Welcome to my profile. It’s long and it looks boring. But you might find something of interest in here nevertheless, so have a look around, take a seat and get yourself a cookie. Something might be worth your while.

Author’s Corner

The nutcase is back for one last time. Whatever that is supposed to mean...

No, seriously now. It's more likely that the nutcase is here to stay. She hasn't spent all this time on this site to just drop out.

At least I think she hasn't. On the other hand the nutcase is very busy at the moment - exams are ringing their bells before any Christmas bells are allowed to ring. But if you are all nice kids, maybe Father Christmas or New Year's Eve will bring some surprise...

Or, if I start to get bored during my exams, the next two weeks already might.

The party ain't over yet ;-)

Enaty

Personal information:

Enaty…

- doesn’t like bad grammar and spelling (just for the book, she writes BE most of the time)

- doesn’t like stories without plot or with a see-through plot a child could guess

- tries hard herself to meet her own standards and expects other people to give their best, too

- hates people who can only write using bOLd aNd SmAlL all mixed up, as well as people who apparently aren’t able to convey what they are saying in whole sentences

- is very thankful if she is told what she can do better with her own stories

- will not, under any circumstances (apart from her death, a tragic accident, a life-threatening sickness... you get the picture. Something serious, in any case) discontinue a story she started to post

- because she highly dislikes people who start writing a story and then never finish

All in all, she’s not half as bad as she acts, but she can become quite unfriendly when encountered with stupidity and apparent pride of it.

Notes on stories already online

Mixed Pickles: Quite tricky, that one. Originally those pieces were one-shots. I'm not a fan of spamming the archive with pieces that are only a few hundred words long, so I just put all of them in one "story". The title is supposed to convey that there is more than one story archieved there.

However, I'm not sure if people got that. And considering that, very unexpectedly, some of the stories took on a life of their own and practically wrote follow-ups... I suppose I started a series in a series. For better connection, here's what's related to each other so far:

T.I. Series: Technical Incompatibility, Hansel and Gretel, Laying out the Bait, The Zebra Incident

You will find individual A/Ns for each one-shot right there.

Then there are a few other single pieces I wrote and that have no connection to each other or any of my other stories.

Music was written on the fling of a moment, due to the radio playing the Roxette song “Sleeping in my car”. I love that song, I like the video, and I was reading PSoH. I noticed that Leon and D were positively begging to be used along with the song, and that was that ;-)

The Terrible Tea of D was an attempt to find out what kind of chaos would result if 1. D fell ill, 2. drank some hallucinogenic tea (who knows what’s in his teapot all the time, right?) and 3. Leon turned up in Tokyo. The story got longer than I anticipated, more complicated and definitely more serious. The fluff at the end is due to my best friend, so don’t blame me, please. I left the decision which ending is best to her, and she preferred this.

Le kami mal gardé: AU, OOC, everything you may ask for. I wrote this one for fun, and because I simply love the ballet I based it on (being La fille mal gardée, look it up on wiki if you’re interested). I was curious if I could turn a ballet into a story. Apparently, it worked, but how good, that’s up to you to decide.

The Interspecies Communication Problems-Series (in short just ICP)

We have here the strange occurrence that I liked some of my stories so much that I turned them into a series. Every piece I’ve written and every piece I will write that starts with an “un-“ belongs to this series, and perhaps a few more. The name of the series, “Interspecies Communication Problems”, may sound incredibly boring (yes, it is from biology), but it defines what the series is about for me. If you want to read, welcome and have fun!

Warning: all of ICP takes place after volume 10 of the original Pet Shop of Horrors series and thus spoils the ending of the original series!

Unwanted: Unexpected pregnancies almost always turn out to be a problem. Only that in their case, it should have been quite impossible to have a child together. At least this was what D thought, before he found out that, due to his own stupidity, Leon has gotten him pregnant...
First parts are always a little bit awkward. I did not know Unwanted would wind up as the first part of a series when I started writing it. But that summer was rather boring, and I didn't have anything else to do... apart from writing essays for university. It's no wonder I rather wanted to write that here. In the hopefully near future, this is going to be re-written to fit better in with the rest of the series.

Unprepared: Not enough that their child wasn't planned, neither is their return to America. Stumbling from one emotional trap to the next, somehow, along the way, Leon and D have to figure out how they can work with a child between them...
The same as for Unwanted goes also for Unprepared. As soon as I have some free time, it's going to be re-written. I've wanted to do that for a while - already since I posted the last chapter, I think, but I just didn't have the time or other projects which seemed more important to me. However, this time I'm resolved to get it done.

Unexpected: No one was yet able to find out how or why, but for some reason, even when they really don't want to, Leon and D are always able to fuck up. And because they never do things by halves, if they start once, it's only a question of time until things blow way out of proportion...
Finally this series does it's name credit. My sadistic side loves this part. The rest of me sits beside the sadistic part and mourns the nerves Unexpected costed me. I think that I have never before worked so hard on a story, although there are certainly things I could have done much better. But Unexpected required me thinking myself into someone who works differently than a human does, and while I loved the experience, it sometimes drove me crazy (especially when I thought I hadn't succeeded). I do not know how this part is read by someone else, but if I managed to convey the controversy this relationship presents, that's enough for me.

You've really made it down here?! Wow. Respect. Well, if you could spare so much time reading my profile, what are another five minutes of telling me what you thought? ;-)
