| Zayz |
Author has written 84 stories for Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Twilight, and House, M.D.. Heyy, guys. Welcome to Zay's profile! -- Icon Description: This is an old one - that's a Snow Patrol lyric from the song "Chasing Cars" and the picture is from the hallucination sex in Season 5 - but I dunno. I liked it. And it's kind of relevant at the moment, considering the messy state of affairs that House's department is. Hence...another restless icon change. Yay! -- Quick Links: Changed, in German: http://www.fanfiktion.de/s/495cb4c30000a248067007d0 Zay on Fictionpress: http://www.fictionpress.com/~LadySarcastique Got any other links you think Zay will madly enjoy? -- My Life: 11/3: I'm kind of dreadful, to be honest. A girl who is supposed to be one of my friends kind of loathes me, a couple of other girls are a little distant, and I feel alone. I want my friends back. I don't know what happened. Hence...SSW might be on a brief hiatus for a couple of weeks. Also, I've figured out what I want to do for my start-of-the-year fic. It's called 500 Days and inspired loosely by the movie 500 Days (of Summer) because I love it. It should be...a little AU and interesting. I think you should like it. LISTENING TO: Sparse accoustics. -- What I'm Writing: 10/14: As I continue to muddle through the marshes of junior year, here's what my writing brain is thinking about... She Said What is my current focus. I've poured all my little one-shottish plot bunnies into the outline for that story and I'm super excited with what I've got coming up. Lots of love and lots of sadness. I'm going to be an emotional wreck while tying that one up, but it's so worth it. I love exploring those feelings and bringing you all along for the ride. Otherwise... Other, non-SSW related one-shot ideas are starting to float about in my brain, and if they ever take form, I'll let you know. But for now, I wouldn't expect anything. My head is so full of shit that you'd be surprised. So, um, keep in touch, guys, and that includes R&Ring. -- The Publishing Chronicles If you guys are interested in seeing how publishing my book, Poignant Struggles of an Aspiring Writer, is going, it's all down here. XxX 10/21: I am a cowardly chicken with nothing worth reading. The book needs work and love and time - all things it cannot have right now. But when I come back to it, it'll only be for me. I'm not ready for people to get a look at who I privately am quite yet. Dayyum... 4/6: I found this book that's actually quite good for this sort of thing. Recommended to me by someone I know. My library has yet to get it in, but when they do, I will read it through and think long and hard about what I want to do. You might be seeing a bounce-back. Maybe it's just me being optimistic. I dunno. I have a problem with putting myself out there - FF is easy because no one knows me here, silly gooses! - so if I convince myself to get over that, watch your nearest bookstore. Otherwise...keep looking for me online. I'm still lurking. Kind of. News will come when it's worth hearing. Ho hum... 3/15: I must be insane. Really and truly insane. But, Ashley (solitaireclay07) sent me the Twitter link for an agency and said I should go for it and I decided I would. This is my last query (for the foreseeable future, anyway) and when they reject me, it'll be the last rejection e-mail I'll get for a while. This publishing thing is so frightening. In case you were wondering - no, I didn't talk to my Literary Magainze supervisor. I didn't talk to my friends. I didn't talk to anyone. I don't want to do this, because I don't believe in my book, nor do I want to put myself out there right now. Writing is so personal to me - almost too personal - and allowing people to get a glimpse of my soul and then sending me back generic rejections just doesn't jibe with me. Okay, maybe I'm giving up too soon. Maybe I'm a coward. Maybe I'm a lot of things. You can take your pick. But that doesn't mean I'm doing this. No one honestly wants to hear what I have to say and I know that. It's silly to think someone will pay me to spew my shit all over the place. I'll let you know when the rejection comes in, but I think this is where the Publishing Chronicles end. I just don't want to publish. It doesn't matter anyway. I'll keep writing because I love it, but that doesn't mean people have to see it. Nyah... 2/26: I don't know anymore, to be honest. I don't know if I'm going to do this. I'm still not sure if I want to fight for my book. I'm not even sure people will let me publish because I'm underage. I'm thinking about it a lot, I really am - but it's weird. Some days, I want to do it so, so bad; and other days, I'm like, what's the use? I am considering going to my Literary Magazine Club supervisor about it. She knows me by now (I've been in the club for a year and a half, she'd better) so maybe she has some advice. I don't know. I'm wary about asking her. We'll see though. And, if anything comes up, believe me when I say I will let you know. Blegh... 1/20: The most historically awesome day in American history - the day that people will have in their history textbooks some years from now - and what have I got to show for it? A rejection, so soon after sending the query. And not just that, a totally and utterly generic one. It said "Dear Author" instead of my name. People like that really piss me off...but I really, really, really, really, really want to go to college!! This is way too stressful for me. Quitting is tempting, but medical school is more so. Back to the drawing board, then. Blah... 1/6: Rejected again. Publishing is so overrated. Bah humbug... 