The Healing Gift -Synopsis-
In a world where the main classes are all about summoning, fortune-telling, and magic; where a letter in your name can mean the difference between success and failure and healing is considered the greatest gift amongst all the pain, some fight to survive.

Zan, a girl in her 12th year, struggles to live. People around her hate her just because of her name and title. Her powerful gift does nothing to help that, but gives nothing to defend herself with. And with her power, a mysterious force is at work, plaguing her conscience, forcing her to the brink.

She has to succeed, her life depends on it. But how can she when everything seems set again
These Dreams Run - Chapter 1CHAPTER ONE

Corleanne High wasn't, and never had been, a 'looker'. Tired, slumping mesh fences measured out the perimeter of its grounds, and the once proud, grand white front with its pillars and steps were a sad and sorry affair. The ribbed, Romanised pillars were blackened from the fumes of passing cars and tobacco, yellowed at the bases with foul-smelling stale urine. The school motto, Ex uno disce omnes – From one person, learn all people – was hidden beneath years of pigeon scum, the words barely showing. The stately stairs leading to the huge, double-doors which marked the entrance to the school were worn and withered with t
NaNoWriMo Synopsis: Iris Sunset
         Iris Sunset represents the story of Iris' inner struggle to stay sane and live a normal life after a series of unfortunate events. She's a troubled teenager whose life is more than what a 17 years old can normally handle.

She is tormented by the guilt of not saving him and she blames herself for his death.

Incantare SynopsisShe is an ordinary girl. Unfortunately, ordinary girls make mistakes. Her biggest one? Stumbling into a cottage, not realizing whose it was, and eating the food. Consequences?

Sacrifice: Chapter TwoChapter Two

I can tell you the truth behind your parents' deaths.
They died. Isn't that all that matters? They're dead and they're not coming back. That's the harsh truth of life. If you're alive, you will be dead someday. It seems sometimes that it'll be in the distant future, but often quite close. Too close for you to imagine. What did happen to my parents? A murder? Drowning? Hanging? Electrocution? Maybe even suicide?
Stop that, I tell myself. It's no use. They're dead, and there's nothing you can do about it other than sulk.
The tears find me again. The officer must be used to it, because he doesn't comment. Five minutes pass - or i

How to get used to your new tablet!This tutorial is by no means a definitive guide, but it should help you with your tablet usage!
1 - First and foremost, don't be afraid of it. You need to use it. Every. Single. Day. Use it to browse the web for example. It'll help you get used to the sensitivity (practice highlighting sections of text), and all of the features of the pen. Some suggest that you should hide your mouse, so you're forced to only use your tablet! Through daily use, it should become an extension of your arm, and begin to move naturally.
2 - Play with it. Mess around with all of the settings your tablet has to offer. Not only will it help you find the settings you're most comfortable with, but it'll teach you what each individual part does. Also play around with it in your chosen drawing program (Photoshop / SAI / etc.), you'll learn more about your tablet and how it reacts to the program's settings (which may be different than what you're used to) - you're undoubte
How to get more from your commenters!If like me you crave critique and feedback, but only ever get "nice work" comments, here are some tips to get what you want!
First of all, allow me to briefly elaborate on what I mean by critique and feedback.
Critique - Noun, A detailed analysis and assessment of something.
Someone who offers you a critique gifts you with a full evaluation of the good and bad parts of your piece, as well as offering ideas for its improvement.


Feedback - Noun, Information about reactions to a product.
They let you know which parts they like / don't like, and possibly how the piece made them feel.
Comments such as "Great work!" "Awesome" don't fall into either of these categories.
Reply to them with a question.
Asking a question prompts a response. Not only that, but it forces them to take a look at your work again! Below are two screenshots where I have used this technique.

Heaven is a Metaphor - Synopsis

:icontehangelscry:

To be stolen away from your home, to have to suffer in order to survive, and trust complete strangers with your life – could you handle it?

Unsure of where they are, or the strange circumstances of their arrival, six strangers must find it in themselves to rely on each other as a twisted being forces them to endure debilitating challenges. To him, it is all a game. He juggles their lives in his hands and laughs at their misfortunes, forcing them to turn on each other at a whim.

With such drastic differences in their worlds, can the supremely technological Gina K'Rai learn to understand and appreciate the intricacies of Naviris Divum's relationship with her Sky God? Can Queen El Shi Suma, of the Rekshuran Empire, learn to work alongside Zenzirak Tenroul, an assassin blindly killing whomever his master decides? And can Arteru Tiamta, soldier and husband trained to only obey those he deems of proven character, learn to work with Ni'Qua Cyr Iltia who has been brainwashed by his own Familiar?

And in the end, will they truly discover the meaning behind the words which stalk them in every world?
