arms outspread, his cloak fluttering in the wind. "Kye!" she screams and lunges towards the edge. She gingerly peers over the edge and gasps at what she see's. A black, sleek dragon soars through the sky, it's scales glisten blue and green in the sun. It does a couple of flips then flies up to where she's peering over the edge. She gazes into it's eyes and realizes that it's Kye. "Dragon!" a soldier shouts. Automatically arrows start zipping past her ears. The dragon drops out of sight. "B,B! Are you alright? Where's the Prince?" Robert, the Prince's assistant, yells. He scurries up the slope. He grabs her and pulls her away form the roughly, he starts shaking her. "Where is he, where is he?" he shouts, still shaking her. "I..I-" she stammers, not knowing how to respond. "Oh, thanks goodness!" he exclaims. The Prince is walking up the hill to them...eating an apple. "What happened?" he asked, his eyes are sparkling with a mischievous glint. "A dragon just flew by and we didn't know where you were! Your father didn't approve of this and where going back to the castle!" He shoves B towards the Prince and he catches her. "We haven't even eaten, come now, your soldiers probaly scared it away by now." That's when B faints.
"Where am I?" B mutters as she pulls away from unconsciousness. She rubs her eyes and sits up. "Your in the Servant Corridors of my Castle." says a voice, she gasps, she wasn't expecting an answer. She looks over to see Kye lounging in a chair next to her bed. She looks around the room, nobody else is there. She allows her eyes to rest back on Kye. His cloak is draped across the back of his chair, she could see part of the greenish, blue linning. He has a book in his hand that she recognizes, but can't put a name on. Her mind's still a little foggy. "How long have I've been out?" she asks, still trying to remember the name of the book he's holding. "A few days, but he Doctor wasn't worried. He said it just seemed to went into shock." He flicks a glance at her put continues reading. She remembers about him being the dragon and gasps. He looks at her and smiles, his white teeth shinning. Then she remembers the name of the book he's reading. "That's my diary!" she yells at him, "give it back!" she grabs it out of his hands before he could registered what was happening. "But I haven't reached the good part yet!" he exclaims lounging for it. She gets pinned underneath him and holds the book up high. He has one knee on the bed and reaches up for her diary. His hand clasps around the intricate designed book. He glances down at her, and his eyes catch the sunlight pouring in from the many windows, he holds her eyes captive. She thinks, 'His eyes look like the jeweler crossed sapphires and emeralds, then she banishes the though from her mind. He still is gazing into her eyes, his breath catches and her's comes in quick, short breaths. Slowly he moves his head towards her's, tilting it so it's inclined. Then Kye jumps at the sound of the old, wooden doors creaking open. He swivels on his heel so he faces the door, his face is flushed like her's was on the cliff. He holds the back of his neck and starts to rub. She notices he has a birth mark there. "Your majesty, the King and Queen would like to see you in their private chambers." says Roger as he enters the room. "Tell them I'll be right there." Kye responds, his face still flushed. Roger shots an accusing glance at B like her knew what was about to happen. "Of course." he says as he backs out of the room. Kye grabs his cloak of the back of the chair. He turns to face B and opens his mouth, then snaps it shut and darts out of the room.