12/16: You really have no idea how insulting it can feel to be rejected again, even if you weren't really into it from the beginning. People keep telling me, "You could be famous, you could be famous," but it doesn't feel like it. I want to quit because I'm naturally a quitter, but at the same time, Jo Rowling didn't quit the first seven times when the idiotic publishers rejected our darling Harry. If she had, I wouldn't be writing. So I'm going to keep going. College is a dream I want to achieve and people work a lot harder for it than I do...hence, I'm waiting on six other ladies to get back to me. Then I'll just keep plugging away at this. Eurgh... 12/13: R-E-J-E-C-T-I-O-N, rejection!! Yup. Another agent rejected me today. I have now created a special rejection song for myself to sing every time it happens. Rejection number six! Woot!! I am waiting on seven people now; five I sent to three days ago, two who I sent to before that haven't replied back. I don't expect them to say anything new. That's okay though; the fact of the matter is, most people don't publish, and I do not expect to be an exception to the rule. I'm nothing special and neither is my story; but it's worth a shot because life is for living and I want to get to college one day... Woaw... 12/10: And again, I am REJECTED! God. Four rejections and it hasn't been a month. xD I bet you everything and more that it's my age. Or maybe it's just that my plot-line isn't all that intriguing. I dunno. But hey, maybe all this is a good thing. If someone said they were willing to represent me, I don't know what I'd say. I'd be terrified! But I do want to get into college, so the everlasting struggle continues... Oh and by the way - I sent to 6 agents today because I was like, "Screw it all," and so now I'm waiting on a total of 8 people to get back to me. The website I did my research on says that good news comes fast from an agent and it's usually in phone-call format. I'm watching my phone like a hawk... Still 12/10: OMG! The person I sent to THIS MORNING declined me!! You know, if I didn't want to get into Northwestern so badly, I'd say fuck it all and if they don't want me, I never wanted them particularly to begin with!! With all the shit I've seen out there, I can't help but feel a little offended that they won't take my shit. What's wrong with my shit if they can take other people's shit?! It's very annoying; but you know what, if I want to get into college, I'd better grit my teeth and resend to someone else. Or maybe edit my query letter a little, lol. Gah... 12/2: The person I sent to yesterday rejected me in less than twenty-four hours! I think I'm doomed to a perpetual slush pile...the bad thing about declining agents is that they don't tell you what they dislike about you...it just leaves you thinking you pretty much suck...but in my case, I kinda do, lol, so maybe I shouldn't be so hurt just yet. Being semi-well-known on the Internet has really inflated my ego. Stupid bitchy thing. It needs to come back to earth and realize it's not as great as it thought it was. A couple of people still haven't replied yet. Will they hurry up and reject me already? Lalala... 12/1: I felt like sending my query letter to someone else earlier than planned, even though I didn't get a response from the other two people that I was currently waiting on. I decided to share this with you. It was very nervous-making, but maybe this person will be my Big Break, as they call it in show biz. We'll see. Er... 11/23: Second rejection letter came today! LOL I bet you everything it's my age. That was my query opener, because I want people to know, straight off the bat, that I am a younger author. I think if I took that out, people would take me seriously. xD But I'm not vain. I know it's probably just that my subject matter is way too cliche. My age coupled with that fact probably doesn't do me any good. Maybe I'll stop trying. Maybe I won't. I don't know yet but I don't think I will. Let me make it through my whole list of good agents and we'll see how this goes. At least these people are prompt, lol. Umm... 11/21: It's only been three days and I already got a response for my publishing deal! Don't be too excited. She said no, lol. But hey, I still think it's something that she actually got back to me and told me that -she- would not be the right fit. She said nothing about -me- being a bad candidate. I'm going to email another query to a different agent and see what happens, but maybe I'll strike it lucky. It's doubtful - I told you that already - but the fact that I'm trying and just got my first rejection (part of the writing process) is pretty cool. But on the plus side, I got an A on the Algebra test! I'll keep you posted when I get news. Thanks, guys! Yeah... 11/18: News on the publishing thing... So I discovered that the first query I sent didn't actually go through. I was kind of surprised, but that's what Yahoo told me, so there you go. I'm actually happy it didn't send; I played around a little more with the phrasing and it sounds better, I think. I've found a few really promising agents who seemed totally great and I mailed two of them today. I'm supposed to get an answer within a month or so. I used my tender young age of fifteen as my opener - I don't think they don't get too many queries from teenagers - just because I wanted their attention, so hopefully they'll still read my query and take me seriously!! I'll keep you guys posted on all that jazz, but there won't be much to say. It's all waiting for a response. In two weeks, I'm sending to another really promising agent I liked the sound of and I'm constantly checking my phone/email in case something happens. But don't be too excited - I don't think I'm getting a response. Like I said, I'm fifteen, and honestly, better writers than me take years to get published. What are the odds that I, of all people, am going to get a snappy reply? It's a big, nasty world out there, and I don't want to be hopeful in the least; so let's put this out of our minds and I shall work on writing some more, lol.- But if you care - information will be up on my profile if something happens. For now, the biggest thing in my life is my Algebra test tomorrow; so we shall just have to see. -- Zayz: "I'm just your average, everyday, sane psycho." I am Zay. Harsh but vulnerable. An open book. The girl in the back corner of the room Rambles and never gives much away. Secretive around most people, honest on all paper. An oxymoron. And totally proud of it. xxx Her Theme Song: Bitch xxx Loves: The Dark Knight, Definitely Maybe, Titanic, She's the Man, Enchanted, Two Weeks Notice, Music & Lyrics, The Holiday, Freaky Friday, Stormbreaker, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary, The Princess Diaries, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Spiderman 1 & 2, Dan in Real Life, No Reservations, Juno, 27 Dresses, and Becoming Jane. Also loves: books, House M.D., violin, screaming, children, rain, British/Australian accents, laughter, the Marauders, writing, chocolate, shoes, not being in school, salty crackers, nachos, Italian food, fluffy pillows, reviews, and you. -- The Poem This was something I wrote for Conner (a.k.a. Creature), but I put it up for those girls out there who have accidentally missed the chance to tell the loves of their lives that they care for them. I, of all people, know how much unrequited love sucks. It's pasted onto a picture, because it was too long to keep on my profile, and I wanted it to be available in case you liked it. You'll have to zoom in because the font is small. -- Zay's Fan Fiction Survival Guide: So obviously, I've written my fair share for this website in the year I've been here. It must be daunting, having that whole big list of stories to choose from; so here's a list I've complied for you on what to read for what mood you might be in. Fluffy Goodness Denial Maturer Fluff Bittersweet Intense Reflective Dialogue One-shots Multi-Chaptered Fics She Said What: My current baby. Also all over the map emotion-wise. Other Fandoms ZAY'S FAVORITE FICS FROM THE LISTS: -- Liz My best friend on this site is Liz and she has to be one of the coolest people you will ever talk to. She's pretty much insane, but don't worry; if she frightens you with something she says, just remember she has a weirder sense of humor than I do - teehee! She's hilarious, sardonic, quirky, bubbly, and just overall awesome. Definitely someone who can make your day. She writes Sparrabeth mostly - and it's damn fantastic Sparrabeth, by the way - and these days, she is writing Teen Titans and House. She pulls them all off wonderfully with her signature craziness and gorgeous, fluid writing style. She has yet to screw up a characterization, something that cannot be said for most of the writers here, and really, I could go on forever but she'd probably kill me. So, essentially, this girl is the shit; go check her out! RECOMMENDED: -- Other Fantastic People on This Site: I have several friends on this site that are all quite lovely people, and this is basically just my big valentine to them, because they are worthy of it. Check these people out - they're so cool, they gotta be measured in Kelvin. ;) Hpobsessedrissa: A fantastic writer, fantastic girl, fantastic beta...need I say any more? Luv ya, Rissa!! Read & Review them if they've written, because I know they'd totally appreciate it! -- Ships Zay Sails and Sinks: Pirates of the Caribbean Harry Potter Twilight A Great and Terrible Beauty House M.D. -- Worthy of Notice: I'm also in the process of beta-ing this one totally fantastic fic for this one totally fantastic author at the moment - it's good fun, and the story is coming along beautifully. Check it out: Quiet Summer, by Wilhelmina Willoughby If you like what I write, then you'll fall in love with this girl. It's worth every second of your time; this story is eloquent, funny, sensitive, and Mina has a killer ability for cliff hangers that will drive you crazy! It's love at first word, so quit reading this and read the story. Seriously. RECENT EDIT: Rest assured, fans of this epic story, that me and Mina are talking seriously about plot and getting back in the swing of things. I drafted her an outline (so if she uses it, I technically know exactly how QS is going to pan out) and I'm waiting for her to complete Chapter 21 so we can get the story moving again. You guys have been so lovely and patient with us as we get our acts together, but your patience shall be rewarded. Just so you know. -- End: If you read all of that, wow, I officially love you even more than I did before! It's one hell of a long, conceited profile; but hey, if you care, then you care. Take a virtual cookie for yourself on the way out. But be wary; all the unworthy people who don't review when they're done reading get their cookies spat in. ;) Much love, | |||||||||
